- 0:04Let me see if I got this straight Agency.
- 0:06When I put on these glasses, I can see demons.
- 0:10That's right, slick. There's demonic activity going
- 0:13on every day on this planet. Most people don't have a clue
- 0:16that demons exist unless they watch scary movies.
- 0:19So why not give everyone a pair of these glasses?
- 0:22I wish it was that simple, Agent Jay.
- 0:24The fact is, most people would freak out if they saw what we
- 0:27see. Besides, God doesn't need people
- 0:29seeing demons. He needs people who will pray in
- 0:32agreement with His word on earth.
- 0:41Ow my head has never hurt like this before.
- 0:45Feels like it's going to explode.
- 0:47Look at that Lady agency. It sounds like she has a really
- 0:51bad headache. Put on your glasses, Junior.
- 0:53What? Oh, my glasses, Right?
- 0:57Whoa, agency. There's a demon squeezing that
- 1:01ladies head. That's not just any demon.
- 1:04That's Edgar. He's more than just a thorn in
- 1:06the flesh. He's a bug.
- 1:08A bug A. Big ugly goon.
- 1:12A big ugly goon. Why didn't you say so in the 1st
- 1:15place? I can handle big ugly goons.
- 1:19I grew up with a big ugly goon, my brother.
- 1:23Agent J, where are you going? I'm going to teach this big ugly
- 1:27goon to pick on someone his own size.
- 1:30I wouldn't do that if I were you.
- 1:33Yeah, well, you ain't me. Watch this.
- 1:37Excuse me, but you're hurting this lady.
- 1:42Are you talking to me? No, ma'am.
- 1:44I'm talking to the big ugly goon that's squeezing your head.
- 1:48What big ugly goon? Agent J She can't see the bug.
- 1:53She doesn't have any glasses. Oh yeah, right.
- 1:57No glasses. Trust me, there's a big ugly
- 2:00goon squeezing your head. This will only take a minute.
- 2:04Let her go, Bug. Didn't your Mama teach you not
- 2:07to pick on girls? Who are?
- 2:11You. I'm Agent J.
- 2:12That's Agent C We're with MIC Men in Christ.
- 2:17Christ, I know Agent CI know, but I've never heard of you.
- 2:23Well, that's about to change now.
- 2:25Let her go before I have to get rough with you.
- 2:28Agent Ji caution you to follow MIC procedure.
- 2:32It's OK, Agent C This is just a bug now.
- 2:37Are you going to let her go or do I have to make you?
- 2:41I let her go. I had a feeling you would.
- 2:44I feel better. How did you do that?
- 2:47Well, you probably won't believe me, but Ouch, that's my head
- 2:54you've got now your big ugly goon.
- 2:56All right, Edgar loose Agent Jay and let him go.
- 2:59In the name of Jesus, I bind you from causing pain to Agent Jay
- 3:03or this woman. Now go in Jesus name.
- 3:10You win this time Agency, but I'll be back.
- 3:13You can count on it. What's going on?
- 3:16Yeah, you better run. I was just about to let you have
- 3:21it upside your big ugly head. You goon.
- 3:24Would someone please tell me what's going on?
- 3:27Agent Ji told you to follow MIC procedure.
- 3:30You can't just walk up and threaten a demon.
- 3:33Would someone please tell me what is going on?
- 3:35Certainly there was a bug squeezing your head.
- 3:39You probably had a headache, didn't you?
- 3:41It wasn't just a headache, it was a migraine headache.
- 3:45Migraine, your grain. Whatever.
- 3:47Anyway, it was a big ugly goon and I was about to rough him up.
- 3:51But I turned to talk to you and he grabbed me, Caught me off
- 3:54guard. I was just about to buzz free
- 3:56when my partner stepped in. I don't know why he stepped in.
- 3:59I had that demon right where I wanted him.
- 4:02Ma'am, what Agent J is trying to say is that you were being
- 4:05attacked by a demon. John 1010 says that Satan comes
- 4:09to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came to give us abundant
- 4:13life. In Luke 1019, Jesus said he has
- 4:16given us authority over all the power of the enemy.
- 4:20And in Matthew 1619, Jesus commissioned us to bind and
- 4:24loose things on the earth according to God's word.
- 4:28What are you guys, secret agents?
