1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
In the name of the glorious 
Trinity, Father and Son and Holy

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Spirit, forever Amen. 
Glory be to the everlasting 

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,960
mercies which sent you to us, O 
Christ, the light of the world 

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,960
and the life of all. 
Give us wisdom by. 

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,720
Your law and enlighten our 
impulses by your knowledge, 

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,800
sanctify our souls by Your 
truth, and grant that we may be 

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,240
obedient to your words and may 
fulfil your commandments at 

8
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,560
every hour. 
O you who? 

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Enlightens the rational with the
knowledge of Your greatness. 

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,640
Do enlight, O my Lord, our 
thoughts, that we may meditate 

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,720
upon Your holy and divine 
Scriptures at all times, O Lord 

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,960
of all, Father and Son and Holy 
Spirit. 

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:01:06,200
Forever. 
From Acts chapter 16, verse 19. 

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,640
And when her masters saw that 
the hope of their business was 

15
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,840
lost, with her power, they 
seized Paul and Selas, and beat 

16
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,440
them, and brought them to the 
marketplace. 

17
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,560
And they brought them before the
soldiers and the city 

18
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,800
magistrates, and said These men 
are Jews, and they create 

19
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,360
disturbances in our city, and 
they preach customs to us which 

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,880
are not lawful for us to accept 
and practice, because we are 

21
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Romans. 
And a large crowd gathered 

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,080
against them. 
Then the soldiers stripped them 

23
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,760
of their clothes and gave 
command to scorch them. 

24
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,360
And when they had flocked them 
severely, they cast them into 

25
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,360
prison, charging the jailer to 
jailer to watch. 

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Them carefully. 
He having received the charge, 

27
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,080
brought them in and put them 
into the inner Chamber of the 

28
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,440
prison and fastened their feet 
in stocks or bondage. 

29
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Let's let's stop there. 
Now we know that the the story 

30
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,960
goes of the young lady who's 
crying out and maybe not through

31
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,640
the demon. 
The demon didn't say anything 

32
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,200
wrong. 
The demon was saying these are 

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,200
men of God. 
They are preaching the way of 

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,560
salvation. 
That is true. 

35
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,800
But you know, we learned that we
do not heed to demons. 

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,800
We don't. 
And and we, we brought some 

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,000
examples. 
You don't entrust your property 

38
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280
to a thief. 
You don't believe a murderer 

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,280
talking about the preciousness 
of life because the person is a 

40
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,520
murderer unless the merchant is 
repented and, and what have you.

41
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:43,280
So now we see that she wasn't 
alone. 

42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,040
She was actually working. 
She was making money. 

43
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,200
She would foretell the future, 
right? 

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,800
And she was making money and the
through the demon making money. 

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,440
This is a business. 
So we see that her master's or 

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,520
her parents maybe now that the 
demon was exposed and expelled, 

47
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,760
go to any length to take 
revenge. 

48
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,320
You know, today it's the same 
thing happens when exposed. 

49
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,400
We put up a fight regardless of 
how far it goes. 

50
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,240
That's the norm today. 
When you are confronted with 

51
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,040
facts, exposed, debunked 
factually, when you're hurt 

52
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,400
financially with truth, fact and
at times common sense, you go to

53
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:38,160
another level, right? 
We don't fear man, we don't fear

54
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,320
God. 
We don't respect God and we 

55
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,840
don't respect man. 
So we go to any level, but when 

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,360
the the key to it is to fear the
Lord, because when you fear the 

57
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,920
Lord and you have been exposed, 
you have been corrected, you 

58
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,760
have been rebuked, then you will
take it on board. 

59
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,120
You'll either examine it or 
accept it. 

60
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,960
But when there's No Fear of God 
and you have been corrected, you

61
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,680
go to another level because then
there's no shame. 

