00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960
 before Paul discerned that something was amiss.

00:00:05.020 --> 00:00:09.460
 These disciples whom Paul had thought were Christians were missing something.

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:12.540
 So he asked them in verse 2,

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.460
 Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?

00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:18.420
 This is Paul's litmus test.

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:24.460
 In the New Testament, the reception of the Holy Spirit is the decisive mark of the Christian.

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.039
 Romans 8 verse 9 says,

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.759
 Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.219
 1 Corinthians 12 verse 13 says,

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.439
 In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews or Greeks, slaves or free,

00:00:40.859 --> 00:00:43.960
 and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

00:00:45.219 --> 00:00:49.879
 The Christian is, by definition, someone who has the Spirit of Christ.

00:00:50.379 --> 00:00:53.079
 All Christians have received the Spirit.

00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.399
 So when Paul asks those men,

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.560
 Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:02.479
 He's really asking them whether or not they are really Christians.

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.539
 Whether or not they really come to believe in Jesus.

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.019
 And their response is revealing.

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:08.739
 They say,

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.620
 No, we had not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:15.799
 Matt pitched on his passage last week,

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:18.299
 and he mentioned that these were not disciples of Jesus,

00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:20.539
 rather they were disciples of John the Baptist.

00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:23.600
 They were baptized with water for repentance,

00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:24.860
 with John's baptism,

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:28.440
 but they have not been baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire,

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:29.800
 which is Jesus' baptism.

00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.100
 That's why in verse 5,

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:37.460
 Paul baptizes them in the name of the Lord Jesus,

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:42.520
 which shows that they have not been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:43.960
 They were not yet Christians.

00:01:44.860 --> 00:01:48.740
 They were not aware that Jesus had died, risen, and ascended to the heavens,

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:51.799
 and that he has sent his Holy Spirit to his people

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.419
 to mark the new era of God's salvation.

00:01:56.619 --> 00:01:58.640
 So when at the time of their baptism,

00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:00.099
 Paul laid his hands on them,

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.079
 they received the Holy Spirit.

00:02:02.179 --> 00:02:03.500
 The Holy Spirit comes upon them.

00:02:05.579 --> 00:02:07.340
 Genuine repentance from sin,

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.579
 genuine faith in Jesus,

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:11.959
 and Christian water baptism,

00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.240
 they are always accompanied by the reception of the Holy Spirit,

00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:20.379
 by Jesus' baptism with Holy Spirit and fire.

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.520
 And we should not make a mistake,

00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:30.819
 because there's a big difference between life with the Spirit and life without him.

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:35.180
 Jesus said to his disciples in John 16, verse 7,

00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:36.159
 I tell you the truth,

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:38.579
 it is to your advantage that I go away.

00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:40.379
 For if I do not go away,

00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.519
 the Helper will not come to you.

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:43.739
 But if I go,

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.719
 I will send Him to you.

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:47.280
 Isn't that amazing?

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.219
 Jesus told us that it's better for Him to leave,

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.139
 so that we might have the Holy Spirit with us.

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:55.519
 But sometimes,

00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.479
 I think we live like Jesus never fulfilled that promise.

00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.639
 We think of holding the Holy Spirit as this wallflower

00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.159
 who sits quietly in a corner

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.699
 and stays out of everyone's way.

00:03:08.779 --> 00:03:11.379
 But the book of Acts paints a radically different picture.

00:03:11.679 --> 00:03:12.479
 In Acts 1-8,

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.879
 which is a thesis of this book,

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:14.359
 Jesus says,

00:03:14.459 --> 00:03:16.619
 you will receive power

00:03:16.619 --> 00:03:18.819
 when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

00:03:20.619 --> 00:03:22.479
 And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.019
 in all Judea and Samaria,

00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:25.179
 to the end of the earth.

00:03:25.579 --> 00:03:28.560
 To have the Holy Spirit is to have power.

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.379
 And our pastor this morning,

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.560
 she knows that clearly.

00:03:32.399 --> 00:03:34.099
 He says in verses 11-12,

00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:37.280
 And God was doing extraordinary miracles

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:38.239
 by the hands of Paul.

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:40.739
 So that even handkerchiefs or aprons

00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:41.819
 that had touched his skin

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:43.219
 were carried away to the stake.

00:03:43.679 --> 00:03:45.079
 And their diseases blessed them,

00:03:45.179 --> 00:03:47.259
 and the evil spirits came out of them.

00:03:48.579 --> 00:03:50.579
 Earlier in Acts, in chapter 5,

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.800
 it says that many signs were done regularly by the apostles.

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.219
 But what's happening here

00:03:56.219 --> 00:03:59.500
 is not a regular, run-of-the-mill miracle.

00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:03.700
 These are extraordinary miracles.

00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:06.380
 And what's extraordinary about it

00:04:06.380 --> 00:04:08.480
 is not the nature of the miracles themselves,

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.560
 but the manner in which these miracles are being performed.

00:04:12.380 --> 00:04:13.600
 The sick being healed,

00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.479
 and evil spirits being cast out.

00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.000
 These are nothing new in the book of Acts.

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.519
 A lame man was healed in chapter 3.

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:22.159
 Aeneas the paralytic was healed.

00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.860
 Dorcas was raised from the dead in chapter 9.

00:04:25.159 --> 00:04:27.439
 A trickle was made to walk in chapter 14.

00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.139
 A demon-possessed slave girl

00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:31.699
 was exorcised in chapter 16.

00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.300
 So these miracles in chapter 19

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:37.159
 were not extraordinary in and of themselves.

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.540
 Luke tells us exactly why they were extraordinary.

00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:42.160
 Verse 12,

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.600
 So that even handkerchiefs or aprons

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:46.600
 that had touched his skin

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.840
 were carried away to the sick,

00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:49.460
 and their diseases left them

00:04:49.460 --> 00:04:51.400
 and the evil spirits came out of them.

00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:54.960
 Usually, miracles were mediated

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.560
 directly by God's chosen agents.

00:04:58.460 --> 00:05:00.759
 But in these unusual cases,

00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:03.060
 miracles were mediated indirectly

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:05.140
 by common everyday objects

00:05:05.140 --> 00:05:07.580
 that had touched God's chosen agents.

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:11.099
 This is similar to what happened in Luke chapter 8,

00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.060
 when a woman who had discharged her blood

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.120
 for 12 years believed that

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.639
 if she just touched the hem of Jesus' garment,

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:18.939
 the fringe of his garment,

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:19.699
 that she was healed.

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:21.120
 And with that faith,

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:21.719
 she touched,

00:05:22.219 --> 00:05:23.919
 reached out to touch the edge of his garment,

00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:25.259
 and she was healed in me.

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.579
 Evidently, God does perform miracles sometimes

00:05:30.219 --> 00:05:32.199
 through things that have touched

00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:33.579
 his spirit of little children.

00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:36.099
 How many of us,

00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.259
 if today we've heard a report

00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:40.479
 of such things happening around us,

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.259
 would dismiss it out of hand

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:44.779
 as baseless superstition

00:05:44.779 --> 00:05:46.759
 of theologically unmercable?

00:05:50.979 --> 00:05:53.799
 I think we're too quick to put God in a box of hearts.

00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.819
 God is the creator and Lord of heavens and the earth.

00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:00.339
 He is not bound by the ordinary laws of nature.

00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:02.779
 God can do what he pleases.

00:06:03.299 --> 00:06:06.019
 And he can heal in any manner he pleases.

