What if ancient spiritual forces still linger in our modern world, subtly influencing our lives and beliefs? Join us on a journey through the complex intersection of spirituality, culture, and history with the inspiration drawn from the book of Exodus. Through personal experiences in Panama, where a unique blend of Roman Catholicism and witchcraft creates spiritual bondage, we uncover the cultural narratives that bind individuals in a cycle of spiritual entrapment. Discover how these cultural practices mirror the spiritual struggles faced by Moses and the Israelites, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and divine intervention.

Dive into the biblical narrative of Moses, as we dissect his journey from Egyptian royalty to a humble shepherd and how this unlikely path prepared him for his divine mission. Explore the spiritual power dynamics at play in ancient Egypt, where Moses and Aaron confronted Pharaoh's magicians in a riveting battle of faith versus dark forces. Modern spiritual warfare stories, like a chilling encounter with demonic entities in Rome, serve as a reminder of the ongoing battle against spiritual adversaries and the need for vigilance and preparedness in faith.

We wrap up by analyzing the significant events and theological implications of the plagues of Egypt, where each plague systematically dismantled Egyptian deities, showcasing God's unmatched power. Reflect on the enduring legacy of these narratives, learning from historical figures like Martin Luther, who challenged institutional bondage through the Protestant Reformation. This episode invites believers to embrace strategic spiritual warfare, empowering them to influence change through prayer and steadfast faith amidst worldly challenges.

00:00:00.441 --> 00:00:00.741
Well.

00:00:00.741 --> 00:00:03.649
Praise God, praise God, praise God.

00:00:03.649 --> 00:00:05.113
Thank you, jesus.

00:00:05.113 --> 00:00:55.273
We are in the book of Exodus because we are looking at we started this last week the attack of the Antichrist against the seed and specifically in this instance, we are looking at how this attack is manifested against the seed when it comes from a culture, a government, a kingdom, a people group who are completely bound and controlled by institutional witchcraft.

00:00:55.273 --> 00:00:59.844
Let me just give you an example.

00:00:59.844 --> 00:01:04.353
I lived in the Republic of Panama for almost 20 years.

00:01:04.353 --> 00:01:13.302
I lived in the Republic of Panama for almost 20 years.

00:01:13.302 --> 00:01:13.621
Amen.

00:01:13.822 --> 00:01:33.328
The ruling religion in the Republic of Panama was a form of Roman Catholicism that, not in my opinion, but in other people's opinion, was the best representative of what Catholicism was like when the Protestant Reformation occurred in Europe.

00:01:33.328 --> 00:02:00.466
It was a form of Catholicism that was mixed almost half and half, if not more, with satanic witchcraft, with spells, with idolatry, with there's just no way of telling it was this mishmash of stuff that all it did was keep people in bondage.

00:02:00.466 --> 00:02:13.858
I used to minister to a bunch of men who were drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals, perverts, whatever you want.

00:02:13.858 --> 00:02:19.412
I mean, they were just the oddest assortment of people that you'd ever want to see.

00:02:19.412 --> 00:02:29.253
Amen, and they would come up to me and they would tell me about all these strange demonic things that are happening to me.

00:02:29.253 --> 00:02:31.044
You know you're going to find this is funny.

00:02:31.044 --> 00:02:35.062
Ok, probably told you this story before you know.

00:02:35.062 --> 00:02:36.626
They would tell me all this stuff is happening.

00:02:36.626 --> 00:02:42.125
I said take off your pants, like what I said I want.

00:02:42.125 --> 00:02:43.811
I want to see what color your underwear is.

00:02:43.811 --> 00:02:49.038
Like what I said, I want to see what color your underwear is.

00:02:49.038 --> 00:03:09.104
And they would all have red underwear on Because they were convinced that if they wore red underwear it would ward off the evil spirits that their mother-in-law or would-be mother-in-law or girlfriend's mother was casting spells on them to get them to marry their daughter or be a better husband or whatever it was.

00:03:09.104 --> 00:03:15.804
And all they were doing was throwing these, these evil spells on them and driving them crazy.

00:03:15.804 --> 00:03:22.325
I said the first thing we're going to do is you're going to go into a place where it's where it's decent.

00:03:22.325 --> 00:03:24.091
You're going to take those things off.

00:03:24.091 --> 00:03:25.675
And we're going to go into a place where it's decent.

00:03:25.675 --> 00:03:27.020
You're going to take those things off and we're going to burn them.

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:30.747
You know, they'd almost go into apoplectic fits.

00:03:30.747 --> 00:03:32.312
You know what am I going to do?

00:03:32.312 --> 00:03:35.406
I'd say we're going to put on Christ, we're going to put on the Holy Ghost.

00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:37.645
I was a wild man in those days.

00:03:37.645 --> 00:03:39.931
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:03:39.931 --> 00:03:42.907
But the whole country was like that.

00:03:42.907 --> 00:03:51.436
But the whole country was like that, given over to idolatry.

00:03:51.436 --> 00:04:03.620
But when a country, when a people group is given over to institutional witchcraft, that means witchcraft permeates the society.

00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:09.210
Everywhere you turn, every street you go down, there's a fortune teller here, there's a fortune teller here.

00:04:09.210 --> 00:04:10.054
There's a Ouija board, here there's some.

00:04:10.054 --> 00:04:11.539
You know, there's something going on here.

00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:15.706
There's going on here, everywhere you turn.

00:04:15.706 --> 00:04:21.014
There was listen, when I lived in Panama City.

00:04:21.014 --> 00:04:40.300
In Panama City, a city of one and a half million people Okay, 500,000 people almost a third of those people were addicted to cocaine.

00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:44.047
You're not going to have meaningful altar calls.

00:04:44.047 --> 00:04:46.341
You know, when one out of three people it's just racked out of their brains on Coke.

00:04:46.341 --> 00:04:55.894
You know, hallelujah, egypt in the days of Moses.

00:04:56.956 --> 00:05:29.934
We talked about this last time how Moses was trained in all of the, all of the skills, the magic, the witchcraft of Egypt and had to go out into the wilderness under the man of God, the high priest of Midian named Jethro, and have 40 years of Egypt purged out of him Amen, so that he could find his way to the burning bush and receive a message from God.

00:05:29.934 --> 00:05:33.365
Now you think you live a strange life.

00:05:33.365 --> 00:05:34.288
Amen.

00:05:34.288 --> 00:05:36.312
Just imagine what it was like for Moses.

00:05:36.312 --> 00:05:50.394
He was the next thing to the king for 40 years, gets kicked out of Egypt, then goes lives in the desert and now he's the next thing to the high priest of God who lives in Midian.

00:05:50.394 --> 00:05:59.363
Amen, and out of that, all of that leads him to a, to a one moment.

00:05:59.363 --> 00:06:07.004
After 80 years of living, he's not even got started yet.

00:06:07.004 --> 00:06:08.562
This is God.

00:06:08.562 --> 00:06:11.526
I keep telling you you're not done yet.

00:06:11.526 --> 00:06:14.100
Moses didn't get started.

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:19.386
Until he was your age, I didn't get a single amen.

