1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
As we've been working our way 
week by week through the Lord's 

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,880
Prayer, we are now finding 
ourselves in the second-half of 

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,920
the prayer. 
We look carefully at the 

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,000
invocation, remembering to whom 
we are praying. 

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,320
Very important that we pray to a
father, a loving father who has 

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,080
chosen and adopted his children.
There is intimacy and closeness 

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,720
in this communication, but not 
only is he a loving Father, he 

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,960
is also a Heavenly Father, maker
of heaven and earth, whose 

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,520
wisdom is beyond our 
comprehension, whose powerful 

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:50,720
might is beyond reckoning. 
So He's not only willing as our 

11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,640
loving Father to hear and answer
our prayers, but He is able as 

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,280
the one who has created the 
heavens and the earth. 

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400
And it is to this God that we 
make our petitions. 

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280
And we see that the Lord's 
Prayer comes to us in six 

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,200
petitions. 
The first 3 are about God, about

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520
His name and his Kingdom and His
will. 

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,680
And this last three are about 
our needs. 

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,680
And it's important to get that 
order right, that we know who 

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,640
we're praying to and we pray 
about his will to be done before

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,280
we come down and to start 
praying about our needs. 

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,120
And so we come remembering all 
of that into this part of the 

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,080
prayer. 
Lead us not into into 

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,680
temptation, but deliver us from 
evil. 

24
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,440
And we'll be on this section for
today and the next couple of 

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,400
Sundays. 
So there's a lot, a lot here to 

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120
talk about. 
We'll just begin today, do some 

27
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:46,320
groundwork, ask some questions 
of the text, look at some other 

28
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,720
texts to build and understand a 
theology of spiritual warfare 

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:58,480
and how great is our need for 
the Lord to intervene in order 

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,080
for us to live godly lives. 
My friends, the spiritual life 

31
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,720
is dangerous. 
We have 3 great enemies given to

32
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,800
us, our own evil desires. 
Even if you're a Christian, 

33
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,240
you've been a Christian for a 
long time. 

34
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,160
The Bible teaches that you have 
indwelling sin and you will have

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,440
it until you are glorified 
someday. 

36
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,320
We have our own evil desires, 
but also there is sin 

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,040
enculturated in the society 
around us. 

38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,040
This is what the Bible calls the
world in the negative sense. 

39
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,680
We have our own evil desires. 
We have the world, but we also 

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,920
are dealing with a very real 
spiritual enemy, the devil 

41
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,880
himself, along with his minions.
The spiritual life is dangerous.

42
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:53,120
We need divine protection. 
Now. 

43
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,480
We're used to thinking about 
needing protection. 

44
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,040
We say safety first. 
Buckle your seat belt. 

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,920
Don't climb too high. 
In fact, some have written that 

46
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:06,360
we are, in the current day, kind
of obsessed with safety. 

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,280
We are so anxious and beholden 
to a type of safety ISM. 

48
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,160
But I wonder how aware we are 
friends of our spiritual 

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,680
dangers, the spiritual dangers 
that threaten our souls on a 

50
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
daily basis. 
How vigilant are we about 

51
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120
knowing our own vulnerabilities 
and our resources? 

52
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,760
None of us in this room is a 
stranger to temptation. 

53
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Many of us know deeply what it 
means to fail, to know the good 

54
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120
that we ought to do and desire 
to do it. 

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:59,680
But for our flesh to fail once 
again, Once again asking for 

56
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880
forgiveness, wondering if we'll 
ever be out of this terrible 

57
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,160
cycle. 
This morning we're going to talk

58
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,760
about protection from trials and
temptations and consider 

59
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,440
together our spiritual resources
for the same. 

60
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
First, we need as we get into 
the Lord's Prayer again, we need

61
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800
to understand the nature of the 
problem. 

62
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040
What is the nature of the 
problem? 

63
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,080
What are we really praying for 
and about and against? 

64
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,320
When we say Father lead us not 
into temptation, what does that 

65
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
mean? 
First, I want to just notice 

66
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,880
that it's in a set of daily 
needs. 

67
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,840
We prayed for our daily food, 
clothing, shelter, Our Daily 

68
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,880
Bread given daily. 
We've also talked about the 

69
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,720
ongoing need for forgiveness 
even after we've had our part. 

70
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760
And it's a daily prayer for 
forgiveness for ourselves and 

71
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,040
for those that sin against us. 
This too, has a daily component 

72
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,800
to it. 
We need daily protection from 

73
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,320
spiritual danger. 
What is this word temptation? 

