Brother Jim: problem.

Brother Jim: So we didn't get to record on our usual time.

Brother Jim: So David and I are up here on a

Brother Jim: Monday night doing a late night

Brother Jim: edition.

Brother Jim: So. And it's a shame we're not

Brother Jim: could make an impact and help

Brother Jim: the world.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: With all their problems.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

David: Should we refer to this as Monday Night Raw?

Brother Jim: Dude. Hit it.

Brother Jim: I'll be good old Jr. Yeah, there we go.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: If you're a wrestling fan, you know what we're talking about.

Brother Jim: If not, Ah, sorry about your luck, but yeah, actually, Dave

Brother Jim: and I talked about that, trying to do, like, a little show.

Brother Jim: One of the shows here, uh, like ringside commentators, you know,

Brother Jim: or like the great John Madden and Pat Summerall, you know?

Brother Jim: Oh, can we do the clicker, David, like John Madden used to

Brother Jim: do, you know?

David: Oh yeah.

David: The little telestrator.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: But hey, it's time, my friends.

Brother Jim: It's time for Bible bibs and prayers.

Brother Jim: So go find that relaxing place to hang out.

Brother Jim: A place to clear the mind and

Brother Jim: all the distractions in the

Brother Jim: world.

Brother Jim: Better yet, while you're doing that, go grab yourself some

Brother Jim: breakfast, some lunch, and maybe a little snacky.

Brother Jim: And do not worry.

Brother Jim: Myself and David and Miss, I live here.

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Baby will not judge you with

Brother Jim: whatever you're putting in your

Brother Jim: body.

Brother Jim: Because, Lord, if you only knew what we put in our body.

Brother Jim: And it sounds like David's been

Brother Jim: putting a lot of cake in his

Brother Jim: body lately.

David: Sadly, yes.

Brother Jim: Yes. And unfortunately, my old, uh, what's the word?

Brother Jim: I want my nemesis.

Brother Jim: That cold Mountain Dew has found its way back into my life, and

Brother Jim: I'm fighting it.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: I'm trying, I'm trying, but.

Brother Jim: Yes, but no, we're not going to judge what you put in your body.

Brother Jim: Better yet, we want to know what you're doing so maybe we can get

Brother Jim: a little bite of it.

Brother Jim: But hey, friends.

Brother Jim: And saying all this, where do basketball players go when they

Brother Jim: need a uniform?

David: I don't know where.

Brother Jim: New Jersey. Bingo. Bango, baby.

Brother Jim: How about another one?

Brother Jim: David?

Brother Jim: Why don't football players wear glasses?

David: I don't know.

Brother Jim: It's a contact sport.

Brother Jim: Whoop, whoop.

Brother Jim: Oh, I think we just hit that one out of the park.

Brother Jim: Ah yes, it's double joke.

Brother Jim: Thursday introduced that one.

Brother Jim: I like that double joke Thursday, Mr. David.

Brother Jim: Yes, sir.

Brother Jim: I see you're chomping at the bit.

Brother Jim: What do you got for us?

David: Not a lot of people know that.

David: I was just awarded the most secretive person in the office.

David: Oh, yeah?

David: And I can't tell you how much that means to me.

Brother Jim: I need one to assemble.

David: Hang on.

David: Here we go.

David: Here we go.

David: Where's that?

David: Where's that?

David: Oh, here we go.

Brother Jim: Can you do the wah wah wah one?

Brother Jim: I see if you can find.

David: I'll have to get one and get it in there.

Brother Jim: Uh, too bad we couldn't set it up on the program where the

Brother Jim: listeners could either.

David: Or they probably just do it.

David: We we can hear the groans in their head.

Brother Jim: Oh, yes.

Brother Jim: The whole show might get a wah wah wah.

Brother Jim: Uh, but hey, Ida Lee, what a

Brother Jim: blessing, isn't it, baby, we

Brother Jim: need to get you to have a joke

Brother Jim: here soon.

Brother Jim: I'll work on that one.

Brother Jim: So, in saying all that.

Brother Jim: Good morning to you.

Brother Jim: Good evening, good afternoon.

Brother Jim: Wherever you are, whatever you're doing.

Brother Jim: Good morning world.

Brother Jim: Let us thank God for another

Brother Jim: beautiful day, another breath

Brother Jim: in.

Brother Jim: Oh baby.

Brother Jim: Another opportunity to grow.

Brother Jim: Welcome back to the podcast Bible Bibs and Prayer, where we

Brother Jim: start our day with gratitude.

Brother Jim: Good conversation.

Brother Jim: Oh, a lot of that and a whole lot of positive energy along

Brother Jim: with a lot of ibuprofen.

Brother Jim: So can I get an amen on that?

David: Amen?

Brother Jim: Yeah. And caffeine.

David: That's the important one there.

Brother Jim: Yes. Yeah. They're both very influential in my life.

Brother Jim: Ibuprofen and caffeine are.

Brother Jim: I'm your host brother Jim.

Brother Jim: Welcome to the show.

Brother Jim: Let's turn this in from a

Brother Jim: conversation into an experience,

Brother Jim: shall we?

Brother Jim: And if you thought that intro was good, just wait.

Brother Jim: This is where it gets even better.

Brother Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, he is a man among men.

Brother Jim: A face that only a mother could love.

Brother Jim: And she has verified that many a times.

Brother Jim: And we're going to come back to the Leinster in a moment, Dave.

Brother Jim: David on that one.

Brother Jim: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, my co-host

Brother Jim: today is someone who keeps me humble, mostly by reminding me

Brother Jim: often how often I am wrong and making sure I don't get.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry I don't go off on some tangent that gets me all wound

Brother Jim: up and say things I should not.

