And so I'm in school, right? 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,400 And so I would do math, OK, And the teachers would always, even 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000 have a seat. Teachers always say this, I want 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,920 to check your work. I want to check your work. 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,880 It wasn't enough to have the right answer. 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120 I want to check your work. You got it. 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,840 So I want to check your work. OK, I want to check your work. 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,480 So if you have a everlasting supply of Donuts. 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400 OK, what do you do when an everlasting supply of Donuts? 23 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Do you give something to people? Do you share them? 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,880 Are you concerned about not having them? 25 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,800 Let me ask you this. When you have an everlasting 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,720 supply of Donuts, do you think you try to, like, try to test 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,240 it? I'm going to give 100 million 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,400 Donuts away. I still got more Donuts. 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,600 OK? I'm going to give 200 billion 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,840 Donuts away. I still got more Donuts, right? 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,640 You almost try to test to see if everlasting is really going to 32 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,000 be everlasting, don't you? OK, That's what you try to do. 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,880 So God's the same way. If you got an everlasting God, 34 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,560 then one of the ways you can demonstrate you have everlasting 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,200 God is by being faithful and giving. 36 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,680 You got it? If he had everlasting God, he 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,280 got an everlasting bag. Now I'm going to really flip the 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,240 script on you. God don't have an everlasting 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120 bag. God is an everlasting bag. 40 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,800 You hear what I'm saying? I like that. 41 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,120 He was a little dip on that, right? 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,360 What does that mean for you? That means if God has 43 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,040 everlasting supply, you're giving demonstrates that. 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,360 I believe that I could continue to be generous this week, next 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,360 week, every week. Why? 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,000 Because my God got an everlasting supply. 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,920 OK, matter of fact, my giving demonstrates my faith in that 48 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200 right? By dimming my giving 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,400 demonstrates that I will remain. My consistency in giving 50 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,320 demonstrates what? What's the other part of the 51 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,680 song? I'm doing a song, if you haven't 52 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840 noticed. I will remain confident in this. 53 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,320 How do you remain confident? Remain is a present tense word. 54 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040 I will be confident. I'm confident this week because 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,240 I gave this week. I'm confident next week. 56 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,440 Watch, Watch me give next week because the same God who's 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,800 everlasting from before is everlasting now. 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,080 This is really important to understand because when we say 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,640 we have an everlasting God and we are slow to give generously 60 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,200 into what God is doing, what we're saying is you're an 61 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,160 everlasting God. But I got to make sure I got 62 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,400 mine and I'm retaining mine. There's a verse that says 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,760 there's one who retains all and has little and one who gives 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,360 much and he hasn't and they have much. 65 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Amen. So in that light, I also want to 66 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800 encourage you as we finished up the rest of the year, how many 67 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,600 of you all are tithing? OK, how many of you all are 68 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,480 either tithing or committed to tithing? 69 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240 Amen. Be faithful to that commitment. 70 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,160 Let's finish the year strong in terms of that and let God change 71 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,440 your life because in that consistency and that giving, 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,200 you're declaring the consistency of God's everlasting 73 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,800 faithfulness. You're literally speaking to the 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,959 attribute of God that people can see, right? 75 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,600 And everlasting is you're giving them a tangible way of viewing 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,200 that. And if you haven't committed to 77 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,840 tithing the rest of the year, I challenge you, make a decision, 78 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320 investigate the process. Remember, I like I told you, 79 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,520 like if you have everlasting supply of Donuts, you try to 80 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,080 test it. I'm going to give you 100 81 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,600 billion Donuts and let's see if you run out. 82 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,840 Oh, there's more Donuts there, right? 83 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,560 In the same way God says prove me in this, see if I'm not as 84 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,040 everlasting, see if I don't have your back, see if I don't have 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,520 more than enough to care for you and love you and watch over you 86 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,160 right And watch also whether and see whether you're giving 87 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,160 connects your heart to me more. God doesn't need to do anything 88 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,640 to connect. His heart to you more than he 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,560 already has. He doesn't have to do anything. 90 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,080 It's fully connected in this earth because we have a battle 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,040 of masters of Mammon and of God. He understands one of the ways 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,080 we overcome Mammon or stuff trying to master us is to take 93 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,320 our stuff and put it in God's camp, right. 94 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,840 We hide. We hide the the Mammon in in the 95 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,480 Kingdom so that way the Kingdom can protect us from Mammon 96 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,520 coming after us. Amen. 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 So I encourage you to commit to to tie the rest of the year. 98 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,240 We're also finishing our in their campaign. 99 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,040 Everyone get big hand clap for the Remnant campaign. 100 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 101 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,600 So we finished up the year strong. 102 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240 We encourage you to be generous in the Remnant campaign as well, 103 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,080 right?

Before our Remnant campaign, 109 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,960 we're trying to finish up doing $350,000 for this next phase, if 110 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,480 you will, of our project. Make sure you go next door to 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,600 the building and see the progress. 112 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,640 Make sure you check it out and see that with that what God is 113 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880 doing and you're a part of that. Touch the wood, you're part of 114 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,360 that. Your praise is apart, your 115 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,400 prayers are apart.

Hey, man, and let's finish this 117 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,680 work and finish this strong to be a witness, the sign of 118 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,800 wonder, the people when people ask you, how did you and Wally 119 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,120 finish that project? How did you and Wally do all 120 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920 that kind of stuff? We had given up on Wally. 121 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,120 We didn't think Wally was everlasting, but we got served 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,880 an everlasting God to remember why he made Wally, and he's 123 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520 faithful to the cause of why he made Wally. 124 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,280 He's putting the purpose in here for why he made Wally, so the 125 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,240 people can see that God is a God of Wally and they can look up on 126 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,560 what's happening and do it. Amen. 127 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800 I'll close with this in terms of my remnant compel for you is 128 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,440 this. There'll be some generous ways 129 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,920 to give listed up there. So what is what's Paris known 130 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,560 for? What's New York known for? 131 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400 Architecturalism. See, I did that. 132 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,960 They connected OK. There's a there is a a what, 133 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,600 what? What's Rome known for 134 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,360 architecturally? Coliseum. 135 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,840 There is a way where you can take a building and put 136 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,800 something on people's minds for generations to come. 137 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,600 You can identify a city with a structure so much so that the 138 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,920 structure begins to tell the people who the city is. 139 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,720 That makes sense. That's why it's important to 140 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,640 finish the remnant project. So that way when they get to 141 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,880 Wally, there'll be a picture of love Quest International worship 142 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800 Center up there and say, Oh yeah, that's Wally. 143 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,280 Because that's the picture like Eiffel Tower Paris and and, and 144 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,000 and like that's your liberty is New York and like London Bridge 145 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600 is London. They'll say, oh, love question, 146 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,760 that's Wally. And you notice people come from 147 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,200 all the way around to see those things because they identify 148 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,040 with them in Jesus name, Amen. Generous square giving, 149 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,120 generous, tightly giving, generous E transferring, 150 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,760 generous check, check checking, generous cash giving, Amen. 151 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,800 Do your soul a favor and be generous, Amen. 152 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Amen. So I want to get get right into 153 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,120 this. We got a long day today. 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,160 Long on blessing, long on grace. Not long since. 155 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,240 Arduous, but there's a lot God wants to do. 156 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,720 Right. And what we're doing here in 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440 this message is connecting directly to what we're going to 158 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,320 do in that water later on, OK? Because when people are getting 159 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,520 baptized, what they're saying is I'm not deceived anymore. 160 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,440 That's what they're saying. I once was deceived, but now I'm 161 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,160 not. I once was blind, but now I see 162 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,480 it's connected. OK, There there was a way of 163 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,120 thinking about life I used to live in, but I met Jesus and 164 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Jesus transforming from the inside out. 165 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360 And now I have a new way of seeing, a new way of thinking, a 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280 new way of believing. So the message directly 167 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,440 connected to the activation of the message of the response in 168 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,640 terms of the water. Amen. 169 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,040 Amen. So I want to just jump right in 170 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,400 again. I want to thank our pastors for 171 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,280 the opportunity and the trust to share such weighty material in 172 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480 this time. I'm always. 173 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,560 I was telling my son Adam earlier that, you know, I get 174 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:31,000 nervous doing this. You know, I do because it's 175 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,880 like, OK, Lord, it's not that God won't. 176 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,880 It's that God, I'm trying to do the best I can. 177 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,320 And when A and when a man is responsible for people's souls, 178 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,720 and he taps me on the shoulder and says John I. 179 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,560 Believe in you, but no God got a call on your life and they do 180 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,840 the Kingdom you've got to.