74
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120
No, it's interesting. 
When I when I went to seminary, 

75
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,520
I was so sure that if I just 
learned Greek and Hebrew, I 

76
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,320
would have the golden keys to 
clarity for the text. 

77
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,480
Greek and Hebrew will solve all 
of the confusing problems in the

78
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,360
text. 
That is a lie. 

79
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:34,280
That is not the case. 
I was probably led to believe 

80
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,840
this because I had good 
expositors both in my church and

81
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,920
in my school who often delivered
amazing insights and deep 

82
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,240
clarity from the original 
languages. 

83
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,200
But I learned, I came to learn 
that sometimes it's actually 

84
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,360
harder in the original languages
to know what's going on with 

85
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,240
this word temptation. 
The Greek word is often the 

86
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,600
exact same word over and over 
and over again for trials or 

87
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,280
tests or temptations comes 
through over and over and over 

88
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,640
again. 
And you actually have to do 

89
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,120
contextual work to figure out 
what is going on with this word.

90
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,960
And your English Bibles try to 
help you by sometimes 

91
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,720
translating it as trial or test 
and other times translating it 

92
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,680
as temptation. 
But you look into the Greek and 

93
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:30,960
most of the time it's ambiguous.
Like you to turn your Bibles to 

94
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,280
James chapter 1 if you have them
with you, James chapter 1. 

95
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,360
Look at a few examples briefly 
so you can see how this word is 

96
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:47,360
operating. 
We may get more confused before 

97
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,920
the clarity, but that's the 
normal process of learning James

98
00:06:53,960 --> 00:07:01,680
first chapter beginning in verse
2, James writes count it all joy

99
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,600
my brothers, when you meet 
trials there it says trials, the

100
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Greek word. 
It can be trials or temptations.

101
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,560
When you meet temptations of 
various kinds. 

102
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,120
For you know that the testing of
your faith produces 

103
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,400
steadfastness and let 
steadfastness have its full 

104
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,200
effect that you may be perfect 
and complete, lacking in 

105
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,440
nothing. 
Well, OK, James seemed kind of 

106
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,600
optimistic here. 
Maybe we should have some 

107
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,160
measure of joy when we go 
through tests of some kind 

108
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:38,240
because they develop faith and 
perseverance, good virtues. 

109
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560
They are sanctifying. 
Interesting. 

110
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,800
But in the same chapter, down in
verse 13 through 15, he's going 

111
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,960
to talk about temptations again.
Same Greek word down in verse 

112
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,880
13. 
Let no one say when he is 

113
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,280
tempted. 
Same Greek word trials. 

114
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,560
I am being tempted by God. 
For God cannot be tempted with 

115
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,320
evil as and he himself tempts no
one. 

116
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,440
But each person is tempted when 
he is lured and enticed by his 

117
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
own desire. 
Then desire when it has 

118
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,720
conceived gives birth to sin, 
and sin when it is fully grown 

119
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,520
brings forth death. 
Amazing powerful image from 

120
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,880
James about sort of a kind of 
spiritual pregnancy, a 

121
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:37,480
conception, a gestation, a 
delivery of evil and death and 

122
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,520
warns the reader, hey, don't 
blame these things on God, they 

123
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240
come from you. 
God doesn't tempt people. 

124
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,320
You have your own evil desires. 
Try stop trying to displace the 

125
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,720
blame that belongs to yourself. 
OK, thank you James. 

126
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,000
Another interesting data point 
is we're building our biblical 

127
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,840
theology Matthew chapter 4. 
You don't have to turn there, 

128
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,320
but in Matthew chapter 4 says 
this then Jesus was led up by 

129
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,440
the Spirit, the Holy Spirit God.
He was led by God into the 

130
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,880
wilderness. 
Why to be tempted by the devil. 

131
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,800
Interesting. 
After and after fasting, 40 days

132
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,280
and 40 nights, he was hungry and
the tempter came and said to 

133
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,600
him, if you are the Son of God, 
command these stones to become 

134
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,000
loaves of bread, the Holy Spirit
leading Jesus into temptation. 

135
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,240
What does this mean? 
Also another interesting thing 

136
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,360
to look at. 
We won't turn there either, but 

137
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,080
in Genesis chapter 22, 
obviously, hopefully for you, 

138
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,640
you're learning about your 
Bibles. 

139
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,800
The Old Testament's written in 
Hebrew, but in the Greek 

140
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,000
translation of the Hebrew Bible,
they use the exact same word 

141
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,840
regarding the testing of 
Abraham. 