62
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,040
Because there's No Fear. 
No one will have shame unless 

63
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,960
they have the fear of the Lord. 
When we are convicted because of

64
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,240
our evil, our vile, our 
wickedness, or just wrongness, 

65
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,560
if there's such a word, we 
resort to ignorance, sometimes 

66
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,680
stubbornness and arrogance. 
But that doesn't help, and 

67
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,200
indeed, truly it doesn't help 
when we are stubborn after being

68
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,520
exposed, after being corrected, 
debunked factually, evidently, 

69
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,200
and we go to another level to 
take revenge through arrogance, 

70
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,280
ignorance, stubbornness. 
It doesn't help us, Beloved, 

71
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,840
that's actually quite foolish, 
quite foolish. 

72
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,880
You know, maybe during these 
episodes, you've heard something

73
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,440
from the scriptures, you've 
heard a, a statement and you 

74
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,920
know, it's exposed you, your 
conscience has, has started to 

75
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,760
convict you. 
What have you done? 

76
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:07,920
Have you, have you switched off 
your radio or your, you've, 

77
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,200
you've, you know, logged off out
of what is it Spotify? 

78
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,920
And that's, but that's not 
correct. 

79
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,600
That's not right. 
That's not helping you. 

80
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Or have you then finished 
listening to the episode and 

81
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,440
then prayed that the Lord will 
help you examine your life and 

82
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,480
your soul and where you stand in
regards to that specific point 

83
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,880
that you've heard that is 
convicting you, and then begin 

84
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,000
the process of repentance and 
and reconciliation? 

85
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,280
That's great. 
You know, when there is 

86
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,320
conviction of faith, Praise God.
If you have the conviction, 

87
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,160
sorry. 
When there is a conviction of 

88
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:58,520
the soul, a conviction of the 
conscience, praise God. 

89
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,160
You're in a good place. 
But when there is no conviction,

90
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,720
that's where you're in a bad 
place. 

91
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,120
And we need to pray that the 
Lord will help us heed to our 

92
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
conscience. 
It's foolish to be arrogant and 

93
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,240
ignorant when you receive good 
counselling. 

94
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,800
Proverbs chapter 12, verse 15. 
The way of the fool is beautiful

95
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,400
in his eyes. 
You see things right, according 

96
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,960
to your own understanding, maybe
according to your greed, pride, 

97
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
evil, but maybe it's not that 
way, that way in the eye of God 

98
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,600
and in the eye of man. 
And he goes on to say he that 

99
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,640
listens to counsel is wise. 
You know, a wise man takes the 

100
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,920
counsel of many, you see, in the
place of the master or her 

101
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:49,160
parents, maybe her masters, the 
masters of this divinator who 

102
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,000
told the the the future in place
of this man or these people 

103
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,240
acknowledging the fact that the 
power of the true God in the 

104
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,880
name of Jesus Christ has 
overcome the demon and which who

105
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,920
and they they obviously thought 
he was a God. 

106
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,680
They thought these demons were 
God. 

107
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,200
She's doing it by the power of 
God. 

108
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Well, right now, at this moment,
in the name of Jesus Christ, 

109
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,520
Paul and Selas have proved 
exposed that this is not a God. 

110
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,360
It's evil, it's demon. 
Now, in place of acknowledging 

111
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,080
that, in place of acknowledging 
the failure of the power of this

112
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:32,200
idol, God working through his 
employee, the girl, in place of 

113
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880
stopping and thinking what 
happened? 

114
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,040
How is it that in the name of 
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, in 

115
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,880
the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, Jesus Christ, two names,

116
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,480
how is it that this demon has 
been abolished, obliterated, 

117
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,200
right? 
What do they do? 

118
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,800
They start to stir the pot 
between the Jews and the Romans,

119
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,000
as if it wasn't enough that they
had an animosity, hatred between

120
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120
one another, right? 
This is what we do. 

121
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,640
Sometimes we need to stop and 
think when someone tells us 

122
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,360
something. 
We all go through this problem. 

123
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,840
This is this is a weakness we 
all have. 

124
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Stop and think about it. 
It may not seem that correct. 

125
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,080
You know, there have been times 
in my life, just as a testimony,

126
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,480
that I've convinced myself that 
these are the facts of this 

127
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,799
matter and I've stood by them 
very strongly, firmly, 

128
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,200
steadfastly. 
Time has gone by and then you 

129
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120
start really thinking about it 
in depth. 