00:06:19.386 --> 00:06:26.264
I don't want glory to God, hallelujah.

00:06:28.548 --> 00:06:32.574
Moses lived 80 years to get to one spot on the planet.

00:06:32.574 --> 00:06:34.742
Think about that.

00:06:34.742 --> 00:06:44.468
He lived 80 years as the top dog in Egypt and the top dog in Midian, whatever that means, you know.

00:06:44.468 --> 00:06:49.663
But and all of that, all of that in terms of God, was just an accelerant.

00:06:49.663 --> 00:07:21.033
It was just a way to push him to get to one spot, and that was to stand on the holy ground that was before the burning bush and to hear a series of commands that was going to change his life, amen, and change the destiny of God's people, israel, and change the destiny of the planet, because out of this womb called Israel was going to come a deliverer.

00:07:21.033 --> 00:07:27.161
Hallelujah to God, thank you Jesus.

00:07:28.562 --> 00:07:30.884
But the seed was going to be opposed.

00:07:30.884 --> 00:07:33.545
And how was the seed going to be opposed?

00:07:33.545 --> 00:07:39.389
Because the womb of Israel was held in bondage to Egypt.

00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:46.913
Now, when we say this, we think that they were slaves, because we've all seen the Ten Commandments right and we've seen.

00:07:46.913 --> 00:07:47.773
You know how they were.

00:07:47.773 --> 00:07:52.776
But you know, that's probably not quite how it happened.

00:07:52.776 --> 00:07:56.458
Might have been in part like that, but that's probably not quite how it happened.

00:07:56.458 --> 00:08:06.605
Because Israel lived in a place called Goshen Glory Hallelujah.

00:08:06.605 --> 00:08:09.632
Now, what am I trying to say here?

00:08:09.632 --> 00:08:15.103
This morning already, that Israel was the womb of the seed.

00:08:15.103 --> 00:08:21.129
But the womb of the seed was in bondage to institutional, institutional witchcraft.

00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:41.605
An institutional witchcraft had worked to shape and change the mindset of God's people, amen, to the point that when they got out of Egypt, a great number of them continually wanted to go back to Egypt.

00:08:43.168 --> 00:08:52.712
Because we said last week not only do you have to get the people out of Egypt physically, but you have to get Egypt out of them spiritually.

00:08:52.712 --> 00:09:02.970
It's not enough to get a drug addict out of the environment in which he's doing drugs.

00:09:02.970 --> 00:09:08.076
You have to get the addiction out, which is a spirit.

00:09:08.076 --> 00:09:13.511
You have to get the addiction out or else they will go back to where they were.

00:09:13.511 --> 00:09:17.946
How many times have you dealt with this situation?

00:09:18.407 --> 00:09:21.721
You get somebody that is a drunk and they get saved.

00:09:21.721 --> 00:09:31.912
They immediately want to go back to the bar and get all their buddies saved, but they haven't got yet a deliverance from what got them in that mess.

00:09:31.912 --> 00:09:39.130
They just got a temporary washing and a moment of exhilaration and got saved.

00:09:39.130 --> 00:09:45.650
Okay, I'm not knocking that, but it's not time for you to be an evangelist to the bars.

00:09:45.650 --> 00:09:49.769
Save that for somebody else that doesn't have your baggage.

00:09:49.769 --> 00:10:02.589
They're not going to listen to you just because you're a drunk and you got saved, no more than if you were a wife beater and you got saved and you went back to minister to wife beaters.

00:10:02.589 --> 00:10:11.932
All they're going to do is drag you and put you into one of those t-shirts and get you back in there bumping on your wife.

00:10:13.701 --> 00:10:15.125
This doesn't make any sense.

00:10:15.125 --> 00:10:18.543
Hallelujah, I digress.

00:10:18.543 --> 00:10:20.208
Glory to God.

00:10:20.208 --> 00:10:22.423
Let's get to the text.

00:10:22.423 --> 00:10:23.990
How about that?

00:10:23.990 --> 00:10:28.221
Amen.

00:10:28.221 --> 00:10:28.722
So you know this.

00:10:28.743 --> 00:10:31.028
I'm not going to read the whole story to you, because you know these stories.

00:10:31.028 --> 00:10:46.932
Amen, moses and Aaron were both sent to Egypt to deal with Pharaoh, amen, and get Pharaoh to basically agree to set these people, to set the womb of Jesus free.

00:10:46.932 --> 00:10:54.645
Well, you can just imagine how Antichrist is going to deal with that.

00:10:54.645 --> 00:11:02.783
Hello, I'm talking about a country that is the number one military power on the planet.

00:11:02.783 --> 00:11:06.712
It is the number one economic power on the planet.

00:11:06.712 --> 00:11:13.000
They have one of the great rivers on the planet that runs right through the middle of the country.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:21.934
It brings all of the riches of Central Africa into the ports and processing centers in Egypt.

00:11:21.934 --> 00:11:26.791
You can't imagine the riches that were going on in those places.

00:11:26.791 --> 00:11:31.730
You can't imagine the extravagance of the buildings and all of the things that were going on.

00:11:32.030 --> 00:11:50.428
And this was totally dominated by the spirit of Antichrist and the spirit of Jezebel, working right alongside a witchcraft culture so that it could squeeze the destiny out of the womb of Israel.

00:11:50.428 --> 00:11:55.791
All they had to do was corrupt one family.

00:11:55.791 --> 00:12:03.908
If they could find that family, well, if you can't find the family, we're just going to corrupt the whole womb.

00:12:03.908 --> 00:12:13.659
Well, if you can't find the family, we're just going to corrupt the whole womb, and Moses was sent with Aaron.

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:25.340
They were sent to free the womb out of the bondage of witchcraft and the spirit of Antichrist.

00:12:25.340 --> 00:12:30.831
See, you've watched the Ten Commandments so many times that you think the only reason that Moses and Aaron went there was to get them physically free.

00:12:30.831 --> 00:12:38.231
If that were the case, folks, they wouldn't have had to march around Sinai for 40 years.

00:12:38.231 --> 00:12:42.221
That wasn't God's intent.

00:12:42.221 --> 00:12:52.916
God's intent was to get Egypt out of them so he could take them into a land that was populated by giants and they wouldn't be contaminated by that.

00:12:52.916 --> 00:13:01.032
Not to mention the fact that he had to get Jesus out of Egypt.

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:12.674
Out of Egypt, I have called my son, exodus 14, 19.

00:13:12.674 --> 00:13:16.379
Nope, I'm sorry, I'm not there yet.

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:21.379
Exodus 7, 3.

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:25.716
Exodus 7, 3.

00:13:25.716 --> 00:13:32.620
This is what he told Moses and Aaron, and this was the game plan of God.

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:45.339
I will harden Pharaoh's heart and multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, but Pharaoh will not heed you.

00:13:45.339 --> 00:13:46.600
So God knew exactly what was going on.

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:56.615
He was sending Moses and Aaron back into what now was the seat of Babylonian power.

00:13:56.615 --> 00:14:11.508
Babylon had somewhat diminished, partially because what God had done with Nimrod and with the cities on the plain amen through Abraham and all of that.

