- 00:00:10.803 --> 00:00:19.545
- Allen jackson: our topic is a continuation of a study we've
- 00:00:21.346 --> 00:00:22.414
- Been doing, "angels, demons and you."
- 00:00:23.248 --> 00:00:26.718
- They exist, angels and demons as a theoretical discussion isn't
- 00:00:26.718 --> 00:00:31.490
- Particularly interesting to me.
- 00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:32.825
- Angels, demons, and you, that intrigues me.
- 00:00:32.825 --> 00:00:35.461
- I assure you that today spiritual forces have impacted
- 00:00:35.461 --> 00:00:39.064
- Your life already.
- 00:00:39.064 --> 00:00:41.934
- Doesn't require consciousness on your part for that to be true
- 00:00:41.934 --> 00:00:44.736
- Any more than you have to be conscious of a virus or
- 00:00:44.736 --> 00:00:46.505
- A bacteria.
- 00:00:46.505 --> 00:00:49.274
- We have ignored this for far too long to our own detriment, and i
- 00:00:49.274 --> 00:00:52.878
- Believe god is awakening us to a new season.
- 00:00:52.878 --> 00:00:55.314
- In this session, i wanna talk about good and evil on display.
- 00:00:55.314 --> 00:00:59.251
- I think what's most important to understand with that is when
- 00:00:59.251 --> 00:01:01.587
- Good and evil are on display, you have a choice to make.
- 00:01:01.587 --> 00:01:04.690
- And to make no choice is to make a choice.
- 00:01:04.690 --> 00:01:07.826
- And we happen to live in a time where good and evil are being
- 00:01:07.826 --> 00:01:10.362
- Very clearly presented.
- 00:01:10.362 --> 00:01:13.365
- The middle's in trouble.
- 00:01:13.365 --> 00:01:15.534
- The gray area is really almost completely disappeared.
- 00:01:15.534 --> 00:01:19.371
- We created this kind of new class of neutral, you know, it's
- 00:01:19.371 --> 00:01:21.673
- Not good or bad, it's kind of gray.
- 00:01:21.673 --> 00:01:23.242
- I think that's really kind of evaporated.
- 00:01:23.242 --> 00:01:25.844
- Like a morning mist in tennessee when the sun comes up, and good
- 00:01:25.844 --> 00:01:30.482
- And evil are on display and we have a choice to be made.
- 00:01:30.482 --> 00:01:32.985
- The reality of spiritual forces and their influence upon our
- 00:01:32.985 --> 00:01:35.854
- Lives is plainly presented in scripture.
- 00:01:35.854 --> 00:01:38.190
- It's not a subtext, it is the story, the opening words of the
- 00:01:38.190 --> 00:01:42.594
- Bible is, "in the beginning, god created the heavens and
- 00:01:42.594 --> 00:01:45.097
- The earth."
- 00:01:45.097 --> 00:01:46.899
- A spiritual force gave rise to the matter of this world and the
- 00:01:46.899 --> 00:01:50.435
- Universe that we know.
- 00:01:50.435 --> 00:01:53.005
- We, those of us in the church have drifted far from the
- 00:01:53.005 --> 00:01:56.341
- Biblical presentation of our world, we have been deeply, so
- 00:01:56.341 --> 00:02:00.579
- Deeply influenced by the secular ideas.
- 00:02:00.579 --> 00:02:04.750
- That the result in the church, and i spent my adult life in the
- 00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:07.719
- Church, my professional life in the church, we've adopted an
- 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.756
- Easy believism
- 00:02:10.756 --> 00:02:13.091
- Which for the most part has removed scriptural authority, we
- 00:02:13.091 --> 00:02:15.961
- Judge scripture instead of allowing scripture to judge us.
- 00:02:15.961 --> 00:02:20.132
- We've removed scriptural authority and personal service
- 00:02:20.132 --> 00:02:23.268
- To our king.
- 00:02:23.268 --> 00:02:25.504
- We've replaced it with personal salvation.
- 00:02:25.504 --> 00:02:27.472
- "i'm saved, therefore i don't have to serve anybody but me."
- 00:02:27.472 --> 00:02:31.243
- It's a false gospel.
- 00:02:31.243 --> 00:02:33.412
- Spiritual forces are influencing our life on a daily basis.
- 00:02:33.412 --> 00:02:38.183
- And with that statement, i have a question, do you have a plan
- 00:02:38.183 --> 00:02:40.652
- For cooperating with god and for resisting evil?
- 00:02:40.652 --> 00:02:43.722
- If not, you're just careening through life.
- 00:02:43.722 --> 00:02:48.193
- Jesus, when he taught us to pray, included this in the
- 00:02:48.193 --> 00:02:51.063
- Prayer, "lead us not into temptation but deliver us
- 00:02:51.063 --> 00:02:54.366
- From evil."
- 00:02:54.366 --> 00:02:56.235
- When our lord began to teach us to pray, he opened, i believe
- 00:02:56.235 --> 00:03:00.405
- Every sentence in that prayer is really a file drawer of a whole
- 00:03:00.405 --> 00:03:03.976
- Type of prayer, and he introduced this idea that we
- 00:03:03.976 --> 00:03:07.446
- Have to address evil and the temptation it brings and the
- 00:03:07.446 --> 00:03:10.215
- Destruction that it represents.
- 00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:13.685
- I believe we've reached the pivot point in our journey, god
- 00:03:13.685 --> 00:03:16.655
- Has raised up voices for truth, and from my perspective, he's
- 00:03:16.655 --> 00:03:21.226
- Doing it from the most unlikely places.
- 00:03:21.226 --> 00:03:23.695
- Now we have to choose if we will align ourselves with the values
- 00:03:23.695 --> 00:03:27.332
- Of scripture or if we will remain silent, and understand
- 00:03:27.332 --> 00:03:29.635
- This, to remain silent is to side with evil, we have a choice
- 00:03:29.635 --> 00:03:33.305
- To make.
