Well we got some questions.

We have some great questions today.

Let's start with Teresa.

She says, since my husband and I have chosen to follow Christ,

many trials have appeared.

Our daughter has had a lot of emotional challenges,

our marriage has been tested, our faith has been tested.

All this plus financial issues.

Before finding Christ, our marriage was rocky,

but we have been doing great until the last two months.

Why is this happening now after we finally

got our marriage on track?

With all the stress, I am now fighting previous alcohol

addictions that I thought were gone.

Please help me understand what's happening!

All right.

First of all, the devil doesn't want to hurt you

as long as you belong to him.

When the time comes he will destroy you.

But up to now, he wants you to be happy with him.

So you've moved into another realm.

And you've moved to the allegiance of Jesus.

And the devil wants to get you back.

And he wants to give you trouble for doing it.

Now, in aviation there is a barrier.

We used to call it the sound barrier,

where you get to a point of speed

and this is an invisible barrier that you have to break through.

And so the plane has to go through that sound barrier.

And when it does, it's buffeted.

It shakes.

And then all of a sudden it goes through.

And then everything is smooth and good.

That's the way it is when you move

into the things of the Lord.

It will be a little rocky until you get through it.

But stay with it.

And you obviously had some addiction problems

along the way.

So you need to hold steady.

And know that God will be with you.

And he will not suffer you to be tempted

above what you are able.

But will make with the temptation a way of escape.

But stay with it.

And the closer you get to the Lord, the more and more

of these insecurities and these troubles.

Use your mouth and bind Satan's power.

Speak the word and say, I bind you and I

forbid you and the forces of evil to hurt me.

Do that.

All right.

What's next?

That's good.

All right.

Virginia says, I've heard about this chip that is going

to be put in people in 2017.

Is this for real because it's kind of scary?

I don't want that chip in me.

I'm a Christian, and if you take that,

are you taking the Mark of the Beast?

Please tell me about it.

I'll tell you, there's so much junk

that goes around that people claim is prophecy

and it's just nonsense.

I don't know anything about a chip in 2017.

They do have implants that are available to identify people.

And they can tattoo on your hand and so forth.

So the technology exists.

But some kind of a mandate-- no way that I've heard of.

All right.

Yeah.

I haven't heard of that, either.

Thank goodness.

All right.

Marie says, I was told that as long

as you do not denounce the Holy Spirit that you

will go to heaven in spite of your lifestyle.

There are no scriptures to validate this, are there?

Not any that I have ever read.

No way.

There's only one thing that gets you to heaven.

And that is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

By grace we are saved.

Through faith, and not of ourselves.

It is a gift of God.

There's only one thing-- is believe in the Lord Jesus

Christ.

Isn't that what Paul said?

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

That's it.

Not denounce the Holy Spirit.

Where do people come up with this stuff?

It's not in the Bible.

All right.

All right.

David says, are we still under the Ten Commandments?

I know what the Bible says about if you obey

the Lord's commandments, He will love you in return.

But the Bible also says that if you

break one of the commandments, you are guilty of all.

Good question.

Look, we're not under the law.

We're under grace.

We're under the graces of different things.

And all those dietary rules and things in the Old Testament

do not apply to those who come to the Lord.

But there are certain foundational principles.

I did a book on the Ten Commandments

showing why it applies to us today.

It is very wise.

All those things about being obedient to your parents,

and not coveting somebody's possessions, and all that.

And don't murder people.

I mean, that is foundational in our law.

We have laws against murder.

We have laws against kidnapping.

We have laws against bearing false witness.

It's built into the warp and woof of the way we live.

So you say, well I'm not under that law.

Well in a sense, you are, because it's

the moral law of the universe.

And we're all under that.
