December 3, 2018 Show with Dr. Cliff Boone on “Christ Victorious: How To Experience Christ’s Victory Over The Devil in Your Everyday Life”

Live from the historic parsonage of 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania, it's Iron Sharpens Iron, a radio platform on which pastors, Christian scholars and theologians address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Proverbs 27 verse 17 tells us iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Matthew Henry said that in this passage, quote, we are cautioned to take heed whom we converse with and directed to have in view in conversation to make one another wiser and better.

It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next hour and we hope to hear from you, the listener, with your.

Own questions. Now here's our host Chris Arntzen. Good afternoon Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Lake City, Florida and the rest of humanity living on the planet earth. We're listening via live streaming at ironsharpensironradio .com.

This is Chris Arntzen, your host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, wishing you all a happy Monday on this third day of December 2018 and I am delighted that I have for the very first time on the program today Dr. Cliff Boone.

Dr. Cliff Boone is an author and the pastor of Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I had the privilege of meeting him at a Bible Fellowship Church pastors conference in the Poconos, I think it was about a year ago, where Phil Johnson, the executive director of Grace to You Ministries, was speaking.

That's the ministry of John MacArthur and was delighted to meet Dr. Boone and get to have an introduction to him and to find out about his book that we are addressing today, Christ Victorious, how to experience Christ's victory over the devil in your everyday life and it's my honor and privilege to welcome you for the very first time to Iron.

Sharpens Iron Radio, Dr. Cliff Boone. Well thank you Chris. Great, well before we go into the.

Subject at hand, since you are a first-time guest, what we normally do is when we have a first-time guest is we have them. Start off the program with a summary of their salvation testimony, what kind of religious atmosphere, if any, you were raised in and what providential circumstances.

Our sovereign Lord raised up in your life that drew you to himself and saved you? My dad was in the situations where... And how and when did you realize that you had a calling placed upon your.

Life, your heart by God to become a pastor? Yes, well that's another interesting story. So I was.

About halfway through my junior year in high school, I was just so... Yes, the host of the.

Yes, wasn't he the chaplain for the United States Senate or something or the Congress?

Exactly, and he came over from... And my grandmother who's... And that's also the gospel.

Well, now tell our listeners something about Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church in Allentown,.

Pennsylvania. Okay, yeah, we're in the nomination. Yeah, in fact I've had the privilege of interviewing.

A couple, at least, of your pastors. Josh Miller of the Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Harrisburg. Right. And also Ron Cole at the... Quaker Town. Yeah, where they have the Quaker Town Conference on Reform Theology.

Exactly, yes. And interviewed Ron on his victory over cancer, much to the... Or all to the praise, honor, and glory of God. And he's a dear, humble brother. I really enjoy.

Fellowshipping with him. Yes. Oh, wow. We're together. Great. Well, I would love to have him.

Back. And you can spread the word amongst your pastors in your denomination that I would be more than happy to interview any of them because I have nothing but the highest confidence, knowing of the theological background of the Bible Fellowship Church denomination, that I won't have any problems.

And if I have any disagreements, I'm sure they are minor. I'm going to give our listeners the email address for them to join us on the air with a question of their own, if they have one. It is chrisarnsen at gmail .com.

C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com. Please give us your first name, at least, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence, if you live outside of the USA. Please only remain anonymous if you have a personal and private question.

And obviously, with a subject like this, how to experience Christ's victory over the devil in your everyday life, you may have, or should I say we may have, some people who have personal and private questions because that is quite an intimately and personal subject, as well as a topic of theological discussion.

Right. So, first of all, tell us about what led you to write this book, to begin with Christ Victorious, how to experience Christ's victory over the devil in your everyday life. Yeah,.

Thank you. As I've... Can you tell us, can you describe that for us? Uh, there have been... Wow. Yeah. And what were those apparitions looking like? Yeah, I was just...

The Need to Address Demonic Activity Biblically

Yeah, the subject that we are addressing is either on one end of the spectrum, on the charismatic Pentecostal side of the spectrum, it's usually sensationalized, not by everybody in those movements, but very often, if not most often, when these issues of the demonic realm come up, they are sensationalized.

And then you have the other end of the spectrum, people in our circles of fellowship, theologically reformed, Calvinist, or even the fundamentalist circles, these are topics that are typically ignored.

So, it's always refreshing to hear a biblical subject that needs to be addressed, brought up in a truly biblical fashion, and not one for entertainment purposes, or to scare people into giving money, or whatever the case may be.