- 00:03:33.305 --> 00:03:34.673
- There's a struggle underway, are you watching?
- 00:03:34.673 --> 00:03:39.244
- In my opinion, we're engaged in a conflict that's analogous to a
- 00:03:39.244 --> 00:03:43.181
- Couple of other points in american history.
- 00:03:43.181 --> 00:03:44.883
- One would have been the american revolution and the other was the
- 00:03:44.883 --> 00:03:47.052
- Civil war.
- 00:03:47.052 --> 00:03:49.187
- I'm not suggesting we're on the precipice of taking up arms, but
- 00:03:49.187 --> 00:03:52.791
- I am suggesting to you that this season will prove to be as
- 00:03:52.791 --> 00:03:57.162
- Definitive in the future for ourselves and our families and
- 00:03:57.162 --> 00:04:00.299
- Their families after them as those two critical periods have
- 00:04:00.299 --> 00:04:03.702
- Proven to be.
- 00:04:03.702 --> 00:04:05.504
- There's a great divide right now in our nation, and it's
- 00:04:05.504 --> 00:04:07.639
- Initiated not by politics or economics or race or gender,
- 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.678
- That divide has been initiated by worldview, and it's so
- 00:04:12.678 --> 00:04:16.014
- Polarizing that negotiations really aren't reasonable.
- 00:04:16.014 --> 00:04:20.786
- Jesus didn't call us to be unified with darkness.
- 00:04:20.786 --> 00:04:23.755
- He said light and darkness don't have anything in common.
- 00:04:23.755 --> 00:04:27.125
- He said, "i didn't come to bring unity, i came to
- 00:04:27.125 --> 00:04:28.894
- Bring division."
- 00:04:28.894 --> 00:04:30.228
- And if you think you can be united with evil as an
- 00:04:30.228 --> 00:04:31.830
- Expression of godliness, you're deceived.
- 00:04:31.830 --> 00:04:34.633
- You don't have to be angry or belligerent, you certainly don't
- 00:04:34.633 --> 00:04:36.868
- Need to be violent, but folks, we've been compromising for far
- 00:04:36.868 --> 00:04:39.905
- Too long.
- 00:04:39.905 --> 00:04:41.273
- We've compromised ourselves almost out the door.
- 00:04:41.273 --> 00:04:45.477
- So i have some questions, are you engaged or are
- 00:04:45.477 --> 00:04:47.412
- You complaining?
- 00:04:47.412 --> 00:04:48.747
- Do you know with whom you are aligned?
- 00:04:48.747 --> 00:04:50.449
- Is it clear to the people who know you know with whom
- 00:04:50.449 --> 00:04:52.851
- You're aligned?
- 00:04:52.851 --> 00:04:54.419
- How do you understand what is happening?
- 00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:57.022
- Do you imagine it to be a political struggle, a debate
- 00:04:57.022 --> 00:04:59.891
- About economic resources?
- 00:04:59.891 --> 00:05:01.226
- Is it primarily a racial conflict?
- 00:05:01.226 --> 00:05:03.095
- Is it about national sovereignty?
- 00:05:03.095 --> 00:05:06.131
- How do you understand?
- 00:05:06.131 --> 00:05:08.633
- Maybe even more germane, do you even care?
- 00:05:08.633 --> 00:05:12.204
- I find the prevailing attitude to be, they just like the
- 00:05:12.204 --> 00:05:15.540
- Tension to dissipate.
- 00:05:15.540 --> 00:05:18.543
- And if they could ask for one more thing, could the price of
- 00:05:18.543 --> 00:05:20.979
- Eggs and gasoline go down, please?
- 00:05:20.979 --> 00:05:24.983
- I just wanna stay focused on my personal agenda.
- 00:05:24.983 --> 00:05:28.587
- I'm confident that i'm born again, that i've entered into
- 00:05:28.587 --> 00:05:30.889
- The kingdom of god, that i've been saved, and the rest of that
- 00:05:30.889 --> 00:05:33.258
- Stuff, i just don't want to engage.
- 00:05:33.258 --> 00:05:36.828
- Well, how you answer these questions is very important,
- 00:05:36.828 --> 00:05:39.931
- Not just for your journey through time, but for
- 00:05:39.931 --> 00:05:41.533
- Your eternity.
- 00:05:41.533 --> 00:05:43.402
- Honoring god and cooperating with him provides the best
- 00:05:43.402 --> 00:05:46.204
- Possible outcome for human beings in our world.
- 00:05:46.204 --> 00:05:50.008
- That's not a statement that will get much support amongst the
- 00:05:50.008 --> 00:05:53.979
- Conventional wisdom of this generation.
- 00:05:53.979 --> 00:05:56.248
- I want to say it again, that honoring god and cooperating
- 00:05:56.248 --> 00:05:59.985
- With him provides the best possible outcome for a human
- 00:05:59.985 --> 00:06:04.222
- Being in this world.
- 00:06:04.222 --> 00:06:07.092
- If you're doing the daily bible reading with us, and if you're
- 00:06:11.296 --> 00:06:14.032
- Not, why not?
- 00:06:14.032 --> 00:06:16.701
- What exactly, never mind, i've said that enough.
- 00:06:16.701 --> 00:06:20.205
- Join us, at the moment we're in the gospel of john, and the
- 00:06:20.205 --> 00:06:24.142
- Study today really comes from that daily reading.
- 00:06:24.142 --> 00:06:26.044
- It wasn't my plan, i'd written another lesson, but as i was
- 00:06:26.044 --> 00:06:29.181
- Doing the reading this week, it just seemed too important to
- 00:06:29.181 --> 00:06:31.283
- Walk past it.
- 00:06:31.283 --> 00:06:32.951
- In john's gospel there's a tremendous tension.
- 00:06:32.951 --> 00:06:36.988
- If you kind of step into the narrative, when i read the pages
- 00:06:36.988 --> 00:06:39.825
- Like that, i try to imagine i'm in the crowd.