142
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,720
In Genesis 22 after these 
things, God tested Abraham, or 

143
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,560
it could say tempted Abraham and
said to him, Abraham and he 

144
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,440
said, here I am. 
God said take your son, your 

145
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,320
only son Isaac, whom you love, 
and go to the the land of Moriah

146
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160
and offer him there as a burnt 
offering on one of the mountains

147
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,720
of which I shall tell you. 
What? 

148
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Wait, what James, haven't you 
read your Bible? 

149
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Why James, are you saying God 
doesn't tempt anyone when the 

150
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,400
Greek version of your Old 
Testament is he tested Abraham? 

151
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,200
This is confusing. 
I don't understand. 

152
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,280
And thankfully your English 
Bibles are translators. 

153
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,080
Sometimes they're going to say 
test or trial, and other times 

154
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920
they're going to say temptation 
to kind of help you with the 

155
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,400
nuance because there are two 
different types of temptation, 

156
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:53,800
and it has to do with motive and
ends. 

157
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:00,320
You see our enemy, the devil, 
when he is tempting persons, he 

158
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:08,600
is seeking to entrap and 
destroy, to murder, and yet our 

159
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Lord, when he allows or even 
does testing, it is for the 

160
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:23,680
development and the proving of 
faith, as with Abraham, as with 

161
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:31,400
Job, as with our Lord. 
So in summering up the problem 

162
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,200
as we think briefly together, 
biblically, Satan tempts in 

163
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,840
order to entrap and destroy. 
His motive is wicked and evil, 

164
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,840
and so are his ends. 
But God tests in order to prove 

165
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,840
and improve our faith, as He did
with Abraham and Job and our 

166
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Lord Paul the Apostle. 
The apostle had a thorn in his 

167
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,560
flesh, which he called a 
messenger from Satan. 

168
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,000
Why? 
In order that He would not 

169
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,560
become conceited. 
It says to keep me from becoming

170
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:12,720
conceited because of the 
surpassing greatness of the 

171
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,520
revelations. 
And in the parallel passage, 

172
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,240
when Jesus is predicting Peter's
denials, He even says that 

173
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
there's satanic temptation going
on there too. 

174
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,880
In Luke 22 verse 31 and 32 it 
says this, Simon, Simon, behold,

175
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,720
Satan demanded to have you, that
he might sift you like wheat. 

176
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,800
But I have prayed for you, that 
your faith may not fall, may not

177
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,760
fail, and when you have turned 
again, strengthen your brothers.

178
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,880
The devil is a source of 
temptation. 

179
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,640
The Lord Himself tests in order 
to prove our faith. 

180
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,760
There are other sources of 
temptation, as James has taught 

181
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,720
us our own evil desires, and 
that's what he's talking about 

182
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,680
in James One. 
When he says God isn't tempt, 

183
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:09,560
he's saying, look, don't blame 
God for your own evil desires. 

184
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,200
He's not undoing an entire 
biblical theology of trials. 

185
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,800
So we have our own evil desires 
to work with and through with 

186
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:27,320
the Lord, but also the evil 
desires of the world and 

187
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,360
culturated in society, putting 
constant pressure on us, 

188
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,440
tempting us in the wrong 
directions. 

189
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,600
So when we come to the Lord's 
Prayer, what is it that we're 

190
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840
praying for? 
What are what is it that we're 

191
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,960
praying against? 
What kind of trial or temptation

192
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,760
is being prayed about here? 
Is it trials and tests from God?

193
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,760
Is it satanic temptations? 
Are these temptations arising 

194
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,440
from our own evil desires or 
temptations arising from the 

195
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,800
world? 
You savvy test takers, you know 

196
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,040
the answer before I tell you 
it's answer choice E all of the 

197
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:22,200
above. 
Spiritual life is dangerous and 

198
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,240
there's a tax coming not only 
from within but from without. 

199
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280
And there's trials coming from 
God himself in order to prove 

200
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,560
our faith. 
And so we pray with the Lord's 

201
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Prayer, just like our Lord is 
praying in Gethsemane. 

202
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,960
He says, if it's possible for 
this cup to pass for me, so be 

203
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,040
it. 
If not, Thy will be done. 

204
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,440
And so we come to this prayer 
and we say lead us. 

205
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,360
Not a temptation. 
If any of this God is avoidable,

206
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,960
please protect me. 
Medicine. 

207
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,320
We have a saying that's become a
cliche. 

