bottom we've got one over there I want to read a promise actually I'm going to get this lady back here with her daughter I think it's your daughter to read a promise in Romans chapter 8 verse 19 now I'm gonna read that back to you again and I'm gonna read into it the definitions that are in the original language is that okay do you understand what I mean because I know what it's like when I was young and some of y'all are not that young but some of you are younger I'm not talking about you ladies I was talking about some of the 15 16 17 maybe you guys not speaking how old 16 16 I can remember when I was young and I was raised in the church races the seventh-day adventists but it was kind of boring I hate to say that but it was like you know we go to church because this is what we do this is the right thing to do we just do it but I want you to know something I'm still young I'm only 50 and I still don't want to go and sit and listen where it's just going to the head and it's not doing anything for my life if I go and I just hear some fancy words it doesn't mean anything it has to reach here the heart you know what I mean it's got to be able to give me power to walk differently to live differently what this says right here I want you to remember this promise it says for the earnest expectation of all creation of all creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God who's that talking about if you guys don't talk we'll stay here for three hours and I can talk for three hours who is this talking about the entire universe is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God do you know what that means alright let me give them II asked for and y'all we're not taking names you're not gonna get in trouble tell me who is the prettiest lady or woman that you all know that's in like the media jet nobody's gonna get in trouble who who's the prettiest lady or woman in the media okay the guys are all too scared to say so we'll ask the ladies ladies who is the most masculine or who do y'all think is the most manly man in the media who do who you all have to help me who okay I'll tell you what I know this is old-fashioned but when I was growing up the manliest man there was probably two Clint Eastwood and our own Schwartzel makers still no that is Arnold Schwarzenegger like mr. universe mr. every I mean he was huge my name is huge huge of his arms were bigger than my waist I'm serious for ladies it not only to know who to start with there but it's like you know who do you want to name this dude it is the world think is attractive Beyonce okay that's a good okay we'll go with that what do you think they are going to feel like at the resurrection so here's Beyonce yeah I'm not ticking on her because we need to pray for her but here she is large jewelry in her lack of clothing and all the makeup and all the fancy hairdo and she comes up to the resurrection thinking she's all bad and all of a sudden she looks over a beside her and there's maybe 16 feet tall no makeup no jewelry no fancy dancing hair and she's gorgeous I mean I drop dead the most beautiful woman that has ever lived and here's Arnold Schwarzenegger I mean he's like I've still got it you know I come up out of the grape and he looked over here's Adam that's 18 or 19 feet tall and you know what he would do he would go that's the sons and daughters of God and do you know what sister white said and what the Bible says God is going to do that again you're not going to get into heaven and just wake up be like oh yeah I'm in heaven yay he wants to make every one of us looked like Adam and Eve looked that beautiful that powerful that strong that confident having assurance not pride but assurance that's what God wants so what we're going to be sharing for the next couple of days here each meeting is going to talk about how God can do that and how he can do it today today Enoch didn't die did he God just took him straight to heaven that's why he was so close to God that God was like I just don't want to wait anymore I want to bring him on now what if he did that to you do you think that's impossible he did it to Moses woke him up took him he did it to Elijah what we're going to be talking about today is spiritualism and we're going to open up with this because I grew up as a seventh day of his Christian and I thought spiritualism had to do with the state of the dead you know the dead know not anything that spiritualism but let me assure you there's much more there than just the state of the dead one of these days we're going to be like John the Baptist again we want to worry about all this technology blue jeans in the Bible and that's it we just listen to what the Lord has told us Satan has been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world the foundation for this work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden when he said you shall not surely die for him the day he eat thereof your eyes shall be open and you shall be as gods see what it says your eyes shall be opened in Eastern mysticism and the martial arts and Tai Chi and yoga and stuff you know what they call that enlightenment your eyes are open and you will be like gods he says you'll be as God's knowing both good and evil the word knowing there one of the definitions is to discern for yourself you won't need he was saying you won't need God telling you what's right and wrong you'll be able to make up your own mind does anybody near ever heard of a man named Aleister Crowley yes Wow see I knew I knew y'all been watching somebody Aleister Crowley said do what you will should be the whole of the law you don't need anybody to tell you what's right and wrong you can make that decision for yourself little by little Satan has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception what's going to be the last great deception that's going to take the whole world Satan appearing as Christ do you know what Ellen White said he not only will appear as God but he will do so first as a man Jesus was manifest in flesh first and every once in a while there was a couple times in the in the Gospels where it said his divinity flashed through humanity right Satan is going to try to counterfeit that God was in Christ reconciling the world Satan is going to possess a person to such an extent and then at one point he's going to flash his glory through human flesh and you know what the whole world will say it's a god they'll say this man has finally achieved what we all want to be as gods spiritualism has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs but it will be reached in the last remnant of time let me switch these batteries out for a second think will they be going you watching the bag boy that look what gets in place good you know what let's do something let's say prayer together because I know the enemy does not want this herd but greater is He that's with us than he that's within this world let's pray together y'all believe God's work yes he said he has given us power over all evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ let's claim that promise Father in heaven Abba daddy we come to you today in the name the mighty name of your son our Lord our Savior in our King Jesus Christ father you have promised that no weapon formed against us shall prosper father you have promised that greater is he that is in us than he that is in this world father we asked today that you will send holy angels that excel in strength binding cast out of this property every evil spirit and every evil influence that would seek to hinder your work and ministry in our lives father in the name of your son the Lord Jesus Christ we bind all the powers of darkness and any evil spirit that would seek to interfere with the proper working of all the electronics here at the camp idiot we thank you for hearing and for answering in Jesus name Amen all right let's give it another try it has never done that before have you got one we will do this manually well and we just want secondary because this obviously something is causing a problem while New Life and light and power are descending from on high upon the disciples of Christ a new life is springing up from beneath energizing the agencies of Satan intensity is taking possession of every earthly element with the subtlety gained through centuries of conflict the Prince of evil now works under a disguise he appears clothed as an angel of light and multitudes are giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrines of devils when I was a little boy I thought that witchcraft was like you know a wicked witch with a hat or somebody had a crystal ball you know that kind of stuff but do you know that spiritualism is now coming in to our lives through Hollywood through the music industry through books even in doctors offices not just young people's books I'm talking about older people books spiritualism is coming in through many different ways even in the sports arenas spiritualism is coming in back a few years ago they came out with this necklace I don't remember the name of it but it was supposed to be made out of this special metal and you could get it and put it around your neck and it was going to help boost your athletic ability and there were big-name baseball football tennis all kinds of stars that were using this necklace and they were saying I wasn't wearing it look what it did and then when I did put it on look how much improvement I had what they didn't realize is that's called a talisman in the occult it's a it's a piece of metal that they say is energized to help your body and they'll call it magnetic or whatever but when you call the people that manufactured it you say how did you energize it did you plug it into 12 volts or into the wall or into 110 and they'll say no it's not that kind of