Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption
-
Draweth Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. I'm
-
your host Matthew. Tonight, we're doing a fellowship and we're going to start
-
out the fellowship with some questions that Jennifer has concerning a situation that is going
-
on in her church. So, Jenny, come on and what's the questions
-
that are arising at your church? Hi? Everybody. Essentially I'm boiling it
-
down, but we're trying to clarify in regards to demons. They obviously are
-
the remnant of I have always assumed they were the remnant leftover from the giants,
-
and we were looking for clarity on whether they were these whether these demons
-
were the spirits of these giants, or what exactly they are, if that
-
makes any sense. If they were spirits that like we we each have,
-
Like you said, Matthew, Soma, Psyche and Numa, is that how
-
they were built the same way? Or you know, what's their build what's
-
their makeup? What is this demon that's leftover? Does that make sense?
-
Yes, it makes sense. So the first thing we need to look at
-
is you are saying that these demons. Now you're saying this by assumption.
-
You're saying that these demons have spirits, and that they have spirits because of
-
the joining of the angelic race and the human race. Correct, Yes,
-
I guess that was what I had presumed. Okay, Well, the Bible
-
tells us emphatically that they send against all flesh. Genesis comes right out and
-
says this, that all flesh was corrupted, all flesh was corrupted. So
-
you have to realize that this crosses another bridge. This means that they also
-
send against the animals. Now, this takes you into a different field.
-
So let me ask you this, So, do animals have spirits? I
-
cannot provide a lot of clarity on that, but I really think there is
-
a lot of data about it biblically that I have not studied, just just
-
due to the nature of not ever being a huge press for me to know
-
that. Well, let's do this. Let's pause for a minute. Let's
-
go back through the event in question. So you're stating that somewhere in the
-
Bible that these giants are talked about. Where is that at Well, the
-
specific chapter that we had been referencing was Genesis six, but obviously we know
-
that giants are mentioned a multitude of times throughout the Old Testament. All right,
-
all right, do you have that scripture available in the new in the
-
new King James version. I do not have a new King James Bible.
-
Okay, Well, everybody, just so you know, this ministry has officially
-
switched over to the New King James version. Why because it holds to the
-
Adiddo Regia manuscript. What's that? Many of you years too, if you're
-
a novus in studying the Bible, you think that the Greek manuscript is the
-
Texas Receptist. No, the Texas Receptist is a category of manuscripts. The
-
manuscript that was certified by the entire planet, all preachers, all Christians,
-
all clergy at the time, all ratified the Adido Regia manuscript. What's that?
-
That is? This? That is the stuff honest New Testament from fifteen
-
fifty. How can I approve that? Unequivocably with you right now? In
-
a court of law, we could prove this is the case, because your
-
Bible, no matter which Bible you have, have the chapters and verses that
-
came from Stephanis's Aditto Regia. The New King James version holds to that save
-
a single instance. That's Luke, chapter seventeen, verse thirty six. Why
-
is it in there and it shouldn't be. You need to take a pencil
-
and after you've bought a New King James version, mark out that verse Luke
-
seventeen thirty six. It's not there. That was added by the publisher because
-
in the fifteen fifty four fourth edition of the Addo Regia, Stephanis put that
-
in a footnote. He did not put it in the text. He put
-
it in a footnote. So the translators included it in the actual Adido Regia,
-
which are in the actual New King James version, which it should have
-
not have been. So that being the case, we're just going to whip
-
on over to Genesis chapter six and my brand spanking new Walmart New King James
-
version, they have them there. I've looked at three Walmart's in three different
-
cities, and they all had this exact Bible in my hand for seventeen dollars.
-
I also got the super giant print, which was twenty four dollars,
-
so anyway, very cheap you need to get one. We'll start from the
-
top because what I mentioned is here. It's just that everybody likes to stick
-
to those first top verses. They never get to verse twelve, they never
-
get that far. So now game coapass. When men began to multiply on
-
the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the
-
sons of God. God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful,
-
and they took wives for themselves, all of whom they choose. And
-
the Lord said, my spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he
-
is indeed flesh. Yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.