Amen. 187 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,960 So, pastors, thank you so very much. 188 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,480 In terms of what's? Going on, what's doing? 189 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,240 Our pastors are in the process of casting the vision. 190 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,720 For our church. A group of people who said we 191 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,960 want to support what you're doing. 192 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280 There's a group of people back someplace across the border who 193 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,360 said come, we want to support what you're doing. 194 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,880 And so we so Amen. Amen. 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,040 It's something to be worthy. Praise, praise God for. 196 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,040 And let me tell you how powerful your giving has already been. 197 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,760 What he's showing them is a picture of what you've already 198 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,920 done. He's showing that our people 199 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,600 have already been investing. We're not asking you to invest. 200 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,600 We ask you to Co invest. Invest alongside of. 201 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,440 That's what your. Faithfulness has done and not 202 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,960 only that, but I believe more than receiving something from 203 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,120 people, they're being sent to give something to people. 204 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,000 To give hope that you can plant a church when people say you 205 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,920 can't. To give hope that where you can 206 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,320 plant it in the most broken down place people are ascribed to and 207 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,160 God can build and do something glorious. 208 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,720 The hope that if you follow and let the Spirit as a son, God 209 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,560 will bring people alongside of you to encourage you and to lift 210 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,960 up your arms. The hope you ready. 211 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,760 You know the biggest hope y'all had Y'all give people look 212 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,320 around it. Just turn your head and look 213 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,040 around at each other. What you see here, you don't see 214 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,080 no place else. Now what do you see here? 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,640 You don't see any place else the Bible says before the throne of 216 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,360 God in Revelation. There will be every trong, every 217 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,280 tribe, every generation, every age. 218 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,280 You all are the hope of what God's promised in in his word. 219 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,000 You're being here. So when he goes back and shows a 220 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,640 picture of y'all that's part of the church we are, it gives 221 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,640 those folks a hope that the promise God has can be realized. 222 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680 We may have to stretch, we may have to grow, we may have to 223 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,280 love, we may have to be accountable. 224 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:27,040 But God can do it. Father, we thank you for your 225 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,920 favor and your grace upon our pastors that are there. 226 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,080 They speak words of wisdom and words of life. 227 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Your anointing God, demonstrate that you are with them. 228 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Demonstrate by your presence, demonstrate by your grace, 229 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,440 demonstrate by your power and their words by the love in their 230 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,280 eyes. Demonstrate God that you are 231 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,680 with them in that space and give them words to edify the leaders. 232 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,080 Give them words to uplift the people that are there. 233 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,840 Give them words that minister hope. 234 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,280 God, the river is flowing and let life flow from the river and 235 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,600 all the people that gathering around today. 236 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,240 In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. 237 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,840 Amen. Amen. 238 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,960 Amen, Amen. Amen. 239 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,240 Pastors, you know we love you and that's important because I 240 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,800 was using some of my preaching time for that. 241 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,080 Amen. The psychology of deception. 242 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,440 I'm going to. Review a little bit and get back 243 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,960 to the new news, right? It's kind of like TV. 244 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920 We left here at a cliffhanger at 9:30 and you come back to the 245 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,640 next episode. They do a little review what 246 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,480 happened last episode, then get right into it. 247 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,720 Right. So I'm going to review by going 248 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,760 over the topical statements #1 the nature of deception reveals 249 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,080 the psychology of deception. So we talked about the ways 250 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,600 enemies trying to deceive give you another Jesus, another 251 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,680 spirit, another gospel, trying to trying to get you not to love 252 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,640 people because God is love. And when you grow cold in love, 253 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,560 you're going cold in God. When you become distant in love 254 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,520 to becoming distant in God try to deceive you about the Holy 255 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,280 Spirit. Why? 256 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,440 Because the Holy Spirit is the one who comes to live in our 257 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160 hearts to put the love of God in our hearts. 258 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360 So if you would like this with the Holy Spirit, tell it to my 259 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,280 hand. What you're doing is telling 260 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,600 stop. I don't want the love of God in 261 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640 my heart. I don't want you in my heart 262 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,440 depositing the love of God in that way. 263 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,360 And when the Holy Spirit puts the love of God in your heart, 264 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,320 you also bring sonship and adoption in your heart. 265 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,760 It's knowing that you love. Perhaps you better see how God 266 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,440 values you as a child. So the deception is to get you 267 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,240 to deny the love of God so you can deny who you are as a son 268 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,800 and not even know God as a father. 269 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,120 That's all part of the deception. 270 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800 If I know what you're trying to do, then I have a better sense 271 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,360 of your mindset and trying to get me to fall for it. 272 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760 If I see it coming, then I got a sense of the mindset. 273 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,960 I need to avoid it and walk away from it right then. 274 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:50,560 Then we also said if the separate can separate you from 275 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,280 love, it can separate you from God because God is love. 276 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,400 I did summarize that deception separates you from love by 277 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600 separating you from the Holy Spirit, because your love comes 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,520 by the Holy Spirit. Psychology now psychology of 279 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,760 deception. That's my charge. 280 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,320 But psychology is the meeting of mindsets. 281 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,680 It's when 2 mindsets meet together. 282 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,400 You can never have psychology on your own because you're not 283 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,560 autonomous. What does that mean You never 284 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,480 come up with nothing original. OK people were designed to be 285 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,120 dumb terminals. OK what's a dumb terminal? 286 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Anyone know technology here? Computers. 287 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,560 A dumb terminal is a a box that only has no real intelligence. 288 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,160 They really be are just vehicles for what the mainframe is 289 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,960 telling them. I'm not running my own program. 290 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,440 I'm just letting the mainframe communicate to be the program to 291 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,760 run. We were always designed to be 292 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,400 LED. We was always designed to have 293 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,960 someone inside of us living to help lead us and guide us where 294 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160 we need to go. OK, right. 295 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560 With that being said, a psychology then is a meeting of 296 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,240 mindsets. The mindset of what's in you and 297 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,080 the mindset of what someone's coming at you with. 298 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,960 OK, so it's a meeting of mindsets. 299 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,080 Psychology is also a system that reinforces mindsets through 300 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,640 agency, truths, processes, and outcomes. 301 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,520 We we said particularly agency means. 302 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,280 What's the big fancy word for you? 303 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,880 Participate in it. Psychology requires you to 304 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520 participate. You don't come up with stuff on 305 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,480 your own. You have to be involved with 306 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,840 someone giving it to you or someone bringing it to you. 307 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,360 And psychology is a system that reinforces mindsets through 308 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,120 agents of your participation, truths and quotes. 309 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,760 Why? Because it's the truth to you, 310 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,600 whether it's the truth or not, through processes and outcomes. 311 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,360 Now, when you see all of this, what it suggests to you is that 312 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,000 that psychology of any kind in particular takes time to build, 313 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,480 takes time to deepen, takes time for it to really take effect. 314 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,360 So the psychology of deception is when the mindset of the 315 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,360 deceiver and mindset of the deceived come into agreement, 316 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,640 the mindset of the deceiver and the mindset of the deceived come 317 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,640 into agreement. So the person who's deceived is 318 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,200 not a victim. The person who's deceived comes 319 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,359 into agreement with this active agreement or passive agreement. 