Enlightens the rational with the knowledge of Your greatness.

Do enlight, O my Lord, our thoughts, that we may meditate

upon Your holy and divine Scriptures at all times, O Lord

of all, Father and Son and Holy Spirit.

Forever. Amen.

Episode we spoke about. Fasting and we did a recap last

episode was a. Recap of the Holy Week.

We're going to go back to our study of the book of the Acts of

the Apostles, and we're at chapter 16, verse 16.

So in the. Previous verses we.

Learned about a Excuse me, a businesswoman who was named

Lydia who conducted her business and the Lord opens her heart.

She and her children in the Shippa vision.

It is stated. That she and the sons of her

household were baptized, meaning herself, her husband, her

children, her servants, her employees.

We're all baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

And we learned that after she was baptized, she then continued

to want. To hear about the Lord Jesus.

Christ and Saint Paul and Saul continued to stay with them.

There were a few other ladies as well.

And continued. To basically.

Preach the gospel. Now when I say gospel, don't

think they had a Bible in their hand, right?

With with those what they call those.

Partitions, what they put on the sides there, you know, where

you. Look at the yeah.

Partitions. Yeah, the sleeve holds the

right. No, no, no.

The Gospel meaning Jesus Christ. They preached Jesus.

Resurrected praise and glory be to his name.

OK, today there is a different type of a lady and we're going

to learn about that. Lydia was not problematic.

She didn't become a problem for Paul and Saul.

But this lady will, so let's. Let's.

Pick it up from. Verse 16 we'll read 1617 and 18

and we'll discuss and we'll apply as well.

Very important. And it came to pass as we went

to the House of Prayer, the Constantly in the House of

Prayer synagogue or another house.

Where they gathered for prayers. We were met by a young.

Girl who was possessed. Of a spirit, and who brought her

masters great gain by her future telling clairvoyant right And

she followed Paul, and she followed Paul and us that means.

Luke. Because Luke.

Writes the book of. The the Acts of the Apostles so.

And she follows Paul and Shaw and us crying and saying these

men are the servants of the Most High God.

True, and they preach. To you the way.

Of salvation, true, nothing wrong with that.

But tables turn and she did this for many days. 5-6 we don't

know. Days would have been probably

not more than six days, because then it would be weeks.

So, Paul? Was indignant, got a little bit

angry and said. To the Spirit.

Not to the young girl. I command you in the name of

Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it left her the same hour.

So this lady had what they call a spirit of.

Divination. She used to.

Foretell or she would foretell or.

She knew the future by some supernatural power which is

demonic. Now we know.

Right, so clairvoyance those. Whom you pay money.

Let me give you this offer aside.

When you want to go and pay someone some money to tell your

future, come to me, Give me, give me that money, whatever it

is, 102 hundred, 300, right? And I'll donate it to the

church, I promise you. I'll tell you your future.

I can tell you your future. I don't need to look in the in

a, in a glass a, a. Sphere of glass.

I don't need to bring out tarot cards.

Tarot, Tarot. They call that thing.

Right. I don't need to look in your

palm and look in your eye. I don't.

Need to do that. I'll open the.

Holy. Gospel and I'll tell you

exactly. What your future is?

Right, but you pay me, I will charge you.

I will because why you are. Willing to go and spend your

money with evil? No no no, come and offer your

money. Donate your money freely.

To the Church of. God and I'll tell.

You. Your.

Your future. That's a promise, Steven.

If you start getting customers, you know, refer them.

Refer them to me. So this.

Lady had a supernatural demonic power.

So yes, you know, sometimes we say.

Oh, but they tell. You like they look at you and

they, she told me my life. Story, of course.

It's by the power of the demons, Satan.

That's not from God. But notice something that Christ

was announced through demons in Christ, that in which the

Gentiles were believing was announced through demons.

So if we were asking, why did Saint Paul not rebuke her

immediately and let her continue to cry out?

Because Christ was being. Believed through this.

Christ was being preached OK, but there came a time where

Saint Paul does rebuke and performs a.

Very brief. 3 word or 4 words of exorcism, right?

Didn't need to go up and and continue to.

Say in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of.

Jesus Hallelujah, he didn't. Jabal Bab al Fabal.

He didn't do that. Actually, that's more demonic.

That's more demonic because the name of Jesus, There's power in

the name of Jesus. We're going to talk about that,

OK. Also we.

