Satan’s Defeat and the Final Battle Against the Church

Now listen again to these shattering words. There was war in heaven. I can't even conceive what that means. Satan and his angels fought against Michael and the angels of God and Satan lost that war. And the scripture says in the text that I just read to you, Rejoice all you heavens!

Rejoice all you that abide in heaven! That had to do with the martyrs, that had to do with all the heavenly hosts, all the redeemed. It said rejoice because the accused of the brethren have been cast out of heaven.

Satan lost his right to even approach the fan of God as an accuser at that time. He accused all the redeemed, said they had no right to be redeemed. All you heavens rejoice because the devil has been cast out.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him. Now, keep that in mind.

He was cast out of heaven into the earth. Jesus came down to that same earth to set up his kingdom right in the realm that the devil was claiming. Remember the devil claimed the earth for himself and all the kingdoms of this world.

Because when Jesus was tempted in the desert, when he was tempted in the desert, the devil said, if you'll fall down in worship, I'll give you all my kingdoms, I'll give you the kingdoms of the world.

So Jesus didn't dispute that. But right in the middle of this dark kingdom, Jesus came to set up his own invisible kingdom in the hearts of his people. And God has always had a church. Wherever there's been an altar from Abraham on, God has always had a church.

Wherever a man has worshipped, there's been a church. In fact, the church was born in the Old Testament without question. In fact, all the prophets looked for the consolation of Israel. You can't look for the consolation of Israel unless you're part of the church.

It was said of Abraham, he saw my day. Jesus said and rejoiced. He's a part of this same body. That church gave birth. The church of the prophets. The church of our fathers who walked with God. Some translated.

They were all a part of this church. And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered to devour her child as soon as it was born. Now, I take that to be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Satan realized that he'd lost the first war. But now, he stands waiting because he knows he's in another battle. And Satan comes and fills the heart of Herod, first of all. The Bible says he stood before this woman, before this church that was about to give birth to the church of the Old Testament, about to give birth, to devour the child as soon as it was born.

Remember, Heb tried to kill it. Satan himself and Lin, incarnated, I believe, many of the priests, incarnated, came down in his own power and turned the world against him. And where did the cry come from?

Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him! That came right out of the pits of hell. That was Satan moving in the hearts of the people. Satan lost his greatest battle. His worst defeat, his second and worst defeat, was at the cross.

First of all, he did war against the Father in heaven. He was cast out. He did war against the man-child, Jesus Christ, and he was defeated. And so, there's only one battle left. It's the last battle that's being waged right now.

And it's against the remnant of the seed of Jesus Christ. And that's the church, that's you, and that's me. This is the last battle. And having spoiled... This is what Jesus did to the devil at the cross.

He spoiled principalities and powers. He made a show of them openly, and he triumphed over them. Hallelujah. Do you know that the accuser of the brethren has no power over you and I now? Because if he tries to accuse you and me, we go right to the throne of God, and upon the blood of Jesus Christ, the accusations are gone.

Revelation’s Warning About the Devil’s Short Time

But listen to what the scripture says. Revelation 12, 12. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea, for the devil's come down to you, and he's angry, he has deep wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time.

I wish Christians knew that. I wish Christians would acknowledge, as much as the devil does you, that he has a short time. We've got a whole doctrine now saying we've got an eternity to build the kingdom.

The devil knows he has a short time. And the Bible says he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. He persecuted the body of Jesus Christ. He didn't have... Remember, we are the body. This is the only thing the devil has left to persecute.

This is the last one. Get that in your mind. There's a powerful, clear, prophetic warning about the devil's tactics in the last day. It's true that the devil has harassed every generation. He harassed the first church.

He persecuted the church ever since the cross. He would try to drive out those first early Christians into the desert. The Bible said they walked naked through the hills. They were hungry, they were thirsty, they were sawn asunder.

Yes, the devil's always harassed the church. But now, in these last days, even though the Bible says evil men are waxing worse and worse, they've been an acceleration of evil. Just before the last day, just before Jesus comes and he knows his time is short, there is coming a release out of the pits of hell everything Satan has in his arsenal.

