00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.800
You're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand. Life has Life has its

2
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.119
share of ups and downs no matter
what you do. Flat tires, an

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.719
unexpected plumbing problem at your house,
even illness. It's just to name a

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:28.280
few. You can't nerf or bubble
wrap. The world. It has sharp

5
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.039
edges and you will feel them from
time to time. At times, you'll

6
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:40.560
have bad or inconvenient things happen to
you. It's been said, don't don't

7
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:47.880
be surprised by the average things in
life. You know, people will have

8
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.439
flat tires, including you. Does
that mean the enemies after you because you

9
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.679
have a flat tire or these types
of things, No, there are.

10
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.280
You're going to have things in life
that happened to you. If you get

11
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.840
to a place where you think that
it's always the devil under every stone,

12
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.000
you miss the fact that when there
really is spiritual warfare going off and on

13
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.719
and on in your life, because
you've mistaken it for this or now everything

14
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:21.920
is spiritual warfare, and you really
miss it when it actually is the enemy.

15
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.879
And this is a whole different classification
of trials that come your way.

16
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:36.120
These are the spiritual trials. So
it's not just a flat tire or plumbing

17
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.159
problem. That's not why does this
happen to me? Is not the time

18
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.400
for that, because why does this
happen to you? Because you're a human

19
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.280
living on earth who has a home
or a car, and these things happen.

20
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:56.719
But this other classification, this other
type of trial that comes your way,

21
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.519
is a spiritual trial. These are
attacks that, strangely enough, are

22
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.719
often brought on by you. When
you invite the enemy into your life.

23
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.599
It's like inviting the devil for dinner. For whatever it is in your life

24
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.599
that you're doing. There are times
where you do things where you welcome the

25
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:30.800
enemy. In any Christian any Christian
family, can take on attacks from the

26
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:38.120
enemy. But as a believer,
you must remember that the knob of your

27
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:46.840
spiritual door is on the inside and
it's only opened by you. The devil

28
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.280
can't truly get in your life unless
you open the door and give them opportunity.

29
00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.360
This opportunity comes from you rejecting the
things of God, straying from the

30
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.199
things of God, looking for that
opportunity that you know is not godly,

31
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.639
looking for that relationship that you know
is not godly, rejecting things that you

32
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:16.840
know are godly. You have opportunities
in your life. They come your way

33
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.639
and you think, well, just
because they came your way, they must

34
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.240
be of God. Not always.
There are relationships that are not good for

35
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.080
you. There's jobs that you shouldn't
be at, or maybe there's another one

36
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.080
that is coming your way that would
be better for you. There are things

37
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:43.479
that you do to manipulate at times
so bad that you welcome the ener man.

38
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.960
You get to that place where it
doesn't matter what the consequences are,

39
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.319
you just want what you want.
You're giving the devil an opportunity when you

40
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.599
ignore the warning signs, the red
flags in your life. How many times

41
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.719
on this very program have reopened the
phone lines and talk to people that have

42
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.479
called up and they have warning signs
and relationships or situations and they ignore them.

43
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:18.680
When you go through something like this, when you ignore those red flags,

44
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.040
those warning signs, the alarms that
are going off in your life,

45
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:32.319
you're giving the enemy an opportunity.
Ephesians four twenty seven says, and do

46
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:39.720
not give the devil an opportunity,
pointing out that you play a part in

47
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.639
this. You play a part in
the dance, in that interaction with the

48
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.319
enemy. The devil himself to play
a part in your life. Now,

49
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:55.800
you may make excuses for it.
You may look for reasons and say,

50
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.720
well, I was doing this because, well I was lonely and I wanted

51
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.160
someone in my life. But when't
do doing that? When the loneliness or

52
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.839
your situation supersedes what you know to
be right or good or the will of

53
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.079
God, then you open up that
door and say, come on in,

54
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.000
devil, and you invite the devil
to dinner, because that seems like a

55
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:30.000
better plan than waiting on God.
The enemy prowls around you looking for this

56
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.759
opening, even masquerading to look more
pleasant to you, trying to fool you,

57
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.240
to look like an opportunity for relationship, to look like a job,

58
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:47.240
opportunity, to look like an opportunity
to get something easier, less stress,

59
00:05:48.959 --> 00:06:00.959
making something more obtainable, to satisfy
that quick fix. For Peter five eight

60
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:06.519
says, be of sober spirit,
be on the alert your adversary. The

61
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:15.560
devil prows around like a roaring line, seeking someone to devour. Don't let

62
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.360
that someone be you. Don't give
the enemy the opportunity to consume you.

