the exercise some people get right you're probably thinking what what version what version what version is he going to call the Satan's Bible version right okay so um this is not about this is not about um the King James versus the new King James versus the ASV versus the NIV versus the that's that's not what this conversation is about um this conversation is about the fact that so many people get their Doctrine from a perversion of scripture which Satan is always at the root of so when we see somebody perverting scripture we know that they are influenced by Satan himself and we see how Satan operates and he operates by changing what God Said to make you believe something God never intended for you to believe or to make me believe something that God never intended for me to believe and so I'm going to read a couple of passages to you um and and then we're gonna we're gonna look at several passages and then we're going to come back and um we're going to come back and see what happens from there so um in Genesis chapter 2 God is talking to Adam God called their name Adam Adam later called her name Eve um and by the way I don't I don't know if you all realize this or not um Genesis never mind I'm not going to chase that rabbit never mind I'm not gonna chase that rap so Genesis chapter 2 verse 16 and 17 and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat but of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil Thou shalt not eat of it for the day thou eatest thereof Thou shalt surely die so God said of every tree of the garden Thou shalt freely eat so I want you to notice the words every tree freely eat every freely every freely those are abundance words those are not lack words every and freely are words of abundance so we come to Genesis chapter 3 and we introduce the serpent now some people would like to argue okay well you know a talking snake come on well I don't I don't understand why that's such a difficult thing to believe when you consider how um things have changed over time um like we don't see dinosaurs roaming the Earth but we know they were here right um so just because snakes don't talk doesn't mean they didn't right I mean God made everything and I'm so one of the books that I have in my library is called the origin of speeches and it's written by a Jewish rabbi and he's proving in this book it's like like phone book thick right he's proving in this book that every language in the world is a derivative of ancient Hebrew which he calls edenix and in that book he talked about the word nekish nekish is the word for a snake or a serpent and he talks about the fact that the serpent was the highest of all the animal kingdom and wasn't an animal that had language and um and had could walk uprightly like a man but when Satan embodied this creature and used him to tempt man the punishment was on your belly you will go on the dusty Earth you'll it's Etc like you'll crawl on your belly you'll eat the dust of the earth uh man's heel will bruise your head and your uh you'll bruises heel so so we know that's a prophecy about Christ but that's not the point I'm making the point I'm making is this that that he went from the serpent went from being the highest of all the animals to being a tail with a face right and went from being able to talk to only being able to hiss right and so it was the it was it was just so so don't don't read this and say well that's not possible like when you read about the Tower of Babel and they had a plan to build a tower whose top could reach heaven it seems like that's impossible right but it says the Lord came down to see the Tower and the city and the towers the sons of men build it he said now this people is one now um and they have one language and one speech now this they begin to do and here's what God said about the tower even though they didn't have hydraulics or helicopters or like Power Equipment here's what God here's what God Said now nothing will be restrained from them which they've imagined to do we think we're so technologically advanced but a part of the reason we believe that is because we've never been to the ancient world like if you go to the ancient city of Ephesus that was completely covered in Silt and they dug it out with toothbrushes right and the the the the the entrance to the library of the ancient city of Ephesus is at least 30 40 feet tall right they built structures that lasted for thousands of years they have stones in the ancient world they're half as big as this room I'm in right how did they even move those stones like we think we're so technologically advanced but understand maybe we're not as technologically advanced as we think we are anyway that was a little side rant I do that from time to time if you're new to our YouTube channel hang in there with me we're going somewhere so so now it says in Genesis chapter 3 now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said unto the woman yea and I want you to notice this the first word he says to her is yes yay hath God said yes as God said right talk about talk about a Salesman this guy's and he's he's good um yeah if God said You shall not eat of every tree of the garden that's not what God Said God said of every tree freely eat Satan took out the word freely and added the word not does that change the meaning it is so dangerous to change the word of God and attempt to make it mean something like I'm going to tell you something I want to one of the biggest problems I see in our world today is that pastors and preachers and full-time ministers don't study the Bible they want to teach motivation and they want to teach um inspiration and and they want to tell stories and nursery rhymes everything that God has ever done he's done through his word and everything that he will ever do he will do through his word if he's going to do something through me he'll do it through his word if you're going to do something through you he'll do it through his word and so um yea if God said you show an idea of a tree of the garden and the woman said we may eat you the fruit of the Trees of the garden well now she took out the word every and the word freely it still changes the meaning what do we learn from this we what we need to learn from this is that we don't need to study Satan's Bible version we don't need to attend Satan's Bible studies we don't need to let Satan teach us the Bible how can we tell when Satan's teachings the Bible when he changes the word by the way let me let me say this um I'm going to make like I like I I personally like the King James version of the Bible and the complete Jewish Bible those are my two favorite versions um but I will say this all translation is commentary did you hear what I said all translation is commentary and