- 4:31We're MIC men in Christ. Yeah, we're Guardians of the
- 4:35Universe. Not to be confused with
- 4:37Guardians of the Galaxy. We're guardians of the earth,
- 4:40ma'am. Agent J likes to exaggerate.
- 4:43I want to help. How can I get involved?
- 4:46The first step is that you have to be in Christ by receiving
- 4:48Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
- 4:50How? Pray this prayer with Agent J.
- 4:54Huh. Oh, the salvation prayer God.
- 4:58God. Thank you for sending Jesus.
- 5:00Thank you for sending Jesus. To die for my sins.
- 5:04To die for my sins. Jesus, I believe you rose from
- 5:07the dead. Jesus, I believe you rose from
- 5:10the dead. And you are alive today.
- 5:13And you are alive today. I invite you, Jesus.
- 5:16I invite you, Jesus. Into my heart.
- 5:20Into my heart. To be my Savior and my Lord.
- 5:23To be my Savior and my Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
- 5:28In Jesus name. Amen.
- 5:30Is that all? That's number one.
- 5:32Now, for the rest of your life, you'll be learning what Jesus
- 5:35would do in every situation, and you follow his example.
- 5:39Aren't you going to ZAP her? You know, so she doesn't
- 5:42remember anything. You watch way too much TV, Agent
- 5:46J. We want people to know the truth
- 5:48because the truth makes them free.
- 5:58So how do you know Edgar? I don't know Edgar.
- 6:01I know his kind. Oh, you mean bug.
- 6:04Big ugly goo. That's just a nickname we gave
- 6:07them. Slick BUG really stands for
- 6:10Barbaric Urban gargoyle, which means he's a big, ugly wild
- 6:14demon that lives in the city. Barbaric urban gargoyle sounds a
- 6:19lot more dangerous than big ugly goon.
- 6:21That bug almost killed me. It's been known to steal, kill
- 6:25and destroy. That's where we come in.
- 6:27Our job is to police demonic activity.
- 6:30So basically we walk around acting like Jesus.
- 6:34Precisely. There you are.
- 6:36I've been looking all over for you.
- 6:38What do you need, Sylvia? We're here to surf.
- 6:41Oh no, not those two again, I'd better hide.
- 6:46It's my son Michael. I can't stand to be around him.
- 6:50He never does what I tell him. He yells at me.
- 6:53He's lazy and he has a reputation of being the meanest
- 6:58kid in school. Can you help me?
- 7:01Of course we can. We're MIC men in Christ,
- 7:04Guardians on the earth. On the earth I'm in training.
- 7:09I could tell what do I do? You have asked Jesus to live in
- 7:13your heart, making him the Lord and Savior of your life.
- 7:16That's right. Then raise your right hand and
- 7:18repeat after me. I make a vow.
- 7:20I make a vow. To bind the works of the devil.
- 7:23To bind the works of the devil. And to loose the blessings of
- 7:26God in the world. And to loose the blessings of
- 7:29God in the world. I will do my best.
- 7:33I will do my best. To represent Jesus.
- 7:36To represent Jesus. As a guardian.
- 7:39As a guardian. Enforcing God's will on the
- 7:43earth. Enforcing God's will on the
- 7:45earth. I hate it when these guys pray
- 7:48you got to get them to. Stop now.
- 7:50Let's pray for your son. Father God, we lift up Michael
- 7:54to you. Help Sylvia to tell him about
- 7:56you. I command the devil to take the
- 7:58blinders off his mind so that he can know the truth and be set
- 8:01free in Jesus name. Now just thank God that it's
- 8:05done. Helper Agent Jay.
- 8:08Agent Jay, he didn't let you pray, Agent Jay, probably
- 8:12because he wants all the credit. Why didn't you let me pray?
- 8:15Excuse me? You did the Vow.
- 8:18You should have let me pray. We're partners.
- 8:21Partners are supposed to work together.
- 8:23Since you did the Vow, you should have let me pray for
- 8:26Michael. I didn't know you wanted to
- 8:28pray. Why wouldn't I want to pray?
- 8:30I like talking to God. I like helping other people.
- 8:34That's why I joined MIC. Of course I want to pray.
- 8:38OK, pray right then. Bow your heads and close your
- 8:42eyes. You can actually pray with your
- 8:44eyes open and your head up, but bowing your head and closing
- 8:47your eyes just helps some people focus on God.
- 8:50So that's why we say bow your head and close your eyes.