Aimed at the individual Christian. Aimed at those who are now the body of Jesus Christ. Jesus bearing the head. He couldn't touch the head so he's after the body. How's he going to do it? How's he going to come against us in these last days?

He's going to spew out of his mouth. Out of the abundance of the mouth the heart speaks. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. And out of his mouth, which means out of his heart, there's going to come a flood of iniquity and evil such as the early church never saw.

Listen to it. The serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away with the flood. Listen to it now. I want you to listen very clearly. Why are we having a male landslide in America and the world today?

Why are little children now selling drugs 8 and 9 years old? Why are hundreds of thousands of little children being molested? Men are raping babies in cribs. What about AIDS and chlamydia and this absolutely being carried away by a male landslide?

What's it all about? It's more than just judgment upon mankind for their sins. These are the sins of mankind. There's no question. But it's more than that. It's a flood right out of the devil's heart.

It's a flood out of his mouth. And I tell you that flood has a design to it. It's not just sinful men paying for their sins. This is a satanic design that he would come against the church with such a flood of evil.

He would throw such a flood of temptation that you and I would be convulsed by it saying, where is our God? Where is the God of Elijah? Why would God allow it? In an attempt, the Bible says, to carry away the redeemed.

To carry you away with the flood. The dragon was angry with the woman and went to make war with the woman of her seed which keep the commandments of God and have the testimonies of Jesus Christ. You know what the devil is trying to do?

He's trying to provoke you like he's provoking the whole world. And I'll tell you how to do it. Satan will enter into your... an unconverted boss, into his heart. He'll enter into someone in your family that's an open door to the devil.

And Satan will provoke you by those sometimes closest to you. He'll provoke you on the job by someone who doesn't like you and the devil knows it and will be there to bait you. It's the devil doing it himself.

It's a flood. I don't care who you are. If you're the holy seed of Christ, Satan's declared war on you. I'm telling you, the more you set your heart on Jesus, the more you ache after him, the more you yearn after him, you are more on the very front line.

You've set your heart to obey the Lord, you're walking close to Jesus, you've become the prime target of everything out of hell. You see what the devil's doing to Israel right now, little tiny Israel, 4 million people?

You see how Satan is already entering into the leaders of the world? Not only Russia, not only Arabs, but now England. And now the United States is changing and Satan is trying everything in his power to mobilize against tiny little Israel.

Because anywhere there's a seed, anywhere, natural seed, spiritual seed, he's there to wipe it out. To destroy it. But all especially, he's coming against individual believers. Do you know that every Christian home where Christ rules the supreme is under attack?

Do you know that your marriage is under attack? I tell you now, I'd look you in the face and tell you in all affair, if God's Lord, that your marriage, if it's not being tested now, in the next year or so, it's going to be tested like it's never been tested since you've known your husband or wife.

You're going to have winds and waves, you're going to have floods sweep through your home, you're going to have it with your children, you're going to have it everywhere you turn. The devil is going to come and try to provoke your emotions and put you on an emotional roller coaster, put you up and down and hot and cold, and try to discourage you, and put the blues and depression on you.

He's going to attack your nerves. He's going to try to really dissape the Bible says. I saw a powerful prophecy this evening just before church. You don't have to turn to it, but it's in Daniel. In the 9th chapter, I'm going to, you might want to mark it, the 9th chapter of Daniel.

There's a powerful prophecy that I've not seen before. And I'm going to read this verse to you. Daniel 9, 26. And after three, four, and two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off. That's Jesus. After three, four, and two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and left Himself.

And the people of the prince which have come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Now listen to this. And the end thereof shall be with the flood. The end thereof shall be with the flood. You know that we're going out.

You that are going to hear the word and you that are going to rise by faith and see that Jesus sits king of the flood. You and I, once you, the judgment does begin in the house of God, but once you come under judgment, once you've repented, once you've turned from your wicked ways, you're no longer under judgment.

The world is under judgment. The wicked are under judgment. But it says it so. The end thereof shall be with the flood until the end of the war. The end of the spiritual war. Desolations are determined.

Prophetic Darkness and the Collapse of Justice

And then back in Daniel, the second chapter. I'll just read it to you quickly. The second chapter, verse four and five of Daniel 2. Let's see, I think it's... Let me give you the background of it here.