so one of that's why it's so important regardless of which version of the Bible you use my recommendation would be the King James version or the complete Jewish Bible I think I've already said that um get a Strong's Concordance because more important than being able to read the words in English easily is to be able being able to understand what the words meant in the original language when they were first spoken or first written okay because words change meaning we live in a world where they change the meaning of all kinds of words you know when I was a kid they used to call it being a drunk and now they call it alcoholism it's a it's a disease right uh it used to be called they um used to be called adultery right which is an Abomination but now we call it an affair sounds like a party maybe I should bring a gift right um and so so when so so understand Satan Satan is at war with God's word but Satan is at war with words well I mean we're we're turning into a society that doesn't even use words anymore we just use abbreviations s right SMH LOL everything's an abbreviation well let's don't abbreviate and uh truncate the word of God so um she said we made it through the trees of garden but in the fruit tree that's in the midst of the garden God has said You shall not eat of it neither shall you touch it lest you die well God didn't say don't touch it she added me she's taking stuff out and putting stuff in okay let's go to Matthew Matthew chapter number four Matthew chapter number four and this is right after uh Jesus was uh Jesus was baptized then was Jesus led to the spirit Into the Wilderness to be tempted of the devil and when he had fasted 40 days and 40 nights he was afterward and hungered that which is always laughable to me you don't say right you didn't need anything for 40 days and 40 nights and you're hungry not surprised okay and when the tempter came to him he said if thou be the Son of God command these stones to be made bread but he answered and said it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God the devil taking them up into the holy city instead of him on the pentacle of the temple Pinnacle of the temple and he saith unto him if he thou be the Son of God cast thyself down watch what he says next for it is written what Satan's quote in the Bible you mean just because somebody quotes the Bible they weren't sent from God Satan is quoting the word to the one who is the word ah okay let's don't let's don't get it listened ladies and gentlemen take him up into a holy city set them on the Pentacles the temple and saith unto him thou be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written he shall give his angels charge concerning thee and in their hands they shall bear the up lest at any time thou Dash thy foot against the stone he was quoting an Old Testament scripture Jesus said unto him it is written again Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God so here's here's how Jesus defeated the devil in his Bible version he knew the word better than Satan did see when you are a student of the word yourself I get it your pastor studies the Bible your pastor eats breakfast too but that don't make you full I'm sorry I'm calm down pump the brakes man pump the brakes and and so what we have to do is we have to understand that we are responsible to God for what we do with his word in our lives your response hey I was 17 years old when I came 16 years old when I came to Christ I was 17 years old when I started reading the Bible I had never read a book in my life that was not a comic book or a karate book up to that time I didn't read books for school I didn't because reading was hard for me I I just felt like when I was a little kid I always felt like I was chasing the words across the page sit still don't you see I'm trying to read you you know I like it my brain just moved faster than my eyes and so um so I started reading the King James version of the Bible it made perfect sense to me and I had never read a book in my life so and and I do want to say this too is there some place in life where you can show me we're making something easier for somebody made it better for them is that how life Works in real life not really right so anyway but I started reading it but I didn't just read the King James version of the Bible because I wouldn't have known anything you know what I did I got a big old thick Strong's Concordance which has strongs it's called Strong's exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and what it has in the Strong's Concordance you can look up every word in every verse it goes verse by verse by verse word by word by word throughout the Bible so you look up a word in the Bible you go to that word like if I want to look up the word if I want to look up the word um devil I can look up the word devil and I can go to the word devil and then find it in the verse I'm looking for it and then it has a little number that's associated with the definition that you turn to the back of the book and you reference it to find out what the word meant and when I first started studying the Bible we didn't have apps we didn't have computers we didn't have all that stuff like personal computer when I started studying the Bible there was no such thing as a personal computer right if I if what the only thing if there was one the only thing you used for is playing the game so what do we do we the strongest according to the Bible a Vines expository dictionary what we're looking up the words so we can if you don't know what the words mean you can't know what the word means it's a law of definitions if I don't understand like if I don't have a word for a thing then that thing has no meaning to me it has no significance to me and so what we have to do like all of us now fortunately for me now I've got I've got my strongs my Strong's KJV Bible app and so if I want to look up the word in here I want to look up the word devil all I gotta do is touch the word devil and it comes from the Greek word uh Diablo Diablo Los diabolos which means uh a traducer specifically Satan false accuser devil slander wow well I used to have to turn a whole bunch of pages in my strong skin chords and now I got to do is touch a word that's underlined but some people can't be bothered it's too much see reading the Bible is great but studying the Bible is essential right reading the Bible I believe we should all read the Bible I believe we should read it I believe we should listen to it I believe we should memorize but we have to study it if I don't study if I don't do word studies I can't know what it's saying I might know what it says but I have no idea what to say are y'all tracking y'all with me okay so Satan used the word against Christ now I'm gonna go to