What Is Spiritual Warfare Biblically?

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,600
All right, we have one more
episode on the Colts.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,040
Yeah.
Gotcha.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,840
You probably got another one.
Yeah, actually we have just come

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,080
off of two on Presup.
So.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,800
That one hit we, we recorded,
we're we're, we're recording

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,800
fairly in advance at this point.
In time so good I've got some

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,960
summer and you you're are you
traveling on June I assume?

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Yeah, the one that just hit the
other day, it was like talking

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,120
about, oh, it's Easter.
And I was like, man, that's been

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080
forever ago.
It is crazy.

11
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,360
We we've really done a good job.
I'm sure we'll lose all our

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,920
progress this summer anyway, but
it's how it goes, you know, Got

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,880
to get after it.
So this episode, I, I don't know

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,520
what it was, I was driving along
listening to something and I

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,440
just was like sparked like we
need to do an episode on

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,000
spiritual warfare.
And this is probably a couple of

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:56,880
months ago because the the
context was, it's always this

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,440
idea of this active, almost
physical struggle against

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,560
spirits and these binding and
loosenings.

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,760
And I was like, some of that
stuff is in the New Testament.

21
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:15,600
I think the larger view of
spiritual warfare is different.

22
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,920
And I thought maybe we should
just, we should just look into

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,880
that.
Oh, I'm excited for it because I

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,600
do think you mentioned spiritual
warfare to 10 people.

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,960
You might get 10 different
answers or different shades.

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,440
And it's like, what are we
talking about?

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Because it is a biblical
reality.

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,520
It's good to know what we're
talking about.

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,960
And I love looking at your
notes.

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
There's my favorite thing about
like doing doing like a

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,360
recording or something because I
love like framing the question.

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,200
Like you start big and you're
given the parameters.

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,400
I'm excited.
What's this episode not about

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,080
'cause you could easily like,
delve into stuff that's not the

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,200
focus.
That's right.

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,800
And so we're not here saying
that spiritual warfare didn't

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,040
happen, that, you know, there
weren't real interactions with

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840
demons.
Those things did happen.

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,080
But we're really asking the
question, was this descriptive?

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Was it prescriptive?
And then what's the main idea?

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,640
So we're going to get into all
of that after we take it to the

42
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:18,080
next level.
Let's fire up that twangy music.

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,560
From the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,880
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,080
level.
All right.

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,760
So Zach, as you mentioned
framing the question, we do see

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,200
a dark demonic presence in a New
Testament.

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Not going to deny that.
That's good, that's good.

49
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,200
We're not denying that.
In fact, I just preached through

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,920
Jude and talks about angels that
were reserved for, you know, out

51
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,000
of darkness.
So we're not denying that we see

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,880
the reality of demons.
Passages like Mark 424, Mark

53
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:05,440
134, Jesus casting demons out,
some of those same passages.

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Luke 11:20.
We even see the apostles

55
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
encounter folks with demonic
powers.

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Acts 1616 through 18.
I always like the one where, you

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,320
know, the seven brothers trying
to cast it like we know Jesus,

58
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840
we know Paul, we don't know you
all and like, you know, beat

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,800
them and they had to like walk
home naked or something.

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Like that wounded to naked man.
Crazy, crazy stuff.

61
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,600
So what we really wanted to ask
ourselves is, do we have a

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,440
command as Christians and we
want to distinguish between

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
descriptive passages and
prescriptive.

64
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640
That's such a good distinction
because if you've read

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,400
everything as purely
prescriptive, things get wild.

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,320
If you read everything that's
purely descriptive, you don't do

67
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,160
anything right.
Yeah.

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,120
So it's good.
It's good.

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,920
It's good to nail these down.
Right, That's good.

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,560
So spiritual warfare is real.
It includes demonic oppression.

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,240
But the New Testament's primary
focus on dealing with that is

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,720
honing in on what truth is
living holy separate lives,

73
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,920
faith in Christ, faith in the
Gospel, prayer, and then a

74
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,880
spirit LED living where we are
really putting to death the the

75
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,440
deeds of the flesh.
Yeah, and I, I think that is

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,800
such good to focus on is like,
where is the Bible's focus, the

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,720
New Testament's focus?
Because, you know, some people,

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,440
some people it's like way out of
whack where you're like, wow,

79
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,160
it's not about these things as
much.

80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,960
And it's really about you hear
these stories, you're like,

81
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880
you're having a whole like these
services were like, you're like,

82
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,720
hey, what's your team?
Get up here, We're going to cast

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,800
this out.
That's crazy.

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,080
So Jill and I could tell you, we
went to back in Arkansas, we had

85
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,960
these things called Encounter.
We would go every December down

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,240
to the Excelsior Hotel in Little
Rock, AR.

87
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,520
One time we packed so many
people on that hotel elevator,

88
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
it started sinking and there was
a person who was about to get on

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,360
or get off and like they had to
like like literally almost like

90
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,320
cutting half type stuff.
And I was at the back like I was

91
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,080
not part of the shenanigans.
Like I was there And then people

92
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,840
started piling on, piling on.
And I was like, let me out of

93
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,240
here.
I was.

94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560
And so we, we were on the 1st
floor.

95
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,920
We slowly sunk down to the
bottom floor.

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600
The to the garage floor and I
was like, I don't care what

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,320
y'all do, I'm getting out of
here, just let me know.

98
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,880
But anyways, we were at that
conference one time and one of

99
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,040
our speakers threw some
crackling in the the speakers

100
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,400
and the the the speaker, the
talker.

101
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Oh yeah, cast the demons out of
the physical, you know?

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Sometimes you got to mid sermon.
And it it stopped.

103
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,200
It was really weird.
We're all like, what's going on,

104
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,720
ass.
Amazing.