In fact, I don't know if you're familiar with a ministry called To Every Tribe, but they are a sovereign grace ministry dedicated to bringing the gospel into parts of the world that have not been evangelized.

And I have had an interview with someone who I believe was the president at one time, David Sitton, I don't believe he is currently the president, or the CEO, but Brother Sitton told me about some pretty frightening things that happened on the mission field, where he believed that he was actually witnessing genuine demonic supernatural activity and manifestations that were not the product of.

Trickery and that kind of thing. You're not here in America, do we? No, we don't.

We here in the United States and in the West, the Western world, we have so much preoccupation with battling those within the church that undermine the responsibility professing Christians and Christians in general need to take for their own sin, because of the fact of the easy-believism movement being so rampant in the Christian church at large, especially modern-day evangelicalism, that bringing up the demonic, even though it's a biblical subject, one very often feels like, well, are we going to be giving Christians another excuse not to take responsibility for their own sin?

You know, blaming the devil as Flip Wilson used to say, the devil made me do it. Yeah. So it's one of those things where, especially since actual demonic ritual practice and ceremony and religion is not nearly what it is in Africa and other parts of the world, we tend to relegate this subject to a lower rung of importance.

But I'm not saying that that's appropriate. I'm just saying that I think that very often we who are in circles that tend to ignore this issue are doing it because of the fact that we've got so much on our plate already trying to get people.

To take responsibility for their sin. We have to go to our first station break right now. If.

Anybody would like to join us on the air with a question of your own, our email address is chrisarnsen at gmail .com. Chrisarnsen at gmail .com. Please, as always, give us your first name, your city and state of residence, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.

Please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter. That's chrisarnsen at gmail .com. Chrisarnsen at gmail .com. Don't go away. We're going to be right back, God willing, right after these messages with Dr. Cliff Boone and Christ Victorious, how to experience Christ's victory over the devil in your everyday life.

Hi, I'm Stephan Lindblad, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at IRBS Theological Seminary in Mansfield, Texas. I accepted this call to teach at the seminary because I'm firmly convinced that the people of God in the churches of our Lord Jesus Christ need to be firmly grounded in the truth of Holy Scripture.

I'm excited to be teaching such subjects as the nature of theology and the doctrine of Scripture, and even the doctrine of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Our churches and our people need to be well-grounded in these truths.

Indeed, future ministers of the gospel need to understand these truths in order to proclaim them to all of God's people. If you want to learn more about our program, visit us online at irbsseminary .org.

Chris Sorensen, host of Iron Sharpens Iron Radio here. I want to tell you about a man I have personally known for many years. His name is Dan Buttafuoco. Dan has a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer, but not the type that typically comes to mind.

Dan cares about people and is a theologian himself. Recently, he wrote a book titled Consider the Evidence for the Bible. Ravi Zacharias wrote the foreword. Dan also has a master's degree in theology.

Dan handles serious injury and medical malpractice cases in all 50 states. He represents many Christians in serious injury matters all over the country. Dan is an exceptional trial lawyer. He wrote the test for the National Board of Trial Advocacy, and currently his firm has over 100 cases that have settled for $1 million or more, and in approximately 10 different states.

In Illinois, his lawyers had the fourth largest settlement in the state's history. In New York, his case involving a police officer made the front page of the Law Journal. If you have a serious personal injury or medical malpractice claim in any state, I recommend that you call Dan.

Consultations are free. There is no fee unless you win. Dan Buttafuoco's number is 1 -800 -669 -4878, 1 -800 -669 -4878, or email me for Dan's contact information at chrisarnsen at gmail .com. That's chrisarnsen at gmail .com.

My name is Steve Lawson, founder and president of One Passion.

Ministries, as well as teaching fellow for Ligonier Ministries. I serve as professor of preaching and oversee the doctor of ministry program at the Master's Seminary in Los Angeles. I would like to recommend the church where one of my preaching students, Andy Woodard, serves as the pastor.

It's called New Covenant Church, NYC. They are a Reformed Baptist church that meets in Midtown Manhattan. You can find their service times and location on their website, which is www .ncc .nyc. They believe in a sovereign God who commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the gospel.

If you're looking for a church that believes in expository preaching, which is simply biblical preaching, in New York City, I'd like to recommend that you visit New Covenant Church, NYC. Again, their information can be found at www .ncc .nyc.

