  1. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is

  2. inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

  3. subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption

  4. Draweth Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. I'm

  5. your host Matthew. Tonight, we're doing a fellowship and we're going to start

  6. out the fellowship with some questions that Jennifer has concerning a situation that is going

  7. on in her church. So, Jenny, come on and what's the questions

  8. that are arising at your church? Hi? Everybody. Essentially I'm boiling it

  9. down, but we're trying to clarify in regards to demons. They obviously are

  10. the remnant of I have always assumed they were the remnant leftover from the giants,

  11. and we were looking for clarity on whether they were these whether these demons

  12. were the spirits of these giants, or what exactly they are, if that

  13. makes any sense. If they were spirits that like we we each have,

  14. Like you said, Matthew, Soma, Psyche and Numa, is that how

  15. they were built the same way? Or you know, what's their build what's

  16. their makeup? What is this demon that's leftover? Does that make sense?

  17. Yes, it makes sense. So the first thing we need to look at

  18. is you are saying that these demons. Now you're saying this by assumption.

  19. You're saying that these demons have spirits, and that they have spirits because of

  20. the joining of the angelic race and the human race. Correct, Yes,

  21. I guess that was what I had presumed. Okay, Well, the Bible

  22. tells us emphatically that they send against all flesh. Genesis comes right out and

  23. says this, that all flesh was corrupted, all flesh was corrupted. So

  24. you have to realize that this crosses another bridge. This means that they also

  25. send against the animals. Now, this takes you into a different field.

  26. So let me ask you this, So, do animals have spirits? I

  27. cannot provide a lot of clarity on that, but I really think there is

  28. a lot of data about it biblically that I have not studied, just just

  29. due to the nature of not ever being a huge press for me to know

  30. that. Well, let's do this. Let's pause for a minute. Let's

  31. go back through the event in question. So you're stating that somewhere in the

  32. Bible that these giants are talked about. Where is that at Well, the

  33. specific chapter that we had been referencing was Genesis six, but obviously we know

  34. that giants are mentioned a multitude of times throughout the Old Testament. All right,

  35. all right, do you have that scripture available in the new in the

  36. new King James version. I do not have a new King James Bible.

  37. Okay, Well, everybody, just so you know, this ministry has officially

  38. switched over to the New King James version. Why because it holds to the

  39. Adiddo Regia manuscript. What's that? Many of you years too, if you're

  40. a novus in studying the Bible, you think that the Greek manuscript is the

  41. Texas Receptist. No, the Texas Receptist is a category of manuscripts. The

  42. manuscript that was certified by the entire planet, all preachers, all Christians,

  43. all clergy at the time, all ratified the Adido Regia manuscript. What's that?

  44. That is? This? That is the stuff honest New Testament from fifteen

  45. fifty. How can I approve that? Unequivocably with you right now? In

  46. a court of law, we could prove this is the case, because your

  47. Bible, no matter which Bible you have, have the chapters and verses that

  48. came from Stephanis's Aditto Regia. The New King James version holds to that save

  49. a single instance. That's Luke, chapter seventeen, verse thirty six. Why

  50. is it in there and it shouldn't be. You need to take a pencil

  51. and after you've bought a New King James version, mark out that verse Luke

  52. seventeen thirty six. It's not there. That was added by the publisher because

  53. in the fifteen fifty four fourth edition of the Addo Regia, Stephanis put that

  54. in a footnote. He did not put it in the text. He put

  55. it in a footnote. So the translators included it in the actual Adido Regia,

  56. which are in the actual New King James version, which it should have

  57. not have been. So that being the case, we're just going to whip

  58. on over to Genesis chapter six and my brand spanking new Walmart New King James

  59. version, they have them there. I've looked at three Walmart's in three different

  60. cities, and they all had this exact Bible in my hand for seventeen dollars.

  61. I also got the super giant print, which was twenty four dollars,

  62. so anyway, very cheap you need to get one. We'll start from the

  63. top because what I mentioned is here. It's just that everybody likes to stick

  64. to those first top verses. They never get to verse twelve, they never

  65. get that far. So now game coapass. When men began to multiply on

  66. the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the

  67. sons of God. God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful,

  68. and they took wives for themselves, all of whom they choose. And

  69. the Lord said, my spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he

  70. is indeed flesh. Yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.