Brother Jim: Boy, I'm just sputtering out now.

Brother Jim: Basically, David keeps me out of

Brother Jim: trouble, is what I'm trying to

Brother Jim: say.

Brother Jim: Welcome the one.

Brother Jim: The only.

Brother Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.

Brother Jim: He is the best of the best, Mr. David Keener and plus man, my

Brother Jim: hat's even stuff.

Brother Jim: G's one of my best friends in the whole wide world.

David: Woo!

Brother Jim: Good evening.

David: Sir, my friend.

David: You know, you think I got myself my hands busy here?

David: I'm keeping track of the audio.

David: The video?

David: Trying to take care of problems simultaneously at the same time.

David: I'm trying to help my watch wife watch a TV show at home.

David: That's not playing right for some troubleshooting.

David: That too.

Brother Jim: Let's have a moment.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes yes.

Brother Jim: Dave.

David: Dave. Jack of all trades.

David: Master of none folks.

Brother Jim: Well, hopefully she doesn't hear the podcast from Tuesday about

Brother Jim: what we talked about women and how they set us up.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Does this make us look fat?

Brother Jim: Uh, good morning, my friend.

Brother Jim: How is life in Konavle?

David: It's good.

David: It's Thursday, you know, and as we always say, the weekend is

David: right around the corner.

David: I've been battling some throat stuff, so hopefully this weather

David: will stop going from eighty to forty to thirty to sixty to just

David: make up your mind, man.

Brother Jim: You know what?

Brother Jim: It's all.

David: That. What's that?

Brother Jim: Two plane tickets for you and I down to sun sand.

Brother Jim: And, you know, we could do live recording.

Brother Jim: That's how we'd write it.

David: I don't know if it solves it, but it helps.

Brother Jim: I think it would help.

David: It does help.

Brother Jim: Fresh orange juice.

Brother Jim: How about that?

Brother Jim: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: There we go.

Brother Jim: Seafood galore.

Brother Jim: You know a lot of protein.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know.

David: I have often said if I ever become.

David: I don't know how to get off on this tangent, but if.

Brother Jim: I go.

David: If I become homeless for any reason, I'm going to start

David: walking south because I would much rather be homeless in

David: Florida than homeless in Ohio.

Brother Jim: True.

David: I mean, is that not true?

Brother Jim: I, I don't know that heat, brother.

Brother Jim: That.

Brother Jim: Oh, that'd be a tough one.

David: Well, you're not going to freeze to death.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but you got alligators and snakes down there, man.

Brother Jim: They might eat you.

Brother Jim: They find you along the subway station.

David: Trying to stay away from that stuff if you can, but.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Oh, you don't have a chance up here.

Brother Jim: Geez.

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: AC on one day, and then you got the heater on the next.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Uh, big plans for the weekend.

David: Not that I have been told of yet, but, you know, we'll we'll

David: we'll see here.

David: I don't, I don't know of

David: anything, but I'm about due for

David: another mo.

David: So if the weather cooperates, we'll get out for mo number two.

Brother Jim: Yeah. I got a little bit done the other day here.

Brother Jim: Nice.

Brother Jim: Just.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: As the thunder was rolling in and I was thinking it's like a

Brother Jim: country music song here.

Brother Jim: Oh, here comes the thunder.

Brother Jim: Here comes the rain.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: How fast will this mower go to

Brother Jim: get me up there before it just

Brother Jim: soaks me.

Brother Jim: But yeah, I know, so.

Brother Jim: And I was talking with someone today.

Brother Jim: It's like, got the yard all picked up for the most part to

Brother Jim: mow of sticks and twigs, limbs.

Brother Jim: And now that came through again.

Brother Jim: Do it again.

Brother Jim: I'm gonna have a serious bonfire here real soon.

Brother Jim: And it's going to be very tempting not to throw gas.

Brother Jim: And I just seen tonight I got it three point nine nine a gallon

Brother Jim: man there, a new Philly three point nine nine a gallon.

Brother Jim: So I guess I won't be using gasoline to start the fire, so

Brother Jim: we'll have to find another.

Brother Jim: I got a lot of black powder.

Brother Jim: There we go.

Brother Jim: Maybe we could film that.

David: I'm thinking of that in my head now.

Brother Jim: But yeah.

Brother Jim: Hey, I do want to mention, uh, Friday night here at Rockford

Brother Jim: Church, actually, over at our life center, his abilities

Brother Jim: ministry is kicking off for night number two last, uh,

Brother Jim: beginning of the month.

Brother Jim: That's where the Nacho man made his appearance.

Brother Jim: Now, again, as I said Tuesday,

Brother Jim: uh, reminding I, I kind of got

Brother Jim: the wind knocked out of my sails

Brother Jim: that know nacho man for Friday

Brother Jim: night.

Brother Jim: breaking down more in the sessions this upcoming Friday.

Brother Jim: So we got that going on.

Brother Jim: grandson.

Brother Jim: Hey, preacher man.

Brother Jim: So I kind of like that.

Brother Jim: I need to get a hat that says that.

David: Of course.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Stinking suits.

Brother Jim: I don't know why did they ever say.

Brother Jim: Did I tell you.

David: Have to get about forty five

David: degrees in here to be able to

David: handle it.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Well, the other day I wore bibs there to make a point.

Brother Jim: And I tell you what, that was

Brother Jim: one of the best days of my life

Brother Jim: because I could wear my old bibs

Brother Jim: preaching.

Brother Jim: And that was pretty comfortable.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Pretty comfortable, let me tell you.

Brother Jim: Alrighty then.