- 00:06:39.825 --> 00:06:43.261
- I'll put myself in different positions.
- 00:06:43.261 --> 00:06:45.564
- I'll say, you know, if i was a pharisee, how would i respond
- 00:06:45.564 --> 00:06:47.632
- To that?
- 00:06:47.632 --> 00:06:49.668
- If i was one of the chief priests, what would i think
- 00:06:49.668 --> 00:06:51.803
- About this?
- 00:06:51.803 --> 00:06:53.405
- If i was one of the disciples that jesus recruited, what would
- 00:06:53.405 --> 00:06:56.241
- My comment be?
- 00:06:56.241 --> 00:06:57.909
- So i kind of get up and move around different chairs.
- 00:06:57.909 --> 00:06:59.778
- I'll freeze the scene and move to the--another chair and then
- 00:06:59.778 --> 00:07:02.314
- I'll hit play again.
- 00:07:02.314 --> 00:07:04.749
- By the time i've walked through john's gospel, there was
- 00:07:04.749 --> 00:07:07.052
- Something alive about it that i think is relevant and very
- 00:07:07.052 --> 00:07:09.554
- Analogous to our season.
- 00:07:09.554 --> 00:07:11.723
- And i'll start with the very prevalence of
- 00:07:11.723 --> 00:07:13.658
- Demonic opposition.
- 00:07:13.658 --> 00:07:15.026
- I don't think there's another way to understand
- 00:07:15.026 --> 00:07:16.361
- What's happening.
- 00:07:16.361 --> 00:07:18.230
- It can't fully be explained in terms of politics or power.
- 00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:23.034
- Other explanations are just insufficient.
- 00:07:23.034 --> 00:07:26.004
- The jewish people are waiting for a messiah.
- 00:07:26.004 --> 00:07:29.074
- Jesus fulfills dozens of prophecies, not one or two,
- 00:07:29.074 --> 00:07:32.010
- Dozens and dozens of prophecies.
- 00:07:32.010 --> 00:07:34.179
- He's performing miracles of a magnitude that until this day
- 00:07:34.179 --> 00:07:38.049
- We'll talk about something being a biblical proportion if it's
- 00:07:38.049 --> 00:07:41.920
- Beyond the imagination.
- 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.222
- He's walking on the water and turning water into wine and
- 00:07:44.222 --> 00:07:46.625
- Raising the dead and opening the eyes of people born blind,
- 00:07:46.625 --> 00:07:50.729
- No parallels.
- 00:07:50.729 --> 00:07:54.566
- And there are many people who believe and follow, and yet
- 00:07:54.566 --> 00:07:57.402
- There is stubborn, unrelenting hatred.
- 00:07:57.402 --> 00:08:00.539
- Why would you hate on somebody that's opening the eyes of
- 00:08:00.539 --> 00:08:02.941
- People who were born blind?
- 00:08:02.941 --> 00:08:06.645
- It's irrational, when you see something that's irrational and
- 00:08:06.645 --> 00:08:09.347
- Illogical and so destructive,
- 00:08:09.347 --> 00:08:12.484
- Understand beneath that is something demonic, an evil
- 00:08:12.484 --> 00:08:16.187
- Spiritual force.
- 00:08:16.187 --> 00:08:18.156
- It isn't just political or economic.
- 00:08:18.156 --> 00:08:22.894
- You find in the gospel, there's no willingness to negotiate.
- 00:08:22.894 --> 00:08:25.463
- There's no search for common ground.
- 00:08:25.463 --> 00:08:27.465
- "we have to shut this down," they say over and over again.
- 00:08:27.465 --> 00:08:33.071
- Sounds a great deal like the world we live in,
- 00:08:33.071 --> 00:08:36.341
- It's irrational.
- 00:08:36.341 --> 00:08:38.743
- Why would we offer up our children as sacrifices before
- 00:08:38.743 --> 00:08:41.613
- They ever draw a breath and call it choice?
- 00:08:41.613 --> 00:08:44.683
- Why would we mutilate our teenagers without
- 00:08:44.683 --> 00:08:46.484
- Parental approval?
- 00:08:46.484 --> 00:08:49.220
- And call it enlightenment, it's demonic.
- 00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:52.824
- And we're reluctant to use our voices, but we're not unique.
- 00:08:52.824 --> 00:08:55.727
- Wait till we look at john.
- 00:08:55.727 --> 00:08:58.129
- In john chapter 7, jesus speaks very plainly about another
- 00:08:58.129 --> 00:09:02.100
- Dimension, and when i talk about angels, demons, and you, we've
- 00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:05.337
- Got to cross over.
- 00:09:05.337 --> 00:09:06.705
- We live so fully engaged in this world that's defined by our five
- 00:09:06.705 --> 00:09:10.208
- Senses that we've almost totally denied the existence of a
- 00:09:10.208 --> 00:09:13.411
- Spiritual world in the church.
- 00:09:13.411 --> 00:09:16.982
- Oh, we'll talk about it in the first century, somehow unique to
- 00:09:16.982 --> 00:09:19.851
- Their worldview, but we're more sophisticated now, more
- 00:09:19.851 --> 00:09:22.654
- Sophisticated than jesus, are we?
- 00:09:22.654 --> 00:09:26.124
- More sophisticated than god, the creator of heaven and earth.
- 00:09:26.124 --> 00:09:29.761
- You'll believe in a big bang where something came from
- 00:09:29.761 --> 00:09:32.397
- Nothing, but you won't believe in god.
- 00:09:32.397 --> 00:09:38.303
- It's demonic, and those demonic forces are still present in
- 00:09:38.303 --> 00:09:42.574
- Our world.
- 00:09:42.574 --> 00:09:44.609
- Jesus clearly talks about being sent from somewhere else by
- 00:09:44.609 --> 00:09:49.247
- Someone who's there.
- 00:09:49.247 --> 00:09:51.583
- He said, "i came into this world sent by my father."