  71. There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when

  72. the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to

  73. them, those were the mighty men who were of old, the men of

  74. renown. Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the

  75. earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil

  76. continually, And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth

  77. and he was grieved in his heart. So the Lord said, I will

  78. destroy man whom I have made. I'm sorry whom I have created from the

  79. face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing, and birds

  80. of the air. For I am sorry that I've made them. But Noah

  81. found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Now this is the genealogy of

  82. Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked

  83. with God, and Noah begat three sons, Shamham and Jacob. The earth

  84. was also corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence, so

  85. that God looked upon the earth, indeed it was corerupt. Indeed it was

  86. corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth period at the

  87. end of that sentence, So first and foremost, this tells us that yes,

  88. their first sin was against man. These but neha Alahim and the Hebrew

  89. make no mistakes, that's angels. Every time this phrase is used, and

  90. the Bible is directly linked to angels. That can be no one else.

  91. They first corrupted the angels. But as you could see, by the time

  92. God decided to make this judgment, that was very clear. The entire Earth

  93. had been twisted by the full So you're absolutely correct in saying that, yes,

  94. they came, they began with humans, and it created mythology. And

  95. the Bible just came out and told you, whether you're like it or not,

  96. the mythologies on this planet are real. I mean, we all know

  97. from Greek mythology to tell about Hercules, correct, Jennifer, That's exactly what

  98. Hercules was. That's what he was. It just said that. This text

  99. called him a giant, he was a man of renown. He was literally

  100. pass son of God and half daughter of man. That's what he was.

  101. This clearly just said that. There's no debating that. That's what it said.

  102. This is why and other scriptures it literally comes out and dead bags this.

  103. I mean, look at the said Kouage it. It'll tell you in

  104. more than one place, comes right out and tells you they were satyrs.

  105. What is a satyr? Jennifer, do you know what to be goat half

  106. gosh man, half goat half man? Right, No, no it's not

  107. no, it's half goat half angel. Oh yeah yeah, okay, I

  108. was thinking of them. What the body looked like? Okay, yes,

  109. yes, the body is what you would think looks like a man, but

  110. it's not. It's an angel. So this is where we really have to

  111. go to bat with ourselves. This is why you have these strange instances of

  112. the New Testament that someone will get possessed by a demon and this demon will

  113. try to throw them in the fire or try to throw them in water,

  114. and they can't speak. And of course this created a real conundrum with the

  115. apostles because they're like, you know, we can't throw this thing out.

  116. Why not? It doesn't understand what we're saying, because it was never I

  117. mean, let's talk about a goat. Is a goat going to understand your

  118. commands to it? Let's talk more importantly, let's talk about a fish.

  119. Let's really talk about a fish. And we can go back to mythology to

  120. Dagon. Right, you know that Dagon is in the Bible, Right,

  121. Dagon was worshiped by those countries along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Let's

  122. talk about that. So if an angel had corrupted the kingdom of fish,

  123. did it even have vocal cords? Jennifer, No, I would not.

  124. Okay, tell me something of maximum importance. Okay, maximum importance, and

  125. a cat per Yes, okay, and a lion, per I don't honestly

  126. know, but I would assume yes, No, they can't. No,

  127. they can't. Okay, they do not have those special cords in their vocal

  128. courts. Okay, so let's talk about a fish. Does a fish have

  129. any vocal cords, not that I'm aware of? None? Why? Because

  130. they do not breathe air? Correct? Right now? We all know that

  131. corpuses they got vocal cords, right, I don't know. Yes, you

  132. know that they can squeal. They can Okay, this is why they can

  133. be trained. Okay, because they they don't, you know, need gills.

  134. They actually breathe, they have blowholes, right, they actually have vocal

  135. cords. But fish do not. Fish have fins, They have no vocal

  136. cords. So how would a fish, ever, how would it ever have

  137. the capacity for a verbal language? Okay, more importantly, and a fish

  138. here, you and I don't think so? I mean I don't know how,

  139. Yeah, I don't think so. No vibrations, I mean I don't

  140. know anyway. Do they have ear drums? No? No, so they

  141. can't hear. Okay, you are correct. Being an aquatic animal, there

  142. scales are most tuned to very particular vibrations and very very slight vibrations in the

  143. water. However, they do not have ear drums. Okay, So if

  144. you're dealing with the spirit, that's half angelic, which had no body.

  145. Right now, that's not to say that an angel does not have intelligence,

  146. but an angel does not have a body ascribed to it. The Bible says,

  147. most particularly that they are flames of fire. And let me ask you

  148. that. So, Jennifer, has the physicists, have the scientists figure out

  149. what a flame is? Yet? Do they have all that math worked out?