Brother Jim: A week has almost come to an end, friends.

Brother Jim: And what have you done to make this past week to make a

Brother Jim: difference in God's kingdom?

Brother Jim: The weekend is almost here.

Brother Jim: Yes it is.

Brother Jim: What are you going to do?

Brother Jim: What you gonna do?

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: And it's like, it's cool though.

Brother Jim: Have you ever had one?

David: I think I have.

Brother Jim: Well, the cool thing is now they give you headphones so you can

Brother Jim: tune in to whatever kind of music you want to listen to.

Brother Jim: Okay.

Brother Jim: And I chose eighties, you know,

Brother Jim: can't go wrong with the

Brother Jim: eighties.

Brother Jim: There was only one song.

Brother Jim: I knew what is going on here, so.

Brother Jim: But, uh, I tell you what,

Brother Jim: brother, it gets a little tight

Brother Jim: in there.

Brother Jim: And especially if you're a bigger guy.

Brother Jim: Yeah, uh, your nose is just a

Brother Jim: few inches away, and it's like,

Brother Jim: be cool, be cool, close your

Brother Jim: eyes.

Brother Jim: But they do have a lot of air

Brother Jim: flowing through there, so that's

Brother Jim: nice.

David: I must not have had that because I did.

David: They put you in some kind of a machine for an EKG?

Brother Jim: Uh, EKG is usually just the.

David: I got put into something several

David: years ago with the hospital, and

David: it wasn't like it was it was not

David: that claustrophobic, but it was

David: similar.

David: So I don't know what it was.

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah, it, it now my momma,

Brother Jim: she's gotta have one and she has

Brother Jim: to get doped up for it because

Brother Jim: she can't handle the

Brother Jim: claustrophobic.

Brother Jim: So I'm definitely going to be there.

Brother Jim: Maybe I can get some video footage.

David: Yeah, there you go.

David: I'm sure she'll appreciate that.

Brother Jim: Especially coming out of it.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Uh, but hey, uh, so saddle up and let's hit the trail.

Brother Jim: That brand new weekend trail together.

Brother Jim: We got work to do.

Brother Jim: And again, let us know what you got going on.

Brother Jim: We'd love to hear from you.

Brother Jim: Kind of getting tired of asking.

Brother Jim: Asking.

Brother Jim: We're pleading.

Brother Jim: What do you want to do?

Brother Jim: Get Brother Jim down on his knees.

Brother Jim: And David, along with little Ida Lee here.

Brother Jim: Look, I tell you what.

Brother Jim: Look at this face.

Brother Jim: Look at this face.

Brother Jim: Little Ida Lee wants you to at

Brother Jim: least give us one or two

Brother Jim: comments.

Brother Jim: Wouldn't that be nice?

Brother Jim: David?

Brother Jim: Come on, you don't want to disappoint the pig.

David: I know, I know, we can do.

David: Hold that thought.

Brother Jim: All right, all right.

David: Come right.

Brother Jim: Around here.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: Please.

David: Please, we're begging you.

Brother Jim: Yes. Come on, help me.

Brother Jim: Help me.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: We just want to hear from you just once what you're going to

Brother Jim: do this weekend.

Brother Jim: What's your plans?

David: This is what you get on late night.

Brother Jim: Yeah. And no friends.

Brother Jim: We have not been drinking anything or, you know.

David: Just Coke Zero for me.

Brother Jim: Yes, well, I've been hitting a

Brother Jim: Mountain Dew, so I do have a,

Brother Jim: what do they call these a

Brother Jim: Celsius.

Brother Jim: But I'm going to pass on that tonight.

Brother Jim: So I don't want to be wired because it was two in the

Brother Jim: morning before I finally settled down last night.

Brother Jim: That's not good.

Brother Jim: No, but again, we got a new weekend coming up and, uh, man,

Brother Jim: uh, again, if you don't have a place to go for Palm Sunday, we

Brother Jim: invite you out.

Brother Jim: Rocks for church nine thirty a m

Brother Jim: and of course, Easter right

Brother Jim: here.

Brother Jim: Uh, next weekend, we've got

Brother Jim: sunrise service at seven, uh,

Brother Jim: sunrise breakfast following

Brother Jim: afterwards.

Brother Jim: And they always put on a nice little meal there.

Brother Jim: And then again, our Easter service at nine a m nine thirty

Brother Jim: a m. Excuse me.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: And we've got the best tech guy

Brother Jim: around to make sure all goes

Brother Jim: well.

Brother Jim: Really, it comes down to

Brother Jim: electricity or the power and the

Brother Jim: internet.

David: So really, who did you get?

David: Oh, yeah.

David: Uh.

Brother Jim: And never mind.

Brother Jim: Not even going to go there.

Brother Jim: All right, come on, friends, you can almost do it.

Brother Jim: You're almost there.

Brother Jim: Humor of the day.

Brother Jim: All right.

Brother Jim: Taking great pains.

Brother Jim: To be specific, the new auto shop teacher on our staff

Brother Jim: explained to three of Eighteen to three of his students that he

Brother Jim: wanted them to clean a car that was parked outside.

Brother Jim: And dude, David, this is so true.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry.

Brother Jim: He gave them two extension cords the vacuum cleaner, a bucket,

Brother Jim: rags, and the car keys.

Brother Jim: He mentioned that the car was one to be used in his class.

Brother Jim: Later he went out and discovered

Brother Jim: them sitting in the car, feet up

Brother Jim: on the dashboard, listening to

Brother Jim: the stereo.

Brother Jim: The teacher asked, why aren't you vacuuming the car?

