Don't Mess with Our Kids: Global Threats to Children 0:10 Well, welcome to part 3 of Reversed from Culturally Woke to Biblically Awake. We're working our way through this book. We're on now chapter 3. I hope you've read the chapter0:22 before you watch this, but if you haven't, that's okay. You can pick it up afterwards. Make sure you read the full chapter to get an understanding of what I'm sharing with you right now. In 20 17,0:35 1000001 half people marched in the streets of Peru saying, don't mess with our kids. That's the title of this particular chapter, and the focus0:47 here for the next few moments is on our children. I mentioned to you in, I think, the first video, talked about the fact that we wanna teach our children the principles of this book.0:59 So for example, if you're reading this book, mom and dad, and you come to chapter 28, well page 28 is a coloring book. There's 60 pages in this and 60 chapters1:11 in this. We want to teach our children biblical principles. But for our purposes right now, what we're talking about is the enemy is coming after our children.1:23 A couple years ago, we all became aware of Loudoun County in the Washington DC area, in Virginia. Now most of us, if you don't live in that area, you've never heard of Loudoun County as such,1:36 but you sure heard about it then. The controversy that erupted between parents in the school protecting their children and a school board that was completely out of line. And1:47 then we began hearing school board after school board across a nation where this was exactly the case. And then came COVID. And when children were at home during COVID, all of a sudden for the1:59 first time, parents became aware what public schools were teaching. And they were shocked and they were appalled. Our ministry is to2:11 government leaders, and the goal is to bring biblical principles of governance to government leaders. We've traveled quite a few countries in Europe. We've met with numbers of members of parliament.2:23 We meet with, as we can, members of congress in Washington DC. We've met with a few members of congress in South America. Traveled a little bit in Asia, some small amount in Africa, but not very2:35 much. We've been to quite a number of countries. And it's intriguing that every country we go to, we hear the same kind of report. They'll say, you will not believe what's happening here when we get2:47 there. Well, what is that? They're trying to force homosexuality and transgenderism on our children. We had a ministry at 1 time of weekly bible studies at the United Nations in New York City.2:59 We actually met privately with 93 of the 193 ambassadors in New York City at the United Nations. We had bible studies there on a weekly basis. So3:11 we try to hear what is going on in other countries, what is going on globally. What is happening globally? We'll talk about this more in a later chapter. But let's just let's understandThe Outbreak of Evil: Satan's Fall 3:23 the outbreak of evil that's occurred. The first references to Satan that occur anywhere in scripture, they happen in Ezekiel 28, or the most clear,3:35 I should say, clear examples of it. Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14. And in those 2 passages, it describes the nature of Satan who was originally called Lucifer.3:48 Lucifer was 1 of the 3 main angels, archangels. Lucifer was beautiful, spectacular, remarkable to look at, and with tremendous sounds coming from4:00 Lucifer. He he was the worship leader of heaven until, as 1 of these passages says, I will. I will exalt myself. I will lift myself up. At that4:12 point, everything changes. The 1 who was supposed to direct worship to almighty God wanted all worship directed to him. That's the fall of Lucifer, original4:24 sin. Now add to that Adam and Eve. When they participate in violating God's will, then we have a second aspect. Then you think of the sin of all of humanity,4:36 the impact of all of us, and the result of that is we have a great deal of evil in the land. Put those all together, and that's what we find ourselves facing in the culture and the society.4:48 Now the good news we're gonna be talking about is the word of God is more powerful than any of that. In fact, that's the whole thesis of the book reversed from culturally woke to biblically awake, the power of the5:00 word of God. Now what are we supposed to do in the meantime when we find ourselves in an environment with this kind of outbreak of evil? The answer is simple. It says in Luke chapter 19 verse 13, occupy5:12 till I come. What does that word occupy mean? It means to continue to engage in business as you are. It means to remain busy in the full aspect of daily affairs.Occupy Till I Come: Anchored in God's Word 5:23 Press forward. Occupy till I come. We don't back off because of sand. You don't you don't get off Facebook because somebody doesn't like what you posted. You kept you keep pressing forward5:36 in the daily aspects of life and standing firmly for the truth in the midst of this evil. When when I was a pastor, I I pastored for a lot of years, many, many decades.5:47 And, my whole last probably 10 or 15 years, I was pastoring Skyline Church in San Diego. And as I pastored there, I would frequently start or end sermons with5:59 phrases like this. I'm preparing you for what is to come. And then I would say, I'm not sure exactly what that is yet, but I'm preparing you for6:11 that. As we walk together through this book reversed, from culturally woke to biblically awake, I'm wanting you to become so6:23 anchored in God's word that you will be able to stand against whatever's coming. I'm preparing you for what is to come. I don't know exactly6:35 what that is yet, but I'm preparing you for that. And to the extent that you have the word of God deposited deep into your spirit,6:47 you're gonna be able to go through whatever happens. I want to equip you in understanding how the scripture applies in every aspects of biblical governance. We're gonna be covering6:58 almost 60 chapters here together. A lot of topics. Everything you hear on the news, rather than seeing what man is saying about that, let's see what God says about that particular topic. That's what we're gonna7:10 be covering as we go through this. Thank you for being with us for this bigger chapter. Let's get ready for the next 1. In the meantime, let's go from culturally woke to biblically awake.7:23 Let us pray. Heavenly father, help our children to love justice as you do and to act justly as they all do. May our children always be merciful just as7:35 you are merciful. Father, grant that our children may know proper respect for everyone as your word commands. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus and we ask you to anoint our7:47 children especially in this end time generation. In Jesus' name, amen.7:53 We hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. Hey, don't forget to check out this discussion questions that are attached. Have a fun time studying and we will see you in the next chapter.In this video 0:00 Don't Mess with Our Kids: Global Threats to Children3:17 The Outbreak of Evil: Satan's Fall5:15 Occupy Till I Come: Anchored in God's Word
