OK. I think we're recording again and this is loud. All right. Um Let's get back to where we were. Ok. So, uh sorry about that. I just, I need to make sure it's still recording. So I don't post a waste all this time and post a blank video. Um We left off on, he can only protect you if you listen to him
. So there's a lot of really great scriptures about a hen uh gathering her chicks and protecting those chicks, chicks are funny. They, um baby chickens, I mean, uh don't want to get in trouble. Um, baby chickens, they'll run out from this hen all the time and there could be a lot of them and the hen
is just a perpetual state of hysteria. It's really funny to watch and, but she'll gather up these chickens as best she can all the time because they're always going out. One will escape. She got rope them in right all the time. Do, do, do till they get big and get some sense. As much sense as chickens
can get. If you're not under his wings, he can't protect you. So that's why he says, look to me in every thought, doubt, not fear, not. Um That is the key and we're gonna explore that a little. So, um when Satan came to Moses and gave him a very hard time, Moses struggled with that until he made his
focus God. And um I'm gonna give you uh uh a practical take on that. Um So the world will talk about worshiping God and praising God. And it's easy to use those words and never connect your soul to your action. Um If you want to praise God, worship him in spirit and in truth, in other words, say what
you really believe and do what you really believe. Um When in the moment when demonic forces mess with you, that's not the time to develop your faith. That's the time that your faith is going to be tested. And um like casting out demons with much fair uh prayer and fasting, you can't do the much prayer
and fasting in the moment it's needed. This has to be just the next thing in your really solid trajectory in life. And um supposing you've lived your life that way, which it's kind of like planting fruit trees. The best time to do it was seven years ago. But the next best time is today, maybe not literally
because it's September 21st and the tree will die. But uh in the spring, that's the next best time in the spring of your soul is every day So the time is now to make changes. If you know about changes, you need to make, find out what that looks like on the basis of today. And you do that part for today
right now. So and live your life like that all the time. And as you do that, what's gonna happen is when Satan or his minions come to you, your defense will be as follows. You will think about how good God is not how you wish he was, but how you know He is and you will recount all of the good things
that he has ever done for the world and especially for you. And every time you say one of those things you think about what that means about how you're gonna live your life today tomorrow and until you die and you mean it, when you say I am going to live according to all I know for the rest of my life
, if you do that and if you can mean it, when you do it, I promise you that the demons will flee from you, they will flee from you like a lion chasing a flock of sheep. So when we do this, the word gets out about you and these demons, they want nothing more than to be on the other side of town from wherever
you are. And um when you go into places with that light in you, they will know who you are and they will stand up and sometimes they will flee from you when Enoch preached and he was doing his mission. Uh, among the people, people fled from his presence. They couldn't stand in his presence, they trembled
in his presence. So I said, everyone's influenced one way or the other. Most people are on the wrong side of that coin if you haven't figured it out. And it's a shocker when you do, but it's true. And what happens is um they, the I told you that demons are strategic and their strategy is to stay quiet
as long as they can. Their best strategy is that their host does not know about them. Satan is a parasite and all of his followers are parasites. They have no power of themselves. All they have is what they've stolen or what they've retained so far from what they have before. Um That was gained in the
right way. And so, um they want to stay on their host as long as they can and they're not gonna kill their host unless that's the only way they can, can uh thrive. Um It, it, it works just like a parasite. A parasite doesn't think about this. But, but um they come into being and propagate through strategies
that um keep them alive the longest, right? And that's what they say, these, these satanic forces, they're just trying to minimize their pain. And um they do that like we talked about before by feeding on you. So they're, they're gonna take the strategy that maximizes their imagined outcome. And so you
can hurt them by making it harder for them to imagine a positive outcome, which is harming their faith through your faith. So they have faith against what's true. You have faith for what's true and you can fight them that way, but you can also increase their pain. And um you do this, uh like I said by
um a conscientious and sustained life, a devotion to God, uh such that when the time comes and you need it, you can recount your honest feelings towards him and what you're honestly, what you honestly have done in your life, what you're doing now and what you're gonna do, you can cry out to him in uh
faithful allegiance and it will repel these forces. Um And you will get a name for yourself like the, the demon said, uh Jesus, I know and Paul, I know, but who are you? So you'll get on the list and um what happens when you get on the list? Uh I have to warn you about, I, I mentioned it a little bit
but um you become a target in other ways, you're not a target as uh a sanctuary for demons as most people are, but you become a target uh for interpersonal attack. So I explained this before where they can embed in you. But once you stop them from coming into you they're going to try to harm you through
other people. There's two ways that I wanna uh two facets I want to tell you about with this one is when you walk into a room, this is a normal situation in life. Totally normal place. Whatever the setting may be, work, grocery store, family reunion, it doesn't matter. You will walk into a place that's
not your normal environment. Like your, your safe place, your, you're abode, you'll go into this place that's not tempered by your presence. And um, you will see reactions in people from your mere presence. They will be uncomfortable. You, you don't have to say a thing. They might not even know you're
there. The person might not, you could, their backs could be to you. You'll walk into a room, you'll see people shuffle, you'll see, see people get frustrated. You see people get up and leave. Um, and then if they know that you're there, you'll see them do things to you or say things about you or whatever
. And um, it really doesn't matter how infrequently this happens. Um, that won't really affect it although you can get used to um the presence of light just as you can get used to the absence of it and desensitized to both. But um, le let's leave it there. So I don't make this too, too, too long. Um
So you will catch lower demons by surprise just like I did with that. I was telling you I was tilling my garden and it was just another normal life and the life of the vole. But that vole's whole environment got destroyed by my tiller it quickly because it's a big tiller. And I was flying around on my
tractor and he just darted because I took him by surprise. And he said, oh, shoot, I had a good thing going here. I am out of here because that tiller is gonna kill me. And you can do that to the lesser demons as you ascend. But I'll tell you the bigger ones, they're gonna come for you because you're
a challenge. It's like hunters go for the animals with the extra antlers and the big ones that are hard to catch and you have to go way out in the mountains to get them. There are demons like that too and they'll come for you, they'll come for you. So this is one of those things where like if you're
a fighter and you're undefeated, you just made yourself a target because everybody wants to be the first guy to knock you out and you really need to be careful with that. So, um, once you begin this journey, it's a journey you can't stop. You just have to keep getting better. And as you learn more about
God, um, you come up higher in the demons you meet because God doesn't expose us to situations we can't handle. Um, so you come up higher as you become capable of. More in terms of the well lower, I guess you, you meet lower demons, more powerful demons, but you.
