So this week, once again, there's something happened
0:03
A very unexpected thing that happened to me. And it is something that I never imagined that would happen to me one day
0:13
So it happened just yesterday. I woke up in the morning doing the usual thing that I do
0:20
I happen to my computer. And then I checked out my YouTube channel
0:26
and then I went to my home page of the YouTube channel and
0:33
I can't recognize it I could not recognize it anymore I was thinking maybe I have the wrong address
0:40
and so I click again and click this is really my home address
0:44
what's happening instead of becoming Christians the page is full of videos of SpaceX
0:52
I'm not really sure what happened And so what I did is I luck into my account and it is really my account
1:02
Although all my videos are gone, I cannot find it. And so it's done to me that I was ha
1:14
My YouTube channel was ha. And so the thoughts flooding back to my mind, I was thinking, oh no, all those videos
1:25
All those efforts, the time and energy I put into this traffic, in this website, in this channel
1:33
it's going to go to waste everything that I've done after doing promotion, doing my best to get a lot of subscribers
1:42
And then it was just hacked. And I don't know what to do
1:47
And so my heart was pounding faster and faster. And at that morning, it's very cold
1:51
It gets even colder. My feet gets clammy and I get sweaty
1:56
My palms are getting sweaty and I was really nervous because I don't know what's happening
2:02
And so I asked help to those I know who probably might have known what had happened
2:09
And so I stopped. I just breathe in. And then I prayed, please help me
2:17
And I don't know what to do. And then I just composed myself and I look into the day
2:22
this and so I understand what happened. So this hacker was able to get into my account and thankfully he did not delete my videos
2:36
He just turned the visibility from public into private, right? So he could have done that
2:43
He could have deleted it but he chose not to and I'm so thankful. Thank you hacker
2:48
I should not have been thinking the hacker at this time, but thankfully he didn't do that
2:52
He did not delete my videos. He just made it private. So I could just easily turn it back to visit to public
3:02
And so what he did was he made a playlist of this SpaceX videos, all of those things
3:14
And he posted it on my page. So everything that you see on the page are all about his videos
3:22
And so I think what he wants to do is that he wants to get traffic from these accounts that he app
3:29
and then he gets free traffic from all those subscribers that we have
3:34
And so, thankfully, I was able to remove, change my password, remove those things
3:43
and then restored my videos, put it back to, although some of you might have seen it
3:51
It still have some names of SpaceX, but I hope that it's just the cash that it would just go back to normal
3:59
So all these things, I don't know if you have been hacked. My wife has been hacked, and she told me that it's really an unpleasant experience
4:08
You just don't like how to go through that, especially if your financial details had been hacked
4:17
that is very difficult to cope. And so I was thinking that if this happened to me, someone who is already, I would say an average, I have a knowledge, I would say I have a competitive knowledge about computers and how it works
4:34
If this happened to me, it could also happen to people who are just, maybe have average knowledge about the computer
4:42
Now, if you think about it, brethren, all right? If you think about it, do you know that there is
4:50
one hacker that does not just hack computers? He doesn just hack to steal personal information personal accounts This hacker is someone who can hack the world system And because he can hack the system in this world
5:12
he's able to control the system. And he's able to influence the world's systems
5:22
And I would say that this is the greatest hacker of all time
5:28
And probably you already know, who I'm talking about. This is Satan, the devil
5:34
He is the greatest hacker who has already hacked into this world
5:39
And if you're not careful, brethren, Satan can use the system of the world that he has already
5:45
hacked to influence us. So that's why, brethren, I would like to discuss
5:54
this afternoon. Who is this greatest hacker? How he works? how he works, and most importantly, how we can overcome this hacker, Satan, the devil
6:07
So let's do this. Let's learn more about his tactics so that we would be able to know more about how we can overcome Satan, the greatest hacker
6:19
So I've done a little bit of research about hacking, and there are three ways that hackers, actually there's a lot of ways, but there are three categories
6:28
but there are three categories that they have. There are three things
6:32
The first one is data breach, and then the second one is social engineering
6:39
