All right, looks like we're back to the auto shut off. Thanks, quick time. Um So as you ascend, you'll meet uh darker demons, demons with more power and you'll also meet greater beings of light. And uh they didn't come before because you didn't have the capacity to withstand uh to I I should say to contend
with their presence, to withstand the, the challenge it would be to accept the, the gravity of light that they bring. But now you can and this is why Daniel entertained Gabriel and Mary entertained Gabriel and Elizabeth entertained Gabriel, but uh other people don't. Right. So uh cause if Gabriel came
to Daniel and almost killed him, what would he do to someone who is way less than Daniel? Um So you'll get more light from them and they'll help you withstand greater darkness. If you look in Zechariah three, you see the story of Joshua who is a righteous priest and Satan was messing with him. And the
verse is a little confusing. So I'll just not try to clarify it, but angelic beings came to him and uh rebuked Satan and took care of him. And so when you're doing your best. God sends reinforcements. Um Jesus said during his trial, he said, don't, you know, if I ask my father, he'll send a legion of
angels and um there's a purpose in them not coming, but in your case, um don't forget that he can and there will be cases where he will send angels on your behalf and they'll fight your battles because you won't have enough to do it yourself. So you better pay attention because that's gonna, that's gonna
happen, not just when you're on your knees asking for it, but especially when you're not. And um God always offers greater blessings with uh opportunities for greater faith. And the more obvious it is, the less the blessings can be. That's just the way it goes, all things come through faith. So be aware
of watch and pray for God to send uh help into your life because he's going to and if you miss it, it's on you. Uh it's one, it's, it's a thing he can do and there, there aren't substitutes, that's the way. Ok? Um All right. So, but in the moment, let me tell you how you can hurt these beings. Um We
, we talked about, we were getting into human attacks. Um But, and then we did talk about possession kind of attacks or I I've just, I think it's easier just to say internal versus external, right? Um So, um this is how you fight off internal attacks um, Macro, you live your life the way you should micro
in the moment when they come at you. There's a, there's a scene in a movie called The Untouchables, which you're probably way too righteous to have seen. Um, but there's this guy, Sean Connery, he's like a real knuckle bruiser kind of guy. And they're fighting the Mob and it's a famous scene where he's
, he's, he talks about escalating the attack. If they do this, we're gonna do that and if they do that, we're gonna do this. And um again, truth in strange places when the devil comes after you, God gives you power to make it hurt, you make that demon regret it. Not because you're hot stuff, but because
you serve God and God has overcome all things and he gives you the power to do what I'm telling you and how I'm telling you. Um So do it make them regret it? Now, how do you do that in the micro when, when they come after you and you feel a spirit of heaviness or you have your, you, you, you experience
thoughts that are suggesting you to do things that aren't who you are or you experience uh impulses to not do good things that you would otherwise do. You just wanna take it easy. You wanna do this, you wanna do that, you don't wanna do this, you don't wanna do that. I'm gonna tell you how you fight
back. You get up, you think of the greatest good you can do right now and you go and you do that thing and then as soon as you're done, you think what is the greatest good I can do right now? And you go and you do that thing. People are overcome because their first reaction is to drop to their knees
and beg for God to take this away. Stop asking for God to take away the very path he's given you to greater things. Don't ask him to hurt you. It's contrary to his nature, to deprive his Children of the good that he has to give. Ask him how you can use it for your good. And I'm telling you do good think
, use your brain, ignore your feelings for a minute and how you feel, don't think about feeling good, think about doing good. And I don't care if, if like you, you're so overcome that you barely have strength to stand or even if you're crawling on the ground, I don't care. You do the best good that you
can think of that is right in front of you. If you just have to straighten a mess, that's literally right in front of you. Do it. And the second you do this, the light comes and then it comes stronger and then it comes stronger. And what happens is is as the influence of that demon wanes on you and the
influence of God increases, you're even gonna forget what was going on. You're gonna get lost in the good that you're doing. And let's say that doesn't happen in the moment or after a day or after a week, don't stop. Just keep doing the best you can imagine. And eventually what's gonna happen is the
clouds will dissipate and that internal temptation it goes away. Now, long term, the way, the way they lose the ability to get you internally is through God telling you teaching you hard things. He reveals the truth to you. And that typically doesn't happen in a moment. And there are a whole lot of restrictions
that we place on God in his attempts to try to get us this right. But it's one of the critical things we're here to gain. So um it, it's truth is successive. It usually takes time to lay out. So sometimes it takes experience, a lot of times it takes sorrow and pain to learn to uh to lose the value of
that's false that you hold on things and to gain the value that's true or gain, gain the correct magnitude of value, get things in the right priority place in your life. It takes time and it usually involves hard truths that you probably aren't ready to hear just yet. So in the macro, you, you exercise
your faith and then you make a place to have greater trust in God and to have less fear in life. And the more you, you overcome. It's like a snowball where you're just capable of more and more and more and more. And that's the pathway to him giving you what he can't just magically tell you directly,
right this second. OK. All right. So that's the internal. What about the external? Um uh Sorry, I was just thinking about whether I wanna talk about justice. I'm gonna skip that. OK. What about the external? So here we have people who almost never realize their stooges of Satan and we have you who sees
what's going on and knows what's going on because I've told you and now you're informed and you're empowered and how do you, the, the seat of decision in this person is in the person, but the voice telling them what to do what they do. That's a demon and it could be very, very deep inside them, like
a lifetime of false ideas or behaviors or, or patterns. How do you fight that? Um The way you fight this is you overcome evil with good. Um You can't adequately answer that question without delving completely into how to teach the gospel, which isn't really about the gospel at all, but how to teach,
how do you persuade people? And so what I, I guess what I want to say is the deep end of this is really, really, really, really, really deep and it, it's reason, it's persuasion, it's intelligence, it's wisdom, it's all these things. So I'm gonna stay in the shallow end. And the good news is you're probably
not here anyway. I'm not saying you're not intelligent or wise or whatever, but this is all successive and you gotta go through the shallows before you go deeper. You can't just dive in, um, because you'd be overcome. So let's just stick to the shallows and the shallows is, you love them, you love them
, you love them with all your heart, mind and strength. So when they punch you, you say God, please forgive them. There's no way they understand what they're doing and you turn the other cheek and when they hit you again, you turn back, say like no, you haven't got me on my back yet. And when this keeps
going for long enough and you're laying on the ground, one of two things is gonna happen, their heart will be overcome by the clarity and intensity of the signal of God's love that you're showing them through suffering in their benefit, or God will remove them or God will remove you. And if you quit
before that happens, you can't do so without turning away a tremendous gift that God has given you in great love. Mm I wish I could say that that when you get through something like this and the more you do this, you accumulate treasures in heaven that you