105
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,120
And and even if you like, if you
like what's Marcel Mark

106
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Driscoll, he would have like
similar like he would have like

107
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Saturday night where like people
would come and he would like

108
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,080
cast out demons and stuff like
that.

109
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,440
Like, I can't remember what they
called it, but, you know, it's

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760
like I command you the name of
Christ and then, you know,

111
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760
you're not going to, you know,
these things are very dramatic

112
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,200
and a very big deal and was part
of why he was, you know, so

113
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
popular because he was, you
know, confronting Satan and this

114
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,440
this kind of.
Stuff that's good.

115
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,360
I mean, that's a good example.
So we were just kind of talking

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,600
to this before we started
recording.

117
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,040
Would, would we ever, you know,
try to cast out a demon?

118
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,640
Perhaps I would if I saw real
evidence of some type of demonic

119
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,000
oppression or demonic, you know,
what's the world word that I'm

120
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,680
looking for, man?
When you are possessed,

121
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,040
possessed possession, then then
yeah.

122
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,520
But curiously, we never have a
command in the New Testament

123
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:02,160
that I'm aware of.
If I am missing one, please let

124
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,360
me know.
But never do we have a command

125
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,400
to cast out demons.
And we do have a lot of commands

126
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,840
for these other things You said,
Owen, is faith, prayer, spirit

127
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:09,720
of living truth.
That's right.

128
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Yeah.
So that is instructive.

129
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Yeah.
Right.

130
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,920
In fact, the the folks that
Jesus cast out in Matthew 7,

131
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,120
they say, haven't we cast out
demons in your name?

132
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,000
That's one of the one of the
works.

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Not that not not that I would
say that that means you're

134
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,360
right, but it's something that
they give all right.

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,720
So giving exorcism is proper
place reality.

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Jesus, he did cast out spirits
Matthew 816 and other places.

137
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
And then he says, if I cast out
demons and the Kingdom of God

138
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560
has come upon you.
And we do see some of the

139
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,680
apostles participate in this.
There was a time they came back

140
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,720
like we couldn't cast this one
out, and he cast it out and he's

141
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,680
like, what's the difference is
like this one only comes out

142
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,160
with prayer and fasting.
So there are records of this,

143
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,800
but it seems to settle down
after kind of the middle way of

144
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800
acts, you know?
Yeah, it's interesting that

145
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,320
there is a time point where
things turn.

146
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,720
You're not reading a lot of
Paul's epistles and it's saying

147
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,440
like, put off bitterness, put on
demon casting out demons.

148
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Like it's not like that.
Yeah.

149
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Yeah.
So as you mentioned, you know,

150
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,480
these things tended to
authenticate Christ ministry.

151
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,240
You know, you had like the the
guy and the the tombs and he's

152
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,680
like kind of come with you like
no, but be a witness to the the

153
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,360
the 10 cities, the the
capitalist.

154
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,440
I believe that's where that
happened.

155
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,960
There's other places where this
happened.

156
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480
It also demonstrates, you know,
the Kingdom invasion.

157
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,080
So this idea, you know, if Clay
were here, he'd be big on this.

158
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,880
But you know, these this idea of
these like watchers or, you

159
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040
know, maybe leftover Nephilim
spirits or whatever happens,

160
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,200
whatever these beings happen to
be, the fact that Jesus is

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,840
coming there to inaugurate his
Kingdom, he's going to fully

162
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,880
consummate this Kingdom in in
the future at some point in

163
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,160
time, But it's at least
inaugurating his Kingdom here.

164
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,240
And he is inveighing on the
spiritual forces.

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,920
If we read, you know, Ephesians
2, Paul would say that we are

166
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,680
all slaves to the principalities
of the air.

167
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,160
And you know, there's other
verses that talk about, you

168
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,400
know, those people owning this.
So we see as Jesus comes on to

169
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,160
the scene, he is pushing back
against that reality.

170
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,080
So I think that those are are
there, but as we mentioned,

171
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,160
they're not turned in commands
for ordinary Christian life.

172
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000
So that's not like something we
should, I think ordinarily

173
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,400
expect in our lives.
I see you looking something up

174
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,760
you got there.
Yeah, So we might get to this

175
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,400
later.
It just came to my mind.

176
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,000
It's when we're in, if you're in
James, I think this is like as

177
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,120
you progress to the Bible, he's
talked about who's wise, who's

178
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,160
understanding.
He says, you know, if you're

179
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,840
bitter, jealousy, selfish
ambition, you boast, you're

180
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,520
false to the truth.
That's not wisdom that comes

181
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,520
from above, but that's demonic.
Like he says that's demonic, is

182
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,080
boasting and being false to the
truth, which is not the kind of

183
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000
demon demonic influence you see
in the Gospels where you do see

184
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200
you start as you go down.
I just love that because he's

185
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,080
saying that that's what demon
activity looks like.

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Yeah, that's that's very good.
So did you ever have a WWJD

187
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,360
bracelet?
I know you had 10/15 right?

188
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Allen Iverson war is so cool.
Yeah, man, that's.

189
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Great, that's great.
But sometimes that's not

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240
necessarily the best question
because guess what?

191
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,760
We're not Jesus.
We're not the God man Jesus.

192
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,680
The things that that we're not
necessarily called the do.

193
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,760
So it's really not what did or
Jesus do or what would Jesus do,

194
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,960
but what are relievers told to
do.

195
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,400
So let's look at our central
passage that we would find on,

196
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,040
you know, kind of the spiritual
warfare.

197
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,520
I see you turn into that.
We'll just accept it in the ESV

198
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,240
if you want to read that for us.
Ephesians 610 through 18 all.

199
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,040
Right, let's do it.
Finally, be strong in the Lord,

200
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,400
and in the strength of His
might.

201
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand

202
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,160
against the schemes of the
devil.