- 00:09:51.583 --> 00:09:54.052
- He talks about this world as if it's a destination on a cruise.
- 00:09:54.052 --> 00:10:00.191
- "i'm from another realm," he says.
- 00:10:00.191 --> 00:10:02.727
- "i'm the king of a kingdom, but not of this world," he says.
- 00:10:02.727 --> 00:10:06.965
- The chief priest want jesus arrested, it's a
- 00:10:06.965 --> 00:10:09.234
- Demonic response.
- 00:10:09.234 --> 00:10:10.702
- He is their messiah.
- 00:10:10.702 --> 00:10:14.005
- Ah, you can give me these shallow explanations, and it was
- 00:10:14.005 --> 00:10:16.608
- About power and economics, but that's really not adequate,
- 00:10:16.608 --> 00:10:20.478
- The hatred they demonstrate.
- 00:10:20.478 --> 00:10:24.049
- In the same scene, we'll see it repeatedly, there are people who
- 00:10:24.049 --> 00:10:26.985
- Believe, and people who demand his arrest.
- 00:10:26.985 --> 00:10:30.121
- I want us to be sure we see that because we're living in a very
- 00:10:30.121 --> 00:10:32.891
- Similar time, there's a parallel.
- 00:10:32.891 --> 00:10:35.560
- We live in a time where within the churches there are people
- 00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:37.929
- Go, that's godly and there are other people go, that's evil,
- 00:10:37.929 --> 00:10:40.565
- You got to choose.
- 00:10:40.565 --> 00:10:41.966
- You better understand which spirit is influencing you.
- 00:10:45.904 --> 00:10:49.474
- There's a lot of things being pushed as biblical that have
- 00:10:49.474 --> 00:10:51.643
- Nothing to do with the biblical worldview
- 00:10:51.643 --> 00:10:55.447
- By people who have significant credentials.
- 00:10:55.447 --> 00:10:59.684
- You better know your bible.
- 00:10:59.684 --> 00:11:01.686
- That's why reading the bible is so important.
- 00:11:01.686 --> 00:11:03.054
- John chapter 7 and verse 28, we're just gonna walk through
- 00:11:03.054 --> 00:11:04.689
- The gospel together.
- 00:11:04.689 --> 00:11:07.425
- "jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out."
- 00:11:07.425 --> 00:11:11.863
- The language is important, he's crying out, there's a desperate
- 00:11:11.863 --> 00:11:20.004
- Tone to it.
- 00:11:20.004 --> 00:11:21.372
- "yes, you know me, and you know where i'm from, but i'm not here
- 00:11:21.372 --> 00:11:24.209
- On my own.
- 00:11:24.209 --> 00:11:25.977
- He who sent me is true, but you don't know him.
- 00:11:25.977 --> 00:11:30.482
- I know him because i am from him and he sent me."
- 00:11:30.482 --> 00:11:33.118
- Again, jesus is having a dimensional conversation
- 00:11:33.118 --> 00:11:35.754
- With them.
- 00:11:35.754 --> 00:11:37.122
- It's going past most of them.
- 00:11:37.122 --> 00:11:38.590
- These are the covenant people of god he's talking to.
- 00:11:38.590 --> 00:11:41.192
- These aren't, if we used it in a contemporary setting, he's
- 00:11:41.192 --> 00:11:43.328
- Talking to church folks.
- 00:11:43.328 --> 00:11:45.463
- People that that have taught sunday school classes and they
- 00:11:45.463 --> 00:11:47.999
- Volunteered, they're fully engaged.
- 00:11:47.999 --> 00:11:50.435
- This particular group of people keep the kosher rules, they keep
- 00:11:50.435 --> 00:11:53.671
- All the right holidays, passover and sukkot, and they support the
- 00:11:53.671 --> 00:11:58.910
- Temple in jerusalem and they're used to the daily sacrifices.
- 00:11:58.910 --> 00:12:01.713
- They know all the stuff just like a fully engaged church
- 00:12:01.713 --> 00:12:04.883
- Person would today.
- 00:12:04.883 --> 00:12:07.585
- But they can't see what god is doing right in front of them.
- 00:12:07.585 --> 00:12:10.221
- Is it possible, is it possible god could do something and we
- 00:12:10.221 --> 00:12:13.591
- Could miss it?
- 00:12:13.591 --> 00:12:14.993
- If your answer is no, you're already deceived.
- 00:12:14.993 --> 00:12:19.030
- If you're not on a regular basis saying, "god, help me to see,
- 00:12:19.030 --> 00:12:22.600
- Give me an understanding heart."
- 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.870
- We're lost, the evidence of our light being dim is all
- 00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:30.608
- Around us.
- 00:12:30.608 --> 00:12:32.310
- Verse 29, jesus said, "'i know him because i am from him, and
- 00:12:32.310 --> 00:12:35.313
- He sent me,' and at this, they tried to," what?
- 00:12:35.313 --> 00:12:40.285
- "seize him."
- 00:12:40.285 --> 00:12:43.454
- They want to arrest him?
- 00:12:43.454 --> 00:12:45.456
- They're so angered by what he just said, "but no one laid a
- 00:12:45.456 --> 00:12:48.960
- Hand on him, because his time had not yet come."
- 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.262
- That's an interesting, see john's writing this after
- 00:12:51.262 --> 00:12:53.765
- The fact.
- 00:12:53.765 --> 00:12:55.166
- This isn't a video loop, you're not watching it in real time.
- 00:12:55.166 --> 00:12:58.970
- John writes it down after the fact that he puts in what he's
- 00:12:58.970 --> 00:13:01.973
- Come to understand.
- 00:13:01.973 --> 00:13:03.908
- It's an insertion into the narrative.
- 00:13:03.908 --> 00:13:06.311
- And he said, "they wanted to seize him, but they couldn't
- 00:13:06.311 --> 00:13:09.581
- Because his time had not yet come."
