How many of you all are 54 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,560 currently tithing?

How do we draw near to you? 64 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,440 He says this in tithes and offerings. 65 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320 You forsaking me get back, return and doing that. 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,280 The New Testament says this, you can't serve 2 masters and also 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560 says where your treasure is. That's where your heart will be. 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Your tithing consistently is the way you can anchor yourself into 69 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,920 the faithfulness of God. Your faithfulness and your 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,160 tithing is a way to anchor and connect yourself to the 71 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,400 faithfulness of God. Are you paying for God? 72 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,079 Are you buying God though you're not? 73 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,800 But what you are doing is putting your treasure in a place 74 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,040 where that's connecting it with God. 75 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,520 You're putting your treasure in an eternal place. 76 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,840 You're opening yourself to generosity in ways that allow 77 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,200 God to flow through you in greater measure. 78 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,600 So make sure that through the end of this year, you'll be 79 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,600 diligent to that and it consistent with that. 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Also too, we're doing a remnant project. 81 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,960 Ask God, pray, see God. God, how can I participate at 82 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,680 the end of the year in a different sort of way? 83 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,840 How can I give an extra cheer? How can I give an extra gift? 84 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:53,880 How can I give something extra generous? 85 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,320 As we move forward to the remnant project as the end of 86 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 the year, we got about 350,000. We're trying to raise in this 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,000 phase what we're doing right now. 88 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,480 Next quarter, we have about maybe another half a million to 89 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680 go to through furnaces and things like that. 90 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,440 But our focus right now is about 350,000 or so. 91 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,320 And so let's finish strong. Let's finish strong. 92 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,360 Let the world know that we believe in the God we serve. 93 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,160 Let the world know that our gods were sacrificing for. 94 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,840 Let the world know that we willing to put our all into what 95 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,800 God is doing for us because God's putting all into us. 96 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,160 Amen. It's an opportunity that we 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400 have, believe me. I want to tell you, one of the 98 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,480 things big investors look at is how much you've put in yourself. 99 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,880 How much skin do you have in the game? 100 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Because why should I bet on you? Why should I invest with you 101 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,440 when you're not going to invest in yourself? 102 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,560 And it's not about getting other people, but it's about saying, 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880 God, I'm investing in what you're doing. 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,080 We're doing it ourselves, God, we're counting together in 105 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,520 ourselves. And as you do, God sees how much 106 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,960 we're investing in what he's doing. 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,280 And that releases some other things in his life. 108 00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,960 Amen. Amen, Amen. 109 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 So you have some different ways to give and there's some up here 110 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,640 you can you can do we we're going to change this. 111 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,800 We're going to put generous in front of everyone. 112 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,640 You can generously square, you can generously tightly, you can 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,560 generously E transfer, you can generously check and you can 114 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,000 generously give cash as well.

And I'm telling you, if you have 118 00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:37,440 to make a choice, make a commitment to tithe even from 119 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,160 remnant, because tithing is going to create a lifestyle of 120 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520 generosity. And before long you'll build a 121 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,000 wave after wave after wave of generosity and press special 122 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200 giving opportunities like the remnant will follow soon 123 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,040 thereafter.

Y'all, y'all, y'all picking up 140 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,960 what I'm putting down today. Let's just jump right into this, 141 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,920 right into this word. Today we have an opportunity to 142 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,120 share the Word of God. And I always thank the pastors 143 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440 for opportunity to share the Word of God. 144 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 And I thank you for the way that they continue to increase the 145 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,760 degree of difficulty in sharing the Word of God with you all. 146 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,880 Y'all don't blame them kinda. But you know, it's one thing 147 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,360 usually when we get up here and I get up to share a word, y'all 148 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080 don't know what I'm saying. Y'all ain't got no idea where 149 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,240 I'm coming from. So you have no idea where I'm 150 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,960 going and really just have expectations to receive, right. 151 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160 But when the pastors say, yeah, Elder John, you're going to be 152 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,480 talking about the psychology of deception, I'm like, man, why 153 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,720 are you going to tell all them that? 154 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,159 You could have just told me, right? 155 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,799 So it's so it's a different lift and everybody know what's 156 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:44,000 supposed to be coming. Does that make sense even though 157 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520 y'all don't know? No, I jokingly say that, but I 158 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,680 do appreciate our pastors putting trust in US. 159 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,120 And the, and the thing I'm I'm really appreciating this moment 160 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,880 is how he's trusting us to continue to move things forward, 161 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,520 right? They're saying we need you to 162 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,280 continue the work and move it forward, not just keep it where 163 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,920 it was to protect what was done. And so we appreciate these 164 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,840 times, pastors, we thank you, appreciate you. 165 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Our blessings and our prayers are with them. 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,720 Can we just pray with them? Very quickly, they have an 167 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,720 opportunity to present the vision for our church and our 168 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,320 community and with a group of people who said we want to 169 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,880 support, we want to step up, we want to give in to what you're 170 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,560 doing. And so they're going to be doing 171 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:26,240 that later today. But I want to take a moment to 172 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,040 pray for that in this moment. It's connected with our 173 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,280 offering, not giving. Father, we thank you for your 174 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,840 favor. We thank you for your grace. 