and then the third one is middleman. Among these three, data breach and social engineering
6:48
are the most common methods that they use. So let's go to the data bridge
6:57
Data bridge happened. when data breach is something that they don't attack the victim directly
7:06
What they do is they attack the website. So for example, if you are on Facebook, if you are in Instagram, you're on Twitter
7:17
they're not going to attack you directly. What they're going to do is they would attack the platform itself
7:23
And by doing so, they would be able to hack into the system
7:27
and get all your account details. That's data breach. Now, don't think that you are safe here
7:35
because everyone actually has already been, their data has already been leaked
7:42
If you recall, brethren, I have looked into this, that Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter
7:47
have all been hacked before. So it means that your data could already be out there
7:55
So these hackers, depending on how they do it, but most hackers would sell your data to the deep web
8:03
or I would say the underground syndicates, things like that. So you might be wondering that sometimes you receive a text message and you wonder
8:13
how does this scammer even know my number? Dibba, my text now
8:17
Oh, your video account has already been deactivated, please do something, go to this
8:23
You already have that. And sometimes I would say, this is my new roaming number
8:30
Please send me 500 pesos or anything like that. So actually, these are the works of the hackers
8:39
And look at this, brethren. Do you know that the average cost of cyber breach or cyber data breach in 2022
8:48
This is the average cost, huh? Was $4.35 million. 4.35 million dollars
8:57
Now, according to some estimate, cyber crime has caused the global economy
9:03
roughly 7, not million, 7, not billion, but 7 trillion. Grape
9:12
If you just can imagine how much money that is, $7 trillion just because of cyber data breach
9:19
That's how much hackers. Now, This is why brethren, Satan used the same tactics to hack into our lives
9:32
Sometimes, of course, he can also do this, but he will not attack you directly
9:37
but he will hack the system in this world so that he could get inside you
9:43
All right? Look at this, brethren. In 1st John 519, all right
9:48
You might have already read this before. 1st Gen 519 says, we know that we are of God
9:54
And the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one
9:59
Satan has already half the world system. That why this whole world is under his own influence And even in Second Corinthians 4 verse 4 you already know that that he is the God of this world And also in Revelation 12 verse 9 he has deceived the whole world
10:17
So how does Satan use the world to get through our system
10:23
So this is the main scripture that I want us to look into
10:30
1 John 2 verses 15 to 16 this is very important brethren because this is how
10:38
Satan hacked into the system 1 John 2 says here
10:53
do not love the world or the things in the world so
11:00
The Apostle John is not saying that we should not love people, right? He was saying that do not love the system of this world
11:07
Because, or the things in this world. Think about it, brethren. Think about the different systems in this world
11:14
And you would see the fingerprints of Satan all over the world
11:20
Think about it. Think about the educational system. The political system. D'ba
11:26
Think about the financial system. The economic system. this world. It's all been influenced by Satan. And even the religious system of this world has already been influenced by Satan. So Satan is using his influence all these systems so that he could hack into our mind. That's why Yeshua was saying that do not, not Joshua, from the Apostle John was writing that do not love the world or the things in the world
12:00
Why? If you go into verse 17? Because the world is passing away and the last of it
12:08
But he who does the will of God abides forever. So you can see here, brethren, that we should not love the world or the things in the world
12:19
You see, brethren, this is what important point I want us to realize
12:24
The more you love the world, the less love you will have for the father
12:30
But, okay, the more you love God, the father, you will have less love to the world
12:39
Can you just imagine that, brother? You cannot simply love both the world and the father
12:45
It doesn't work that way. You have to simply choose one. You cannot love both
12:51
Because, God wants us to only have one wife, one spouse. Because if you have multiple wives, you cannot honestly say that you love them equally
13:00
that's why brethren the apostle of jah is saying that do not love the world and then if you continue here brethren if anyone loves the world the love of the world the love of the father is not in him verse 16 for all that is in the world all right notice this the last of the flesh the last of the ice and the pride of life is not of the father but is of the world