-
There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when
-
the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to
-
them, those were the mighty men who were of old, the men of
-
renown. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
-
earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
-
continually, And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth
-
and he was grieved in his heart. So the Lord said, I will
-
destroy man whom I have made. I'm sorry whom I have created from the
-
face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing, and birds
-
of the air. For I am sorry that I've made them. But Noah
-
found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Now this is the genealogy of
-
Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked
-
with God, and Noah begat three sons, Shamham and Jacob. The earth
-
was also corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence, so
-
that God looked upon the earth, indeed it was corerupt. Indeed it was
-
corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth period at the
-
end of that sentence, So first and foremost, this tells us that yes,
-
their first sin was against man. These but neha Alahim and the Hebrew
-
make no mistakes, that's angels. Every time this phrase is used, and
-
the Bible is directly linked to angels. That can be no one else.
-
They first corrupted the angels. But as you could see, by the time
-
God decided to make this judgment, that was very clear. The entire Earth
-
had been twisted by the full So you're absolutely correct in saying that, yes,
-
they came, they began with humans, and it created mythology. And
-
the Bible just came out and told you, whether you're like it or not,
-
the mythologies on this planet are real. I mean, we all know
-
from Greek mythology to tell about Hercules, correct, Jennifer, That's exactly what
-
Hercules was. That's what he was. It just said that. This text
-
called him a giant, he was a man of renown. He was literally
-
pass son of God and half daughter of man. That's what he was.
-
This clearly just said that. There's no debating that. That's what it said.
-
This is why and other scriptures it literally comes out and dead bags this.
-
I mean, look at the said Kouage it. It'll tell you in
-
more than one place, comes right out and tells you they were satyrs.
-
What is a satyr? Jennifer, do you know what to be goat half
-
gosh man, half goat half man? Right, No, no it's not
-
no, it's half goat half angel. Oh yeah yeah, okay, I
-
was thinking of them. What the body looked like? Okay, yes,
-
yes, the body is what you would think looks like a man, but
-
it's not. It's an angel. So this is where we really have to
-
go to bat with ourselves. This is why you have these strange instances of
-
the New Testament that someone will get possessed by a demon and this demon will
-
try to throw them in the fire or try to throw them in water,
-
and they can't speak. And of course this created a real conundrum with the
-
apostles because they're like, you know, we can't throw this thing out.
-
Why not? It doesn't understand what we're saying, because it was never I
-
mean, let's talk about a goat. Is a goat going to understand your
-
commands to it? Let's talk more importantly, let's talk about a fish.
-
Let's really talk about a fish. And we can go back to mythology to
-
Dagon. Right, you know that Dagon is in the Bible, Right,
-
Dagon was worshiped by those countries along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Let's
-
talk about that. So if an angel had corrupted the kingdom of fish,
-
did it even have vocal cords? Jennifer, No, I would not.
-
Okay, tell me something of maximum importance. Okay, maximum importance, and
-
a cat per Yes, okay, and a lion, per I don't honestly
-
know, but I would assume yes, No, they can't. No,
-
they can't. Okay, they do not have those special cords in their vocal
-
courts. Okay, so let's talk about a fish. Does a fish have
-
any vocal cords, not that I'm aware of? None? Why? Because
-
they do not breathe air? Correct? Right now? We all know that
-
corpuses they got vocal cords, right, I don't know. Yes, you
-
know that they can squeal. They can Okay, this is why they can
-
be trained. Okay, because they they don't, you know, need gills.
-
They actually breathe, they have blowholes, right, they actually have vocal
-
cords. But fish do not. Fish have fins, They have no vocal
-
cords. So how would a fish, ever, how would it ever have
-
the capacity for a verbal language? Okay, more importantly, and a fish
-
here, you and I don't think so? I mean I don't know how,
-
Yeah, I don't think so. No vibrations, I mean I don't
-
know anyway. Do they have ear drums? No? No, so they
-
can't hear. Okay, you are correct. Being an aquatic animal, there
-
scales are most tuned to very particular vibrations and very very slight vibrations in the
-
water. However, they do not have ear drums. Okay, So if
-
you're dealing with the spirit, that's half angelic, which had no body.