Have a great day.

I'm so delighted I discovered Post-Tenebrous Lux Bible rebinding. No radio ad will be long enough to sing their praises sufficiently, but I'll give it a shot. Jeffrey Rice of Post-Tenebrous Lux is a remarkably gifted craftsman and artisan.

All his work is done by hand from the cutting to the pleating of corners to the perimeter stitching. Jeffrey uses the finest and buttery soft imported leathers in a wide variety of gorgeous colors, like the turquoise goat skin tanned in Italy used for my Nestle All-in -28 edition with a navy blue goat skin inside liner and the electric blue goat skin from a French tannery used to rebind a Reformation study Bible I used as a gift.

The silver gilding he added on the page edges has a stunning mirror finish resembling highly polished chrome. Jeffrey will customize your rebinding to your specifications and even emboss your logo into the leather, making whatever he rebinds a one-of-a-kind work of art.

We are discussing Christ Victorious, How to Experience Christ's Victory over the Devil in Your Everyday Life. That also happens to be the title of his new book. And we do have some listeners waiting to have their questions asked and answered.

If any of you would like to join them, our email address is chrizarnsen at gmail .com, c-h-r-i-s-a-r-n-z-e-n at gmail .com. Please give us your first name, city and state, and country of residence, if you live outside the USA.

Please only remain anonymous if your question involves a personal and private matter. And we do have Linda in Hilltop Lakes, Texas, who says, Brother Chris, my question for Dr. Boone is, children often have fears of the boogeyman in the night.

Is there any truth that this could be a demon? What would you suggest as an answer for this phenomenon? One pastor speaks at the boogeyman and says, oh, it's only you. Also, when missionaries first come to a foreign country, they often see much demonic activity in the area.

Then after the gospel is preached and souls are saved, one doesn't see demon possession as much as they used to. Salvation comes through believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Have you seen a correlation between the gospel and the lessening of demonic activity?

Thank you for tackling this very sensitive but.

Very real subject. Good question. I did begin to see what it could be. A coat on a coat rack. What's that? It could be a coat on a coat rack or anything. Yes, right, right. Sometimes, and that's the issue, is that, you know, there's a gentleman presentative reason.

Yeah, in fact,.

Right after this next question that I'll read, we'll do that. By the way, Linda, please make sure we have your full mailing address in Hilltop Lakes, Texas, because you have won a free copy of Christ Victorious, How to Experience Christ's Victory over the Devil in Your Everyday Life by Dr. Cliff Boone.

And thank you so much for being such a faithful and generous and loyal listener in the Iron Trumpets Iron Radio audience. We have Ted in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the question. And by the way, Ted, God willing, I'm going to be in your neck of the woods in 2019.

I'm going to be at the Deep South Founders Conference in Mississippi, Laurel, Mississippi, between January 21st and 27th, somewhere in those dates. And also in Alabama itself at the True Church Conference in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, February 14th through the 17th, I believe, of the dates.

But that's just a roundabout figure of the dates that I'm going to be in there. So keep that in mind if you want to go to either or both of those conferences. But Ted in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, says, I'm wondering if Pastor Boone can address the difficult question of how to decide when to bring a pastor or even a counselor who specializes in spiritual warfare into a situation in which a believer becomes convinced that they are being affected by demonic forces or whether that believer should best rebuke those forces and attempt to deal.

With the situation on their own. Okay, so in my opinion, and how to do that, and then the more they involve problems in some groups where they immediately grab a young man in our church and repeatedly lead him to resist the guy, he says, well, at early days, we pray in four.

I don't think there's anything else you need to add other than I'm assuming you would agree with me, though, that something that is that serious, whether or not it is actually demonic or not, if the person is believing that it's demonic, in a supernatural way, it must be serious, that this is not something that should be hidden from a pastor of a church that they are, whose care they are under.

I mean, that would be, to me, pretty ridiculous to not inform your.

Pastor about it, or your elders, plural. Yes, and I've had other pastors...

By the way, we got an email. It's not a question. It's just someone who wanted to say hi to you. He says, tell Cliff Boone that Harold Snyder says hi.

No kidding. That's amazing. Okay, and what I'm going to have you do is I'm going to have you.

Go into that twofold presentation that you were just mentioning. I'll have you do that when we return from our midway break, because we have to go to a midway break now. Okay. This is a longer than normal break.

