I may have missed it. Come up here and stand beside of him. These two got saved with him, what, three days each other? Yes, sir. And they both just got ruined the right way. Amen. You'll read your poem. Praise God. I just thank the Lord for his love, mercy and grace. Just thank the Lord for everything he's done for me. I don't deserve to be standing here, but He makes me worthy through His blood, and I thank God for the blood of the Lamb that was shed for our sins. I thank God for everything He does for us. I just want to thank the Lord for saving me and all He's done for me. He's been so good to me. Changed my life since He saved me. He lives inside me now, and I feel Him every day. I just love Him. I want to thank Him for giving me Isaiah 43, 1 and 2. But now thus saith the Lord, that created thee, fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. When thou walkest through the water, thou shalt be with thee, and through the river it shall not overflow thee. I can't remember it, but God, that's so good to me. He gave that to me, and I just. The drug addict refrains from necessary pains. Oh, the truth there is to gain, but sin has left a stain. Sin blinds and holds captive those that don't believe. There's a truth that will set you free if only you'll receive. Christ was crucified, and on the third and glorious day, arose to victory, so man's sin debt could be paid. Jesus' blood washes away all of our sins. The day you receive him as Lord, that's where your life begins. You can be religious. Good works will only get you hell. Only the blood of Jesus can release you from that cell. You're held captive by your good works, and that's what you'll please. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ. When the sun sets you free, you're free indeed. Hey, man. Praise the Lord. The Son, therefore, shall make you free. You shall be free indeed. I have never seen the face of my Savior. Oh, but serving Him has been such a thrill. And I have never seen the gates of that city. Oh, but one day, one day I will. One day I'm gonna walk on a street of pure gold. And they tell me the half has never yet been told. I'll be united. And with loved ones on Zion's holy hill, Thank God one day, one day I will. From the time I first met him, he's been all to me. And my life with his joy he has filled. And I'm longing for that day When my eyes shall behold Him Thank God one day, one day I will One day I'm gonna walk On a street of pure gold And they tell me the half has never yet been told I'll be united with loved ones on Zion's holy hill Thank God one day, one day I will I'll be united with loved ones on Zion's holy hill. Thank God one day, one day I will. I had to thank him for what he's done this week. He's been so good to us, so merciful. When you pray for something for a long time and he does it, I just had to thank him. I praise his name. I had a song on my heart this morning. Lord willing, I sing it. I just thank you for everything he's done. Say if you're praying for something, don't stop. Because He knows and He's listening. Mary and Martha stood by the grave, and they wondered why the Master had delayed, for they knew If he'd been there in answer to their cry, their dear brother Lazarus would not have died. It was four days before Jesus through Bethany passed by and there he found them with tears in their eyes and with a tender Compassionate sound from his voice he commanded the stone away and Lazarus came forth. In his time, he'll answer. In his time, he will heed. It may be today he'll walk through Bethany. So don't lose your faith, though your patience be tried. Your answer may seem delayed, but your prayer's not denied. The trial you're facing may be a child who's gone astray, or it may be a loved one who's never found the way. Or it could be a problem that matters just to you. God will hear the prayer you pray, and here's what he'll do. In his time, he'll answer. In his time, he will heed. It may be today, he'll walk through your Bethany. So don't lose your faith, though your patience be tried. Your answer may seem delayed, but your prayer's not denied. Amen. Ain't that a blessing? Okay, Matthew 24. This is the Olivet Discourse. I was here last Sunday. and we'll deal with this again today. I don't know how much I will. It'll probably take a year to preach through all this if you've done it. Verse by verse, that is. Here in Matthew 24, the Lord prophesied the end times. And of course, that's where we're at. The last days. Matthew 24 and verse number 24. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect. Let that verse sink in. If it were possible, which it's not, but if it were possible, the very elect, the most spiritual of all the spiritual. And the reason they're not going to be deceived. What you see is not always right. You can't trust your eyes. No. You trust what you hear. The reason they're not going to be ultimately deceived is they're going to know God's Word. If you know God's Word, it'll shine a light on a bunch of this false teaching that's going in in this day and hour. that we're living in and uh... so uh... all uh... pressure you a little bit today on red bell young satans opening that's open for the devil in your life rebellion rebellion satan's open rookie prosper for three Amen. At the end of the church age, we're fashionably approaching the darkest days in the history of man. Days absolutely unparalleled. In the Great Tribulation, the devil's going to be turned loose with almost unlimited restraint. God will restrain him to a certain