- 00:13:09.581 --> 00:13:12.116
- There's a time when they came to seize him and john was there in
- 00:13:12.116 --> 00:13:14.652
- The garden, they came to get jesus.
- 00:13:14.652 --> 00:13:18.389
- And to the disciples's amazement,
- 00:13:18.389 --> 00:13:19.724
- This time they took him away.
- 00:13:19.724 --> 00:13:23.261
- Remember what it says, when they came to arrest him and jesus
- 00:13:23.261 --> 00:13:25.763
- Turned and spoke to him, the guards that came were knocked
- 00:13:25.763 --> 00:13:27.765
- Backwards to the ground.
- 00:13:27.765 --> 00:13:29.901
- You kind of see the knowing looks amongst the disciples,
- 00:13:29.901 --> 00:13:32.136
- Yeah, this isn't gonna work well for them.
- 00:13:32.136 --> 00:13:35.273
- Until they took jesus away in chains.
- 00:13:35.273 --> 00:13:38.877
- It's a bigger shock because they've seen him time after time
- 00:13:38.877 --> 00:13:41.579
- When it wasn't yet his time.
- 00:13:41.579 --> 00:13:44.649
- And so the powers of this age didn't have the authority
- 00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:48.987
- Over him.
- 00:13:48.987 --> 00:13:51.990
- Look at the next verse.
- 00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:53.324
- No one laid a hand on him because his time had not
- 00:13:53.324 --> 00:13:54.926
- Yet come.
- 00:13:54.926 --> 00:13:56.261
- "still, many in the crowd put their faith in him.
- 00:13:56.261 --> 00:13:59.030
- They said, 'when the messiah comes, will he do more
- 00:13:59.030 --> 00:14:00.798
- Miraculous signs than this man?'
- 00:14:00.798 --> 00:14:04.402
- And the pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things
- 00:14:04.402 --> 00:14:06.938
- About him, and the chief priest in the pharisees sent temple
- 00:14:06.938 --> 00:14:09.841
- Guards to arrest him."
- 00:14:09.841 --> 00:14:12.443
- There's some in the crowd going, "it certainly looks legitimate
- 00:14:12.443 --> 00:14:16.080
- To me.
- 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.349
- It's important, i think this is good stuff."
- 00:14:18.349 --> 00:14:20.285
- And there's others saying, "it couldn't be good stuff, we're
- 00:14:20.285 --> 00:14:24.022
- With the power brokers."
- 00:14:24.022 --> 00:14:27.025
- There's a lot of division, some want to arrest him, some wanna
- 00:14:27.025 --> 00:14:30.561
- Follow him.
- 00:14:30.561 --> 00:14:32.997
- Even in jesus's day folks.
- 00:14:32.997 --> 00:14:34.999
- Why do we think the spiritual conflict will lessen as we
- 00:14:34.999 --> 00:14:37.435
- Approach the end of the age?
- 00:14:37.435 --> 00:14:38.770
- The bible tells us just the opposite, that it
- 00:14:38.770 --> 00:14:40.438
- Will intensify.
- 00:14:40.438 --> 00:14:42.507
- There'll be greater division, you'll have to know the truth.
- 00:14:42.507 --> 00:14:46.911
- You'll have to know the truth, you know, the introduction of ai
- 00:14:46.911 --> 00:14:49.147
- Is making the manipulation of communication much, much easier.
- 00:14:49.147 --> 00:14:52.150
- It's harder to know what's authentic and what is not.
- 00:14:52.150 --> 00:14:55.853
- The same is true with the truth.
- 00:14:55.853 --> 00:15:00.959
- Allen: i believe god is moving in the earth in an unprecedented
- 00:15:05.163 --> 00:15:08.099
- Way and at the heart of that is an awakening, it's a shaking,
- 00:15:08.099 --> 00:15:12.103
- And in that shaking, there's a sifting.
- 00:15:12.103 --> 00:15:13.738
- There are people falling through the cracks and there are people
- 00:15:13.738 --> 00:15:15.873
- Becoming more alert and aware of what god is doing.
- 00:15:15.873 --> 00:15:18.943
- At the heart of that is the acknowledgment, the realization
- 00:15:18.943 --> 00:15:22.513
- That spiritual forces shape our lives.
- 00:15:22.513 --> 00:15:25.550
- Folks, this isn't for the lunatic fringe, this isn't for
- 00:15:25.550 --> 00:15:28.519
- The hyper-spiritual people.
- 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.955
- This is the stuff of the bible and it better be the stuff of
- 00:15:30.955 --> 00:15:33.391
- Our lives or we are in a tremendous deficit position.
- 00:15:33.391 --> 00:15:37.929
- Well, i've written a book, "angels, demons and you."
- 00:15:37.929 --> 00:15:40.598
- Simply a biblical review of those spiritual forces that are
- 00:15:40.598 --> 00:15:43.868
- Impacting us today, there's a battle in the earth and it's not
- 00:15:43.868 --> 00:15:47.238
- Between armies wearing the labels of nations or terrorist
- 00:15:47.238 --> 00:15:50.141
- Groups, it's a spiritual battle.
- 00:15:50.141 --> 00:15:52.377
- If you don't understand, if you don't understand the equipment
- 00:15:52.377 --> 00:15:54.979
- And the authority you've been given, you are at a tremendous
- 00:15:54.979 --> 00:15:58.583
- Position of forfeiture.
- 00:15:58.583 --> 00:16:00.818
- Don't live that way, "angels, demons and you," you need
- 00:16:00.818 --> 00:16:04.055
- The solution.
- 00:16:04.055 --> 00:16:05.723
- Female announcer: loneliness, depression, despair, they all
- 00:16:05.723 --> 00:16:09.027
- Have a spiritual origin.
- 00:16:09.027 --> 00:16:10.628
- We're in a spiritual battle, and the forces of evil stand against
- 00:16:10.628 --> 00:16:14.198
- Us, but we don't need to be afraid, we need to prepare.
