And it's like when I was in L.A. not long ago, there were these fires, you know, the L.A. fires. It was so weird to me that there were these firemen like giving their lives to fight these fires and trying to like save people and houses and animals and all the things.
meanwhile like so much of LA was just going on like normal like I mean they were like I saw a dude on Venice Beach getting a massage you know other people were skateboarding I'm like dude there's a fire right there and I think we think about spiritual warfare like that like oh yeah there's angels and demons fighting all around us but until it impacts me until it impacts my house I'm not even concerned about it until I have to step into the war but the reality is you're in the war right now whether you realize it or not

The enemy is fighting you. You have demons around you. Like one third of the angelic realm fell with Satan. And those fallen angels, they're trying to keep you out of right relationship with God. This is why your quiet time is hard. This is why the Bible doesn't make sense when you read it. This is why when you pray, you feel like you're just talking to the air and that God feels far.

And that's why I'm like, that's where the enemy works. And so Your Story Has a Villain is just really about that, your story, your narrative here on earth. You have an enemy. He hates you, and he's not afraid of you. But he's terrified of Jesus. So you want to be close to Jesus. Psalm 23, you know, the Lord is my shepherd. The pronouns change in that psalm.

are with me your rod and your staff they come for me in the valley of the shadow of death the sheep draw near to the shepherd because the shepherd is their protection and so that's the solution satan's not afraid of you satan's never been anywhere near you by the way he's not omnipresent he can only be in one place at one time demons have been around you but satan doesn't even know who who we are you know he's he's in somewhere with kings and rulers and