  150. I don't have any friends that are physicists, but I'm going to assume

  151. since you're asking that they don't. No, they don't, okay, because

  152. what is a flame? It's not an element, it's a chemical reaction.

  153. Now, but the problem is that even with an alcohol fire, you can't

  154. see it. Right. A flame defies gravity? What else defies gravity?

  155. Come on? Now? Does a gas? Does it have to adhere to

  156. the laws of gravity? Hydrogen and helium, Yes, they have to.

  157. They have to obey the laws of gravity, right, A flame does not.

  158. Okay, So that puts you into another realm. Does nothing? When

  159. you realize that an angel the Bible says is a flame of fire, so

  160. seees how physicists can't really tell you what a fire is. They can only

  161. tell you that fire is independent that everything else. That's all they can do.

  162. That's all they can do. The only thing they can tell you is

  163. that it's not a solid, it's not a gas. You see solids and

  164. gases and liquids. They must obey the little gravity. It is the flame

  165. and the flame alone that does not it doesn't have weight. Does it riddle

  166. me this? How dense is a flame? Jennifer, I'm feeling like a

  167. real failure at science here right now. No, you don't have to fail.

  168. Your feel like a failure. It's just you're not expecting me to ask

  169. these questions because you needed the answers as to where giants come from, and

  170. your mind was targeting a specific thing, and that was okay, It was

  171. okay. But we have to lay groundwork here, and we have to prove

  172. why the Bible says what it says. And it's just not the daughters of

  173. man that they corrupted. That passes of scripture clearly says all flesh was corrupted.

  174. So we need to figure out what these spirits are We get very quickly

  175. that these numas are half human and humans have spirits, right, right,

  176. So that makes things that's a starting point. Now the next thing we need

  177. to do. Do animals have spirits? Let me just ask you that where's

  178. the chapter and verse that says animals have spirits? Like I said, I

  179. don't. I have not studied on this topic, so I cannot elaborate on

  180. it at all. Okay, well, that's a good thing for you that

  181. I don't know too much on the Bible that I can't elaborate on. So

  182. let me just whip over a real quick I'm sorry everybody I know get through

  183. cumbersome when you have a paper Bible. But anyway, Ecclesiastes, chapter three,

  184. and of course verse twenty one, it's very clear and people, actually

  185. we've talked about this before, I believe. Anyway, let's start in let's

  186. see verse nineteen, or maybe verse eighteen. Yeah, let's start in verse

  187. eighteen. I said, in my heart concerning the condition of the sons of

  188. men, God tests them that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

  189. What I'm pretty sure God just insulted us. Anyway, Verse nineteen for

  190. what happens to the sons of men? Now, take no, ladies and

  191. gentlemen, you're supposed to be familiar with the Bible, God's Holy Word.

  192. Why does he keep using that phraseology is coming straight from the from Genesis chapter

  193. six, right, I kept saying the doctors of men? Right, So

  194. just you need to latch onto that. What happens to the sons of men

  195. also happens to the animals. One thing befalls them. As one dies,

  196. so dies the other. Surely they all have one breath, high ass Greek

  197. numa. Man has no advantage over the animals, for all his vanity,

  198. all go one place, all are from dust and return to dust. Who

  199. knows that the spirit of the sons of men which goes upward, and the

  200. spirit of an animal which goes down to the earth. I'm sorry, did

  201. nobody ever read Ecclesiastes? I mean, I could keep going here and it

  202. says a whole lot of other stuff. But anyway, yeah, yeah,

  203. the Lord, the Lord is probably pushing me a little too hard Verse twenty

  204. two. So I have perceived that nothing is better than that a man should

  205. rejoice in his own works, and that in his heritage. For who can

  206. bring him to see what will happen after him. You see this stanza here,

  207. verses eighteen through twenty two of ECCLESIASIDS. Chapter three is pure prophecy built

  208. upon Gen. Six. So we've laid the foundation that you've spoken incorrectly,

  209. Jennifer. I appreciate that you put in I appreciate that you put in there

  210. with giants, but you you're immediately forgetting more than half of that stanza in

  211. Gen six, it's twelve verses long, not four. So these spirits spirits

  212. are angelic in origin. They're angelic spirits that was produced by the sons of

  213. men and also everything on this planet. This is where Greek mythology gets Kaimeris

  214. from. Is the verses I just read to you. That's where they come

  215. from. So this is where you get. Of course, in the epilogent

  216. literally comes right out and says in one verse, oh, no, cenataurs,

  217. what's that? It's half donkey, half angel, not half man.