degree, but not by much. Those that are sealed with the mark of God, 144,000 Jewish evangelists, He can't touch them. And there are some things he can't do. But it's going to be unprecedented horror, violence, crime, panic, disease, death, delusion, depression, deprivation, damnation. There has never been a time like that time that's coming on this earth. That's what Jeremiah 30 verse 7 says. Alas, for that day is great. so that there's none like it. It is the time of Jacob's trouble. Christ refers to that. That's what He's talking about. The time of Jacob's trouble that's coming upon this earth. What God's going to do, He's already done it one time. He brought the world to almost extinction in the days of Noah, when nobody but Noah, his wife, Ham, Shem, and Japheth and their wives were spared. This thing's got to such darkness that God's going to put it in to what's happening in this world. And He's going to prove once for all, man's problem is not his environment. Man's problem is man. Man's problem is his heart and his depravity. At the helm of the last day's ship will come the long-awaited Superman of Satan. The world's been a-clamberin' after him for a long time. Americans, I believe, are the greatest idolaters that have ever lived in human history. We worship sports stars. We worship ball teams. We worship Hollywood. I mean, I remember seeing the footage back in the 1980s. If I hadn't seen it, it would have been hard to believe it. CNN did a special on Michael Jackson. He was in the midst of his greatest popularity. And he would go overseas and go to Japan and different nations. And literally girls would, I mean, fall out, pass out, When they got near Him, they would pass out. In the 50's when they got around Elvis Presley, they'd literally pass out. When they got around the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, even back in the 60's and up into the 70's. That's nothing but worship for that kind of power to come over somebody. That they lose consciousness and that they're close to their God. That they pass out. There are some girls that got a handkerchief of Michael Jackson and then they just started falling out in every direction. One got a piece of his hair. You would have thought they seen Jesus Christ. We are idolaters. In this country, anything that's got more of your affection than God is an idol to you and me. Always demonism, fathers, idolatry. But that day is coming, and the clamor of man All of our action heroes, always escaping death. Somehow always win. Break through all of the incarcerations and the problems that they face. We got Superman. Batman, Spider-Man, all of these superheroes, because man wants to worship the supernatural, but not God. He'll worship anything but the true and the living God. All of this is setting the stage for the Antichrist to be revealed. So diabolical is the Antichrist that 33 titles are given to him in just the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament. That means it takes 46 titles to describe the man of sin, Satan's superman that's coming on this world. Now, this book teaches there's going to be an unprecedented invasion of the demonic hordes when the church is removed. We are seeing the forerunner of that right now. There is such a demonic presence even in the South now. Everywhere you go, it is demonism on every side. Even many children are demonized. That is why they are doing what they are doing. They have opened themselves up. to the unseen world by movies, by music, by drugs. And they become the habitation of demons and devils. In 1 Timothy 4 and verse 1, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Now think about this for a minute. Almost every cult in the world was started in America. Did you know that? Almost every cult was started in America. Mormonism, Jehovah Witness, all of these different flavors of the cults were started in this nation as a rebellion and a rejection of the God of this Bible. All of these cults always have their version of the Bible because they hate that one. They've got to rewrite it. How to take out hell and the sufferings of the damned and salvation by grace. Now the shadows of all of this is approaching. We're seeing that day as we watch the news and walk through this world. Matthew 24, verse 15. When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand, for there shall arise false cries, false prophets, shall show great signs and wonders. They are going to do miracles. They are going to deceive people by the supernatural. That is what man wants. That is what God is going to give him. God is going to give him exactly what he wants. Israel wanted a king. God said, I'm your king. They said, no, we want a king like the world. God said, I'm going to give you one. And He gave them King Saul. And they suffered 40 years of difficult times in Israel. and he taxed them to where they could hardly survive, took their sons and daughters, made soldiers out of them, and confectionaries, and workers in the household, and the palace, and the governmental system. of King Saul. This world wants the miracle. They want the supernatural. We're obsessed by it. It's all over television, sitcoms, all this socket network, tarot cards. reading horoscopes, all this demonism, and this afterlife stuff, and these horror movies are taking over. Why? The devil is preparing this generation for the superman, the man of sin, Satan's man, in II Thessalonians 2.9. Even him who is coming is after Satan with all power and signs and Land Wonders! Man's got to see something. He