See that? The demons.

Gave. Witness and said that.

The. Apostles were servants of.

God as well. Great, so there was a.

Confirmation of the. Power of the Apostles.

The authority of the Apostles. The demon testified that.

They're. Preaching.

There's a testimony of the preaching of the word of God.

The preaching was saving and that.

Jesus was. God and not a mere men.

This is what the demons were preaching and.

It is said. That this went for days.

How annoying that have been. She was crying out.

It's like, what is it? Are we there yet?

Are we there yet? Are we there?

Yet, right, it would have been annoying.

There comes a time where Paul didn't buy into that anymore.

But he used praise. God, you know this.

We have to be so prudent like the apostles, hence.

It's the Apostolic Church. It's not.

It's not some Joe Smith's. Church, it's the Apostolic.

Church. The.

Apostles, right? So prudent.

Exactly like their Master, right?

He didn't buy into it, but he played along.

And you know what? He utilized it for good.

He didn't buy into it. He didn't fall.

For it. Just like his Master Jesus

Christ, just like his Master didn't allow testimonies or

witnesses of demons to continue because eventually it would turn

into evil in Luke 441 where the demon says.

You. Are the Son of God.

Jesus rebuked the demon and said be quiet so that we learn that

nothing good from demons comes out if we don't.

Cut it. Why?

Why? Well.

Just as you should. Never trust a thief with your

possessions. Just as you.

Should never trust a scammer, an extortionist with your finances.

So too demons praising Jesus. No no no, it can't be a demon

praising Jesus. OK because demons rebelled.

They are the angels of Satan who rebelled against God and they

knew who Jesus is. But also Saint Paul does this is

to demonstrate. To those who believed.

Him that every believer was stronger than the demon to.

Show that. I will now allow this demon to

continue to. Speak so.

He is now speaking because I am allowing by the authority and

power vesting in me in Jesus name, I am allowing and I'll now

show you that I have the. Authority to.

Shut him up as well. So he also did it to

demonstrate. To.

Those that believe the. Gentiles that every believer is

stronger than the demon you. Believes.

Are you believers? Oh, you who believe.

In the Trinity come he words that cure and give.

Life to the soul, these are the words you believe in the

Trinity. The Father and Son, the Holy

Spirit, you have power over demon and to know and to

understand and to always ask a question.

Can anything good come out of evil?

No. Now let's not mix.

This with the. Fact that God can.

Use evil. And produce good just as his

messengers. His apostle did today we read.

No God can in Genesis chapter 20 verse 20, but when God.

Uses evil doesn't mean that evil.

Becomes good. Evil is still evil God.

Changes it into good. Genesis 20.

Genesis, 5020. Joseph to his brothers after

their father's. Death said you concealed or you

counselled evil against me and God.

Directed good to do as it is today, he let it as it is today.

And he will save many people. Here we are today.

God used your evil. For today and many.

People were saved, Romans. Chapter 8.

Romans 8 · chapter mention

Verse 28 All things happen for the good.

Of those who love the Lord. Well, in the shut, the version

says. But we know that he.

Helps those who love. God in everything for good.

Everything even. Evil he will help for good and

also Paul. This does this to show that he

had power both to, as I said, both to.

Allow the demon to continue and to release him to keep him

quiet. What do we learn from all this?

Some will say well. This is the book of of the Acts,

you know. That's why many people don't

preach the book of the ACT especially.

Those. Who are going to be very much

rebuked by their understanding of the Scriptures and the

Church. That's why the book of the ACT.

Is a very important book to learn how the.

Church was established. But what do we learn from this?

How can we apply this in our lives today as Christians?

Followers of the Holy. Scriptures we learned that we

should never entertain evil, immoral, deceiving, corrupting

people and their attributes. We should.

Nothing good can come from evil, immoral, deceiving, corrupting

people and their attributes unless they repent.

We learned that we should not trust.

The good. That is coming out of the evil.

Maybe allow it for a little. While to show that.

I'm going to allow it. Well, how do you?

Prove that because I'm going to now shut it up.

So if I'm going to shut it up, it means I allowed it.

So don't trust the good coming out of any evil, beloved.

Don't trust the. Thief telling you that stealing

is bad? No, he's luring you.

He's luring you. Come, come.

Yeah, it's bad. Thieving is bad.

It's not right. You know it destroys.