  218. I know you've been taught, and I know what the entertainment industry has done

  219. to you, Okay, I know that the Percy Jackson series is real big

  220. right. Also a clash of the Titans is real big right, But no,

  221. those creatures that you see that are half animal and half what you think

  222. is human, it's not. They're half angel. That's what the Bible is

  223. saying. So obviously the Bible is saying that, yes, yes, spirit,

  224. animals do have spirits. So that's what's being produced here. So now

  225. we need to take a deep breath here and say, okay, so how

  226. can we prove right, how can we prove that that's what we're dealing with

  227. here? And by the way, yes, if you look in a subcu

  228. agent, yes, if you look in the Hebrew there inclus yes, these

  229. chapter three, Yes, it's numa in Greek, just so you know.

  230. And yes, the accompanying counter word in Hebrew is used in those texts.

  231. So yes, animals, yes they do, they have spirits. So let's

  232. jump over to Matthew chapter eight and verse six. Me. Sorry, ladies

  233. and gentlemen, Matthew, Hey, that's what I was named after. Amen

  234. huge chapter eight and verse six, for I remember let's see here, oh

  235. maybe after it further down sixteen yeah, sixteen, Sorry, I was remembering

  236. six's after sixteen when evening had come, they brought to him many who were

  237. demon possessed, and he cast out the spirits yet in Greek that's numa with

  238. a word, and healed all who were sick that it might be fulfilled,

  239. which is spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying he himself took our infirmities and bore

  240. our sickness. So, yes, these things are spirits, they're numas,

  241. and those numas are produced by both people and animals of every varying text.

  242. It's just very important that remember that Genesis chapter six. You have to read

  243. the entire stanza. It's twelve verses, and at the end of that stanza

  244. it says very carefully, the end of that stanza, it's very clear that

  245. everything was corrupted. Let's see here verse twelve. So God looked upon the

  246. earth, and indeed it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way

  247. on the earth. So it starts out with people and it goes on until

  248. this abomination. I defiled every single species on this planet. So does that

  249. answer your question, Jennifer? Are there any questions other? Yes? That

  250. was thank you. So why is this coming up in your church? They're

  251. just generally talking about it. This is a normal lesson that they're doing or

  252. this is a special instance or situation. They've started talking about this now for

  253. a little bit, so it's an ongoing for No. I don't know,

  254. maybe four or five months now. So I was just trying to be as

  255. beneficial and helping with that the teaching or the understandings as they could be.

  256. So that's that's where we were at right now. Okay, all right,

  257. Well, that solid grand to stand on if you want to go further than

  258. that. The majority of this information is taken by that book that is quoted

  259. in the New Testament, the Book of Enoch, which Aaron my Son has

  260. translated and keyed to strongs. So you can actually take a look at that

  261. line up the Greek words that I just gave you and find them right there

  262. in the Book of Enoch because he has keyed the Arkman fragments two strongs.

  263. So, uh, Sherry, what's your thoughts on this topic? Because you

  264. said that you know you was curious about this topic too, So what's your

  265. thought. Had anybody laid that down for you that the Bible emphatically says that,

  266. yes, yes, the animals have spirits. Let's talk about that part.

  267. No. I thought it was interesting, of course, immediately when I'm

  268. hearing about the angel fish thing, and I'm thinking, oh, yeah,

  269. Merman, so that's where all this stuff comes from, you know what I

  270. mean. Oh, I had not heard a lot of this before, and

  271. I was I was glad we were talking about this because I learned a lot.

  272. I mean, I'd always thought that I understood DENNISIX six and I and

  273. I did only part of it. So this was good, good, good

  274. new. You know, this is a pretty fringe topic, right, and

  275. a lot of churches do not talk about it. That's that's for sure.

  276. You know. Let's let's go ahead and read this instance from Matthew chapter seventeen.

  277. Let me grab my Bible brand speaking new. I don't have any marks

  278. in it at all. I've not outlined anything in it. I can't wait

  279. to start back from zero for okay. Matthew chapter seventeen, verse fourteen.

  280. When they had come to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling

  281. down to him and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for

  282. he is an epileptic and suffers severely, for he often falls into the fire

  283. and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples. But

  284. they could not cure him. Then Jesus had answered it said, oh,

  285. faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long

  286. shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me? And Jesus rebuked

  287. the demon, and it came out of him, and the child was cured.