- 00:16:14.198 --> 00:16:18.202
- Allen: jesus said the children have angels assigned to them
- 00:16:18.202 --> 00:16:20.772
- That have the father's attention.
- 00:16:20.772 --> 00:16:22.340
- It's safe to say that in the kingdom of god there are
- 00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.443
- Spiritual beings in significant number.
- 00:16:25.443 --> 00:16:30.014
- And they're ministering spirits, the bible says, sent forth to
- 00:16:30.014 --> 00:16:33.151
- Help us.
- 00:16:33.151 --> 00:16:34.819
- They're messengers, they fill the pages of scripture, and yet
- 00:16:34.819 --> 00:16:37.789
- We tend to kind of imagine as if it's peripheral, secondary, that
- 00:16:37.789 --> 00:16:41.859
- You could be a christ follower, not really be engaged or have to
- 00:16:41.859 --> 00:16:44.662
- Imagine spiritual forces.
- 00:16:44.662 --> 00:16:46.697
- We believe in organizations.
- 00:16:46.697 --> 00:16:49.333
- Well, so do i, i like a good plan and i like an organization
- 00:16:49.333 --> 00:16:53.838
- That is run well, but i don't want to--it's not an either or
- 00:16:53.838 --> 00:16:57.075
- Equation and i certainly don't want to exchange the power of
- 00:16:57.075 --> 00:17:01.279
- God and the spiritual help that he's made available to us for
- 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.315
- The imagination that we can out-organize evil.
- 00:17:04.315 --> 00:17:06.717

- 00:18:27.598 --> 00:18:30.501
- Here with allen jackson ministries.
- 00:18:30.501 --> 00:18:32.837
- Allen: john chapter 10.
- 00:18:36.374 --> 00:18:38.643
- Jesus again, "don't believe me unless i do what my father says.
- 00:18:38.643 --> 00:18:42.547
- But if i do it, even though you don't believe me, believe the
- 00:18:42.547 --> 00:18:45.149
- Miracles that you may know and understand that the father is in
- 00:18:45.149 --> 00:18:48.252
- Me and i am the father."
- 00:18:48.252 --> 00:18:50.288
- He said, "listen, if you don't believe me, look at
- 00:18:50.288 --> 00:18:52.223
- The evidence."
- 00:18:52.223 --> 00:18:53.591
- He said, "something's happening that you can't do.
- 00:18:53.591 --> 00:18:57.228
- There's something working on my behalf."
- 00:18:57.228 --> 00:18:59.997
- In verse 39, "and again they tried to seize him, but he
- 00:18:59.997 --> 00:19:05.069
- Escaped their grasp.
- 00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:08.406
- Then jesus went back across the jordan to the place where john
- 00:19:08.406 --> 00:19:11.175
- Had been baptizing in early days.
- 00:19:11.175 --> 00:19:13.678
- And here he stayed and many people came to him and they
- 00:19:13.678 --> 00:19:15.947
- Said, 'though john never performed a miraculous sign, all
- 00:19:15.947 --> 00:19:18.783
- That john said about this man was true.'
- 00:19:18.783 --> 00:19:21.519
- And in that place, many believed in jesus."
- 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.189
- Many wanted to arrest him, many powerful people, but there are
- 00:19:25.189 --> 00:19:30.294
- Many who believe in him.
- 00:19:30.294 --> 00:19:31.696
- See, i think we've been waiting for a revival where
- 00:19:31.696 --> 00:19:33.965
- Everybody's in,
- 00:19:33.965 --> 00:19:36.234
- So it doesn't require us to stand out.
- 00:19:36.234 --> 00:19:39.470
- We're praying for this awakening where everybody, all of our
- 00:19:39.470 --> 00:19:41.872
- Friends and our peers and everybody that goes to a church
- 00:19:41.872 --> 00:19:44.909
- And everybody we've ever known, they're all going, "oh yeah, i
- 00:19:44.909 --> 00:19:47.111
- Love jesus."
- 00:19:47.111 --> 00:19:50.281
- Because it won't require anything of us except to kind of
- 00:19:50.281 --> 00:19:52.149
- Swim along in the stream and go, "oh, me too."
- 00:19:52.149 --> 00:19:56.854
- That's really not what the bible shows us even when jesus
- 00:19:56.854 --> 00:19:59.257
- Was here.
- 00:19:59.257 --> 00:20:00.625
- Very polarizing, people happy, people being blessed, people are
- 00:20:00.625 --> 00:20:05.162
- Experiencing god, people are very angry, very condemning on
- 00:20:05.162 --> 00:20:09.233
- Multiple occasions, it says they sent people to try to
- 00:20:09.233 --> 00:20:11.535
- Entrap jesus.
- 00:20:11.535 --> 00:20:13.170
- That sounds contemporary.
- 00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:16.841
- "can you find something about him we can accuse him for?
- 00:20:16.841 --> 00:20:18.776
- Go search through his background, do a deep dive into
- 00:20:18.776 --> 00:20:20.945
- His background.
- 00:20:20.945 --> 00:20:22.313
- What can we accuse him of?"
- 00:20:22.313 --> 00:20:26.651
- Very much like what we're watching.
- 00:20:26.651 --> 00:20:29.020
- I would submit to you that there are miraculous signs happening
- 00:20:29.020 --> 00:20:31.455
- All around us, around us of biblical proportion.
- 00:20:31.455 --> 00:20:36.594
- But it doesn't remove us from the struggle, and it doesn't
- 00:20:36.594 --> 00:20:38.996
- Mean we always get easy solutions.
- 00:20:38.996 --> 00:20:41.332
- And the fact that one person experienced a miracle doesn't
- 00:20:41.332 --> 00:20:43.434
- Mean we all get one.
- 00:20:43.434 --> 00:20:44.769
- The man who was born blind and was healed in jerusalem, i
- 00:20:44.769 --> 00:20:47.238
- Promise you there were other blind people in jerusalem.