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:09.739
 And evidently, God does heal in this way.

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:11.299
 At times.

00:06:12.799 --> 00:06:14.639
 Gifts of healing are one of the gifts

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.099
 of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12

00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:19.839
 that God distributes sovereignly among his people.

00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.419
 And 1 Corinthians 14.1 commands us

00:06:23.419 --> 00:06:26.039
 to earnestly desire those gifts.

00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.340
 But I also want to caution us

00:06:30.340 --> 00:06:31.340
 about the other extreme.

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:34.400
 This account of the miracles

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.379
 that occurred through handkerchiefs

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:38.160
 and aprons that Paul had touched

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.500
 is not a blueprint

00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:42.480
 for a successful healing ministry.

00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:47.520
 These are extraordinary miracles

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:49.460
 precisely because God does not

00:06:49.460 --> 00:06:51.320
 usually work in these ways.

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:54.379
 Note that Paul doesn't start

00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:55.560
 in a handkerchief ministry.

00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.639
 He's not going around

00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:59.379
 collecting handkerchiefs,

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:00.860
 piling up,

00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:02.120
 touching them all,

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:03.240
 blessing them,

00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:04.199
 and then saying,

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:04.939
 hey, ship them out

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:06.199
 to as many people as you can.

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.860
 He doesn't do that.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.699
 He definitely doesn't see this

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:13.779
 as an opportunity

00:07:13.779 --> 00:07:16.659
 for lucrative business

00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:18.420
 and starts selling

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:19.040
 such handkerchiefs

00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.100
 which some people do.

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:27.960
 And there's a very simple reason for that.

00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:29.900
 Look at who is the subject

00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:31.060
 of the verb in verse 11.

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:33.400
 And God

00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:36.480
 was doing extraordinary miracles

00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.240
 by the hands of Paul.

00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:41.980
 God was doing the miracles.

00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:44.100
 Paul is not performing these miracles.

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.600
 God is the one doing it.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.939
 Paul is the medium,

00:07:48.580 --> 00:07:49.360
 the conduit

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:50.360
 through which God is

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.060
 using his healing power.

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:54.140
 This is why Paul

00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:55.280
 cannot start

00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:56.320
 a handkerchief ministry

00:07:56.320 --> 00:07:58.080
 because he cannot guarantee

00:07:58.080 --> 00:07:59.100
 that the handkerchiefs

00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:00.420
 will heal anyone.

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.200
 The source of healing power

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:05.020
 is God,

00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:06.160
 not Paul.

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:06.320
 Paul.

00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:10.780
 You can

00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:12.360
 implore your mailman

00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.319
 as much as you want,

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:15.400
 but he cannot guarantee you

00:08:15.400 --> 00:08:15.960
 that you will get

00:08:15.960 --> 00:08:17.160
 a Christmas present this year.

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:19.800
 Why?

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:20.759
 Because he's just

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:21.639
 a delivery man.

00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:23.500
 He doesn't send

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:24.180
 the gifts.

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:29.300
 A guitar

00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:30.699
 cannot make music

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.720
 by itself

00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.460
 because it's

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:34.560
 only an instrument.

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:36.700
 It needs a musician

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:38.779
 who knows how to play it.

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:42.139
 Likewise,

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.839
 Paul cannot heal

00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:44.919
 anyone

00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:45.799
 because he's not

00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:46.699
 the one who heals.

00:08:47.319 --> 00:08:47.899
 He's simply

00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:48.559
 the instrument.

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:49.939
 It is God

00:08:49.939 --> 00:08:50.659
 who heals

00:08:50.659 --> 00:08:51.519
 through him.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:53.259
 So this is reason

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:53.919
 to be humble

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.159
 when God does

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:56.039
 use us at times

00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.720
 miraculously

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:57.819
 to heal sick people

00:08:57.819 --> 00:08:58.759
 or to cast out demons

00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.439
 which some of us

00:09:00.439 --> 00:09:01.120
 have experienced.

00:09:03.459 --> 00:09:04.459
 We are not

00:09:04.459 --> 00:09:05.100
 great.

00:09:06.179 --> 00:09:07.159
 We are not

00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.120
 powerful.

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:10.299
 We merely serve

00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:10.919
 a great

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.679
 and powerful

00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.399
 God.

00:09:14.819 --> 00:09:15.879
 So as God

00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:16.360
 is doing

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.679
 extraordinary miracles

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.159
 to Paul,

00:09:18.319 --> 00:09:19.459
 some pretenders

00:09:19.459 --> 00:09:20.139
 want in

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:20.740
 on the action.

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:22.059
 They're called

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:23.240
 here to seven sons

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.360
 of a Jewish high priest

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.019
 named Sceva.

00:09:26.339 --> 00:09:26.980
 Being sons

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.620
 of a Jewish

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:28.459
 high priest,

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:29.039
 these men

00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.079
 have an impeccable

00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:31.279
 religious pedigree.

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:32.319
 They appear

00:09:32.319 --> 00:09:32.839
 to have

00:09:32.839 --> 00:09:33.419
 leveraged

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:34.139
 their position

00:09:34.139 --> 00:09:35.100
 and standing well

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:35.740
 to carve out

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:36.639
 a place for themselves

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.120
 in this exorcism

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:38.720
 in this group.

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.120
 And it says

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.139
 in verse 13

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:42.779
 that some of the

00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:43.539
 itinerant Jewish

00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:44.059
 exorcists

00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:44.620
 undertook

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.299
 to invoke

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:46.000
 the name

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.100
 of the Lord Jesus

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:47.980
 over those

00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:48.360
 who are in evil

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.240
 spirits saying,

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:50.620
 I adjure you

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:51.279
 by the Jesus

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.039
 when Paul

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:52.539
 proclaimed.

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.360
 To invoke

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.039
 the name

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.279
 is a technical

00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:56.779
 expression

00:09:56.779 --> 00:09:57.539
 that refers

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:58.679
 to calling.

00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:00.679
 It's an incantation,

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:01.539
 incantation

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:02.379
 that ancient

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:03.219
 people used

00:10:03.219 --> 00:10:04.019
 to call

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:05.019
 forth a spirit.

00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.159
 To name

00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:07.639
 a name,

00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:08.419
 to invoke

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:08.939
 the name.

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:09.819
 By naming

00:10:09.819 --> 00:10:10.419
 a person

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:10.980
 or spirit

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:11.559
 or deity

00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.199
 with higher

00:10:12.199 --> 00:10:12.759
 authority,

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:13.699
 these people

00:10:13.699 --> 00:10:14.259
 believed that

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:14.659
 they could

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:15.419
 drive out

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:15.980
 weaker,

00:10:16.219 --> 00:10:17.159
 lesser spirits.

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:20.019
 And this

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:20.959
 belief that

00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:21.679
 names

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.779
 have magical

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:23.379
 powers

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:24.159
 and that

00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:25.079
 secret knowledge

00:10:25.079 --> 00:10:25.959
 of such names

00:10:25.959 --> 00:10:26.659
 of deities

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.419
 and spirits

00:10:27.419 --> 00:10:28.419
 conferred power

00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:29.240
 on that person

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.039
 is found

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:30.639
 in numerous

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:31.139
 ancient

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:31.819
 and pagan

00:10:31.819 --> 00:10:32.580
 texts.

