Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.50,0:07:12.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now obviously they can have an evil spirit

Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.19,0:07:47.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you do belong to Him, you have the Spirit,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.42,0:07:50.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and where that Spirit is, it's the Holy Spirit
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.42,0:07:52.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'll tell you this, unclean spirits