203
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:04,400
For we don't wrestle against
flesh and blood, but against the

204
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,080
rulers, against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers, over

205
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
this present darkness, against
the spiritual forces of evil in

206
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,520
the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole

207
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200
armor of God, that you may be
able to withstand in the evil

208
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520
day.
And having done all to stand

209
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,640
firm.
Stand therefore, having fastened

210
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,200
on the belt of truth, and having
put on the breastplate of

211
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600
righteousness, and as shoes for
your feet, having put on the

212
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,760
readiness given by the gospel of
peace and all circumstances,

213
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,800
take up the shield of faith,
with which you can distinguish

214
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,120
all the flaming darts of the
evil. 1 And take the helmet of

215
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,600
salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of

216
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480
God, praying at all times in the
Spirit with all prayer and

217
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160
supplication to that end.
Keep alert with all

218
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,600
perseverance, making
supplication for all the Saints.

219
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,080
I do I do miss the King James
saying, the Wiles of the devil.

220
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,560
I.
Love that I go Wiley Coyote.

221
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,040
All right, so key command out of
what you just read was to stand,

222
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,520
be strong in the strength of the
Lord, put on the full armor, be

223
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000
able to stand against the
schemes of the devil, having

224
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,200
done everything to stand firm,
lots of standing there.

225
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,360
So this idea of standing up
against it.

226
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,640
And then we see a, you know,
this description of the nature

227
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,120
of the battle.
Our struggle is not against

228
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,720
flesh and blood.
And then we have, but it's

229
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,240
actually against rulers,
authorities, Prince of powers of

230
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,760
darkness and spiritual forces.
So, yeah, we're not denying the

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,240
reality of, you know, dark
spiritual forces in the

232
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080
spiritual warfare.
But then the method that we

233
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,040
stand against them is not
through exorcism or incantation

234
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,320
or a binding or loosening, but
it's actually through this

235
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,040
armor.
Because this is where you would

236
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,720
expect, because it's talking
explicitly.

237
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400
It's like what I was saying, and
James is more explicit here,

238
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,680
that you would think this would
be like the prime opportunity

239
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:53,200
for Paul to slide us in.
It's exactly right.

240
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,560
And so the very first thing that
Paul says you need is the belt

241
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,000
of truth.
And maybe we're making more out

242
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,360
of this because, but I, I've
heard people say, you know, for

243
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,240
the Roman soldier, the belt was
what basically kept everything

244
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,320
together.
And if you didn't have the belt,

245
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,800
then all your, you know, stuff
would, will fall apart.

246
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440
But it's like you would gird up
with the truth.

247
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,160
And if you don't know the truth,
then you're very susceptible to

248
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,200
the lies.
Of like, that's so foundational,

249
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,880
yeah.
And you can see you look out at

250
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,400
the world.
It's like man, when people are

251
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,560
just like, not in reality.
It's like man, you have no

252
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,040
foundation.
Yeah, and there's this great

253
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,680
podcaster.
You all should give them a

254
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:33,800
listen sometime.
But Greg Koval has said that

255
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,200
when you see your an entire
culture buy into some lie, he's

256
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,840
like, that's spiritual warfare.
That is where, you know, we're

257
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,360
losing the belt of truth.
And we could name a lot of

258
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,480
different things, you know, a
lot of the LGBTQ stuff,

259
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,320
especially the TT stuff with
the, you know, the different

260
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,520
genders and stuff like our
culture has by and large.

261
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,400
You know, I think we're starting
to swing a little bit away from

262
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,680
that, bought into this lie that,
you know, there's no difference

263
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,400
between male and female.
That's spiritual warfare at at

264
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,960
its finest.
All right, so the belt of truth,

265
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240
the breastplate of
righteousness.

266
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,640
If you are living in sin, even
if you're a believer, you're

267
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
going to be more susceptible to
believing in lies.

268
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,320
Not, you know, so always been
told, you know, keep a short

269
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,920
account.
No one's going to be sinless.

270
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,000
That's right.
But, you know, recognize your

271
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,080
sin, hate your sin for what it
is.

272
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Find less pleasure in your sin.
Find more love for for Christ,

273
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,520
but practical daily living and
what's right.

274
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,160
You know those Acts 242 dynamics
will help as you try to live

275
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080
righteously, and living
righteously will help you with

276
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,880
guard some of the attacks that
might come your way.

277
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,080
That's great.
It's like truth living

278
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
righteously.
It's like not earth shattering

279
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,440
stuff, but you can see if you're
not nailing these things, you

280
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,200
can make mistakes, but you're
not getting everything right.

281
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,440
But it's like, man, this, this
just sets you up right to be in

282
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
in good footing.
And this almost like a put off,

283
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,320
put on, yeah, if you're sharing
the gospel, like if you're

284
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,720
actively out there saying here's
my hope, I think it kind of

285
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,000
helps you.
If you're putting on the sharing

286
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040
of the gospel, I think it kind
of helps put off some of those

287
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,680
things that are like anti
gospel.

288
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,640
But yeah, Paul talks about, you
know, the shooting your feet

289
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,520
with the gospel of peace, like,
hey, let's be about proclaiming

290
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Christ to others.
And then lastly, or not lastly,

291
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,040
but the next one, shield of
faith, you know, extinguish all

292
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,920
the flaming arrows of the evil
1.

293
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,760
I think there's that's a little
more colorful in the King James

294
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,880
2.
Do you remember what that one

295
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,480
is?
Flaming fiery darts or

296
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,000
something.
Like that.

297
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,320
Yeah, something like that.
That's.

298
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Great.
But our faith can help us when

299
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,560
we, you know, encounter
accusations, we have doubts.

300
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,200
We have, you know, fears, you
know, there's some great

301
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,720
passages like the end of Romans.
It's like, you know, if God the

302
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,080
father gave his son for you,
what he's going to do all things

303
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,360
for you, all these things can
you know, so when we ground our

304
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,320
faith in the truth that we
already talked about, that can

305
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,920
really help us out.
Lastly is I keep saying lastly,

306
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,680
but it's not last the helmet of
salvation.