Second Corinthians chapter number 11. because I want you all to see something amazing second Corinthians chapter 11. and here's what it says um in verse number three this is the Apostle Paul writing to the Corinthian Church but I Fearless by any means that as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety what's subtle subtle means slight Satan is not an overt tempter he's a covert tempter y'all tracking see Satan does not scream at you he whispers to you and it says I Fearless by any means that as the serpent beguiled Eve or deceived Eve through his subtlety so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ now you remember over in um II Corinthians I think it's chapter three where it says um less Satan should get an advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices guess what that word device is the Greek word noemo which means thoughts we're not ignorant of his thoughts how does Satan operate in the life of a believer that's a good question right by putting thoughts in your mind and making you think those thoughts are your thoughts because thoughts where do thoughts come from well some thoughts come from God don't they sometimes God will just download an idea on you well thank you Lord I appreciate that right sometimes you get a download so some thoughts come from God some thoughts come from yourself maybe from your memories right maybe something you're you're remembering something you're thinking about okay maybe just a contemplation right like I'm just thinking about how this works oh that's a great idea right some thoughts come from us when it comes to um like Innovation we're thinking about one thing and it reminds us this thing over here reminds us this thing over here and then all of a sudden we're like oh my goodness Eureka right but thoughts also come from other people in fact when someone is talking to you I want you to wrap your mind around what I'm about to say when someone is talking to you the reason they're having a conversation with you is to take thoughts out of their mind and put them in your mind that's the whole purpose of a conversation when you're talking to somebody the reason you're talking to them is to take thoughts out of your mind and put them in somebody else's mind right so that is the objective of communication take thoughts out of your mind put them in somebody else's mind okay so thoughts come from God they come from me they come from other people okay thoughts come from experiences all of a sudden I have this experience and then all of a sudden like I take memories and expectations mix them all together I have a thought voila right um but thoughts also come from Satan because the scripture says we are not ignorant of his devices how does Satan operate in the life of a Believer he can't possess you and see here's the problem you think and I say you a lot of Believers think that because Satan can't possess you he can't destroy you but Satan knows something we haven't figured out yet he don't have to possess you to destroy you he can oppress you to destroy you he can influence you to destroy you you'd have to possess man I don't need to possess you all I got to do is put a thought in your mind and make you think that thought is your thought how's that work um do you remember um it says I think it's in um first uh I don't remember second second Samuel second Samuel maybe no it's not a second Samuel maybe second Samuel chapter 21 where it says the devil stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel foreign David thought that was his idea didn't he do you remember what it says in John Chapter 13 Verse number three the devil having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot Simon's son to betray him Judas Judas thought that was his idea do you remember ananias and Sapphira Acts chapter 5 when they came and lied to the apostles and they sold their house which was their house and they gave half the money and acted like they gave all the money why because they want the problem was that they didn't give all the money the problem was that they wanted to deceive people hmm what did Peter say ananias why has Satan filled thine heart to lie unto the Holy Ghost and keep back part of the price while it was while it was yours I mean while you had it wasn't your own house couldn't you do with it what you wanted to see Satan operates by putting thoughts in our minds and making us think those thoughts are our thoughts and then we act on those thoughts as if they're our thoughts but what we have to do is we have to actually we have to actually um take inventory out of our thoughts and make them show an ID card before we let them in because if you don't like there are so many things so Fascinating People don't understand Satan is the founder of religion he found a religion in Genesis chapter three God didn't establish a religion God established Kingdom Authority on Earth hand it over to man man hand it over to Satan Jesus came and took it back and it's been hand like take this Authority I'm giving it to you and we've been saying I don't know what to do with no keys Lord Kingdom Kids I don't know what to do with that and we and we've like disregarded it because we don't understand what the word means because we don't understand what the words mean well interestingly enough let's go back to uh Genesis chapter 3 now where we can see clearly that we can see clearly I'm going to read a bunch of verses too because he said I Fearless by any means that as the serpent begotten through the subtlety so your mind should be corrupted from the Simplicity which is incred which is in Christ what does that what does that give us that gives us a clue I Fearless by any means that as the serpent beguiled Eve so he will beguile you so if I want to understand if thoughts here here's the question if thoughts can come from God and they can come from me and they can come from other people and they can come from my experience and they can come from the devil doesn't it make sense that I should figure out a system I should have some kind of system for knowing when a thought is coming from Satan does that make sense yes so how do I know when a thought is coming from Satan well we're going to look at it um but um uh verse five or verse four rather the serpent said unto the woman I'm going to read verse three first but but the fruit tree that's in the midst of the garden God has said You shall not eat a bit neither shall you touch it lest you die and the serpent said unto the woman ye shall not surely die for God to know that today eat thereof then your eyes will be open and you shall be his Gods knowing good and evil that's the first religion introduced right there in Genesis chapter 5 verse I mean Genesis chapter 3 and verse number 5.