Grace Life Radio, 90 .1 FM in Lake City, Florida, requires of us a longer break in the middle of our show, because they localize Zion Trip and Zion Radio to Lake City, Florida, with their own public service announcements and commercials.

So please be patient with us as we take this elongated break, and also use this time wisely by not only writing down questions for our guest, Dr. Cliff Boone, at chrisarnsen at gmail .com, C-H-R-I-S-A-R-N-Z-E-N at gmail .com, but also write down the information provided by our advertisers, so that you can more frequently and successfully patronize them.

The more you patronize our advertisers, the more likely they are going to remain our advertisers, and that means the more likely we are going to be able to remain on the air, because we depend upon the finances provided by our advertising sponsors in order to exist.

So please patronize our advertisers as much as you can, and write down the information during this break that they provide, so that you can more frequently and successfully do so. Don't go away, God willing, we will be right back after these messages from our sponsors, with more of Cliff Boone and Christ Victorious.

I'm Dr. Gary Kimbrough, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Laurel, Mississippi. God tells us in James 127 that pure and undefiled religion is a visit to fatherless and widows and their affliction. In the providence of God, three years ago, I discovered a poor small church outside Lusaka, Zambia, in a township called Cabanana, who are taking care of 24 orphans.

I found them just at the time when they had lost all their funding. What was I to do? Could I just say, God bless you, and walk away? The situation of the children set heavily upon me. As I was praying concerning this need, it came to me, I trust from the Lord, to tell the orphans' plight to a broader audience.

The entire need for their clothing, food, education, and some medical services is $73 per month per child. If just 50 of us would give $35 a month, we could meet the need. Bethlehem Baptist Church will pay the fee to get the funds there, so if you give a dollar, a dollar will get to the orphans.

In this season of hope and giving, will you consider giving hope to 24 orphans? Please send your gift of any amount to Bethlehem Baptist Church, 838 Reed Road, Laurel, Mississippi, 39443, or donate through our website, bbclaurel .com.

Again, the address is Bethlehem Baptist Church, 838 Reed Road, Laurel, Mississippi, 39443, or bbclaurel .com. Thank you.

Got to tell you, for my money, Chris Arnzen's radio program is just the best. Iron, criticizing iron. I think that's what it's called. This is Todd Friel of Wretched Radio and TV with Phil Johnson of Grace To You, inviting everybody to come to the G3 conference, which has almost instantly become one of the best conferences in the country.

And it is. It's a great conference. I love it. And Chris Arnzen was there last year. He's been there, I think, every year. It's great to see him there. You and I actually did some recordings in the lobby at that place, which is a highlight.

Tons of stuff going on. Tons of great speakers. And no matter where you are in the building, you will hear Chris Arnzen's laugh. And that's worth the price of admission alone. If you would like to join Phil, me, Chris, and a cavalcade of great preachers, so it should be a cavalcade of great preachers and me, G3conference .com, G3conference .com.

Hello, my name is James Renahan, and I'm the president of IRBS Theological Seminary in Mansfield, Texas. The Word of God says, if a man desires the office of an overseer, he desires a good thing. Do you have the desire to serve Jesus Christ in pastoral ministry?

Twenty years ago, the Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies at Westminster Seminary, California, was born. For those two decades, these institutions worked together to train men for ministry in Reformed Baptist churches.

It has been a wonderful partnership. Now, we have advanced our school into an independent seminary, offering a full program of courses leading to the Master of Divinity degree. This is IRBS Theological Seminary.

We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired and inerrant Word of God, that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh who came to save sinners by his life, death, and resurrection, and that the task of the church is to honor and serve the triune God in all things.

IRBS Theological Seminary is dedicated by God's grace to preparing godly ministers who will be committed to these doctrines. Do you sense a call to serve Jesus Christ in his church as a pastor? Why not consider IRBS Theological Seminary?

You'll find more information at irbsseminary .org. That's irbsseminary .org, two S's in the middle. I hope to hear from you soon.

On Iron Sharpener's Iron Radio. I would like to introduce you to my good friends Todd and Patty Jennings at CVBBS, which stands for Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service. Todd and Patty specialize in supplying Reformed and Puritan books and Bibles at discount prices that make them affordable to everyone.

Since 1987, the family-owned and operated book service has sought to bring you the best available Christian books and Bibles at the best possible prices. Unlike other book sites, they make no effort to provide every book that is available because, frankly, much of what is being printed is not worth your time.