Daniel saw God coming as the Son of Jesus Christ. It's the testimony of the stone that comes out of the mountain. I get the wrong reference to it, but here's the story. It's very, very familiar. Daniel saw this vision of a great beast and he saw a stone carved out of the mountain and coming down and crossing every other kingdom.

What is that stone? Jesus Christ. And the Bible says in the midst of a flood in the last day, when the kingdoms of darkness look they're about to prevail, the stone is going to come rolling down out of the mountain and crush everything in its sight.

I hear the thunder of that rock coming down out of the mountain, carved without hands, right out of the mountain. That's Jesus Christ and His holy kingdom. Hallelujah. I've got to move on very quickly.

The devil is willing to sacrifice... Listen closely. The devil, to get at you, to get at every true believer, the devil is willing to sacrifice all of his angels, he's willing to sacrifice every child of the devil, every single wicked person that belongs to his kingdom, he's willing to sacrifice it all to get to you and get to the church.

Do you know that he's willing to sacrifice his whole kingdom, all the kings of the world, if Jesus would just kneel before him? Did you ever see the picture of the Ayatollah Khomeini when he was sending his troops against the Iraqi artillery tanks?

I mean, the Iraqi government had set up just battalions and battalions of these huge guns. The Ayatollah Khomeini gathered up all the teenage boys of Iran and some of them had no weapons at all. And they were promised eternal life.

And it was considered an honor if they would go up and give their bodies as a sacrifice. Hundreds of thousands of teenage Iranian boys were sacrificed without even weapons, were mowed down like animals.

If a madman possessed of the devil like Khomeini would offer all of his teenagers, what's the devil going to offer to get at you and me and the church? He's willing to give up everything he has to destroy your faith.

And once you see that, once you realize what we're up against, then you're going to rejoice in what I'm about to tell you before this message is finished. This is Satan's last provocation against the church.

Satan's determined to swamp God's people. You know, all the prophets of God predicted the way it's going to be in the midst of this flood. They described this flood in so many words. In fact, Isaiah chapter 60, you can follow me if you want.

I know it's pretty dark here in the church. We don't have enough lights yet here in the theater. But you can just follow me if you will. Isaiah 60, verse 1. Arise, shine! For the light has come. The glory of the Lord has risen upon thee.

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people. But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. All the prophets, Isaiah's message, predicted in the last day when this flood came, there'd be a spirit of darkness, gross darkness.

And what that means is a spirit of gloom. A spirit of gloom. Do you see that around you today? A spirit in the world of gloom, men's hearts failing them for fear. You can go to Zechariah. You don't have to turn there, but Zechariah.

Just go first to chapter 59. It's right here, 59 also, as well as in Zechariah. But look at chapter 59. Isaiah's describing what this last day flood's going to be like. In verse 9. Therefore is judgment far from us.

Neither does justice overtake us. We wait for light, but behold, obscurity for brightness, but we walk in darkness. You hear what that's saying? That the courts of the land, the justice system, is going to be broken down.

We're seeing that right now. That's the part of the flood. The breakdown of all justice. Including the Supreme Court. Verse 10. Success says that mankind are going to grope like blind men looking for the wall.

Verse 10. We grope for the wall like the blind. We grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noon. Is it in the night? The desolate place is dead men. Verse 12. Said the sins are going to cry out against us.

In verse 14. Truth is going to fall in the streets. Judgment is turned away backward. Justice stands before us. Truth is falling in the streets. Iniquity cannot enter. But you know in Zechariah, the 14th chapter, in the 12th or 15th verses, the Bible predicts that Prophet Zechariah said there's going to be a total breakdown of law and order.

And this breakdown of law and order is going to end up in a hydrogen holocaust around the world. There's no doubt in my mind. That's beyond question in my thinking. I know there's going to be a hydrogen holocaust.

I know God's going to destroy America by fire. That's beyond question as far as I'm concerned. Interpretation of the Bible. But there's going to be a whole breakdown of law and order. You go home and study Zechariah.

The 13th chapter, verse 12 to 15. I don't know if you saw this week's U .S. News and World Report. It's called Murder Zones. America's full of its own Beiruts where drug lords reign and no cops dare to tread.