  288. From that very hour, when the disciples came to Jesus privately and said,

  289. why could we not cast it out? So Jesus said to them,

  290. because of your unbelief. For assuredly I say to you, and if you

  291. have the faith of a mustard seed, and say to this mountain, move

  292. from here to there, it will move, and nothing will be impossible for

  293. you. However, this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.

  294. And I already explain to you why. And take note, because this

  295. demonac had not said anything crazy. This Greek here is very clear. The

  296. dad did not know he was possessed. Did he sharey? Apparently not,

  297. he said he told I. Imagine walking up to God the son and saying,

  298. hey, my son is an epileptic. He's he's sick, come healing.

  299. And Jesus must have been thinking, no, no, he's not sick.

  300. Ladies and gentlemen, This boy's not sick, he's possessed by an unclean

  301. spirit that does not have the ability to communicate vocally. Let's just use one

  302. from Greek mythology, right, So, Erry, you know a little bit

  303. about Greek mythology, right, what's the kraken? What is that? Actually?

  304. I'm not very well versed in that. Probably Jamie could answer that more

  305. than me. Okay, Jamie, what's a kraken? A giant seabeast ocopus

  306. type? It has been it's bingos, thank you, Jamie. Yeah,

  307. So what would happen if an angel erupted an octopus? What would happen?

  308. Okay? It would just rage without any kind of reason. It couldn't reason

  309. with it. That's right. It would rage without reason. Jamie put that

  310. perfectly. It would rage without reason. That's exactly what this boy was doing.

  311. He was raging without reason. So they have to use the serpent in

  312. the garden. I mean, they use what they got to use, right,

  313. Yes, they use what they have to use exactly. So take note,

  314. ladies and gentlemen, that this is why Jesus gave authority to the spirits.

  315. Right, he had already an authority to them, and they should have

  316. been able to cast this out. But Jesus most symphatically says, however,

  317. this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting, because you have

  318. to ask. You have to pray for God to intervene. Because this thing

  319. can't understand you. What makes you think it could under Let me say it

  320. again. Does an octopus have vocal cords, ladies and gentlemen. Does it

  321. have an ear drum? Look, it has no conceptual way to understand you,

  322. rebuking it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's body.

  323. Its body never had an ear drum. So if it has taken possession of

  324. a person, and this person has ear drums, it is relaying information from

  325. the soma. That's the Greek word for body. Remember the brain, that's

  326. an organ. The ear drum, that's an organ. This entity, this

  327. numa, it has a psyche, and its psyche is not compatible with the

  328. human brain. It's not compatible. It's not just that it's not the right

  329. size, ladies and gentlemen. The neurons in the brain of an octopus is

  330. not polarized correctly. They're not set up correctly to interpret human thought. You

  331. can yell and scream at an entity that is half angelic and half octopus,

  332. and it's not going to do you any good. Going to have to send

  333. up the request Jacob's latter. This is the whole reason why the New Testament

  334. loudly states that Jacob's Latter is now placed upon the shoulders of the Lord Jesus

  335. Christ, and now they have to ascend and descend via that conduit, via

  336. that authority, which is above all authorities. So you have to send a

  337. request up Jacob's ladder. God has to reply and send down that request via

  338. Jacob's latter. And that's how the problem's dealt with, because commanding it is

  339. not going to do you any good. It never had that capacity. Now

  340. there are many animals that do have these capacities. Take notes. Let me

  341. talk to Jinny again. So, Jenny, how effective is the species German

  342. shepherd on this planet? How successful is that breed of dog successful? In

  343. what way? That's what I'm asking you. If it is successful, how

  344. is it successful? I'd never had one. I would assume they're very good

  345. at multitude of things. I think my dad may have had one when he

  346. was in the army as a dog that he took out to like sniff out

  347. for looking for things hidden in the ground. Okay, that's a good that's

  348. a good way. That's a good way to breed up. So what other

  349. type of breed is used by the military. I'll tell you none. When

  350. it comes to the United States military, they just get German shepherds. Have

  351. you ever seen a poodle in use by the United States Army? I have

  352. not. You have not, nor will you. Let's talk about the police.

  353. Okay, so what dog of breed does the police use? I do

  354. not know. German shepherd the same thing. Okay, yeah, same thing,

  355. same thing, because they are highly effective in training, and they are

  356. incredibly smart. Right, yes, so they in of themselves have all the

  357. hardware with which to interpret vocal commands, right, right, and not just

  358. vocal commands vocal stimuli. Now, why did I say that vocal stimuli?