That means you can get to the good stuff faster. It also means that you don't have to worry about being assaulted by the pornographic, heretical, and otherwise faith-insulting material promoted by the secular book vendors.

Their website is cvbbs .com. Browse the pages at ease, shop at your leisure, and purchase with confidence as Todd and Patty work in service to you, the Church, and to Christ. That's Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service at cvbbs .com.

That's cvbbs .com. Let Todd and Patty know that you heard about them on Iron Sharpener's Iron Radio.

And you can call cvbbs .com Monday through Friday between 10 a .m. and 4 .30 p .m. Eastern Time at their number, which I am going to be giving you any second. The toll-free number is 800 -656 -0231, 800 -656 -0231.

Mention Chris Arnzen and Iron Sharpener's Iron Radio and purchase a minimum of $50 worth of merchandise, and you will receive absolutely free of charge the book Always Reforming by David Engelsma. They also want you to know that they are having a Christmas sale where they are taking 10 off everything in the store.

So please take advantage of that holiday sale at cvbbs .com or by calling 800 -656 -0231, 800 -656 -0231 Monday through Friday, 10 a .m. to 4 .30 p .m. Eastern Time. Of course, you could order online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We have a few special announcements of special events coming up that we hope that you take advantage of and to get your pen and paper ready to write down the information. First of all, tomorrow we're going to be discussing a cult known as the Black Hebrew Israelites.

Perhaps some of you who especially live in the inner city, I know that I have encountered them in New York City on several occasions, but they are a growing phenomenon, the Black Hebrew Israelites. We're going to be discussing them with author Vocab Malone on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio tomorrow, God willing, 4 to 6 p .m. Eastern Time.

So make sure you mark your calendar for tomorrow and listen to that program and get your questions ready for author Vocab Malone. Also coming up next month in January, there are some events that I will be attending where I will be also manning an Iron Sharpens Iron exhibitors booth and I hope that you can join me there.

The first is an organization that I am running myself. It is my biannual Iron Sharpens Iron Radio pastor's luncheon and every man in ministry leadership is welcome whether you are a pastor or an elder, which I actually think are the same office from what the scriptures teach, but some churches have those distinct offices, but if you are a pastor, an elder, a deacon, a parachurch ministry leader, you are welcome as long as you are a man in those offices.

This is exclusively a men's luncheon and so if you'd like to join us that day for this free luncheon, which will be Thursday, January 3rd, 11 a .m. to 2 p .m. at the Carlisle Fire and Rescue banquet hall, just send me an email to chrisarnson at gmail .com.

Please give us your name and church and so on and we'll put you down on the list. In fact, I hope that my guest Dr. Cliff Boone attends and invites as many pastors within the Bible Fellowship Church denomination as he possibly can.

It's absolutely free of charge. I said every man there will receive not only a free lunch, but you will receive at least one, but perhaps even two, heavy sacks of brand new books that have been donated by major Christian publishers all over the United States and the United Kingdom.

Every year these publishers are generous enough to give me 100 copies each of a title I select from each publisher that I think will bless the men in leadership in attendance at my luncheons. The vast majority of the major publishers in the United States and the United Kingdom comply eagerly with my requests and I have been doing so since the 1990s.

So I hope you'll take advantage of that. That will be absolutely free of charge. There is nothing for sale at my luncheons. That was the insistence of my late wife Julie, who started these luncheons in the 1990s out of the generosity of her beautiful heart.

She wanted me to treat men in ministry that I knew personally to pastor's luncheons and this grew into an extremely large event where I eventually had to get corporate sponsorship to help me. So this will be once again a tribute to my late wife Julie, now spending an eternity with Christ.

Our speaker for the second time at my luncheons is Dr. Tony Costa, professor of apologetics and Islam at Toronto Baptist Seminary, and I am looking forward to that very much. He is a wonderfully gifted speaker and a very wonderful brother in Christ.

So send me an email to chrisarnson at gmail .com if you'd like to attend the January 3rd free pastor's luncheon sponsored by Iron Trip and Radio. And then immediately following that, from Friday the 4th of January through Sunday the 6th of January, I have organized a three-day conference also featuring Dr. Tony Costa of Toronto Baptist Seminary that will be held at the Enola First Church of God in Enola, Pennsylvania, where my friend, my dear friend Dr. George, I'm sorry, Pastor George Jensen is the pastor, and the theme will be the greatest threats against the Christian church in North America in the 21st century.
