So we're going to get started for the last 1 of my sessions for the day.

I know they have a lot of other stuff, but this has been a lot of hours of seminars, actually.

What do you guys think about, I'm going to step out, I'm not on the GYC committee or anything, but I'm going to ask anyway.

Because I suggested this when I did Southwest Youth Conference, actually I don't know what the YNC stands for anymore.

Southwest Youth for Christ, I guess what I should say, earlier this year.

And that was that when it, like I have 6 hour slots.

I was wondering if I should, would it be better if we each did like 2 and repeated them?

And all the speakers did that so you could like see, hear everybody speak, then me do 6 different ones and then you got to like pick and choose and miss pieces of it?

If everybody suggests that, maybe they'll do it.

I don't know, some people may rather do 6 straight ones, but I don't know, it just seems like, I mean it seems like, you know, with all the great speakers they have here, you'd want to kind of hear a lot of different people speak.

In audioverse, you'd need a lot more servers.

Well, that's a good point that you get more material on AudioVerse.

That's a good reason to do it the way they do it, but just a thought.

So this 1 is Real Dragon, False Doctrine.

And some of this video, I'm going to figure out how to embed these videos tonight.

And then I'll, tomorrow in my first session, I'll show 2 of the videos, 1 with T.D.

Jakes and 1 with Oprah Winfrey, as long as I figure it out tonight.

I just don't know how to put them into my PowerPoint.

But I've had enough people tell me how now that I should be able to figure it out.

So this is the fourth 1, Real Dragon Falls Doctrine.

So we started this morning with the search for the remnant.

And we talked about identifying marks of the remnant church, but also the purpose of the remnant church at a bigger scale.

The dragon in the digital age, we talked about technology and talked about people like Jay-Z and Beyonce and how this, you know, you have all these people who are really dark forces in the world.

And because of technology, the devil doesn't, you don't need a, you don't, you know, There was a time when you didn't need a witch in every village or a voodoo priest in every village.

You don't need 1 in every village anymore.

You need 1 that you elevate and make super famous, and the whole world will follow them.

We just did secret agents and double agents.

And then real dragon, false doctrine is this last 1 for today.

It says, and it came to pass, this is Acts chapter 16.

And it came to pass, verse 16, and it came to pass as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

The same followed Paul and us and cried, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.

But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the Spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

Let's pray as we go into this, because I think this is a good text for us to build this last session on.

Father God, we thank you, Lord, for your truth and for your word.

And we thank you, Lord, because you are better to us than we are to ourselves.

We just ask now, Lord, that you would continue to open our eyes, Lord, and help us to see the fullness of the great controversy.

And Lord, see the victory that we have in Christ.

Bless us today, Lord, and continue to bless GYC, we pray.

So We start off with an interesting story in the Book of Acts.

And it's a story where Paul is preaching.

And as they were going to prayer, a certain damsel, a young lady, possessed with a spirit of divination.

And remember what we're saying that Roger Minow says, that they give these gifts.

The devil will give you a gift that you can use.

And I was saying how Michael Jackson says he received his hit songs in his sleep, which is probably partly why he was taking propofol and trying to sleep so hard.

Because he wanted to sleep because he only got his hits in his sleep.

His mother was interviewed and said she would get up in the middle of the night.

He would get up in the middle of the night and just write out the whole song, beat it.

The Jay-Z goes into the studio, never writes anything down, and can come out with a hit song with complete verses, chorus, everything.

But the point is Roger Minow talks about the fact that they were given gifts.

And Roger Minow was given that gift where he would sleep, and the horses that were going to win the next day would come to him and dream.

So every night he'd dream and he'd make a lot of money by doing that.

So this young lady is possessed with a spirit of divination.

Met us, which brought her masses much gain by soothsaying.

So somebody was actually making money off of this young girl.

Somebody was actually profiting off of this gift, not necessarily the young lady, by the way.

He really gives you a lot of information.

That's probably why he was chosen, in a sense, to do the Book of Acts.

It says, the same followed Paul and us in Christ, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.

There was nothing wrong with what she was saying.

This is a critical point if you're going to understand spiritual things when it comes to the great controversy and the war between the enemy and between Christ and Satan.

And what she was saying would have held leverage in the town because she had the spirit of divination.

They were used to the fact that whatever she said came to pass, or whatever she said was true.

So imagine when she's going around the town, and she's saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation, A lot of the people in the town were probably agreeing with her.

But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the Spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her and he came out the same hour.

This is profound information the Bible's giving you right here.

The Bible is telling you 1, just because people say the right thing doesn't mean they're not possessed by the devil First lesson just because they're saying the right thing doesn't mean they're not possessed by the devil.

Number 2, at some point, Paul had to deal with this demon.

Because even though the demon was saying the right thing, because it was repetitiously and really in a hollow way saying it, it was actually disrupting Paul's ability to preach and convert people to Jesus Christ.

So just because you say the right thing and you say it over and over and over and over and over again doesn't mean it's going to help expand the gospel.

Now 1 of the ways that that manifests is with some of the modern praise songs.

Now there are praise songs that are wonderful new praise songs.
