  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for

  Speaker 2: of the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.

  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and then we will get underway.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Father in heaven, we do thank you for giving us

• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And I'm asking you to please fill us with your

  Speaker 2: to come together in this way. Help us to trust
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you and you alone in Jesus name, I pray, Amen
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and Amen again the temporary ruler of this world. Okay.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to just jump right in, jump right
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in to the Bible passages here that the lesson writer
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: highlighted first in John chapter twelve and verse thirty one.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads, now is the judgment of this world?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Now shall the prince of this world be cast out?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So immediately we see that the prince of this world
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: is temporary. How do we know? Because the text says
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it right there, He's going to be cast out. Wait
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a minute, cast out. I think we've heard this language before.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: In Revelation chapter twelve, the Bible says that there was
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: war in heaven. Yell and his angels fought against the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: dragon and his angels, and the devil or the dragon
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and his angels were cast out of heaven. There was
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: no place found for them. Then the Bible says, rejoice
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: ye heavens and those that dwell there, because the devil
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: is gone, like he has been cast out. But then
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, whoe woe unto the inhabitants of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: earth and of the sea. Why because the devil has
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: come down unto you, having great wrath. Okay, So I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: thankful that even though the text says in the Revelation,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: John is the one who authored that book too, woe
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to us down here, that Jesus says, this is temporary.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The woe that you experience at work, when when you
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: have gossipers and politrickers and people who don't mean you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: any good, that's temporary. Ah, The woe in your relationship
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: where there are some people that are just selfish full stop,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: like they say they're for you, but they don't behave
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and live like they are for you. That is temporary.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: You see where I'm going. The health condition that you
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: are contending with today, and you have to go to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the doctor over and over. You have dialysis over and over,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you have chemotherory therapy, you have rady radiation treatment, proton treatment.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I got a brain freeze there for a moment. That
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: woe is temporary. Why because the devil is cast out?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Why is he going to be cast out because of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the judgment. You see, God has a faithful record of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: everything that is going on. He is actually watching. In
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the words of Take six, as they sung, he never sleeps,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: he never slumbers. He watches me both night and day.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: He never sleeps, he never slumbers. The reason I know, oh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it is because he told me so. He told you
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that the devil is going to be judged. He told
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you that he's going to be cast out. How do
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we know that his word is true? Well, what of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the ways is because he cast him out of heaven.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: So if he could do that, he's gonna definitely do it. Here,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: let me keep going, John chapter sixteen and verse eleven.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The Bible reads, of course we're breaking into a discussion,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: but it's appropriate here of judgment, because the prince of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: this world is what judged. The prince of this world
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: is judged. I don't have to say anything more. It's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just another passage to say the same thing. Tewo Corinthians,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: chapter four and verse four. In whom the God lowercase
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: G of this world has blinded the minds of them
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: which believe not so, that means that the devil, who
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: is the quote god of this world. That means that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: he is having temporary, limited rule of people who will
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: cooperate with him. The Bible says that he hath blinded
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: their minds that believe not.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: What is the antidote for the blinded mind? The blinded mindset,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the one that is deceived by the enemy. The antidote
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: is to no longer be bound to the devil. Believe God,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it says, those who believe not have blinded minds. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we get to believe God. When God says it's this way,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: then we believe him what he says in his word,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: we believe him. Okay, let me keep going less the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: know with the basis of his word, the blinders coming
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: off comes by virtue of the glorious or that bright,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: shining Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: salvation to everyone who what believes, to everyone who believes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: If you want to live in light and not darkness,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: believe God. If you want to overcome your besetting sins
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and those things that have been really dogging your heels
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: for years and years, and you realize that that is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in your bloodline. Your daddy was this way, your grandmother
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: was this way, your great grandfather, your great great grandmother
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: on both sides, mothers on both sides were this way. Well,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the Bible says that we can believe in the glorious
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: shine unto them. Luke Chapter four and verse six. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the devil said, unto him, all this power will I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: give unto you the glory of them, for that is
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will give it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Now the devil was lying. May I just say, yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the Bible says he's the prince of this world. Yes,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the Bible says he's the lowercase g D of this world. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: it is not given unto him to give whomever he
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: wishes anything on planet Earth. Because he is temporary, he
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: is under judgment, and that judgment will finally be executed soon,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: thank God. Ah. And yeah, God is always watching, he
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: will be cast out. So when he was tempting Jesus
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in the wilderness, and he was saying, as he was
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: showing Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world in
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the moment of time, he wanted Jesus to worship him,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and he was promising something he could not provide. If
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you worship me, then I will give you everything. You see.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: There are some parties, let me just say, there are
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: some parties that have been in the news worldwide of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a music mogul in the United States of America, who,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like many before him, promised the world to people, to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: artists and maybe even act and actresses promise the world
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to them if they would only fill in the blank
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: something that is not godly. Well we see where that went.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So the devil's rule is temporary. God is always in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: control and he will deliver his people ultimately. So guard
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: your mind, submit yourselves to God, and stay alert in prayer.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, watch and pray that you enter not
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: into temptation. The spirit, indeed is willing. He was speaking
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to one of our brothers, but the flesh is weak.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm taking this to heart that I will continue to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: pray because I know that in my own flesh I'm weak.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Friends.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah,