175 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,880 We hope, God, that the biggest thing that comes across is the 176 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,600 joy, the biggest thing that comes across, the joy of 177 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,320 serving, the joy of giving, the joy of building, the joy of the 178 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360 Lord. Then we're a House of praise and 179 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160 a House of celebration. Father, we thank you God, them 180 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,080 as they speak, men's hearts and women's hearts are open and 181 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,720 inclined done to them. God, we think that the heavens 182 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,360 are ready to respond, the angels are ready to respond, the earth 183 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400 is ready to respond, and the atmosphere is ready to respond 184 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,080 in that space. And even more God than speaking 185 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,000 and sharing, in order for us to receive, let them release the 186 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240 word that changes the lives of everyone there. 187 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,400 Let them release the word that amplifies the passion, the 188 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,800 purpose, the call and the generosity of the hero is God. 189 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,440 Let them speak a word, then fuels and fires the leaders as 190 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,960 to what God can do and to what's possible. 191 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,160 God let them transform the lives of the people and the leaders 192 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,040 that are there. Let them walk away more 193 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,440 encouraged even then they generously support what is that 194 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440 we're doing? Father, we thank you in Jesus 195 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,680 name, Amen, Amen. Testimonies, testimonies, 196 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,120 testimonies. So let's let's jump right into 197 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:45,280 this. The psychology of deception, the 198 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,080 psychology of deception, the psychology of deception. 199 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,680 First of all, the nature of the deception reveals the psychology 200 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,920 of the deception, the nature of the deception. 201 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,400 So what does that mean? That means you got to see what 202 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,800 kind of deception you're talking about. 203 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520 If I can see what you're trying to do in deceiving, that gives 204 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,720 me a better sense of the psychology that goes behind it. 205 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,680 Does that make sense? OK, so the nature of the 206 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:15,560 deception reveals the psychology of the deception. 207 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640 So when we talk about the psychology of deception, we have 208 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,200 to look at the nature of the deception. 209 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,960 So 2nd Corinthians 11 pass is going to develop this more when 210 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,880 he comes back. But I want to just touch base on 211 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,840 this a little bit as to some of the kinds of things and some of 212 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,000 the aspects of deception that we see 2nd Corinthians 11. 213 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,080 I know it's a small print, but sometimes I like to get things 214 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,800 on just on one screen so you can see it all together rather than 215 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,560 switch to to different sides, right? 216 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400 It says this. So Paul's talking to some people 217 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,240 who are questioning Paul's credentials. 218 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600 OK, this is the Second Corinthians. 219 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,200 It's already a first Corinthians. 220 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160 The first Corinthians. Paul wrote to them and said, 221 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,080 listen, y'all doing these mighty acts of power, signs, wonders 222 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,360 and miracles, but your lives are tore up, Your love walk is tore 223 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440 up, your relationship to each other's tore up. 224 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,800 OK, you're not trying to strengthen yourselves and walk 225 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,160 in the way God needs you to walk. 226 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,920 There's confusion in your ministry, confusion when you 227 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,040 gather together because everyone's trying to show the 228 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,160 kind of gift they have. That was the first letter, this 229 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960 second letter to Corinthians. So by that from that time to 230 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,520 this, apparently someone's come down and said, man, Paul don't 231 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600 know what he's talking about, right? 232 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Paul's talking, trying to manipulate you, trying to use 233 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,160 you, trying to draw you to himself. 234 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,360 He's not trying to follow what God is doing. 235 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:44,960 It's a nice writing to these people. 236 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,680 And he said, listen, I wish you would bear with me a while. 237 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:51,560 I indulge a little foolishness, so bear with me, he says. 238 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,200 I'm zealous for you with the godly eagerness and a divine 239 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,560 jealousy, for I've betrothed you to one husband to present you as 240 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,000 a chaste version to Christ. But I'm fearful lest that even 241 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,040 as the serpent beguiled Eve, everyone say Eve by his cunning. 242 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,320 So your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted 243 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,240 and sincere pure devotion to Christ. 244 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,160 So he's saying, listen, I've preached to Christ to you, I've 245 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,440 shared Jesus with you in a way that allows you to be wed to 246 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,280 him, for you to know who you are in him and who he is in you, 247 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,640 God's purpose for you. I've created an atmosphere for 248 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,000 you to know God, his Father, and even more to know his that he's, 249 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,920 that Jesus considers you his bride. 250 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,560 He's willing to give his life for you that way. 251 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,640 I've done that. I'm concerned, though, that 252 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,560 there's some corruption that's happening. 253 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,160 Having done that. OK, And why do I know there's 254 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200 some corruption happening because of this? 255 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,360 Because you seem ready to endure it. 256 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,560 If someone comes and preaches another Jesus, you're 257 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,840 disqualifying me. But if someone come preaches an 258 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,680 easier Jesus, you're saying Amen, Amen. 259 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,240 If someone's preaching a softer Jesus, you're saying Amen, Amen. 260 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,800 If someone's coming to preach to you a Jesus, that's not 261 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,040 requiring you to love your enemies and just focus on loving 262 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,520 the people that love you. He's saying Amen, Amen to that. 263 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,320 He said, listen, I'm concerned because it seems like you're 264 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,800 very willing to listen to another person extol a different 265 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,240 apostle, a different sent one. If they going to preach another 266 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,560 Jesus to you, the one that we preach, or if you receive a 267 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,880 different spirit or if you receive a different gospel, you 268 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,800 going to tolerate all of that well enough. 269 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,800 So what he's saying here is this, there can be a deception 270 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,640 about another Jesus, another gospel. 