130
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,000
That is when I've been rebuked 
that you know what, no, that's 

131
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,040
right. 
I was so focused. 

132
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,400
I was so focused on what I 
thought was right. 

133
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,560
I couldn't, I couldn't see, I 
couldn't understand, I couldn't 

134
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,480
acknowledge. 
I couldn't even ponder on what 

135
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,120
someone else was saying. 
You just say that. 

136
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,000
No, that's, that's not the way 
it is. 

137
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,600
But there comes a time you know 
they, and this is through 

138
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,320
experience. 
This is through living with the 

139
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,280
word of God and living with God 
and committing to God's God's 

140
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Holy Spirit, which is the 
conscience to allow to, you 

141
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,160
know, rebuke you and and wake 
you up. 

142
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,880
So at times we don't take 
vengeance, just wait and 

143
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,800
acknowledge the fact. 
Sometimes there are facts. 

144
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,400
It's a fact. 
You cannot deny it. 

145
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,760
You know, you see people arguing
freedom of speech, freedom of 

146
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,480
choice, freedom of dialogue. 
Amen to that. 

147
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,160
Praise God. 
And by the way, God gave that. 

148
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,560
It wasn't a government that's 
given us freedom. 

149
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:42,840
The government doesn't give you 
freedom. 

150
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Actually, no, no, no they don't.
Let's go back. 

151
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Let's not go there. 
It's freedom. 

152
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Liberty is from God. 
OK, We're discussing a point. 

153
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960
We're arguing. 
We're we're not agreeing. 

154
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,240
That's fine. 
We're not agreeing, right? 

155
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,640
Be it abortion, be it 
homosexuality, be it same sex, 

156
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,360
be it by gender, be it 
financially, be it religion, 

157
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,080
politics, you know, educate, 
whatever it may be. 

158
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Philosophy. 
OK, there is a difference. 

159
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,080
Let's talk now when you 
dialogue, you're putting your 

160
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,440
point of view and someone else 
is putting now when there are 

161
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,840
facts proven facts in history 
and then you just can't you 

162
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,160
can't go against that. 
Why do we then resort to 

163
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,480
swearing, throwing the F bomb 
and flipping the middle finger? 

164
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,560
Why? 
Why do we walking away and and 

165
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,520
effing this? 
I'm sorry, but I'm why do we do 

166
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,080
that? 
Why? 

167
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,640
You know why that's foolishness.
That's because you know you're 

168
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,760
wrong as a as opposed to saying,
you know, I didn't think of that

169
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,440
way. 
I still don't agree with you. 

170
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,000
Let me go back and do more 
research. 

171
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,720
Let me go back and think about 
it. 

172
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,680
But beloved, when you have 
thought about it, when you've 

173
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:00,040
come to that conclusion that 
this is right, what do you do? 

174
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,240
You need to change. 
You need to begin to change. 

175
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,800
This fool shouldn't have stirred
the pot. 

176
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,160
He should have soon the facts. 
Look at the facts, see, look at 

177
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,360
the facts, understand and then 
start. 

178
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,760
What is this world? 
Maybe this God? 

179
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,920
If this God can be rebuked and 
obliterated in the name of one 

180
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,000
man, Jesus Christ, he should 
have turned around. 

181
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240
The right thing to do was to 
say, who is this Jesus you are 

182
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,160
preaching? 
No, he stirs the pot between the

183
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Jews and the Romans. 
He switches to revenge. 

184
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Unrighteous revenge. 
Violence, assault. 

185
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,760
Dragging them. 
He actually put his hands on 

186
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,520
them and the crowd put their 
hand on. 

187
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,840
This is assault, right? 
Today. 

188
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Don't touch me. 
Don't touch me. 

189
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Oh, you touched me with your 
nail. 

190
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,040
This is assault. 
I'm calling 911. 

191
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:50,000
Right. 
Quick. 

192
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,360
What's the number for 911? 
As said, Homer Simpson, right? 

193
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,200
It was an assault, dragging 
them. 