  359. Well, how does a dog react to other dogs? Barkie? They usually

  360. join, That's right, My point being it was kind of a tricksy question.

  361. They react to other dogs barking, don't they. They also can communicate

  362. to other animals via barking, an't they? So, yes, this is

  363. proof in the pudding. They have all the soma, all the body parts

  364. required to interpret vocalization and respond to it. You see, you have to

  365. have the hardware first, and then the software in that brain must also be

  366. able to interpret and produce reactions. So ear drums is not enough and the

  367. brain is not enough. They have to be figured correctly. That could be

  368. configured correctly. So if you're dealing with a demon, all demons are angelic

  369. in their origin, right, Quit thinking that they're half man. They're not.

  370. They're half angel. So if you run into an entity that is angelic

  371. in origin and German shepherd in origin, that one you will be able to

  372. command because that that that abomination has the hardware to interpret and react and respond

  373. to vocalization. Now there's many animals on this planet that can respond to vocalization,

  374. but they cannot react to it. That is to say, not every

  375. animal that has vocal horrors and ear drums can be trained. Everyone who works

  376. in a zoo can tell you this. So this is what is being relayed

  377. to in the Bible, God's Holy Word. In more waste than one tonight,

  378. I just decided to do the Greek, but we very well could have

  379. done the Hebrew. It would have basically said basically would have said the same

  380. thing in the Hebraica as the Hellenica. What's the Hellenica? The Hellenica is

  381. the complete Greek Bible. The complete Greek Bible is a septuagen Old Testament coupled

  382. with the Edicto Regia New Testament. The Hebraica is the Old Testament maseratic texts

  383. combined with delitch New Testament. Very easy to prove. We just proved this

  384. in the Devil and Satan fellowship that we did right, Very easy to prove.

  385. If you have the wherewithal to no Hebrew and have the wherewithal of no

  386. Greek, you can plainly prove that the Hebraic aligns up perfectly with the Helenica.

  387. So any other questions about demons or unclean spirits or whatever else you want

  388. to call them, any other questions about them. I did have a question,

  389. not so much about the well, I guess it sort of is the

  390. prayer and fasting to get these certain ones out. I understand the prairie quest.

  391. I don't understand the fasting. Is that is that something part of your

  392. life that should be that you're fasted up at all times? You know you

  393. fast so many days a week or and you see this, you begin to

  394. assass and send your prayers. I mean, why the fasting with the prayer?

  395. Let's ask Jenny, Jenny, what's what's your thoughts? Why do you

  396. think it's a combination of the two. I don't know. The first thing

  397. came to mind was two witnesses. But that's that's that's what I thought.

  398. But I don't know. Well, that's that's actually pretty good. That's uh,

  399. that's that's obviously pretty good. So so does anybody know where these two

  400. words come together in the sub trojan? No? No, I'm sorry,

  401. did you say no, misir? I don't. I don't know. Well,

  402. gamy, that's probably why you don't know. Okay, Let's go to

  403. Namayah chapter one, verse four. Matter fact, let's go to just Neamiyah

  404. chapter one. Okay, So who wants to read it for me? Somebody?

  405. Come on, it's not hard to find Neamiyah's inn the Old Testament before

  406. songs. I just don't have a new king, James, But that's okay,

  407. that's okay. Read what you have, okay? And he said,

  408. what what? Chapter and chapter one? Chapter one? Mh yeah, chapter

  409. one verse what? Just read I think you'll hear it. Okay, the

  410. words of Niamayah, the son of heck Elaiah. Now it happened in the

  411. month ki his Love, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa,

  412. the capital that Hannanayah, one of my brothers, and some men from

  413. Judah came and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped and had survived

  414. the captivity, and about Jerusalem. And they said to me, the remnant

  415. there and the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and disgrace.

  416. And the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned

  417. with fire. Now, when I heard these words, I sat down and

  418. wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the God

  419. of Heaven. I said, Please, Lord, God of Heaven, the

  420. great and awesome God who keeps the covenant and faithfulness for those who love him

  421. and keep his commandments. Let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open

  422. to hear the prayer of your servant, which I am praying before you now

  423. day and night on. Behalf of the sons of Israel, your servants,

  424. confessing the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have committed against you.