don't want to hear something. He wants to see something. That's why our churches have been turned into theaters. You can't even preach a sermon without the big PowerPoints. You've got to have all of this illustrative assistance. Man wants to see something. He wants to be entertained. He wants somebody to fall out on the floor. Somebody to be healed. Somebody speaking some unknown language. He wants something. He can claim to be a miracle. And the devil is using religion to prepare the way for the Antichrist in this hour. In Revelation 13, let me just say right now that the only reason I'm not deceived is the grace of God. That's it. The only reason if you still believe this book is because God's had grace on you. When I was a boy, you hardly ever heard of an agnostic or an atheist. They are everywhere now. They're taking over. It's these last day demonism. They're believing the concocted scientifically impossible theory of evolution. In 2 Timothy 2.9, he is working, he is with all power and lying wonders. His words are lies and his deeds are lies. They are not from God. They are sin to deceive. In Revelation 13, we read how that the great dragon who is Satan, and the Antichrist, and the false prophet, who are the satanic trinity, the opposite of God, are going to deceive this world. And the Bible says, in the mouth of Satan, in the mouth of Antichrist, in the mouth of the false prophet, are demons that look like frogs. They come out of their mouth. That means their speech, what they say, is going to deceive the masses. And the majority will believe the lie and be damned. In Revelation 16, here you've got how all of these judgments, the sealed judgments, The trumpet judgments have already taken place. The world has almost come to a standstill. The road systems have been destroyed. All kind of calamity has hit this world. And then, Revelation 16. The last of these judgments are called the vile or the bold judgments. The first one, there's going to be a noisome and a grievous sore that's going to fall on those that take the mark of the beast, and then the seas are smitten, and the second angel poured out his vial on the sea, and it became as the blood of dead men. God said, they've slain the saints. They want blood? I'm going to give them blood to drink. The third vial is poured out on the rivers, the fresh water, the fountains, and they became blood. That means your fishing industry has been destroyed in the oceans. Your shipping industry has been almost shut down. by these horrific things that are happening. And this scorching heat is coming on this world. And the fourth angel poured out his vow upon the Son. And power was given to Him to scorch men with fire. and men were scorched with great heat. What did they do? Blasphemed the name of God which hath power over these plagues, and they repented not to give Him glory. It all starts in Romans 1 when they knew God They glorified Him not as God. They wouldn't even give Him credit for creating this world and this universe when they knew God. They were too proud to give glory and honor to the greatness and the wisdom of God, to believe in the Word of God, and to trust the Son of God. That's where it all starts. You choose not to believe or you choose to believe. but the sun rays will penetrate everything, scorching, burning heat, in the daytime, heat at night, power systems shut down, no air condition, and they stand with their fists pointed up to God and curse and blaspheme the name of the God of heaven. And the fifth angel sounded. Now I'm going somewhere with this. I'm talking about you're a setting duck for the devil. You start rebelling and rejecting God's Word to become a habitation of devils. Revelation 16 then, And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast, and his kingdom was full of darkness. and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain, and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. Hey, they're worshipping the Antichrist. They're worshipping the devil. Why don't the devil give them relief? Why don't the devil override the power of God? and cool it down and shut down the sun rays and shut down the darkness and send the light. What God's trying to show these reprobates is that God's got all power and man will stand and curse and mock in the very face of God when his life is in God's hands. And the sixth angel sounded. This is where I'm getting to. Sixth angel poured out his vial from the great river Euphrates. How long that river is? Eighteen hundred miles. And the water thereof was dried up. They are not opening up or shutting down some dam. God is going to supernaturally draw up the Euphrates River, like He had drawn up the water at the Red Sea, that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared. China, India, Japan, Afghanistan, the kings of the East. Did you know right now that India and China have over 1 billion people in each of those countries? China is 1.7 billion. And there's coming an army of 200 million foot soldiers. And they're coming down that dried up Euphrates River to come to Jerusalem to fight God. Now, are you listening? I saw Three unclean spirits, like frogs, come out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast, and the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of devils, working miracles, working miracles, working miracles. which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, together then to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Now here's what I want you to contemplate. How in the world is this