-
Right now, that's not to say that an angel does not have intelligence,
-
but an angel does not have a body ascribed to it. The Bible says,
-
most particularly that they are flames of fire. And let me ask you
-
that. So, Jennifer, has the physicists, have the scientists figure out
-
what a flame is? Yet? Do they have all that math worked out?
-
I don't have any friends that are physicists, but I'm going to assume
-
since you're asking that they don't. No, they don't, okay, because
-
what is a flame? It's not an element, it's a chemical reaction.
-
Now, but the problem is that even with an alcohol fire, you can't
-
see it. Right. A flame defies gravity? What else defies gravity?
-
Come on? Now? Does a gas? Does it have to adhere to
-
the laws of gravity? Hydrogen and helium, Yes, they have to.
-
They have to obey the laws of gravity, right, A flame does not.
-
Okay, So that puts you into another realm. Does nothing? When
-
you realize that an angel the Bible says is a flame of fire, so
-
seees how physicists can't really tell you what a fire is. They can only
-
tell you that fire is independent that everything else. That's all they can do.
-
That's all they can do. The only thing they can tell you is
-
that it's not a solid, it's not a gas. You see solids and
-
gases and liquids. They must obey the little gravity. It is the flame
-
and the flame alone that does not it doesn't have weight. Does it riddle
-
me this? How dense is a flame? Jennifer, I'm feeling like a
-
real failure at science here right now. No, you don't have to fail.
-
Your feel like a failure. It's just you're not expecting me to ask
-
these questions because you needed the answers as to where giants come from, and
-
your mind was targeting a specific thing, and that was okay, It was
-
okay. But we have to lay groundwork here, and we have to prove
-
why the Bible says what it says. And it's just not the daughters of
-
man that they corrupted. That passes of scripture clearly says all flesh was corrupted.
-
So we need to figure out what these spirits are We get very quickly
-
that these numas are half human and humans have spirits, right, right,
-
So that makes things that's a starting point. Now the next thing we need
-
to do. Do animals have spirits? Let me just ask you that where's
-
the chapter and verse that says animals have spirits? Like I said, I
-
don't. I have not studied on this topic, so I cannot elaborate on
-
it at all. Okay, well, that's a good thing for you that
-
I don't know too much on the Bible that I can't elaborate on. So
-
let me just whip over a real quick I'm sorry everybody I know get through
-
cumbersome when you have a paper Bible. But anyway, Ecclesiastes, chapter three,
-
and of course verse twenty one, it's very clear and people, actually
-
we've talked about this before, I believe. Anyway, let's start in let's
-
see verse nineteen, or maybe verse eighteen. Yeah, let's start in verse
-
eighteen. I said, in my heart concerning the condition of the sons of
-
men, God tests them that they may see that they themselves are like animals.
-
What I'm pretty sure God just insulted us. Anyway, Verse nineteen for
-
what happens to the sons of men? Now, take no, ladies and
-
gentlemen, you're supposed to be familiar with the Bible, God's Holy Word.
-
Why does he keep using that phraseology is coming straight from the from Genesis chapter
-
six, right, I kept saying the doctors of men? Right, So
-
just you need to latch onto that. What happens to the sons of men
-
also happens to the animals. One thing befalls them. As one dies,
-
so dies the other. Surely they all have one breath, high ass Greek
-
numa. Man has no advantage over the animals, for all his vanity,
-
all go one place, all are from dust and return to dust. Who
-
knows that the spirit of the sons of men which goes upward, and the
-
spirit of an animal which goes down to the earth. I'm sorry, did
-
nobody ever read Ecclesiastes? I mean, I could keep going here and it
-
says a whole lot of other stuff. But anyway, yeah, yeah,
-
the Lord, the Lord is probably pushing me a little too hard Verse twenty
-
two. So I have perceived that nothing is better than that a man should
-
rejoice in his own works, and that in his heritage. For who can
-
bring him to see what will happen after him. You see this stanza here,
-
verses eighteen through twenty two of ECCLESIASIDS. Chapter three is pure prophecy built
-
upon Gen. Six. So we've laid the foundation that you've spoken incorrectly,
-
Jennifer. I appreciate that you put in I appreciate that you put in there
-
with giants, but you you're immediately forgetting more than half of that stanza in
-
Gen six, it's twelve verses long, not four. So these spirits spirits
-
are angelic in origin. They're angelic spirits that was produced by the sons of
-
men and also everything on this planet. This is where Greek mythology gets Kaimeris
-
from. Is the verses I just read to you. That's where they come
-
from. So this is where you get. Of course, in the epilogent
-
literally comes right out and says in one verse, oh, no, cenataurs,
-
what's that? It's half donkey, half angel, not half man.