energy and I'm like well kind of energy is it well it's a different kind of energy like a vibrational energy and I would say well are you talking about like the kind of energy that they use in the martial arts or Tai Chi they say that's exactly what it is it's spiritual energy so what they do is they would take those necklaces and they would have people that believed in this energy that these Eastern mystics used they would have them lay hands on it and speak words over the necklace and then they'd hand all the necklaces out and they sell them for lots of money and does it work yes but is it of God no it's actually of the devil the devil can do miracles people say well you know acupuncture it works it's got to be good no just because it works doesn't mean it's of God did you find anything on it that's like I couldn't get it even to change that's what it was I've never had that video okay we think we figured it out as if this offensive I believe I had too many applications open on the computer at one time and it was really struggling to figure out which when I took this thing out it wouldn't thank you because I had so much there we go thank you thank you all for being so patient now I'm going to read a quote II and I know for those of you in here that are older probably than 12 for 14 you'll get this some of you may not have seen it before but there's something the servant of the Lord told us she said when products protestantism shall stretch her hand across the Gulf and grasp the hand of the Roman power when she shall reach over the abyss and clasp pants with spiritualism when under the influence of this threefold Union our country shall is that what it is okay shall make provision for the propagation of the papal delusions then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near sister white said that Protestantism is going to reach over the abyss and clasp pans with Romanism is that happening today yes that's right even our church and I'm not here to preach against our church but I mean we've had leaders in our church that are shaking hands with the leader of the UN and they're shaking hands with the leader of Rome but then she said with the other hand we're gonna grasp hands with spiritualism and for me I was like okay so how do you shake hands with the state of the dead I mean spiritualism if that's all it is how do you grab hands and hold hands with the state of the Dead I have not found one happiness church yet that believes that when you die you could straight to heaven or hell I was like Lord there has to be more here that we're missing spiritualism is represented by the dragon what's the number one power that's represented in any martial arts style the dragon anybody here ever done martial arts I'm not taking names the highest power is the dragon you ever went to eat at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant have you ever seen a dragon over the doorway do you know why that dragon is there because the owners believe that that power being over the door represents that that's who their wealth and the protection comes from for their business that's why the Lord had told us to write his law on our doorpost and on the door frames of our home his name is to be on our door let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come today of Christ's return except there come a falling away and an apostasy first and that man of sin be revealed as the son of the destroyer it says perdition in the Bible but it means the destroyer that man of sin is going to be unmasked right now it's he's hiding it's like he eat if the devil came out in your house and like announced himself you would know who he was or an evil spirit but if he got inside of somebody that you go to school with or a friend at work and they showed up at your house you wouldn't know that it was an evil spirit speaking to you until they manifest do you understand what I mean I had a lady a camp-meeting a number of years ago and she came up and she said after we went through a number of the presentations she came up and she said I want to ask you if you'd be willing to pray with me and my family I said what's wrong and she said it's my little boy I think he was four or five years old and she said I have always been told that a child can't have an evil spirit in them you know God would not allow that to happen she said that there's time as for my little boy we'll look at me and what I see in his eyes is not him now I want y'all to be careful I'm not saying everybody needs to run or ever be watching each other's eyes but I'm being serious this was a little boy and people in our church had told her you know if you're a Christian if your child is under 12 they can't have an evil spirit in all the Bible says otherwise there were children that had demons cast out of them Jesus had to cast them out sometimes the demons were there because of something that the parents had allowed to come into the home so if you have things in your home that give the devil the rights to be there they can torment you they can erase you and if you continue opening that door for them it can at times give them access to actually come into a person's life pastors deacons elders it doesn't make one bit of difference Judas worked with Jesus three and a half years right by a side and he had a demon living inside of him the whole time and jesus knew it Jesus even named what the demon was named it was called selfishness she think about that Judas lost heaven over selfishness it was living inside of him that means it was influencing his thoughts then the Apostle Paul goes on and he tells us remember ye not that when I was yet with you I told you these things but now you know he that is holding back so that he that man of sin might be revealed in this time for the mystery y'all tell me what that says of death already worked you know there's two mysteries in the Bible two great mysteries one that's called the mystery of iniquity and what's the other one called amen we're gonna have to let this young man flipper preach look up a promise for me it's first Timothy 3:16 says great is the mystery of godliness first Timothy 3:16 two mysteries two kingdoms that are battling can you read that for me okay you have to stand up though we grill real strong a men I want to focus on the first statement that the Apostle Paul was inspired to write great is the mystery of godliness sons and daughters of God God was manifest in the flesh he wants to be manifest in your flesh in mine Paul says that in 2nd Corinthians it says that the life of Christ might be manifest in your and my mortal flesh what happened in Jesus life was not a one-time event that's what God wants to do in every one of our lives I'm going to show you how I'm going to abbreviate this for time sake and I saw three angels hurried to and fro in heaven descending to the earth and ascending again preparing for the fulfillment of some important event I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth to unite his voice with the third angel and get power and force to his message this is what he cried Babylon the Great is fallen is fallen and she has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird when Jesus was baptized what was given to him by God the Holy Spirit and it was symbolized who said that by a dove the Holy Spirit is symbolized by a dove babylon says it's filled with every unclean spirit and every hate-filled bird spirits they're full of devils you have two kingdoms and you have two cities you have Jerusalem which is God's use the right hand and then you've got Babylon which is Satan's Jerusalem is God's people it's not just a place in the Middle East nor in heaven it's us we are New Jerusalem we are God's people Babylon is Satan's people it says Satan's people are filled they have become the habitation of devils and they are filled with every unclean and hateful bird and every foul spirit before Jesus returns every human being on the planet will be possessed by one of two powers they will be filled with the Spirit of the Living God or they will have evil spirits living inside them and I used to think growing up will evil spirits means you know you're cutting yourself and you're throwing up and your head goes around backwards and you've got tattoos all over your body Judas didn't have any of that and he was filled with an evil spirit that controlled his life the Bible says know ye not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you that doesn't say it will dwell in you God has already given that to you that's why he says don't grieve the Holy Spirit which is into you if any man or woman defiles the temple of God him shall God destroy for our God is a consuming fire God is so brilliant and beautiful have you ever out went out in the backyard or somebody's yard and you picked up a big rock and it was all kinds of creepy crawlies that went running did y'all ever done that do you all know what creepy crawlies are this is gonna be a long night y'all be too quiet do you all know what creepy crawlies are okay I believe you now why did they run when you pick the rock up they're afraid of you and they hate the light they hate the light God is light he says if I come in you and I'm living inside of you through my spirit and you start sinning sin can't exist in my presence it's not that God's up there and he goes I'm going to kill you if you do that again he's saying I want to live in you if you keep doing this thing that you're doing it will destroy you because I'm so holy now listen to this I want you to look this up on your own listen to this don't forget this don't forget this and guys on the back row don't forget this from eternal ages it was God's purpose that every created being how many that means you nice every created being from the bright