307
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800
So it it's going to, you know,
protects the mind.

308
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,320
You know, you see, maybe you can
look up first Test 5/8 as a

309
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,480
comparison here.
But the helmet is, you know, it

310
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,800
is protects the most vital part
of you, your head.

311
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,520
And so when you're saved and
you're sure of your salvation,

312
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,200
it can protect you against a lot
of bad things.

313
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Go ahead, you've got.
That First Thessalonians 58,

314
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,440
it's talking about the day of
the Lord, it says.

315
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,320
But since we belong to the day,
let us be sober, having put on

316
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,520
the breastplate of faith and
love, and for a helmet the hope

317
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,280
of salvation goes on to say, For
God has not destined us for

318
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,680
wrath, but to obtain salvation
through Christ, right.

319
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,000
So so if we have that final hope
in our final rescue, it can help

320
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520
us to withstand lastly, the sort
of the spirit.

321
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,960
It's the word of God, the only
offensive weapon.

322
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,480
Probably you've heard that many
times Jesus quotes Scripture,

323
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,960
rightly interpreted back to
Satan, who's twisting Scripture.

324
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,200
And then he ends this.
I don't know if we read all of

325
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,040
this, but he ends basically
saying, pray on my behalf that,

326
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,040
you know, I'll have the words to
speak and that I'll, you know,

327
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,200
open my mouth with boldness and
be able to, you know, boldly

328
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480
proclaim the gospel.
You think of Paul, one of the

329
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,680
greatest apostles, like, hey, I
need you to pray for me so that

330
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720
I can be faithful to the gospel
message.

331
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,720
So those are the things that,
you know, you should be focusing

332
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120
on if you feel like you're under
spiritual warfare.

333
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,920
Yeah.
What's what's the truth?

334
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,200
You know, am I living
righteously?

335
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,360
Am I living by faith that do I
have a hope in my ultimate

336
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,640
salvation?
You know, am I praying all all?

337
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Those things boring.
It's too easy, Michael.

338
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,400
I want to cast out demons.
I want to do something awesome.

339
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,120
Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Well, these are, these are

340
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,840
awesome.
And I would say in a sense, you

341
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,040
are casting out their foothold
in their life.

342
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:03,520
Yeah, but it's not like this
single, you know, magic time.

343
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,960
It's, you know, this daily walk.
How about James 4?

344
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,640
Seven through 10.
I love it.

345
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,480
I can't wait to I I love it.
I love the terminology.

346
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,960
You can tell a lot about someone
and maybe their denominational

347
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240
affiliation were there if
they're talking about I'm going

348
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,880
to rebuke Satan or you know,
like all these things.

349
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,160
James 4 seven through 10 says,
submit yourselves therefore to

350
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,600
God.
Resist the devil and he will

351
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,280
flee from you.
Draw near to God and he'll draw

352
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,440
near to you.
Cleanse your your hands, you

353
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,640
sinners and purify your hearts.
You double minded.

354
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,200
Be wretched and mourn and weep.
Let your laughter be turned to

355
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,400
mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourself before the Lord

356
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,480
and He will exalt you all.
Right, very good.

357
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,800
So key things, submitting to
God, resisting the devil, the

358
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600
devil's going to flee.
God will draw near to you,

359
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,400
cleanse your hands, probably
talking about repentance and

360
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,600
living, you know, life where he
talked about purifying your

361
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,240
hearts, humble yourselves.
So those are, you know, like you

362
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240
said, not necessarily flashy,
but they're the things that can

363
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,000
help you walk first.
Peter, 5/8 through 9.

364
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:21,960
Great first Peter 5 8 through 9
says if I can find in my I see 7

365
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,160
and I see nine here's 8.
Be sober minded, be watchful.

366
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,160
Your adversary, the devil,
prowls a lot round like a

367
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,360
roaring lion seeking someone to
devour.

368
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Resist him firm in your faith,
knowing that the same kinds of

369
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,280
suffering are being experienced
by your brotherhood throughout

370
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,200
the world.
All right, so we see this

371
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
repeated idea resisting, not
necessarily rebuking or binding,

372
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,280
but hey, resisting him.
And he starts us off by being

373
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,160
sober minded, being watchful.
And the reason we do that is

374
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,640
because the devil.
So, you know, if we are sober

375
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,960
minded and we would probably
call to mind all those things

376
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,680
that we've been talking about,
then that can help.

377
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,800
We should know.
And our faith.

378
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,240
While our adversary prowls
around, he is he's bound on a

379
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,440
chain.
He's bound on a chain.

380
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Sorry, call back.
Sorry, yeah, we call back to our

381
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,320
all mill and really more of the
post mill folks.

382
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,280
Yeah, that that's so crazy
because to resist it is mental

383
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,120
clarity, being aware and then
being firm in your faith.

384
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:26,080
It it is simple, I mean hard to
carry out, but the formula is

385
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,160
simple.
Yeah, I I've been making you

386
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,640
read all these.
Let me see if I I can find one.

387
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:40,480
Chris's Second Corinthians 10.
And verses 3/3 through 4:00 and

388
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,080
5:00.
All right, I will get there. 10

389
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,160
minutes.
All right.

390
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,040
For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war according to the

391
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,560
flesh, for the weapons are are
of our warfare are not of the

392
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,000
flesh, but divinely powerful for
the destruction of fortresses.

393
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,040
All right, so right there you
go.

394
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Wow, we have some weapons that
are taking down fortresses.

