POWER OF SATAN
MANIFEST TODAY
SAYS Minister Of Peoples Church
BLOWS Down Tabernacle

A crowded church greeted the open
ing Of the first OF the eyangsusuo
services being held in the Peoples
church last night TAG services will
continue all week and are Il follow up
~ the Goodeil services. Rev A, b.,
taylor, pastor of the church, who has
had some extensive experience in
ayanseustIc work has planned to
preach his own sermons and lead the
singing, The first part OF the service
asst evening was given over to song
Jervicc and WAS followed by a sermon,
The general theme OF Mr., Taylors
ermon was the power Of Satan over
present day conditions, An outline Of
the sermon follows;
Subject, How Satin Flinders Gods
Work Today" Text. Thes, 2:lS.
Wherefore we would have come to
you, even 7 Paul, once and again; but
Satan hindered us" The word don't
tell us in what way Satan hiudered
7aul but It tells us he did" said Rev
Taylor.
The bible tells us that Satan is
the prince of this world and he is also
the prince and power Of the air. When
we see how he came to Jesus to try
him as il is given to us In Matt. Attn
Chapter, it makes one tremble to
think that this is the same Satan that
is holding men captive today. There
are very few people who realize the
wonderful power he has. A few years
ago Dir, Munhall, the Methodist
evangelist, was holding meetings in a
large tabernacle out west, and on Sun
day night he announced that he would
preach on the power of Satan next
Thursday. Then he said I would not
be surprised if he sent storm
through here and wrecked our taber-
nacle to prevent me from preaching
on this theme. The very next day the
tabernacle was torn to pieces with a
storm, and DR.. Munhall was COM
PEELED TO preach his sermon on the
ruins Of the tabernacle. If you will
read the first chapter Of job, you will
see how this is possible today,
I'm the first place Satan binders
our prayers. In Daniel 10; IS. The
angel Of the Lord came to Daniel and
told him that his prayer was heard
at first, but Satan hindered the answer
for p days. So he binders prayers
today.
Then he binders by causing con-
tention among the Christians. In
Cor. i'll Paul tells the Corinthians
that there are contentious among
them. There is where Satan gets In
his work today and stops the progress
Of Gods work, Then again he hind
ers by causing Gods people to sin. Ii
| Cor, 21:1 he caused David to sin
by numbering Gods people. Then in
Job 1:6, We see him going before the
Lord to accuse of that sin.
He also binders by telling people
that they need their rest, you are not
able to go to those meetings. Jesus
continually poured out his life, and at
nights when others were sleeping he
was praying, and while others were
resting he was working. There never
can be victory without sacrifice, and
If you think that men and women can
be won for the Lord without you Civ
ing your best you will be sadly mis-
taken. Again Satan hinders by keep
ing men bound. In Luke 1915.
Jesus said Of a person who was there
before him, that she had been bound
by Satan for is years. Now If Satan
could bound a person for IS years IN
Christ's time there is no question
about him being able to binf men to-
day. There is only one way to break
the bands. Jesus said to the man at
the pool of Bethesda, (Jno,5;6) Wilt
thou be made whole?
80 that is the great question today.
# you have not allowed Jesus to
break the bands that bind you, you
are bound by Satan, Christ is willing
to loose you and let you so If you VIII
permit Him to do so.
while in an Evangelistic meeting
at Weston, w. Va. an old judge sat
in our meeting every night. When we
/ talked to him he said that he was
In inndel, He was pleaded with more