- 00:20:47.238 --> 00:20:50.808
- When jesus walked up to the pools of bethesda and he healed
- 00:20:50.808 --> 00:20:53.144
- A man that had been 38 years sick.
- 00:20:53.144 --> 00:20:56.614
- He didn't heal everybody at the pool, he walked away.
- 00:20:56.614 --> 00:21:01.152
- There's miracles happening around today.
- 00:21:01.152 --> 00:21:02.920
- If we will believe it, if we'll open our hearts amongst us, our
- 00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.424
- Little congregation, our little community of believers.
- 00:21:06.424 --> 00:21:10.328
- We showed you a clip from a podcast, we post one
- 00:21:10.328 --> 00:21:12.530
- Every friday.
- 00:21:12.530 --> 00:21:13.864
- I've come to really enjoy those conversations.
- 00:21:13.864 --> 00:21:15.633
- We're interviewing people for whom god is doing
- 00:21:15.633 --> 00:21:17.601
- Remarkable things.
- 00:21:17.601 --> 00:21:20.004
- I sat down a few weeks ago with the two brothers, they're twins.
- 00:21:20.004 --> 00:21:23.240
- One of them had taken his brother to the doctor for a
- 00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:28.612
- Simple procedure, and before he got to the doctor's office,
- 00:21:28.612 --> 00:21:31.182
- He collapsed.
- 00:21:31.182 --> 00:21:33.517
- His heart quit, and it took way too long to get him
- 00:21:33.517 --> 00:21:37.788
- Resuscitated, almost a half an hour.
- 00:21:37.788 --> 00:21:43.160
- They said he's--they managed to get his heart going in, but i
- 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.030
- Was there by that time when the doctor came in and said he was
- 00:21:46.030 --> 00:21:48.065
- Gone too long.
- 00:21:48.065 --> 00:21:50.735
- We're gonna keep him sedated for a while, we don't know what the
- 00:21:50.735 --> 00:21:54.538
- Outcome will be, but i don't wanna give you any reason
- 00:21:54.538 --> 00:21:57.775
- For hope.
- 00:21:57.775 --> 00:21:59.810
- When they woke him up four days later, this is in the words of
- 00:21:59.810 --> 00:22:02.646
- His brother.
- 00:22:02.646 --> 00:22:04.382
- Well, he's as normal as he's ever been.
- 00:22:04.382 --> 00:22:11.255
- He did, they woke him up, they asked him a question, he
- 00:22:15.393 --> 00:22:17.395
- Answered the question like a smart aleck, and his brother
- 00:22:17.395 --> 00:22:19.296
- Said, "he's fine, let us go home."
- 00:22:19.296 --> 00:22:20.865
- They hand out bulletins in the church.
- 00:22:23.901 --> 00:22:26.437
- You walk by lazarus every week?
- 00:22:26.437 --> 00:22:29.573
- And people go, well, i don't believe in miracles.
- 00:22:29.573 --> 00:22:31.242
- Well, i can introduce you to one.
- 00:22:31.242 --> 00:22:33.411
- I can introduce you to several, we did a podcast a few weeks ago
- 00:22:33.411 --> 00:22:35.913
- With brad arnold, he's the lead singer of 3 doors down.
- 00:22:35.913 --> 00:22:40.351
- Do you know them?
- 00:22:40.351 --> 00:22:41.685
- Some of you do, you just don't want to admit it in church.
- 00:22:41.685 --> 00:22:43.621
- It's a rock band.
- 00:22:43.621 --> 00:22:46.090
- He was one of the founding members.
- 00:22:46.090 --> 00:22:47.425
- He's been with him a long time, a lot of success, lot
- 00:22:47.425 --> 00:22:49.860
- Of success.
- 00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:51.395
- He said "we achieved everything i could imagine really
- 00:22:51.395 --> 00:22:53.798
- Professionally," he said, "but i was in a desperate place."
- 00:22:53.798 --> 00:22:56.767
- He was on tour. he tells it in the podcast.
- 00:22:56.767 --> 00:22:58.102
- He says, "were on tour in japan."
- 00:22:58.102 --> 00:23:00.638
- And he said, "i really came to the end of myself."
- 00:23:00.638 --> 00:23:02.907
- He said, "i wasn't sure there was a reason to go on anymore."
- 00:23:02.907 --> 00:23:06.243
- And he said, "i tried to find somebody back in the states
- 00:23:06.243 --> 00:23:08.112
- That would talk to me."
- 00:23:08.112 --> 00:23:09.447
- And he said, "nobody was answering my call," but he said,
- 00:23:09.447 --> 00:23:10.915
- "charlie daniels answered."
- 00:23:10.915 --> 00:23:14.351
- Now, and this is what he said.
- 00:23:14.351 --> 00:23:15.686
- He said, "brad, do you love your wife?"
- 00:23:15.686 --> 00:23:17.054
- And he said, "i do."
- 00:23:17.054 --> 00:23:18.389
- And he said, "then why are you killing your husband?"
- 00:23:18.389 --> 00:23:20.458
- He was an addict with all sorts of problems.
- 00:23:20.458 --> 00:23:22.326
- He said, "you need to get home.
- 00:23:22.326 --> 00:23:24.595
- Get your life straight, get your faith in its place."
- 00:23:24.595 --> 00:23:27.565
- And he did, he's had a remarkable transformation in
- 00:23:27.565 --> 00:23:31.435
- His life.
- 00:23:31.435 --> 00:23:32.803
- You know what he's doing now in his concerts?
- 00:23:32.803 --> 00:23:34.171
- I watched, i watched the clip, madison square garden, filled
- 00:23:34.171 --> 00:23:39.076
- With people to hear 3 doors down.
- 00:23:39.076 --> 00:23:41.912
- I mean that's not usually like the audience that wants to hear
- 00:23:41.912 --> 00:23:43.814
- From the gospel.
- 00:23:43.814 --> 00:23:45.583
- And he stopped and in the most humble, gentle way told them
- 00:23:45.583 --> 00:23:49.687
- About his faith.