- 8:53OK. Bow your head agency and close
- 8:57your eyes. Oh, yeah.
- 8:59Sorry. Since no one is looking, have a
- 9:03little fun with Agent J. Are you going to pray junior or
- 9:08are you just going to think about it?
- 9:10I I couldn't think of anything to pray, but watch what I can
- 9:14do. What has gotten into you?
- 9:17One second you're wanting to pray and then all of a sudden
- 9:19you're doing hand stands. You're just jealous because you
- 9:22can't do hand stands. What about handstand push ups
- 9:26with one hand? I better put on my glasses.
- 9:30I should have known. Edgar's here.
- 9:31Edgar, get away from Agent J. Ouch.
- 9:35Now come over here, Edgar. What do you want the soul of?
- 9:38Sylvia's son Michael. Give him up in Jesus name.
- 9:42We've claimed him for the Kingdom of God.
- 9:43Michael, I'm not sure I know who you're talking about.
- 9:47Don't play games with me, Edgar. You know very well who I'm
- 9:50talking about. It's over, Edgar.
- 9:53Jesus already defeated you and bought Michael's freedom.
- 9:57Oh, Michael. The meanest kid in school.
- 10:00Yeah, we like him. He does a lot for us.
- 10:05I'm not sure if we can give him up, but I'll check with the
- 10:08boss. Tell your boss that MIC is on
- 10:12the case. That should help him decide.
- 10:14And don't take too long, Edgar. If it's a fight you want, it's a
- 10:18fight you'll get. We're here to enforce God's will
- 10:21on the earth in Jesus name. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:24Just don't send that new partner of yours.
- 10:26He scares me. Yeah, you better go.
- 10:31I was about to whoop you upside your ugly head.
- 10:35Oh, really? Whoop this.
- 10:40That is one nasty smelling bug. Did someone pass gas?
- 10:47What was Edgar doing here? Wait a minute.
- 10:50Did he? Yeah, he did.
- 10:53Was he? He was that demon got you upset
- 10:59about me praying and then he talked you into doing hand
- 11:02stands instead. What, You mean a demon told you
- 11:06to do all that foolishness? Well, I was just letting him.
- 11:10I was luring him into a trap. He was probably holding my feet
- 11:14up when I was doing that handstand.
- 11:15I've never been able to do those.
- 11:17I mean, I I was about to grab his ugly head with my legs and
- 11:21flip him over onto the ground and then I would have slapped
- 11:24him upside his ugly head. That's not how you beat up the
- 11:27devil, Junior. Use the word of God.
- 11:29Oh yeah, I'll slap him upside his head with the Bible.
- 11:33A really big Bible. That's not what I meant.
- 11:37Wait a minute, you guys are MICI?
- 11:40Thought the devil couldn't mess with you guys.
- 11:43The devil tries to get everybody to sin.
- 11:45That's what he does, steal, kill and destroy.
- 11:48But MIC are trained to know the word of God and use the
- 11:51authority of Jesus name to defeat him.
- 11:54Yeah. So how about taking us to see
- 11:56Michael? OK, he's probably at school.
- 11:59Come on. That's the smartest idea you've
- 12:01had all day, Junior. Yeah, well, I'm full of smart
- 12:04ideas once you get to know me and quit calling me Junior.
- 12:09Hey, wait for me. Here's your cigarette, Michael.
- 12:22Oh, your mom's coming. Michael.
- 12:26What are you doing here at my? School, I thought, Maybe we
- 12:29could walk home together. Well, you thought wrong.
- 12:31Michael, I'm your mother. Don't talk to me like that.
- 12:35What's happened to you? You've been acting strange
- 12:37lately. I told you I met these guys a
- 12:40couple of weeks ago. I had a real bad headache and
- 12:43they prayed for me. My headache went away and it
- 12:46hasn't been back. Maybe they'll pray for me and
- 12:48you'll go away. That's a good one, Michael.
- 12:51I got to write that down. I've asked Jesus to live in my
- 12:55heart and I'm praying for you. Not good.
- 12:58Well, just stop it. I don't want you praying for me.
- 13:01I won't stop praying. I've committed to stop the works
- 13:04of the devil on the earth. Are you calling me the devil?
- 13:08No, not you. Yes, she is.
- 13:10She's calling you the Devil. Get mad.
- 13:14Sometimes I wish you weren't my mother.
- 13:16I bind the devil in your life in Jesus name.
