[186.36 --> 190.78] There's an old book called The Christian in Complete Armor. |
[191.34 --> 192.50] And he writes this. |
[193.52 --> 195.00] If men hear a noise at night. |
[195.06 --> 198.38] This is a while back when people tended to believe in the devil. |
[198.38 --> 201.28] I think nowadays, Dave and Jonathan talked about that. |
[201.44 --> 202.80] Sometimes we even struggle with that. |
[202.88 --> 204.00] But the devil is real. |
[204.54 --> 208.74] So if we hear a noise at night, when it's dark and all that, they cry, the devil, the devil. |
[208.82 --> 209.88] And they run for their lives. |
[210.76 --> 215.14] But they carry the devil around in their hearts all day. |
[217.36 --> 217.74] How? |
[218.92 --> 220.04] In our anxieties. |
[220.86 --> 221.52] In our lusts. |
[222.36 --> 223.16] In our addictions. |
[223.34 --> 224.44] In our self-righteousness. |
[224.52 --> 225.00] In our greed. |
[225.10 --> 225.58] In our pride. |
[225.58 --> 225.62] In our pride. |
[226.56 --> 228.08] And a question then could be asked. |
[228.16 --> 228.76] People of God. |
[228.88 --> 230.70] Why don't we run from our pride? |
[230.80 --> 232.04] Crying the devil, the devil. |
[232.16 --> 234.02] Why don't we run from our lusts? |
[234.02 --> 234.82] Our self-righteous. |
[234.94 --> 236.38] Crying out the devil, the devil. |
[237.60 --> 238.66] From our resentments. |
[238.76 --> 239.44] From our grudges. |
[241.04 --> 244.10] Because you see, when we hold on to a grudge. |
[244.80 --> 247.10] We're opening ourselves up to evil. |
[247.58 --> 250.30] And to the evil's power in our lives. |
[250.30 --> 253.38] When we nurse those sins. |
[253.52 --> 257.90] We open ourselves up to the wrong that wants to consume us. |
[258.94 --> 261.32] In Ephesians 6, Paul says it this way. |
[261.40 --> 262.58] And we looked at it last week. |
[262.76 --> 264.74] He said, put on the full armor of God. |
[264.90 --> 268.64] So you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. |
[268.64 --> 272.56] For our struggle is not against flesh and blood. |
[272.78 --> 273.74] But against the rulers. |
[273.90 --> 274.60] Against the authorities. |
[274.78 --> 276.50] Against the power of this dark world. |
[276.84 --> 279.34] And against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. |
[279.60 --> 281.30] All that is going on. |
[281.90 --> 283.72] All that we need to be aware of. |
[284.44 --> 286.18] And then we fight that. |
[286.72 --> 289.38] Through a fight against our own sinfulness and brokenness. |
[289.38 --> 294.08] So we deal with our pride and our anxiety and our fears. |
[294.58 --> 295.54] And we fight the devil. |
[296.10 --> 298.68] By fighting the lies that we hold on to. |
[300.00 --> 302.84] We shine the light of Christ into our lives. |
[303.00 --> 304.70] So we see what's true. |
[305.06 --> 308.72] And we see what lies exist in us. |
[310.90 --> 316.66] I'm going to take a look at a few areas that will reveal hopefully some lies. |
[316.66 --> 318.66] That we all tend to hold on to. |
[318.78 --> 319.68] Particularly in our culture. |
[320.98 --> 322.98] There's a saying that became popular. |
[323.48 --> 324.38] And it goes like this. |
[325.08 --> 327.50] The heart wants what the heart wants. |
[328.54 --> 329.60] You've heard that before? |
[331.20 --> 332.86] The heart wants what the heart wants. |
[333.40 --> 336.48] And you know, maybe it even sounds almost a little romantic. |
[336.60 --> 337.60] I can't help myself. |
[337.72 --> 338.60] I'm falling in love. |
[338.84 --> 340.64] The heart wants what the heart wants. |
[341.62 --> 344.34] But when you look at the back story of where this comes from. |
[344.34 --> 346.06] It was spoken. |
[346.18 --> 349.46] A line was spoken in an interview with Woody Allen. |
[351.04 --> 352.62] Anyone here know who Woody Allen is? |
[353.64 --> 354.64] There's a few of you. |
[355.10 --> 355.96] All the young people know. |
[356.04 --> 356.64] Not a clue. |
[357.26 --> 357.36] Right? |
[357.96 --> 358.16] Yeah. |
[358.26 --> 359.30] And I get that. |
[360.08 --> 361.44] Woody Allen was a very famous actor. |
[362.58 --> 366.88] He was having an affair with his adopted stepdaughter. |
[367.80 --> 368.76] He was 56. |
[369.00 --> 369.94] She was 21. |
[369.94 --> 373.88] All the while still being in a relationship with her mother. |
[374.10 --> 376.08] Another famous actress named Mia Farrell. |
[378.92 --> 381.18] He was asked, why are you doing this? |
[381.22 --> 383.42] And he said, the heart wants what the heart wants. |
[384.22 --> 384.96] So it's all good, right? |
[386.24 --> 387.84] At least that was the intent. |
[387.84 --> 392.40] The flesh wants what the flesh wants, I guess. |
[393.04 --> 394.82] But I prefer Paul's honesty. |
[394.92 --> 398.84] When Paul looks at the lies that he holds onto and believes in. |
[399.06 --> 401.82] Paul says it a little differently than Woody Allen did. |
[402.08 --> 404.08] Romans 7, Paul says it this way. |
[404.58 --> 407.34] I know that good itself does not dwell in me. |
[407.40 --> 408.76] Isn't that a fascinating way to start? |
[408.94 --> 409.96] An honest way to start. |
[410.18 --> 412.96] I know good doesn't dwell in me. |
[412.96 --> 419.44] I know I have a tendency toward wrong, toward evil, toward sin. |
[420.04 --> 420.14] Right? |
[420.26 --> 421.78] So good did not dwell in me. |
[422.04 --> 423.52] That in my sinful nature. |
[423.82 --> 427.86] I have the desire to do what is good, but I can't carry it out. |
[428.70 --> 429.48] Can you relate? |
[431.30 --> 435.82] For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I don't want to do. |
[436.04 --> 437.78] This I keep on doing. |