320 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,119 They come into agreement with Deceiver. 321 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:33,720 OK man, what you doing? That little fat finger thing 322 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240 happened. Fat finger. 323 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,440 My finger did two things at once. 324 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,360 That's what I meant. I heard. 325 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,880 I need to explain that I guess. OK. 326 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,680 And it's, and, and it's reinforced. 327 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,240 So psychology of deception is when the mindset of the deceiver 328 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,840 and the mindset of the deceived come into agreement and it's 329 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,160 reinforced through active participation, truth processes 330 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,080 and outcomes. Just a summarizing of all of 331 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,800 those things. Mindset is key. 332 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,800 Why? Because if I can get your 333 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,320 mindset, I can get everything you got. 334 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,880 I get your bloodline, I get your future, I get your past, I get 335 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,160 your present. I get, I get you everywhere you 336 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,600 go because wherever you go, your mindset goes with you. 337 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,080 If I can get you to hate yourself in 2 minutes, I don't 338 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440 have to stand around hating you because you carry the hate for 339 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,000 yourself wherever you go, OK? So mindset is important. 340 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,680 Your mindset is your life, your bloodline, your eternity. 341 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,600 The deception or the deceiver does not 'cause the deception, 342 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960 it merely explodes, it merely exposes it. 343 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,680 OK, what does that mean? Is deception already in you? 344 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,560 When deception comes, it really exposes the deception that's 345 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,880 already in you. That's important to know because 346 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,840 that again means that you have agency. 347 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,520 You participate in being deceived. 348 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,760 You've already deceived yourself on some levels, and that creates 349 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,320 the space within you to be deceived. 350 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,800 OK, got it. The deception or the deceiver 351 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,600 does not 'cause the deception, it merely exposes it. 352 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,840 It was already there. I want to go to James 113 and it 353 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,760 says this. Let no one say when he is 354 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,640 tempted. I am tempted from God, for God 355 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,360 is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he himself 356 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:23,240 tempts no one. Verse 14 But every person is 357 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,960 tempted when he's drawn away, enticed and baited by his own 358 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,440 evil desires. It's already in you. 359 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,360 You've already meditated on something you've already said. 360 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:36,800 Man, I'd like to get that. Here's an example of evil 361 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,360 desires and action from the scripture. 362 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,880 There was two sons. One son said, I want my money. 363 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,360 I want to go do what I want to do. 364 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,440 OK. Father said, fine, I give you 365 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,840 your money. Give the other son the money. 366 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,880 The one son took the money. He went out and he spit it on 367 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,680 righteous living. I'm not going to say partying 368 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,760 because partying belongs to God. Stop giving partying a bad name. 369 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,760 Let's reclaim that. He went out drinking and 370 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,160 drugging. He went out sleeping and 371 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,840 slumbering. He went out all of that doing 372 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,800 OK. We ran out of all that. 373 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,120 He came back home. Father saw him put a ring, put a 374 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,240 put a robe on him, put shoes on him, had a party and the other 375 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,120 son said this what's going on? You mean this guy went out and 376 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,800 used all of the here and that's how you receive him. 377 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,840 But he's just telling you, it was like man going through the 378 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,240 same thing, but I thought I would lose my inheritance and my 379 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,960 favorite with you, it seemed like they didn't lose it the 380 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,960 whole time. I already, the other son already 381 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000 had the thoughts of the same thing in him. 382 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:38,760 It just had not produced the same way it had produced 383 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600 separation from his father because his father said, don't 384 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,400 you even know me? It may not have produced 385 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,160 separation in terms of certain behaviors, but the same 386 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,880 separation that the one son had in leaving the other son hadn't 387 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,000 stayed because of the mindset that was inside of them. 388 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,640 OK, so deception works. The deceived participates from 389 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,480 something that they're already deceived by. 390 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,080 They've already yielded to deception. 391 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,520 They've already participated in building it on the inside that 392 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,880 deception is not an error, it's not a mistake. 393 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,280 It's not being tricked or being lost. 394 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,960 Well then, what is deception? We're going to get to that. 395 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,640 An error suggests a factual incorrectness. 396 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:24,720 You got a fact wrong. Your intention is right, but 397 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,880 your facts are just off. That's an error, OK. 398 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680 You made the right judgment based on the facts. 399 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,120 It's that the reason the outcome is is inadequate because your 400 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:39,320 fact was wrong. Based on the facts I had, I made 401 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,400 the right judgment. So it's not an issue of error 402 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,840 judgment. It's an issue of error and 403 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,880 facts. That's what the error is, a 404 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,880 factual incorrectness. A mistake suggests judgment, 405 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,600 incorrectness. I got my facts clear, but how I 406 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600 interpreted how they should be applied, I made a mistake. 407 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Here's an example. You look at that street, got to 408 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,920 cross the street. Fact is, that car hit me. 409 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,480 It's going to be a whole lot of hurt. 410 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,840 I see how fast it's going. I know how fast I am. 411 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,480 I think I got this. You got it. 412 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,160 Then you cross the street. Well, in the story that I don't 413 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,520 like to eat, kill people, my examples. 414 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,200 OK, but the idea. But if something were to happen 415 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,880 in that point, it's not a error. It's a mistake. 416 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,280 My judgment was applied improperly. 417 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960 I had all the facts correct. I knew my speed. 418 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,640 I could see the car. I judged that I would be able to 419 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,120 get through when I couldn't. OK, so a mistake is not 420 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,640 deception. Error is not deception. 421 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,480 Being tricked is not deception. Being tricked is the temporary 422 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,640 mistake in judgment based on partial truths that's connected 423 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,680 to the actions of others. You don't really trick yourself. 424 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,440 You need someone else to help trick you. 425 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,680 There's a partial truth they have. 426 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,480 They add it with a little something else and bring it to 427 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,960 the party. And what? 428 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,320 It's a temporary mistake in judgment. 429 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,040 OK, magicians doing something. So where is it? 430 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,120 It's in your hand. No, it's in my pocket. 431 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Oh, I made a mistake in what I thought was happening there. 432 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,080 How I judge things were moving. OK, Partial truth connected. 433 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,520 Amen. But the intention of being 434 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,560 tricked is not to be tricked. It's to be truthful. 435 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,200 That's those what separates those elements. 436 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,960 No one says trick me trick me, trick me please trick. 437 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Me. Trick me. 438 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,440 No one says that. That's the guys in the subway 439 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,560 who lose all their money to the three car money anyway. 440 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,520 Being lost is a recognition of an extended error, mistake based 441 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,040 on partial truths. I mean, in order to be lost, you 442 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,320 have to already know the truth. If someone's driving to Chicago 443 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,000 and they're heading north, but they don't know that Chicago's 444 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,480 not N they're not lost. They think they're right. 445 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,680 It's not that someone tells you, bro. 446 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,760 Chicago the other way. Oh, because of the truth. 447 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:18,760 I see now that I'm lost, OK, And I've been on this extended 448 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,360 journey of this for a long time. Does that make sense? 449 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,240 Lost means I've been on an extended journey, if you will, 450 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,280 of error or mistake, but I've come to recognize it based on a 451 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,600 confrontation with full truth or revelation. 452 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,160 That's what being lost is, being lost, not being deceived. 453 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,240 So what's deception? Welcome to today's episode. 