Brother Jim: Because the extension cords wouldn't reach, was the reply,

Brother Jim: irritated, trying to keep his cool as cool, the teacher

Brother Jim: stated, that's why I gave you two extension cords.

Brother Jim: We tried.

Brother Jim: The other one a student said,

Brother Jim: but it wouldn't stretch out that

Brother Jim: far either.

Brother Jim: Picture the moment.

David: My friend's.

Brother Jim: Picture, the moments and I can see that literally happening.

David: Yep, yep.

David: I had to clean out my car for that time.

David: I was an Uber driver, but I got tired of people talking behind

David: my back, so.

Brother Jim: Woo!

Brother Jim: I can't even, uh, um, snort right now for the pig.

Brother Jim: But, uh, we need to get her her own sound clip.

David: Yes, we'll have to find it.

Brother Jim: Yes, but that was a good one, David.

Brother Jim: I like that one.

Brother Jim: All right, today's thought.

Brother Jim: When you dance with the devil, you don't get to pick the tune.

Brother Jim: Woo!

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How many of us can say that we have danced with the devil?

Brother Jim: Or maybe we continue to dance with the devil.

Brother Jim: HMM.

Brother Jim: How about it, folks?

Brother Jim: How about it, David?

Brother Jim: Time in your life you ever danced with the devil?

David: Well, yeah.

David: I mean, get a little too close to the fire and get burnt

David: sometimes, you know?

David: That's right.

David: Yeah.

David: It happens.

David: It hurts.

David: It does, it.

Brother Jim: Hurts, it hurts.

Brother Jim: Uh, yeah.

Brother Jim: And, you know, it's a very fine line sometimes, is it not?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Of being of the world, living in

Brother Jim: the world and removing yourself

Brother Jim: from the world to make sure that

Brother Jim: those cooties.

Brother Jim: Yeah, don't fleas don't get on you.

Brother Jim: And you might be saying, well,

Brother Jim: Brother Jim, what are you

Brother Jim: talking about?

Brother Jim: And I'm not talking about, uh,

Brother Jim: going to Vegas, dropping

Brother Jim: thousands of dollars that I

Brother Jim: don't have, picking up a couple

Brother Jim: honeys, you know, that kind of

Brother Jim: stuff?

Brother Jim: No, no, no, no, it's the little things.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How about anger?

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes. How about anger?

Brother Jim: How about gluttony?

Brother Jim: And Little Italy here is probably saying, yeah, save the

Brother Jim: pork, save the pork.

Brother Jim: But I mean, it's those little

Brother Jim: things, brother, that we can

Brother Jim: dance with.

Brother Jim: Music.

Brother Jim: Movies.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Like I said, we took Ellie here, uh, to a PG, PG thirteen movie,

Brother Jim: and it wasn't.

Brother Jim: There was.

Brother Jim: I don't even think there was one

Brother Jim: curse word in it, to be honest

Brother Jim: with you.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but again, you don't know

Brother Jim: what you're going to get right

Brother Jim: for sure.

Brother Jim: It could be.

Brother Jim: Are you serious?

Brother Jim: Or in this case.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: It was.

Brother Jim: I actually cried in the movie, man.

Brother Jim: I've been very emotional this week.

Brother Jim: But, uh, yeah, if you happen to watch it, it's that one where

Brother Jim: they go to the sun to save it.

Brother Jim: It's like this alien they encounter.

Brother Jim: He's this cute little rock spider named Rocky.

Brother Jim: How original.

Brother Jim: But it's like, I want to have a Rocky now.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But. Yeah. No, again, you got to be on guard, do we not?

Brother Jim: We have to be on guard because the devil can come in many

Brother Jim: disguises and many ways.

Brother Jim: And before you know it, you're two stepping with him.

Brother Jim: And sometimes that dance can last a long, long time.

Brother Jim: You ever go to a you ever go to school dances?

Brother Jim: Back in the day?

David: No, I never went to a single one.

David: I was the the guy who was too shy to ask anybody.

Brother Jim: Gotcha.

Brother Jim: I would go with a pack of the other losers.

Brother Jim: You know, the the ones that would cling to the gym wall and

Brother Jim: be afraid to walk across.

Brother Jim: But you know, when you're there dancing with a girl, like in

Brother Jim: junior high, all these things are running through your mind.

Brother Jim: I don't know, maybe you folks go back to the day two.

Brother Jim: Back if you went to a dance and that and you're wondering, you

Brother Jim: know, does she think.

Brother Jim: Does she like me?

Brother Jim: Does she this, does she that.

Brother Jim: And as soon as the dance ends,

Brother Jim: instead of continuing, like

Brother Jim: usually they do like a three

Brother Jim: round three, three songs in a

Brother Jim: row.

Brother Jim: Yeah, well.

Brother Jim: Thank you.

David: Goodbye.

David: Goodbye.

Brother Jim: Right after the first song.

Brother Jim: Uh, the devil, unfortunately,

Brother Jim: won't let us go that easy, will

Brother Jim: he?

Brother Jim: He wants to keep us just two stepping right along with him,

Brother Jim: and hopefully it turns into something even greater.

Brother Jim: But today, we're going to talk about a subject that the Bible

Brother Jim: teaches about very clearly.

Brother Jim: Who?

Brother Jim: Who is Satan?

Brother Jim: Now, if I was to walk up and ask you a hundred dollars, can you

Brother Jim: give me a clear, true definition of who Satan is?

Brother Jim: What would you tell me?

Brother Jim: HMM.

Brother Jim: Those could be some interesting answers, David.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Unfortunately, we don't have one hundred dollars to walk around

Brother Jim: and pass out.

David: The budget won't allow it.