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:34.759
 So the

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.279
 seven sons

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:35.779
 of Sceva

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:36.439
 try to

00:10:36.439 --> 00:10:36.960
 invoke

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.500
 the name

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:37.720
 of the

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.220
 Lord Jesus

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:38.639
 in order

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.019
 to drive

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:39.240
 out

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:39.840
 the evil

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.279
 spirits.

00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:42.340
 And theoretically

00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:44.080
 this should

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.639
 have worked.

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:47.179
 Right?

00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:47.699
 Because

00:10:47.699 --> 00:10:48.919
 Ephesians 1

00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:49.639
 20-21

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.340
 tells us

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:50.899
 that God

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:51.480
 the Father

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.699
 raised Jesus

00:10:52.699 --> 00:10:53.419
 from the dead

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:53.980
 and seated

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:54.500
 him at the

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:54.980
 right hand

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.399
 in the heavenly

00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:55.899
 places

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:57.480
 far above

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.639
 all rule

00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.480
 and authority

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.200
 and power

00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:00.799
 and dominion

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.819
 and above

00:11:01.819 --> 00:11:03.699
 every name

00:11:03.699 --> 00:11:04.559
 that is

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:04.819
 named.

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:06.459
 Not only

00:11:06.459 --> 00:11:06.799
 in this

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:07.019
 state

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:07.359
 but also

00:11:07.359 --> 00:11:07.579
 in the

00:11:07.579 --> 00:11:07.719
 world

00:11:07.719 --> 00:11:08.120
 to come.

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:08.659
 The words

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:09.139
 rule,

00:11:09.359 --> 00:11:09.759
 authority,

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:10.099
 power,

00:11:10.199 --> 00:11:10.519
 dominion

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:10.979
 are all

00:11:10.979 --> 00:11:11.539
 words that

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:11.859
 the ancient

00:11:11.859 --> 00:11:12.479
 people used

00:11:12.479 --> 00:11:12.979
 to refer

00:11:12.979 --> 00:11:13.699
 to magical

00:11:13.699 --> 00:11:14.379
 and magical

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:14.679
 text

00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:15.419
 angelic

00:11:15.419 --> 00:11:15.819
 powers.

00:11:16.359 --> 00:11:16.939
 Spirits.

00:11:17.599 --> 00:11:18.039
 Paul is

00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:18.479
 saying that

00:11:18.479 --> 00:11:19.339
 all spiritual

00:11:19.339 --> 00:11:19.979
 forces are

00:11:19.979 --> 00:11:20.740
 subject to

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.039
 Jesus

00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.000
 because the

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.699
 Lord Jesus

00:11:22.699 --> 00:11:23.500
 has the

00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:24.159
 name that

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.819
 is above

00:11:24.819 --> 00:11:26.419
 every name.

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.979
 so that

00:11:27.979 --> 00:11:28.639
 theoretically

00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:29.559
 invoking the

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:29.939
 name of

00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:30.299
 Jesus,

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:30.899
 the highest

00:11:30.899 --> 00:11:31.319
 name of

00:11:31.319 --> 00:11:31.620
 Jesus

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.399
 should have

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:33.299
 worked

00:11:33.299 --> 00:11:34.539
 in casting

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:34.899
 out these

00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:35.479
 evil spirits.

00:11:36.459 --> 00:11:36.979
 But it

00:11:36.979 --> 00:11:37.879
 doesn't work.

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.079
 And the

00:11:41.079 --> 00:11:41.879
 outcome is

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:42.879
 terrifying.

00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:45.240
 It says in

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.279
 verses 15-16

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:46.639
 but the

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.279
 evil spirit

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:47.779
 answered

00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:48.120
 them,

00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:49.699
 Jesus I

00:11:49.699 --> 00:11:50.699
 know and

00:11:50.699 --> 00:11:51.679
 Paul I

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.220
 recognize.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:53.639
 But who

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.019
 are you?

00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:57.559
 And the

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:57.959
 man in

00:11:57.959 --> 00:11:58.399
 whom was

00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:58.740
 the evil

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.059
 spirit

00:11:59.059 --> 00:11:59.740
 left on

00:11:59.740 --> 00:11:59.939
 them,

00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:00.399
 mastered

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:00.759
 all of

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.000
 them and

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:01.699
 overpowered

00:12:01.699 --> 00:12:02.419
 them so

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:02.799
 that they

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:03.279
 fled out

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:03.500
 of that

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:03.740
 house

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:04.079
 naked

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:04.360
 and

00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:04.759
 wounded.

00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:08.079
 The

00:12:08.079 --> 00:12:08.360
 evil

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:08.799
 spirit

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.279
 freely

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.759
 admits,

00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:11.059
 Jesus I

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:11.360
 know.

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:12.959
 Yes,

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:13.379
 I know

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:13.720
 Jesus.

00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:15.199
 He has

00:12:15.199 --> 00:12:15.779
 complete

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.259
 authority

00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:16.759
 over me

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:17.079
 and there

00:12:17.079 --> 00:12:17.620
 is nothing

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:18.120
 I can do

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:18.480
 about it.

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:18.839
 I know

00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:19.179
 Jesus.

00:12:20.939 --> 00:12:21.120
 Oh,

00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:21.439
 I also

00:12:21.439 --> 00:12:21.639
 know

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.000
 Paul.

00:12:22.319 --> 00:12:22.519
 He's

00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:22.699
 been

00:12:22.699 --> 00:12:23.000
 wreaking

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.459
 havoc.

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:25.620
 He's

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:26.000
 full of

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:26.100
 the

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:26.299
 Holy

00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:26.679
 Spirit.

00:12:27.699 --> 00:12:27.939
 He's

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:28.399
 a servant

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:28.819
 of the

00:12:28.819 --> 00:12:29.059
 mighty

00:12:29.059 --> 00:12:29.379
 Lord

00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:29.759
 Jesus

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:30.019
 and

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.259
 there's

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:30.500
 nothing

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:30.699
 I

00:12:30.699 --> 00:12:30.819
 can

00:12:30.819 --> 00:12:30.939
 do

00:12:30.939 --> 00:12:31.179
 about

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:31.500
 him

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:32.299
 either.

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.319
 But who

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:35.919
 are you?

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:39.079
 Who do you

00:12:39.079 --> 00:12:39.659
 think you

00:12:39.659 --> 00:12:39.980
 are?

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:41.740
 You're

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:42.319
 a fraud.

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:43.259
 You have

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:44.059
 no authority

00:12:44.059 --> 00:12:44.439
 to cast

00:12:44.439 --> 00:12:44.860
 me out.

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:46.159
 You

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.759
 think I

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.379
 care that

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:47.980
 your daddy

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.539
 is the

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.159
 high priest?

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.600
 You

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:52.480
 have no

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.980
 spiritual

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:53.419
 power.

00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:56.240
 You

00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:56.699
 are no

00:12:56.699 --> 00:12:56.939
 high.

00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:04.740
 And

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:05.319
 aided by

00:13:05.319 --> 00:13:05.720
 the power

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.000
 of this

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.279
 demon,

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.039
 this man

00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:08.419
 who is

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:08.980
 possessed by

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:09.079
 the

00:13:09.079 --> 00:13:09.939
 demon overpowers

00:13:09.939 --> 00:13:10.659
 all seven

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:11.139
 sons of

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.460
 demon.

00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:12.779
 And

00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:13.000
 they

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.340
 leave

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:13.659
 with their

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:14.399
 tails behind

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:14.840
 their

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.259
 legs,

00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:15.980
 between

00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:16.199
 their

00:13:16.199 --> 00:13:16.500
 legs.

