[00:00] 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,080 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,080 Jesus is dealing with these Pharisees again who are harassing him even when he does good works, and he heals a man who was dumb and gave him his speech back, and they say that it is by the power of Beelzebul the

[00:29] prince of demons that 2 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,320 he drives out demons. 3 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:43,040 2 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,320 That's a tough one. 4 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,639 3 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:43,040 The Devil is driving out himself through Jesus. 4 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,639 It's like insulting somebody, calling them a name, just throwing out, "oh you're

[00:45] a demon, you're a bad name," because they can't think of anything else to say, but 5 00:00:45,639 --> 00:00:50,720 this is something that Jesus has to deal with because it's convincing some of the people. 6 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,439 5 00:00:45,639 --> 7 00:00:56,439

[01:01] --> 00:01:01,639 00:00:50,720 Well, if I'm driving out demons by Beelzebul, who are your people driving them out by? 6 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,439 What's the difference? 7 00:00:56,439 8 00:01:01,639 --> 00:01:11,839 --> 00:01:01,639 But if it's by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the power of God is; the kingdom of God is among you. 8 00:01:01,639 --> 00:01:11,839 That's the expression that the two magicians used when Moses was doing the ten plagues, the first, after the first two or three, the magicians Jamnes—two guys' names started with a J, Jannes and Jamnes, I think Jambres—they imitated the water being changed into blood and the

[01:20] multiplication of the frogs to some extent, but when Moses brought about all the gnats, they 9 00:01:11,839 --> 00:01:20,680 couldn't imitate that and they couldn't imitate the future, the following plagues, and they said this 10 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,919 is by the finger of God that Moses is doing these plagues; we can't imitate them. 9 00:01:11,839 --> 00:01:20,680 So our Lord has this power of God to cast out Satan and establish his kingdom. 10 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,919 This is part of our Christian life, to keep casting out Satan, to keep casting out demons from ourselves and from the world by our good works, and this is how we are gathering for Jesus and when we don't gather for Jesus, we scatter; we 11 00:01:26,919 --> 00:01:28,760 scatter the good work that our Lord is trying to do in our lives and we gather, we gather through prayer, we gather through good works, we gather through working with our Lord to establish his kingdom stronger and stronger. 11 00:01:26,919 --> 00:01:28,760 Our Lord is 12 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,440 the strong man who

[01:37] casts out Satan through us, through our good works and through our efforts to do his will, and we can be free, free 13 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,120 from the power

[01:57] of evil from the world, and it is turning to Jesus that does that. 12 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,440 Jesus is the strong 14 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:46,199 one in us and we

[02:16] can, we can help him to establish his kingdom in 15 00:01:46,199 --> 00:01:57,879 our lives and in the lives of others. 13 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,120 Jesus is the 16 00:01:57,879

[02:31] --> 00:02:05,800 strong one in us and we can help him to establish his kingdom in our lives 17 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:16,119 and in the lives of others. 14 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:46,199 That's the expression that the 18

[02:51] 00:02:16,119 --> 00:02:24,600 two magicians used when Moses was doing the ten plagues, 15 00:01:46,199 --> 00:01:57,879 19 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:31,360 the first, after the first two or three, the magicians Jamnes, two guys'

[03:07] names started 16 00:01:57,879 20 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:05,800 with a J, 21 00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:43,839 Jannes and Jamnes, I think Jambres, they imitated the water being changed into 17 00:02:05,800 --> 22 00:02:43,839 --> 00:02:51,600 00:02:16,119 blood and the multiplication of the frogs to some extent, but

[03:30] when Moses brought about 18 23 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:59,479 00:02:16,119 --> 00:02:24,600 all the gnats, they couldn't imitate that and they couldn't imitate the future, the 19 24 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:07,800 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:31,360 following plagues, and they said this is by the finger of God that 25 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:14,919 Moses is doing these 20 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,279 plagues,

[04:14] we can't imitate them. 21 00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:43,839 So 26 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:21,839 our Lord has this power of God to cast out Satan and establish his kingdom. 27 00:03:21,839 --> 00:03:30,479 22 00:02:43,839 --> 00:02:51,600 This is part of our Christian life, to keep casting out Satan, 28 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:37,960 to keep casting out demons 23 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:59,479 from ourselves and from the world by our good works, 29 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,679 and this is how we are gathering for 24 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:07,800 Jesus and when we don't gather 30 00:03:44,679 --> 00:03:56,839 for Jesus, we scatter, we scatter the good work that 25 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:14,919 our Lord is trying to do in our lives 31 00:04:14,679 --> 00:04:24,839 and we gather, we gather through prayer, we gather 26 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:21,839 through good works, we gather through working with our Lord to establish his kingdom stronger 27 00:03:21,839 --> 00:03:30,479 and stronger, our Lord is the strong man who casts out Satan through us, through our 28 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:37,960 good works and through our efforts to do his will and we can be free, free from the power 29 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,679 of evil from the world and it is turning to Jesus that does that, Jesus is the strong 30 00:03:44,679 --> 00:03:56,839 one in us and we can, we can help him to establish his kingdom in our lives and in the lives of others. 31 00:04:14,679 --> 00:04:24,839 Jesus is the strong one in us and we can help him to establish his kingdom in our lives and in the lives of others.