for God doth know that the day thereof then your eyes will be open and you shall be what as God's knowing good and evil so what does religion do religion when in in this all translation is commentary so stay hang in there with me for a minute religion says that you get to be God you get to decide for yourself or you get to decide for other people what's right and wrong you shall not surely die for God to know that the day either of then you will be as gods knowing Discerning good and evil deciding what's right and what's wrong God's telling you not so here's what Satan says if you will do the thing God told you not to do you will be more like God and she bought it why because Satan is the father of lies he's a master liar do you understand that a lie that looks like a lie is a waste of time to tell in order for a lie to be beneficial to the liar it has to look like the truth it has to sound like the truth you can't tell a lie that looks like a lie and go anywhere with that you got to make it sound good so here's what I'm going to tell you if you will do the things God told you not to do you will be more like God so what is what is every religion done since that time so that was the first religion what's it called it's called hedonism Hedonism is the first religion in history of the world what is it it's man becomes God you get to replace God why did Satan want you to replace God because Satan wants to replace God he wants to influence you and make you think you're God and then he gets to be your God and so he gets to take God's play he tried to do it in heaven it didn't work so he came to Earth and said well you know what it didn't work the first time but I figured some stuff out I'm gonna try it again y'all tracking so what do we need to do we need to understand how Satan is operating and say no I ain't fallen for that I ain't falling for that so it says um that you shall be God's doing good and evil so man becomes God so what is every religion since then done well a man or a woman or a group of men or a group of women have gotten together and made up a bunch of rules that tell people what they have to do to be more like God wow that's why it's imperative that if you are a follower of Christ that you become a student of his word that I become a student of his word I must like this is not this is not an option play this is a basic bread and butter mandatory play I must be a student of the word and I have to look up the words and I have to compare scripture with scripture so I don't hey did you realize did you know there are no isolated doctrines in Scripture Darna anything that God has ever said is be supported by something else God said and if it's not supported God didn't say it why because at the mouth of how many witnesses two or three Witnesses let every word be established I'm going to show you something really interesting that I wasn't planning on showing you but I might as well show you because we're already here so the Hebrew word for truth is the word I meant right aleph mem Tav well the interesting thing about Olive is this there are three letters in the word truth there are three Witnesses each one of these letters stands on two two feet so there's there's one side there one side there one side there one side there so so you got three letters that all stand on two feet you know what the word is for falsehood it's the word checker um Shaker Shaker shaker trying to remember which way though what do we see about this all three of these letters stand on one leg this this letter is the number for 400 this is 40. this is one the number for truth is 400 plus 40 plus 1 is 441. four plus four is eight plus one equals nine this is um the letter this is the number uh 200 this number represents 200 in um not 200.
uh 300. this one's 300 this one's 200 this one's 100. add them together equals 600.
six plus zeros six plus zero equals six what is a six an upside down nine what is a lie an upside down truth I I mean I would go into more detail than that but I don't have time so the the word um I met is the first letter of the middle letter and the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet the word Checker all of those letters are right by each other in the hierophy but they're out of order so what is a lie it's something that you can only see a little piece of in its out of order what is the truth something that you can see the beginning the middle and the end and they all line up that's why it's so important to study scripture that wasn't a side that wasn't that was an aside but a good aside what am I saying I'm saying like the Bible is essential so it doesn't matter what religion I'm not going to go name a bunch of religions you already know the names of them but you got a bunch of people trying to use the Bible to control a bunch of other people instead of folks walking in what the scripture calls the individual priesthood of the believer every human being every man every woman every child in a relationship with God through the death Bearer and resurrection of Jesus Christ instead of that making up a bunch of rules if you look at how God set everything up in the beginning I'm chasing rabbits but they're good rabbits and I need to let them go if you look at how God set up everything in the beginning God created everything in Genesis chapter 1.