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:16.899
 And

00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:17.059
 that's

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:17.259
 the way

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.340
 you

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:17.519
 say it

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:17.679
 right?

00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:19.559
 Totally

00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:20.159
 exposed,

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.480
 embarrassed,

00:13:22.319 --> 00:13:22.939
 abused.

00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:25.319
 Ironic,

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:25.759
 they came

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.019
 out to

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:26.439
 drive out

00:13:26.439 --> 00:13:26.559
 the

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:26.840
 demon.

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:28.559
 Instead,

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:28.779
 they're

00:13:28.779 --> 00:13:29.059
 joined

00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:29.980
 out by

00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:30.220
 the

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:30.299
 demon.

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:33.500
 This

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:33.879
 begs the

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.220
 question,

00:13:34.439 --> 00:13:35.080
 why didn't

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.259
 their

00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:35.539
 exercise

00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:36.059
 work?

00:13:36.059 --> 00:13:39.239
 it's

00:13:39.239 --> 00:13:39.559
 because

00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:39.779
 they're

00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:39.979
 only

00:13:39.979 --> 00:13:40.679
 pretenders.

00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:42.519
 They're

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:42.719
 not

00:13:42.719 --> 00:13:43.139
 Christians.

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.199
 They

00:13:45.199 --> 00:13:45.719
 have not

00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:45.979
 been

00:13:45.979 --> 00:13:46.359
 baptized

00:13:46.359 --> 00:13:46.939
 in the

00:13:46.939 --> 00:13:47.359
 name

00:13:47.359 --> 00:13:48.059
 of

00:13:48.059 --> 00:13:48.439
 Jesus.

00:13:48.699 --> 00:13:48.839
 They

00:13:48.839 --> 00:13:49.159
 don't

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:49.619
 actually

00:13:49.619 --> 00:13:50.379
 bear

00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:50.639
 the

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:50.979
 name

00:13:50.979 --> 00:13:51.159
 of

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:51.439
 Jesus,

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:51.719
 so

00:13:51.719 --> 00:13:51.879
 they

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.119
 don't

00:13:52.119 --> 00:13:52.519
 carry

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:52.759
 his

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.199
 authority.

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:54.819
 They

00:13:54.819 --> 00:13:55.019
 don't

00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:55.259
 have

00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:55.379
 the

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:55.539
 Holy

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:55.799
 Spirit.

00:13:57.079 --> 00:13:57.619
 They

00:13:57.619 --> 00:13:57.839
 don't

00:13:57.839 --> 00:13:58.079
 even

00:13:58.079 --> 00:13:58.579
 know

00:13:58.579 --> 00:13:59.019
 Jesus

00:13:59.019 --> 00:13:59.259
 is

00:13:59.259 --> 00:13:59.539
 baptized.

00:14:00.579 --> 00:14:00.939
 They

00:14:00.939 --> 00:14:01.159
 only

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.379
 know

00:14:01.379 --> 00:14:01.859
 Paul,

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:02.619
 who

00:14:02.619 --> 00:14:02.939
 seemed

00:14:02.939 --> 00:14:03.619
 to have

00:14:03.619 --> 00:14:03.879
 great

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.199
 spiritual

00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:04.599
 power,

00:14:04.979 --> 00:14:05.059
 and

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:05.179
 was

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:05.639
 performing

00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.159
 miracles

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:06.460
 in the

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:06.659
 name

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:06.819
 of

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:07.080
 Jesus.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:08.360
 So

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:08.639
 look at

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:08.799
 their

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.480
 incantation.

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:09.759
 That's

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.159
 why it's

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:10.939
 secondhand.

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.139
 They

00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:11.319
 don't

00:14:11.319 --> 00:14:11.699
 say,

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.139
 I

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:12.580
 abjure

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:12.819
 you

00:14:12.819 --> 00:14:13.039
 by

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:13.220
 the

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.460
 name

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:13.639
 of

00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:13.939
 our

00:14:13.939 --> 00:14:14.279
 Lord

00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:14.679
 Jesus.

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:15.279
 No,

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:15.480
 they

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:15.679
 don't

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.000
 say that.

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.159
 They

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:16.480
 say,

00:14:16.860 --> 00:14:17.000
 I

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.259
 abjure

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:17.419
 you

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:17.559
 by

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:18.039
 Jesus

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:18.539
 whom

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:19.419
 Paul

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:20.439
 proclaims.

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:21.500
 What's

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:21.860
 sad

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.159
 about

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:22.480
 this.

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.639
 But

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:25.779
 the

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.019
 Lord

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:26.480
 Jesus

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.080
 is

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:27.279
 not

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:27.639
 someone

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:27.799
 you

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:28.000
 can

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:28.480
 manipulate

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:28.759
 for

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:28.960
 your

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.279
 own

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:29.819
 purposes

00:14:29.819 --> 00:14:30.100
 through

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:30.340
 some

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:30.819
 magical

00:14:30.819 --> 00:14:31.580
 incantation.

00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:33.120
 The

00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:33.379
 Lord

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:33.759
 Jesus

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.500
 through

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:36.779
 those

00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:36.899
 who

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:37.019
 have

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:37.460
 believed

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:37.639
 in

00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:37.819
 him.

00:14:37.939 --> 00:14:38.100
 Those

00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:38.659
 who

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:38.860
 have

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.199
 pled

00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:39.939
 allegiance

00:14:39.939 --> 00:14:40.159
 to

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.379
 him.

00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:40.840
 Those

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:40.939
 who

00:14:40.939 --> 00:14:41.059
 have

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:41.159
 been

00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:41.580
 indwelled

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:42.080
 by

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.360
 the

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:42.639
 spirit

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:42.840
 of

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:43.259
 Christ.

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:44.319
 It's

00:14:44.319 --> 00:14:44.720
 not

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.159
 the

00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.939
 formula

00:14:45.939 --> 00:14:46.759
 in

00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.179
 Jesus

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:47.759
 name

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.399
 that

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:48.899
 matters

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.139
 as

00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:49.399
 much

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:49.620
 as

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:49.779
 the

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:50.399
 reality

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.000
 of

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.259
 being

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.740
 united

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.039
 with

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:52.399
 Jesus

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:52.720
 through

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:53.120
 faith.

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:55.559
 Do

00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:56.000
 you

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.939
 know

00:14:56.939 --> 00:14:57.899
 Jesus?

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:01.620
 Have

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:01.819
 you

00:15:01.819 --> 00:15:02.059
 been

00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:02.740
 indwelled

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:03.220
 by

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:03.519
 the

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:03.939
 spirit

00:15:03.939 --> 00:15:04.159
 of

00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:04.500
 Jesus?

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:04.799
 Do

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:04.860
 you

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:05.179
 have

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:05.659
 a

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:06.079
 personal

00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:06.839
 relationship

00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:07.179
 with

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:07.419
 him?

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.559
 Or

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:09.719
 do

00:15:09.719 --> 00:15:09.919
 you

00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:10.299
 merely

00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:10.959
 invoke

00:15:10.959 --> 00:15:11.459
 the

00:15:11.459 --> 00:15:11.779
 name

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:11.939
 of

00:15:11.939 --> 00:15:12.219
 Jesus

00:15:12.219 --> 00:15:12.459
 when

00:15:12.459 --> 00:15:12.899
 Paul

00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:13.639
 proclaims?

00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:15.439
 Or

00:15:15.439 --> 00:15:15.979
 Sean

00:15:15.979 --> 00:15:16.759
 proclaims?