and holy cereth which was angels to man should be a temple for the indwelling of the creator that was God's purpose he wanted to live every single angel in heaven right now God has his spirit inside of them that's how he lives inside of them so they might be on a mission like they're down here to help one of us and all of a sudden they're like I'm gonna go over it today they hear this still small voice cos now go to the left he's gonna be over there anything yes sir and they go Satan said I don't want to hear your still small voice I'm a big boy I can do it on my own I don't need your help and he tells us the same thing God purpose that every created being should be an indwelling for the creator but because of sin humanity ceased to be a temple for God what was that him and Eve what were they wearing in the Garden of Eden before they send light I used to think and I know this is silly but I used to think God had these robes that were made out of light he kind of wrapped them around them after I read this for the first time I began to understand God was in them that's why they were glowing it wasn't something you wrap on from the outside he was inside of them and that made him glow what happened to Moses when he was up on Mount Sinai and he came back down he was glowing you what they said put a veil over your face we can't even look at you that was a symbol of what God was wanting to do he said I want to be close to y'all but I've got a veil myself in flesh so that I can be that close so he came in Jesus Adam and Eve had light shining out of them the moment they sinned the light went out God says I'm gonna restore that light again Daniel chapter 12 you know what it says at that time the great time of trouble Michael Christ will stand up and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was and then it says something beautiful and those that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the brightness of the stars amen that's literal that'sthat's not poetic language God says you're gonna look like Adam and Eve did you're gonna look like Steven did they were ready to stone him it says his face looked like the face of an angel did Meany look soft and cuddly he was glowing when an angel showed up in the Bible people fell like dead men darkened and defiled by evil the heart of man no longer revealed the glory of the divine one for out of the heart are the issues of life know ye not that to whom you yield yourself as servants to obey his servants you are to whom you obey whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness and life what's another name for Jesus he is the blank of God son of God what else Lamb of God Word of God for Jesus to dwell inside of you his words have to dwell inside of you so if Jesus tells me here you've had enough to eat I don't want you to go back for a second place I go I'm just gonna pretend like I didn't hear that I go back and eat sometimes my daughter and my son would do that you know when they were little and be be right down this stairs and living room and I would yell at the top of my voice and they would act like they couldn't hear me and I have to go upstairs I've got guys I know you hurt me think about that for a minute God dwells inside of us through his word Jesus even says that he said the words I'm speaking unto you their spirit in their life and it's not me that's speaking them it's my father that dwells in me can't wrap my head around that we don't have to understand it but we do have to believe it and take hold of it so when he tells you you say okay I'm gonna go that way I remember a number of years ago I heard a man he was talking about hearing God's voice literally he was sharing this message and he said you know God spoke to me in and this is what he said and a man came up to him afterward he said I need you to pray for me I want what you have and he said what do you mean he said I've never heard God talk to me and the man said yes you have and the other man Yool from the congregation said no I've never heard God talked to me like you described he said let me ask you a question he said you remember the last time he went to the grocery store the man said of course he said do you remember when he got up to the checkout aisle with all your groceries he said yes he said do you remember looking over to the side and seeing all those magazines on the side y'all know the ones I'm talking about the man said yes he said do you remember hearing that voice that said don't look at him he said you have heard God talk to you he said every time you choose to listen and trust him and follow him his voice will get clear until the day will come when you will hear him talking to you just like you hear me talking to you right now it'll be that clear that's what happened to Enoch today the mysteries of heathen worship are replaced by secret societies clairvoyance and seances spiritualistic mediums and sorcerers of our time the disclosures or the words of these mediums are eagerly received by thousands who refuse to accept light from God's Word or through his spirit believers and spiritualism may laugh with scorn at the magician's of old but the great deceiver Satan laughs and triumphs as they yield to his arts under a different form in the old days there was something to Ellen White wrote about called the Fox sisters if y'all ever heard that term before I used to get these my mom would open up these little red books and read to me and I was like you know that's just some old lady who lived way back when and those little book me you know I was a young boy I didn't know and then I got a line here when I was older and I looked up the Fox sisters do you know there were Protestant preachers all over America of all denominations that were warning their congregations of spiritualism and what was happening with the Fox sisters look when they were alive 1814 to 1890 you understand why Ellen White was writing about them the Ouija board how many people in here have ever heard of a Ouija board before yeah the man that developed that his name was Elijah bond and he developed it and put it on the market July 1st 1890 it that funny 1890 1890 1888 was when the message of righteousness by faith was given that wage aboard you used to be able to go in any Walmart in the United States and by it's witchcraft it is a way to channel evil spirits my mom picked one up when she was in an Adventist Academy a couple of the girls there and this was years ago somebody had won and they decided they wanted to play some games and see what it was like and what happened terrified them and terrified them this woman on the right this is madam HP Lebowski she's the founder of the Theosophical society she was one of the most prominent new-age occult leaders in Ellen White's day she lived from 1831 to 1891 every occultist in the world now bases their teachings on her books all of that was taking place at the same time God was raising us up and the message of righteousness by faith now I talked to you about spiritualism in spiritism those two words Ellen White uses almost interchangeably spiritism is the study of how to communicate with spirit entities it was introduced into the West like Europe and America by Allan Kardec who lived from 1804 to 1869 it didn't funny how all these things happened at that same time that the Adventist faith was being brought up the word spiritualism is the practice of communicating with the dead usually through the use of a what's those words or a medium that's where you get the word media media is the root word for medium a medium is somebody who's allows evil spirits to speak through them it's a go-between like a mediator the devil or an evil spirit wants to say something but he knows he can't say something outright looking the way they look because we would get on our knees so he says you know what I'll speak through a snake or I'll speak through your best friend or I'll speak through Harry Potter books or I'll speak through this music you ever think about that when you go into like a big city or a bigger city you go to McDonald's you go to Walmart you go to parks milk you go to anywhere you're listening to the devil's words that play his music non-stop 24 hours a day everywhere in this country instead of us hearing God's Word every day Satan is doing everything he can to drown out that subtle whisper it also says it could be through the use of a channel you ever had to change the channel on the television in that funny that they use those words media and channel and they use those words after this was established there are few who have any just conception of the deceptive power of spiritualism and the danger of coming under its influence they have no real faith in it and they would be filled with horror at the thought of yielding themselves to the spirits control but they venture upon forbidden ground star wars how many people have seen Star Wars and I'm not going to take names nobody's gonna fuss at you okay I can remember that was the first movie I think my dad had ever taken me to see we were seventh-day Adventist didn't go to movies and my dad said you know it's a space movie what can be the harm in that and then I went to saw the second one the third one and then the next three and then you know there was something in Star Wars that they used to say to one another whenever they would part ways they would say maybe or be with you made the force be with you do you know what a counterfeit that is Christians say may God be with you may the Lord bless and keep you they say may the force be with you this week we'll have some DVDs which will go into more depth on Star Wars but George Lucas talks about what that force was and where it got it from he got the idea from Eastern mysticism specifically Japanese in Chinese martial