possible? The whole world's about shut down. How is it even possible that the kings of the earth, the presidents, and the governments would take what little national capital they've got left and send their men to fight in the valley of Jezreel I'm telling you how deceptive that the devil is. You're no match for him. If God doesn't shine the light on you, you'll believe a lie, make a false profession and go to hell. He's a liar. He hates the light. Have you ever noticed those of you that are not saved, the battle you have, getting around the lot, How Satan fights you from hearing the truth. Oh, he'll let you go to these religious side shows. That's where a man preaches in the power and the authority of God. How Satan fights you. Wants you to stick your fingers in your ears, not to hear. I'm telling you, the devil has got people in his hand. And without God's mighty, mighty intervention, They'll die, go to hell, a false profession. Say it! Did we not cast out devils in your name? In your name. We've done many wonderful works. And Christ will say, I never knew you. Depart from me. You that work iniquity. Lying words. Lying, wonders, deceived by enticing words. What could bring all of these men, all of these armies, the walls depleted, the resources? I'll tell you the first thing Satan will do, he'll pull out that old ace in the hole that he's used for thousands of years, anti-Semitism. This whole world hates the ground of Israel. They hate Jerusalem. The battle's over that. That's what the war's about. That's what the terrorism's about. It's America helping Israel. That's why they hate us. They hate Christianity. And they call us the big Satan and Israel the little Satan because we're Aden. had abetted them with weaponry. And we've been their friend in Revelation 12, 17. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, that's Israel, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 13, 7. It was given to him to make war with the saints. To overcome them, power was given over all kindreds, and powers, and nations. Oh, Christ was the very God manifested in human flesh. He fulfilled the promises of grace. He came to this world, lived thirty-three and a half years of perfection. When He's tried, At the trial of Ennis and Caiaphas, they couldn't find one person that could bear witness against him, that the paymen, Terah, even Pontinus Pilate, said, I find no fault in this man. See you to it. Even Judas Iscariot, when he tried to throw the thirty pieces of blood money, of silver, for selling out Christ. And he throws it back into the temple. And they take it and buy the field of blood. Even Judas says, I betrayed the innocent blood. Christ lived in perfection and all his perfection. He went about doing good. He went about performing miracles and they rejected him. But when the devil's man of sin, when Satan's superman comes, he'll perform miracles and they'll bow down and worship him because Satan's man of sin will promote vice, depravity, Sodomy, all kinds of sin. Christ spoke of holiness, righteousness, turning from sin. And they are going to get what they always wanted. Satan's superman that's got the power and lets them live like hell and like the devil. Jesus said, If another come in my name, him will you receive. Rejected the personification of holiness, righteousness. At the end of three and a half years, listen to me now, here's the power of unbelief. At the end of three and a half years, there's 120 devout believers in the upper room. He had fed 5,000 men, not counting women and children, on one occasion. 4,000 men, not counting women and children, on another occasion. He healed all kinds of lepers, resurrected dead people, opened blinded eyes, opened deafened ears, did all these miracles. And they followed Him for the loaves and fishes. They didn't want Him, they wanted His power. And they wanted the benefit of following Him. When the Antichrist comes, he'll bow down universally and worship him. Imagine a leader with the wit of Ronald Reagan, the fearlessness of Alexander the Great, the mesmerizing of Adolf Hitler, beloved by the citizenry like George Washington, a great leader like Moses, unstoppable. Like Genghis Khan, being spiritually charismatic, like King David. Roll up all of the attributes of the great men of history. Roll them all up, put them in one. and energize that person with all the power that Satan's got. And you've got the man of sin right now, the deception right now, the blindness. We can't win our children. We can't win our teenagers. They sit in our churches and grow up lost. go out lost. The deception is all around us. And the devil has been turned loose in this nation because this nation rebelled on God. The man of Christ is coming. You know what? He's going to appear to have come from heaven. That's part of the scam. He's going to claim to be God. He's going to do miracles. In Matthew 24, verse 5, Many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and deceiving many. John 5, verse 43, I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not. If another come in his own name, him will you receive. Now, let me further this illustration right quick. There's been several dress rehearsals of the deception of Satan on world leaders. We find that one of the forerunners, not the Antichrist, but a forerunner of the Antichrist was Adolf Hitler. And the forerunner of the kingdom of the Antichrist was the third rock. The third rock hated Christianity. Hitler outlawed Christianity. And he hated Jews. And he hated the Bible. And he was full