271 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,680 Remember to understand the psychology of deception, you 272 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,840 have to understand kind of what the deception is, what's what 273 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,040 they're trying to deceive you from. 274 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,360 Sometimes it's not trying to deny Jesus. 275 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Sometimes the deception is another Jesus. 276 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:14,920 Right, Yes, Jesus is love, but love wouldn't hold you 277 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,240 accountable like that. Love would stroke you and pat 278 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,320 you. Love wouldn't confront you with 279 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,480 a statement that says you brood, you brood Vipers. 280 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,840 Love would always be like, it's going to be OK, it's going to be 281 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,560 OK. See, that's another Jesus, 282 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,800 right? Jesus is love. 283 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,160 That means he's going to always encourage you and comfort you. 284 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,560 The Jesus that comes and turns over tables, that's a different 285 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,560 Jesus, right, Right. Jesus will come and turn over 286 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,240 tables as much as he would sometimes come in and, and, and 287 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520 stroke you and pat you and all those different kind of things. 288 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,280 What Jesus are you preaching? What Jesus are you listening to? 289 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Sometimes the deception is not in not Jesus at all, but another 290 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,000 Jesus or another spirit or another gospel. 291 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,320 What's another gospel? Hey, I know you think the way to 292 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,720 get to God is through Jesus and through the Father and and like 293 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,440 that, and I know you say God, I receive that by faith. 294 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,160 But then after you receive it by faith, you got to make sure you 295 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,240 serve. You see what I just said? 296 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,400 Now you've just received it by faith, so it can be by grace, 297 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720 and now you're adding something else to it to qualify it. 298 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,560 I know you've received Jesus, but after you receive Jesus, 299 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,240 then you've got to serve. Now, do we preach serving right 300 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:41,760 here? Yeah. 301 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,120 We don't preach it as a means of salvation. 302 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,160 We say it's the place where you get to understand who you are. 303 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,440 And this discipleship that happens, it's not because of 304 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,040 what's required for you to receive Christ. 305 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520 Does that make sense? OK, another Jesus. 306 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800 So that's that's part of 11 type of this session. 307 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,720 Today we're going to go over 2 sessions. 308 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,119 So I'm really taking my time to set a foundation here, right? 309 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,680 So for those that are here getting the foundation, come 310 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,920 back and get the fullness of the picture. 311 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:24,359 For those that are here getting the foundation, when people come 312 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,800 who weren't here this morning, pray for them that they get up 313 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,320 to speed because I'm not going to actually do this kind of 314 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,720 foundation in the next next time. 315 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,840 Does that make sense? Why are you doing that? 316 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,200 Because you have to understand we're not just preaching to 317 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,600 people. We're preaching to atmospheres. 318 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:57,280 We're preaching to moments. OK, so the so the demons and the 319 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,200 enemies of God, that's going to be here for the next message. 320 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760 They are here already, not people. 321 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,800 I'm talking about atmospheres. So we're setting a course for 322 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,240 all those that would listen to try to oppose the work of God. 323 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,840 Here is our foundation on which we stand. 324 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Come fight that, right? And so we need to do this work 325 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,880 of setting this foundation. That's really important. 326 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,280 We're talking about deception. You need to have a solid 327 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,400 foundation if you're going to deal with deception in your 328 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,400 life. Amen. 329 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,480 Amen. So what is deception about 330 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,360 Jesus? A different spirit, a different 331 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:37,560 gospel. Matthew 24 says this. 332 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,400 And because of iniquity shall bound the love of many, shall 333 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,680 wax cold. Part of the deception of dealing 334 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,960 with this Jesus and this gospel and this Spirit is to create a 335 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,400 space where your love begins to grow cold. 336 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:06,280 Your love begins to grow cold. Matthew 2424 says this. 337 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,440 For there are false Christs and false prophets will arise and 338 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,200 they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and 339 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,880 lead astray, if possible, even the elect of God. 340 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:19,600 But can you go back to the the previous screen, previous verse. 341 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,200 That's Matthew 24. Go back to the next slide. 342 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,800 No, the one, the one after the the one. 343 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,640 Yeah, that's Matthew 24 St. chapter. 344 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,920 OK, go back to the previous one, Matthew. 345 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,800 Yeah. 12 it says the love of many shall wax cold. 346 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,440 Notice how cold love walk precedes false prophets 347 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:54,520 deceiving. OK, He's saying because of the 348 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,520 iniquity that's in the earth, because of what you see, because 349 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,640 it seems like it's not getting better, you ready? 350 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,200 Because it seems like the wicked never get punished. 351 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,200 Part of what's happening in that love of God growing cold, part 352 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,160 of what happens in that is you're saying this. 353 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,160 What matters is what makes difference is to serve God. 354 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,440 I see people who deny him being exalted and somehow having 355 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,720 success in the earth. I look at the character of 356 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,920 people who we esteem and who we profile. 357 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,920 And no one is dealing with the character issues. 358 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:32,720 No one's even speaking to the character issues as long as they 359 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,480 get what they want. That can make you get a little 360 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,040 jaded and cause your love to grow cold. 361 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,480 But notice it's the growing of cold in the love of God that 362 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:55,280 precedes the next slide, Matthew 24, 24 False prophets in Christ 363 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920 will arise. So what they're trying to tell 364 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,280 you is the deception is trying to deceive you to not walk in 365 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,960 the love of God. It's trying to deceive you and 366 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,560 part away from the love of God. Because if I can deceive you 367 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,120 from the love, I can deceive you into the false prophets. 