Dead Zones. Whole sections of our urban American cities are being written off as Badlands. Places where cops fear to go. And they say this is Beirut, USA. It says it's a war that we're losing. They've named ten cities, including New York City, where they're whole sections.

Every day, there's haunting pictures of the dead being carried off in body bags. Angry, grieving families of commandos breaking down doors of dilapidated buildings. Armed gangs and wounded children. Of burned out cars and flashes of gunfire all night long.

It's become an urban war zone. Young men going around with sawed-off shotguns and Uzis. Los Angeles gang members are ruling their communities with an awful show of force. They're expressing they're killing someone as Booyah, which is the sound of a sawed-off shotgun.

Civil authorities have said that law, order has basically broken down. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Miami, Cleveland, East St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Oakland, Los Angeles.

These war zones are places where the concentrated violence has risen so high all the city services are barely functioning. They're not simply because workers and administrators are redlining the area, but they're afraid to go in for their very lives.

These local by-routes look like war zones. Unmaintained public housing, literally crumbling, garbage piled obscenely in all the vacant lots, attracting haulers who illegally dump tons more from their trucks.

Ambulances, firefighters, utility workers request police escorts, and often they refuse to go into those communities. Governor Mario Cuomo of New York said, I don't see how we can manage this problem anymore.

It's possible. You won't be able to solve this problem. That's how horrible it's gotten. Won't be able to solve it. We've finally reached the place where we've run out of our American ingenuity. We have it in our wall.

Americans can do anything. No, Americans can't stop. We have murder in our cities. There's a murder in New York every five hours now. Break down of law and order and we're headed for anarchy. And it's a part of the flood.

A heartbreaking story in the paper yesterday, a man in Brooklyn, it broke my heart what he said. He said two years ago, he's talking to a reporter, two years ago all hell broke loose here in New York.

That's when crack hit the city in America. He said there's a flood of violence now that's so bad we're becoming numb to it. He said two years ago I cried when I saw a dog lying dead on my street killed by a car accident.

He said last week I saw a man shot dead in the same spot and I felt nothing. It didn't move me. He said what's happening to me? Two years ago I cried over a dead dog. Now I feel nothing for a dead man.

We've allowed things in two years to get so bad nothing moves us or allows us to act on anymore. Isn't that sad? Isn't it true? I had a taste of this flood this past week. We have some people that are sitting here tonight that are attending this church that are homeless and they sleep in the subways.

And I heard about it and I asked them to take me down this past week. Wednesday night. I went down. You realize that there's a whole underground city here in New York. There are thousands of people sleeping in places that you wouldn't even walk in.

You dare not walk into. So we waited until the police went by went to the edge of the subway down 42nd Street and he said alright. We slipped around behind the wall down along God Quarter. Two precious young men who are college graduates by the way.

Homeless. They've been on some drugs and alcohol. They've been coming to this church and they've quit using drugs and alcohol even though they haven't been able to yet to find a job. And yet, I believe one of them is going to go to Bible school.

He probably just went to Bible school. He feels a call of God. But they took me down and showed me their home. And what it was is between two subway cars there's about six feet in there where they keep the the subway workers keep their tools and some of the those railroad ties.

Full of rats and the grease from the wheels. And they had cardboard laid there. And some old blankets. And they said, Pastor, that's our home. I said, what about the rats? He said, oh, we know them now.

That's Ralphie and that's you know hold it please. He said, you wake up and you look and you see beady eyes looking at you. He said, we try to feed them over here so they won't come over here. But do you know that under the wall there's Astoria?

And do you know under Grand Central Station there are about eight layers? And do you know there are tunnels that you can get lost in? One young man who took me down there said, brother, if you go down there we can't get out.

You can get lost in there. And there are hundreds of people living up near 178th Street and some of those areas up there and under the where the train barn is there are somewhat estimated 1 ,500 people living underground there.

1 ,500 people living underground. We have a whole society underground. Literally starving. They go out at night and try to get something when they're throwing the donuts out of the shops. They know where they can go once a week if they have to to get a shower.