00:14:11.508 --> 00:14:29.775
Now, 400 and some years later, that power had shifted over into Egypt and Egypt was now the most powerful country on the planet and they were ruled by an extreme form of Babylonian worship.

00:14:33.561 --> 00:14:56.994
Pharaoh, not he Jew so that I may lay my hand on Egypt and bring my armies and my people, the children of Israel, pharaoh, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

00:14:56.994 --> 00:14:58.701
So this is the game plan.

00:14:58.701 --> 00:15:01.504
Doesn't matter what Pharaoh does.

00:15:01.504 --> 00:15:11.553
Pharaoh here is the pinpoint precise human representative of the spirit of Antichrist.

00:15:11.553 --> 00:15:14.136
Doesn't matter what he does.

00:15:14.136 --> 00:15:16.123
This is the game plan.

00:15:16.123 --> 00:15:37.980
Even if he doesn't heed you, doesn't pay any attention to you, I'm going to lay my hand on Egypt, I'm going to bring out my armies, I'm going to bring out my people, I'm going to bring out my children and I'm going to bring them out of Egypt by great judgments and by signs and by wonders.

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:42.631
And I'm going to stretch out my hand on Egypt and I'm going to bring my people out.

00:15:42.631 --> 00:15:50.530
Now, does that sound like a plan that sounds a plan that doesn't sound like.

00:15:50.591 --> 00:15:57.341
God just woke up one day and said oh my goodness, I'm that, my children are in bondage and I just didn't even know this was happening.

00:15:57.341 --> 00:15:58.686
Well, of course he knew it was happening.

00:15:58.686 --> 00:16:01.480
He told abraham 450 years ago it was going to happen.

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.365
He knew it was happening.

00:16:03.365 --> 00:16:06.461
He knew it was happening the whole 400 years they were in there.

00:16:06.461 --> 00:16:08.225
This is not news.

00:16:08.225 --> 00:16:10.171
Nothing is is a newsflash to God.

00:16:10.171 --> 00:16:26.712
I'm telling you, if you ever start praying to God like you're his ace reporter and you're giving him a newsflash, you better change the way you're praying, because he does not need you to give him a report of what the current situation is.

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:34.131
Now we're turning it over to Pete, who's on the ground, and Pete's going to give us an up-to-date newsflash of what is really happening on the.

00:16:34.131 --> 00:16:36.707
Pete, tell us what's really happening over there today.

00:16:36.707 --> 00:16:38.807
God does not need you to do that.

00:16:38.807 --> 00:16:44.226
If he needs to do that, he's got angels, he's got ministering spirits.

00:16:44.226 --> 00:16:45.884
You do not need to be that person.

00:16:45.884 --> 00:16:53.441
Amen, amen, glory to God.

00:16:53.441 --> 00:16:56.749
You need to be, you need to be interceding with God that how do you want to change this situation?

00:16:56.749 --> 00:16:58.513
I don't care what the situation is.

00:16:58.513 --> 00:17:00.183
How do you want it to be.

00:17:00.183 --> 00:17:06.560
Then I'm going to pray that way Glory to God, hallelujah, glory to God, hallelujah.

00:17:06.560 --> 00:17:16.483
So in the time that we've got, we're going to look at four miracles.

00:17:16.483 --> 00:17:17.306
Everybody says four.

00:17:17.306 --> 00:17:20.451
I thought there was 10 plagues.

00:17:20.451 --> 00:17:29.968
We're going to group the 10 plagues plus the preliminary show-off move into one big miracle.

00:17:29.968 --> 00:17:41.489
Okay, because this was God showing Egypt who he is and who they are not.

00:17:44.074 --> 00:18:01.135
Okay, if you're ever dealing with this spirit, particularly the spirit of Jezebel and all the witchcraft and all that stuff, it is always going to come down to a high noon kind of a situation.

00:18:01.135 --> 00:18:06.692
There's going to be somebody in the crowd that's got some power.

00:18:06.692 --> 00:18:10.849
Amen, they don't, they don't, they don't fast.

00:18:10.849 --> 00:18:16.893
I don't mean to say they don't fast, they do fast, but they don't fast just to be fasting.

00:18:16.893 --> 00:18:18.242
They fast to get power.

00:18:18.242 --> 00:18:20.867
They do spells to get power.

00:18:20.867 --> 00:18:23.693
They call on demons to get power.

00:18:23.693 --> 00:18:26.567
Amen, they're not messing around.

00:18:26.567 --> 00:18:29.880
Sarah ran into one in New Orleans.

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.028
He says I know how to heal the sick.

00:18:32.028 --> 00:18:36.912
I just get that devil that's causing the sickness to come out.

00:18:36.912 --> 00:18:41.717
But there's other devils in there.

00:18:41.717 --> 00:18:50.268
I can leave them and they will fool you into thinking that you've just done a great thing because you didn't clean out the house.

00:18:50.268 --> 00:18:51.872
I know how to do that.

00:18:51.872 --> 00:18:57.268
There's always somebody like that around.

00:18:57.268 --> 00:19:02.233
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:19:02.294 --> 00:19:07.392
So the first miracle has to do with the plagues and the judgments.

00:19:07.392 --> 00:19:18.669
They're always called plagues, but really what they were were judgments, and they weren't judgments of the Egyptian people, they were judgments of the Egyptian gods.

00:19:18.669 --> 00:19:26.183
Let's go on Miracle number one, the judgment of false gods.

00:19:26.183 --> 00:19:41.750
The first thing that happened when Aaron and Moses went to see Pharaoh.

00:19:41.750 --> 00:19:45.041
They said let my people go, pharaoh goes.

00:19:45.041 --> 00:19:46.026
Why should I do that?

00:19:46.026 --> 00:19:50.487
Because God says so Well, who's your God?

00:19:50.487 --> 00:19:56.689
And they threw down their rods, their staffs, amen.

00:19:56.689 --> 00:19:57.329
And what happened?

00:19:57.329 --> 00:19:59.840
Their staffs turned into snakes.

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:14.588
Pretty impressive, except that Janus and Jambres, the two primary magicians in Egypt's court, took their staffs and did the same thing.

00:20:14.588 --> 00:20:17.886
So so far it's a tie.

00:20:17.886 --> 00:20:24.684
For those of you who are there keeping score at home, it's Moses and Aaron two.

00:20:24.684 --> 00:20:29.303
And Janice and Jambres two, amen.

00:20:29.303 --> 00:20:31.550
Except what happens next?

00:20:31.550 --> 00:20:40.492
Moses and Aaron's snakes turned around and swallowed up the snakes that belonged to the magician sorcerers.

00:20:40.492 --> 00:20:43.622
Okay, and there you go.

00:20:43.622 --> 00:20:54.403
And for those spectators that are not trained in the details of how to do this, everybody's cheering for Moses and going yay, moses, and glory to God and hallelujah.

00:20:54.403 --> 00:20:58.492
But hey, when was the last time you changed a stick into a snake?

00:20:58.492 --> 00:21:05.606
Everybody said they got power.