368 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,120 Because false prophets will do signs and wonders as well. 369 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,120 What's the difference between a false prophet sign and a true 370 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,600 prophet sign? The motivation, the love that 371 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,960 motivates it, That's the difference between the two, 372 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040 right? It's going to be so close you 373 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,880 won't be able to tell based on what's happening. 374 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,760 The way you're going to tell is by the motivation, the source of 375 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,480 where it's coming from. So one of the deceptions is to 376 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,080 get you deceived out of the love of God. 377 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:55,840 Amen. Second Timothy 3 and this is how 378 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,880 deep the deception from love will be. 379 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,720 This is how deep man, why do you love people? 380 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:04,000 Why you forgive? Why don't you focus on you? 381 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,680 This, this know also that in the last days now we in the last 382 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,080 days now because Jesus said we was in the last days, He's on 383 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,160 the earth. So we know we in the last days 384 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,560 now, OK, for men shall be lovers of their own selves. 385 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,440 So they're going to transfer their love for God to loving 386 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,080 themselves. It's all about me. 387 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,240 It doesn't mean you're not supposed to love yourself 388 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,160 because the scripture says what's the two commandments? 389 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,680 Love God, love God. Somebody got to know it in the 390 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,400 room because you got folks here that know it. 391 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,800 Love God, love your heart, soul, mind and strength and then love 392 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,240 your neighbors. You love yourself, right? 393 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,760 So you do have to love yourself. So what's the difference between 394 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,040 that and this? OK, the difference is the focus 395 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,240 here is loving yourself. The focus there is loving God. 396 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,280 And loving God you come to love yourself. 397 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,840 And now that I know who I am and who how God, maybe I'm able to 398 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,000 love other people that way. The focus is not loving yourself 399 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800 in the initial case, loving God with all your heart, soul, mind 400 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,400 and strength. Here's all about me, all about 401 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,680 how I look. Men shall be lovers of their own 402 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,360 selves, covetous boasters, proud blasphemers. 403 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,440 Disobedient to parents. Disobedient to parents. 404 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Disobedient to parents. Disobedient to parents, 405 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,640 disobedient to parents. It don't say teenagers 406 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,880 disobedient to parents, it just says disobedient to parents. 407 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:45,400 My parents are dead. They're gone, but you know I can 408 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,680 still be disobedient dishonoring 2 of them even though they're 409 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,600 not here. It don't say parents that are 410 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,880 alive keep preaching John, keep moving unthankful. 411 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,120 What's unthankful great is your faithfulness. 412 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,600 You faithful forever God. Thank you for your faithfuls. 413 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,120 God be faithful and then I clap as this. 414 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,760 Are you really thankful? Unthankful. 415 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,080 Notice how unthankful perceives unholy. 416 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,240 Notice how disobedient the parents perceives unthankful. 417 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,160 What does that mean? Your parents may not have been 418 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,600 great parents, but are you thankful for the right they did 419 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,360 do? Are you thankful for the fact 420 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:48,800 they didn't abort you? Are you thankful for the fact 421 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,360 that they gave you the best? You don't know their story. 422 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,280 Maybe they was broken and they felt that they weren't able to 423 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,120 be parents to you. Are you grateful for, if not 424 00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,800 your parents, the fact that God put you in that family? 425 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,600 Why? Because God has gifts in that 426 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,200 bloodline He's trying to get to you. 427 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,880 Are you thankful for what comes to the bloodline of your 428 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,520 parents? Are you parents? 429 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Thankfulness unholy, without natural effects and shoes 430 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,000 Breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despises of 431 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,960 those that are good? What's despises of those that 432 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,840 are good? Man? 433 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,320 Why y'all do all that celebration man? 434 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,560 Now just the club. Why you despise those that are 435 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960 celebrating, those that are joyful, those that are that 436 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:40,360 acknowledging the goodness of God, traitors, heady, high 437 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:44,400 minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a 438 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,040 form of godliness but denying the power thereof is a power. 439 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,680 Ephesians says you need the power of God to understand the 440 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,200 love of God. Amen. 441 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,120 St. Corinthians 2 Timothy 4 says 442 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:04,120 this for the time is coming when people will not tolerate sound 443 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800 and wholesome instructions, but having ears itchy for something 444 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,640 pleasing and gratifying. Why? 445 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,400 Because if the love of God won't satisfy you, nothing will. 446 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,240 You're looking for love in all the other places, all the wrong 447 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,760 places. You're trying to manufacture a 448 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,600 love that satisfies you, rather than introduce to the love that 449 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,960 God is. When I tolerate sound and 450 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,360 wholesome instructions, but having the ears itchy for 451 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,600 something pleasing, gratifying they would gather to themselves 452 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,120 1 teacher after another, to considerable number chosen to 453 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:41,680 satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold. 454 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,480 You are literally picking people to help you stay stupid. 455 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600 You are picking people to help you stay stuck. 456 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,520 And how they amplifying your stuckness is the measure on 457 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,200 which you pick them. Now they don't say it that way. 458 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,720 How's it said? They understand me. 459 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,440 Their gifts speak to my gifts. So I'm only going to lift the 460 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,040 people who speak to my gifts rather than challenge me and 461 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,760 hold me accountable for my character. 