194
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,960
How violent was that? 
Saint Paul and Selas were 

195
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:06,040
dragged in the marketplaces and 
then they misled the magistrate,

196
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,480
the lawyers saying these men are
troubling our city because they 

197
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,960
are Jews. 
So that's racist. 

198
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,480
So race, look at this racism. 
This is this is the year 10, 

199
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:26,360
maybe AD9, 5AD These men are 
Jews. 

200
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,520
They are causing trouble, right?
Look at the contrast between the

201
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,840
the demon that was in this girl 
and the evil businessman, this 

202
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,680
con artist who's making money 
through this evil false God. 

203
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,480
The demon report referred to 
Paul and Selas as servants of 

204
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,240
the Most High. 
This man, this con says they are

205
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,320
disturbing our city. 
The demon says they are 

206
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680
proclaiming to you the way of 
salvation. 

207
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,320
How did the demons know this? 
Well, demons are the angels, the

208
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,920
fallen angels. 
Well, the Angel knew Jesus and 

209
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,640
the angels saw Jesus. 
He knew, but this man didn't. 

210
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,320
This con man said they are 
advocating customs that are not 

211
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:21,520
lawful for us to adopt. 
You know, sometimes maybe it is 

212
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:27,800
worthwhile to listen to a person
who is not in the right, you 

213
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,720
know, is not agreeing with you. 
Sometimes maybe it's even good 

214
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,280
to, you know, take heed to 
someone who you know, maybe has 

215
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,560
no relationship with God, you 
know, maybe does not read the 

216
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:45,280
Bible much, you know, doesn't 
attend the church much. 

217
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,680
And this is this goes for me 
too. 

218
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Just take heed. 
I'm not saying agree with take 

219
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:55,560
heed and not follow the 
footsteps, but what they say is 

220
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,560
true. 
What the demon was saying is 

221
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,360
true, but then the demon wasn't 
holy. 

222
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400
That's why the demon wasn't 
doing it for the right mode. 

223
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,160
That's why he was being he was 
being rebuked and that's why 

224
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Jesus didn't let the demons 
speak because through this 

225
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,680
there's deception. 
We have to be very careful too, 

226
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,440
right? 
The common says these people are

227
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,880
advocating customs that are law 
unlawful. 

228
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
We we shouldn't be doing them. 
It's greed. 

229
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,360
And it was all because what 
happened? 

230
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,400
The finances were cut. 
Greed one Timothy 610 But the 

231
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,440
root of all evil is the love of 
money. 

232
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,320
He didn't care about his God who
was put to shame, who was 

233
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,560
exposed. 
He didn't care about that. 

234
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Just greed, anger, right? 
When you have religious debate, 

235
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,480
interfaith, religious debate 
interfaith, not ecumenical 

236
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,880
Interfaith, even ecumenical 
ecumenism has to be, you know, 

237
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,880
we have to tread carefully in 
ecumenism as well, right? 

238
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
But let's not go there. 
Let's go into faith first. 

239
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,920
When you're talking to our 
friends, the Muslims, and you 

240
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,240
prove to them, what do they 
start doing? 

241
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,760
They start being aggressive. 
And if they had the opportunity,

242
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,200
they would do what their book is
telling them to do. 

243
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,960
Or you talk to an atheist, or 
you talk to someone who is, who 

244
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,200
just doesn't, has no 
relationship with God, right? 

245
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,720
It's all because of greed. 
It's all because of pride. 

246
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,600
It's all because of anger and 
hatred. 

247
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,640
That's why the world is where it
is now, beloved. 

248
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,480
What's more done astonishing is 
what the magistrates do. 

249
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,920
It says that they tore their 
garments now. 

250
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,680
It says they toured St. 
Paul's and Silas's gun, but in 

251
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,360
the Shippow version says that 
they tore their garments. 

252
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,320
Them too, and they commanded 
them to scorch them. 

253
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,480
Bells ringing. 
There should be bells ringing, 

254
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,160
right? 
Bell ringing. 

255
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600
Time now. 
Matthew 2665. 