-
I know you've been taught, and I know what the entertainment industry has done
-
to you, Okay, I know that the Percy Jackson series is real big
-
right. Also a clash of the Titans is real big right, But no,
-
those creatures that you see that are half animal and half what you think
-
is human, it's not. They're half angel. That's what the Bible is
-
saying. So obviously the Bible is saying that, yes, yes, spirit,
-
animals do have spirits. So that's what's being produced here. So now
-
we need to take a deep breath here and say, okay, so how
-
can we prove right, how can we prove that that's what we're dealing with
-
here? And by the way, yes, if you look in a subcu
-
agent, yes, if you look in the Hebrew there inclus yes, these
-
chapter three, Yes, it's numa in Greek, just so you know.
-
And yes, the accompanying counter word in Hebrew is used in those texts.
-
So yes, animals, yes they do, they have spirits. So let's
-
jump over to Matthew chapter eight and verse six. Me. Sorry, ladies
-
and gentlemen, Matthew, Hey, that's what I was named after. Amen
-
huge chapter eight and verse six, for I remember let's see here, oh
-
maybe after it further down sixteen yeah, sixteen, Sorry, I was remembering
-
six's after sixteen when evening had come, they brought to him many who were
-
demon possessed, and he cast out the spirits yet in Greek that's numa with
-
a word, and healed all who were sick that it might be fulfilled,
-
which is spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying he himself took our infirmities and bore
-
our sickness. So, yes, these things are spirits, they're numas,
-
and those numas are produced by both people and animals of every varying text.
-
It's just very important that remember that Genesis chapter six. You have to read
-
the entire stanza. It's twelve verses, and at the end of that stanza
-
it says very carefully, the end of that stanza, it's very clear that
-
everything was corrupted. Let's see here verse twelve. So God looked upon the
-
earth, and indeed it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way
-
on the earth. So it starts out with people and it goes on until
-
this abomination. I defiled every single species on this planet. So does that
-
answer your question, Jennifer? Are there any questions other? Yes? That
-
was thank you. So why is this coming up in your church? They're
-
just generally talking about it. This is a normal lesson that they're doing or
-
this is a special instance or situation. They've started talking about this now for
-
a little bit, so it's an ongoing for No. I don't know,
-
maybe four or five months now. So I was just trying to be as
-
beneficial and helping with that the teaching or the understandings as they could be.
-
So that's that's where we were at right now. Okay, all right,
-
Well, that solid grand to stand on if you want to go further than
-
that. The majority of this information is taken by that book that is quoted
-
in the New Testament, the Book of Enoch, which Aaron my Son has
-
translated and keyed to strongs. So you can actually take a look at that
-
line up the Greek words that I just gave you and find them right there
-
in the Book of Enoch because he has keyed the Arkman fragments two strongs.
-
So, uh, Sherry, what's your thoughts on this topic? Because you
-
said that you know you was curious about this topic too, So what's your
-
thought. Had anybody laid that down for you that the Bible emphatically says that,
-
yes, yes, the animals have spirits. Let's talk about that part.
-
No. I thought it was interesting, of course, immediately when I'm
-
hearing about the angel fish thing, and I'm thinking, oh, yeah,
-
Merman, so that's where all this stuff comes from, you know what I
-
mean. Oh, I had not heard a lot of this before, and
-
I was I was glad we were talking about this because I learned a lot.
-
I mean, I'd always thought that I understood DENNISIX six and I and
-
I did only part of it. So this was good, good, good
-
new. You know, this is a pretty fringe topic, right, and
-
a lot of churches do not talk about it. That's that's for sure.
-
You know. Let's let's go ahead and read this instance from Matthew chapter seventeen.
-
Let me grab my Bible brand speaking new. I don't have any marks
-
in it at all. I've not outlined anything in it. I can't wait
-
to start back from zero for okay. Matthew chapter seventeen, verse fourteen.