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.299
 Or

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:18.500
 your

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:19.199
 parents

00:15:19.199 --> 00:15:19.899
 proclaims?

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:20.699
 Or

00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:20.899
 your

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:21.479
 spouse

00:15:21.479 --> 00:15:22.299
 proclaims?

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:22.719
 Or

00:15:22.719 --> 00:15:22.879
 your

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.459
 friend

00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:24.599
 proclaims?

00:15:25.079 --> 00:15:25.259
 Do

00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:25.379
 you

00:15:25.379 --> 00:15:25.639
 have

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.099
 first

00:15:26.099 --> 00:15:26.599
 hand

00:15:26.599 --> 00:15:27.159
 knowledge

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.799
 of

00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:28.139
 Jesus

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:28.419
 or

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:28.659
 only

00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:28.859
 a

00:15:28.859 --> 00:15:29.339
 second

00:15:29.339 --> 00:15:29.719
 word?

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.079
 Knowledge.

00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:34.339
 It's

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:34.559
 how you

00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:34.859
 tell the

00:15:34.859 --> 00:15:35.279
 difference.

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:36.299
 Jesus

00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:36.619
 said in

00:15:36.619 --> 00:15:36.799
 Matthew

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:37.139
 7

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:37.539
 21

00:15:37.539 --> 00:15:37.679
 to

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.099
 23

00:15:38.099 --> 00:15:39.759
 Not

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:40.199
 everyone

00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:40.439
 who

00:15:40.439 --> 00:15:40.859
 says to

00:15:40.859 --> 00:15:41.199
 me

00:15:41.199 --> 00:15:41.739
 Lord,

00:15:42.019 --> 00:15:42.379
 Lord,

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:42.699
 will

00:15:42.699 --> 00:15:43.219
 enter the

00:15:43.219 --> 00:15:43.639
 kingdom of

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:43.899
 heaven,

00:15:44.479 --> 00:15:45.399
 but only

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.179
 the one

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:46.839
 who does

00:15:46.839 --> 00:15:47.679
 the will

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.419
 of my

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.239
 Father in

00:15:49.239 --> 00:15:49.579
 heaven.

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:52.939
 Many will

00:15:52.939 --> 00:15:53.519
 say to me on

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.000
 that day,

00:15:54.119 --> 00:15:54.479
 Lord,

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.059
 Lord,

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:55.639
 did we not

00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.539
 prophesy in

00:15:56.539 --> 00:15:56.939
 your name

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:57.159
 and in

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.539
 your name

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:58.139
 drive out

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.559
 demons

00:15:58.559 --> 00:15:59.239
 and in

00:15:59.239 --> 00:15:59.979
 your name

00:15:59.979 --> 00:16:00.799
 perform many

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.219
 miracles?

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:02.019
 Then I

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:02.379
 will tell

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:02.580
 them

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:03.139
 plainly,

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:03.500
 I

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:04.259
 never

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:04.920
 leave you

00:16:04.920 --> 00:16:05.940
 away from

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.060
 the

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:06.360
 illegal

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:06.840
 doors.

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:09.120
 What is

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:09.379
 Jesus

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:09.759
 saying?

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.240
 There are

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:12.779
 many people

00:16:12.779 --> 00:16:13.399
 like the

00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:13.879
 sons of

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.240
 Sceva

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:15.340
 who try

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:15.840
 to use

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.139
 Jesus'

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.759
 name for

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.100
 their own

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:17.460
 purposes,

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:17.940
 try to

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:18.460
 use

00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:18.759
 Jesus'

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.700
 name to

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:19.980
 do

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.440
 miracles,

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:20.879
 try to

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.360
 use

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.660
 Jesus'

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:22.379
 name.

00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:24.800
 However,

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:26.480
 the true

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:26.940
 people of

00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:27.139
 God

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:27.240
 are

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:27.639
 those who

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.320
 do the

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:28.760
 will

00:16:28.760 --> 00:16:29.280
 of

00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:29.480
 the

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:29.840
 Father.

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:34.760
 True

00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:35.080
 Christians

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.800
 don't use

00:16:35.800 --> 00:16:36.240
 Jesus

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:36.620
 to

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:36.920
 advance

00:16:36.920 --> 00:16:37.420
 themselves.

00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:37.680
 They

00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:38.180
 renounce

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:38.580
 themselves

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:38.800
 as

00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:39.220
 following

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:39.460
 him.

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:46.920
 Some

00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:47.460
 politicians

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:49.540
 use the

00:16:49.540 --> 00:16:49.840
 Bible

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.060
 as

00:16:50.060 --> 00:16:50.160
 a

00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:50.500
 prop.

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:54.080
 Use

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:54.180
 the

00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:54.420
 church

00:16:54.420 --> 00:16:54.760
 building

00:16:54.760 --> 00:16:54.940
 as

00:16:54.940 --> 00:16:55.080
 a

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:55.440
 formula

00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.680
 just

00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:58.059
 to get

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:58.299
 the

00:16:58.299 --> 00:16:58.579
 Christian

00:16:58.579 --> 00:16:58.879
 book.

00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:02.439
 Some

00:17:02.439 --> 00:17:02.899
 people

00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:03.620
 repeatedly

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.200
 bring up

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:04.480
 their

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:05.119
 religious

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:05.599
 upbringing.

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:06.940
 I grew

00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:07.279
 up going

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.759
 to church

00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:08.139
 on the

00:17:08.139 --> 00:17:08.539
 campaign

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:08.940
 trail.

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.220
 Not

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:10.539
 because

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:10.720
 their

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:10.960
 views

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.099
 are

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:11.399
 actually

00:17:11.399 --> 00:17:11.960
 informed

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.399
 by

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:13.359
 scripture,

00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:14.200
 by their

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:14.579
 faith,

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.319
 wanting

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:15.919
 to earn

00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:16.460
 people's

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.000
 trust and

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.240
 win

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.440
 their

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:17.799
 books.

00:17:18.299 --> 00:17:18.500
 They

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.059
 use

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.539
 the

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.819
 name

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.019
 of

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.319
 Jesus

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:20.639
 for

00:17:20.639 --> 00:17:21.099
 self

00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:21.579
 advancement.

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:21.799
 They

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:21.980
 don't

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:22.419
 proclaim

00:17:22.419 --> 00:17:22.779
 Jesus.

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:25.720
 They're

00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:26.099
 essentially

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:26.659
 just name

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.740
 dropping to

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.200
 boost their

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:28.400
 own

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.900
 credentials,

00:17:29.600 --> 00:17:29.840
 when in

00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:30.380
 reality they

00:17:30.380 --> 00:17:30.700
 have no

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.300
 relationship

00:17:31.300 --> 00:17:31.660
 with the

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:32.140
 Lord Jesus.

00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:35.080
 Some

00:17:35.080 --> 00:17:35.680
 people use

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.380
 Jesus like

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:37.019
 a charm

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.360
 or a

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:37.860
 talisman.

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.060
 They

00:17:38.060 --> 00:17:38.840
 wear a

00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:39.640
 cross necklace

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:40.360
 or put a

00:17:40.360 --> 00:17:41.420
 crucifix on

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:41.880
 the wall,

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.259
 put a

00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:43.000
 statuette of

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:43.460
 a Christian

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:43.920
 saint,

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.380
 a Catholic

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:44.840
 saint in

00:17:44.840 --> 00:17:45.320
 the garden,

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:46.660
 get their

00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:47.640
 infants baptized

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.140
 in the

00:17:48.140 --> 00:17:48.560
 church even

00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:48.880
 though they

00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.200
 don't go

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:49.660
 to church

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:50.380
 the rest

00:17:50.380 --> 00:17:50.660
 of their

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:51.080
 life.