Brother Jim: Yeah, the budget won't allow it.

Brother Jim: And, uh, what would be your answer?

Brother Jim: Who is Satan?

Brother Jim: How does Satan affect me?

Brother Jim: Is Satan real?

Brother Jim: One of the greatest.

Brother Jim: And I'm going to butcher this

Brother Jim: quote, but one of the greatest

Brother Jim: tricks ever performed by Satan

Brother Jim: was making people believe he

Brother Jim: didn't exist.

Brother Jim: Goes along with that, you know.

Brother Jim: Of course, God always gets a lot of the blame, but does Satan not

Brother Jim: get a lot of the blame too?

Brother Jim: The devil made me do it.

Brother Jim: How often have we heard that one?

Brother Jim: Really?

Brother Jim: The devil made you do it?

Brother Jim: Okay.

Brother Jim: Understanding who Satan is helps

Brother Jim: us understand the spiritual

Brother Jim: battle that Christians face

Brother Jim: every day.

Brother Jim: That mankind.

Brother Jim: Let's just say mankind faces every day.

Brother Jim: There's the spiritual battle for the Christians, but yet also for

Brother Jim: the non-Christians too.

Brother Jim: They got the same kind of battle going on because.

Brother Jim: Oh, let me back up a little bit.

Brother Jim: You ever find that if you're

Brother Jim: spiritually dead, the Satan

Brother Jim: really mess with, you know, does

Brother Jim: his demons really mess with,

Brother Jim: you.

David: Know, you're not a threat to him.

Brother Jim: You're not a threat.

Brother Jim: But if you are alive and thriving and striving for God,

Brother Jim: it seems like a lot of can pile up real quick, right?

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Spiritual battle, my friends.

Brother Jim: But let me put us back in the same category here.

Brother Jim: Christians, non-Christians, we all face struggles.

Brother Jim: We all have.

Brother Jim: And I call it life.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: I mean, you're gonna have to pay your taxes.

Brother Jim: Why are we paying three point nine nine for gas?

Brother Jim: Right?

Brother Jim: I mean, rich, poor, you got to pay for the gas.

Brother Jim: So we all have them general battles that we face, I believe.

Brother Jim: But then comes the spiritual battle.

Brother Jim: And look around, my friends, if you're a true believer in

Brother Jim: Christ, you see the spiritual battle going on because Satan

Brother Jim: knows his time is limited here on this earth.

Brother Jim: So who was this Satan?

Brother Jim: Number one, Satan was created by God.

Brother Jim: Now, I think probably a lot of people don't understand that I

Brother Jim: had a hard time.

Brother Jim: Why would God, being God, create this bum?

Brother Jim: Yeah, this piece of trash.

Brother Jim: Well, first, the Bible teaches

Brother Jim: us that Satan was not always

Brother Jim: evil.

Brother Jim: And there's the key.

Brother Jim: Satan was not always evil.

Brother Jim: He was originally created by God as an angel, beautiful angel.

Brother Jim: And he had such a power.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: A ranking there, dude.

Brother Jim: I mean, he was up there praise and worship.

Brother Jim: Now can you imagine the guy in charge or woman guy that's in

Brother Jim: charge of all the praise and worship in heaven?

Brother Jim: I mean, you're strutting your stuff, right?

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah. I mean, that is a serious title.

Brother Jim: And maybe and I believe it's more than a maybe.

Brother Jim: That's what led to the downfall because of pride.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: He was originally created by God as an angel.

Brother Jim: God created everything good.

Brother Jim: Remember that.

Brother Jim: That's why you were created.

Brother Jim: Good.

Brother Jim: You are created good.

Brother Jim: It's just the nonsense we do.

Brother Jim: Right here.

Brother Jim: Right here.

Brother Jim: Guilty as charged that we pull.

Brother Jim: We choose to walk away from God.

Brother Jim: But Satan allowed pride, as I

Brother Jim: just mentioned, to grow in his

Brother Jim: heart.

Brother Jim: In Isaiah fourteen twelve, we read about the fall of one who

Brother Jim: tried to lift himself above God.

Brother Jim: Isaiah fourteen twelve.

Brother Jim: How you are fallen from heaven,

Brother Jim: O Lucifer, son of the morning,

Brother Jim: how you are cut down to the

Brother Jim: ground.

Brother Jim: You who weakened the nations

Brother Jim: pride, led him to rebel against

Brother Jim: the Lord.

Brother Jim: Now classic case David, right throughout mankind's history.

Brother Jim: Pride.

Brother Jim: MM. From the pulpit to the guy.

Brother Jim: Cleaning horse stalls.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Does color matter of the skin for pride?

David: Nope.

Brother Jim: Nope. Does race matter?

David: Nope.

Brother Jim: Nope. Does male female matter?

David: Nope.

Brother Jim: Age matter?

David: Nope.

Brother Jim: Funny how age, though, can play, especially as you get older.

Brother Jim: Just being honest.

David: Yeah, I'm sure there's a point of diminishing return there.

David: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: But yeah.

Brother Jim: Pride led him to rebel against the Lord.

Brother Jim: He wanted to be God.

Brother Jim: And think about it.

Brother Jim: He's got all this going for him.

Brother Jim: You know, he's the top dog there in heaven, you know, and gets to

Brother Jim: see all the glory and leading the singing and this and that,

Brother Jim: and all of a sudden, well, why shouldn't I be God?

Brother Jim: MM mm.

Brother Jim: See a lot of that here in our

Brother Jim: world today and throughout

Brother Jim: history.

Brother Jim: Now, how many people thought

Brother Jim: they were God throughout

Brother Jim: history?