-
When they had come to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling
-
down to him and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for
-
he is an epileptic and suffers severely, for he often falls into the fire
-
and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples. But
-
they could not cure him. Then Jesus had answered it said, oh,
-
faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long
-
shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me? And Jesus rebuked
-
the demon, and it came out of him, and the child was cured.
-
From that very hour, when the disciples came to Jesus privately and said,
-
why could we not cast it out? So Jesus said to them,
-
because of your unbelief. For assuredly I say to you, and if you
-
have the faith of a mustard seed, and say to this mountain, move
-
from here to there, it will move, and nothing will be impossible for
-
you. However, this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.
-
And I already explain to you why. And take note, because this
-
demonac had not said anything crazy. This Greek here is very clear. The
-
dad did not know he was possessed. Did he sharey? Apparently not,
-
he said he told I. Imagine walking up to God the son and saying,
-
hey, my son is an epileptic. He's he's sick, come healing.
-
And Jesus must have been thinking, no, no, he's not sick.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, This boy's not sick, he's possessed by an unclean
-
spirit that does not have the ability to communicate vocally. Let's just use one
-
from Greek mythology, right, So, Erry, you know a little bit
-
about Greek mythology, right, what's the kraken? What is that? Actually?
-
I'm not very well versed in that. Probably Jamie could answer that more
-
than me. Okay, Jamie, what's a kraken? A giant seabeast ocopus
-
type? It has been it's bingos, thank you, Jamie. Yeah,
-
So what would happen if an angel erupted an octopus? What would happen?
-
Okay? It would just rage without any kind of reason. It couldn't reason
-
with it. That's right. It would rage without reason. Jamie put that
-
perfectly. It would rage without reason. That's exactly what this boy was doing.
-
He was raging without reason. So they have to use the serpent in
-
the garden. I mean, they use what they got to use, right,
-
Yes, they use what they have to use exactly. So take note,
-
ladies and gentlemen, that this is why Jesus gave authority to the spirits.
-
Right, he had already an authority to them, and they should have
-
been able to cast this out. But Jesus most symphatically says, however,
-
this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting, because you have
-
to ask. You have to pray for God to intervene. Because this thing
-
can't understand you. What makes you think it could under Let me say it
-
again. Does an octopus have vocal cords, ladies and gentlemen. Does it
-
have an ear drum? Look, it has no conceptual way to understand you,
-
rebuking it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's body.
-
Its body never had an ear drum. So if it has taken possession of
-
a person, and this person has ear drums, it is relaying information from
-
the soma. That's the Greek word for body. Remember the brain, that's
-
an organ. The ear drum, that's an organ. This entity, this
-
numa, it has a psyche, and its psyche is not compatible with the
-
human brain. It's not compatible. It's not just that it's not the right
-
size, ladies and gentlemen. The neurons in the brain of an octopus is
-
not polarized correctly. They're not set up correctly to interpret human thought. You
-
can yell and scream at an entity that is half angelic and half octopus,
-
and it's not going to do you any good. Going to have to send
-
up the request Jacob's latter. This is the whole reason why the New Testament
-
loudly states that Jacob's Latter is now placed upon the shoulders of the Lord Jesus
-
Christ, and now they have to ascend and descend via that conduit, via
-
that authority, which is above all authorities. So you have to send a
-
request up Jacob's ladder. God has to reply and send down that request via
-
Jacob's latter. And that's how the problem's dealt with, because commanding it is
-
not going to do you any good. It never had that capacity. Now
-
there are many animals that do have these capacities. Take notes. Let me
-
talk to Jinny again. So, Jenny, how effective is the species German
-
shepherd on this planet? How successful is that breed of dog successful? In
-
what way? That's what I'm asking you. If it is successful, how
-
is it successful? I'd never had one. I would assume they're very good
-
at multitude of things. I think my dad may have had one when he
-
was in the army as a dog that he took out to like sniff out
-
for looking for things hidden in the ground. Okay, that's a good that's
-
a good way. That's a good way to breed up. So what other
-
type of breed is used by the military. I'll tell you none. When
-
it comes to the United States military, they just get German shepherds. Have
-
you ever seen a poodle in use by the United States Army? I have
-
not. You have not, nor will you. Let's talk about the police.