208
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,080
It's absolutely true. 
An ounce of prevention is worth 

209
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,040
what? 
A pound of cure? 

210
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Lord, keep me from evil. 
Keep me from temptation. 

211
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:16,120
It's also an explicit 
recognition that we are weak and

212
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,960
frail. 
We can't handle it. 

213
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,840
In the passage that Ed read so 
well this morning, the disciples

214
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600
are overconfident. 
We're with you, Lord. 

215
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Even if we have to die, we're 
with you. 

216
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:36,120
They'll even argue with them 
about it says no spirit is 

217
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,240
willing, but the flesh is weak. 
And you guys, you don't even 

218
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,920
know what you're up against. 
And you're going to go through a

219
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:49,000
horrible ordeal. 
You will run away, you'll be in 

220
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,840
despair, and you're going to go 
through this arc of suffering 

221
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,080
until you understand the victory
of the resurrection. 

222
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,440
And then you will emerge 
humbled, chastened, and with a 

223
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,600
boldness you can't imagine that 
will lead nearly all of them to 

224
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,840
a martyr's death, embraced with 
courage the courage they thought

225
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:18,440
they had when they didn't. 
And so we pray this, 

226
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,640
acknowledging that we are very 
weak indeed, asking for 

227
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,960
spiritual protection. 
And we go out into the day with 

228
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,680
our armor on. 
Bible talks about the armor of 

229
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:36,640
God. 
Ready made, bold, equipped to 

230
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,880
withstand these types of trials 
and temptations, and hopefully 

231
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,920
in such a way that we stand firm
and our faith grows. 

232
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,360
In the passage that we read this
morning, the prescription for 

233
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,320
the problem is given from our 
Lord's mouth Himself. 

234
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Did you catch it? 
What He told them to do. 

235
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:09,400
Watch and pray that you do not 
enter into temptation. 

236
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,200
Watch and pray that you may not 
enter into temptation again. 

237
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,720
You should hear the echoes of 
the prayer they were taught to 

238
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,440
pray first. 
Watch in the image that I want 

239
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,960
you to have is a watchman on the
wall, a great fortress, and it's

240
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,839
your job for your shift to pay 
attention. 

241
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,080
You're not supposed to fall 
asleep. 

242
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,800
You're not supposed to joke 
around with your buddies. 

243
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,960
You're supposed to pay 
attention. 

244
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,880
There is a vigilance, A 
watchfulness. 

245
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,520
Now, this watchfulness should be
happening in two particular 

246
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,200
ways. 
One is 1 is to watch ourselves, 

247
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040
to know something about the 
anatomy and the Physiology of 

248
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,200
our spiritual vulnerabilities. 
Do you know your weaknesses? 

249
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:00,960
Have you had frank conversations
with brothers and sisters in 

250
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,720
Christ so that you know your 
weaknesses? 

251
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,200
Have you learned from your sin 
patterns where you shouldn't go 

252
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,400
or what you shouldn't watch? 
Things you shouldn't do? 

253
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,360
People you shouldn't be with? 
What is the anatomy and 

254
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:19,480
Physiology of your own spiritual
dynamics when it comes to your 

255
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,040
sin? 
And if you've never taken some 

256
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,600
time to study the categories of 
sin, I would highly recommend 

257
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,880
it. 
People say pastor, and that 

258
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,400
sounds so depressing. 
Ironically, it does. 

259
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,160
But I promise you it will yield 
good fruit. 

260
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,000
I'm sure in a room this size, 
I'm not going to make you raise 

261
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,560
your hands, but I'm sure in a 
room this size, this size, many 

262
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,720
of you don't like to go to the 
dentist. 

263
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,920
No thanks. 
Hate it. 

264
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,960
There's a few of you that like 
the dentist. 

265
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,520
Somehow you find it relaxing. 
My wife is in this category. 

266
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,640
I don't understand her. 
But all of us should be glad for

267
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,760
the dentist. 
Whether you like going or not 

268
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
going, you are thankful that 
there are people that can 

269
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:13,400
understand your problems. 
They can offer you cures. 

270
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,960
You come out thankful. 
And this studying sin is a type 

271
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:26,280
of downward gaze in order to 
look up to the magnitude and the

272
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,960
immensity of what has been 
provided us in Christ Jesus. 

273
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,640
And the greater you understand 
the magnitude and the enormity 

274
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,960
and the exceeding sinfulness of 
sin, the more you can understand

275
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,720
the glory of the cross, the 
cross and the resurrection, and 

276
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,800
the indwelling Spirit who 
produces spiritual fruit in US. 