00:21:05.606 --> 00:21:12.232
If you start thinking your enemy does not have power, he will eat your lunch.

00:21:16.580 --> 00:21:44.310
David was telling us this morning about these people that are digging for pre-Columbian excavations in Mexico, trying to find evidence of various and sundry things having to do with disproving that aliens exist and trying to prove that they are really fallen angels, and he said this guy that does this has been doing it and he says he gets prayed up, he binds devils.

00:21:44.310 --> 00:21:51.711
He knows that when he opens some of these things up, he's opening locked secrets and locked devils.

00:21:51.711 --> 00:22:03.631
Do you remember the time that the what was the one guy's name that you told me, the man that went down into the caverns of Rome?

00:22:03.631 --> 00:22:06.326
This is Groover, that guy.

00:22:06.326 --> 00:22:08.403
Glory to God.

00:22:08.403 --> 00:22:11.465
He went down to the caverns in some place.

00:22:11.465 --> 00:22:24.589
The Lord directed him to go and he went down a spiral staircase down they thought it was like a sewage entrance went down there and there's two angels sitting on a stone down in the basement of this place.

00:22:24.589 --> 00:22:27.923
They looked at him and said we've been expecting you.

00:22:27.923 --> 00:22:30.329
What took you long?

00:22:30.329 --> 00:22:31.853
And they weren't on our side.

00:22:31.853 --> 00:23:01.452
They were two devils that had been sitting on the place, that Paul was executed for 2,000 years to bind the outpouring of the apostolic anointing upon the planet and that man was sent to cast them out and release it.

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.388
When David told me this story a few years ago, first thing I'm crying like a baby.

00:23:06.388 --> 00:23:09.028
And the first thing I asked him is when did that happen?

00:23:09.028 --> 00:23:21.551
Because if it happened about in the late 80s and early 90s, that's exactly when the apostolic explosion began to take off.

00:23:21.551 --> 00:23:27.183
Are you hearing me?

00:23:27.183 --> 00:23:35.968
This stuff is serious business.

00:23:35.968 --> 00:23:38.873
So the first.

00:23:38.873 --> 00:23:39.875
So it goes on.

00:23:40.859 --> 00:23:42.324
It gets worse from here.

00:23:42.324 --> 00:23:43.366
Pharaoh kicks him out.

00:23:43.366 --> 00:23:50.064
Moses comes back, says let my people go.

00:23:50.064 --> 00:23:52.487
Pharaoh refuses.

00:23:52.487 --> 00:23:59.115
And so the first judgment is to turn the Nile River red with blood.

00:23:59.115 --> 00:24:07.965
Moses and Aaron touch the river with their rods and the river starts getting blood.

00:24:07.965 --> 00:24:15.788
The river turns, the canals turn, the pots turn, containers turn, everything that has the Nile River water in it turns to blood.

00:24:15.788 --> 00:24:17.792
Amen.

00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:28.721
Unfortunately, the two magicians and all of their buddies could do the same thing of their buddies could do the same thing, but this was a judgment.

00:24:28.721 --> 00:24:33.765
This was a judgment on the God of the Nile river.

00:24:33.765 --> 00:24:34.786
There was a God.

00:24:34.786 --> 00:24:35.405
His name was.

00:24:35.405 --> 00:24:38.867
I'm not going to try to remember all these names, it's just not important.

00:24:38.867 --> 00:24:40.710
You can find it If you want to look it up.

00:24:40.710 --> 00:24:48.614
But the God of the Nile river was being judged by taking life out of the river.

00:24:48.614 --> 00:24:56.660
If you remember the story, all of the fish that were of the river, if you remember the story, all of the fish that were in the river died.

00:24:56.660 --> 00:25:01.010
All of the plant life and everything else that was in the river died.

00:25:01.010 --> 00:25:16.332
It wasn't a living blood that was brought to the river, but it was a blood that brought a curse and it covered and it brought a judgment against the God of the Nile.

00:25:16.372 --> 00:25:26.626
The first, the first and perhaps one of the most important judgments was to judge the life force of Egypt, the life force of Egypt.

00:25:26.626 --> 00:25:40.997
Without the Nile River, egypt is a barren desert, but with the Nile River, it supports a vibrant civilization that lives almost exclusively on the banks of the Nile.

00:25:40.997 --> 00:25:43.059
And so what does God do?

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:54.895
He judges that God that sits on the Nile River and whom Egypt honored as a principal God over their country.

00:25:54.895 --> 00:25:56.744
Are you following this?

00:25:56.744 --> 00:26:07.855
Every plague, every judgment of the 10 is a judgment of one of the Egyptian principal gods, amen.

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:11.675
If you thought that God was just being arbitrary about how this thing?

00:26:11.675 --> 00:26:26.045
You didn't read your Bible, because in Exodus, the 12th chapter, in verse 12, it says I will pass through the land of Egypt and against all of the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment.

00:26:26.045 --> 00:26:27.183
This is God talking.

00:26:27.183 --> 00:26:29.721
He tells you right up front what's going to happen.

00:26:29.721 --> 00:26:36.269
He's going to execute judgment on their gods, hallelujah.

00:26:36.631 --> 00:26:40.099
The next thing is the plague of frogs.

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:43.203
Amen, you go.

00:26:43.203 --> 00:26:44.664
Well, what's that all about?

00:26:44.664 --> 00:26:45.726
I mean, why frogs?

00:26:45.726 --> 00:26:55.497
Because the goddess of birth was always pictured as a frog-headed woman.

00:26:55.497 --> 00:27:01.548
And so how is this judged?

00:27:01.548 --> 00:27:13.808
God brings a judgment on this woman, on this goddess who is the goddess of birth, a frog-headed woman, on this goddess who is the goddess of birth, a frog-headed woman, amen.

00:27:13.808 --> 00:27:20.890
But like the other situations, the Egyptian magicians could do the same thing.

00:27:20.890 --> 00:27:25.807
So so far it's a dead heat.

00:27:25.807 --> 00:27:42.971
But these gods are still judged, amen, until we get to the third, which is the plague of lice or of gnats.

00:27:42.971 --> 00:27:47.388
This was a judgment against the god of the desert.

00:27:47.388 --> 00:28:02.362
This was a judgment against the god of the desert, one of the major gods in their pantheon of gods, and this was the god of the desert, bible says.

00:28:04.143 --> 00:28:10.288
Now, the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice or gnats, but they could not.

00:28:10.288 --> 00:28:12.628
So there were lice on man and beast.

00:28:12.628 --> 00:28:15.171
Watch this.

00:28:15.171 --> 00:28:21.895
These are the henchmen of Antichrist and of Jezebel saying this to Pharaoh.

00:28:21.895 --> 00:28:23.596
Who is the type of Antichrist?

00:28:23.596 --> 00:28:36.398
The magician said to Pharaoh this is the finger of God, because we can't do this, we can't produce this kind of plague.

00:28:36.398 --> 00:28:40.145
Amen, this is the finger of God.

00:28:40.145 --> 00:28:41.808
But Pharaoh's heart grew hard.