of demons. And he was in the occult. He got his battle plans from the channeling of demons. Did you know that? Himmler and all of his henchmen were demon controlled and possessed. Adolf Hitler shows how one man at the right time of calamity When everybody's crying about a bad economy, when everybody's worried about their health care, when everybody's worried about making ends meet, they'll bow down, worship, vote for anybody that gives them hope. Germany had such inflation after World War I It took 7 million U.S. dollars to buy a pound of butter. It was total chaos. And when total chaos comes, people will follow God or devil if they believe that he'll restore to them their way of life. Hitler come to power 1933 to 1939 through economic disaster. He rose to power after sowing his hate After World War I, Germany was so defeated and commanded to make restitution for all of the havoc they caused in World War I. And Hitler blamed the Jews. He spent his whole life in rebellion, always blaming others. Got a chip. on his shoulder, bitter at God, bitter at society. And he rose to power. And when he came to power, just like the devil, he used all of his forces to raise as much havoc as he could. He rose to power from 1933 to 1939. Some of you in here got demons in you. There's a time you got them in you. Hey, that's why you hate the light. That's demonic. Fornication. Adultery. Sins of the flesh. Pornography. Witchcraft. Rock music. Demons. When I was a boy in the 1970's, rock music was called sex, drugs, REBELLION! REBELLION! REBELLION! And the greatest 70's group that can harmonize like nobody else is the Eagles and they're the biggest occult devil worshippers there's ever been in rock music! Rock music! Movies! I'll open you up to demons! You say, I don't believe that. Then why have you done some of the things you've done? Why can't a man pass an ABC store? He gets drunk, hungover, he swears to God, and whoever will listen to him the next morning, he'll never take another drink, then why does he? Why can't he give it up? Why can't the pornographer addict give it up? It's demonic, that's why. Even Christian people can be oppressed by them so bad, they lose all their victory. He rose to power from 1933 to 1939. In six years, Hitler came close to conquering the world. from 1939 to 1945. If it had not been his obsession with killing Jews, he no doubt would have. That gave America time to arm. and get ready for war. We were blindsided December the 7th, 1941, when one of the Axis powers of Italy, Japan, and Germany, they formed the Axis powers. Hitler, or rather the Japanese, were in cohorts with the Germans. That's going to split our forces. We were fighting World War II on three continents, three different battlefronts, North Africa, Europe, and the South Pacific. That's why it was such a difficulty that we met war. We were so spread thin. and France had fallen, and Poland had fallen, and Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, all of those nations back then called different names, had all fallen. England was about to fall to the tyranny of the Antichrist. But Hitler, if you want to see Satan, if you want to see Satan's man, if you want to see who you're following, if you're lost, look at Adolf Hitler. He's one of the greatest personifications in human flesh of what the devil's like of any man that's ever lived. Now listen to me, 1943, 100,000 brown shirts filled the Olympic Stadium. in Munich, Germany. 100,000 teenagers. They form with their bodies a sign for the fanatical man standing behind the podium. And the message of their body read. You've seen that done at college football games. How they take bodies and form letters. Their letter of 100,000 young people was this, Hitler, we are yours. When the Russians and the Americans invaded Germany, and the Russians were on the outside of the city limits of Berlin, Hitler was in a bunker about all that was left defending Berlin. For the most part, were those boys, teenage boys, who were dying for their God. at the horror of the death camp Auschwitz are the words of Hitler written on the wall at Auschwitz. Hitler's vision of young people that would have no conscience. Here's what he said, I freed Germany from the stupid and degrading fallacies of conscience and morality. Watch this now. You cannot get people to do what they've never done until you sear their conscience. You've got to do something to break down that knower inside that makes you feel guilty. That's why people like that man up at Asheville, David was talking about, I was in federal prison with him, killed a man, sat down, and finish the dead man's cheeseburger. That's a man with no conscience. And we've got a young generation that's coming along that has no conscience. They forsake their own children. They run for pleasure. They're running. They get another fix. They'll kill their daddy. They'll kill their mama. They'll kill their grandparents. They'll choke, strangle. and tortured them. They've got no conscience. That's how we're living. And Hitler, with his demonism and brainwashing, seared the conscience of the German people and the young people, that they could kill Jews, wipe their hair off, and make Pellistephens out of them, take them and skin them, and use the skin to make lampshades. That's what depravity does. when the devil sears your conscience with a hot iron. Let me read again what Hitler said. I'm not going to read the whole thing. I freed Germany from the stupid and degrading fallacies of conscience and morality. What's a public school