395
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,560
But then if you read the next
ones, we are destroying

396
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,640
speculations and every lofty
thing raised up against the

397
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,800
knowledge of God and we are
taking every thought captive to

398
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,840
the obedience of Christ.
And I'll just keep reading Verse

399
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,360
6 says, and we are ready to
punish all disobedience whenever

400
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:26,680
your obedience is complete.
So you you get this language

401
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,280
which you might be thinking, oh,
we're about to get some magical

402
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,000
swords, right?
But then what Paul says is that

403
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,800
we're taking speculations and
thoughts captive against the

404
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,320
knowledge of God.
And so really, it is a battle of

405
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,760
the mind going right back to our
idea of, you know, the truth and

406
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,160
and falsehoods.
And that, that, that's so good.

407
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,440
This, you know, goes right in
line with Romans 12/2.

408
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,200
You know, we're renewing our
mind in Colossians.

409
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,200
We're told to set your mind on
things that are above that.

410
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,480
That kind of meditation,
dwelling on the word that that's

411
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,320
so important because at the very
heart is a, you know, what's

412
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,720
against spiritual, and that is
spiritual warfare against

413
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,280
demonic forces.
All right, our next section is

414
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,440
spiritual warfare as
sanctification.

415
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,200
I'll grab the Romans passage.
If you want to grab the

416
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:22,200
Galatians passage, I'm turning
to Romans 8 verses 12 through

417
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:29,080
14, and that reads, So then
brethren, we are under

418
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,280
obligation not to the flesh, to
live according to the flesh.

419
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,560
For if you are living according
to the flesh, you must die.

420
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,000
But if by the Spirit you are
putting to death the deeds of

421
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,600
the body, you will live.
For all who are being led by the

422
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,440
Spirit of God, these are sons of
God.

423
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,360
So when we talk about being led
by the Spirit of God, really we

424
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:54,560
are talking about this idea of
putting to death the deeds of

425
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,080
the flesh and that is just
living according to what you

426
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,920
know the fruit of the Spirit is.
And so that think that's a good

427
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,800
lead into your passage.
Yeah, I love it.

428
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,640
And I don't know if this is the
King James that Romans 812 you

429
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,120
always see John Owen writes the
mortification of synodeth.

430
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,360
I like that word mortification.
That's good, that's good.

431
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:15,920
Galatians 516 and 17 says, But I
say, walk by the Spirit, and you

432
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,280
will not gratify the desires of
the flesh.

433
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,040
For the desires of the flesh are
against the Spirit, and the

434
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,080
desires of the spirit are
against the flesh.

435
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,800
For these are opposed to each
other to keep you from doing the

436
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,520
things you want to do.
Great, so we see our fleshly

437
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:37,560
nature and catch our recent
episode on how to not read your

438
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,400
Bible.
Where?

439
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,840
We talk about flesh can be more
than one things, but this is

440
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,200
clearly flesh is standing in for
our sinful evil nature and it is

441
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,240
opposed to the spirit, IE of
living a spirit filled life.

442
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,880
And that goes right into 522
through 25.

443
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,440
You want to read those?
But the fruit of the Spirit is

444
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,240
Lovejoy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness,

445
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,000
faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control.

446
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,320
Against such things there is no
law, and those who belong to

447
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,960
Christ Jesus have justified the
flesh with its passions and

448
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,000
desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us

449
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,800
also keep in step with the
Spirit.

450
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,640
Let us not become conceited,
provoking one another, envying

451
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,040
one another.
After a short pause to iron out

452
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,680
our passages so Zach is going to
read to us a passage from James.

453
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Great James 114 But each person
is tempted when he is lured and

454
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,600
enticed by his own desire.
Then desire, when it has

455
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,680
conceived, gives birth to sin,
and sin, when it is fully grown,

456
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,960
bring forth death.
It's not what you wanted me to

457
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,080
read.
It is OK.

458
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:45,040
OK, yeah, so we see that out of
our own desire, sometimes we are

459
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,600
drawn into sin and our passions.
Passions.

460
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,600
And then also I want to read
Ephesians 2 starting verse one

461
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,760
through 3.
And these also lines out for us.

462
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,840
You know, we classically look at
this as talking about people who

463
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,840
are lost, but I think it lines
out for us kind of three fronts

464
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,720
of spiritual warfare.
Paul says, and you were dead in

465
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,800
your trespasses and sins in
which you formally walked

466
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,400
according to the course of this
world, according to the Prince

467
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,360
of power, of the heir of the
spirit that is now working in

468
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:24,400
the sons of disobedience.
Among them too, among them.

469
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,520
We too all formerly lived in the
lusts of our flesh and indulging

470
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,040
in the desires of our flesh and
of the mind.

471
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,360
And we're by nature children of
wrath, even as the rest.

472
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840
So hopefully you saw out there
kind of three big places.

473
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,680
You talked about our own
desires.

474
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
He's going to pick up that
again, the devil kind of the

475
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,120
Prince and power, power of the
air and then of the world

476
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:50,640
itself, like the worldly systems
and then our own desires.

477
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,680
So on those three different
fronts, we see different methods

478
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,520
for, you know, how they might
work.

479
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,600
We see the devil deceiving in
Genesis, he's accusing in

480
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,960
Revelation 12, he's tempting
Jesus and Matthew.

481
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,200
So those are three kind of
basis.

482
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,160
We see the world as a system
that's opposed to God.

483
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,720
First, John 215 through 16 talks
about the lust of the flesh, the

484
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,040
lust of the eyes, the pride of
life, those three things.

485
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,720
And then the flesh.
We've talked about, you know,

486
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,760
this internal corruption, our
sinful nature.

487
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:29,440
Paul in Romans 7, you know, goes
to this lengthy diatribe.

488
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,680
You know, I'm doing what I don't
want to do.

489
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,560
I'm not doing what I do want to
do.

490
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,880
I see this law at work in my
members.

491
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,880
It's the law of the flesh.
And so we see this warfare.