People. But then maybe, and then you'll

you fall into it and he has you by the ankle.

He has you by his stronghold. Don't trust the.

Thief telling you that stealing is bad unless the thief has

repented. Don't trust.

Immoral and abominable people telling you.

What is? Pure and what is unclean unless

they have repented. I was, I was watching a video of

a person, a brother I should call now, that would constantly

disrespect God and oh, and he was very famous, always.

Talk bad about God. I don't read it any Redeemer.

I don't need to be redeemed. He falls, I'll.

Life threatening illness. But then he is healed and you

know what his testimony is? Here it is.

Is evil, is still was, is still evil, but he said through this

evil. Through my.

Evil. I saw God.

And now he believes. He's goes to church.

With his family. OK, so unless they have

repented. Don't trust.

Murderers lecturing you on human life?

Don't trust murderers telling you that the human life is

precious. No, because they will.

Lure you? And then one day you're going to

be a murderer. Do not.

Yoke with those who preach Jesus but reject his divinity because

that's evil for. Someone who does not.

Receive. Believe.

Accept, confess the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let him be. Cursed because it's evil.

Don't yoke with those who preach.

Jesus, but do not. But reject his Christ would his

lordship, etcetera. No, do not.

Listen to those who. Preach in the name and hide

behind the title church. The body of Christ but have

rejected. The one Holy and Apostolic and

Catholic Universal Church don't. That's evil.

That's evil. Because it goes against the

Scriptures, it goes against the church history.

Do not receive and be encouraged by vain glory from prideful

people. Prideful people who give you

vain glory don't, because you're going to fall in the same.

Error that you will. Start looking for vain glory.

No Jesus. Didn't he he?

He totally avoided. When he when he fed the 4000,

they came to take him and make him a king.

He left, He went, he went, he ran away.

He didn't want that. You know why?

Because John chapter 2, verse 22, Jesus did not need anyone to

John 2:22

testify about mankind, for he himself knew what was in

mankind. He knew that those who were

going to hell, me, a king, a hero, they're going to crucify

Me and call out to be crucified. We learned that we should know

that. Evil people, evil circumstances,

evil places, evil sights. Evil, intent have all given

themselves. Up to the evil. 1.

But what are we? Supposed to do then when we are

constantly bombarded, what do we do Robbie?

I have friends that are constantly cussing, constantly

want to go out and and drink and and get drunk and have sex and

have drugs and get involved in immorality and abominable

activities. Abominations.

What do I do? They constantly bombard me.

Well, let me tell you what. You do you.

In the name of. Jesus Christ, rebuke that.

Person in the neck What did Saint Paul?

Say to this. Young girl and she did this for

many days and Paul was indignant and said.

To the Spirit I. Command you in the name of.

Jesus, he's. Commanding the demon to get out

Ring ring ring ring bells are going off I know those who.

Read their scriptures bells. Are ringing now yes Mark chapter

Mark 16:17–18

16 verses 17 to 18 look at what. Jesus said to his disciples.

These are the signs which will accompany.

Those who believe. So when people believe in your

name or when people believe your message, this is a sign that

will accompany in my name you not.

They, not the believers. You will cast out demons.

Here it is. The Gentiles believed St.

Paul. Let it go a little bit, you

know? You know what?

Let me, let me fool you, demon. You think you're going to do me?

Hum, No. There's going to be a time in

the name of Jesus, I'm going to hammer you.

I'm going to rebuke. You're going to be fleeing like

a family, right? Let me tell.

You, those who believed. He allowed and then.

So that their faith. Was more confirmed and there

would be. More encouraged that what?

This man had. Just said about Jesus.

Whom they hadn't seen. He names him.

He doesn't bring. He doesn't, you know, pray to

the Lord. To.

Appear and to show yourself. You know as many people want to

see signs. Oh, I saw Jesus in a cloud.

Hallelujah. Look.

There's an image of. Jesus rebuke.

Jesus in the name. Of rebuke these people.

In the name of Jesus Christ, the tankers.

Go off Oh, here are the horns that in the Book of Revelation

we. Rebuke these people in the name

of Jesus Christ. False.

Prophets, yes. I don't care who comes out and

and counters this program. False prophets.

False prophets. No, we don't.

Need that No, we have power in the name of Jesus Christ to.

Wait to wait. He didn't ask for that.

He just said, let me show you who this Jesus is.

See this. See this.