63
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.279
Second Corinthians eleven fourteen says, no
wonder for even Satan disguises himself as an

64
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.839
angel of light. If you get
caught up in that appearance, the way

65
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.519
things appear to you, and it
looks like, Hey, here's that opportunity

66
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:45.120
I've wanted. Not always is that
the right way to go. Thessalonian says,

67
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:50.079
to test all things, hold fast
to that which is true. If

68
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:57.120
you're constantly running after whatever opportunity comes
your way, you'll set yourself up.

69
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.079
If you allow people in your life
that you know aren't good for you,

70
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:06.360
you set yourself up. You open
yourself up. If you disregard the things

71
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:15.079
of God, you treat people poorly, you don't follow the rules in life,

72
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.000
changing them always to suit your needs, you open it up for the

73
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:27.759
enemy. You surround yourself's self with
the things in life that are vulgar or

74
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:34.639
contrary to God, or ugly.
You open up the opportunity. And each

75
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:43.160
of these opportunities are an opening,
a crack, a possibility for the enemy

76
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.879
to enter Ephesians four twenty seven.
Again, and do not give the devil

77
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:59.959
an opportunity, any crack, any
fissure, any little opening in your life.

78
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.480
Life it's an opportunity for the enemy. It's not that the devil is

79
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.720
behind every bad thing that happens to
you. As I said, you live

80
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.600
in this life. You are a
human being. You will go through things

81
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.000
that human beings go through. Sometimes
that's sickness. Sometimes it's a flat tire.

82
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.519
Sometimes it's a leak that is sprung
in your bathroom. All of these

83
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.560
things, I understand may seem like
trials, but they aren't necessarily of the

84
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.279
devil. They're of the world.
The world is a place with many,

85
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:50.279
many sharp edges. But the special
type of trial, this spiritual trial from

86
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.320
the enemy, often is a relationship
between you and the enemy. You are

87
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.600
giving permission. You're opening the door
to your world, to your life by

88
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.480
reject the things of God, by
toying or getting too close to the creek

89
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.840
that you fall in. Think of
that visual for a moment, of getting

90
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.639
so close, always trying to tempt
fate, and see how close you can

91
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.519
get to doing the things that are
counter to what you know to be good

92
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:28.480
and rite, and in doing so, creeping ever so closely to that line,

93
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:35.759
just a little bit each time,
that sooner or later you stand at

94
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.600
the door of your spirit, of
your heart, and you hear a knock,

95
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.600
and you open and it's not me
but the enemy looking for an opportunity

96
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:58.360
to come in to devour and destroy. You're going to have issues in life.

97
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.559
You gonna have normal life issues that
come with life. You're gonna trip,

98
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.279
sometimes you're gonna hurt yourself. Sometimes
you're gonna break your favorite dishes.

99
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.600
You're going to do things that happen
because you're human and you're in the world.

100
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:20.440
Some will be bigger than others.
Sometimes you may become ill, sometimes

101
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.159
you may There may be what they
call acts of God, earthquakes, floods,

102
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.600
these types of things. You will
be affected. Life will happen to

103
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.360
you. But there's another set of
trials, of tribulations, of problems that

104
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:41.159
will come your way that have the
thumb print of the enemy. But the

105
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.240
enemy doesn't get in your life easily. The enemy gets in your life by

106
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:52.679
you doing things to attract or allow
the enemy in truly inviting the enemy to

107
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.000
be with you. And I know
what you're thinking right now. You go

108
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.679
absolutely not, Lord, I would
never ever ever bring the enemy into my

109
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:09.000
life. But you dois Ephesians four
twenty seven even says, and do not

110
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.960
give the devil an opportunity. And
some things that you do in your life

111
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.200
are giving the enemy opportunity. You
have to find ways to defend yourself from

112
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.320
building that that structure in your life
that leaves those openings for the enemy to

113
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:35.919
get in. So how does the
faithful believer defend themselves against the enemy.

114
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:43.799
Well, scripture says to submit to
God and resist the devil James four seven.

115
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.960
Submit therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from

116
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.879
you by resisting by first submitting to
God. Also, the Bible instructs you

117
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.559
to put on the whole armor of
God for the ultimate protection from evil Ephesians

118
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.120
six eleven. Put on the full
armor of God so that you will be

119
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.879
able to stand firm against the schemes
of the devil. And you can read

120
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:16.519
the rest of Chapter six and Ephesians
to learn about the complete armor of God.

