WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.426 Let's lift our bibles up, wave them around, make Jesus glad and the devil mad. 00:00:03.426 --> 00:00:07.166 Say this together so, heavenly Father, I do honor you today. 00:00:07.166 --> 00:00:18.806 Every good and perfect gift that I have received has come down from above, from you, my Father of light. 00:00:18.806 --> 00:00:23.425 You illuminate me today, you light the way before me. 00:00:23.425 --> 00:00:27.943 I don't walk in darkness, I walk in the light of life. 00:00:27.943 --> 00:00:38.509 In Jesus' name, amen, praise God, you can be seated, and let's turn in our bibles to three places Revelation, chapter 12. 00:00:38.509 --> 00:00:40.023 That's what I said. 00:00:40.023 --> 00:00:41.307 Revelation, amen. 00:00:41.307 --> 00:00:47.429 How many of you have ever read the book of Revelation? 00:00:47.429 --> 00:00:48.170 See, you're blessed. 00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:50.527 The Bible says if you read it, then you're blessed. 00:00:50.527 --> 00:00:57.048 Revelation 12, and then also Ephesians six. 00:00:57.048 --> 00:01:01.944 Those two places, and Luke 21,. 00:01:02.164 --> 00:01:13.480 We'll say for last, revelation 12, we'll start reading with verse seven and there was war in heaven, see, that's pretty shocking, isn't it? 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:19.891 We don't think about a heaven as a place of war, but at one point there was war in heaven. 00:01:19.891 --> 00:01:29.367 Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels. 00:01:29.367 --> 00:01:42.584 We find out later that about a third of the angels had sided with Lucifer in this war and prevailed. 00:01:42.584 --> 00:01:51.331 Not the dragon prevailed not the third of the angels that prevailed not. 00:01:51.331 --> 00:02:12.824 Neither was their place found anymore in heaven, and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth 49.8% of the world, no, the whole world. 00:02:12.824 --> 00:02:18.989 Everybody say the devil's deceiver, so he deceives the whole world. 00:02:18.989 --> 00:02:24.848 He was cast out into where the earth and his angels were cast out with him. 00:02:24.848 --> 00:02:29.045 Not too good a place to be. 00:02:29.045 --> 00:02:50.330 The earth, the devil and a third of the angels are here, and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven now has come salvation and strength in the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ, for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God, day and night. 00:02:50.330 --> 00:02:57.750 And they, who's they, the brethren that were accused? 00:02:57.750 --> 00:03:10.106 They, everybody say that's me overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony, and they love not their lives unto the death. 00:03:10.106 --> 00:03:14.968 Therefore, rejoice ye, heavens and ye that dwell in them. 00:03:14.968 --> 00:03:28.723 Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea, for the devil has come down unto you having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 00:03:28.723 --> 00:03:33.724 Great wrath, all right. 00:03:33.846 --> 00:03:36.231 And then let's look at Ephesians, chapter six. 00:03:36.231 --> 00:03:48.366 How many of you know, all these verses are written to the church Book of Revelation was given to the seven churches in Asia Minor. 00:03:48.366 --> 00:03:58.365 God you know, jesus told John on the Isle of Potmos write all these things down and put it in a letter to the seven churches. 00:03:58.365 --> 00:04:03.852 God doesn't want us ignorant about the devil, he doesn't want us ignorant about the deceiver. 00:04:03.852 --> 00:04:06.508 Ephesians, chapter six. 00:04:06.508 --> 00:04:18.353 Finally, my brethren, see, I like that word finally because it wraps up everything that the book of Ephesians had said in chapters one through the first part of six. 00:04:20.526 --> 00:04:31.834 Finally, in result of everything I've told you, ephesians and us, be strong in your own constitution. 00:04:31.834 --> 00:04:34.983 Be strong, no, in the Lord. 00:04:34.983 --> 00:04:38.107 Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. 00:04:38.107 --> 00:04:50.547 Put on the whole armor of God, the entire armor that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 00:04:50.547 --> 00:04:58.177 Wiles literally means trickery, craft, deceit. 00:04:58.177 --> 00:05:13.165 If we're gonna stand against deception and trickery and craft and deceit, we're gonna have to do it clothed in the armor of God and we're gonna have to do it in the strength that Jesus gives us. 00:05:13.165 --> 00:05:14.144 Are y'all with us now? 00:05:14.144 --> 00:05:16.605 All right, and then Luke 21, eight. 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:25.805 You don't necessarily have to turn there, but Jesus told his disciples, they ask him, you know, when are the signs of your coming or your glorious appearing. 00:05:25.805 --> 00:05:26.684 What are the signs? 00:05:26.684 --> 00:05:28.031 What are we gonna be looking for? 00:05:28.031 --> 00:05:29.891 They thought he was coming in their generation. 00:05:29.891 --> 00:05:32.007 They didn't know the whole Bible then. 00:05:32.007 --> 00:05:37.750 The Bible is progressive revelation but they lived as if Jesus could come at any moment. 00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:38.923 That's the way we ought to live. 00:05:38.923 --> 00:05:49.206 Instead of worrying about the clock or the calendar, we ought to be living the life that we think we should live, as if Jesus is coming at any moment. 00:05:49.247 --> 00:05:53.026 For the church, what are the signs of your coming? 