256
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,680
Mark 1463. 
The high priest Caiaphas tore 

257
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,640
his clothes, his robe upon 
hearing Jesus identifying 

258
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,760
himself as the Son of God. 
Rightly so he is, It's the 

259
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,120
truth. 
He is the truth. 

260
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,600
So what? 
He said his truth, Caiaphas 

261
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,480
toss, he tears his clothes, His 
robe for truth. 

262
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,240
The Majesty's tear their robe 
for lies. 

263
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Look at the extent they are 
going. 

264
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Because that evil God was 
exposed, that demon and the 

265
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,920
financial gains were disrupted. 
They scorched them with whips. 

266
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,280
More bells. 
Those who read their Bibles. 

267
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,040
Matthew 2726 Then he released 
Barabba. 

268
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,440
This is Pilate to them and 
scorched Jesus. 

269
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,440
Exactly. 
More more belts should be going 

270
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,880
off. 
John 1518. 

271
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,280
And if the world hates you, know
that it hated you hated me 

272
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,440
before you. 
If they do to the green branch, 

273
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,760
what will they do to the dried 
up? 

274
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,680
That means if they did to me 
what they're doing to me, what 

275
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,160
are they going to going to do to
you? 

276
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,599
And this is happening. 
So the, the warnings of Jesus 

277
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:22,400
weren't just just, you know, a 
few words just to fill up the, 

278
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,599
the verse and the chapter. 
No, they were thrown in prison. 

279
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,360
And you know, Jesus was held in 
custody overnight in the high 

280
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:34,120
priest's house for approximately
6 to 8 hours until they dragged 

281
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:37,280
him. 
They dragged him as well through

282
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:43,880
the marketplaces to crucify him.
Wow, they really followed the 

283
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,280
footsteps of Jesus. 
This is Christianity, beloved, 

284
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,800
and the keeper of the prison to 
keep them so secure that he put 

285
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:58,320
them in the inner jail, inner 
inner cell and he bound their 

286
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,240
feet that they would not, they 
would not flee. 

287
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400
All right. 
Who else did they put as a God 

288
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,760
when Jesus was put in the tomb? 
They came and said, you know 

289
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,160
what this deceiver, they said to
Pilot, this deceiver would say 

290
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,200
that I would resurrect on the 
third day. 

291
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,560
See, they remembered this, but 
they didn't take heed. 

292
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Again, they did not take heed. 
They were too worried about 

293
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,600
their positions, about their 
authority, you know, about them 

294
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,080
being knowing and Pharisee. 
I, we are, we are different. 

295
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,760
We know you don't know. 
They didn't take it. 

296
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,560
They're they're they're quoting 
scripture. 

297
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:45,120
This deceiver said that on the 
third day he will rise. 

298
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,960
Now let's be careful that, you 
know, his disciples don't come 

299
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,040
and steal his body. 
And today they think to date, 

300
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,760
they think that Jesus body is 
stolen where it is know it. 

301
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,840
You know, when you have this 
argument, you say, OK, show it. 

302
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Where is it? 
Where is it? 

303
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480
You know, they become 
aggressive, arrogant, and they 

304
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,560
start being, you know, 
disrespectful, right? 

305
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,920
So what does Pilate say? 
You have God, You can't put 

306
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,760
gods. 
So Jesus was not bound by death.

307
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,440
No, not bound by death. 
No, no, Jesus gave himself to 

308
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:25,480
death and there were gods so 
that they would his body would 

309
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,600
not be stolen, but he was 
resurrected. 

310
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,600
Praise and glory be to his name.
He was resurrected. 

311
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,080
All this, beloved, all this 
because of exposing false gods, 

312
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,160
evil, intense and wicked 
motives. 

313
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,600
Don't be angry. 
Don't start planning your 

314
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,680
revenge when you are exposed, 
whatever it may be, even if it's

315
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,600
evil, even if it's evil, 
immorality when it's exposed, 

316
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,240
don't start finding excuses to 
prove that that is wrong. 

317
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,840
No, no, it's not wrong. 
When it's from the Holy 

318
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Scriptures, when it's, it's just
common sense. 