454 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:50,080 Deception is a mindset and practice allegiance to a lie and 455 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:57,360 the partial truth is based on. OK Deception is a mindset and 456 00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,880 practice allegiance. Remember, mindset and system 457 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,800 practice allegiance to a lie and the partial truth. 458 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,880 You're not trying to get the whole truth because the partial 459 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,560 truth serves you and living your life. 460 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,200 I have an allegiance to the lie and the partial truth is based 461 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,880 on got it. It refutes account, refuses 462 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,440 accountability. Full truth of revelation. 463 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,360 Deception is saying I don't want to be corrected. 464 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:31,840 I ain't trying to be corrected. The lie and the partial truth is 465 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:37,960 serving me. Deception responds to truth this 466 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,000 way. I don't think you have it right 467 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,440 because my truth says this deception is like pride. 468 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,520 It can't even, I won't say it can't see. 469 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,560 And put it this way, pride can't see itself in a different way. 470 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:03,560 Pride is more about how I think I how I think I can do stuff. 471 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,240 Attributes deception is we're going to get to this war with 472 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,400 identity. Both of them. 473 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,760 The very nature of them make it difficult for you to discover 474 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,200 them. That's why you need intervention 475 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,520 from God to deal with them. Amen. 476 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,560 Deception is a mindset and practice allegiance to a lie. 477 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,280 Being tricked or loss is based on error or mistake about what 478 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,840 you think God has done. Being tricked is about what God 479 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,560 has done. Being lost is about what God has 480 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:50,120 done. The I want to flip something 481 00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:55,200 real quick, but deception is different. 482 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:03,960 Put that next slide up. Deception. 483 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,920 No, not that one, the one before that. 484 00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:14,260 OK, you didn't get the download on the new one. 485 00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:26,880 Let me Here we go. Again, being tricked to loss is 486 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520 based on error, mistake about what you think God has done. 487 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:40,600 But being deceived is based on a continual allegiance to a lie 488 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:47,480 about who God is. Deception is based on a 489 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,360 continual allegiance to a lie. And the partial truth is based 490 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:57,360 on about who God is. Deception is coming after 491 00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:02,800 identity, not outcome. If I can deceive you about who 492 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,120 God is, I don't have to deceive you about the outcomes that God 493 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:09,520 produces. Deception is coming after 494 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:15,400 identity, not outcomes. OK, the Bible says this. 495 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,520 We're going to talk about this, the story of Adam and Eve in the 496 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,680 garden. Bible says that the woman was 497 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,760 deceived, but the man was not. The woman was deceived, but the 498 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,080 man was not. So in essence, what it says is 499 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:39,880 the woman was deceived, but Adam rebelled, Adam 1 deceived, Adam 500 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:47,640 just rebelled, Adam just and what you going to do about it? 501 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,840 OK. That's why sin injured because 502 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,480 of Adam, not Eve. Death injured because of Adam, 503 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,880 not Eve. Death reigned because of Adam, 504 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,280 not Eve, because the woman was deceived. 505 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:09,040 And being deceived doesn't mean you die, OK? 506 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,760 It does mean you have to get some things corrected in order 507 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:18,280 to live, but it was Adam that wasn't deceived. 508 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,680 Want to go to Genesis 3 verse 3. So we're going to break this 509 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,440 down as Adam and Eve thing. It's not a serpent that was more 510 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,640 subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field 511 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,880 which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, can it 512 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,160 really be that God has said you should not eat from every tree 513 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,760 of the garden? Can it really be that God has 514 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,800 said, now this is really interesting to me. 515 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,240 Who did God give instructions to about what to eat in the garden? 516 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,000 How does how does the Satan, the serpent know that even the 517 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,800 conversation was had? It's the way you think. 518 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:13,080 The serpent was no Marco Polo. That means you're not there yet. 519 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,680 You just like you. Pull up Marco Pulley, who's Come 520 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,040 find me. Come closer. 521 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200 Not just in the garden. It was present at the 522 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:26,920 conversation, right? Present either, at the 523 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,800 conversation, original, at the conversation, repeated. 524 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,080 When Adam repeated it. The serpent was there. 525 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,520 Adam understood the serpent was there. 526 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,880 Adam understood the context of the serpent. 527 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,840 The woman wasn't there yet because he hadn't taken them out 528 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,960 of the sides. She was there, spirit, but she 529 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,560 wasn't there physical yet. Adam was there. 530 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,880 He knew the serpent. He knew. 531 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,960 He knew like man. OK, OK. 532 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Adam had to name all the things, didn't he? 533 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,320 Bible says God passed all the animals and things before Adam 534 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,200 right now. Adam named them this. 535 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,680 He said y'all tigers, male and female. 536 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,680 Y'all goats, male and female, right? 537 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,480 Adam named everything, right? God told him you have control of 538 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,680 all the plants and everything, right? 539 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,600 So presumptively Adam had to knew this alpha tree, OK, right. 540 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,560 So when the serpent shows up, either he goes this what is 541 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,520 this? I ain't named it and God ain't 542 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:37,480 told me what it was or I know who you are, you got it. 543 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,600 So either he knew or he should have known because he hadn't 544 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,040 named it and God, he told him about it. 545 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,600 OK, so in that moment at the serpent deceived and either he 546 00:31:50,600 --> 00:32:00,080 knew what was happening with Eve was like, you know, or he didn't 547 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,640 know and should have known. But he's like. 548 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,760 I think I got this one. I don't need God help with this. 549 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,120 Either way, he's I'm doing my own thing. 550 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,160 OK, so Adam rebelled so that serpent said this can't really 551 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,840 be that God has said you should not eat from every tree of the 552 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,960 garden. Now, now don't be caught up in 553 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,240 it being a snake. Sometimes the word serpent can 554 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,880 mean used to describe the attribute of the entity. 555 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,080 OK, you got it. If I saw somebody that said man, 556 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,400 you a snake didn't really hit the ground, start doing like 557 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,880 this. Stop all y'all delivers people. 558 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,760 Stop. OK. 559 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,800 But what I'm saying is, no, it's an attribute. 560 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,720 And he says, what more subtle, beguiling. 561 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,960 That's a Serpentine attribute. OK, So it may have been the 562 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,160 figure of an Angel that that the Angel body. 563 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,600 I don't know. Don't I don't get caught up 564 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:03,280 whether it was a snake or not. OK, He says, can it really be 565 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,240 the God that said you should not eat from every tree? 566 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,440 The woman said to the serpent, we may eat the fruit of the 567 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,600 trees of the garden, except the fruit of the tree which is in 568 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,000 the middle of the garden. God has said you should not eat 569 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,120 of it, neither shall you touch it lest you die. 570 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,440 She's just giving her understanding of the what's 571 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:24,280 being described, right? OK, Now the Bible also says that 572 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,560 after they ate, she turned and gave to Adam. 573 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,240 Adam is there. The whole conversation. 574 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,920 She just said like, I got to go run and get my husband some Adam 575 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,720 right there. She turned. 576 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,640 Dee Corona, come up here real quick now. 577 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,040 She's not, you know, she she has a petite form. 578 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,440 Come up on the side. She's not easy. 579 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,440 She's not easy. She's not easy. 580 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,720 Dee Corona. Dee Corona. 581 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,240 Dee Corona. This is my ACT. 582 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,920 This is my ACT, OK? This is my ACT. 583 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,960 OK, But she's telling you who she is right now. 584 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,920 She's a fairly petite woman. Look at the length of her arm. 585 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,120 OK, so she got the fruit. Amen. 586 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,040 If she got the fruit and turned and gave it to Adam, he's at 587 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,600 least this close. He's at least. 