-
Okay, so what dog of breed does the police use? I do
-
not know. German shepherd the same thing. Okay, yeah, same thing,
-
same thing, because they are highly effective in training, and they are
-
incredibly smart. Right, yes, so they in of themselves have all the
-
hardware with which to interpret vocal commands, right, right, and not just
-
vocal commands vocal stimuli. Now, why did I say that vocal stimuli?
-
Well, how does a dog react to other dogs? Barkie? They usually
-
join, That's right, My point being it was kind of a tricksy question.
-
They react to other dogs barking, don't they. They also can communicate
-
to other animals via barking, an't they? So, yes, this is
-
proof in the pudding. They have all the soma, all the body parts
-
required to interpret vocalization and respond to it. You see, you have to
-
have the hardware first, and then the software in that brain must also be
-
able to interpret and produce reactions. So ear drums is not enough and the
-
brain is not enough. They have to be figured correctly. That could be
-
configured correctly. So if you're dealing with a demon, all demons are angelic
-
in their origin, right, Quit thinking that they're half man. They're not.
-
They're half angel. So if you run into an entity that is angelic
-
in origin and German shepherd in origin, that one you will be able to
-
command because that that that abomination has the hardware to interpret and react and respond
-
to vocalization. Now there's many animals on this planet that can respond to vocalization,
-
but they cannot react to it. That is to say, not every
-
animal that has vocal horrors and ear drums can be trained. Everyone who works
-
in a zoo can tell you this. So this is what is being relayed
-
to in the Bible, God's Holy Word. In more waste than one tonight,
-
I just decided to do the Greek, but we very well could have
-
done the Hebrew. It would have basically said basically would have said the same
-
thing in the Hebraica as the Hellenica. What's the Hellenica? The Hellenica is
-
the complete Greek Bible. The complete Greek Bible is a septuagen Old Testament coupled
-
with the Edicto Regia New Testament. The Hebraica is the Old Testament maseratic texts
-
combined with delitch New Testament. Very easy to prove. We just proved this
-
in the Devil and Satan fellowship that we did right, Very easy to prove.
-
If you have the wherewithal to no Hebrew and have the wherewithal of no
-
Greek, you can plainly prove that the Hebraic aligns up perfectly with the Helenica.
-
So any other questions about demons or unclean spirits or whatever else you want
-
to call them, any other questions about them. I did have a question,
-
not so much about the well, I guess it sort of is the
-
prayer and fasting to get these certain ones out. I understand the prairie quest.
-
I don't understand the fasting. Is that is that something part of your
-
life that should be that you're fasted up at all times? You know you
-
fast so many days a week or and you see this, you begin to
-
assass and send your prayers. I mean, why the fasting with the prayer?
-
Let's ask Jenny, Jenny, what's what's your thoughts? Why do you
-
think it's a combination of the two. I don't know. The first thing
-
came to mind was two witnesses. But that's that's that's what I thought.
-
But I don't know. Well, that's that's actually pretty good. That's uh,
-
that's that's obviously pretty good. So so does anybody know where these two
-
words come together in the sub trojan? No? No, I'm sorry,
-
did you say no, misir? I don't. I don't know. Well,
-
gamy, that's probably why you don't know. Okay, Let's go to
-
Namayah chapter one, verse four. Matter fact, let's go to just Neamiyah
-
chapter one. Okay, So who wants to read it for me? Somebody?
-
Come on, it's not hard to find Neamiyah's inn the Old Testament before
-
songs. I just don't have a new king, James, But that's okay,
-
that's okay. Read what you have, okay? And he said,
-
what what? Chapter and chapter one? Chapter one? Mh yeah, chapter
-
one verse what? Just read I think you'll hear it. Okay, the
-
words of Niamayah, the son of heck Elaiah. Now it happened in the
-
month ki his Love, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa,
-
the capital that Hannanayah, one of my brothers, and some men from
-
Judah came and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped and had survived
-
the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, the remnant
-
there and the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and disgrace.