462 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:26,400 Y'all got it? Let me do something really quick 463 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:41,040 here. So what's the point of going 464 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,880 through all of those scriptures is to set a scriptural 465 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,400 foundation for understanding the kinds and areas of deception is 466 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,560 trying to be perpetrated. Another Jesus, another gospel, 467 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,600 another Spirit, not the fullness of who he is, not the fullness 468 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,880 of the Spirit, not the fullness of the good news. 469 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800 That is by faith and by grace stuff you got to add to it and 470 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,880 do to it the denominational. Oh, I'm sorry, I said the wrong 471 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,040 word. I think I did, didn't I? 472 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,040 Whatever my extra rules, I'm putting on it based on the group 473 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,080 I believe with. OK, that's one area of 474 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,000 deception. Then there's the deception of 475 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,120 the love of God that gets you to go cold in your love, walk with 476 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,400 people because now you're not looking. 477 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,560 You're looking for something that's going to entertain you or 478 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,080 something that's going to going to manufacture something inside 479 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,560 of you so you're willing to listen to false things and be 480 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,720 deceived more easily. You're looking for doctrine 481 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,200 that's going to fit what you already believe and what you 482 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,840 already want to do, not what God is saying, what God is telling. 483 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680 These are some areas of deception, OK? 484 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,280 You need to understand it for the psychology, right? 485 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,400 Because if I'm trying to deceive you to do something, I got to 486 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,000 understand what actions I need you to take to enter into the 487 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,240 deception because. And that tells me how I need to 488 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,480 think, how I need to act, how I need to try to set you up, 489 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,040 right? So be so we're going to get more 490 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640 into this, but we have to set up a little bit about the kind of 491 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,800 deception that we're going to see this happening. 492 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,040 Romans 5 says this. I'm going to back up. 493 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,280 If deception can separate you from love, it can also separate 494 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920 you from God because God is love. 495 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,480 So I'm just giving you a capstone statement that talks 496 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,680 about what we read, the love of God, loving men growing cold, 497 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,840 right? Lovers of themselves and not 498 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,880 rather than lovers of God. If deception can separate you 499 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,320 from love, it can separate you from God because God is love. 500 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,600 Romans 57 says this. Let us love one another, for 501 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,800 love is from God, and he who loves his fellow man is begotten 502 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,800 of God and is coming progressively to know and 503 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,120 understand God, to perceive and recognize and get a better and 504 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,400 clearer knowledge of him. You want to know God better? 505 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,960 Love better. You want to know God better? 506 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,000 Forgive more so you can love better. 507 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,880 You want to know God better? Challenge yourself to love those 508 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,040 that don't love you. Challenge yourself to love those 509 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,000 that despitefully use you. Challenge yourself to love you 510 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,240 in the unlovable places of your own soul. 511 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,280 Love the way your nose looks rather than criticize how wide 512 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,560 it is. Love the way your curves work 513 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400 rather than criticize how you don't fit this fashion or that 514 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,000 fashion. Love the fact that God called 515 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,920 you to do something that's not what not not a bro code or a bro 516 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,840 job. A finance job. 517 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,640 I've loved the fact God made you as a gift to do something 518 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:36,460 different. You want to grow in God, grow in 519 00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:37,780 love. When you get to know Him better, 520 00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:40,300 grow in love. He who does not love has not 521 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:44,020 become acquainted with God and does not and never did know Him. 522 00:30:44,180 --> 00:30:47,060 For God is love. So the deception is trying to 523 00:30:47,060 --> 00:30:48,940 separate you from love. Why? 524 00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:51,860 It's separating you from love. I'm separating you from who? 525 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,040 So the temptation to not love is the temptation to separate you 526 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,720 from God. Understand the deception because 527 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,880 then you can understand the mindset. 528 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:10,120 The separate deception separates you from love by separating you 529 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,000 from the Holy Spirit, because your love comes by the Holy 530 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,680 Spirit. Romans 55 says this. 531 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,040 Such hope never disappoints or to lose or shames us for God's 532 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,360 love that's been poured out in our hearts through the Holy 533 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:34,720 Spirit. OK y'all, y'all tracking good, 534 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,360 good, good. Where are we going? 535 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,240 I don't know. I thought he was going there. 536 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,920 Romans 8 says this. For all who are led by the 537 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,400 Spirit of God are sons of God. For the Spirit which we have now 538 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,800 received, it's not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in 539 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,880 bondage to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption. 540 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,880 The Spirit produces sonship in the bliss of which we cry. 541 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,800 ABBA, Father, the deception is to deceive you away from the 542 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,280 work of the Holy Spirit, because it's the Holy Spirit that comes 543 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,480 and puts in your heart the understanding that you are loved 544 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,880 puts in your heart the understanding of God's love. 545 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,320 He brings with him the power to know and receive and walk in 546 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,400 God's love. He brings in him with the power 547 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,840 to know this love. Why? 548 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,040 Because it's only through this love can you really understand 549 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,840 God as your Father. So the deception to deceive you 550 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280 away from love, to deceive you away from God. 551 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,960 And part of the work of doing that is deceive you away from 552 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,440 the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the one that's 553 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,760 going to help you know this love, which means it helps you 554 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,000 walk in God. Amen. 555 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,960 So we see where the deception is coming at our love walk. 556 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,960 It's coming at our understanding of God as a father. 557 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,800 It's coming at our relationship with the Holy Spirit. 