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.640
 And

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:52.840
 their

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:53.560
 lives are

00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:54.000
 utterly

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.860
 inconsistent

00:17:54.860 --> 00:17:55.360
 with the

00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:55.680
 word of

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:55.900
 God.

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:57.480
 They

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.440
 think that

00:17:58.440 --> 00:17:58.860
 by doing

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.259
 so they'll

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.880
 bring blessing

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:00.560
 and good fortune

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:01.060
 upon us.

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:03.420
 Some

00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:03.980
 people think

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:04.640
 of faith

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.080
 and Jesus

00:18:05.080 --> 00:18:05.460
 in the same

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:05.759
 way they

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.080
 think of

00:18:06.080 --> 00:18:06.759
 life insurance.

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:08.320
 They think

00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:08.720
 all they

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.259
 need to do

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:09.720
 is pay

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.340
 their dues

00:18:10.340 --> 00:18:11.000
 on time,

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.519
 give a

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:12.840
 little bit

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:13.180
 of money

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:13.540
 to the

00:18:13.540 --> 00:18:14.000
 church here

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:14.360
 and there,

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.300
 attend worship

00:18:15.300 --> 00:18:16.040
 occasionally,

00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:16.660
 once in a

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:16.820
 while,

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:17.259
 maybe on

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:17.800
 Easter and

00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:18.200
 Christmas,

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:19.000
 and they

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:19.380
 think they'll

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:19.900
 be covered

00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:20.940
 when they

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:21.220
 die.

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.340
 Their

00:18:24.340 --> 00:18:24.840
 religion is

00:18:24.840 --> 00:18:25.259
 entirely

00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:27.000
 think that

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:27.200
 they're

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:27.640
 masters

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.000
 of their

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:28.200
 own

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:28.580
 faith.

00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:29.460
 Jesus

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:30.000
 is not

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:30.279
 their

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:30.680
 Lord

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.000
 because

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.180
 they

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.580
 don't

00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:31.960
 do

00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:32.660
 his

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.140
 will.

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:36.320
 Let us

00:18:36.320 --> 00:18:36.820
 not think

00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:37.400
 that Jesus

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:38.300
 exists to

00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:38.779
 meet our

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.360
 needs and

00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:40.120
 make us feel

00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:40.759
 better about

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.400
 ourselves.

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:42.580
 Jesus does

00:18:42.580 --> 00:18:43.440
 not exist for

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.800
 our self-advancement

00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:46.900
 or self-fulfillment.

00:18:47.620 --> 00:18:48.500
 The church is not

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:49.580
 ultimately about

00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:50.259
 us.

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:51.839
 it's about

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:52.980
 God.

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:57.019
 We are

00:18:57.019 --> 00:18:57.920
 worshiping

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.259
 people.

00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:05.480
 Do you ask

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.160
 God to

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.700
 promote

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:07.660
 your own

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.119
 agenda

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:08.900
 in life

00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:11.519
 or do you

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.140
 submit to

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:12.359
 Him?

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:12.519
 Jesus?

00:19:15.719 --> 00:19:16.399
 Do you

00:19:16.399 --> 00:19:16.959
 cherry pick

00:19:16.959 --> 00:19:17.459
 and use

00:19:17.459 --> 00:19:17.839
 the word

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.219
 of God

00:19:18.219 --> 00:19:19.059
 to justify

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:20.119
 your views

00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.159
 and behaviors

00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:22.199
 or do you

00:19:22.199 --> 00:19:22.779
 let the

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:23.599
 word of God

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:24.479
 search you

00:19:24.479 --> 00:19:25.240
 and challenge

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:25.519
 you?

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.679
 If someone

00:19:29.679 --> 00:19:30.019
 were to

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:30.740
 draw a picture

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:31.219
 of your

00:19:31.219 --> 00:19:31.659
 hopes

00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:33.279
 and dreams

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.119
 would Jesus

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.579
 be that

00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:37.819
 picture?

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:42.519
 only those

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:42.799
 who have

00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:43.359
 surrendered

00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.740
 to the

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:44.079
 worship

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.960
 of Christ

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.559
 enjoy the

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.079
 power

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.879
 and

00:19:46.879 --> 00:19:47.519
 privileges

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.019
 of being

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:49.839
 in Christ.

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.700
 Jesus is

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:57.379
 not content

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:58.139
 with you

00:19:58.139 --> 00:19:58.579
 just knowing

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:59.159
 about Him.

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:01.419
 He wants

00:20:01.419 --> 00:20:02.259
 you to know

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.579
 Him.

00:20:04.639 --> 00:20:05.839
 He loves

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.240
 you and

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.019
 invites you

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:07.339
 into a

00:20:07.339 --> 00:20:07.980
 relationship

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:08.539
 with Him.

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:09.779
 He wants

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.519
 to dwell

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.539
 within you

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:12.000
 by His

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.359
 Spirit.

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.160
 He wants

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.359
 to be

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:15.839
 closer.

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.500
 So then

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:19.859
 how should

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.359
 we respond

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:20.779
 to Jesus?

00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:22.819
 That brings

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:23.220
 us to

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:23.859
 my last

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:24.160
 point

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.539
 in the

00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:25.000
 believer's

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:25.579
 repentance.

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:26.039
 He says

00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:26.339
 in verse

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:26.879
 17

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:27.700
 And this

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.480
 became known

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.099
 to all

00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:29.740
 the residents

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.279
 of Ephesus

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:31.480
 both Jews

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.160
 and blacks

00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.579
 and fear

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.420
 fell upon

00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:34.900
 them all

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.319
 and the

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:35.700
 name of

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:35.960
 the Lord

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.360
 Jesus

00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:36.700
 was

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.420
 extolled.

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.140
 The news

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:39.380
 of what

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:39.740
 happened

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.140
 to the

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:40.460
 Jewish

00:20:40.460 --> 00:20:41.079
 exorcist

00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:41.460
 quickly

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:41.880
 made its

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.259
 rounds

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:42.700
 throughout

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.160
 Ephesus

00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:43.920
 and as

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.319
 a result

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:45.440
 fear fell

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:45.980
 upon them

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:46.220
 all

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:46.480
 and the

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:46.840
 name of

00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:47.019
 the Lord

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.360
 Jesus

00:20:47.360 --> 00:20:47.640
 was

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.420
 extolled.

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:50.340
 Hey,

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.720
 remember

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.240
 those sons

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.759
 of Sceva

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.500
 that fleeced

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:54.340
 us last time

00:20:54.340 --> 00:20:54.740
 and took

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.200
 thousands

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.000
 from us?

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:57.700
 They were

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:58.340
 just exposed

00:20:58.340 --> 00:20:58.700
 the other

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.059
 day.

00:20:59.900 --> 00:21:00.299
 It turns

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:00.480
 not

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:00.680
 they're

00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:01.500
 charlatans

00:21:01.500 --> 00:21:04.639
 pretenders

00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:07.399
 but guess

00:21:07.399 --> 00:21:07.779
 what?

00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:09.579
 That Jesus

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:10.740
 that Paul

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.299
 proclaims

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:13.200
 he had

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.779
 really

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.720
 weight

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:15.940
 authority

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:17.339
 power.