492
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,560
It's kind of external.
There are external spiritual

493
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:50,880
entities, they're real cultural,
because we just live in a sinful

494
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,960
world.
But it's also an internal it's

495
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,320
our we're drawn away by our own
sinful desires.

496
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,600
Yeah, you don't.
And I think a lot of us tend to

497
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,200
maybe emphasize some of those or
deemphasize others and not get

498
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,920
that fully or we're getting hit
from all these different,

499
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,800
different ways.
All right, So kind of summing

500
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,000
up, how do we practically wage
spiritual warfare, our thought

501
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,880
life, rejecting sinful thoughts,
temptation, fleeing from it's

502
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,960
what the Bible would tell us,
repenting when we do sin.

503
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,760
So confessing and cleansing,
forgiving others when we've

504
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,880
been, you know, sinned against
faith, trusting in God,

505
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,960
obviously being really rooted
and grounded in Scripture and

506
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,680
living a prayerfully dependent
life.

507
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,000
And that leads us into this core
foundation of, you know,

508
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,720
Christ's victory being the
foundation.

509
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Maybe we can pick up, you know,
a couple of these.

510
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,360
How about you have Colossians 2
there for us?

511
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Ready to go verses 13 through
15.

512
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,320
And you who were dead in your
trespasses and the

513
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,520
uncircumcision of your flesh,
God made alive together with

514
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,680
him, having forgiven us all our
trespasses by canceling the

515
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,200
record of debt that stood
against us with its legal

516
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,120
demands.
This He set aside, nailing it to

517
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:15,440
the cross.
He disarmed the rulers and

518
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,000
authorities and put them to open
shame by triumphing over them in

519
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240
Him.
And you know when it says these

520
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,400
rulers and authorities clear
allusion to demonic rulers and.

521
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,920
Authorities so kind of like a
parallel passage to the

522
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Ephesians 2 yes exactly a lot of
similar things that we see that

523
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,400
you know Christ's victory on the
cross.

524
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:42,040
Paul's words disarmed the rulers
and the authorities, triumphing

525
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,960
over them and then so going down
to pastoral guardrails.

526
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,480
So here's some errors that we
would want to avoid.

527
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,080
We would want to avoid denying
supernatural or someone would

528
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,040
call it preternatural.
Oh, there you go.

529
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,400
And that's probably the, you
know, way a lot of people today,

530
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,280
like they downplay some of that
even, you know, well meaning

531
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,480
evangelicals are probably like,
you know, they don't.

532
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,720
I don't know why.
I don't know why you'd run away

533
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,840
from it, but you can run away
from that.

534
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,200
But on the other hand, we
wouldn't want to be obsessing

535
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,920
over.
Did you ever read any Frank

536
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,080
Peretti's books?
Yeah.

537
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,520
Yeah, I don't know.
I was like.

538
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Those are good.
They were good, but I was like

539
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,000
praying all the time to like
Angel do this, Angel do that,

540
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,080
'cause it's like.
Yeah, you're right.

541
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,120
And just like I said, like a lot
of our culture denies

542
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,240
supernatural, a lot of
evangelical culture obsesses

543
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,240
over the supernatural.
So you can follow that.

544
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,280
I think, you know, if you go
back in time to like Martin

545
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,440
Luther's Day, I was like reading
or listening to like lectures on

546
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,760
and it's like back in that day,
probably like our culture's

547
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,600
materialistic.
Their culture was probably over

548
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,800
spiritualizing things where like
if the milk went bad, it was

549
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,560
like Satan got the demons got
the milk.

550
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,360
But that was like the way they
thought instead of science.

551
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,400
But now it's like all science,
you know?

552
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,720
And there should be a healthy
balance knowing that we live in

553
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,600
a spiritual world, but not
everything is spiritual.

554
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,960
Blaming sin on the devil.
Oh, the devil made me do it.

555
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,800
That's why he can sit on attack.
Michael, you can just sit on

556
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,360
attack.
I was not allowed to sing that

557
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,760
song.
Yeah, good.

558
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Your parents are good.
They were like they would tell

559
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,600
me that you were not singing
that my and my my mom would

560
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,960
quote, you know, Michael the
Archangel did not rebuke the

561
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
devil, but you know, whatever
she would quote that passage

562
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,280
like we're not going to make a
railing reaction accusation

563
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,400
against them seeking extra
biblical techniques.

564
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,360
We don't need anything that's
outside of this, yeah.

565
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,600
Yeah, it it is crazy.
We looked at so many passages

566
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,760
that talked explicitly about
rulers and authorities, demonic

567
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,320
powers, and man.
It's like it hits you in the

568
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,720
face where the epistles really
man, they're not telling you to

569
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,320
exercise demons, but to live
rightly.

570
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,120
We should not neglect
sanctification, you know, you're

571
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,840
practical, you know, work out
your sanctification and fear.

572
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,960
We looked at Jude where it says
remain in the love of God.

573
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,360
So there's there's these places
where we we taught were told

574
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,160
you'll live a life that is
pleasing to God.

575
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,480
And it has all these other
benefits to it, like you're not

576
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,560
subjecting yourself to, you
know, doubts or fears.

577
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,400
You know those types of things.
All right, so spiritual warfare,

578
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,200
it's real, it's our believers
ongoing battle against the

579
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,200
devil, the world in the flesh,
but we are finer victory.

580
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Hopefully you saw this through
Plan on the Belt of Truth,

581
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,560
increasing our faith, living
holy lives, praying, and having

582
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
spirit empowered obedience to
what we're called to.

583
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,680
Wow, I love it.
Don't just chase.

584
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,760
It's not.
It's not saying Chase the

585
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,360
dramatic, but ordinary faithful
living.

586
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,720
And and we're not saying that if
there was something that looked

587
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,080
like what they saw in Acts,
maybe there is a time for

588
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,160
exorcism, but I it's.
Probably not the It's probably

589
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,040
not like your day-to-day call.
Right, right.