arts but that force says that there's light and darkness the Jedi are the good guys or bad guys everybody's being a cautious now they're like I know they're taking names the Jedi are said to be the good guys who's the bad guy said to be the synth you know what but they both claim to get their power from the same source or force they just say it's how you use it that makes it good or evil it's kind of funny because even though us older generation we say I was never into Star Wars did you ever watch The Wizard of Oz good witch bad witch bad witch was ugly she was green she had long nose probably smelled bad good witch was pretty she had pink gowns white fair skin blond hair they're both witches I mean they're witches they're working for the devil doesn't matter how good she looks do you understand you can't have good witchcraft you can't have you know you can't blend the two the next video there is Twilight in that funny that that's the cover they put on that book a woman with an apple inviting you to take a bite out of it where we heard a story like that before Adam and Eve Harry Potter that right there is over-the-top I mean it's like sometimes I think we shouldn't even have to tell people that it's bad if it's about witchcraft it's bad if it's Mickey Mouse and he's being a wizard he's doing magic it's bad even though it's painted up in a different face it's still opening the door for evil spirits to have access to a person's life this one is interesting Narnia on the right and then the Hobbit there on the end who was the Hobbit written by junior Tolkien and Narnia Chronicles of Narnia was by CS Lewis you can go to almost got be careful almost any Adventist book center ABC store and buy CS Lewis's books you know what they say well he wrote some good stuff yeah but he blended it with a whole bunch of evil stuff and if you do research on it which we've got research on our website on our YouTube junior Tolkien and CS Lewis were best friends and they both were members of a secret society called the Golden Dawn Society CS Lewis was Roman Catholic or Tolkien I'm forgiving it may have been Tolkien one of them was Roman Catholic which doesn't make them evil but they took they took the Bible and they tried to blend it with paganism and they said we can make it more acceptable which is exactly what wrong did you know from the very beginning now here's something that I heard pastor David Gates talk about and he was quoting this in a sermon that he was sharing and when I heard him I'm real I like David Gates but I couldn't believe him I was like that can't really say that listen to what he read this is from sister white as we near the close of time there will be a greater and still greater external parade external what does that mean outside you can see it it's not inside behind closed doors it's outside in your face there will be a greater external parade of heathen power heathen deities that means pagan gods fallen angels will manifest their signal power and exhibit themselves before the cities of the world I was like wow one day fallen angels are going to visibly appear and we're going to be able to see them and then I read the next sentence and this delineation has already begun to be fulfilled and I was like now wait a minute I don't know of anybody that's running around the world right now telling people hey there's demons over here they're putting on a parade and then I kept reading all need wisdom carefully to search out thee I'm losing you again remember three hours help me what's the same that figure so largely in the winding up of this Earth's history all need wisdom to carefully search out the mystery of iniquity what was the mystery of godliness God manifests in the flesh so what's the mystery of iniquity sanctum manifest in the flesh and that can be Satan or any of his evil angels that's the mystery of iniquity I don't like this picture this was me when I made my first black belt years and years ago 1999 it took 14 years in the style that I was in to make black belt 14 years the only way that you could make another rank was to beat everybody that was your race not at the same time but like if I was a white belt to make green I had to be able to defeat all the other white belts at any time I was asked to go from green to brown you had to be able to beat all the other green belts at any given time and you had to do it consistently what bothers me when I look at that is when I see the eyes because the eyes are the windows of the soul and when I look at what was there been vs. now I'm like I thank God for what he did to get me out of there now I want to tell y'all something some people say well you just you give up martial arts we're giving up more swords is not like giving up eating pie there is a spiritual force that doesn't want it's not you coming out of martial arts it has to be taken out of you it's just like people say well I gave up you know boxing well did you give up the spirit of violence the spirit of competition the spirit of revenge of the spirit of pride that was the one thing above everything else that I noticed in the martial arts and other sports even if the sports was not like martial arts if it wasn't the occult does it develop a spirit of pride because if it develops pride that's the one thing above every other that God has to get out of us so that he can take us to heaven so why would I build those things that have to be gotten out this was the second Grand Master that I trained under I trained under him for eight or nine years he was a tenth dawn or tenth degree in two systems have come food and that's unheard of because getting a tenth degree is a lifetime and that only happens to one in 10,000 people in the world to get a tenth degree attempt on her Grand Master it's one in every 10,000 people in the world make that ring he had to over if we take time I may have to just run over on you pick up more tomorrow because I've got to share this with you when I was in the martial arts when I started in it my mom and dad had gotten divorced and I wanted to do it because I wanted something that would help me have confidence in myself I didn't like being nervous about the other guys at school except with the public school I wanted confidence I wanted to be able to control my circumstances instead of my circumstances controlling me and when I started in martial arts which we'll talk about more this evening it was physical you know punch like this you block like this you know you kicked this way we did lots of push-ups and lots of running crazy stuff you know we used to go run this one guy that was like a trainer for me he was like a green belt he would take us and run nine miles on a mountain before the martial arts class we'd meet him like five o'clock in the afternoon go running for a couple of hours then come down and go to class well then we'd have to do push-ups and we'd get where we were doing you know 300 push-ups in a row and we did them on her knuckles so you had to you know without stopping you could hold in an up position but you couldn't drop at the floor and you know we did that but after you do that for six years years eight years ten years and I would look at the Grandmaster and I still couldn't do the things that he can do I was like there's got to be more than just push-ups there's got to be more than just running to be the best to be able to do what you're doing and he told me the first Grandmaster he said Eric he said if you want what I've got you've got to be a disciple which is like a fifth-degree he said you've got to train internally you've got to learn how to channel this energy that they call Qi or the Japanese called key like in Aikido yoga calls it prana he said you have to be able to use that energy to do the things that you want to be able to do so I began training with him and I remember everybody that that was there I was the fifth person that made black belt in that kung-fu style in 35 years the fifth person we had a couple of other people that were close to black and then we had nothing to other the four training that were black belts and each person when they started training in this energy they would manifest that energy or that energy would be manifest in them in different ways one of the guys there he would take his palm and he could break coconuts I mean he would just lay it on a table and go smack and a coconuts harder than the human skull he could smack it and crush it and if he could do that to a coconut he can do that to the human skull easily one of the other guys could use the energy for something completely different you know the first Grandmaster I trained under he had unbelievable speed and that was what I wanted I mean he could throw a punch almost 80 90 miles an hour I mean it was it was lightning fast and I said I wanted that but then as I kept training there were other ways I could find that I could quote use this power see I thought I was using it but it wasn't me using it it was using me the devil made me and all the other martial artists think that it was us doing it it wasn't us doing it it was them but they have to do that to keep you going forward and anyway I was training in this and I was learning how to use this energy in different ways and I found one day that I can make myself heavier and we used to train on doing that like right now I'll weigh about 170 but I would get in the stance like this and you would sit here and you wouldn't meditate this is called tree hugging for those that don't do martial arts but you had meditate this way and you would you would imagine that you were getting heavier like you were growing roots down into the ground and I would get to the point where I could do that and I can have somebody that weighed 240 pounds and they could come up and push on me any