- 00:23:49.687 --> 00:23:52.156
- We say we can't take jesus to work with us and he's taking him
- 00:23:52.156 --> 00:23:54.725
- To concerts.
- 00:23:54.725 --> 00:23:58.395
- I interviewed granger smith in one of those podcasts, church,
- 00:23:58.395 --> 00:24:03.067
- Country musician, platinum albums, a lot of success and
- 00:24:03.067 --> 00:24:06.704
- Tragedy struck.
- 00:24:06.704 --> 00:24:09.840
- Their young child drowned.
- 00:24:09.840 --> 00:24:13.010
- And he said, "my wife--we did everything we were supposed
- 00:24:13.010 --> 00:24:14.912
- To do."
- 00:24:14.912 --> 00:24:16.247
- He said, "i read the books, i went to the seminars.
- 00:24:16.247 --> 00:24:18.115
- We began to rebuild our lives, we had two other children."
- 00:24:18.115 --> 00:24:20.951
- He said, "it looked like--" he said, "we went to church.
- 00:24:20.951 --> 00:24:22.887
- I went to church."
- 00:24:22.887 --> 00:24:24.221
- He said, "i would have told you i was a christian."
- 00:24:24.221 --> 00:24:25.956
- He said, "i was back doing concerts and i forget which
- 00:24:29.593 --> 00:24:33.097
- State he was in," and he said after the concert, he's
- 00:24:33.097 --> 00:24:34.899
- Something so dark, he struggled to find the words.
- 00:24:34.899 --> 00:24:38.435
- He finally said it was just something evil.
- 00:24:38.435 --> 00:24:40.337
- He said, "i was at the bottom of a black place."
- 00:24:40.337 --> 00:24:44.241
- He said the only thing i could think of was i didn't need to
- 00:24:44.241 --> 00:24:46.343
- Live anymore.
- 00:24:46.343 --> 00:24:48.913
- And i remembered my mom saying, "jesus help me."
- 00:24:48.913 --> 00:24:55.052
- He said, "i was on my knees in the floor of the bus."
- 00:24:55.052 --> 00:24:57.187
- And he said, "jesus help me."
- 00:24:57.187 --> 00:24:59.723
- And he said, "my mind cleared."
- 00:24:59.723 --> 00:25:03.494
- Miracles are happening all around us, folks,
- 00:25:03.494 --> 00:25:06.830
- All of the time.
- 00:25:06.830 --> 00:25:10.234
- I sat with dr. carol swain just a few days ago.
- 00:25:10.234 --> 00:25:14.138
- She was born into horrible poverty.
- 00:25:14.138 --> 00:25:17.875
- I think it was one of 12 children, big family, lots
- 00:25:17.875 --> 00:25:20.010
- Of kids.
- 00:25:20.010 --> 00:25:21.812
- She was married as a teenager, had lots of children
- 00:25:21.812 --> 00:25:24.281
- Very quickly.
- 00:25:24.281 --> 00:25:26.417
- Dropped out of school.
- 00:25:26.417 --> 00:25:28.819
- No momentum in her life, no hope, no future, no chance.
- 00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:33.524
- She's earned multiple graduate degrees.
- 00:25:33.524 --> 00:25:37.561
- She was a tenured faculty member at princeton and vanderbilt.
- 00:25:37.561 --> 00:25:42.099
- She's a leading voice in our nation for education from a
- 00:25:42.099 --> 00:25:45.002
- Godly worldview, a godly perspective.
- 00:25:45.002 --> 00:25:47.805
- Only god can do that with a human life.
- 00:25:47.805 --> 00:25:52.042
- Now we've got a choice to make.
- 00:25:52.042 --> 00:25:54.678
- Are we gonna believe in angels and demons and that they
- 00:25:54.678 --> 00:25:56.981
- Affect us?
- 00:25:56.981 --> 00:25:58.816
- Are we gonna sit and have a polite bible study and keep
- 00:25:58.816 --> 00:26:01.385
- Kicking the can down the road and go, "i don't know."
- 00:26:01.385 --> 00:26:05.022
- What's it gonna take for you to make a decision?
- 00:26:05.022 --> 00:26:08.225
- You're gonna keep voting with the pharisees and the
- 00:26:08.225 --> 00:26:10.194
- Chief priests?
- 00:26:10.194 --> 00:26:12.363
- You're gonna keep voting with the power brokers because you
- 00:26:12.363 --> 00:26:14.331
- Don't want to be ostracized?
- 00:26:14.331 --> 00:26:17.768
- You're gonna continue to refuse to take jesus into the public
- 00:26:17.768 --> 00:26:20.237
- Square or the marketplace where god sends you, because there
- 00:26:20.237 --> 00:26:23.073
- Might be a price attached?
- 00:26:23.073 --> 00:26:24.575
- We've got some questions to answer.
- 00:26:28.345 --> 00:26:32.116
- Like, i brought you a little prayer.
- 00:26:32.116 --> 00:26:33.484
- I wonder if you just repeat it with me.
- 00:26:33.484 --> 00:26:34.952
- I've been praying a little prayer since i started this
- 00:26:34.952 --> 00:26:37.187
- Study, "lord, i wanna see, lord i--" it's not in your notes.
- 00:26:37.187 --> 00:26:41.091
- "i got the cheap copy, there's no prayer."
- 00:26:45.029 --> 00:26:48.265
- It's a simple prayer, you know this one intuitively.
- 00:26:48.265 --> 00:26:50.534
- You can just repeat it after me, "almighty god, open my eyes to
- 00:26:50.534 --> 00:26:55.105
- See what you're doing.
- 00:26:55.105 --> 00:26:58.776
- Give me the wisdom to say yes to you and no to ungodliness.
- 00:26:58.776 --> 00:27:06.350
- In jesus's name, amen."
- 00:27:06.350 --> 00:27:10.220
- ♪♪♪
- 00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:10.220