00:05:53.026 --> 00:06:00.470 And the first thing that Jesus said before he described those signs is take heed that you be not deceived. 00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:03.346 Big, big importance right here. 00:06:03.346 --> 00:06:14.846 Take heed that you be not deceived, for many shall come in my name, saying I'm Christ, or they would say most people can't get by with that. 00:06:14.846 --> 00:06:17.084 Well, they'll just say I'm anointed. 00:06:17.084 --> 00:06:20.305 Well, god sent me to you. 00:06:20.305 --> 00:06:24.608 Well, satan comes as an angel of light. 00:06:24.608 --> 00:06:25.863 Satan comes as a. 00:06:25.863 --> 00:06:28.305 I'm telling you, he can deceive you real easy. 00:06:28.305 --> 00:06:29.884 That's why I'm preaching this message. 00:06:29.884 --> 00:06:33.067 I'm preaching a message entitled defeating deception. 00:06:33.067 --> 00:06:37.105 Defeating deception. 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:38.564 We're surrounded by it. 00:06:38.564 --> 00:06:53.007 We just witnessed an entire world deceived over germ warfare and the UN and all the all of the letter agencies of America. 00:06:53.007 --> 00:06:54.504 You know they all. 00:06:54.504 --> 00:06:56.523 Can you know your conspiracy theory? 00:06:56.523 --> 00:06:57.444 You bet I am. 00:06:57.444 --> 00:07:01.458 They lied through their teeth. 00:07:01.458 --> 00:07:07.177 Every bit of it was a lie, not that the virus was real, but it was man-made, made old purpose and made to hurt us. 00:07:07.177 --> 00:07:14.103 And it hurt us, but it didn't have to hurt us as bad as it did if we just followed the rules that we already know about herd immunity. 00:07:14.103 --> 00:07:15.973 We've had that happen right here. 00:07:15.973 --> 00:07:23.389 We brought in doctors and we brought in experts to tell you the truth while it was going on, so that people wouldn't think that we're crazy. 00:07:23.389 --> 00:07:27.261 But no, they've been deceived the whole. 00:07:27.261 --> 00:07:30.629 Satan was behind every bit of it and he's deceived the whole world. 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:31.853 This is a great example. 00:07:31.853 --> 00:07:39.196 All you've got to do is get people afraid enough and they'll give up In order to stay safe. 00:07:39.196 --> 00:07:42.435 They want to stay safe? 00:07:42.435 --> 00:07:44.937 Well, there's no such thing. 00:07:44.937 --> 00:07:47.569 Psalm 91 is the only way to stay safe. 00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:51.660 The blood of Jesus is the only one. 00:07:51.660 --> 00:07:59.617 That way, to say safe, walk it in the spirit According to the Holy Ghost, is the only way to stay safe, amen. 00:07:59.617 --> 00:08:08.216 So anyway, just defeating deception and you know, I Brought this message a number of years ago. 00:08:08.255 --> 00:08:24.026 I was inspired by a quote from Billy Graham, a great one, one of the great evangelists of our day, and In his latter days before he passed up, a couple of years before he passed away, he said it's time for Christians to stop underestimating the power of Satan to deceive. 00:08:24.026 --> 00:08:28.459 I Thought that was interesting, coming from a southern Baptist. 00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:36.256 They don't teach about the devil and Baptist church they don't teach about the devil anywhere except right here. 00:08:36.256 --> 00:08:40.654 In a few other churches I mean, brother Hagan taught about the devil, or the faith. 00:08:40.654 --> 00:08:41.739 People teach about the devil. 00:08:41.739 --> 00:08:45.631 You know, we need to know who he is and we know we need to know he exists. 00:08:45.631 --> 00:08:50.842 Did you know that most people that call themselves Christians in America don't believe that there is a devil? 00:08:50.842 --> 00:08:55.961 They think the devil is just an idea, it's a, it's a symbol of evil. 00:08:55.961 --> 00:08:58.714 Well, they couldn't be more wrong. 00:08:58.714 --> 00:09:01.659 It's a real person or an entity. 00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:03.283 Not a person, but he's an entity. 00:09:05.073 --> 00:09:07.460 So we're gonna start a four-part series. 00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:14.302 I think it's gonna be four part I, you know, I'm gonna take my liberty and decide whether to make it longer or shorter as we go. 00:09:14.302 --> 00:09:24.221 But we're living in the end days and there's war that moved from heaven down to earth, the wars here now. 00:09:24.221 --> 00:09:28.958 Well, I thought Jesus defeated that he did defeat the devil. 00:09:28.958 --> 00:09:30.182 There's no question about that. 00:09:30.182 --> 00:09:32.434 He's been defeated, and every entity with him. 00:09:32.434 --> 00:09:36.003 But we are here to enforce the terms of his surrender. 00:09:36.003 --> 00:09:37.373 He's not surrendered. 00:09:37.373 --> 00:09:39.578 He still rules over the rest of the world. 00:09:39.578 --> 00:09:41.062 He's still deceiving them. 00:09:41.062 --> 00:09:43.856 So we're at war, folks. 00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:47.895 Then he's boiling over with anger. 00:09:47.895 --> 00:09:48.277 Why? 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:50.182 Because he knows he doesn't have very long. 00:09:50.182 --> 00:09:54.197 The word wrath means boiling over. 00:09:54.197 --> 00:09:56.322 It means passion, heat, anger. 00:09:56.322 --> 00:10:01.014 That doesn't that describe these activists. 00:10:01.014 --> 00:10:04.038 These pro-abortion activists are so vile. 00:10:04.038 --> 00:10:10.498 These pro-transgender people that want to butcher our children and double-dog. 00:10:10.498 --> 00:10:11.761 Dare us to object?