- 13:20I'll see you when you get home. Don't wait up.
- 13:25I see what you're doing, Edgar. Time to go to work.
- 13:30Hey Michael, don't be talking to your mom like that.
- 13:34Who are? You.
- 13:35I'm a friend of your mom's. He looks familiar to me.
- 13:39Well, I've never seen you around before.
- 13:41How do I know you're telling the truth?
- 13:43My partner and I helped your mom a couple weeks ago with a little
- 13:46problem she had. Actually, it was mostly me that
- 13:49helped. My partner is one of those guys
- 13:51that likes to stand around and watch, if you know what I mean.
- 13:54Are you the ones that prayed for her headache?
- 13:56No, I remember your MIC man is crybaby.
- 14:02Men in Christ, you cockroach. What?
- 14:05I mean, we're MIC men in Christ, guardians of the earth.
- 14:10We pray for your mom's headache. I'm Agent J.
- 14:14Thanks. My mom's headaches were real
- 14:16bad. Sometimes she cried.
- 14:18So you don't like your mom to cry, huh?
- 14:20You. Don't have to answer that if you
- 14:22don't want. To So now who are you?
- 14:24His lawyer. What?
- 14:26I'm sorry, Michael, I wasn't talking to you.
- 14:29Do you hear anyone besides me and you?
- 14:32Never mind. What were we talking about?
- 14:35My mom crying. That's right.
- 14:37You don't like anybody making your mom cry, do you?
- 14:40No, anybody that makes my mom cry has to answer to me.
- 14:44I hear you've been making her cry.
- 14:46Hey look man, I don't need this. You're right.
- 14:49Let me tell you what you do need.
- 14:50You need to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and let
- 14:54him be the Lord of your life. I better cover his ear so he
- 14:58doesn't hear the truth. He'll want to get rid of me if
- 15:01he does. You have a big ugly bug that's
- 15:04following you around. That's who I've been talking to.
- 15:07It's a demon and he's trying to destroy your life.
- 15:09Michael, why don't you pray with me and let Jesus be your boss
- 15:13instead of Edgar? Who's Edgar?
- 15:15Look, man, why don't you just shut your big fat mouth?
- 15:20Oh, no, you didn't just hit me. Don't walk away from me.
- 15:24Michael. Come back here.
- 15:26Stay away from Michael. He's mine.
- 15:31Ouch. I heard that, Edgar.
- 15:33Frankly, it doesn't surprise me that you try to keep Michael but
- 15:36you can't win. Now you've forced me to go code
- 15:39red. Not Code Red.
- 15:41Not Code Red. Wait up, Michael.
- 15:46Are you OK, Agent Jay? Who, me?
- 15:49Man, my grandma hits harder than that when her arthritis is
- 15:51acting up. At least I got a chance to tell
- 15:54Michael the truth that he needed to get saved.
- 15:57He didn't hear a word you said. Edgar had his ears covered.
- 16:00How do you know that? Glasses.
- 16:02I saw the whole thing. You mean?
- 16:04You saw Michael hit me, and then that Orkin refugee Edgar clobber
- 16:08me. Why didn't you do something?
- 16:10I'm your partner, the one that likes to stand around and watch
- 16:13you remember. You heard that, huh?
- 16:16Yeah, I heard it. Now let me give you some
- 16:19pointers. Junior, when you talk to someone
- 16:21about Jesus, always take time to bind the devil first so that he
- 16:24cannot interfere with what you are doing.
- 16:27Jesus gave you his authority to use over the devil by speaking
- 16:30in Jesus name. Jesus gave me his authority to
- 16:34use over the devil by speaking in his name.
- 16:37And don't tell someone that they have a bug or demon, because
- 16:39they won't understand. They'll think you're crazy.
- 16:43Besides, nobody gets saved because they learn about the
- 16:45devil. It's the goodness of God that
- 16:47leads men to repentance. Romans 24.
- 16:50I guess I really messed things up, huh?
- 16:52You're learning Slick, and now I feel sorry for Edgar when you
- 16:56finally figure out what being a Guardian means.
- 16:59Come on, it's time for Code Red. What's code red?
- 17:03Wait up, What's code red? I'm.
- 17:12Sorry I'm late. I couldn't get Michael out of
- 17:14bed this morning. He said he didn't feel like
- 17:17going to school, so I left him at home.
- 17:19Thanks for coming, We're stepping up to Code Red.