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: That would be a very long and

Brother Jim: I'm not going to say

Brother Jim: distinguished list there, But a

Brother Jim: very long list who man and woman

Brother Jim: felt was led to believe that

Brother Jim: they are more than just a mere

Brother Jim: mortal.

Brother Jim: They are God.

Brother Jim: That takes some serious ego, doesn't it?

Brother Jim: I mean, that takes a lot of ego.

Brother Jim: But the sad thing is how

Brother Jim: convincing they can be to

Brother Jim: others.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: To get these little cults going.

Brother Jim: I mean, oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: Geez.

Brother Jim: Um, do you think we have that in our area today?

Brother Jim: David.

David: I'm sure we do.

Brother Jim: I wonder how many churches, how many pastors might qualify under

Brother Jim: that in our area.

David: Oh, hello.

Brother Jim: Oh, hello. Wow. What's Brother Jim saying?

Brother Jim: I'm just asking.

Brother Jim: I'm just asking.

Brother Jim: I got to admit, one or two might come to my mind.

Brother Jim: I just I'm curious.

Brother Jim: Just curious about it, you know?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Um, because isn't that the

Brother Jim: problem when we start getting

Brother Jim: away from this, David, from the

Brother Jim: truth, the word, and start

Brother Jim: putting in our own agenda our

Brother Jim: own thoughts.

Brother Jim: And that's why I would like to say just my opinion.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Now, when it comes to the Bible,

Brother Jim: no. And I try to back everything

Brother Jim: up in a Sunday morning with

Brother Jim: Scripture.

Brother Jim: But you know, when we're talking about social, you know, issues

Brother Jim: and that kind of stuff, you know, it's my opinion.

Brother Jim: It's, it's not, which is a little different when you try to

Brother Jim: bring people in saying, oh, no, this is what God is telling me.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And I'm not.

Brother Jim: Don't get me wrong, God speaks to us all.

Brother Jim: But when we take our influence

Brother Jim: and use that not for the

Brother Jim: betterment of the kingdom, but

Brother Jim: for the betterment of ourselves,

Brother Jim: that's to me where we got a

Brother Jim: problem.

Brother Jim: That could be a big problem.

David: Well, you can also have a problem when people decide to

David: choose to follow the man instead of the word even, even if the

David: man's not trying to be a, you know, cult leader, so to speak.

David: But, you know, they start putting their faith and their

David: trust in, in the man instead of.

Brother Jim: And I try to be very cautious of that.

Brother Jim: Don't you ever, ever, ever put me up on a pulpit?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Or up on a pedestal.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I'm nothing but a. We could go

Brother Jim: on and on about what I really

Brother Jim: am.

Brother Jim: But again, saved by grace and mercy.

Brother Jim: But yeah, that that you hit that on the head.

Brother Jim: You know?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Sometimes you're not looking to do that.

Brother Jim: You're just simply doing what you're called to do.

Brother Jim: And all of a sudden people start, you know, are you ever

Brother Jim: have that teacher in school you had a crush on?

Brother Jim: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: How about you guys ever have a teacher back in the day that you

Brother Jim: maybe had a little crush on?

Brother Jim: They weren't trying to persuade you to attract you.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: It was just their personality, the way they did things.

Brother Jim: Maybe the way they cared.

Brother Jim: Maybe they way they just gave you a little extra time and not

Brother Jim: in a, you know.

Brother Jim: Yeah, a bad way.

Brother Jim: Because they cared.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Sometimes I guess that probably

Brother Jim: happens more than we think, you

Brother Jim: know.

Brother Jim: But again, there's always that

Brother Jim: room, that door there that can

Brother Jim: be opened and being aware of the

Brother Jim: situation.

Brother Jim: So, uh, because of his

Brother Jim: rebellion, old Satan, he was

Brother Jim: cast down.

Brother Jim: His desire was not to serve God, but to take God's place.

Brother Jim: Now, if we look at Ezekiel

Brother Jim: twenty eight seventeen, it

Brother Jim: speaks about a being whose heart

Brother Jim: was lifted up because of beauty

Brother Jim: and pride.

Brother Jim: Many Christians understand this as described in Satan's Fall.

Brother Jim: So Satan was once an angel, but through pride and rebellion he

Brother Jim: became God's enemy.

Brother Jim: And what does the name Satan really mean?

Brother Jim: The word Satan means adversary or enemy.

Brother Jim: Another name used in the Bible

Brother Jim: is the devil, which means

Brother Jim: accuser.

Brother Jim: Satan accuses people and tries

Brother Jim: to bring condemnation and

Brother Jim: discouragement.

Brother Jim: If we look at first Peter five, verse eight, the Bible warns us,

Brother Jim: and I love this one.

Brother Jim: Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks

Brother Jim: about like a what?

Brother Jim: Like a what?

Brother Jim: A roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

Brother Jim: And that's what he does, isn't it?

Brother Jim: David, it's you.

Brother Jim: Ever think about it?

Brother Jim: You know how a cat will play

Brother Jim: with a mouse before he finally

Brother Jim: kills it?

Brother Jim: Is that not maybe the same way

Brother Jim: the devil tries to mess with

Brother Jim: some people?

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Just keeps pawing at it.

Brother Jim: Playing with it.

Brother Jim: Just.

Brother Jim: Just to punish it.

Brother Jim: To torment it instead of just putting it out of its misery.

Brother Jim: And not that Satan can do that, but you know what I mean.

Brother Jim: The torment.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But here's the thing.

Brother Jim: Satan will tempt us, but Satan can't make us.

Brother Jim: You know what I mean?

Brother Jim: Yeah, he can do all the tempting.