system been doing for 40 years in this country? They destroyed people's belief in the Bible. Religion is practiced every day in the public schools. It's called humanism. You're God. Look out for self, selfishness. Hitler said, we've got to degrade the fallacies of conscience and morality. You've got to sear them. You've got to get these fables of religion out of them. We will train young people before whom the world will tremble. I want young people capable of violence, imperious, relentless, and cruel. It meant something. Jesus makes you love everybody. The first commandment, love the Lord thy God, all thy mind, all thy strength, all thy soul. The second one, I couldn't do it. Love your neighbor as yourself. The devil says steal, kill, murder. plunder, rob, havoc, chaos! And people have the chaos, the deception of how Satan devours a man's life, devours a woman's life, and they are so deceived! And demons are whispering, in their ears. They think they're just rebelling against God. And it's demons, it's demons that's provoking them to do what they're doing, take their clothes off, live like the devil and live for this world. There is a generation right now in America. It's all over Europe. Europe's forcing us. They're not all young people. And I don't blame them, they're just doing what they've been taught. And I don't believe the young people in here is like this, or at least I hope you're not. We have a generation in America that has no conscience. They have no empathy. It ain't just the young, it's people my age too. No empathy for the suffering. No respect for the aged. You remember some of these riots like Rodney King riot? You remember some of that stuff? People like a bunch of savages. No respect for personal property. No respect for the old people. No discernment of right and wrong. No fear of God. A generation that's been prepared. We kicked out God, we kicked out the Bible, we kicked out prayer, and now we've got a generation controlled, manipulated, desensitized by the enemy. Now the Bible prophesied this. Proverbs 30 verse 11, There is a generation which curseth their mother, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes. and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords. and their jaw teeth are knives that devour the poor from off the earth and the needy from among men. Adolf Hitler was brutal, cruel, totally giving over unto evil. You know what? He got to acting like his daddy, Jesus said. the laws are of their father the devil, and the lust of their father they'll do. He's a murderer. He's a liar from the beginning. And those that habitually lie and can't tell the truth, those that's got all this violence and bitterness empowered in their heart is of their father the devil that shows that rebellion and energizes them and empowers them to fight God and fight God's Word. Turn the music up a little louder. When God gets to dealing, pop another pill, snort another bunch of meth up your nose. Got to get God off my mind. I got to stay on drugs all the time. I can't face God. Desensitized by demons. Isaiah 14, 12. Satan's the original Antichrist. He's the rebel. He no longer wanted to be servant. He wanted to be sovereign. Let me hurry right quick. Ezekiel 28. He's called the anointed cherub that covereth. The Bible said he's full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. That's what Satan does to man's eyes. Beauty. That's what men seek after. Wisdom. Knowledge. Insurrection. Satan. Doom is told will be hell and the lake of fire eventually. For 6,000 years, that rebellion has been bred into people ever since we fell. And the devil is on the prowl. Hunting rebels. He wants rebels. He wants those that rebel against mom and daddy. He wants those that rebel against society. He wants those that rebel against Christianity. A prime example of that is the occult connection of Adolf Hitler, born April the 20th, 1889, died April the 30th, 1945. The fourth of six children. Born to Alois. And Clara Hitler, as a boy, he sang in a church choir. He even contemplated becoming a priest. When he was 11 years old, his little brother Edmund died. And he went into severe depression. In his childhood, later on as he grew up, he developed an unforgiving antagonism against his father. He loathed his father. He despised his father. That rebellion opens him up for the devil. His father would die, June the 3rd, 1903. When he was 13, his mother would die, December the 21st, 1907. Hitler barely eked out a meager living, living off his mother's scantily left possessions and an orphan's pension when his father worked at the customs department. His attempts at education was thwarted. He tried to get an engineer school. He was rejected. He tried to get in art school, but his sketches, what didn't come up to par, he had blamed the rest of his life, Jews, for not letting him in. He blamed his economic plight on Jews. Every time he saw Jews, he made all them movies about the vermin and the rats, the Jews, the bad seed, the bad blood, and Satan, the hater of the Jew, the hater of Christ. The hater of Christianity filled old Adolf Hitler to do his diabolical deeds. And as a result, over 50 million people lost their life in World War II. Author Trevor Ravenscroft says, I'm able to make friends Hitler became day by day a solitary and embittered figure. By 1909, he was out of money and lived in a homeless shelter. To make a long story short, we see his anger at God His anger at society, his anger at his lot in life, he spent his life trying to get back at anybody. He felt it overlooked him and hurt him. That's demonic! He began studying the occult in his free time at Hofburg Library in Vienna, Austria, reading books on the history of the occult and Eastern religions. One of the primary characteristics of those involved in the occult is rebellion. Hitler had all three characteristics. He rebelled against his parents. He rebelled against society. He rebelled against Christianity. 