558 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Romans 8 says this. The Spirit himself testifies 559 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,600 together with our own Spirit, assuring us that we are children 560 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,840 of God. It's the Holy Spirit that's 561 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,600 going to let you know that you're a child of God. 562 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800 It's the Holy Spirit that's going to help you walk in the 563 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,720 identity of being a son or daughter of God. 564 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,480 And if you walk in as a son or daughter, you automatically are 565 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,040 connected to God's love. So the enemy's coming to deceive 566 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,880 you out of your sonship, coming to deceive you out of your being 567 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,360 a daughter of God. OK, How does he do that? 568 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,760 You ready? I'm just a Sinner saved by 569 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,000 grace. No, I'm a daughter of God. 570 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,320 I was. God never knew me as a Sinner, 571 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,080 He always knew me as a son. He said because I know you as a 572 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,480 son, I'm going to deal with the sin issue so we can walk 573 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,960 together. He never left me and saw me as a 574 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,760 Sinner. He always saw me as a son. 575 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,320 He seen me as a son is what moved him to give His greatest 576 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,760 sacrifice, His only begotten Son. 577 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,199 We are children of God, and if we are his children, then we are 578 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:16,920 heirs, also heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. 579 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,520 Why do I highlight that one? To show you I am a son on the 580 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:26,239 same level as Jesus. Oh, oh, it's blasphemy. 581 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,199 Beware of deception, trying to deny you out of your identity as 582 00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:32,400 a son. I didn't say I replaced Jesus. 583 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:34,400 I didn't say I could do what he's done. 584 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,920 He's the one that chose to make me a son on this level. 585 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,800 His my father chose me to make me a son on this level. 586 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,239 He it was his doing. And if he was his doing, who am 587 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:52,840 I to say different Deception. It's an ears to fit your own 588 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,880 comfort levels to fit your own errors, he said. 589 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,880 Remember we read that right. Here's an error. 590 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,560 I don't deserve that. I don't deserve prodigal son. 591 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,920 I don't deserve to be called go be in my house with my father. 592 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,720 I'll go back and be a servant and be a slave. 593 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,200 I don't deserve that. God, I know I'm a son, but I 594 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,680 know I don't deserve to be a son. 595 00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:22,960 Error. Where's the error? 596 00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:35,080 If I am buying a car and I'll pay $100 million for a 1980 597 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,680 pacer, don't worry about what it is, it's an old car. 598 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:45,440 OK, If I pay just for you, If I pay $100,000 for a 1980 pacer, 599 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,680 OK right. What's the car worth? 600 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,200 Why? So who decided it's worth the 601 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,560 one who purchased it? Not the one who sold it, Not the 602 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,720 critics who sit on the sideline. They're going to tell me you 603 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,200 overpay, you a fool. It ain't worth that. 604 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,720 No, it's worth what I decide it's worth. 605 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:13,560 So if God's decided to make you a son, you a son and you're 606 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,400 worthy worth, you're worthy to be a son. 607 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,600 Stop talking about how you're not worthy. 608 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,200 Stop talking about how you somehow God, I don't deserve it. 609 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,160 Error. It's my son right here. 610 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,320 He don't have to deserve to be in his son. 611 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,760 He just is. If he don't feel he's worthy, he 612 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,960 still is. My son. 613 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,120 He was. It was about positional birth. 614 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,880 He became my son, not by any kind of worth. 615 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,280 He became my son. My loving him is trying to 616 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,280 convey to him the worst from his birth. 617 00:36:53,240 --> 00:37:00,960 Not to create a worth, but he didn't have at birth be watchful 618 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,520 about the deceptions. I'm an air. 619 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,040 I want a son at the same level as Jesus. 620 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,840 God, don't go Jesus big son John little son. 621 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,560 He sees me as the son and of the same ilk, same kind, because he 622 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:27,400 sees me in him Deception. Now I'm not listen, understand, 623 00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:31,720 I'm trying to give you a sense of what the deception it looks 624 00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:35,320 like. So now so then we can develop 625 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,760 the psychology of perception, right? 626 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,160 Because once you understand what it looks like and where it's 627 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,360 trying to take you, now you have a better sense of the mindset 628 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,400 that's required to get you there. 629 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,480 And the mindset that gets into that gets activated, that causes 630 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,920 people to be there and stay there. 631 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:56,360 That make sense. OK, so we're still, so we're 632 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:02,880 still on message here. So psychology is the meeting of 633 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,000 mindsets, psychology of deception. 634 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,360 Psychology is the meeting of mindsets. 635 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,800 It's what mindsets meet. Like dogs in the park when 636 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,600 mindsets meet, how you dog lovers get that. 637 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:23,080 Psychology is also a system that reinforces mindsets through 638 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:29,240 agency, truths, processes, and outcomes. 639 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,520 They want to put truth in code because the truth Erin quotes 640 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,920 because they are perceived to be truths whether they are or not. 641 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,080 OK, so psychology is a meeting of mindsets and it's a system 642 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,760 that continues to connect these mindsets. 643 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,440 That's any kind of psychology, not just psychology of 644 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,560 deception. And in order to reinforce the 645 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,640 mindset, you need agency, you need truth processes and 646 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,680 outcomes. Agency, truth processes and 647 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,520 outcomes. So what does that suggest to 648 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,040 you? Let's let's deal with the word 649 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,760 agency, OK? What does agency mean? 650 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,080 Your ability to you participate in it. 651 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,840 Don't be like it just happened to me, Adam said. 652 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,600 This woman you gave me, she deceived me. 653 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,880 God, no, bro, you had agency. No, you don't want. 654 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,440 You chose that. You didn't. 655 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,200 No, no, no. The woman you gave me got a show 656 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,120 fault. I had nothing to do with it. 657 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,080 No, no, no. Yes, you did, Adam. 658 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,840 You make the choice. That's what agency means. 