277
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,240
You got to go down in order to 
go up. 

278
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,920
And if you've never done this, I
would commend to you, of course,

279
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,720
CS Lewis. 
You can start with his fiction, 

280
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,480
start with the screw tape 
letters. 

281
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,840
Let him do some surgery on your 
soul. 

282
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,680
The Great Divorce is also in 
this category. 

283
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,720
But my most favorites, The 
Chronicles of Narnia, for by his

284
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,560
fiction, he sort of sneaks 
around a sleeping dragon that 

285
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,760
you have in your heart that is 
defensive fire breathing, 

286
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,680
telling me it's not my fault. 
I didn't do anything wrong. 

287
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,760
You guys sneak around that that 
guy, don't wake him up so that 

288
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,360
you can have a mirror put up to 
your own heart that shows you 

289
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:39,040
what your pathology is. 
And maybe it sounds like Lucy or

290
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:45,880
Edmund or Eustace Scrub. 
We can resonate with the 

291
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:52,600
characters and see where we can 
be humble, where we can pray for

292
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,920
protection and pray for 
undragoning so that we may be 

293
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,720
holy like our Lord. 
So that's the look within, but 

294
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,520
we also have to take a look 
without. 

295
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,680
We have to be understanding 
about the spiritual currents of 

296
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,400
our age that are pulling us away
from our Lord and away from His 

297
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,200
church. 
Our constant diet of of media, 

298
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:21,440
whether it's politics or music 
or arts has a certain current to

299
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,480
it. 
And in every age there's a lot 

300
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,840
that's pushing on you that is 
not pushing you towards our Lord

301
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,080
or to towards his church. 
So we have to live in this 

302
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760
world. 
The Lord does not take us out of

303
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,280
this world. 
We live in this world, but as 

304
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:40,160
salty, light filled Christians 
who are savvy about what's going

305
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:45,760
on culturally, who help one 
another to say no to ungodliness

306
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:53,440
and worldly passions. 
John writes love not the world, 

307
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,440
neither the things of the world.
If anyone loves the world, the 

308
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
love of the Father is not in 
him. 

309
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,000
That means there should be a 
type of sorrow in our hearts 

310
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:09,800
when we scan and see 
ungodliness, unrepentant 

311
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,640
oppressive power structures, 
greed and war. 

312
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,720
We look within and we look 
without, but we not, we must 

313
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,160
also look at Jesus. 
And you not watch with me? 

314
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,400
He asks His disciples. 
Watch with me. 

315
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,280
We watch with Jesus. 
He is the one who has vanquished

316
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,240
our enemies. 
He is the one that is causing 

317
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,720
spiritual fruit to move in and 
through us as we abide in Him. 

318
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,600
We watch with Jesus, and we 
watch with Jesus. 

319
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:54,680
By watching for Jesus, like the 
ones in the parable whose Wicks 

320
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,200
are prepared and their oil 
lamps, they have a vigilance. 

321
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,440
They're watching for the coming 
bridegroom, the Lord Jesus 

322
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,520
himself. 
And it's with this, this 

323
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,720
watching with him and this 
watching for him that enables us

324
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,520
to stand. 
Last thing I'll say about 

325
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,240
watching before we talk about 
prayer briefly, this watching, 

326
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,680
this vigilance is not an anxious
watching. 

327
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,800
We are not on that wall, just 
waking with fear constantly when

328
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,600
the as soon as the smallest 
little thing goes like this that

329
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,400
we freak out and catastrophize. 
The sky is falling. 

330
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:42,040
We are not anxious watchers. 
It's more like driving, 

331
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,200
hopefully. 
I don't know what you're like 

332
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440
when you drive. 
There's a lot of danger when you

333
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,760
drive. 
It's the most dangerous thing 

334
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,120
you undertake by far. 
Statistically speaking, driving 

335
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,360
is dangerous. 
But nobody wants to ride with 

336
00:23:56,360 --> 00:24:02,120
somebody who drives like this. 
They're wearing a helmet. 

337
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:03,880
They want you to wear a helmet. 
You're like, what is your 

338
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,600
problem, man? 
Can't we just like listen to the

339
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,920
radio or something? 
And yet you don't want to ride 

340
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:17,280
with somebody who's like asleep,
who doesn't care who's driving 

341
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,360
on the rumble strip. 
And so there is a there is a 

342
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,960
vigilance which is appropriately
aware of spiritual danger, but 

343
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,640
it's also has competencies built
up in Christ and in spiritual 

344
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,840
resources so that you can play 
the song on the radio and have a

345
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,960
conversation, all the while 
vigilant against evil. 