Brother Jim: Now, what about demonic possession, Jim?

Brother Jim: That's a good one.

Brother Jim: Which I'm hoping we can get into, which that's a whole

Brother Jim: different game to me.

Brother Jim: My opinion there.

Brother Jim: But again, are we opening up the door to that David.

Brother Jim: Oh think about remember the old Ouija boards back in the day?

David: Oh yeah.

Brother Jim: Oh yeah, I remember, uh, if you listen to Hotel California and

Brother Jim: played it backwards, you know, that was way back in the day on

Brother Jim: your record player.

Brother Jim: You know, that was another now the Ouija board and that who

Brother Jim: don't even go messing with that kind of stuff.

Brother Jim: And we're warned in the Bible.

Brother Jim: I'll have to pull up some scripture on that one.

Brother Jim: What we need to avoid, especially did you know we had a

Brother Jim: lot of witches in our area?

David: I don't know if I knew that.

Brother Jim: Yes. Witchcraft.

David: MM.

Brother Jim: I blew my mind, but it makes sense.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I ran into somebody and very nice lady, and she blew me away

Brother Jim: with a comment one night that she would meet with other, uh,

Brother Jim: what do they call them?

Brother Jim: Mediums.

David: Yeah, I think so.

Brother Jim: Yeah. And get together.

Brother Jim: And I don't, I'm not going to call it prayer by any means, but

Brother Jim: whatever they do and I'm like, you got to be kidding me.

Brother Jim: I mean, she's cool fun, you know, just a nice lady.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Wow.

Brother Jim: Did not expect that one.

Brother Jim: Uh, so again, you never know what your next door neighbor

Brother Jim: might be doing.

Brother Jim: So yeah, but again, we are so I

Brother Jim: think blinded by our everyday

Brother Jim: life.

Brother Jim: We don't we don't notice.

Brother Jim: And I think that's why Satan is so good at deceiving.

Brother Jim: I mean, we could have a serial killer next door to us or a

Brother Jim: grand poobah in the local, uh, warlock group, you know.

Brother Jim: We never know.

Brother Jim: But again, we need to be we need

Brother Jim: to be held accountable to make

Brother Jim: sure we're being accountable, to

Brother Jim: watch out for ourselves, our

Brother Jim: families, our children,

Brother Jim: especially men.

Brother Jim: To keep our families out of this harm, this destruction, this

Brother Jim: evil that is just lurking, waiting to pounce, to attack

Brother Jim: like that roaring lion.

Brother Jim: And this.

Brother Jim: You believe Satan is active right now?

Brother Jim: David, in the world today one hundred percent.

Brother Jim: Oh, absolutely.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: And he's so and I'm not giving

Brother Jim: him any props, but he's so good

Brother Jim: at it because we're doing it to

Brother Jim: ourselves.

Brother Jim: He just slowly, you know, it's

Brother Jim: like he stirs the pot every once

Brother Jim: in a while and he just lets us

Brother Jim: cook ourselves.

Brother Jim: You look at today.

Brother Jim: I mean, our morals, our values.

Brother Jim: And I know I'm sounding like an old man, but it's true.

Brother Jim: I mean, what's acceptable now?

Brother Jim: Could you imagine back in the day, your grandma.

Brother Jim: God bless her.

Brother Jim: Oh my God, the rules she lived by.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: What?

Brother Jim: Your mother lived by what you lived by now.

Brother Jim: What your children live by.

Brother Jim: The rules can still be the same.

Brother Jim: But what about the environment?

Brother Jim: They're in.

David: Drastically different.

Brother Jim: Drastically. Exactly.

Brother Jim: And how about you?

Brother Jim: Our friends think like.

Brother Jim: Hey, Abraham.

Brother Jim: God bless you, honey.

Brother Jim: Can't wait to see you back here.

Brother Jim: But, you know, think about Peg.

Brother Jim: Think about when you grew up,

Brother Jim: the environment you were in

Brother Jim: versus the environment you're in

Brother Jim: now.

Brother Jim: And to be honest, David, I can understand why a lot of us keep

Brother Jim: our blinders on because we don't want to know about it.

Brother Jim: We don't want to deal with it.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And I mean, she's a whiz, but

Brother Jim: yes, it shows us that Satan is

Brother Jim: active.

Brother Jim: He's always looking for ways to

Brother Jim: lead people into sin and away

Brother Jim: from God.

Brother Jim: Satan is the father of lies.

Brother Jim: Jesus spoke directly about Satan's character.

Brother Jim: John eight forty four.

Brother Jim: You are of excuse me.

Brother Jim: You are of your father, the devil, and the desire of your

Brother Jim: father you want to do.

Brother Jim: He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in

Brother Jim: the truth, because there is no truth in him.

Brother Jim: When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources.

Brother Jim: For he is a liar and the father of it.

Brother Jim: In John eight forty four, Jesus

Brother Jim: said that Satan is the father of

Brother Jim: lies.

Brother Jim: Now we were just talking on

Brother Jim: Tuesday about honesty from the

Brother Jim: very beginning.

Brother Jim: Satan has used deception.

Brother Jim: We see that in the story of the temptation of Adam and Eve.

Brother Jim: In the Garden of Eden, Satan twisted God's words and caused

Brother Jim: doubt, leading them into what.

Brother Jim: Into disobedience.

Brother Jim: That is still how Satan works today.

Brother Jim: He plants thoughts such as God doesn't care about you, Jim.

Brother Jim: God doesn't care about you, David.

Brother Jim: Really, Guys?

Brother Jim: It's sin.

Brother Jim: Really that serious?