  425. I and my father's house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against

  426. you. And I have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor

  427. the ordinances. What you commanded your servant Moses. Remember, please the word

  428. what you commanded your servant Moses, saying, if you are unfaithful, I

  429. will scatter you among the peoples. But if you return to me and keep

  430. my commandments and do them. Though those of you who have been scattered were

  431. in the most remote parts of the heavens, I will gather them from where

  432. and bring them to the place where I have chosen to have my name dwell.

  433. They are your servants and your people, whom you're redeemed by your great

  434. power and by your strong hand. Please, Lord, may your ear be

  435. attentive to the prayer of your servant and the prayer of your servants who delight

  436. to revere your name. And please make your servants successful today, and grant

  437. him mercy before this man, Now I was the cup bear to the king.

  438. End of chapter one. You didn't have to read that far, but

  439. it made it very clear as to why a prayer and fast should be coupled

  440. together. And yes, here in the Hellenica, just like you thought.

  441. Okay, just exactly what that verse said over there in Matthew. That's what

  442. these Greek words are. That's G. Three thirty six. And of course

  443. the company were there for praying. Just look it up. You need to

  444. write these things down and look it up for yourself. I won't give you

  445. the word for praying because you need to do that for yourself. So you

  446. see that when there's a major catastrope, it takes prayer and fasting to petition

  447. heaven. It made itself pretty clear, right, yeah, yes, definitely,

  448. And this word said, I beseech you, we could do it.

  449. We could do a Bible study on that. That's exactly what happened to the

  450. disciples when they were trying to deliver this boy. They figured out that,

  451. hey, this is outside of our domain. We can undo this. This

  452. is exactly what was being talked about here. Okay, made itself pretty clear.

  453. You said. The remnant there in the province who survived, okay,

  454. are in great distress and reproached. The wall of Jerusalem was broken down and

  455. the gates are burned with fire. Nothing these people can do about it.

  456. So at that point you have to petition heaven, and you do so by

  457. prayer and fasting. Pretty easy. It's not hard. When you just take

  458. those words and look at them in the Hellenica, they will take you where

  459. you need to go. It's pretty easy. So, I mean, you

  460. know that Daniel did this right. So Daniel chapter nine, verse three.

  461. Can you find that for us? Jenny, Daniel chapter nine, verse three

  462. or maybe verse four. I think it's verse three. And after you read

  463. that, we will take uh, we'll talk to Jamie. I guess she

  464. wants to talk about something else. Did you find it yet, Jenny,

  465. Yes, yep. So I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek

  466. him by prayer and pleading, with fasting, seth sadcloth and read the next

  467. verse. I prayed to the Lord, my God, and confessed and said,

  468. Oh, Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant

  469. and faithfulness for those who love him and keep his commandments. We have sinned.

  470. We have done wrong and acted wickedly, and rebelled, even turning aside

  471. from your commandments and ordinances. Moreover, we have not listened to your servants,

  472. the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders,

  473. our fathers, and all the people of the land. That's enough.

  474. You realize he's doing exactly what Nehemiah had done. Right. Yes, he

  475. added some things, but he said the exact same reasons. So, ladies

  476. and gentlemen, when you're in the covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ, you

  477. are in Israel. Israel is not the israelis great big difference. Romans chapters

  478. nine through eleven defines for you what Israel is. I don't care what the

  479. dispensational let's say they're liars. I mean, you basically get three things from

  480. the dispensation less you get three lives. Zionism. Yeah, that's where it

  481. comes from. The pre tribulation, rapture you get that from them, and

  482. dispensationalism you get that from them. That's three lies. So anyway, this

  483. is making itself pretty clear. If you run into an obstacle, something is

  484. terribly wrong and you need to petition heaven. And when you petition heaven,

  485. both Neemiah and Daniel both agree you must do so with prayer and fasting.

  486. Now that probably makes a lot of people upset, right, take note this

  487. aspect is also and Psalm thirty five. Now that right, there is what

  488. twenty eight twenty nine verses. It's pretty lengthy, but there it is.

  489. And guess what David does because this is a psalm of David. Right,

  490. read for me verse thirteen of Psalm thirty five, Jenny, go to Psalm

  491. thirty five, verse thirteen, because this is how David does it too,

  492. Psalm thirty five thirteen. But as for me, when they were sick,

  493. my clothing was sackcloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, but my prayer

  494. capture turning to me. This is how you do it, how David does

  495. it. That's how it's done. You do it with prayer and fasting.