- 17:22Code Red. What's code red?
- 17:25That's amic code A red one agency.
- 17:31What is Code Red? Code Red means that it's time to
- 17:34pray. We have to keep believing and
- 17:36thanking God for Michael's salvation, as well as pray for
- 17:39his health and protection. Protection.
- 17:42That kid doesn't need protecting.
- 17:44He could take care of himself. I ought to know.
- 17:47He almost killed me the other day.
- 17:49Michael tried to kill you. Well, no, but he did hurt me
- 17:52pretty bad. I almost cried.
- 17:55I was just trying to tell him about Jesus.
- 17:57I'm sorry, I should have been there.
- 18:00Well, I shouldn't. Have excuse me.
- 18:02I mean, I shouldn't have been hit.
- 18:05After all, I'm a member of MIC. Men in Christ, Guardians of the
- 18:09Earth. I know I've taken the pledge,
- 18:11but can I be a member of MIC? You're a woman.
- 18:16Women can't be members of men in Christ.
- 18:20The truth is we only have two pairs of these sunglasses.
- 18:23That's right, we just have two pairs of these sunglasses, and
- 18:26so you can't be. You can be an honorary member of
- 18:29MIC. We need everyone to be part of
- 18:31men in Christ. Obviously the two of us can't do
- 18:35it ourselves. We need people like you who will
- 18:37take the pledge to bind the works of the devil, lose the
- 18:40blessings of God in the world, and do their best to represent
- 18:44Jesus as a guardian and enforce God's will on the earth through
- 18:47prayer. Let's do it.
- 18:49Do what? Code Red.
- 18:51Let's pray for Michael. I knew that I was just testing
- 18:55you devil. Jesus came to give life to
- 18:58Michael. You can't have him in Jesus
- 19:01name. We stand in the gap for his
- 19:03life. Greater is Jesus in US than you
- 19:06that are trying to hurt Michael. Sylvia, you keep thanking God
- 19:11that he has heard our prayers and he's helping Michael.
- 19:14Agent Jay and I will go to your house and talk to him.
- 19:25I can't take it anymore. I don't want to keep hurting my
- 19:28mom. Wait a minute, Michael.
- 19:30You're not thinking about receiving G as your savior, are
- 19:36you? I need to talk to that MIC guy.
- 19:39I need to give my life to Jesus. Are you kidding me?
- 19:46You can't become a Christian. You're too bad you can't change
- 19:50the way you are. I don't think I could live a
- 19:52Christian life like those MIC guys.
- 19:55You can't just give up. I just don't know what to do
- 19:59anymore. Michael, it's OK Everything is
- 20:02going to be just fine. Mind your own business,
- 20:07Earthling. Michael is our business.
- 20:10You have no right to interfere. God has a right.
- 20:13God is in US. Get out in Jesus name.
- 20:16Fine. Are you OK, Michael?
- 20:19I'm fine. I'm not sure about that guy
- 20:22though. Who?
- 20:22Me? He can't hurt me.
- 20:25It's a good thing you stepped in when you did agency, or I would
- 20:28have squashed that bug. I'm Agency.
- 20:31I'm Michael. You've already met Agent J.
- 20:33Yeah, I'm sorry if I hurt you the other day.
- 20:36Oh, it was nothing. You just knocked the wind out of
- 20:38me. Of course, I thought I was going
- 20:40to die at the time. Why don't you come with us,
- 20:42Michael? There's someone praying for you
- 20:43right now that would like to see you.
- 20:45OK. Thanks.
- 20:54Michael, Michael, are you home? Michael's not home.
- 20:58It's my fault. I never should have taken my
- 21:00eyes off of him. It's not your fault.
- 21:03If anything, it's my fault. We should have prayed with
- 21:05Michael to receive Jesus when we had the chance.
- 21:08It's time for Code Blue. You mean Code Red?
- 21:11And frankly, I don't even know what to pray anymore.
- 21:14Sylvia, he means Code Blue. It's time to pray in the Holy
- 21:18Spirit. Yeah, when we don't know what to
- 21:20pray, we let the Holy Spirit pray through us.
- 21:24I don't know how. We'll pray with you to be filled
- 21:27with the Holy Spirit, Father. Godfather God.
- 21:30I am your child. I am your child.
- 21:32Jesus said that I need your power in my life.
- 21:35Jesus said that I need your power in my life.
