| 0:30.0 | My brothers and sisters, yes we do have enemies. We may know some of them and |
| 0:35.8 | perhaps we don't know some of them. But the biggest enemy is the devil, Shaitan. |
| 0:41.0 | He makes us think at times beyond the level that we are supposed to be |
| 0:47.0 | thinking upon and we start doubting people. He creates fear in our hearts. |