  496. You do it with prayer and fasting. All right, Jamie, did you

  497. have a question or comment? No, sir, really, will you have

  498. your hand raised? I forget that was that was earlier, So there it

  499. is, okay, okay, all right, all right, so there you

  500. have it. Anything any other questions you got, Sherry, Well, let

  501. me ask you this first, Sherry, did I answer your question? Yes?

  502. So? Uh so this is the fast that is pleasing to him essentially,

  503. then this prayer and fasting absolutely okay, but you're trying to I never

  504. put that together like that before, but I get it now. I just

  505. wanted clarity on it. Okay, all right, well, but you just

  506. phrase that kind of strangely. You said this was the type of prayer that

  507. was pleasing to God when you fasted with it. You said that strangely to

  508. me, this is the kind of prayer that's pleasing. Well, the fast,

  509. the fast, it's pleasing. Okay, all right, all right,

  510. that's yes, it's it's it's the fast accompanied with the prayer that'll get your

  511. petition hurt. That's what this is saying overtly, so so yeah, that's

  512. overtly so that that's what it's saying. All right, anything else we need

  513. to discuss any other questions as far as as far as like call it casting

  514. out demons, like are we are we all capable? Can you? It's

  515. impossible to cast out like on yourself correctly. I mean, I know you

  516. can praying fast and cleanse somewhat, but I mean you and I've had discussions

  517. where I definitely needed to be relieved at that and it was something I couldn't

  518. take care of myself, Like is that the second witness or the power of

  519. two or whatever. Is that importance? Like, it's not every single person?

  520. Is that not their gift? Well, let's go back to Matthew.

  521. Okay, because it said something, and I guess I was expecting you to

  522. catch it. But let me flip back over there real quick. I'm sorry

  523. that I let everybody down, but I was just assuming that everybody heard what

  524. it said. Okay, let me go back up here. It says verse

  525. nineteen, then the disciples, the disciples, thank noe. It says the

  526. same thing in the verse before it, the man says, so I brought

  527. him to your disciples. There is no singular part in this process, Jamie.

  528. It was there in the text. It was embedded in the text,

  529. and I just failed to bring it up to you. This always needs to

  530. be done with the witness. Yes, So you don't ever need to act

  531. upon any thing like this and engage it independently. That's not supposed to be

  532. done. You are a body, Jamie. You're just a part of a

  533. body. It's the body that has the power to engage these entities, not

  534. individuals. So in two verses and these texts, it was made perfectly clear

  535. that it was disciples that was engaging. Whether they were successful or not was

  536. irrelevant. It was never a disciple that tried to do this to this man's

  537. son. And Jesus was very clear he didn't tell a disciple. You see,

  538. you never figured out which disciple did this because the disciples had been sent

  539. out to by two. Correct, So you should know and understand that's why

  540. Jesus didn't tell a disciple this can call it only come out by prayer and

  541. fasting. He told the disciples it's embedded in the text. This is not

  542. to be done independently or you will fail. So yes, does it matter

  543. who in the body is having a problem or if this problem is outside the

  544. body, It is the body and the body alone that can aged these entities

  545. and not a body part. Okay, so yes, that's that's the foundation

  546. of this this story here, that it was the disciples corporately failing. They

  547. were failing, and Jesus told them why you were not corporately as a body

  548. of disciples praying and fasting, or you would have been able to deliver this

  549. boy, not from epilepsy, but from this demon. Okay, uh,

  550. good, good, good thing to bring up jamis a very good thing to

  551. bring up any other questions before we close out, and don't have to be

  552. about demons any anything you want to ask me about before we get off.

  553. No going once, going twice, going through talks. Hey, Jennifer,

  554. can you come pray us out of here? Please? Dear God, thank

  555. you for this day. Lord. Thank you for all the mothers that you

  556. have put into our lives, Lord, that have raised us and taught us

  557. about your son Jesus Christ, have imprinted your word on our heart's Lord.

  558. I asked you bless them all today and that you will be merciful to them.

  559. Lord. I asked that each and every one of their children and the

  560. children that they have that they have worked with throughout their lives, Lord,

  561. that you will call them and that you will choose them, Lord, and

  562. that you will accept the mentor your sheep. Old Lord, thank you for

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

  564. the opportunity to come together. And please bless Matthew for all of his efforts

  565. and time and all of the just everything he has as he has put out

  566. here for us. Lord, Thank you again for everything. Thank you most

  567. of all for sending your son Jesus Christ. Lord in Jesus' name. Amen,

  568. Amen, and Amen. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, God