-
And the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned
-
with fire. Now, when I heard these words, I sat down and
-
wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the God
-
of Heaven. I said, Please, Lord, God of Heaven, the
-
great and awesome God who keeps the covenant and faithfulness for those who love him
-
and keep his commandments. Let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open
-
to hear the prayer of your servant, which I am praying before you now
-
day and night on. Behalf of the sons of Israel, your servants,
-
confessing the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have committed against you.
-
I and my father's house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against
-
you. And I have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor
-
the ordinances. What you commanded your servant Moses. Remember, please the word
-
what you commanded your servant Moses, saying, if you are unfaithful, I
-
will scatter you among the peoples. But if you return to me and keep
-
my commandments and do them. Though those of you who have been scattered were
-
in the most remote parts of the heavens, I will gather them from where
-
and bring them to the place where I have chosen to have my name dwell.
-
They are your servants and your people, whom you're redeemed by your great
-
power and by your strong hand. Please, Lord, may your ear be
-
attentive to the prayer of your servant and the prayer of your servants who delight
-
to revere your name. And please make your servants successful today, and grant
-
him mercy before this man, Now I was the cup bear to the king.
-
End of chapter one. You didn't have to read that far, but
-
it made it very clear as to why a prayer and fast should be coupled
-
together. And yes, here in the Hellenica, just like you thought.
-
Okay, just exactly what that verse said over there in Matthew. That's what
-
these Greek words are. That's G. Three thirty six. And of course
-
the company were there for praying. Just look it up. You need to
-
write these things down and look it up for yourself. I won't give you
-
the word for praying because you need to do that for yourself. So you
-
see that when there's a major catastrope, it takes prayer and fasting to petition
-
heaven. It made itself pretty clear, right, yeah, yes, definitely,
-
And this word said, I beseech you, we could do it.
-
We could do a Bible study on that. That's exactly what happened to the
-
disciples when they were trying to deliver this boy. They figured out that,
-
hey, this is outside of our domain. We can undo this. This
-
is exactly what was being talked about here. Okay, made itself pretty clear.
-
You said. The remnant there in the province who survived, okay,
-
are in great distress and reproached. The wall of Jerusalem was broken down and
-
the gates are burned with fire. Nothing these people can do about it.
-
So at that point you have to petition heaven, and you do so by
-
prayer and fasting. Pretty easy. It's not hard. When you just take
-
those words and look at them in the Hellenica, they will take you where
-
you need to go. It's pretty easy. So, I mean, you
-
know that Daniel did this right. So Daniel chapter nine, verse three.
-
Can you find that for us? Jenny, Daniel chapter nine, verse three
-
or maybe verse four. I think it's verse three. And after you read
-
that, we will take uh, we'll talk to Jamie. I guess she
-
wants to talk about something else. Did you find it yet, Jenny,
-
Yes, yep. So I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek
-
him by prayer and pleading, with fasting, seth sadcloth and read the next
-
verse. I prayed to the Lord, my God, and confessed and said,
-
Oh, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant
-
and faithfulness for those who love him and keep his commandments. We have sinned.
-
We have done wrong and acted wickedly, and rebelled, even turning aside
-
from your commandments and ordinances. Moreover, we have not listened to your servants,
-
the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders,
-
our fathers, and all the people of the land. That's enough.
-
You realize he's doing exactly what Nehemiah had done. Right. Yes, he
-
added some things, but he said the exact same reasons. So, ladies
-
and gentlemen, when you're in the covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ, you
-
are in Israel. Israel is not the israelis great big difference. Romans chapters
-
nine through eleven defines for you what Israel is. I don't care what the
-
dispensational let's say they're liars. I mean, you basically get three things from
-
the dispensation less you get three lives. Zionism. Yeah, that's where it
-
comes from. The pre tribulation, rapture you get that from them, and
-
dispensationalism you get that from them. That's three lies. So anyway, this
-
is making itself pretty clear. If you run into an obstacle, something is
-
terribly wrong and you need to petition heaven. And when you petition heaven,
-
both Neemiah and Daniel both agree you must do so with prayer and fasting.
-
Now that probably makes a lot of people upset, right, take note this
-
aspect is also and Psalm thirty five. Now that right, there is what
-
twenty eight twenty nine verses. It's pretty lengthy, but there it is.