And I looked at that and I felt that flood. I thought, oh God, these are good times. This is the lowest unemployment in the history of the United States right now. Wall Street is booming. These are supposed to be good times.

We have 60 ,000 homeless people in this city and a whole nation that doesn't know if we brought people from Iowa and showed them what I saw down there, I felt a flood. And I felt the devil whisper to my heart where is your God?

That's exactly what the flood's all about. I had to resist the devil because he tried to flood. There was a flood of panic and fear. And I thought, oh God, these are good times. What's going to happen when 50 ,000 Wall Streeters lose their jobs?

When they have to give up their condos? I had some of those poor people who said, Brother Dave, this person doesn't mean anything to us. We did it. We're going to teach them how to live and survive. They called them there was a movie that called these people chuds.

C-H-U-D-S. Catabolistic humanoid underground dwellers. They're not chuds. They've got souls. I had these young people that took me down there. There's just a little lightbulb hanging. They had their Bibles.

And one boy, his eyes are getting bad. He's trying to study his Bible.

Under that little light. It's a flood, saints.

God’s Help for Those Overwhelmed by Spiritual Attacks

Some of you here tonight, you're going through the worst trial in your lifetime. You love the Lord. You desire to go all the way with Him. You're not wanting to go back to the world. But you don't know what's happened to you.

You've been swamped. You've been swamped by temptation. You've been swamped in your home. Swamped in your marriage. I don't know what it is.

But you've been swamped. Someone.

Described it like this. He said one day you're sitting out on the beach of God's love. Soaking in the sunshine of His victory. And all of a sudden out of nowhere comes a tidal wave without a warning. And just in a moment of time you feel like you're fighting for your very spiritual life.

You're sitting there loving the Lord. And all of a sudden the flood comes in. The tidal wave hits you. And you say, Oh God, what happened? What happened? The Lord revealed something to me in prayer this past week.

I've been thinking of all the troubled people that we've ministered to. Think about all the people we're counseling. Living in turmoil in their heart. Crying themselves to sleep. You'd be surprised how many people that you're sitting near that cry themselves to sleep.

I don't know if anyone could ever understand what I'm going through. Some of you are afraid to tell everything that's in your heart because you think not even the pastors would understand. Some of you don't think even God understands.

But you're going through something. You can't understand it because you love the Lord so much. And I got, I got to thinking when I was, in fact this message started entirely different. This is not the message I was preparing.

Because I was going to get up here and I'm going to really come down on stubbornness. And I was going to say to you who are troubled and you who are burdened, the reason you're like that is because you're not praying, you're not reading your Bible, you're stubborn.

There's no reason to let the devil walk over you. But the devil had a lesson, God had a lesson for me to learn. You see, I was going to stand up and I was going to tell you in all, no uncertain terms, it's not necessary for you to have to go on living like that.

If you get rid of your stubbornness, you'd pray more and study the Bible more. Then everything would be alright. But God showed me there's a time for correction, and then there's a time for his mighty arm to come forward because somebody's under an attack.

That it's not stubbornness, it's not rebellion, it's something that is beyond their power. God touched it so beautifully this morning. Yes, these are the last days the devil's coming, but it's not always coldness, it's not always stubbornness, it's not always rebellion, it's something you don't understand.

It's beyond you! Does that describe somebody here to me?

Well, you... See, I don't understand. I thought I was further along in the Lord than that. I thought I'd really reached the place walking in holiness and righteousness and suddenly something slipped into your life that makes you ashamed.

You say, God, I didn't think I'd ever have this kind of thought. I didn't think I'd ever do anything like that again in my lifetime. You see, the devil provoked David to sin and he's trying to provoke you to sin to forget your holy God and to rob you of your peace with the Lord.

Now, I'm telling you now, that doesn't rule out the fact that many people because of their stubbornness and their rebellion are going through this. We've preached that, you know we've preached that from this pulpit.

We'll never take that back. I may have to stand here next Sunday night or Bob or Don or Gary, we may have to stand up and preach against stubbornness. But you see, there comes a time where God says, no, that's not what my people need now.

They've been corrected and if you correct my people tonight when they're being flooded and need a rope, they don't need a hammer tonight, they need a rope. I didn't understand it at first and then the Lord took me to Isaiah 35 and I want you to go to Isaiah 35.

