00:00Once again, demons are triggered by the truth being proclaimed. The Sedras from Echo Church
00:05in Australia had a group of four individuals show up to their home threatening to delete them.
00:11They cut off their electricity and they leaked their home address online. I will show you the
00:15video here in just a moment. I'm going to show you who the Sedras are if you're unfamiliar with them.
00:19We'll take a look at the things that they preach, why people would be triggered about it. And then
00:23again, we'll look at this video and see exactly what took place here. And we're going to talk
00:28about it a little bit. Before we get into it though, my name is Cliff Buell. If you're new

00:38this with somebody who needs to see it. First, let's take a look at who the Sedras are. If you
00:42are unfamiliar, we have Andrew and Noling Sedra, and we have Martin and Melissa Sedra. Once again,
00:47they are pastors at Echo Church in Australia, and they are unashamed to preach a message that talks
00:52on the issues of our time surrounding abortion, surrounding gender, surrounding sexuality,
00:57and surrounding Islam. First, I'll show you a video of Martin speaking about Jesus versus
01:02Muhammad that went very viral because he proclaims the truth of both who Jesus is and who Muhammad
01:06is. Take a listen to this to get an idea of how they preach these messages.
01:11When you speak Allah, demons come and death happens. But when you speak the name of Jesus,
01:15demons tremble. While the church is playing the karaoke in the building, the Muslims are declaring
01:20Allah in the streets. And it is sad to say Jesus is the one true God on the street corners.
01:25When you speak the name of Allah, the alive become dead. But when you speak the name of Jesus,
01:30the dead come to life. Muhammad said, kill the infidel. Jesus said, love your enemies. Muhammad
01:34before he died said, may Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. Jesus before he died said, father,
01:38forgive them for they don't know what they do. Muhammad, the woman caught in adultery, they brought
01:41her to his feet. He stoned her to death. Jesus, the woman caught in adultery, said, neither do I
01:45condemn you. Go and sin no more. Muhammad had 11 wives and raped slaves. Jesus honored women and
01:49covered them. Muhammad commands the men that they can beat their wives up. The Bible says, husbands,
01:53love your wives as Christ loved the church. Muhammad started 84 wars and raids in 12 years.
01:58Jesus never had one war in his lifetime and rebuked the disciples when he wanted to destroy
02:02the city. Muhammad is dead and Jesus is alive. Man, there you have it. I mean, powerful, bold truth
02:08all around the block. But you can see why this would very much trigger certain people. But it doesn't
02:13stop there. This is just him speaking on Muhammad in Islam. But they talk about a lot of cultural
02:17issues, as I mentioned. So let's take a look at something they talked about when it comes to
02:20Christians in gay weddings. Should a Christian attend a gay wedding? Of course not. Yes. Love
02:25is not love and lust is not love. There's no such thing as a gay wedding. The Bible has very
02:29clear
02:29boundaries of what marriage is. Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman. For you as a
02:33Christian to stand there and celebrate something that brings a mockery to what God has created,
02:37you can't call yourself a faithful Christian. If you're a dude, why do you want to watch two guys
02:40kissing? That's very gay. Very gay. Why are you gay? You would never go to a strip club to support
02:44your
02:44friend who's a stripper. At the people of God, we do not celebrate that which God hates. Can we stop
02:49saying he's going to get offended? They're going to get offended? Can we change the question? Not
02:52what if they get offended to what if God gets offended? Because remember, your loyalty to God
02:56is greater than your loyalty to your friend. I would rather offend them by not attending the wedding
03:00than offend by God by disobeying him. The only reason you should be going to a gay wedding is if
03:03you're
03:03going to stand up and say, I object and start throwing Bibles at them and start saying, this is a
03:07mockery of my God's design of marriage. So again, very bold in what they're proclaiming, very matter of
03:13fact. And that upsets people. That is going to upset even some Christians, but it is definitely going to upset
03:18people on the other side. Now keep in mind here, at a church, they're talking to Christians. This is
03:22not addressing the world, telling them that they can't go to gay weddings. They're trying to hold
03:25Christians up to a standard of what God has called us to. And so I agree with what they're saying
03:29here.
03:30And I know a lot of people agree with what they're saying here. I know Christians who don't fully agree
03:33with the way that they go about everything they're saying and what they talk about from the pulpit.
03:36But at the end of the day, they are preaching truth and they want to bring people and push people
03:41towards holiness, towards righteousness, towards honoring and giving God glory in everything that we do.