00:28:41.808 --> 00:28:43.832
He did not heed them.

00:28:43.832 --> 00:28:45.194
That's what I've said before.

00:28:45.194 --> 00:28:57.759
You could stand out here in front of Jerry Chevrolet and raise the dead all day long and people wouldn't even stop to notice.

00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:01.938
He did not heed them, just as the Lord had said.

00:29:01.938 --> 00:29:04.082
Now, here's what you need to know.

00:29:04.102 --> 00:29:10.390
The second plague having to do with frogs was the last time the magicians were able to compete.

00:29:10.390 --> 00:29:13.363
They could not.

00:29:13.363 --> 00:29:22.201
From plague number three through plague number 10, they could not do what Moses could do.

00:29:22.201 --> 00:29:24.565
What does that mean?

00:29:24.565 --> 00:29:34.160
They have power, but their power is not unlimited and it is not infinite.

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:47.650
They have limits to what they can do and God just kept upping the power that he released to levels where they couldn't match it.

00:29:47.650 --> 00:29:55.287
That he released to levels where they couldn't match it, not even with the highest levels of fallen angels to support them.

00:29:55.287 --> 00:29:58.530
They could not match what God was doing.

00:29:58.530 --> 00:30:00.092
Are you hearing me?

00:30:00.092 --> 00:30:04.537
We didn't wait till nine for this outcome to be decided.

00:30:04.537 --> 00:30:08.903
This outcome was decided at level two.

00:30:08.903 --> 00:30:16.537
Level two was the last time they were able to report from three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, amen.

00:30:16.537 --> 00:30:18.340
They weren't even players on the court.

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:20.184
Oh, you're not hearing me?

00:30:20.184 --> 00:30:22.108
I said you're not hearing me.

00:30:22.108 --> 00:30:26.785
So we get freaked out when they can do stuff at lower levels.

00:30:26.785 --> 00:30:40.943
But if we could just get into a place where God's power was able to be unleashed and not even try to be matched, because they know they're flat up against it, amen.

00:30:41.305 --> 00:30:46.800
There wasn't anybody that challenged Elijah in the day that he built the altar before God.

00:30:46.800 --> 00:30:48.503
He said where is your God?

00:30:48.503 --> 00:30:49.826
Where is your God?

00:30:49.826 --> 00:30:51.147
Where is your God?

00:30:51.147 --> 00:30:52.289
Is he on vacation?

00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:53.771
Is he in the little God's room?

00:30:53.771 --> 00:30:54.693
I mean, where is he?

00:30:54.693 --> 00:31:02.919
That's what he said literally when is your God?

00:31:02.919 --> 00:31:03.861
Hallelujah.

00:31:03.861 --> 00:31:09.272
Well, if Baal be God, then worship him.

00:31:09.272 --> 00:31:13.550
But if Jehovah be God, then worship him.

00:31:13.550 --> 00:31:16.327
And fire came down from heaven.

00:31:16.327 --> 00:31:17.230
Amen.

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:22.031
The prophets of Baal tried to make it happen and they couldn't do anything about it.

00:31:22.031 --> 00:31:25.586
The only thing they could do was die on the spot.

00:31:25.586 --> 00:31:34.239
If we would just let God be God.

00:31:34.239 --> 00:31:40.224
This thing is not over, the enemy hasn't won.

00:31:40.224 --> 00:31:42.765
Quit thinking like this.

00:31:42.765 --> 00:31:43.902
Amen.

00:31:43.902 --> 00:31:48.101
Don't think like that, don't get into that box, amen.

00:31:48.442 --> 00:31:51.162
Sure, they've got power, they've got a lot of power.

00:31:51.162 --> 00:31:54.607
They control the entire economy on the planet.

00:31:54.607 --> 00:31:56.590
They entire.

00:31:56.590 --> 00:32:00.064
They control all of the weapon systems on the planet.

00:32:00.064 --> 00:32:29.766
If you think that, that these people are throwing things at each other, you know, like a bunch of monkeys throwing rocks, you know, and one side doesn't know what the other side's doing, really, that's what they want you to think, so that they can get companies to make more weapons, so that they can make more money and put countries into more debt.

00:32:29.766 --> 00:32:33.314
Hallelujah.

00:32:33.314 --> 00:32:35.904
The next one.

00:32:35.904 --> 00:32:37.486
The next plague was flies.

00:32:37.486 --> 00:32:47.528
Now here comes a series of things that happens from from from the fourth plague on that happened to Israel or happened to Egypt, but they don't happen to Israel.

00:32:47.528 --> 00:32:53.880
Fourth plague on that happened to Israel or happened to Egypt, but they don't happen to Israel.

00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.480
This is why it's important that we got Israel in Goshen, because over in Goshen these plagues are not happening.

00:33:00.300 --> 00:33:04.632
The plague number four was a plague of flies, and you know not.

00:33:04.632 --> 00:33:12.169
I'm not saying that these people are the smartest people in the world, but they had a society that was going on.

00:33:12.169 --> 00:33:18.253
But I mean, any culture that makes a god out of a fly has to be suspect.

00:33:18.253 --> 00:33:23.909
I mean, you know what are they thinking?

00:33:23.909 --> 00:33:26.989
But they had one and God judged it.

00:33:26.989 --> 00:33:29.248
I said they had one, one and God judged it.

00:33:29.248 --> 00:33:30.434
I said they had one and God judged it.

00:33:30.434 --> 00:33:34.949
Not only did he judge it, but their magicians couldn't duplicate it.

00:33:34.949 --> 00:33:40.666
And not only could they not duplicate it, but he kept Israel flyless.

00:33:40.666 --> 00:33:46.265
Those flies swarmed all over Egypt and not a one of them came into Goshen.

00:33:46.265 --> 00:33:49.840
You're not, and you know, and you don't think.

00:33:49.881 --> 00:33:59.539
The people on the ground saw this, israel saw it and Egypt saw it, because the people started saying, hey, why don't you just let these people go?

00:33:59.539 --> 00:34:03.205
This is getting to be a problem, amen.

00:34:03.205 --> 00:34:07.173
And Pharaoh kept digging in.

00:34:07.173 --> 00:34:08.541
He says I'm not gonna let him go.

00:34:09.202 --> 00:34:23.371
So the fifth, fifth, lot, fifth plague was a judgment against two gods who were always represented as cattle Amen.

00:34:23.371 --> 00:34:26.278
And so what was this one?

00:34:26.278 --> 00:34:28.224
This was a plague on the livestock.

00:34:28.224 --> 00:34:39.751
All of the livestock in Egypt became diseased the cattle, the goats, the camels, the sheep, anything that was kept as livestock, amen.

00:34:39.751 --> 00:34:51.083
The water buffalo, anything that was kept as livestock became diseased, because these two gods were always represented as cattle, and so God judged them.

00:34:51.083 --> 00:34:56.159
But it didn't happen to Israel.

00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.077
It didn't happen in Goshen.

00:34:59.532 --> 00:35:07.878
Listen, you could walk right up to Goshen's border and all of the cattle on one side would be dead and all of the cattle on the other side would be alive.