121
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:22.240
But finally, remember that although the
devil is called the prince of this

122
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:30.519
world, when all is said and
done, God will be without a doubt.

123
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.879
The victor Romans sixteen twenty says,
the God of Peace will soon crush

124
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:45.120
Satan at your feet. The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

125
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.200
Graham. Welcome to the Jesus Christ. Show are you saying Stagram?

126
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.919
Yes, how can I help you? Hi? Good morning to you.

127
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:05.240
Hello, Hi. Yes, I
was calling because I was concerned. I

128
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.840
was considering, Uh, you know, this is a holiday season. We've

129
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.960
got Halloween, We've got Christmas,
and then there's all the various holidays in

130
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.799
the world, and you know,
it's a confusing thing because people do different

131
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:28.679
things. And I studied past with
the Johoah's witnesses, and I was touched

132
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.600
by their thing about Christmas. That
really brought a light to me about that

133
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.320
Stember twenty fifth business, that it
isn't there. And then I think about

134
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.799
it and think about it, and
I did research and things, and you

135
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.799
know, like, for example,
a lot of these cards are greeting cards,

136
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.240
sales ploys like Mother's Day, Father's
Day, Grandparents' Day, Secretary's Day,

137
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.600
and been at them. And you
know, in scripturally, I kind

138
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.879
of take Romans Team five onward till
the end of the of the of the

139
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.399
subject really to heart that we don't
live for our subverb. Well, we

140
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.000
observe it to the Lord. We
observe whatever day we observed to God,

141
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.960
and we do it and give thanks. And we shouldn't be judging our brothers.

142
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:26.720
But but we should just not do
the things that are blatantly So are

143
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.080
you worried about celebrating holidays? Well, yeah, because I'm not so much

144
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:39.960
worried about it. I personally have
totally embraced each day is a blessing and

145
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.600
and and do the best you can
with it. And you know, because

146
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.759
everybody knew how old they were,
you know, in the Bible. I

147
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.919
will tell you this. There's nothing
wrong with holidays. Are they the holy

148
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.519
days of the past. No.
Are a lot of them, at bare

149
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.159
minimum, embellished by the greeting card
companies. Absolutely, But that doesn't mean

150
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.399
that you can't celebrate a mother or
someone's birth or any of these things.

151
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:13.559
I think that there are some groups, some may consider them fringe groups,

152
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.639
that take this to a degree where
they don't celebrate anything. And it's to

153
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:28.399
me that is more militant and un
Christian in the attitude of celebrating all things.

154
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.840
I mean, first, Thessalonians five
sixteen and eighteen rejoice, always pray

155
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
without ceasing, give thanks in all
circumstance, for this is the will of

156
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.360
God in Christ Jesus. For you
there's do you need a special day?

157
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.840
No? But then You could say
the same about the Sabbath. You don't

158
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.639
need a special day for that either. It's just a matter of taking the

159
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:56.679
time and rejoicing and celebrating people.
And sometimes it's easier to put something on

160
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.399
the calendar than it is because people
put it off all the time. You

161
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.399
do it with relationships of any kind. You do it with friendships, with

162
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.559
getting together for coffee or tea or
lunch or dinner or whatever it might be.

163
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.679
You put them off constantly, and
sometimes it's easier to just get something

164
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.559
on the calendar and say this is
the day that we're going to celebrate mothers

165
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:25.919
or fathers or family or friends or
whatever it might be. And some of

166
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.159
them may feel silly and you don't
have to celebrate them. And yes,

167
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.000
you can go back to the origins
of Christmas and Eastern and you can look

168
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.919
that they weren't celebrated by the early
Church. And of course I wasn't born

169
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:45.679
in December. It wouldn't make sense
biblically based on what was taking place during

170
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.200
the time of my birth. All
those things absolutely true. However, there's

171
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:55.799
nothing wrong with taking a time putting
it on the calendar. In the case

172
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.360
of things like Christmas and Easter.
There were pagan holidays during that time.

173
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.359
The Early Church wanted to try and
root those pagan holidays out, so they

174
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:14.279
kind of plopped My Birth and my
Resurrection into those slots to try and squelch

175
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:23.559
or squash the pagan religious ceremonies or
festivals or things like that. And that

176
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.640
was the way of the Early Church
trying to kind of get their way.