588 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,639 I'm just trying to show you Adam's proximity. 589 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,120 OK. Anybody push up on my wife as a 590 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,000 husband? I'm like, yo, bro. 591 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,199 OK. All right. 592 00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:26,719 Exactly. Thank you. 593 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,840 Go ahead. Thank you, Deacon. 594 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:31,560 I'm trying to give you the proximity. 595 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,600 He was there. OK, now it says this can it? 596 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,480 This is what the serpent said. Can it really be that God has 597 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,120 said question? You should not eat from every 598 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,040 tree of the garden. What's the phrase You shall not 599 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,520 eat from every tree? Go to Genesis chapter 2, verse 600 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,280 16. You may freely eat of every 601 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,440 tree. One word flipped is part of the 602 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920 deception. Remember a lie based on a 603 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,280 partial truth. The serpent said. 604 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,040 Did he say you shall not eat from every tree? 605 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,000 God said You may freely eat of every tree. 606 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,960 I mean, you got permission to do what you want. 607 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,120 Where'd the shell come in? But you shall not eat of this 608 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,040 one, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and 609 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,320 blessingly calamity. He told them what the 610 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,400 consequence was. You shall not eat, for in the 611 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,120 day of it you should surely die. What he's saying is there is. 612 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,960 I'm not telling you you can't eat from it. 613 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,640 I'm telling you that if you eat of it, you're surely going to 614 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,480 die. Bro, it's up to you. 615 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,440 How do you know that? Because it says May in the first 616 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,000 line. May is permissive. 617 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,480 You can eat from whatever you want. 618 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,720 You can eat from the death tree, the life tree. 619 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,440 It's your choice, right? But I'm telling you, if you eat 620 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,960 from that one, you should surely die. 621 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,200 So I'm telling you you shouldn't eat from that one because you're 622 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,320 going to wind up dying. It's going to do these things, 623 00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,280 but they're going to lead to death. 624 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160 That's what God said. So you see how the deceiver took 625 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,400 a partial truth and put a lie on it? 626 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,760 You shall not eat from every tree when God says you may 627 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,280 freely eat from every tree. This is critical. 628 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,920 God said I'm giving you everything the enemy posted as 629 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,520 He's keeping it from you. You shall not versus you may 630 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,800 freely. How do you see the direction of 631 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,080 God? You shall not, or you may freely 632 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,840 God, you shall not fornicate outside your marriage or even 633 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,600 even marriage. Before marriage you should not 634 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,960 have a you have adultery. You keeping all the pleasure 635 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,240 from me or are you? Keeping something for me. 636 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,440 How do you perceive the command and direction of what God is 637 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,240 saying? Ready. 638 00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:48,960 Deception goes to identity. If I believe you keeping from 639 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,560 me, then I believe you're not for me. 640 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,480 And if you're not for me, you don't love me. 641 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,400 I can't trust you, and therefore I got to make up my own way. 642 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,560 I'll live that way because I believe you can't trust me. 643 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,000 I can't trust you, and I believe you don't love me, OK? 644 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,200 And getting the corrupt God's love for you is more important 645 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,000 than what God does for you. If a loving father does 646 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,760 something corrupt for their child, the child can say that 647 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,040 action was corrupt. He gave me vanilla ice cream 648 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,040 when I like chocolate. But I know my father loves me 649 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,200 and I know he knows what my favorite flavor is because I 650 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,800 know he loves me. I know he loves me and act that 651 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,800 I may think is corrupt, get swept to the side and properly 652 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,480 contact it because I know he loves me. 653 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,840 But if I get corrupted in that, he don't love you. 654 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,120 Yeah. And that's why you gave me 655 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,560 vanilla, because you don't love me. 656 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,960 And that's why you're not for me, because you don't love me. 657 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:45,160 Now, if I can corrupt the love, it corrupts everything that 658 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,200 flows from the love without you having to go and deal with every 659 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,640 individual instance. It caused you to question the 660 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,840 doubts when he walks through the door and says I got something 661 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,800 for you. I know you don't love me, so 662 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:02,000 must be a curse is coming right? So the Eden is trying to corrupt 663 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,760 that love of God in terms of that and it says this Genesis 3, 664 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,400 but the serpent said to the woman you should not surely die 665 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,320 for God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be 666 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,320 open. He already told him that he's 667 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,440 not giving the information, but you see because it's postured 668 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,960 after a question. He suggests. 669 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,000 I know stuff that you don't see. God ain't trying to tell you 670 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,440 this. I'm letting you know what's 671 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,680 going to happen. God's keeping information from 672 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,680 you. You got it. 673 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,320 So again, Eve wouldn't have been around for the direction. 674 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,480 So the question is, did Adam tell Eve? 675 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,800 Adam must've she? Eve must have known, found out 676 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,800 about somehow, because she wasn't physically there at the 677 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,200 time, right? So you must have said something 678 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,200 to her. Did He say it right? 679 00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,440 She said right, that they repeat the prophetic word without 680 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,960 adding any color to it. So they got it straight. 681 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,520 Did they begin to add color to it when they heard it the first 682 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,640 time? If you know, you know, and you 683 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,800 will be like God. Here's part of the deception. 684 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,320 He says if you do that, you will be like God. 685 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,280 Now remember when God talked about not eating, eating that 686 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,960 fruit? He didn't say you're going to be 687 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520 like me. He didn't add that part to it. 688 00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:22,240 Everything else the enemy put here, God told her already and 689 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,840 you're going to be like God, right? 690 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,320 Genesis 326 God said let us Father, Son and Holy Spirit make 691 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,240 mankind in our image after our likeness. 692 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,240 So God created man in his own image, in the image and likeness 693 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:40,480 of God. He created him. 694 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,760 Well, he was still inside of Adam. 695 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,200 Come on now. Male and female, He created 696 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,920 them. Though she was not physically 697 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,000 apart from him at that. In the reference to that time he 698 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,920 already had told her. You and my image and likeness as 699 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,960 well. The enemy trying to convince Eve 700 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,000 of something she already got. She don't. 701 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,040 God trying to withhold identity from you. 702 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,240 He's trying to deny you who you are. 703 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,560 He don't want you to really understand who he is. 704 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,080 He's trying to keep stuff from you. 705 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:12,200 You can't trust him. Who told you you'd be like God 706 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,400 now? You got it. 707 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,320 And then based on those deceptions and tricks and those 708 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,680 kind of things, Genesis 3C36 says this. 709 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,520 And when the women thought that the tree was good for food and 710 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,640 it was delightful to look at, she knew that already. 711 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,920 God already told them you may eat of it, which means this or 712 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,360 eat the food tree. She knew it. 713 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,120 You know God don't do JT's work, right? 714 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,960 She knew the tree looked good. That's why I got to be aware of 715 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,240 deception because it just Jezebel got dressed in the 716 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:51,600 finest for a reason because Jehu knew God don't make some janky 717 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:59,360 stuff a tree to be desired in order to make one wise. 718 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,000 Where did that come from? You can be like God. 719 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,960 You see how the deception is now? 720 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,280 There's wisdom I don't have, the stuff I don't have. 721 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,120 God didn't give me everything to be like him. 722 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,480 There's a wisdom I need that He didn't give me. 723 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,480 So now she's adding something to it. 724 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,880 Partial truth lie based on partial truth and she took of 725 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,840 his fruit and ate and she gave some also to her husband and he 726 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,680 ate. That's called allegiance. 