direction and couldn't push me over and I was like man that's cool you can't do that physically commands impossible but then one day by accident I was there training with some guys and I was on the floor and I was teaching them and I asked one of the guys to pick me up and this thought popped into my head make yourself heavier don't let him pick you up so this big guy is a black belt at 200 and I think he's 270 280 he comes over he grabs my hand and goes to pick me up and it pulls him back down and I was like oh that wasn't now I was thinking this I was like that was cool so I told him the other black belt I said you come over and both of you grab my arm so I was laying on my back and you can't grab the floor with your bottom I mean do you understand I was laying on my back on the floor of our school and I raised my hand up and these two guys one of them's 270 or 80 pounds the other guy's about 215 they both come over and they start pulling and they can't buncher me they couldn't even make me slide and I was like got that that's another one and then it was like after that it just started becoming easier to manifest this energy in all kinds of different ways but I didn't realize it wasn't me that was doing it it was the devil and the evil spirits that I had allowed to come into me that were causing that ability then I met this man and this man I would stand there and I would get into my stance and I would make myself heavier where I couldn't be moved and he would stand from here to the wall over there the temp wall he would stand over there and he'd take his hand and go like that and knocked me completely off my feet without touching me when he would take his hand and put it up I would feel it felt like electricity or like two magnets you know when you take magnets and you push them together and they push back do you know what I'm talking about that's what it felt like I physically would feel something on my shoulder and it would just shove me like I was a rag doll I couldn't stop him from bunching me and I was like I gotta train with him that guy can do some unbelievable stuff because he can do that without touching me I was like man this would make fighting so easy if you just you know point your finger and it's done it's demonic but they showed that the Star Wars why do you think George Lucas is teaching witchcraft to young people and old I'm not going to just pick on the young people because most of people's our Star Wars fans or 35 in have so anyway one one night I think there's two parts I want to tell you this let me see which one would be best first one day I went to visit him I went to visit him and I was doing private lessons with him so I would come to the school there wouldn't be anybody there except me and him and while we were there he was getting ready to train me and what they call shaolin ki gong it's energy world and we're sitting there getting ready for this you know class and one of the other young black belts comes running into the room and he's got this big piece of artwork wrapped in brown paper bag with a field cord around it I knew it was artwork cause you tell it looks like a framed picture or something and he said see Jo Grand Master it's ready they finished it and he nodded his head at the young man which meant you can leave and the guy took off and he went over and he unwrapped it and there was this beautiful piece of Chinese calligraphy that he had had a Chinese calligrapher he had paid them to have made for him and I didn't know how to read that I mean I knew what a couple of symbols were but I had no idea what it was but it was beautiful I mean the the brushwork was gorgeous now I just looked at it and I looked up at him and I knew he knew what I was thinking and I knew he knew what I was thinking and I said what does it say what does it mean and he looked down at the floor and then he looked back up at him and this is what he said he said in English the easiest way to translate this would be it's the devil that's in the details this man had been in Morris orange for almost 15 years he was a grandmaster and two systems of kungfu chinese kungfu he could do unbelievable things and it's like Here I am seventh-day Adventist Christian even though I was walking away from the Lord and the alarm bells were going off I mean it was like I should have run he flat-out told me that and you know what I did I heard this other voice say doesn't mean that to me maybe that's what he thinks but it doesn't mean that to me they've heard that voice before I've had people tell me with her practicing yoga well they're praying to a Hindu God but I'm praying to Jesus while I'm worshiping the Hindu god and I'm like guys you can't do that that still small voice that speaks to you is the Lord speaking to you seyton normally when the devil or a fallen angel talk to you they talk to us in our voice because if I heard an evil spirit say Eric do this I'd be like I got to get on my knees get my Bible out I'd be afraid but if he whispers in my ear in my voice I think it's my thoughts and I don't pray I used to come home from from work sometimes and it'd be like I'd had a bad day at work and maybe my wife had had a bad day and you know I walk in the door and she'd say the wrong thing and I would hear my voice go I mean this is never gonna end I hate coming home and I thought it was my thoughts they wasn't my thoughts that was the devil whispering to me so that's why we have to bring every thought into captivity to Christ Lord is this your thoughts do you feel this play about my wife do you feel this way about my boss even if they did something wrong to me do you feel this way about this guy what I think I just want to be judged did you ever think maybe he's got a dad at home that's drinking or maybe he's got a mother that left him did you ever think that maybe he gets abused at home that's why he's so angry do you know if you pray for them it can change instantly tell you one more story about him tell me how much time we've got because I what time do we have to stop okay if you all need to go you can go I won't be offended but if not I'll stay as long as you all okay okay the other thing that happened that really should have gotten my attention I went to train with him one weekend he only would teach black belts it didn't matter what style you're in he didn't care and I never understood that back then but I did you know after I'd been with him for a while didn't matter what style you were in he'd never done taekwondo but a black belt would come in that was a six degree black belt in Taekwondo and they'd say would you teach me he'd say sure he'd show them how to do what they did better and how to put Chi into it didn't even know Taekwondo but he knew how to use energy which is evil spirits and a bunch of us went down a bunch of different black belts went to train at this man's house where his school was and when we got there he worked us out hard all day I mean physical training all day long there was probably six or eight of us and finally when the Sun starts going down everybody is just physically exhausted and we're all ready to go home and I had a six hour drive to get back to where I live and he said you know what how would you guys like hanging out tonight we could get a pizza maybe watch a movie or something this is a Grand Master that would be like if you worked at Microsoft and the president and the company today was going to come over for dinner you don't say no if you want to make rank and you tell the Grandmaster no I'm kind of busy tonight really so everybody's like yeah we would love to plus you always hope that when you got the Grand Master in that kind of a situation he'd open up and spill the beans about something he'd let some little secret out and you know intentionally and that's what everybody wanted so we all are like yeah we'd love to so we can you know get pizza we sit down we're watching television and we're talking about just blah blah blah and it's getting later so finally it's like you know ten o'clock and everybody's getting really tired and then he starts talking about conspiracy theories like the Illuminati and Hollywood stuff in Freemasonry and the occult and and everybody else in the room was like you can see them I'm gonna do this just he said they were like that they could care less about conspiracies whether they're true or not they were all like oh I just want to go home I wish she would quit talking but you couldn't get up you can't go home until he dismisses everybody because that's just not good protocol so they're all sitting there exhausted and they're asleep even though their eyes are open well when he started talking about conspiracy theories I woke up because you know seventh-day Adventist I'm like I want to know what's going on so I got excited and I knew about stuff well he talks until like 12:00 12:30 I mean it was late and then right in the middle when everybody is absolutely gone he changes the subject it was like he threw it into reverse she's talking about all this just craziness and then he says oh yeah by the way if you want to know about Chi energy he said look at Jimi Hendrix look at Eric Clapton look at a lot of the musicians and the actors that we have in Hollywood they are using the same energy that we do as parcel artists and I was just like what I mean I didn't say that you can't say that he just have to sit there but inside my head I was going Jimi Hendrix didn't do kungfu Eric Clapton doesn't know martial arts for BJJ how do they use this I've been training for years to get this how can they do it he said it's the same thing and I asked him afterward I said help me to understand he said to a beginner we tell them that she is inner strength it's that drive to go forward he said to a medium level like