319
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,480
It's evident in history, in the 
lives of a life of mankind. 

320
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,600
It's evident. 
You can't go against it. 

321
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Don't become arrogant, ignorant.
Don't become, you know, begin to

322
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,680
assault and insult. 
Step back and think about it 

323
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,080
again. 
This, these, these masters 

324
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,880
should have stood back and said,
let's, let's examine what just 

325
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,720
happened. 
The same thing happened to the 

326
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520
high priest and the priest and 
the Pharisees that, you know, 

327
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,760
the blind man from his mother's 
womb was made, healed. 

328
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,160
Christ actually made eyeballs. 
They call them eyeballs. 

329
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,080
Yeah, eyeballs. 
I don't know the, the, the 

330
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,320
optomical liturgy or, or, or 
terminology. 

331
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,680
He didn't have any eyeballs. 
That's why he spat on the 

332
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560
ground. 
I am your fashioner. 

333
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,720
I fashioned you. 
I am the God. 

334
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,360
And he made eyes and they said, 
oh, he's not adhering to Moses's

335
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:09,160
laws. 
They look at the the miracle, 

336
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,840
look at the miracle. 
Oh, he healed on the Sabbath. 

337
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,000
We become very Pharisitical. 
We become like these masters at 

338
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:29,520
times when Stephen reveals 
proves exposes my evil, my 

339
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,480
wrongdoing, my foolishness. 
And if I truly fear God and I 

340
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,440
love the Lord, I should step 
back and say let me think about 

341
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,480
it. 
I know yes, it's just a you 

342
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,560
know, it's it's inhumanity. 
It's our human instinct. 

343
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,960
It's just a it's just a human 
thing to quickly put up our God 

344
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,600
right. 
OK, but then again, let's not 

345
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,000
use our guards too quickly, put 
them up, but then slowly drop 

346
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,320
them and think about it, because
then you can go to such an 

347
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,120
extreme where you can cause a 
lot of damage to yourself, to 

348
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,440
others. 
This is how deaths have been. 

349
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,120
You know, you're, you hear a 
story. 

350
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Man shoots his wife and his 
children because his grand, his,

351
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,720
his mother-in-law said something
he didn't like. 

352
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,480
Now, if you go back and examine 
and I'm not saying that, you 

353
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,880
know, maybe the mother-in-law 
was correct. 

354
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,760
Maybe your mother-in-law was 
exposing your evil. 

355
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320
And look at look at to what 
extreme this man's gone. 

356
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,760
He shoots his wife and his 
children, he kills them. 

357
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:41,440
He's rotting, rotting in prison.
That's how the demons work, 

358
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,440
beloved. 
Look, the demon was exposed, the

359
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,240
demon was expelled, and yet, and
yet this man, the demon worked 

360
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,840
through this man as well, 
because the demon did not stop. 

361
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:58,120
And again, take heed to what 
that name was in the name of 

362
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,360
Jesus Christ and in only in one 
name. 

363
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:05,560
Beloved, let me tell you, and I 
always say this, you can stand 

364
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,280
before a demon and rebuke him in
the name of Muhammad. 

365
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Nothing's going to happen. 
He'll actually laugh. 

366
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,560
He'll chuckle at you. 
You can stand before the demon 

367
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,760
and Satan and rebuke him in the 
name of Vishnu. 

368
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,400
He will chuckle at you. 
You can stand and rebuke the the

369
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,320
the demon or the the, the, the 
Satan. 

370
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,280
In the name of Buddha, in the 
name of Rajneesh, in the name of

371
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:37,240
Krishna, in the name of any 
other gods that are out there or

372
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,240
those that are seen as gods or 
as saviors. 

373
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,680
The demons chuckle. 
The demons only shutter in the 

374
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,440
name when hear they when they 
hear the name Jesus Christ. 

375
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,320
And we pray that when the person
that hears the name of Jesus 

376
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:05,120
Christ and is rebuked in one way
and is convicted that they come 

377
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,320
back and say who is this Jesus 
Christ? 

378
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,880
Tell me about him. 
Because only through Jesus 

379
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Christ is there salvation. 
The demon proclaimed this, you 

380
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,800
know, isn't it? 
Isn't it annoying now? 