727 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,040 Now I'm going to do it, but I'm going to try to get everyone 728 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:37,200 else I know to do the same. She don't turn to say Adam man, 729 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,360 is that true what he said because she said I got this. 730 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,680 I don't need your invention, Adam, I got this. 731 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,400 I'm going to do my own thing, separation from God, that God 732 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,960 loves you. All those kind of things come 733 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,840 into play. Trick or lost, people are 734 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,440 willing to change, deceive people or not. 735 00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:02,040 It's called the love, humility and accountability factor. 736 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,000 What keeps you from being deceived? 737 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,480 Love, humility and accountability. 738 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,560 So the psychology of deception is to keep you from a place of 739 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,600 having love, humility, accountability. 740 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,600 The psychology of deception says you can do it on your own, man. 741 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,920 Are you good as anybody else? Who was you? 742 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,480 I know they, the pastor, you can preach. 743 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,920 Good as them, where they come from. 744 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,280 How do you know what makes them so much better than you? 745 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,080 You got the Holy Ghost too. You got everything too. 746 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,800 You don't need nobody else, man. They don't even understand what 747 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,960 your gifts are. You got it. 748 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,040 Trying to separate you from accountability and humility. 749 00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,600 That's the first thing. I'm going to do that before I 750 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,040 drop a deception on you. So I give you the deception. 751 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,840 It's like giving you the stink bomb before I had your nose to 752 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,000 climatize the bad smells. If I'm going to drop a stink 753 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,640 bomb in your life, I'll walk you past garbage yards and junk 754 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:56,240 yards for a while first, OK? I take you to eat blue cheese. 755 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,240 They got that little smell to it. 756 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,360 I take you to eat black mushroom fungus. 757 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,000 Shout out to my family because they got that little smell to 758 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,680 it. Salty fish because they got a 759 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,200 smell to it. Now you're used to kind of 760 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,240 pungent smells. When I drop a stink garbage bomb 761 00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:14,320 in your life, you receive it better. 762 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,800 OK. I don't lead with the deception. 763 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,320 I lead with the changing of your willingness, the accountability. 764 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,120 I start to make you look less accountable first. 765 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,120 Then I'm going to drop deception in on you, right? 766 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,600 And you don't want the accountability. 767 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,680 It feels good to not have that accountability, to be free. 768 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,720 So you participate in it. That's why the deception takes. 769 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,600 Man, you know, there's a freedom in the word. 770 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,480 You know, why would this is free, don't you? 771 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,520 Yeah. The question what he's saying is 772 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,760 because you know you're not as free as you want to be here. 773 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,760 You're right, man, you're right. You see me, you see me. 774 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,360 I'm glad someone sees me. Deception. 775 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,320 So the deceiver, there's steps, Deceivers and the deceiver have 776 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,400 deceiver. Step one, deceiver. 777 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,200 Step one is to meet you where you are, to come to you. 778 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,640 The serpent came to Eve. You will never willingly go 779 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,840 someplace to get deceived. Deception got to come to your 780 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,000 door. Which means what? 781 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,120 You leave doors open, You leave windows open, You leave 782 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,080 invitations open, You let people stay too long. 783 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,520 Deception always comes to you. And if it's coming to you, it's 784 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,400 going to come. How? 785 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,760 Not as a stranger, because a stranger, you know, to be aware 786 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,200 of it comes with it comes to do something for you that you want 787 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,640 to have done. It comes in a place of utility 788 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,960 or or mammon of some sort. Why do you get in a Uber? 789 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,120 Because it's giving you a ride, not because it's a stranger 790 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,960 picking you up. It does. 791 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:48,160 It's doing something for me. OK, so so when it comes, that's 792 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,680 how that's how it comes. Step one. 793 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,200 Meet you where you are. Come to you. 794 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,240 How does that? How does that play out? 795 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,560 I'm your friend. I understand you folk at this 796 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:57,920 other trip, they don't understand you. 797 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,120 I get you. You know, I feel sometimes that 798 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,680 I feel agitated. What are you? 799 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,120 I feel agitated like you. I'm coming to you, OK? 800 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,400 Step one. Step 2. 801 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,680 Deceiver is to separate you from others. 802 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:12,640 While we go, have coffee, just you and me. 803 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,680 While we go out, just you and me. 804 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:22,280 OK, well, why don't we go ask the person who just knew in 805 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,480 church to go with us, not the elder who'd been here a long 806 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,680 time. They can tell us the truth. 807 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,160 Now you're with someone else, but you're effectively just you 808 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:36,240 and me. OK, separate you from others. 809 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,440 If the serpent is here, it's Bible says that Eve turned and 810 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,320 gave to her husband. So there's a there's a 811 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,040 suggestion that she's this way. Does that make sense? 812 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,920 OK, because he turned and gave the enemy speaking this way, 813 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,640 separating contact and intimacy with her husband. 814 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,320 I just want to talk to you on this side over here. 815 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:00,800 Can you come talk to me over here real quick? 816 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,080 You know, some people talk to you when you're like, your 817 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,240 spouse ain't around all the time. 818 00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,600 You know, some people wait until accountability. 819 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,800 People ain't around to come talk to you, separate you from 820 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:12,440 others. Deceiver. 821 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,640 Step 3. The deceiver must show 822 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,240 themselves to be trustworthy from another context. 823 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,040 My first thing in deception is to show you I'm trustworthy, not 824 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,920 to deceive you. How did the serpent do that in 825 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,800 the Adam and Eve story? Has God said so? 826 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,560 What does that tell her? Oh, you know who? 827 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,920 God. Is so God ain't a stranger to 828 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,960 you? So if you know who God is and I 829 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,400 know who God is, I guess I can trust you because you say God 830 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,560 trust them who God is. You know, because God said I 831 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,280 know God talk. I know God made all the trees 832 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,120 trust me. I, I, I met on the end with you. 833 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,160 You trust me. So they try to get trust to 834 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,760 themselves from another context. That's why you got to be aware 835 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,200 of familiar spirits. You come to a church and someone 836 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,680 trying to say, Hey, you like snowboarding like I do. 837 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,440 I pick snowboard because that's my son, not here to see, but 838 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,040 it's safe. I don't want to get anyone upset 839 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,160 and leave the church on my example. 840 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,320 So I said, baby, you like snowboarding. 841 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, man, I know a lot 842 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,280 about snowboarding. You know the truth about 843 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,280 snowboarding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 844 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,880 You know, the pastors, they're trying to control you. 845 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,720 Well, you've been truthful about snowboarding. 846 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,640 I guess you're telling me the truth about this too, because I 847 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,520 know you'd be trustworthy in a different context. 848 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,240 And the familiar context, whether it's the church hurt 849 00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:37,160 context, step #4 present truth in part. 850 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,400 The sea was lead with truth, man. 851 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,160 You know you're born to be great. 852 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,480 Yeah, because that's the truth. God made you to be great. 853 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,000 Man, that's psycho Babble. That's that kind of thing. 854 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,320 Go to the Bible, get Jesus. The Father says I shall make 855 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,000 your name great. I shall make you famous. 