1 Samuel 15, 23, for rebellion, his as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness, his as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath rejected thee from being king. God said, neither give place to the devil. You know what Satan's doing? He's proud. He's lurking in the darkness to see that rebellion in you where he can jump on you. Some of you that are saved today, you can look back with fear and trembling what he did to you. Man without the protection of the living God becomes like a rowboat out in the middle of the ocean with no oars. becomes like a one-year-old child with no mother and no one to defend and take care of them. He'll open up himself to the devil, to demons. This discovery will change his life. Him, the Austrian, the Austrian library, think about this now. It's amazing to me How the devil can get a man to believe an impossibility and he won't even believe God. He heard accidentally the guy was taking a tour group through the library and he mentioned an ancient spear. It was supposed to be the spear that pierced the side of Christ. And he made this statement. This spear is shrouded in mystery. Whoever unlocks its secrets will rule the world. How can anybody be that stupid to think a spear, a spear, it wasn't the spear that pierced the side of Christ. That's fables. That a spear that a man has to wield, not a supernatural power, that a man gives himself totally over to demons, believing that a spear would unlock the secrets of the universe. And I know I keep getting on this, evolution is scientifically impossible, and man will believe that? Instead of believing God, man will believe that nothing plus nobody equals everything. He won't believe that about a car. He won't believe that about a jet plane. He won't believe that about nothing. But he hates God. He hates being accountable to God. He doesn't want to stand before God. So he blanks him out because he gets full of demons. Every agnostic and atheist have demons in them. Darkness has took over. He believed this spear held the secret occultic power. Man's always wanting an edge. He's wanting supernatural power. Adolf Hitler stood. Here's what the man in the library said. When Hitler saw that spear, he said he stood like a man in a trance who was under some dreadful magic that had been cast upon him. He was swaying on his feet, as though caught up in some totally inexplicable euphoria. His whole facial appearance and stance appeared transformed, as if of some mighty spirit inhabited his very soul, creating in him and around him an evil transformation of his own nature and power. Dietrich Eckhart, one of the founders of Nazism initiated Adolf Hitler into the occult. He became a member of a powerful full group in Germany which included judges, lawyers, doctors, university professors, industrial surgeons, military men, and members of nobility when Anton Sandoval wrote the satanic Bible and the satanic rituals in the late 60s. In the 70s, some of the biggest members of the church of Satan were rock stars, movie stars, lawyers, judges, the rich, the highly elite, and much sometimes a man won't believe the Bible, but will believe the Tommy Rock of that brutal beast, the devil. Can't you all see all this? horrible riots opened Hitler's soul up to possession of more powerful demons. They controlled his diminished soul and drove the world to almost total chaos. Oh, Adolf Hitler, during this Nazi era, it's nothing but a rehearsal for the Antichrist. In six years, Adolf Hitler Killed six million Jews. Plus, over 52 million of the world's population were destroyed by the beast of Berlin! Call it what it is! He had demons in him! If you're lost, you're following the one that filled him! I'll tell you what they've done to Hitler, what they do to every person that follows them. Now I know people's minds can snap. That excluded. I'm not talking about people that have a mental breakdown. I'm talking about people that have served Satan well. They busted up homes. They've done all kinds of frolicking and revelry. And the devil gets them down to the end. And what he does, Ridge, he says, kill yourself. and he abandons them to the fires of hell. That's who, the one you follow. If you're lost, that's where he's going to take you. Hitler's bitterness consumed him and the world suffers to this day because of it. I want to ask you a question. What stiffens your spine when God gets to pull it on you and you get to fight with God? Ezekiel 36, in regeneration, I want to give you these right quick, what Jesus will do for you. In regeneration, regeneration is when God changes my heart, your heart. Ezekiel 36, 26, a new heart also will I give you. A new spirit will I put within you. I'll take away the stony heart out of your flesh. I'll give you a heart of flesh. I'll put my spirit within you. Cause you to walk in my statutes. You should keep my judgments and do them. You should be my people. I'll be your God. God said when I put my spirit in you, you'll have a power to live for me and keep my word. Because it gives you a new nature. Conversion is when God changes my life. Regeneration is