an initiate we tell them that she is power and breath that's why you breathe deep you know like when you're sitting in lotus position and you're breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth it's all there to get you into an altered state of consciousness but he said that's what we do we tell them that she is that breath that internal power he said but to a disciple or a master we reveal she is spirit it's the devil that's in the details now I'm gonna go a little bit farther see if I know that that man is I can't hear you Michael Landon I know the young guys are going I have no idea who Michael Landon is y'all ever heard of that movie called or show called Little House on the Prairie good family Christian film like my parents we could watch Walt Disney and Little House on the Prairie that was it I mean that was the whole thing that was all of our television when I grew up that's saved it's Christian this is written from Michael Landon his daughter in one of her books on memoirs on her father listen to what Michael Landon said I felt my father's presence with me enlightening my memories helping me to commit to my to paper the feelings I had I really heard my father speaking to me from the other dimension filling my mind with just the right words the story came so fast it was so right in three days the script was complete he would sit down his daughter said whenever they couldn't get a show and heat there was another show he did after that years later I don't remember the name of it touched by an angel or something it was something similar to that but when they couldn't where they were having problems with the script Michael would go him home he would go in his room and lock the door his daughter said he'd stay up all night talking and in the morning to come out with the entire script pleaded sometimes overnight that's impossible you cannot write an entire script for a movie overnight he did it his father had died years before but he said it was his father that was speaking to him and giving him the words to write down a spiritualism if I know who this lady is I know it's difficult to see but that's Oprah Winfrey listen to what she says a lot of people say yeah but she's a Christian I've heard her talk about God but what god there's lots of God's you know they say In God We Trust on our dollar bill but look at the symbol that's on there is that the same God who's the father of Jesus Christ and our Savior listen to what she said I asked God for grace the word Grace has two meanings the first meaning is the divine influence upon the heart and it's reflection as seen in the life the second meaning is unmerited favor she said I asked God for grace and for the power of the spirits plural calling on you calling on you I really believe I can call her that spirit up her and so many others Oprah Winfrey calls these her go there moments spiritual episodes of divine guidance that far transcend the chatty exchanges with her studio audiences Winfrey says that she has come to know each of them personally and calls them in at will to guide her in her work when she played the movie the color purple they interviewed her and she said the only way I can act that part was I invoked the spirits and I asked the spirits of those slaves who I was portraying to come into me and play the part and that's why she did such a great job you guys know this guy Robin Williams I hate what happened to him the devil took his life he killed himself because he couldn't quiet the whispers that were happening they didn't know what it was listen to what he said he says yeah literally it's like possession he's talking about when he was on stage as a stand-up comedian you think stand-up comic is okay he said it's like possession all of a sudden you're in and because it's in front of a live audience you just get this energy that just starts going but there's also that thing it is possession in the old days you'd be burned for it but there's something empowering about it I mean it's a place where you are totally it is dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde where you really can become this other force they definitely use that word maybe that's why I don't need to play evil characters and movies because sometimes on stage you can cross that line and still come back he said that's how I did my comedian and you can also look at who his his mentor was it was Jonathan winters that's an old old comedian and after that's who Robin Williams learned how to do this from how to tap into spirits to help with the acne I want to show these clips but I'm gonna have to wait to what we can do them when it's nighttime because you'll never be able to see them during the daytime I've got a clip here from Denzel Washington they interviewed him on 60 minutes and the interviewer for 60 minutes was talking about one of the the films that Denzel had done recently it was a film like during the Civil War and Denzel was I thinking I haven't seen the movie but I think he was like a slave but he asked him how did you play that part because it was pushed to be one of Denzel Washington's the best acting performances and Denzel said well I went into a room and I got down on my knees and I asked the spirits to come into me he said I could never have acted that possible they came into me and they did acting this is a quote from Ellen White this is years ago this was in 1882 she said many placed themselves on enchanted ground what does enchanted means enchanted ground means it's ground that has either got a curse or it has witchcraft or magic involved in it she says many place themselves on enchanted ground by frequenting scenes of amusement were fallen spirits congregate professing christian' when you resort to the theater remember that Satan is there conducting the play as the master accurate we don't have to go to the movie theater anymore we've got DVDs and VHS Satan has made it so that we can bring the theater right into our own home I'm going to tell you a short story here when my little boy was probably he's not little anymore he's taller that mean to help it he was probably ten nine or ten right around that age my wife and I had just gotten back together the Lord had it brought our marriage back together and we were still battling some spiritual battles and that morning that Sunday morning when we woke up I told my wife I said why don't we get the children and let's just the four of us pray together and ask the Lord if there's anything that we have in our lives or in our house that is giving the enemy the right to be here and my wife said okay and the children said okay so my wife and I prayed and it's Sierra and caught her preyed on their own and they were genuine because they knew what had happened to me and the miracle that God had to do to get me free and they prayed and they were like Father in heaven if there's anything in our lives in our home in our room anything you show us well my wife took the children and went you out for the day I was sitting there working and now I was working on getting the website for our ministry started it was 2008 and they came back later that afternoon probably four or five o'clock and my son just like door opened my wife came in my daughter started in and my son goes through mine run him right by my daughter up the steps he sounded like a hurricane and I was like what is he doing it my wife is like I don't know what's wrong with him if she went into the kitchen ten minutes later my son comes downstairs carrying this huge cardboard box full of something that you could hear clanking around and I was like what did you got he said you remember this morning daddy he said we prayed to God and asked him if there was anything that we had in our house that was giving Satan the right to be here to show us he said God told me what it was I said what's in the box I looked in the box the whole box was full of Legos y'all know what Legos are I love Legos I still love Legos don't tell anybody and don't put that on YouTube I love Legos I could build with him all day long but they're expensive toys Legos are expensive in it you'll know I'm talking about they're expensive and my wife she heard that as soon as I said Legos and she knew how much money and she came walked in there with her hands on her head she was like what as she knew me she thinks I'm a little bit you know men men are kind of like gung ho sometimes so she was like we are not throwing those out I said honey just give me a minute let me talk to Connor I said all I'll talk with you before we do anything I said Karim what makes you think that God told him he said Jesus told me to get rid of him he said I don't know why but Jesus told me he's that I know this is woody don't leave and I'm sitting there and I'm thinking in my heart I was like he's little you know God probably didn't say anything to him I said you know what I said let's do something I got an idea we got the Internet we got Google let's get on Google and let's look up you have Legos have different stories like you got Legos for this movie or for that ledger but these Legos that he was throwing away every one but I'll look through there were from a series called Bionicles they're like these robot kind of you know I'm talking about I was like let's look him up I'll type in Lego ball chuckles oh wow every one of the characters names in that entire series is named after one of the Polynesian pagan gods every one of them and over 70% of the gods were known to be gods of rebellion my son had been battling with rebellion for almost a year and if people could say it's terrible threes or twos or oh it's not Jesus didn't that can't wait we knew this was not our son's character and he prayed that morning show me if there's anything and God showed him and Conner did