856 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,760 It was God's idea to put you, to make you go viral, not the 857 00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,600 devil's idea anyway. Present truth in part. 858 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,840 What does that mean? Withholding information, 859 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,600 creating false. This is psychology and 860 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,560 deceiving, right? These steps are like, how am I 861 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,520 trying to get your mindset ready to be impregnated with deception 862 00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:16,560 so that way it corrupts your thinking so you carry it with 863 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,640 you, perpetuating it as you go. Where does the allegiance to the 864 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,760 lie come from? Not from the data of deception 865 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,280 from the person who gave it to you. 866 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,680 This is my friend, this is my friend. 867 00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:31,280 My allegiance to the lie comes to my allegiance to the person. 868 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,840 This is my friend. They know me, they get me. 869 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,560 They brought me here. When no one else answers my 870 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,240 call, they do allegiance to the person. 871 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:45,080 So you withhold information, you create a false impression in 872 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,640 what the what the serpent said. All of the data in there was the 873 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,800 data that was in what God said. But they tweaked this and 874 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,960 tweaked that to give a false impression about who God was and 875 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,680 what His intent was. You ready for this? 876 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,160 I'm not saying they trying to control people. 877 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,880 That's not what I'm saying, but that did tell you exactly what 878 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,880 they're saying. Misleading, create a fault. 879 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,160 I'm not trying to say they're trying to control people, but 880 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,680 you know, I mean, they do things that's different. 881 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,280 You know, some people might call it control. 882 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,080 I don't. But I'm trying to create a false 883 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:22,200 impression with you right now by dropping control five times and 884 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:29,560 truth just once, misrepresenting the past, present or the future. 885 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,720 Talked about this at the earlier message. 886 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,480 You are not a Sinner saved by grace. 887 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,000 You're born again, you're new, you're a son or your daughter. 888 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,200 You've always been a son or a daughter in God's eyes. 889 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,560 That's why he gave a son for a son, gave a son for a daughter. 890 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,520 If he always saw you, was a Sinner saved by grace you to put 891 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,280 you in the trash where sin belongs. 892 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,160 He made you this image and his likeness. 893 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,440 You always bore his identity. He got if you and God's image 894 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,160 and likeness, and you say I'm a Sinner, then you say God's image 895 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:03,520 is a Sinner because he's made in it. 896 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,560 That's that's not right. Deception, partial lie, but 897 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,720 truth. Why do you have such allegiance 898 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,120 to believe in? That. 899 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,480 You're not a Sinner saved by grace. 900 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,440 Because I believe me when I tell me I'm unworthy. 901 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,800 I got allegiance to my own doubts, my doubt talk. 902 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,080 Because when I was a kid growing up, my mom told me I was a 903 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:31,720 Sinner saved by grace. I got allegiance. 904 00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:35,000 To my mom and to throw that out and to throw my mom out, Oh my 905 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,800 dad out. The allegiance to it. 906 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,440 So misrepresenting the past, present of the future through 907 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,120 the use of a question to question your identity, God's 908 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,120 identity, God's love or God's goodness. 909 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,880 Have God really said you shall not this God man. 910 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,320 You think you think God can really love someone who's done 911 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,360 something that's really horrible? 912 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,960 The question question bomb. Make people earn the right to 913 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:09,640 put questions in your presence. Deceive step one, that's 914 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,680 deceiver steps. Now we're on the deceive steps. 915 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,400 Now these have already occurred before the deceiver shows up 916 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:18,880 because if deceiver ain't looking for a fight, they're 917 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,200 looking for a mark, they're looking for a target. 918 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,640 I ain't looking to have to wrestle through this thing 919 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,400 because why? Because once we start wrestling, 920 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,920 you may wrestle your way to the truth. 921 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:29,960 So I don't want to wrestle with you. 922 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,680 I want to know you're going to take it when I get it. 923 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:36,960 So I want to see you already deceived. 924 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,800 How you know you already deceived by how you talk about 925 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,480 yourself. You know, I'm just going to say 926 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,360 about grace. I think we got one deceived, 927 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,680 bro. Yeah, I've been saved since 928 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:53,760 Also, I'm just going to say about I think we got one to 929 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,680 casually know what God has said or to deceive yourself. 930 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:02,160 Step one for the deceived to casually know James one do not 931 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,880 merely listen to the to the word and so deceive yourselves. 932 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,800 Do what it says you deceive yourself when you just listen to 933 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,360 the word and don't do it. That opens the door for you to 934 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,800 be deceived. The casual listen to the word 935 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,960 Eve's recitation of what God said was a casual response, a 936 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,320 casual listening. It wasn't accurate. 937 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,240 She didn't check it. She didn't go back to Adam O to 938 00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,280 God as a source. She said, I think I kind of 939 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,240 understand what it says for myself and I I casual 940 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:31,360 relationship with the word. It is the first place because 941 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,520 you deceive yourself to thinking you know something that you 942 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:38,200 don't. I'm going to tell you this. 943 00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:42,840 You may meet this woman, Elder Roseanne, but I know this woman. 944 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,800 You see the difference? Some of you may casually met her 945 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,200 or Noah casually from Instagram. That'll mean you know her like I 946 00:52:52,200 --> 00:53:00,440 know her. Casually with the word Step 2. 947 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,520 For the deceived, you prioritize results over identity first. 948 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,360 John 2 talks about the flesh, the lust of the flesh, the lust 949 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:13,360 of the eyes, the pride of life, assurance in one's own resources 950 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,720 or in the stability of earthly things. 951 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:22,760 That's mammon all day. OK, folks are outcome rather 952 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,160 than identity. That's how you get deceived. 953 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,120 If I listen, I know my wife loves me and I know her. 954 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,080 Come up and tell me something. Come up and tell me. 955 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,560 Yeah, I heard your wife saying, man, you no good, brother. 956 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,800 Come on now. Because I know her. 957 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,640 Now she may say I'm no good at doing dishes. 958 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,520 I might argue with that, but that might be true. 959 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,040 But to say it. But to say that I'm no good. 960 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,680 I know her. I know I should talk how she say 961 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,400 it. She said that you are really no 962 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,560 good. Shouldn't talk like that if you 963 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,080 know I shouldn't use that sentence structure when I know 964 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,280 her. It's hard for you to trick me 965 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,520 about what's being said. When I focus on outcomes, when I 966 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,200 focus on what I can get, I can be tricked and deceived by an 967 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,640 outcome from someone that doesn't have their intent and 968 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,760 heart. My best my have me in the best 969 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,800 intent. Jesus says this John 17, that 970 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,160 all of them may be one father, just as you are one in me and I 971 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:31,200 am in you, that they may be one as we are one identity. 972 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,800 Jesus about identity. You don't put accomplishment and 973 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,560 stuff over identity when you elevate identity. 974 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,760 It's more important for me to be a son than for me to be wealthy 975 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,720 keeps from being deceived. It's more important for me to 976 00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:47,240 have a good father, son relationship that keeps me going 977 00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:50,240 to the Father and keep the Father in my life to help me and 978 00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:55,640 guide me and lead me. I perceive Step 3 is to believe 979 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,280 you know better and you got it. Now I know better. 980 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,240 I got this already. We already talked about that 981 00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:04,440 with Adam, but I want to give you an Eve. 982 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:09,680 Galatians 3 says this. Basically, who's this who's 983 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,400 who's deceived you, bewitched you. 984 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,040 How is it you begun your new life in the Spirit and now we're 985 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,760 trying to reach perfection by the flesh. 986 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,800 That's the God I got us from here. 987 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,640 You save me by grace, but I'm going to get it finished in my 988 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,840 works. You save my grace, but I'm going 989 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,480 to prosper by grind. You save me my grace, but I'm 990 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,000 going to make sure my salvation is secure by serving. 