381
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,160
Isn't it so annoying now, so 
frustrating now that there are 

382
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,200
Christians, there are the man of
the cloth, whether it's white, 

383
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,480
red or black, now claiming that 
there are other ways through 

384
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,040
salvation, other ways except 
Jesus Christ, and yet this demon

385
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,880
is putting them to shame. 
Read the scriptures, read the 

386
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,440
scriptures. 
The demons are saying, 

387
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,520
proclaiming these men are 
teaching you, proclaiming you 

388
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,280
the way of salvation, the right 
way of salvation, being rebuked.

389
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,080
But that's why Paul allowed him 
to go on, allowed the demon. 

390
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,960
He had authority, yell 
authority. 

391
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
You know, sometimes when you're 
in an argument and you see a 

392
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,760
little child come and speak and 
you see the real little child is

393
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,880
truly rebuking the person that 
is so stubborn, you just let the

394
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,600
child speak. 
Yeah. 

395
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Go, go, keep going, keep going. 
What did you say? 

396
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,680
What did you say? 
Do you see? 

397
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,680
This child knows, but you don't.
This child is more wiser than 

398
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,680
you, right? 
Some. 

399
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,760
And that's why Paul let the 
demon speak. 

400
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,120
And he was all divinely 
inspired. 

401
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:21,400
Praise and glory be to Christ's 
name. 

402
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:31,480
The demon knows proclaimed that 
these men preaching Jesus Christ

403
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:39,440
is only the way. 
Yet today in Christendom, those 

404
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,520
who claim Jesus Christ to be 
their Lord, those who preach the

405
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,040
Lord Jesus Christ, those who go 
up the pulpit and speak, now 

406
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,680
they're proclaiming that there 
are many other ways to God 

407
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,280
except Jesus Christ. 
You blasphemer, you black, 

408
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:02,040
whoever you may be, you 
blasphemer, go and learn from 

409
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,000
the demon. 
Go and learn from this demon. 

410
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,400
And, and if you if you don't 
accept this as being true fact, 

411
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,280
an event that actually occurred,
well, then you know what? 

412
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Don't dare preach Scripture. 
Don't dare open the Scripture. 

413
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,360
Don't even hold it, don't even 
have it because you're saying, 

414
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,520
oh, you know what? 
This didn't happen. 

415
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,720
You know, when you see the 
stories about, you know, the, 

416
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,240
the, the, the, the Ninevites 
and, and Jonah, you know, it's 

417
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,920
just, it's just something, why, 
why are you even referring to 

418
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:41,120
that through the scriptures? 
If you have doubts and you speak

419
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,800
about the truth of what's in the
Holy Scriptures, why are you 

420
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,400
even reading them? 
Don't because you're bringing 

421
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,400
more condemnation upon yourself.
You're becoming this man. 

422
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,440
You're becoming this master. 
But no, beloved, we have power. 

423
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,880
There is power in the name of 
Jesus Christ, not only to cast 

424
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,480
out demons. 
There is power in the name of 

425
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,920
Jesus Christ to rebuke. 
You may be rebuked in this 

426
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,280
episode. 
I don't know. 

427
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,160
God knows. 
You may be rebuked. 

428
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,440
You may be convicted. 
You may be put to shame. 

429
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,680
It's OK. 
That's not the end of the world.

430
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Don't. 
Don't you know, throw in the 

431
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,920
towel? 
No, no, no. 

432
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,960
What do I do? 
Well, examine yourself even 

433
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,600
more. 
Begin to pray to the Lord. 

434
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,040
Maybe you seek some counsel from
your spiritual counselor, your 

435
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,040
priest. 
If it's serious, offer your fast

436
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,720
to be absolved and start walking
the path of reconciliation, 

437
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,280
repentance back to the Father 
just as the prodigal boy or the 

438
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,720
prodigal son did. 
Praise and glory be to Jesus 

439
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,480
name who is the risen Lord. 
Praise be to his name now and at

440
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,400
all times and forever. 
Amen.