when God changes my heart. All this happens at salvation. Conversion is when God changes my life. Jesus said in Matthew 18, verse 3, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Repentance is when God changes my mind. Matthew 3, verse 8, Therefore fruit meets for repentance. You quit arguing with God. The Bible is full of errors all the time, is it not? Adoption is when God changes my family. Romans 8, 14, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. You have not received the Spirit of bondage. Again, the fear, you receive the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit. We are the children of God. If children and heirs of God join heirs with Christ, if so we suffer with Him, we may be glorified together. Regeneration. It's when God changes my heart. Conversion. It's when He changes my life. Repentance. It's when He changes my mind. Adoption. It's when He changes my family. Sanctification. It's when He changes my behavior. Hebrews 10, 14, For by one offering hath he perfected forever them that are sanctified. Justification is when he changes my state before God, and I am looked upon as if I had never sinned. Romans 5, 1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let me illustrate this. Some years ago, you've all heard this story. There was a wealthy Englishman who bought a Rolls-Royce. Of course, in Europe you just go from country to country. He drove that brand new Rolls-Royce, filthy rich man, to France. When he got to France, it broke down. He called up the Rolls-Royce company. They spent great sums of money flying in a mechanic, giving that man a rental car, Taking care of the car, he got back in it and drove to the house. He waited a month, no bill came. He waited three months, no bill came. He waited six months, no bill came. So finally he writes the company of Rolls-Royce a letter and says, I'm so-and-so that broke down in France. You sent a man over there to fix my car. I need to know what for my account to be rendered. They wrote him back, the reply says, Dear sir, we have no record of anything ever going wrong with your car. As far as they're concerned, that car never tore up. As far as God's concerned, I stand before Him in the righteousness of Jesus. I stand there as if I'd never sinned. I don't believe that! Then follow the devil and die in your sin then! Follow the devil and be damned in hell then. I'll tell you, Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by Him. And neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby ye must be saved. Jesus said, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink out of his belly shall flow rivers. of living water. He that cometh to me, Jesus said, shall never hunger. He that believeth on me shall never thirst. I've got God's word on it. I don't care what the devil says. The devil about to destroy me, he'll destroy you. Hey, I'm glad God gave me enough sense to obey him. Somebody in here got demon power on you. You better get out of that darkness. This might be the only shot you ever have, getting out of that darkness. God might turn you over to it, if He ever does. God's as dumb with you as a doctor is a dead man. He's looking for rebellion. He's looking for little boys like Jacob. Say, Lord, I'll get saved one day. First, I want to run wild, sow my wild oats, drugs, drink it. This. That. Rebellion. Rebellion. Rebellion. And Satan thrives on rebellion. Because he is rebellion. You children of God. Why don't they want you under God's Word? Huh? Surely to God you can see this. You realize you're sitting at home on Sunday night and Wednesday night? So He can control you. You need this light. And He's blinded you to your need. And you'll be stagnant and never grow in grace till you get under that book and hear it, receive it, and live it. God's people can stunt their growth listening to the devil. But God's people can't be demon possessed. Holy Ghost lives in your spirit. And the devil can't be in there where God the Holy Ghost is. He can jump on your flesh, buddy. like some leech, but he does that when we open the door for him. Who's God speaking to in this service? You may be 13 years old, 14, 15, only God knows what's in your thought processes, what you've got planned out. When I get out of daddy's house, where I'm going, what I'm going to do, That's what Satan's waiting on, that rebellion. And he'll stiffen your spine to reject Christ, and he'll do it like this. You're not rejecting Christ. You're going to get saved someday. You're going to live for God someday. Tomorrow never comes. And Satan knows that. Let's bow our heads. Heads are bowed, our eyes are closed. You may not like what I said, but it's the absolute truth. It is the truth. Father, in Jesus' name, the devil will put folks right back to sleep in here if you don't intervene in such power. God, you're going to have to do it. I can't. I've done done what you told me to do and I've delivered this. Thank you for the power to do it and the boldness to do it. I realize we're living in a day when preaching like this won't be tolerated much longer. If you don't come, God, they'll outlaw you. Because this world so hates the light, it's so demonized. God's a-dealing with you, you better come. You better come. You're here today and you're a mother. You're a dad. There's somebody following you. You set an example for somebody. Come to God. Obey the Lord. Obey the Lord. Obey the Lord. Father, you bind Satan in this place. Break his power, God. I plead thy blood, Lord. God, do it work right now. Hallelujah! you