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.859
 So Jesus'

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:21.519
 name

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.599
 is lifted

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:22.879
 up

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:24.740
 and many

00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:25.519
 people respond

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.279
 by putting

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:26.980
 their faith

00:21:26.980 --> 00:21:27.460
 in Jesus.

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:27.819
 He says

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:28.120
 in verses

00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:29.000
 18-20

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:29.799
 Also

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:30.339
 many of

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:30.620
 those

00:21:30.620 --> 00:21:30.880
 who were

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:31.200
 now

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.799
 believers

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.339
 came

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:33.200
 confessing

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.460
 and

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:34.240
 divulging

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:34.480
 their

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:34.980
 practices.

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.059
 And a

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:36.259
 number

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:36.640
 of those

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:36.860
 who had

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:37.220
 practiced

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:37.620
 magic

00:21:37.620 --> 00:21:37.920
 arts

00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:38.240
 brought

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:38.500
 their

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:38.740
 books

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.079
 together

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.339
 and

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.720
 burned

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:39.920
 them

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.140
 in the

00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:40.279
 sight

00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:40.440
 of

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:40.660
 all.

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.420
 And

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:41.559
 they

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:41.880
 counted

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:42.120
 the

00:21:42.120 --> 00:21:42.460
 value

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:42.700
 of

00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:42.860
 them

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.019
 and

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:43.240
 found

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.420
 they

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:43.620
 came

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:43.740
 to

00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:44.579
 50,000

00:21:44.579 --> 00:21:44.920
 pieces

00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:45.120
 of

00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:45.460
 silver.

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:46.180
 So the

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:46.420
 word

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:47.740
 continued

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.259
 to

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:48.740
 increase

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.000
 and

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.420
 prevail

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:50.220
 mightily.

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:52.440
 Spirits

00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:53.440
 and magic

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:54.059
 were part

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:54.519
 of everyday

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.160
 life in the

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.460
 ancient

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:56.259
 world.

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.059
 So it's

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:57.880
 not surprising

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.460
 that many

00:21:58.460 --> 00:21:58.759
 of the

00:21:58.759 --> 00:21:59.460
 newcomers

00:21:59.460 --> 00:21:59.640
 to

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:00.039
 Christianity

00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:00.700
 were

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:01.319
 practicing

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:01.559
 the

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:01.759
 magic

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.160
 arts

00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.700
 as well.

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.160
 But after

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.720
 coming to

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.120
 faith in

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:05.480
 Jesus

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.380
 they came

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:07.240
 confessing

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.440
 and

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.200
 divulging

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:08.640
 these

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:09.200
 practices.

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:10.299
 They

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:11.039
 voluntarily

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.000
 nobody

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.940
 this is

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.279
 not the

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:13.819
 inquisition

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:14.200
 nobody

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.660
 saying

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:15.160
 bring all

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:15.319
 your

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:15.539
 books

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:15.700
 we're

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:15.799
 going

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:15.880
 to

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.140
 burn

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:16.360
 them.

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:16.920
 No

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.120
 they

00:22:17.120 --> 00:22:17.940
 voluntarily

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:18.700
 bring

00:22:18.700 --> 00:22:18.920
 the

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.140
 books

00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:19.299
 that

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.460
 they

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:19.640
 had

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:19.920
 paid

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.400
 hefty

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:20.660
 sums

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:21.019
 for

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:23.680
 and

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:24.019
 burned

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.279
 them.

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:26.819
 these

00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:27.039
 books

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.360
 cost

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:27.660
 a lot

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:27.779
 of

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:28.000
 money

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.460
 because

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:28.640
 they

00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:29.120
 contained

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:29.500
 these

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:29.900
 secret

00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:30.600
 incantations

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:31.100
 that they

00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:31.579
 believed

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:33.019
 conferred power

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.299
 on the

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:33.759
 people who

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.380
 knew them.

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:35.759
 It says

00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.559
 total value

00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:36.819
 of the

00:22:36.819 --> 00:22:37.299
 earned books

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:37.600
 came to

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:38.680
 50,000

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.340
 pieces of

00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:39.700
 silver.

00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:41.000
 A piece

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.519
 of silver

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.600
 is a reference

00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:42.960
 to the

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.200
 Greek

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.840
 drachma

00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:44.519
 which is

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.700
 a common

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.440
 laborer's

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:47.000
 entire

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.539
 day's

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:47.980
 worth of

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:48.279
 wage.

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:49.779
 One

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.120
 silver.

00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:52.339
 50,000

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:53.059
 silver.

00:22:54.379 --> 00:22:55.059
 If you

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.479
 divide that

00:22:55.479 --> 00:22:56.279
 by 365

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.979
 that's

00:22:56.979 --> 00:22:57.099
 the

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:57.379
 equivalent

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:57.519
 of

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.899
 137

00:22:58.899 --> 00:22:59.739
 laborer's

00:22:59.739 --> 00:23:00.239
 annual

00:23:00.239 --> 00:23:00.779
 wage

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:03.659
 with

00:23:03.659 --> 00:23:03.879
 no

00:23:03.879 --> 00:23:04.119
 days

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:04.439
 off.

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:07.039
 If we

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.339
 say that

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:07.739
 an average

00:23:07.739 --> 00:23:08.079
 worker

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.419
 today

00:23:08.419 --> 00:23:08.659
 in the

 U.S.

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.239
 earns

00:23:09.239 --> 00:23:09.639
 $15

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:10.219
 per

00:23:10.219 --> 00:23:10.539
 hour

00:23:10.539 --> 00:23:11.559
 $120

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.219
 per

00:23:12.219 --> 00:23:12.599
 day

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:13.879
 50,000

00:23:13.879 --> 00:23:14.379
 drachmas

00:23:14.379 --> 00:23:14.679
 will

00:23:14.679 --> 00:23:15.019
 equal

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.719
 approximately

00:23:15.719 --> 00:23:16.239
 $6

00:23:16.239 --> 00:23:16.799
 million.

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:21.680
 Those

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:21.919
 are some

00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:22.519
 expensive

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.039
 books.

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.399
 People's

00:23:24.399 --> 00:23:24.720
 life

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.519
 investments.

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:28.019
 Why

00:23:28.019 --> 00:23:28.480
 did people

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:28.899
 do that?

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.079
 Why

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:29.379
 did people

00:23:29.379 --> 00:23:29.740
 buy it?

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.079
 Because

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:30.259
 they

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:30.539
 thought

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.079
 if I

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:31.279
 just

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.579
 had

00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:31.839
 this

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.299
 spell

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:32.639
 if I

00:23:32.639 --> 00:23:32.779
 just

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.059
 had

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.339
 this

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:34.519
 incantation

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:35.200
 I

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.419
 can

00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:35.720
 make

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.039
 sure

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.319
 me

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:36.440
 and

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.599
 my

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.019
 family

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.279
 were

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.779
 healthy

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.579
 were

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:39.220
 wealthy

00:23:39.220 --> 00:23:41.259
 we

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:41.359
 have

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:41.460
 a

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:41.960
 successful

00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:42.440
 life.

00:23:44.899 --> 00:23:45.500
 People

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.960
 had put

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.200
 their

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.660
 hopes

00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:46.920
 and

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.460
 dreams

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.259
 into

00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:48.539
 these

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:48.900
 things

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:49.180
 but

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:49.940
 very

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:50.640
 gladly

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:51.360
 they

00:23:51.360 --> 00:23:51.660
 come

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:51.940
 now

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.140
 and

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.620
 burn

00:23:52.620 --> 00:23:52.940
 them.