-
And guess what David does because this is a psalm of David. Right,
-
read for me verse thirteen of Psalm thirty five, Jenny, go to Psalm
-
thirty five, verse thirteen, because this is how David does it too,
-
Psalm thirty five thirteen. But as for me, when they were sick,
-
my clothing was sackcloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, but my prayer
-
capture turning to me. This is how you do it, how David does
-
it. That's how it's done. You do it with prayer and fasting.
-
You do it with prayer and fasting. All right, Jamie, did you
-
have a question or comment? No, sir, really, will you have
-
your hand raised? I forget that was that was earlier, So there it
-
is, okay, okay, all right, all right, so there you
-
have it. Anything any other questions you got, Sherry, Well, let
-
me ask you this first, Sherry, did I answer your question? Yes?
-
So? Uh so this is the fast that is pleasing to him essentially,
-
then this prayer and fasting absolutely okay, but you're trying to I never
-
put that together like that before, but I get it now. I just
-
wanted clarity on it. Okay, all right, well, but you just
-
phrase that kind of strangely. You said this was the type of prayer that
-
was pleasing to God when you fasted with it. You said that strangely to
-
me, this is the kind of prayer that's pleasing. Well, the fast,
-
the fast, it's pleasing. Okay, all right, all right,
-
that's yes, it's it's it's the fast accompanied with the prayer that'll get your
-
petition hurt. That's what this is saying overtly, so so yeah, that's
-
overtly so that that's what it's saying. All right, anything else we need
-
to discuss any other questions as far as as far as like call it casting
-
out demons, like are we are we all capable? Can you? It's
-
impossible to cast out like on yourself correctly. I mean, I know you
-
can praying fast and cleanse somewhat, but I mean you and I've had discussions
-
where I definitely needed to be relieved at that and it was something I couldn't
-
take care of myself, Like is that the second witness or the power of
-
two or whatever. Is that importance? Like, it's not every single person?
-
Is that not their gift? Well, let's go back to Matthew.
-
Okay, because it said something, and I guess I was expecting you to
-
catch it. But let me flip back over there real quick. I'm sorry
-
that I let everybody down, but I was just assuming that everybody heard what
-
it said. Okay, let me go back up here. It says verse
-
nineteen, then the disciples, the disciples, thank noe. It says the
-
same thing in the verse before it, the man says, so I brought
-
him to your disciples. There is no singular part in this process, Jamie.
-
It was there in the text. It was embedded in the text,
-
and I just failed to bring it up to you. This always needs to
-
be done with the witness. Yes, So you don't ever need to act
-
upon any thing like this and engage it independently. That's not supposed to be
-
done. You are a body, Jamie. You're just a part of a
-
body. It's the body that has the power to engage these entities, not
-
individuals. So in two verses and these texts, it was made perfectly clear
-
that it was disciples that was engaging. Whether they were successful or not was
-
irrelevant. It was never a disciple that tried to do this to this man's
-
son. And Jesus was very clear he didn't tell a disciple. You see,
-
you never figured out which disciple did this because the disciples had been sent
-
out to by two. Correct, So you should know and understand that's why
-
Jesus didn't tell a disciple this can call it only come out by prayer and
-
fasting. He told the disciples it's embedded in the text. This is not
-
to be done independently or you will fail. So yes, does it matter
-
who in the body is having a problem or if this problem is outside the
-
body, It is the body and the body alone that can aged these entities
-
and not a body part. Okay, so yes, that's that's the foundation
-
of this this story here, that it was the disciples corporately failing. They
-
were failing, and Jesus told them why you were not corporately as a body
-
of disciples praying and fasting, or you would have been able to deliver this
-
boy, not from epilepsy, but from this demon. Okay, uh,
-
good, good, good thing to bring up jamis a very good thing to
-
bring up any other questions before we close out, and don't have to be
-
about demons any anything you want to ask me about before we get off.
-
No going once, going twice, going through talks. Hey, Jennifer,
-
can you come pray us out of here? Please? Dear God, thank
-
you for this day. Lord. Thank you for all the mothers that you
-

-

-
this time to study together. Lord. Thank you so much for allowing us
-