659 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,920 I participate in it. Psychology requires you to 660 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,880 participate. Truth processes and outcomes. 661 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,320 So what does it suggest to you if I got four things is to 662 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:48,640 suggest to you that deception is a process suggestion. 663 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,240 Deception don't happen in 30 seconds. 664 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,840 Deception is something that starts here and through a long 665 00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,960 course of events will keep you to a place means that there's a 666 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,560 continued giving yourself to a psychology or to deception. 667 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,000 Does that make sense? So you don't pop up as being 668 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,480 deceived one day. You've been on that road a long 669 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,120 time and you've been participating in the deception. 670 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,000 It's not Someone was just deceiving you. 671 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,520 It's like, I don't know what's happening. 672 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,640 I don't know what's happening. Then you wake up, I'm deceived. 673 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,800 No, no, no, no. It's like this. 674 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,640 People say, man, can you lose your can you lose your 675 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:32,360 salvation, Right. No, you can't. 676 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,440 No, it's not a question. No, you can't lose your 677 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,280 salvation. Here's the idea where losing 678 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,640 salvation is. What did I do with my salvation? 679 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,160 Did y'all see my salvation? It was just here. 680 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,160 I don't know what happened to it. 681 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,720 Remember, no agency. I don't know what happened to 682 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,560 it. I woke up. 683 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,400 Where did I put it? Anyone know where I left it? 684 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,960 You can't lose your salvation. You can turn your back on what 685 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,560 God has done. You can reject him for what he's 686 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,720 done. You can say, though, I've owed 687 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:10,440 it, I don't want it. I may be an heir to the throne, 688 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,080 but I renounce the throne because I want to live a common 689 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,160 life. You can do all of that now, but 690 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,760 you can't. Just like, oh man, my goodness, 691 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,240 I, I lost myself. It happened. 692 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:20,400 I didn't even know what happened. 693 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:29,160 Deception is a participative process that occurs over time. 694 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:30,720 Amen. Amen. 695 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,680 If I can get your mindset, I can get everything that flows from 696 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,480 it. Psychology is trying to meet 697 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,560 mindsets. Psychology deception, it's 698 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,600 trying to connect mindsets around deception. 699 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,720 So if I can get your mindset, I get everything that proceeds 700 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,960 from it. If I can get how you think, I 701 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,560 can get everything you think about and everything these poses 702 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,920 think about. If I can get your bloodline, I 703 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,840 can get your life. I can get your eternity. 704 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,520 If I can get your mindset, does that make sense? 705 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,320 Proverbs 23 seven says this. For as a man thinks in his 706 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,960 heart, so is he. It's the scripture foundation 707 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,960 for understanding. If I get your mindset, I get 708 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,600 everything. Proverbs 423 says this. 709 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,120 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that 710 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,600 you guard, for out of it will flow the springs of life. 711 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,120 Life flows from your inmost being. 712 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,680 If I can get your heart, if I can get your mindset, if I can 713 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,840 get your thinking on the inside and corrupt that I don't need to 714 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,480 be around you all the time. The devil ain't around you. 715 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,960 He just got your mindset corrupted. 716 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,440 So now you're walking crooked because you think crooked. 717 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,640 You see crooked, you perceive crooked. 718 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,600 He ain't got to be around If I can get your mindset, got it. 719 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,680 So understand the psychology is about a mindset and the mindsets 720 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,960 are about getting everything related to your life. 721 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:07,200 The deception or the deceiver does not 'cause the deception, 722 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,680 it merely exposes it. So when someone says I was 723 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:17,400 deceived, suggesting that it was all that deceiver's fault, 724 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,400 that's not accurate. The only way deception works is 725 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,600 if I'm already deceived. Deception exposes the fact that 726 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:33,120 I'm already deceived. I come to the party already 727 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,520 drunk, so it's not the drink I have at the party that puts me 728 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,920 over the edge. OK, it's important to recognize 729 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,480 that because then what you understand is you get a 730 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,320 responsibility to see what areas in your life how have you 731 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,360 deceived yourself. An enemy's ability to deceive 732 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,760 you begins with your deceiving yourself first. 733 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,120 Once you give yourself, once you deceive yourself, now you've 734 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:08,720 created a place for other deception to enter in James one 735 00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:13,960 says this verse 13. Let no one say when he is 736 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,640 tempted. I am tempted from God, for God 737 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,040 is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he himself 738 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,640 tempts no one. But every person is tempted when 739 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:32,280 he's drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desires. 740 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,520 Temptation don't happen from the outside, it capitalizes on your 741 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,400 corruption. On the inside, you already got 742 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,120 the evil desire. Temptation exposes it that it 743 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,960 created. You've already meditated on that 744 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,680 desire. You've already thought about 745 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,680 some things. Man, I just, man, I know I'm 746 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,680 saved, you know? But if I wasn't saved, you know, 747 00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:59,520 whatever it is, if I wasn't saved, man, I take that job, 748 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,680 even though I know it's not kind of what God meant if I wasn't 749 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:09,360 saved, but I'm saved though. But you just meditated on a 750 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,880 desire that's apart from what God is trying to get in your 751 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,720 life. You got it. 752 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,320 It begins on the inside. It's already there, say, already 753 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,320 there, and that's where. And that's why deception is so 754 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,920 powerful. It hooks from something that's 755 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,320 already inside. Verse 16 says so do not be 756 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,760 misled, my beloved brethren. The desire on the inside 757 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:38,200 conceives and then gives birth to sin, and then sin brings 758 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,480 forth death, right? Deception doesn't automatically 759 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,280 lead to death, and that's part of the problem. 