Brother Jim: Come on, you gotta have a little fun.

Brother Jim: You can handle life without God.

Brother Jim: Think of all the lies we've heard throughout our lives that

Brother Jim: we're told every day.

Brother Jim: But these are lies meant to pull people away from the truth.

Brother Jim: Satan tempts and tries to destroy.

Brother Jim: Satan also tempts people to sin.

Brother Jim: Even Jesus was tempted.

Brother Jim: And remember that David.

Brother Jim: Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness as recorded in

Brother Jim: Matthew chapter four.

Brother Jim: Satan tried to tempt Jesus with power, pride, and shortcuts, but

Brother Jim: Jesus resisted him using the words of God.

Brother Jim: This teaches us an important

Brother Jim: lesson if we're willing to

Brother Jim: listen.

Brother Jim: God's word is our weapon against temptation.

Brother Jim: Satan wants to destroy faith, relationships, and lives,

Brother Jim: families, churches, you name it.

Brother Jim: He wants to destroy it.

Brother Jim: But temptation itself is not sin.

Brother Jim: Giving into it is.

Brother Jim: Now let's hit that real quick.

Brother Jim: But temptation itself is not sin.

Brother Jim: Giving into it is.

Brother Jim: But with God's help, we can.

Brother Jim: You and I can resist.

Brother Jim: Satan is powerful, but not equal to God.

Brother Jim: Sometimes people think of Satan as if he were equal to God.

Brother Jim: Oh no baby, not even close.

Brother Jim: But that's not true.

Brother Jim: Satan is a created being and God is the creator of everything.

Brother Jim: Satan's power is limited.

Brother Jim: Remember that.

Brother Jim: Limited.

Brother Jim: But when we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, the

Brother Jim: devil must flee.

Brother Jim: That means believers are not helpless.

Brother Jim: Jesus has already won the victory.

Brother Jim: And that's what we're going to celebrate here next week.

Brother Jim: Winning the victory.

Brother Jim: The greatest truth for Christians is Jesus Christ has

Brother Jim: already defeated Satan.

Brother Jim: He's defeated death and resurrection.

Brother Jim: Through the resurrection, Jesus

Brother Jim: broke the power of sin and

Brother Jim: darkness.

Brother Jim: Remember that, my friends.

Brother Jim: One day Satan will be completely

Brother Jim: defeated and in revelation

Brother Jim: twenty, we see that Satan's

Brother Jim: final, final destiny is

Brother Jim: judgment.

Brother Jim: Evil will not win.

Brother Jim: God will.

Brother Jim: We got a lot to think about.

Brother Jim: We need to be active.

Brother Jim: We need to be alert.

Brother Jim: And we're going to continue this

Brother Jim: next week, because there's a lot

Brother Jim: here of things that we can be

Brother Jim: doing, David, to make sure we

Brother Jim: are alert.

Brother Jim: So we will come back to this next week.

Brother Jim: Is that just about does it today for Thursday, March twenty

Brother Jim: second twenty twenty six?

Brother Jim: Mr.. David, any closing comments on this?

David: You know, as you were talking, I've, I've I've heard the story

David: of the fall of Satan for I've known it for over forty years.

David: And I had a thought that just

David: now occurred to me that the

David: angels apparently had free will

David: as well.

David: Yes.

David: Because, you know, we, we as humans have free will, but I it

David: never dawned on me that he gave the angels free will.

David: I mean, that's the only way he

David: could have chosen right to

David: rebel.

David: Well, I want to.

Brother Jim: Add this in real quick off of what you just said.

Brother Jim: Think about it.

Brother Jim: He took a third of the angels with him.

Brother Jim: Now, if he could convince and this is just my little mindset.

Brother Jim: There are these angels are created by God in heaven.

Brother Jim: Yeah, perfect.

David: As good as it gets.

Brother Jim: Good as it gets.

Brother Jim: And he could persuade a third of the angels to follow him, to

Brother Jim: rebel, to rebel.

Brother Jim: What's that say about our weak minds?

Brother Jim: Our weak.

David: Right.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And that is what, man?

Brother Jim: That hits you right between the eyes, in my opinion.

Brother Jim: Because I think of the used car salesman.

Brother Jim: If this dude could this.

Brother Jim: I ain't going to say what I want to say.

Brother Jim: If this guy, this angel, could convince a third of his fellow

Brother Jim: angels to rebel against God, he must be a pretty good talker.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Smooth talker.

Brother Jim: So what chance do we have?

Brother Jim: The only chance we have is God's word.

David: Yep.

Brother Jim: Through faith, obedience, and trust in Jesus.

Brother Jim: Well, please remember you.

Brother Jim: Yes, you have meaning.

Brother Jim: You have value.

Brother Jim: And most of all, you are loved.

Brother Jim: May God continue to bless you just as well.

Brother Jim: May you and I continue to thank our Lord above for our blessings

Brother Jim: each and every day.

Brother Jim: If we meet again, well, then we will smile and rejoice.

Brother Jim: And if not, then this parting was well made.

Brother Jim: I want to end with this.

Brother Jim: Happy trails to you until we meet again.

Brother Jim: And that is a shout out to a very fine gentleman.

Brother Jim: Rockford church just laid to rest this week.

Brother Jim: Mr. Jack Moore, a beautiful, godly man, a cowboy at heart.

Brother Jim: So happy trails, my friend.

Brother Jim: Thank you for joining Dave and myself along with Miss Ida Lee

Brother Jim: here on Bible Bibs in Prayer.

Brother Jim: This is the big guy, brother Jim.

Brother Jim: Out.

Singer: Happy trails to you.

Speaker 4: Till we meet up again.