00:35:07.878 --> 00:35:17.518
We're talking signs, we're talking wonders, we're talking God's calling card.

00:35:17.518 --> 00:35:19.797
This is how God does business.

00:35:19.797 --> 00:35:24.320
He makes it so obvious that God is God and you're not.

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:35.278
Over on this side there's a whole country full of dead animals, and over on this side is Goshen, and if you don't think somebody paid attention.

00:35:35.278 --> 00:35:40.438
The only person that didn't pay attention was Pharaoh, and all of his advisors are going.

00:35:40.438 --> 00:35:47.918
We know you're a god and we know we shouldn't be talking to you like this, but this is not a good decision.

00:35:47.918 --> 00:35:48.559
Glory to God.

00:35:52.693 --> 00:36:05.137
The next gods that were judged by the sixth plague, the boils on man and beast, were against two gods that were supposed to be the gods of preventing disease.

00:36:05.137 --> 00:36:25.190
They had gods that were the gods of preventing diseases, except it didn't work, because over in Goshen we had people, we had a whole, except it didn't work because over in Goshen we had hundreds of thousands of people who did not have boil one.

00:36:25.190 --> 00:36:33.838
And right across the border, over here in Egypt, everybody that walked had a boil and all of the livestock had boils.

00:36:33.838 --> 00:36:36.719
So not only did he cause them to be diseased, but in the next plague he caused them to break out had boils.

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:42.284
So not only did he cause them to be diseased, but in the next plague he caused them to break out in boils.

00:36:42.284 --> 00:37:00.751
So now we've got diseased, boil-ridden livestock, and over here they're as clean as the driven snow and you can just see the Daily Reporter reporter sitting right on the border.

00:37:00.751 --> 00:37:07.900
Well, you know, bob, over here on this side they're just disease-ridden, boil-ridden, and over here there's not a one of them.

00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:11.085
That said we just don't have an explanation for this.

00:37:11.085 --> 00:37:13.960
You don't huh Glory to God.

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.619
What day did you wake up in?

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:20.097
You don't have an explanation.

00:37:23.610 --> 00:37:24.735
The seventh plague.

00:37:24.735 --> 00:37:29.059
I know I'm moving through here fast, but I don't need to go on and on about the plagues.

00:37:29.059 --> 00:37:29.599
You know this.

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:35.822
One of the most dramatic plagues was this plague of the hail mixed with fire.

00:37:35.822 --> 00:37:51.693
And now, if they did anything right in the Ten Commandments, that was a pretty good visual effect in that one of how they did the hail and the fire mix, you know the hail would come down and hit the pavement and it spread like fire.

00:37:51.693 --> 00:37:52.896
That was pretty clever.

00:37:52.896 --> 00:37:55.021
I like that, amen.

00:37:56.711 --> 00:38:08.702
But this was a judgment on the sky god and on a god and one of the main gods, osiris, who is the god of crops and fertility.

00:38:08.702 --> 00:38:11.751
What happened when the hail and the fire came?

00:38:11.751 --> 00:38:16.380
The crops were destroyed, everything that was standing in the field.

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:17.503
You've all seen this happen.

00:38:17.503 --> 00:38:25.414
When hail comes, it can wipe out a crop.

00:38:25.414 --> 00:38:27.605
You can have the nicest, plumpest tomatoes and a whole bunch of things growing in your little garden.

00:38:27.605 --> 00:38:32.873
You get a decent-sized hailstorm and it's going to wreck it, hallelujah.

00:38:32.873 --> 00:38:47.106
So God judged the sky God and the crop and fertility God by destroying the crops with this plague of fire and hail.

00:38:47.106 --> 00:39:00.074
So if that wasn't enough, on the eighth plague he sent locusts, and the Bible says that the locusts were sent to destroy all of the crops that were not destroyed by the fire and the hail.

00:39:00.074 --> 00:39:14.599
So you know, just in case something was missing, we're going to descend locusts on the thing and finish the job and judge the God of the sky and the God of crop production and the god of crop production.

00:39:16.681 --> 00:39:19.143
Hello, what does this mean.

00:39:19.143 --> 00:39:21.686
What's so significant about this?

00:39:21.686 --> 00:39:30.971
The same thing.

00:39:30.971 --> 00:39:37.240
They're getting plummeted by fire, hail and locusts over here and on the other side of the border it's sunshine, roses, flowers feeling good, children outside playing.

00:39:37.240 --> 00:39:40.391
I mean you could stand right there and watch it happen.

00:39:40.391 --> 00:39:44.179
Hey dad, come here, look at this stuff.

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:45.302
It's fire over here.

00:39:45.302 --> 00:39:47.652
Well, don't get too close, just stay over on this side.

00:39:47.652 --> 00:39:51.481
Sunny blue skies, nice puppy clouds.

00:39:51.481 --> 00:39:54.833
I mean you can cut it with a knife right up to the heavens.

00:39:54.833 --> 00:39:57.018
Are you hearing me?

00:39:57.018 --> 00:40:04.398
Oh, because over here the God of the sky is a ruling God.

00:40:04.398 --> 00:40:08.565
Over here, the God who rules is Jehovah.

00:40:08.565 --> 00:40:17.003
Let the God who answers, who shows his power, be.

00:40:17.003 --> 00:40:21.304
God who answers, who shows his power, be gone.

00:40:22.309 --> 00:40:24.070
Well, so this one over here is not doing a good job because it just did a one-two punch.

00:40:24.070 --> 00:40:30.943
We have fire and hail on one punch and locusts on another, over to God.

00:40:30.943 --> 00:40:45.478
See, it would be one thing if Israel were mixed in with Egypt and somehow, you know, rain and fire fell on on some people, not on others.

00:40:45.478 --> 00:40:47.403
Amen, but that's not what happened.

00:40:47.403 --> 00:40:49.869
God separated them.

00:40:49.869 --> 00:40:52.193
God put them in a place.

00:40:52.193 --> 00:40:59.545
God put them in a place where he could protect them If you don't get anything else out of this message.

00:40:59.545 --> 00:41:10.000
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will raise up a standard, and part of that standard is to separate you out.

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:28.681
Part of the standard that God raises up against Antichrist is to pull his people, and I'm talking about the rapture, I'm talking about pulling his people out into Goshen and keeping them protected.

00:41:28.681 --> 00:41:35.315
Hallelujah, praise God.

00:41:37.331 --> 00:41:56.159
So finally, in the ninth plague, we have this three days of darkness, and that is directed against one God, and that is the Egyptian God of the sun, who Pharaoh was supposed to be the embodiment of on the planet Amen.

00:41:56.159 --> 00:42:05.492
So it's getting close to home now, when the sun doesn't shine for three days and it's total darkness.

00:42:05.492 --> 00:42:07.235
That a that a man could feel.

00:42:07.235 --> 00:42:10.643
Amen.

00:42:10.643 --> 00:42:38.476
That God, that is, the God of the sun, is obviously being laughed at and made fun of by the God who controls light and darkness, because the Bible says that light and darkness is the same to him, but it's not the same to this God over here.