177
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.759
I get all that, but it
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It

178
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:40.720
doesn't even matter that there's pagan ties
in when it comes to Christmas and it

179
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.720
comes to Easter, the bunny rabbits, the eggs, all that stuff comes

180
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:51.119
from pagan roots. The Christmas tree
itself is tied to pagan roots. But

181
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.960
it doesn't matter because that's not what
people are celebrating. And so to take

182
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.880
a time of celebration to enjoy any
more than people are celebrating eading, You

183
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.480
know, Pagans on Halloween, they're
just not No kid is looking at the

184
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:12.559
theological significance of Halloween. They're thinking, I get to dress up, which

185
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:19.000
kids love to do, and run
around and get candy for for free.

186
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.519
That's it. No theological you know, And I know that there's a lot

187
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:36.559
of churches and Christian organizations that put
on harvest dances or harvest events to try

188
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:44.799
and sidestep the Halloween situation and holiday. But the truth is that the harvest

189
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:52.480
was an incredibly pagan part of their
ritual. That's where the you know,

190
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.839
they were tied into the earth and
to Mother Earth and it's fruits and all

191
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.640
of these things, and and you
just start looking for the devil under every

192
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:07.920
rock and that doesn't help anybody.
So celebrating birthdays, celebrating Christmas, Easter,

193
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.319
the upcoming Halloween, any of these
things is fine. It depends how

194
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:18.039
you celebrate them. You celebrate Christmas
by you know, you know, killing

195
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.119
a baby animal, probably not putting
a smile on God's face. But if

196
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:30.200
you enjoy family, come together,
hear music, have food, praise God

197
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:34.319
in the process, there's nothing wrong
with any of these days. I think.

198
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:42.599
I think there's this attitude of this
attitude of giving up things that people

199
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:49.559
assume is automatically christ like, that
if you give up anything or you sacrifice

200
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.000
something, that it's christ Like.
And there are times where you're called to

201
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.279
give things up. There's times where
you're called to give up relationships or maybe

202
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.920
move jobs or whatever it might be. Be, But that doesn't mean you

203
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:10.319
need to sacrifice all the time.
There was this young lady that I knew

204
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:15.240
many years ago who was very devout
and wanted to give her life to God.

205
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.519
Her mother had passed away, and
she had things from her mother that

206
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.279
meant so much to her that she
assumed that they were idols in her life.

207
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:33.359
And as she started to dedicate her
life to God, she started giving

208
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.440
up these things, I mean,
mementos that were the last vestige and connection

209
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.920
she had with a person in her
life, her mother, and she threw

210
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.079
them in a dumpster to show God
how much she loved God. And years

211
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:59.359
later she was so resentful towards God
that she fell away. Now you may

212
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.480
say, well, than those things
were idols. No, that's not that.

213
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:07.039
That's not the point. The point
is that that that God is not

214
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:12.640
asking you to do some grand gesture
every moment. God is asking you to

215
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:22.000
live a life that glorifies God.
And these big acts of book burning and

216
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:25.319
getting rid of records and all these, you know, it's not about any

217
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:33.359
of that. It's about trying to
connect with people, be kind to them.

218
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.200
Now, is that going to get
you in too Heaven. No,

219
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.920
you have to have a relationship with
God. But these things on this world,

220
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.880
on this planet, are important,
and that is to connect with one

221
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:51.240
another, to love and to be
kind to one another, and and not

222
00:21:51.400 --> 00:22:00.400
look for religiosity at every turn.
There are times for that. There times

223
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:07.240
for reflection. There are times for
deep prayer, obviously, and to sit

224
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.400
and to ponder the things of God, whether it be through meditation, godly

225
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:18.279
biblical meditation, or to connect with
God in those ways all wonderful. However,

226
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:23.799
these big grand gestures and people in
the Philippines that during Easter are nailing

227
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:33.160
themselves to crosses does nothing for God
and his will and his movement and his

228
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:40.240
cause. So giving up something that
someone enjoys, like a birthday and to

229
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.880
be celebrated, celebrating life and enjoying
one another and all these things, it

230
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.920
means nothing to God. There is
no Oh my goodness, Well look what

231
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.640
they're giving up. It means nothing. It is it's an outward It's something

232
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.759
to stir up other people and to
say, look how different I am.