Connor went like I don't want to give up that food I don't want to give up the caffeine I don't want to give up my rock and roll music or my Christian hip-hop or whatever Conner was like Jesus told me let's throw him out and I looked at and I was like I call from my wife I said honey I said you need come in here look at this for a minute I showed her and she just stepped back if she put her hand over her mouth and she was like oh my we had brought these things into our home named after pagan gods I looked at my son I said Conner I said your decision it's a lot of money as it's your decision I said you do with him what you want he said I know what I'm doing with him they walked out the door dump the whole box into the dumpster dumpster I mean you can't climb back in and get it out because there's a nasty stuff in the bottom on the dumpster he threw it all away on a blink of an eye walk right back in as happy as happy can be I thought man I wish we can do that Ellen wife said we need to be careful that listen to what Aleister Crowley said he said there are three methods for invoking the deity that means a God three ways to invoke that means two to yell at them and get their attention to get them to come to you the third method is the dramatic that means drama and acting perhaps is the most attractive of all certainly it is to the artists temperament for it appeals to the artists imagination through their aesthetic sense it is very difficult for the ordinary man to lose themselves completely in the subject of a movie or a play but for those who can do so this is unquestionably the best that's the wickedest man in the world that was what he was known to be and he said if you want to get a hold of an evil spirit or a fallen angel this is the easiest way to do drama and acting drama and act do you know why because if make it to help me from that now let's say let's say that he really wants to meet me I mean he really wants to meet me he's like you know I saw that guy that bald guy I want to go up and talk to him and so he comes over and he's like real excited we're getting like you're excited yeah and he's really excited about he's like I want to shake his hand he reaches out to shake my hand and I go it's home you know I don't want it I don't feel like I want to shake your hand do I have you ever hugged somebody and you knew they didn't want to hug you and yet thank you I mean do you know what I'm talking about you go to hug somebody and they they put their arms around you and it's kind of like it's like hugging this pole there's no they don't want to hug you it's like shaking hands and it's like it's either cold and stiff or it's just dead and you're like you can feel that if you try to a part everybody will see it that's what's the difference between an hae movie and a B movie you know what I'm do I have you ever seen one of those movies you go us is a B the actors are not that good they're not good because they're trying to act that part the people in Hollywood that make the money they don't act their parts they do something called method acting and method acting means you channel a spirit in the spirit you become the part and many of the actors they say they don't come out of that part until after the film is done they actually say I'm gonna be this person for twelve months or two years while I'm doing this film I have to become that in the martial arts we did the same thing we had different animal styles and Bill ever heard of that like Tiger style you know we would you know what Uyghur style would be like that or if you were a snake style you you know move this way or if you were an Eagle style you wouldn't you you would move and act like it was so funny because after I've been doing it for 14 or 20 years i watch beginners trying to act like a tiger and they didn't get it the first Grand Master told me you know when I was going for you know brown belt he was like you can't act anymore you can't act like a tiger he said you got to become the animal you have to become it he said when you become it your opponent will think that's what you are and he was right the bad thing was is I tried so hard to become it that once I did I couldn't get back happened because it wasn't me getting out it was the demon had to be taken out of me even in South America and the jungles Africa the jungles they channel spirit animal spirits to come into them when they go to war if you take the spirit of the Jaguar North American Indians used to do it they have you know the Bulls hair or they'd have the Bulls head with the horns or they'd have the Eagles feathers or all of that was because they were saying this is the spirit of the animal that I want to make possession of me when I go to battle Keanu Reeves if I ever heard of him well-known actor listen to what he said in an interview with actor Keanu Reeves he was asked about how he deals with his inner demons obviously Hollywood knows and they asked him he laughed and said they always win how do you battle your inner demons people go oh it's just a phrase no it's not they know what they're talking about he said they always win I don't know how to deal with them they always win he said it's hard to act in the morning when the muses are asleep and I thought a muse I've heard that before in mythology Kevin Bacon how many people in here have ever heard of him he's a a well known actor but not done anything in a long time praise the Lord listen to what he said part of acting is to lose yourself in the moment to let the chaos or the muse come and just enter and happen organically the demons under the surface as an actor you have to keep them bubbling that I mean that's an actor that's not Ozzy Osbourne or you know kiss that's a regular actor listen to what Socrates said the Greek philosopher he said I like the manner of the muse first of all to inspire men herself because they are inspired and possessed they are simply inspired to utter that which the muse impels them for it is not by art nor by knowledge do you say which you say but by possession that was Socrates 400 years before Jesus and the actors were doing the same thing that he was talking about today how about this lady Sandra Bullock now she's a nice girl right the snow as she said it's almost like my science no my conscience and my devil all in one eye almost it's almost like I can read minds at this point instinct or intuition or six cents that's our gift as actors that's Sandra Bullock and and there's more there's hundreds of them that are open about it that she said it's either my conscience or my devil all in one I wouldn't want my conscience to be the devil no that's right I'm not going to do this one because the clips I'm just gonna have to skip because it's too bright this was Christian Bale just happened I think this past year it was at one of the Grammys or one of the the big award ceremonies and he got out in front of everybody and he laughed and the audience laughed but he wasn't joking he said you know first off I want to thank my wife and I want to thank this producer and I want to thank this director and he said most of all I want to thank Satan said that and then the whole audience laughed and he grinned but he didn't take it back and say I'm just joking nobody would say that and just be joking but he said that I want to thank Satan in front of the whole world Nicholas Cage we invite here another Nicolas Cage not to spend a bunch of time on this he did a film called hold on me think for a second the guy on the motorcycle with flames what was the purpose ghostrider he had to play that part he said I wanted to play it the best he said so we went to the Amazon jungle and he said I found a tribe down there that had a shaman that's a witch doctor he said I asked them if I could stay I had to ask for permission from the shaman and you know the shaman is not gonna let it stay down there unless Nicholas Cage is already over that side of the line he said so the shaman allowed me to stay there with him and he showed me how they do what they do shamanism witchcraft he said I asked him to let me bring back some of the things that they had there in the jungle to keep here in my house my wife and I are happily married I wouldn't trade her for the world if I still had a little black book somewhere in my room in a closet or under the bed or in my desk drawer and there was a photograph of some girl I dated when I was in college there and that girl showed up on the porch tomorrow night when I got home and my wife goes honey we've been married 26 years what are you doing here she'd say I've got every right to be here your husband's got a picture and my phone number and all our old emails and text messages and in this in his bedroom I've got every right to be here he has given me the right to be here that's what Satan does you say I'm a Christian but I've got the devil stuff in my house you opened the door and allow them to come in not necessarily to take possession of you but to come into your life to cause problems to cause torment to cause sickness Nicholas Cage went back to do this part and he wore the the paint on his face they said almost 24 hours a day he did not want to come out of the park because he was brainy wouldn't be able to get that spirit back into him I had something from Beyonce but I'm gonna skip that let's get to the good part God designed that the temple at Jerusalem should be a continual witness to the high destiny open to every soul and I'm going to share this and I'm gonna do this I'm gonna be careful because I don't want to rock the boat too much we as seventh-day Adventist actuary write but do you know what I think there's more light in the sanctuary that God wants us to see and Ellen White said the same thing she said God designed that the temple at