00:42:38.476 --> 00:42:59.951
Darkness is an affront to the sun God, but if the God over here, to whom light and darkness is the same, says watch this, your most important God, the one who your Pharaoh is supposed to represent has no power against me.

00:43:05.157 --> 00:43:19.737
All of these plagues were designed to convince Egypt and convince Pharaoh that everything they placed their confidence in was a sham, that everything they placed their confidence in was a sham.

00:43:19.737 --> 00:43:21.621
Amen, and this will happen.

00:43:21.621 --> 00:43:24.431
Listen to me, this is going to happen.

00:43:24.431 --> 00:43:31.164
If you want to pray about something, pray for the false gods that men depend on to be exposed.

00:43:31.164 --> 00:43:37.041
Pray for the false gods that men depend on to be exposed.

00:43:37.041 --> 00:43:40.088
Pray for the false gods that men depend on to be exposed.

00:43:40.088 --> 00:43:52.420
Pray for the power of God to be revealed in such a way that their falseness is magnified and their powerlessness compared to our God is totally exposed.

00:43:52.420 --> 00:43:55.545
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:43:57.130 --> 00:44:07.849
Finally, the last plague was the death of the firstborn, and this was against the primary God of Isis, who was the protector of children.

00:44:07.849 --> 00:44:32.322
So all of these plagues leading up to the, the death of the firstborn, were judgments by God against specific and very high ranking and very in the opinion of the Egyptians powerful gods.

00:44:32.322 --> 00:45:02.231
But God said I'm going to protect you from the death angel who is going to come and execute this judgment in the land of the Egyptians If the blood is spread over the doorposts and if I and if the death angel sees the blood that is spilt over the doorpost, I will what the blood that is spilt over the doorpost, I will.

00:45:02.231 --> 00:45:31.617
What I will pass over, I will pass over and once again, israel was saved, judah was saved, jesus's bloodline was saved, saved and the firstborn of Mary was kept safe because somebody back there spread the blood over the doorpost.

00:45:31.617 --> 00:45:32.398
Hallelujah, glory, be to God.

00:45:32.398 --> 00:45:37.882
So you know the story.

00:45:37.882 --> 00:45:40.925
Maybe I ought to stop here.

00:45:40.925 --> 00:45:47.900
That's probably a good breaking point, because if I go on I won't be able to make the whole point.

00:45:47.900 --> 00:45:49.043
I don't have time for that.

00:45:49.043 --> 00:45:52.173
So let's, let's put a bow on this.

00:45:52.173 --> 00:45:53.715
Amen.

00:45:55.637 --> 00:46:01.666
We're talking about a war that has existed for a long, long time.

00:46:01.666 --> 00:46:03.791
Amen.

00:46:03.791 --> 00:46:06.996
There is enmity with the seed.

00:46:06.996 --> 00:46:12.244
The enemy has declared war against the seed.

00:46:12.244 --> 00:46:16.833
This has been going on for a long time.

00:46:16.833 --> 00:46:18.976
It's not a secret.

00:46:18.976 --> 00:46:26.364
You would think it's a secret the way the church deals with all these things, but it is not a secret.

00:46:26.364 --> 00:46:50.331
It's what we're going to do in all of these things that we're going to study is we are going to take enough time to bring it out of its hidden place in the pages of the Bible and show you that this has been going on Amen, and it has been going on consistently, and really we should have expected it.

00:46:50.733 --> 00:46:56.233
To expect anything different is to keep your head in the sand and not think that the enemy is really an enemy.

00:46:56.233 --> 00:47:02.614
If an enemy is not really an enemy, then he must be a friend, or at least a good time buddy, and he's not.

00:47:02.614 --> 00:47:04.195
That we know, that's true.

00:47:04.195 --> 00:47:14.043
So if he's not that, then he has to be something else, and he is at war with our Lord and our master, amen.

00:47:14.043 --> 00:47:16.958
And if he's at war with him, he's at war with us.

00:47:16.958 --> 00:47:37.525
And so if we're going to be at war with this spirit, amen, we need to know his tactics, and one of his tactics that we're studying right now is that he enslaves societies under the bondage of institutional witchcraft.

00:47:37.525 --> 00:48:03.699
Now, if you don't think this is true, he had the Christian church in bondage to institutional witchcraft until a man by the name of Martin Luther came along and just said wait a minute, the foundation of what they believe is wrong.

00:48:05.672 --> 00:48:09.396
We are not justified by works, we are justified by faith.

00:48:09.396 --> 00:48:19.797
We do not depend on the interpretations of the wise men in Rome, we depend on the authority of Scripture.

00:48:19.797 --> 00:48:23.985
Amen, hallelujah.

00:48:23.985 --> 00:48:35.780
And furthermore, there is not a cast of priests who get to do everything, because all believers are priests.

00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:40.942
We have all been made to be priests and kings unto our God.

00:48:40.942 --> 00:48:45.221
These three things were the cornerstone of the Protestant Reformation.

00:48:45.221 --> 00:48:49.900
Now it took a dozen different turns, it took a different twist and thing, all of that place.

00:48:49.900 --> 00:48:59.121
That had more to do with the political climate of Europe than it did with the individuals that were at the forefront of this thing.

00:48:59.161 --> 00:49:03.597
But what I'm telling you is this that we should be wise.

00:49:03.597 --> 00:49:14.302
Jesus tells us that in their generation, the sons of darkness, the sons of the earth, are more shrewd than the sons of light.

00:49:14.302 --> 00:49:16.880
But that's not necessarily.

00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:21.039
Just because that's an observation doesn't mean that that's the way it should be.

00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:23.838
We have the mind of Christ.

00:49:23.838 --> 00:49:27.521
We have the thinking capacity of the Holy Ghost.

00:49:27.521 --> 00:49:32.282
We should not be surprised when shrewdness is applied against us.

00:49:32.282 --> 00:49:44.885
We shouldn't be surprised when we know that they're going to try to raise up institutional witchcraft all over the planet to thwart what God wants to do.

00:49:46.010 --> 00:49:51.023
Ok, fine, you get two shots out of 10 to show what you got.

00:49:51.023 --> 00:49:57.635
Are you hearing what I'm telling you?

00:49:57.635 --> 00:50:00.693
God said okay, you think you're, you think you're something big.

00:50:00.693 --> 00:50:06.869
You think you think just because you can turn the Nile red and you can send some frogs.

00:50:06.869 --> 00:50:10.380
That that qualifies you to be God.

00:50:10.380 --> 00:50:13.614
I'm just getting warmed up.

00:50:13.614 --> 00:50:15.679
Those are, those are.

00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:16.501
Those are like the.

00:50:16.501 --> 00:50:16.722
The.

00:50:16.722 --> 00:50:18.818
That's like batting practice pitches.

00:50:18.818 --> 00:50:26.797
They're real slow, they're real easy to hit, because we're not here to see if you can hit them real fast up.

00:50:26.797 --> 00:50:29.793
We're just letting you get the feel of the swing for the day.

00:50:29.793 --> 00:50:32.375
Right, hearing what I'm saying?