233
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:03.839
If you want to show people how
differ you are, be kind, connect

234
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.400
with people, put them first,
be selfless. But there's nothing wrong with

235
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.720
celebration. If you want to make
it about your your mother on your birthday,

236
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.920
that's fine too. But there's nothing
wrong with celebrating and finding excuses to

237
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:27.480
celebrate and putting it on the calendar. Absolutely nothing, Anthony. Welcome to

238
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:33.400
the Jesus Christ show. I am. When God cast out the angels down

239
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.599
to earth, did they land in
the land of her best? Samerians?

240
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.680
Because their Bible is exactly like ours. I've been studying history and our ten

241
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:47.200
commandments can be found Moses law Cannonabbi's
law books or spell one point six of

242
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.759
the Egyptian Bible paraphrases are ten commandments. And that's not the and that's not

243
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.319
the only similarities. There are great
similarities throughout other civilizations as well, by

244
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:03.480
Greece and Mithra and Cabalism. And
the way that they preach transcendence is the

245
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.119
exact same cycle as what Jesus went
towards. Well well wait wait wait wait

246
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:12.680
wait, transcendence in what form,
the the depth and the resurrection is their

247
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.799
final stage is sent But there's but
there's also there's also pre cycles that are

248
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.359
much different than Christianity by far,
so be careful not to confine them and

249
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.960
just because there's similarities. Last uh, last week we talked about counterfeits,

250
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:37.480
and there gets to be a point
where similarities don't mean the same. There

251
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.319
are counterfeit dollar bills that are very
similar, but I wouldn't try and pass

252
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.119
them. Okay, But what I
was saying is when God casts out the

253
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:51.119
angels, if they landed in the
land of Earth years ago and the flood

254
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.759
happened is six thousand years ago,
and then the Egyptian culture had the exact

255
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.799
same thing that the Sparians had and
all that, and then Jesus came back

256
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.160
to teach you know that that was
the wrong way of worship, and this

257
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.880
is the right way to set the
records trade. As you would if you're

258
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.519
taking map and map out all the
religions, the timelines in which they existed

259
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.640
and were created, and map out
all the similarities in one color marker,

260
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:21.119
all the differences in a different color
marker, all the similarities between You can

261
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.240
see how religion its migration distorted it, and its birth was with the fallen

262
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.920
angels. And then Jesus came back
to set the records trade because we were

263
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:36.599
worshiping essentially the book of Lists.
They essentially took our Bible and made themselves

264
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:44.000
the gods of it. There are
theories based on similar notions. The problem

265
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:49.559
is that the timeline is based on
the timeline is when it becomes difficult when

266
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:56.119
you're dealing with fallen angels and the
concept of fallen angels. You talk about

267
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:03.480
Revelation twelve seven through nine, talking
about the battle with Michael and his angels

268
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:11.839
fighting against the dragon or Satan.
There's no specific time as a matter of

269
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.960
fact, when something's happening in heaven. In that concept, it's really outside

270
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.400
of time. So if you're using
that as a basis to say, okay,

271
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:25.200
well it's started here and there's similarities, no doubt, similarities may point

272
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:32.519
to a standard through point where you
have a belief system starting here, moving

273
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.599
through here. Some parts are taken, some parts are removed, some of

274
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.119
it's polluted, some of it's added
to what have you. I get that

275
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:44.359
and that has most certainly taken place. But to try and trace it back

276
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:52.720
entirely to the fallen angels might be
a little difficult from a historical or timeline

277
00:26:52.759 --> 00:27:00.440
perspective, but absolutely no doubt that
with the falling of the Angel and the

278
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.880
angels coming to earth, as it
says in scripture. It says in that

279
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.599
very scripture, Revelation twelve seven through
nine talks about that he was thrown down

280
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.880
to the earth and his angels were
thrown down with him, that in that

281
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:22.119
process that there wasn't counterfeits and destruction
and things that went along with it.

282
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:25.799
So I get the big picture of
where you're going and how you look at

283
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:30.119
it. It looks like here you
had a faith, and then pow,

284
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:37.279
you have those that would be motivated
to destroy that faith, causing pollution and

285
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.839
counterfeits and all these things that would
twist it around. And that you say

286
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:47.279
that you can kind of trace that
back, but I think you're dealing with

287
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.599
other things that are outside the timeline
of history and then within the timeline of

288
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.720
history, and that post is kind
of a problem to figure out as to

289
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.960
what took place when and where man
stands in in that whole equation as well.

290
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:04.759
Kf I AM six forty on demand