991 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,080 Who's tricked you into thinking it starts by grace but finished 992 00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:38,360 with works? Who's tricked you in terms of 993 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,040 that? Four, Take success out of 994 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:42,960 context and have too little gratitude. 995 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,600 Deuteronomy 8 says this. And beware lest you say in your 996 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,160 mind, my power in the might of my hand have gotten me this. 997 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,400 Well, God's brought people into place of provision. 998 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,120 Be watchful of you taking credit for what I've done. 999 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,920 Be watchful of you not being grateful, watchful of the 1000 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,320 success time. If I can get you off on success, 1001 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,760 I can get you off in in in downtime. 1002 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,600 If I can get you taking more of the credit than you deserve, 1003 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,880 then when they don't come, then you'll take more of the blame 1004 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,240 than you deserve the credit. Times where I get you, not the 1005 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,760 not the downtime, it's the credit time. 1006 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,400 We're not seeing it coming. I gas you up and get your 1007 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,280 thinking off and your understanding off. 1008 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,200 Not like now that you've got to leakage to my error because of 1009 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,960 my relationship when the downtime comes and I tell you, 1010 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,400 man, you're just no good with that. 1011 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:34,600 I guess you're right. Deceive. 1012 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,360 Step 5 is to shun accountability. 1013 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,680 Deuteronomy 8 says not Deuteronomy. 1014 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,680 This is this is Ephesians. Before I believe. 1015 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,800 And his gifts were varied. He himself appointed, gave men 1016 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,080 something to be apostles and prophets and evangelists and and 1017 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,000 pastors and teachers. He gave these people for 1018 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,760 accountability. Why do you give these people? 1019 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,080 How do you know all of these offices are still in operation? 1020 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,600 That's a bigger conversation. Go get Pastor Terrence Book 1021 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,560 crowned. He goes through it very well. 1022 00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:07,040 Maybe you can get him at the back of the day. 1023 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,480 You can at least order it. It's well worth your read and 1024 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,480 your time. OK, but he did these for the day 1025 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,120 because they're bringing accountability to the body. 1026 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,360 What does accountability produce, ultimately, Verse 14, 1027 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,720 so that you may no longer be children, tossed to and fro 1028 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,800 between chance gust of teaching and wavering with every changing 1029 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,400 wind of doctrine That sounds like so. 1030 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,280 You won't be deceived when the wind is blowing. 1031 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,920 I put these people as accountability for you, to teach 1032 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,680 you, to train you, to help you so you can grow to a place of 1033 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,120 maturity, so you don't be deceived. 1034 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,440 Their goal is not to teach you how to do. 1035 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,040 Their goal is to teach you who you are in God, who you are in 1036 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,720 identity, because if you have your identity, you won't be 1037 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:53,840 deceived. I can. 1038 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,320 Everyone in this room could come into this woman and tell her you 1039 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:58,800 are not Roseanne. You. 1040 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,360 Ruby was not your mother. You can't. 1041 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,600 I know who I am. It's too late. 1042 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,560 I can come to her and tell her. You are not Roseanne John. 1043 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,960 You're my husband. I love you, but I know who I am. 1044 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:15,280 Even my closest Allegiant partner can't deceive me because 1045 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,760 I know who I am. Ready. 1046 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:23,160 I know who I was born of. I know who my father is. 1047 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,760 Accountability has come to help strengthen you in this, and I 1048 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,880 want to close with this. Don't think deception is just 1049 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,080 for fools. Fools can be deceived. 1050 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,600 But the Bible says beware the simple too. 1051 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,080 What's the simple? I don't know, I just I'm just 1052 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,040 not trying to know anything. I'm just trying to be basic and 1053 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,160 simple and I don't want a complicated life and I just 1054 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,560 want. The simple can be deceived and 1055 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,680 devoured as much as the fool can. 1056 00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,000 And the simple is worse because it's simple. 1057 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,200 They they've been around the block enough to know gain, so 1058 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,520 they really believe it. They really, really believe it's 1059 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,160 the truth. The fool go, I'm a fool, so I 1060 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,440 know. Let me check the game out and 1061 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,080 see if it's really good. Oh, it had to be a good 1062 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,480 deception to get me. The simple can be deceived by 1063 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:22,160 small ones, not trick deceived. Deceived into living a life with 1064 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,840 allegiance to a lie based on a partial truth that cause you to 1065 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,480 doubt the identity of God. How does God deceive? 1066 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,240 We're going to pray. He closes with prayer. 1067 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,640 'Cause God to see he causes a relative to molest you and then 1068 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:39,920 say where's? God. 1069 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,200 He don't love you. Where is it causes a parent to 1070 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:50,720 die before their time. God left you abandoned. 1071 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,000 You know, he could do something about it. 1072 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,240 Where's it in the Bible? Lazarus sisters? 1073 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,720 The one who you loved, you see? If you really loved him, you'd 1074 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,520 come right now, and if you don't, clearly you don't love 1075 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,520 him then I guess. And what you, who you've? 1076 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:13,560 Been to us is a lie, and that's your fault. 1077 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:20,440 Then you deceive her. In this moment, we're going to 1078 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,000 pray for all the ways that wounds and brokenness. 1079 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,360 The enemies use that to cause us to have allegiance to a partial 1080 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:34,200 truth and a lie. The truth is, yeah, my daddy 1081 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:39,680 should have molested me. The lie is that God didn't care. 1082 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:49,000 I want to speak to this very quick without being too callous. 1083 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:56,760 Why would God let that happen? Because God knows who you are, 1084 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,440 He knows who He is, and He knows the redemptive power of His 1085 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,280 identity in your life.

Let's come through brokenness 1101 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,200 and behavior. We're not so bad that you don't 1102 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:07,800 want to be a daddy to us anymore. 1103 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,640 We're not so broken that we can't be loved. 1104 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,360 We're not so messed up or delayed that we can't walk in 1105 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:22,920 who you've called us to be. We haven't been so slow. 1106 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:27,120 I've been so just deceived and so on our own that when we come 1107 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,000 through the door. You turn your nose. 1108 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,560 Off at us and just like. Maybe I wish they weren't here. 1109 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,720 We thank you, God. We break those deceptions that 1110 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:44,280 have come in by hurt, come in by brought misplaced influence and 1111 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,040 misplaced allegiance to people. Follow me. 1112 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,480 Break the power of every deception that causes us to 1113 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,760 doubt your love for us, who you are and who we are in you. 1114 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,160 We break the power of every deception that causes the doubt, 1115 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,840 the life, work and ministry of the Holy Spirit who's come to 1116 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,520 minister their love to us and to bring us into relationship with 1117 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:13,080 You as a follower. We thank you Lord, that all of 1118 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,680 those are broken. Father, we repent of how we've 1119 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:20,360 given ourselves to those lies, how we've continued to choose 1120 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,080 the lie and maintain allegiance to it even when truth was 1121 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,680 presented. Jesus, we know that You came to 1122 01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,080 walk the earth in physical form with people where they could 1123 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,680 talk to you and and touch you. She would feel you. 1124 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,360 And people still chose to have allegiance to a lie, even though 1125 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:43,520 love Incarnate was present because the lie gave them power. 1126 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,360 The lie gave them position. The lie gave them control over 1127 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:52,840 their life, so to speak. So Father, we thank you that we 1128 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,280 repent. If that's you, just nod your 1129 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,520 head. Just we repent for every way 1130 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,440 we've agreed with deception that everywhere we've deceived 1131 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:05,120 ourselves and participated in being deceived because it was 1132 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,680 working something for us that we thought you didn't care about 1133 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:13,880 and couldn't provide is working something for us that prevented 1134 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,920 us from having to trust you and be vulnerable to you and give 1135 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:23,440 our lives and yield to you.