I want to show you the glory of the last days. The glory of the last days. Hallelujah. I want to say something to you that are being swamped by the flood. You know the devil's trying to tear you away, don't you?

You know that that thing that you're going through right now is an absolute attack out of hell. Isaiah 35, verse 3. Strengthen ye the weak hands. Confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are but fearful heart, be strong, fear not.

Behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense. He will come and save you. He's not talking only to Israel of the flesh. It's directed to the, in fact in the previous chapter, it's said to all nations.

In fact, chapter 34 verses 1 and 2, all nations, let the earth hear, and all that is therein the indignation is upon all nations, not just Israel, all nations all people. This is a message not just for Israel, it's a message for the church too.

It includes Israel. Listen to verse 3 and 4 again. Strengthen ye the weak hands. Support your feeble knees. Say to them that are but fearful heart, be strong, fear not. Now it's one thing for a preacher to stand up and say, strengthen yourself.

Get a hold of some courage. But then you've got to have something to back that up. Where are you going to get that? Well, here it is. Alright, go to Isaiah 59. I'll show it to you. Isaiah 59. I tell you, if this doesn't make you shout with joy, then nothing in the Bible will make you shout with joy.

So shall they fear, verse 19, Isaiah 59. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemies shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up the standard against him.

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression and Jacob saith the Lord. Listen to me now. Here's the grave that I stage. I wasn't there when Jesus was crucified. I didn't see it.

I wasn't there when the resurrection didn't see it. I missed that. But I'm not missing the next glorious thing. We're not going to miss this. Hallelujah. It's a wonderful day to be alive. Because in the middle of the flood, we're not only going to see God come down and judge the wicked like we're seeing right now.

God says the world and inhabitants will have to see the devils come down unto you having great wrath. I've just read to you from Isaiah the 35th chapter, the promise of a holy God. Buckle up! Because I'm coming down!

The Redeemer's coming to Zion. We are going to see God come down as he's never come in any generation. We're going to see him take control. We're going to see the rock crush our enemies. Glory be to God.

He will put on his garments of vengeance for clothing. He will clothe himself with zeal. He will come with fury to recompense our adversaries. Hallelujah. Do you know God's always been with his people?

He's always been a strong power. Go through the Old Testament. You say, didn't God come down and deliver the people? Oh, yes. But oh, the Bible said even men are going to wax worse and worse. And the Bible makes it very clear that it's after the death of Jesus and that the flood will accelerate and the worst of the flood comes with the last wind-up of time we upon whom the ends of the world have come that we who are at the end time are going to see grace like no generation have ever seen grace.

We're going to see God come down when we're the most discouraged, thinking it's hopeless, and God's going to come down and say, let me take over. Let me take over. We sing, our God's a man of war. He's going to come and he's going to fight our battles.

Hallelujah. An angry devil's going to meet a holy God. It's written, where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. Hallelujah. Let me show you something, please. Based on that, where sin abounds, grace does much more abound.

The Red Sea and God’s Power to Deliver

Do you remember when Israel was cornered at the Red Sea? Pharaoh's behind them, right? Welcome to the sea. Great army, they're so helpless, they don't know what to do. You know what that army represents?

The devil and all the demonic hordes coming against you. There you are, the Red Sea. You're helpless. You say, I don't know what to do, Lord. I've fasted, I've prayed, I've wept, I've cried. I don't know how anymore.

And I'm telling you, what we're in now, folks, is beyond human help. God said it. God was saying something to us that he's saying something. What's happening is beyond your human power. It's beyond your ability to cope with.

Don't try to win the victory yourself. So what did they do? What did God say to Israel? Fear not. Stand still and see the salvation.

Of the Lord. The Lord shall fight.

For you. You shall hold your peace. Glory to God. The Lord will fight for you. Moses stood up before the congregation. He said, You shall not fear, for the Lord's your God. He is it who shall fight for you.

Well, I'll tell you what, if he's gonna do that in the Old Testament, how much more now when we've got a mad devil in our tail? God's gonna come down and say, I'm not gonna lose my church to the devil.