03:47instead of continuing to affirm and allow this plague in our nation to grow and get worse and
03:53worse as we continue to accept and affirm all of these abominations to the Lord. But when you speak
03:59truth, you upset the enemy. You start to really trigger the enemy. Demons get very upset with you
04:06and they're going to do whatever they can to kill, steal, or destroy you. So here we had four people
04:10come
04:10to their house because demons were triggered. We're going to take a look at this video really quick.
04:15As you can already see from the center, there is some cursing in this video. It is kind of bleeped
04:19out, but just in case you have kids or anyone around where you don't want them to hear that,
04:23keep that in mind. And I'm keeping this up so you can read the captions because it's kind of hard
04:27to
04:27hear. There's a dog barking with some of the things she's saying. It's really unbelievable that this is
04:31what we've come to, but take a look. While I have you here, I created an app that blocks your
04:35distracting apps until you read your Bible. It's called First Light Bible and Prayer. You start with a
04:39prayer, then you read the Bible, you mark off which book and chapter you've read,
04:43and then you unlock your apps so that you don't have to get distracted before actually getting
04:47into the Word and spending time with God. I've been using this for the past 120 days. It has
04:52helped me to stay consistent for four months now. If you believe that it can help you to download
04:56First Light Bible and Prayer right now, scan the QR code or click the link in the pinned comment below.
05:25I'll be at your doorstep every night. I know all about you. I know all about you. I know all
05:30about
05:30family. I know everything that you're in.
05:37Milton and all age, we're here. And trust me, we are coming for you.
05:40This is real life. This is what happens when you stand on truth and you start to make a lot
05:45of noise and impact. The enemy gets upset and is going to try to come against you. First Peter 4
05:50says
05:51that when you're insulted for Christ, the spirit of glory and God is on you and that this suffering
05:57is going to take place. The persecution is going to take place. And I know persecution looks different
06:02in so many different forms, but these are real people seeking to harm them, seeking to literally
06:06harm them. Now in Australia, they don't have guns. The government took away their guns. And that's why
06:12in America, we can never give them up because we need to have physical protection. It is okay to
06:18defend yourself. We see in Nehemiah, they had their swords while they were building the wall. They were
06:22ready to defend themselves. Jesus instructs his disciples to get swords to defend themselves. When
06:28Peter used his sword, it was out of pocket and how he used it. He was trigger happy, let's say.
06:33And so
06:34that's why he was corrected in that. But again, they had swords initially because Jesus told them
06:39to purchase swords because we need to be able to defend ourselves. We are not called to just be
06:44walked all over. Turn the other cheek is often misconstrued to talk about we should let people just slap
06:48us around and hit us when it's really actually talking about insults. It's talking about letting
06:52people insult you, right? But it is okay to defend ourselves. So all that to say, they are effectively
06:58unable to defend themselves in Australia because of the laws. And it's very unfortunate, but it is the
07:03reality. And so I don't know if they were home or not home when this happened, but it's wise to
07:07not go
07:08out there. It's wise to not put yourself in harm's way when there is clearly danger. There's just wisdom
07:12in avoiding danger and confrontation when you can. But remember that our battle is not against flesh and
07:17blood. It is a spiritual battle. And so we need to fight spiritually first. We need to be praying and
07:22fasting. We need to be going before the throne, praising the Lord, walking with him, being around
07:27other believers in fellowship and community, encouraging, edifying, building each other up.
07:32This is what we need to be doing, putting on the full armor of God every single day, because these
07:36attacks are going to happen, some that are unseen and some that are very physically real in front of us.
07:41But we need to be prepared. We need to pray for the Sedras. You may not agree with their methods
07:45or
07:45everything that they said or what they do, but they are servants of the Lord. They are brothers
07:49and sisters in Christ, and the enemy is trying to get to them right now. So lift them up that
07:54they
07:54wouldn't be discouraged. They wouldn't live in fear and that ultimately they would be physically
07:57protected and spiritually protected right now. Let me know in the comments if you or someone you know
08:01has ever experienced anything like this before. People coming to their door, coming to their workplace,
08:05coming to seek them out because of preaching the good news of Christ. Share your testimony. Talk about
08:10what's happened, how the Lord has seen victory over these people, and pray also for these individuals
08:15that they would come to know the truth, the truth of who Jesus Christ is, and they would repent from
08:18their wicked ways. Pray for them. Now, if you watched to the end, you're an absolute legend. If you like