346
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160
So I don't want to cause a 
vigilance which is so anxious 

347
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,120
that you can't be a joyful 
Christian friend so you can't 

348
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:53,280
hear the music anymore. 
So it's not a anxious watching, 

349
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,120
it's not paranoid, it's not 
suspicious, it's vigilant. 

350
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,760
What does this look like? 
Jesus says watch and pray, and I

351
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,080
would say the vigilance comes by
prayer. 

352
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,360
How do we watch? 
Mostly by praying. 

353
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,200
Praying. 
This line from the Lord's Prayer

354
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,000
admits our spiritual weakness. 
Hopefully it causes repentance 

355
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,280
for the deadly sins in our 
heart, which causes also a 

356
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,960
vigilance about the world as we 
go out into it for our day. 

357
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,000
But a prayerful with Ness as 
Jesus is with us by the Holy 

358
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:39,120
Spirit protecting us, guiding 
us, giving us everything that we

359
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:43,280
need in Christ Jesus. 
So there's a vigilance by 

360
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,760
prayer. 
It's a for a daily protection. 

361
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,000
And I think that it also wells 
in up into a type of 

362
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,160
Thanksgiving for all the hidden 
protection that we have against 

363
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720
evil. 
And I'm going to finish with 

364
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,440
this, friends, You are being 
protected all the time against 

365
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,640
dangers you know nothing about, 
and for this we give thanks. 

366
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,160
If you want to have a good 
conversation over lunch, ask one

367
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,440
another. 
Friend, when has the Lord 

368
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,240
protected you from sin? 
Tell me about a time where you 

369
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,200
had a near miss. 
Tell me about a time when your 

370
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,200
heart was hard and you could 
have ruined your life, but God 

371
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,160
rescued you somehow. 
Let's hear that. 

372
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,720
Let's testify. 
Let's well up in Thanksgiving. 

373
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,520
The Lord is protecting us all 
the time from hidden dangers we 

374
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,520
know nothing about, often in 
response to prayer. 

375
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Prayer isn't just some 
psychological spiritual 

376
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,120
exercise. 
It's real. 

377
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:44,520
It matters. 
The Lord has angels at His 

378
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:51,640
disposal to help guard and 
protect his children, whether 

379
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,320
that's from spiritual dangers or
physical dangers. 

380
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040
There should be a Thanksgiving 
that wells up in our hearts. 

381
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,120
I was talking to a friend just 
this week. 

382
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,120
We had a long journey to drive, 
and when they finally arrived, 

383
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:05,800
they called me and said, I'm 
here. 

384
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,520
I made it. 
The Lord's been so good. 

385
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,520
He protected us over all those 
miles. 

386
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,920
I'm sure his angels were 
surrounding us. 

387
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,560
And I thought, praise God for 
you. 

388
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,120
This person isn't just assuming 
that they go through this life 

389
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:25,120
in their own power, under their 
own protection, but that they 

390
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:30,920
are weak and frail and needy and
that the Lord provides all of 

391
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,280
these things. 
There's going to be more to say.

392
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,840
We're going to have to talk 
about rescue from evil. 

393
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,680
We're going to talk about the 
devil that's coming. 

394
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,080
But for today, we'll conclude 
where we started. 

395
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,600
Friends, we have spiritual 
enemies and they're dangerous, 

396
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,800
indwelling sin, the world and 
the devil. 

397
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:57,520
They gravely threaten us every 
day, but with our risen Lord, we

398
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,760
watch and pray in order to 
overcome sin and live holy 

399
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,920
lives. 
I've been inviting the folks 

400
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,560
here to join me in the Lord's 
Prayer as a way to conclude. 

401
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,280
If you don't know it, that's OK.
I'd encourage you to listen when

402
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,720
we get to the part about sins or
deaths or trespasses. 

403
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,480
We've been saying trespasses. 
So would you join me as we pray 

404
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,200
together the Lord's Prayer? 
Our Father, who art in heaven, 

405
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,320
hallowed be thy name, Thy 
Kingdom come, thy will be done 

406
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,320
on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day Our Daily 

407
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Bread, and forgive us our 
trespasses, as we forgive those 

408
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,240
who trespass against us. 
Lead us not into temptation, but

409
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,240
deliver us from evil. 
For thine is the Kingdom, the 

410
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,960
power, and the glory forever. 
Amen.