Girl who's been battered, who's been, who has been tortured,

properly tormented by this demon, I now show you that I've

authority to let her continue and to prove to that because I'm

going to now shut her up. And he did, in the name of

Jesus, believe in the name. Of Jesus what?

Does it mean to believe in the name of Jesus, the power in the

name of Jesus Christ? When you say Jesus, that's why

you don't. Oh.

Jesus, oh Jesus, that's the. Name of our Lord, our God, our

Master, our Savior, our Christ, right?

That name has power. You don't just use it empty.

Look at what Simon said in Acts. Chapter 3, verse 6.

Acts 3:6

His first? Miracle is his first power.

What I have to the lame? To the crippled beggar.

I don't have money, I don't have stocks, but what I do have, I

give it to you because he can't. You cannot withhold Jesus from

anyone in the name of. Jesus the.

Christ the Nazarian stand up and.

Walk and also walk so that today.

The critiques won't say. Oh.

He stood up. People held him up.

No, no, no walk. So he walked.

So when you're. Tempted my beloved youth, both

male and female. Now, male and female, you're

being tempted by sexual immorality and I'm going.

To say it, it's. Time to speak as.

As it is because if I hold back. Then I have to give an account

if you're having issues with masturbation, if you're having

issues with sexual desires that you know are a temptation, if

you're being pressured unto in these through these weaknesses,

challenges by Satan, what do you do?

What do you do? You cry out in the name of.

Jesus. You rebuke.

You tell Satan to. Get lost, use these words.

You know these are not disrespectful words to Satan

doesn't need. This you don't.

We owe no respect to Satan. Satan is not worthy of any

respect. In the name of Jesus, Satan, I

rebuke you if you have temptations and there's a it's

not an addiction, it's a demon. Rebuke that demon in the name.

Of Jesus Fast, pray. Come and confess to your priest

and don't listen to. Those who say I don't need.

To confess to a man Well Gee, St.

Paul says, confess your sins to one another so bang, whammy,

rebuked, right come and. Talk to your spiritual.

Counsellor, your priest, who will then set you on the path of

penitence. Strength.

If you're being pressured in anything, not just sexual

immorality, cry out in the name of Jesus Christ and believe.

First of all, you got to believe.

In the name the title Lord. You know what Lord means?

He owns you. He owns your eyes.

He. Purchased us by his blood.

We just celebrated. That acts chapter 20, verses 25

Acts 20:25–28

to 28 he. Purchased us but he Lords it.

Over us in love, in caring, in compassion, in mercy, in grace.

Believe he is God. He is the Lord God Maria, Lord

God Jesus Christ. He is.

God, Jehovah's Witnesses, our friends, the Jehovah's

Witnesses, the Mormons, the Muslims.

The Jews. Hebrews.

Chapter one, verse 8. But concerning the Son, there is

one Son, Jesus Christ. He said Who said God the Father

said. Your throne, O God.

Show me in the Bible, where does it say?

Your throne, O God, He's talking to the Son, your throat.

And God the Father. Is saying this your throne, O

God? Is to the.

Eternity of eternities. Have have, have.

Faith and and and believe in the power of the name of the Lord

God. Jesus.

What does Jesus? Mean he's a saviour.

Matthew 121 and the Angel. Says to Joseph.

And you shall bring forth, and she I'm sorry, And she shall

bring forth a son, and she shall call.

His name, Yeshua Jesus, for he shall.

Save his name is going to be called.

Jesus because he's. Going to save.

Who is the say? Who's the one that saves?

He's a savior his. People from their sins believe

in the power of the name Christ the Anointed. 1 He is the

promised one. That's why he entered Jerusalem

and finally, finally, finally through humility.

Accepted that that glory. That was given to him and most

befitting to him. Christ the anointed one.

Don't wait for anyone else. Don't throw another Christ.

Don't wait for the Christ the Jews are waiting for.

No, no, no, we we pray. For those Jews.

That are waiting for the Lord to return and the.

Hafer is ready and the temple tax is ready, Lord, I pray.

In my most frailty misery touch their hearts.

Lord open their eyes, because when you return, you are the

Lion of Judah. You're going coming to set

things right. You're going to show what was

right, and those who remained in you will enter.

Righteously. Into the Kingdom of heaven.

Psalm. Chapter 2.

addiction, a demon in the name. Of Jesus do it.