00:50:32.375 --> 00:50:34.114
He said go ahead.

00:50:34.114 --> 00:50:35.751
This is just warm-ups.

00:50:35.751 --> 00:50:38.516
This is just a couple of little kids throwing balls in the yard.

00:50:38.516 --> 00:50:41.936
Wait till we get to the big things.

00:50:41.936 --> 00:50:48.159
Wait till I give you the one-two punch of fire, hail and locusts.

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.605
How would you like?

00:50:51.605 --> 00:51:00.000
You know, people must have thought that they were living in the book of Exodus and some day out on the plains.

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.940
One day they had a fire and next day they had hail and the next day they had locusts.

00:51:03.940 --> 00:51:05.333
What's going on?

00:51:05.333 --> 00:51:09.536
Praise God, are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:51:10.750 --> 00:51:20.260
God is giving us the benefit of a detailed education, but you have to tie the things together.

00:51:20.260 --> 00:51:25.527
You just can't leave them out there like a bunch of isolated events and stories.

00:51:25.527 --> 00:51:37.059
We have to take this thing out of the storybook page and into the military handbook page so that we can be effective in how we pray.

00:51:37.059 --> 00:51:41.800
Because these things, if listen, we're not going to go.

00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:44.237
How many of us are there?

00:51:44.237 --> 00:51:45.521
Eight, nine of us.

00:51:45.521 --> 00:51:53.342
We're not going to go, turn this world upside down and bind every manifestation to the spirit of Antichrist all over the planet.

00:51:53.342 --> 00:51:54.695
We're not going to do that.

00:51:54.695 --> 00:51:56.172
We're not that big.

00:51:56.172 --> 00:51:59.556
We're not that big, we're not that good, we're not that powerful.

00:51:59.556 --> 00:52:07.913
But we can change the way we pray and we can get this message Out on the internet To as many as will listen.

00:52:10.297 --> 00:52:14.757
Amen, but at At all costs.

00:52:14.757 --> 00:52:33.898
It has to change the way you live and the way you pray, because we wrestle, not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.

00:52:33.898 --> 00:52:36.804
Amen, these spirits are not playing games.

00:52:36.804 --> 00:52:40.036
Amen, this is who we wrestle against.

00:52:40.036 --> 00:52:42.650
You need to know that, amen.

00:52:42.650 --> 00:52:46.382
You need to know that in such a way that it changes how you live.

00:52:46.382 --> 00:52:55.661
It changes what you do, it changes how you pray and it changes how you understand the manifestation of things around you.

00:52:55.661 --> 00:53:10.498
Amen, but most important, it changes how you believe, because the world is set against you to get you to believe that you have already lost.

00:53:14.871 --> 00:53:24.864
I mean, after all, john Rockefeller, in today's money would be worth what?

00:53:24.864 --> 00:53:30.021
Three, four, five hundred billion dollars, maybe a trillion dollars?

00:53:30.021 --> 00:53:36.172
And he was a Christian, he was a tithe and he was one of us.

00:53:36.172 --> 00:53:46.925
George Washington was one of us.

00:53:46.925 --> 00:53:50.760
Lincoln was one of us.

00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:57.655
Everybody that has ever been president was one of us.

00:54:01.010 --> 00:54:02.155
You think you've got a chance.

00:54:02.155 --> 00:54:04.141
You don't have a chance, we've already won.

00:54:04.141 --> 00:54:10.797
But see, that's not what the Bible says.

00:54:10.797 --> 00:54:29.557
The Bible says that when they come in to attack, in every single case, the Spirit of God raised up a standard like a flood and that was the end of that attack.

00:54:29.557 --> 00:54:43.262
Now it doesn't mean that they're not going to quit attacking in this way, but they can't have victory over the seed in this way anymore.

00:54:43.262 --> 00:54:45.635
You're not hearing me.

00:54:46.489 --> 00:55:04.340
What really happened in Egypt and we're going to cover this more the next time we'll wrap up this part of it in Egypt what really happened in Egypt was that the Lord said oh, you'll try this again, but you'll never win, and you know it.

00:55:04.340 --> 00:55:19.909
And I know it Because I have already come in like a flood and drowned the best that you had to offer and drown the best that you had to offer.

00:55:19.909 --> 00:55:27.242
See what you think, what they want you to think okay, can I say this?

00:55:27.242 --> 00:55:52.603
What they want you to think is this they want you to think that the magicians they have now were as good or better than the ones that Egypt had, but that's not true, because they had firsthand access To the, to the black arts and how they were done by fallen angels that had come off.

00:55:52.603 --> 00:55:54.858
But all of those books have been destroyed.

00:55:54.858 --> 00:55:57.652
Oh yes, they have all of those books.

00:55:57.652 --> 00:55:58.217
You know where most of them were have been destroyed.

00:55:58.217 --> 00:55:59.199
Oh yes, they have All of those books.

00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:02.498
You know where most of them were housed In Egypt.

00:56:02.498 --> 00:56:12.420
They were housed in a great library in Alexandria and that library was burned to the ground and all of those black arks were destroyed.

00:56:13.514 --> 00:56:15.530
They don't have access to the spells.

00:56:15.530 --> 00:56:17.762
They don't have access to the spells.

00:56:17.762 --> 00:56:18.889
They don't have access to the potions.

00:56:18.889 --> 00:56:23.802
They don't know how to do what the Egyptian magicians knew.

00:56:23.802 --> 00:56:25.838
There's not a one on the planet.

00:56:25.838 --> 00:56:33.217
Oh, they know how to control the weather, but not by magic.

00:56:33.217 --> 00:56:41.391
They do it by science and they have turned science into magic, but they're not doing it like they did it.

00:56:41.391 --> 00:56:46.916
They did it by picking up a rod and touching the water.

00:56:46.916 --> 00:56:49.532
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:56:49.532 --> 00:56:52.601
Don't ever just think that they didn't have power.

00:56:52.601 --> 00:56:54.396
They had tremendous power.

00:56:54.396 --> 00:56:55.960
It's just not infinite.

00:56:58.831 --> 00:57:13.880
What God told them in the wrap up of all of this stuff that happened in Egypt, he said you can try it again and you will, but you'll never win that way, because I have already taken your best shot.

00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.880
It's not going to ever get better than this.

00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:29.423
How do I know that he allowed Paul to give those two magicians names and put them in the New Testament?

00:57:29.423 --> 00:57:33.438
That's how powerful they were.

00:57:33.438 --> 00:58:11.197
The reason I know their names is because Paul was given permission by the Spirit of God to put their names in his letter to Timothy, and those names are there perpetually as a testimony that they had great power and had great abilities, but in their heart of hearts they were manipulators and seducers, and the best that the devil had Will never be replicated again.

00:58:11.197 --> 00:58:15.536
Glory to God.

00:58:15.536 --> 00:58:16.655
You know where they are now.

00:58:16.655 --> 00:58:19.119
You know where their bones are now.

00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:30.193
Their bones are in the bottom of the Red Sea, an everlasting testimony to the power of our God.

00:58:30.193 --> 00:58:33.115
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, let's stand.