760 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,000 Because you haven't died, you don't think you're not. 761 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,800 You don't think you're deceived because you haven't paid the 762 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,840 ultimate price, because of God's mercy. 763 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,360 You don't believe you're deceived. 764 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,600 You believe everybody else got it wrong. 765 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,320 And anybody that's holding you accountable telling you that 766 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,240 those that that life that way, that perspective is leading to 767 00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:06,800 death. You don't trust me. 768 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,760 You don't believe me. Why? 769 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,520 I've been living this way 15 years. 770 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,600 I ain't there yet. The mercy of God, you mistake 771 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,800 that and believe that there is no consequence for walking 772 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,000 disconnected with God. So do not be misled. 773 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,200 My beloved brethren, I want to, I want to get into this portion 774 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,160 here just a little bit because I want to tease you to come back. 775 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,840 I want to encourage you to come back. 776 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,240 Deception is not an error, mistake, being tricked, or being 777 00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:42,160 lost. You have to know what deception 778 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,920 is. It's not an error, it's not a 779 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,720 mistake, it's not being tricked or it's not being lost. 780 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,000 OK. An error suggests a factual 781 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,640 incorrectness. I made. 782 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,560 There was an incorrect fact that I had. 783 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,280 That's what an error is, a factual incorrectness. 784 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,760 A mistake suggests a judgement incorrectness. 785 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,880 I had all the facts, but my judgement was off. 786 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,280 OK, I'm going to use athletics. I like football, so I'm a 787 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,640 quarterback and I'm throwing the ball. 788 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,800 An error is I need to throw it to the team who wears the other 789 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:24,520 color. Jersey. 790 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,640 That's a factual no, no, our jerseys. 791 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,520 OK, that's a error. A mistake is I was throwing the 792 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:40,160 ball and I thought I could throw it past that guy and I tried to 793 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,440 throw it. I thought I could get it in 794 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,400 there before he came and got it, but he was faster and I made a 795 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,720 mistake. In my judgement. 796 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,920 It wasn't. I didn't know not to throw it to 797 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,320 the guy in the other color jersey. 798 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,520 It's just that I thought I could get it past him. 799 00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,440 That's what a mistake is. It's judgement, incorrectness. 800 00:48:04,670 --> 00:48:10,150 Being tricked is a temporary mistake in judgement based on 801 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:13,640 partial truths that's connected to the actions of others. 802 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,000 Being tricked is a temporary mistaken judgement. 803 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,880 So you say I was tricked. That's not being deceived. 804 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,240 It's like I looked at some things and I thought the outcome 805 00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:27,320 should work here. Ah, you got me. 806 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,040 Magician is that way. OK? 807 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,720 Hey, you see this in my hand and they have movement over here. 808 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,560 You got it. They're they're distracting you 809 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,920 in some ways, right, But you know that a woman can't be cut 810 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,240 in half and then like body spread apart and come back and 811 00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:49,280 be like, see, it's like I never was cut in half. 812 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,800 We we know that don't happen, right. 813 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,120 But there's something about how it played out that caught me 814 00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,920 that that kind of had a part truth because we didn't make a 815 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,600 mistake in my judgement. That's being tricked. 816 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:09,520 OK, being lost and I'm going to end here. 817 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:14,720 It's a recognition of an extended error or mistake based 818 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:18,200 on partial truths after being confronted with the full truth. 819 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,080 See, being lost is not a function. 820 00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,640 The only way you know you're lost is if you really come to 821 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:30,280 understand what the truth is. If you don't know, if you don't 822 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,160 know that the place you're trying to get to don't exist, 823 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:38,400 you're not lost. It's only when you go, oh, I'm 824 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,920 trying to get there and they don't exist, I'm lost. 825 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,640 Lost is the recognition I've been in an extended error. 826 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,040 I've been driving the last 15 kilometers thinking I was going 827 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,520 the right direction, an extended error or mistake. 828 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,760 But I'm recognizing now the truth right after being 829 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,000 confronted with full revelation. I was supposed to be there 10 830 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,240 minutes ago, but I'm still not there. 831 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,160 Truth and revelation. That's what being lost is. 832 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,720 Deception is not error, mistake, not being tricked or being lost. 833 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:19,400 So what is deception? Deception is what we're going to 834 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:27,200 pick up at the next experience. OK, but what's the purpose of 835 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,520 all of this? The purpose of all of this is to 836 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,920 have you understand that deception is not something that 837 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,360 happens upon you. It's something that you 838 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,040 participate in willingly over the course of time. 839 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,760 And you continue to participate in it because it's serving a 840 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,720 selfish purpose of giving you what you want, the way you want 841 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:51,960 it, without accountability. Allowing you to walk in the way 842 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,560 you want to walk, please, in your own self, not having to 843 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,760 love others or forgive others or be accountable to anybody else. 844 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,360 Perception is the meal you make for yourself. 845 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,160 It's the bed that you make. It's not a bed someone makes for 846 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,280 you, put you in it. Don't happen in a moment on the 847 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,240 instance, it happens that you track with it. 848 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,600 Hey man, come back because it gets better. 849 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,560 Anyone want to get anything out of this today? 850 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,360 Thank you so much for tuning into this week's sermon. 851 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,680 We pray you were challenged, equipped and encouraged. 852 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,880 Make sure to follow us on all platforms. 853 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,920 That's Lovequest Intl church.