13:29
So these are the three ways that Satan is using, which is from the world, to get into our mind
13:39
He's using the last of the flesh. What is this? This is referring to the carnal cravings of our flesh
13:48
It could refer to pleasures, could be about sexual immorality, could be about, I have read, I have
13:59
written it here. It could be about, it's in a form of food or it could be in a form
14:06
of substance abuse. What about the last of the eyes? It refers to our desires
14:12
for things that are visually appealing, which involve greed, materialism, and coventusness
14:20
How about the pride of life? It refers to the desire to feel important to be higher
14:26
in status than in other people. This is basically the me first attitude and the tendency
14:32
to boast of all our accomplishments, abilities and skills. So that's why, brethren, if you
14:37
observe, why does a person stop attending church services? Why? Because of the last of the flesh
14:46
Because he could see that attending church, it doesn't give me that
14:51
much reward. The reward is out there. The world could give me this
14:56
pleasure that it's boring to be in the church. It's boring to
14:59
sit down, listen to the messages. Why do I have to listen to someone
15:04
giving me sermon? I can go out there. That why brethren that why brethren there people who commit adultery because the last of eyes Because they think ah my wife is not attractive anymore
15:22
That person is more attractive. She takes my breath away. I could not stop thinking about her
15:30
So that's why there's adultery. And how about the pride of life
15:35
Because you cannot actually, you cannot gain high status in the church
15:42
if you want to be recognized be highly respected that's how people will serve you
15:49
you have to go out there make a name for yourself so Satan
15:55
actually is giving an attractive rewards to those lovers of the world
16:02
but the problem is this brethren if you are going to put your home
16:07
into this world? Yahshua or the Bible tells us that this world will
16:13
fade away. Have you tried to build a sand castle, brethren? I was a young child, I've done that
16:24
And even if you have you have made a beautiful sand castle, very elaborate
16:29
and it is very you might have used your engineering skills, everything that you
16:35
It's just very beautiful. But in the morning, brethren, where's that sandcastle
16:42
It's already washed away to the water. Are we building sandcastles, brethren
16:48
Are we going to give in to the last of the flesh of the ice and the pride of life
16:55
Because if we do, brethren, the greatest hacker will get into our mind
17:00
So instead of doing this, brethren, what is our solution? We have already talked about who is the greatest hacker
17:08
what he's doing to hack into our mind. So the most important question now is
17:12
how are we going to overcome the hacker? Let's go to Romans 12, verse 1
17:24
I know you have already read this, but I just want to revisit this verse
17:29
Very important in overcoming the hacker. It says here, verse 1. 12 verse 1
17:36
I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies
17:41
a living sacrifice holy accepted to God which is your reasonable service verse 2 this is not
17:47
this is where I want us to focus and do not be
17:51
conformed to this world do not be conformed do not let the hacker get into your mind
17:56
do not be influenced by this world system but instead what should you do says
18:03
be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable
18:13
and perfect will have gone you know what brethren how do you avoid getting hacked
18:20
in computers they have this antivirus software all right that is this is also what the Bible is telling us
18:29
that we should install an anti-virus software in our mind. And that is the Holy Spirit
18:36
The Holy Spirit could help us in preventing, in battling or combating
18:43
the influence of Satan and prevent our minds into getting up. Now remember, he said
18:48
renew your mind. You know why, brethren? Because you don't simply install antivirus software
18:57
You have to update it regularly, right? You have to update it
19:01
because the scammers are getting smarter. They know how to upgrade also their game. That's why you also have to upgrade your
19:09
anti-virus software. And how do you do that? By Bible study, by meditation, by prayer
19:16
and also by fasting. Those things would help you renew your mind so that you could effectively
19:25
overcome the evil influence of the greatest hacker. So brethren, I hope that this has given
19:32
a new understanding of the evil tactics of Satan, the hacker. He has already hacked the world, brethren, and he is after our mind
19:43
He have hacked the world, but it doesn't mean that also our mind
19:48
So, brethren, but by not loving this world and renewing our minds
19:54
we will surely win this spiritual battle. Hello, friends, I need your help