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:54.299
 They

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.480
 not

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:54.660
 only

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:55.039
 renounce

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.180
 them

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:55.299
 for

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:55.620
 themselves

00:23:55.620 --> 00:23:55.920
 they

00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:56.039
 don't

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.180
 want

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:56.480
 anyone

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:56.799
 else

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:56.940
 to

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:57.200
 use

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.460
 these

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.039
 futile

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.519
 books.

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:03.840
 Scripture

00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:04.620
 uniformly

00:24:04.620 --> 00:24:05.220
 condemns

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:05.920
 all forms

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.519
 of divination

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.200
 witchcraft

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:07.340

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.200

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:08.600
 omens

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:09.559
 because

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.059
 these

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.220
 are

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:10.640
 all

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.319
 attempts

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.360
 help

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:13.580
 and

00:24:13.580 --> 00:24:14.059
 power

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:15.200
 apart

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.500
 from

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:15.840
 God.

00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.380
 They

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:19.480
 are

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.920
 human

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.360
 attempts

00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:20.980
 know

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:23.819
 self

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.420
 sufficient

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:25.299
 to

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.660
 cut

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:26.240
 God

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:26.860
 out

00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:27.480

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:27.620
 the

00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:27.980
 picture.

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.360
 They

00:24:30.360 --> 00:24:30.720
 are

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.779
 an

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.319
 affront

00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:32.500
 to

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:32.759
 God's

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.100
 sovereignty.

00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:34.600
 They

00:24:34.600 --> 00:24:34.700
 are

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:34.740
 a

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.240
 rejection

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.940
 of

 God's

 If you

 the saving news

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:22.180
 of Jesus Christ

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:25.779
 people in the world

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.700
 with God

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.539
 or to get to know

00:28:32.539 --> 00:28:33.019
 God

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:34.019
 but God

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.740
 has already

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:35.460
 revealed

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:36.200
 the one

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.759
 definitive

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.139
 way

00:28:37.139 --> 00:28:37.599
 by which

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:37.920
 we are

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.200
 to come

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.579
 to know

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:38.940
 him

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.879
 and that

00:28:39.879 --> 00:28:40.119
 is

00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:40.940
 Jesus

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:43.900
 Hebrews 1

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:44.440

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.619
 says

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:45.259
 long ago

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.680
 at many

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.240
 times

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:46.819
 and in many

00:28:46.819 --> 00:28:47.119
 ways

00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:47.900
 God spoke

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:48.859
 to our

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:49.200
 fathers

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.639
 by the

00:28:49.639 --> 00:28:50.139
 prophets

00:28:50.139 --> 00:28:50.819
 but in

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.460
 these last

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:51.680
 days

00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:51.920
 he has

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:52.180
 spoken

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.599
 to us

00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:53.079
 by his

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:53.700
 son

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:54.579
 whom he

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:55.039
 appointed

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:55.720
 the heir

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.139
 of all

00:28:56.139 --> 00:28:56.779
 things

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.879
 Jesus

00:28:57.879 --> 00:28:58.420
 is the

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:58.900
 word of

00:28:58.900 --> 00:28:59.299
 God

00:28:59.299 --> 00:28:59.920
 in

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:00.480
 human

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:01.079
 flesh

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:02.379
 he is

00:29:02.379 --> 00:29:03.019
 the only

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.859
 son

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:04.519
 of God

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:05.819
 Jesus

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.220
 is the

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.740
 ultimate

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.500
 revelation

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:07.899
 of

00:29:07.899 --> 00:29:08.639
 God

00:29:08.639 --> 00:29:09.119
 himself

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:10.519
 that's

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:10.759
 why

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.099
 Jesus

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:11.439
 said

00:29:11.439 --> 00:29:11.579
 in

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.779
 John

00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:12.240

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.299
 listen

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.659
 to the

00:29:21.659 --> 00:29:22.220
 peppers

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:22.579
 of

00:29:23.179 --> 00:29:23.720
 truths

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:24.119

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:24.720
 lies

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.539
 only

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:26.039
 a

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.659
 distorted

00:29:26.659 --> 00:29:27.460
 glimpse

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:27.879
 of the

00:29:27.879 --> 00:29:28.299
 spiritual

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:28.899
 reality

00:29:28.899 --> 00:29:30.539
 don't

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.700
 be

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.319
 misled

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.579
 by

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:31.799
 the

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.619
 carnivores

 Jesus

00:29:37.619 --> 00:29:37.920
 said

 a

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:39.980
 wonderful

 am

00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:41.539
 the

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:41.899
 way

00:29:41.899 --> 00:29:43.000
 I

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.259
 am

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.420
 the

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:43.799
 truth

 I

 am

00:29:44.399 --> 00:29:44.559
 the

 life

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:45.319
 no

00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:45.559
 one

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:45.819
 comes

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:45.960
 to

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.059
 the

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.359
 father

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:47.000
 except

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.740
 through

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:49.019
 me

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:55.159
 what

00:29:55.159 --> 00:29:55.700
 Jesus

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.579
 taught

00:29:56.579 --> 00:29:58.359
 what

00:29:58.359 --> 00:29:58.700
 Jesus

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:59.119
 did

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.719
 is

00:29:59.719 --> 00:30:00.139
 reserved

00:30:00.139 --> 00:30:00.359
 for

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:00.579
 us

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:01.279
 according

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:01.919
 to

00:30:01.919 --> 00:30:02.519
 the

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:02.879
 scriptures

00:30:02.879 --> 00:30:03.799
 so that

00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:04.079
 we might

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.399
 get to

00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:04.879
 no end

00:30:04.879 --> 00:30:08.500
 we don't

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:08.859
 need any

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.159
 magic

00:30:09.159 --> 00:30:09.599
 house

00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.319
 because we

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:11.639
 have a

00:30:11.639 --> 00:30:11.839
 holy

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.159
 world

00:30:12.159 --> 00:30:17.699
 don't

00:30:17.699 --> 00:30:18.079
 think that

00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.379
 there is

00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:19.099
 an alternate

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:19.679
 route to

00:30:19.679 --> 00:30:19.959
 God

00:30:19.959 --> 00:30:21.799
 there is

00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:22.379
 no other

00:30:22.379 --> 00:30:22.799
 way that

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:23.139
 God is

00:30:23.139 --> 00:30:23.459
 a way

00:30:23.459 --> 00:30:23.779
 for our

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.239
 salvation

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.620
 I

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:26.980
 plead

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.180
 to

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.400
 you

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:27.720
 we

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:27.859
 have

00:30:27.859 --> 00:30:28.039
 not

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.259
 put

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:28.400
 your

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:28.660
 faith

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:28.839
 in

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:29.079
 Jesus

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:29.339
 we

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:29.539
 were

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:30.039
 all

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.859
 once

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:31.279
 sinners

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:31.579
 who

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:31.940
 turned

00:30:31.940 --> 00:30:32.180
 to

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.339
 our

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:32.640
 own

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:32.980
 way

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:35.440
 we

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:35.579
 have

00:30:35.579 --> 00:30:35.940
 all

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:38.420
 rebelled

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:38.980
 against

00:30:38.980 --> 00:30:39.640
 God

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:39.859
 our

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.359
 creator

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:41.059
 we

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:41.180
 have

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:41.440
 not

 wanted