590
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,360
For most of.
Us, right For most of us, maybe

591
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,040
if you're in the Middle
Institute, you might see

592
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,080
something like, I don't know if
this is schizophrenia or

593
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,360
something else, but.
Yeah, I love it.

594
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,560
Spiritual warfare.
Last take.

595
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,520
Yeah, I think so.
Dude, it's it's rainy rainy out

596
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,600
there.
I was thinking about this at the

597
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,520
time of the recording because
this is probably going to air,

598
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,880
you know, I don't know, sometime
late in May.

599
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,160
We just came out of like maybe 3
or 4 weeks of dryness, man.

600
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,000
I was thinking, you know,
there's a lot of people that

601
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,040
rail about the chemtrails and
the clouds.

602
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,520
I was thinking maybe we need
some more chemtrails, see some

603
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,920
clouds or something.
I don't know.

604
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,680
Dude, it is.
It is crazy, man, but boy,

605
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,080
today's rainy played.
I played ultimate in the rain.

606
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Today.
How was that?

607
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,240
It was fun if you can imagine.
Much smaller turn out than

608
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,120
normal.
We was like 5 on five.

609
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,720
But I bet you got even faster
when you were from 'cause there

610
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,360
are fewer people.
Clay's always there to rain on

611
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,080
my parade, no pun intended.
We're, we're, we're both on

612
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,400
Garmin, you know, and I love it.
He started texting me in our own

613
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,640
chat and I was like, no, I want
Michael part of this Garmin chat

614
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,840
because you know, he makes fun
of me for like I can't charge my

615
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,000
my watch once a day.
And it tracks your top speed

616
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,600
using GPS.
It tracks your speed and your

617
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,640
top speed.
Obviously if it tracks your top

618
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,560
speed, you can make like 1 fast
movement and it looks like

619
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,760
you're going super fast.
I don't know.

620
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,080
Yeah, it's hard to.
So it says I'm clay.

621
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,360
Is clay just like?
Move 100 miles an hour with my

622
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,680
hand right there, you know?
Yeah.

623
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Yeah, Clay was very quick to
tell me, Zach, that top speed

624
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,680
can't be accurate.
Like, just so you know, you

625
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,280
know.
But then your thing made me feel

626
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,440
like it could be accurate.
Maybe because Usain Usain Bolt,

627
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,240
his top speed when he was set
that record was like 27 miles

628
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:47,600
an.
Hour.

629
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Not for the, not for the whole.
That was just the peak I.

630
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Mean, but the peak.
Yeah, right.

631
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Yeah.
And then his average speed was

632
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,960
like 23 miles an hour and your
top speed was like 2122.

633
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,600
So I could imagine that.
Maybe I'm slower than Usain

634
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,800
Bolt.
It checks out but you.

635
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,240
Know we have one of those speed
signs that would record your

636
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,280
speed and I was running it and I
was like, I think I got up to

637
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,880
like 1314 and I was like that's
that was I don't know.

638
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,520
Yeah, it's it's something, Yeah.
So thanks, Clay for always

639
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,840
Downing my hard, hard work.
Except he didn't down all of it.

640
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,159
He was, you know, so if they're.
You I'm not winning a an Olympic

641
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:27,880
100 yard dash.
But you did.

642
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,960
Did you do shot put in high
school?

643
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,920
You said the discus.
Did you do discus?

644
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,280
Yeah.
Which one was easier?

645
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Was it hard to do discus or not
really?

646
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,000
Was it easier to do one or the
other?

647
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,120
Shot put was easier for me
discus there was some skill

648
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,960
about getting that thing to fly
out of your hand the right way

649
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,639
and I never could get it to.
I don't know what why I could

650
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:49,440
never get to do it really well.
But I also did run in AI ran.

651
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,199
I don't know what the property
terminology is.

652
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,840
I ran 200 meters Nice.
And I was in a relay where

653
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,640
everyone ran 200 meters.
So is that a 800 by 4?

654
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,720
I don't know idea.
Is it a 200 by 4?

655
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,120
But yeah, man, I ran the third
leg and I think we won.

656
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,360
Dude, congratulations living up
the Goyers.

657
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,840
Take that, Clay, you probably
want it down on that too.

658
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,200
I'm just gonna make me and Clay
are tight 'cause they're both.

659
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,320
We're Garmin brothers.
Garmin Bros.

660
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,440
Garmin Bros.
That's like the the EO Bros, the

661
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,360
Ethan Orthodox Bros that were
descending on our our comments.

662
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Yeah, the Garmin Bros.
Dude.

663
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,360
And but all that's to say, today
has been rainy.

664
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,320
Rainy days are good every now
and then, you know.

665
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,760
We needed it man, our retention
ponds.

666
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,360
Oh yeah, you could see.
You might.

667
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,440
Drop it way low.
I was watering our grass like I

668
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,480
had like this little I don't
have like the little fan that

669
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,560
goes back and forth.
I've got like this little round

670
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:46,120
and it just kind of goes a a
cone and I I left it on for a

671
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,840
long time longer than what I
actually intended to, but it was

672
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,040
not our ground was not muddy it
like it's something all.

673
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,480
Up it is great.
It does make you think about

674
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,640
like farmers and stuff like it's
like you're so dependent and if

675
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,200
like it hits your part of the
country, it's like, oh, it's

676
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,480
like man, 'cause it's like you
could even notice it.

677
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,880
And it's like, I don't, I don't
depend on it at all, but it's

678
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,280
like you notice it.
Thankfully, our water's not very

679
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,000
expensive here, At least for me
it's not.

680
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Yeah, like I could water a whole
bunch.

681
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,400
I'm probably going to pay 20
bucks more a month.

682
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like that's when you're

683
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,960
when you feed kids regularly, 20
bucks is not that much.