Jerusalem should be a continual witness to the high destiny open to every soul the one in Jerusalem was also just a refurbished better made kappa not counterfeit but likeness of the sanctuary that Moses did it wasn't the thing itself it was a shadow of what we're supposed to be it was to be a continual witness to the high destiny open to every soul the sanctuary was not supposed to have blood in it you remember God saying that he said why do you keep bringing me blood do you think I eat blood blood was shed because you had sinned God was like who told you to keep sinning I said I'll give you victory over sin why don't you just believe me and walk in it people say what can't be that easy let me tell you it is that easy the dark side knows how to do that I used to have I used to have people that would be 2025 years old thirty years old that we're training under me and we did full contacting in the phoo that meant you had to start off with twelve or fourteen ounce boxing gloves and after you got your brown belt it was bare-knuckle and I would get in there with a white belt and they would get like I would just know him and they would hit the ground I mean temporary knockout when you get knocked out you don't want to fight anymore I mean trust me you don't want to fight anymore I got knocked out so many times it was unreal when I was young you just feel like I just want to go home you know I don't care I lost there's no go home just get me out the ring but then crying inside of you says you can't do that and then your coach would come over I'd go over to him I'd say it's not over get back up you can win this fight if that young man would would believe what I was telling him he could get up when to fight even though he'd been knocked down how much greater is God's Word but the Jews had not understood the significance of the building that regarded with so much pride they did not yield themselves as holy temples for the divine spirit that was a picture of what we're supposed to look like do you remember when Jesus and the disciples had first come and met him and they went and they got Nathanael and they said Nathaniel we have found the Messiah and Nathaniel was like really worthy from he's from Nazareth and Nathaniel was like I think really guys nothing good comes out of Nazareth and if I'm wrong it's if it's not the Daniel someone let me know I think it was a valuable but then they brought him to Jesus they said come and see for yourself and when they got there Jesus told him is that this is an Israelite indeed he said I was watching you before you got here when you were praying under that fig tree and you know what Nathaniel said he said my Lord and my god and Jesus said you believe that I'm God and King Lord because I told you that he said you're gonna see greater things than this here actor you're gonna see the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man do you know what was in the sanctuary every one of the curtains that were in there had thousands of cherubim ascending and descending on every curve that was a picture that's the angels that come to you when you're battling with temptation when your husband or your your wife or whoever is wanting to fight or they're having a bad day or your boss or that guy at school those angels are ascending and descending instantly if you'll call on them and believe they're coming it's that simple it's that simple my son's at school and he says dad I need help there's there's three guys here they're football players so my son is built like me he's more slender build he's tall he's like there's these three football players and they're seniors and I'm a sophomore and they threaten me they're gonna beat me up after school I said where they said as soon as I get out they're gonna be right outside right down there the football field and I was like don't worry about them I'll be there as soon as school gets out I shall be there before don't worry about them guys do you know what my son would do he'd go back into that school he'd walk by those guys to go see you after school he doesn't anything to worry about because I gave my word and he knows I'm not gonna lie to him to let him down right do you think God cares less about you than your momma and daddy he will not let you down it has seemed that Satan had indeed become the god of this world but the only begotten Son of God looked upon the scene with pity he has seen how his human agencies us have been blinded by the deceitfulness of sin and have become victims of satanic cruelty Christ has seen how Satan has exalted men simply for the purpose of casting them down how he has flattered them in order to draw them into his net and destroy them our Redeemer looked upon the schemes by which Satan works to blot from the human soul every trace to the likeness of God he saw how through indulgence of appetite our brain power was being destroyed and the Temple of God was in ruins he looked with compassion upon men and women who were becoming corrupted ruined murdered and lost through choosing a leader who chained them to his train as captives and yet these slaves were so bewildered so beguiled and deceived that they were actually pleased with their slavery as they moved on in gloomy procession toward eternal ruin you ever seen one of those actors in Hollywood or a music artist and they look like a billion dollars I mean they're perfect their figures perfect their skins perfect there's nothing wrong with them and then you see them in the tabloid what happened the night after they just got back and they're depressed and drunk and you know doing drugs have you ever seen that and you're like wait a minute that doesn't look like the same person I saw on TV but it is it's the same person Robin Williams would get up there and make the whole world laugh and they would go home so depressed they committed suicide and he said he was battling the demons they had no weight he didn't know how to get rid of all such was the prospect upon which our worlds redeemer looked what a horrible spectacle for the eyes of infinite purity to behold wherein can he behold his image and then came Jesus to set the captives free when the soul surrenders to Christ and a new power takes possession of the new heart his heart becomes yours you don't surrender to God and God say you stay out there and I'm gonna fix you up Jesus says I got to get inside you and fix you up and you say created me a clean heart he said I already did I did that when I cleanse my heart I'll give you my heart I'll let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus a change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself it is a supernatural work requiring a supernatural element bringing a supernatural element into human nature the soul that is yielded to Christ becomes his own fortress which he holds in a revolted world and he intends that no authority shall be known in it but his own a soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan they can't get in but you have to say I died when he died I was raised when he was raised his victory is my victory his baptism is my baptism his life is my life I'm willing to lay my life down Oprah Winfrey did it she said I had to open myself up and let those spirits come in so I can act what if we surrender ourselves and a Latin allow the mighty God to come in through him we are more than conquerors and with him there can be no such thing as failure loss and possibility or defeat for we can do all things through him who strengthens us I pray that this will get you thinking if you don't write anything else down right down to sire of Ages page 161 it will change your life now I can almost guarantee you'll be reading that for the next three months not every day but you will search because you'll begin to see that the whole story of the sanctuary is about us what was the most important article of furniture in the sanctuary the Ark of the Covenant what was on two sides of the Ark of the Covenant two hovering cherubs two angels the Bible says know ye not that ye are the temple of God look at the shoulders do you know what this is this is the throne Ellen White says this is the throne of God the heart is the throne of God that's why Jesus says I'm standing at the door knocking to have a throne what do you do on the throne okay do you know there's only one seat in the entire Bible mentioned in the sanctuary or the temple there's only one seat what's it called the mercy seat that's the only chair in the entire sanctuary it's the Ark and you know what's weird what was inside the Ark of the Covenant the law of God where did he say he was gonna write our is law in our hearts I'm gonna have to say that okay I think I want to tell you something right now but I gotta save it it's really it's gonna y'all will love it it'll be I think Saturday Sabbath when I share but I want to share it right now but I got away God wants to take possession of our hearts and our lives and all we have to do is say yes I'm willing and seek him with all your heart and tell him come into me come into me take possession of my heart break down every Idol and cast out all the buyers and sellers and the Lord will do it let's close with prayer father in heaven we thank you for what you and what your son our Lord and our Savior and our King Jesus Christ have done for us and father you promised that you sent your son to open our blind eyes to turn us from darkness to light although we claim that promise for ourselves and for every family in every individual represented here at this camp meeting this week Father give us the fullness of your blessing in Christ Jesus and cause us to know who we are in him sons and daughters of the Most High God thank you for hearing and answering and thank you for making the computer work and Jesus