684
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Chump changed to Michael.
Michael's thrown out 20s

685
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,200
everywhere.
I was kidding.

686
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,960
But yeah, rainy day, I'm trying
to think I was like soaked,

687
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,320
right?
But it's good 'cause I'm just

688
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,120
going to be inside all day
anyway.

689
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,320
And I got, I like, took a nap.
It was like a little bit extra

690
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,600
restful.
Got some work done.

691
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,920
It's good.
Speaking of mornings, this is

692
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,760
going to air late from when this
happened, but today, May the

693
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:47,760
second was SAT day.
Oh, did you Proctor it?

694
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:54,400
I could say yes and no because I
was down to Proctor it and the

695
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,840
so if you've I've not been in
the SAT realm lately, I haven't.

696
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,240
If you have some type of
documented, I'll say disorder

697
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,600
like ADHD or dyslexia or
something like that, you can get

698
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,000
special conditions where you can
have like a little bit longer to

699
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,880
read stuff.
And I have not done that type of

700
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,800
proctoring before.
I've just been in the normal

701
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,120
one.
But the teacher who normally

702
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,320
does that, she had like this
ladies Bible thing couldn't be

703
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,480
there and like, hey, Michael, do
you want to do the the one of

704
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,360
the conditions ones?
So there's like C2, which is

705
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,680
like lesser conditions and C3,
which is the longer 1.

706
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120
And so you have to stay longer
because.

707
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Yeah, it could take longer.
That makes sense.

708
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,560
So the the one that I was in the
student, it was only one student

709
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,360
and she could have double the
time for both math and reading

710
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,840
based on whatever her condition
was.

711
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,360
We're not told what the
conditions are.

712
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,320
And then they can also have
breaks so they can pause the

713
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,680
test, like go take a break and
then come back to it.

714
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,480
And I was sitting there, sitting
there.

715
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:02,000
No one.
Showed up and I only had one

716
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680
class 'cause she was the only
one in the C3 category.

717
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,920
So apparently I still get paid
and I get paid more because it's

718
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,160
a you had to stay longer in
theory because I was in the C3

719
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,800
slot, not the normal slot.
So there's this other teacher

720
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,000
who's like, you're leaving
before us more than us.

721
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,360
Yeah, tough work.
Someone had to do it.

722
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,040
Is what grades Carrison.
Karis is 1/10 grader.

723
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,040
She's finished and there were
some classmates there taking the

724
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,880
SAT just to.
Get the extra repin.

725
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,560
Yeah, but she didn't take it
this time, so she was.

726
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,360
I never took the SAT.
Can you believe it?

727
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,840
I just straight ACT.
Yeah, I I think ACT, you were in

728
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Memphis at this time.
It was like I didn't hardly know

729
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,840
anyone that was taking the SAT.
I took the ACT, got a 33 on it,

730
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,760
which was yeah, that's pretty
high that day.

731
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:56,160
I think it's gotten easier
because one of Jill's second or

732
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,080
first cousin, once removed, she
got a 34.

733
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,600
It must be easier now for her to
have gotten a higher score than

734
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,760
me.
Has to be.

735
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,320
But I did take the SATI didn't
like I, I went through this

736
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:13,120
whole ACT prep like boot class
and I went from like a 30 to a

737
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,000
33 and I was like, that's
probably good enough.

738
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,880
I don't need it any higher than
that.

739
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,640
So I didn't take it anymore,
took the SATI think it got like

740
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:25,440
1280, which is not bad, but it's
not like it's not on par as

741
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,040
being high as that 33 was.
It's but I didn't study for.

742
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,360
I didn't really even know what I
was.

743
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,160
It is crazy like how you can
study for the test like and it

744
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,440
does help like you know.
And back then you got penalized

745
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,080
for wrong answers on the SAT.
They don't do that anymore

746
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,680
today.
So you can you can guess and it

747
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,360
doesn't count against you.
But if leaving 1 blank.

748
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,400
Is better than missing.
That's.

749
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,480
That's crazy.
Yeah, Yeah, So cool.

750
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,440
All right, Well, hope it.
I guess the rains like stop by

751
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,960
now.
Maybe.

752
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,320
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.

753
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,800
We'll see.
We'll see what happens tomorrow,

754
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,240
but anything else you've got?
Nah, this is a long episode.

755
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,480
Something did just come to mind.
Oh wow, we got we got a new.

756
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:08,960
Car you got?
Oh.

757
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,360
Boy, she hasn't driven it cause
the battery's bad.

758
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,000
And I was like CarMax, we just
bought this car and they should,

759
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,880
they're like, yeah, we'll, we'll
they're like come in.

760
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,560
And I was like, I'm not spending
1/2 a day.

761
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,600
I was like, this happened
before.

762
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920
It actually did happen before
with Chloe's car we got from

763
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,800
CarMax.
And it's like, I just showed

764
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,920
y'all like the print out from
AutoZone showing it was a bad

765
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,360
battery and then you reimburse
me like, yeah, you can do that

766
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,480
if you want to.
That's awesome.

767
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,360
We just been so busy.
I haven't done it yet.

768
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,960
So it's still sitting in our
driveway, but we're just going

769
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,520
to do it today.
AutoZone doesn't like to check

770
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,400
batteries in a car when it's
raining.

771
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,920
Oh, I can.
See it so.

772
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,520
So it kind of ties into the
raining thing.

773
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,920
We're going to wait till there's
on topic.

774
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,160
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.

775
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:53,440
Well, sorry that this is for
this is for Karis.

776
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,720
This is for Lydia, Lydia Lydia
Toyota, Rav 40.

777
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,840
Yeah, yeah, cool, awesome.
Well, Congrats.

778
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,240
Hope you can drive it one of
these days.

779
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,120
We'll see if the battery ever.
And hopefully she's driving it

780
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,120

in, we're in trouble, Yeah.

781
