Thanks for checking out the anger Faith Message podcast from
st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. You know what this month is
June. That's what this month is, Tata,
my message today is pride. All right, let's turn over to
1st Timothy chapter 4. First Timothy chapter 4.
There are deception. There's a deception about the
kingdom. We live in a kingdom.
The Bible's about a king is King bottles about a king his kingdom
and his role Offspring. All right and so I want us to
move into some things because how many believe Jesus is going
to return. How many believe like
everything's an alignment for him to come.
I mean everything's on the planet today.
Everything. But there's still a word to do
and one work to do at this Gospel of the Kingdom, not
another Gospel of Jesus, but the gospel of the kingdom is to
preached in every nation as a testimony.
And the end will come and I can mark off a few Nations because
I've been there, preaching, the kingdom myself, okay, I know I'm
not the only one. I'm just saying the ones I know
I've been to, I say, Lord, you can take Nicaragua off.
You can come back, you take the United States off, you can come
back, you take polling off, you can come back.
These are these are done. This has happened in my
generation. Are you hearing me?
And things are are are are in the earth today so that God can
take up his church and the tribulation of God can manifest,
amen. So that God one more time extend
Mercy to humanity. I said, one more time.
Even in the tribulation, he will extend Mercy but in 1st Timothy
Chapter 4 verses 12 to a Maria, the passion translation.
It says this the Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed at the end
of this age. Say this age, say this age, many
But that makes you sad, not glad right here that word right
there. Many will depart from the true
Faith. One after another, Many.
Will depart, which tells us they used to partake, they or wants
apart. They were once worshipped in on
this stripe, just like you. They were once running around
the building just like you. They were once sitting in
classes just like you. they were once in a prayer meeting like
you, they were once teaching a class like you they were once in
pulpits. Are you hear me?
And how many will depart? How many now we as the church,
we're looking for the Great Harvest.
But there's a equal. Great thing that will take place
in the end and that is a great departure.
I almost liken it to The Exodus. I almost stopped liking it to
The Exodus. The Lord sends Moses in to Egypt
to deliver his people, right? They have been victims for four
hundred and thirty-two years. It was them and it was through
that nation that Egypt prospered, like it did because
of a guy named Joseph. Right?
So much wealth manifested in that Nation because of Joseph,
but I Pharaoh rose up. It did not know Joseph and
suppress the nation of Israel. And as a result of that, God,
after a period of time, and he told this to Abraham, the man he
was in Covenant with that, I'm going to send somebody and
deliver them away from that Nation.
So he goes in with miracles, signs and wonders.
I said Miracle signs. They were in a Revival.
They were in a move of God That Shook an entire nation.
They saw the exploits of God in physical manifestation
performing the word. He sent through a man, let my
people go. Amen.
And so Moses delivers them, brings them through the Red, Sea
over to the other side Into the Wilderness and they wash their
enemy die. Well, how great was that work?
I mean he wants duh, the Israelites to know you'll never
have to not rest in your sleeping and be concerned when
you're over here that he's coming across to get you.
They washed him. Die.
Why are we so concerned about the devil still?
Christ has full principalities and Powers.
He has stripped him of all this power, but we had like that he
can come run us down So here they are seeing their enemy die,
they know, the ruler can't want nor give commands for them to
come after them yet three days in they crying.
They just went through a holy ghost Revival That Shook a
nation set them. Free broke all their change.
I mean, if we sing another song about chain breaking, Because
everybody wants to change break only to put chains on
themselves. They'll never break a chain off
their mind. So crazy breaking the chains.
They were changed, they were a chain breaking generation but
yet Never renew their mind. So the Lord is like, Moses.
These people are stubborn and stiff-necked, their rebellious.
This is who I went and got So this is what I'm going to do.
I'm going to wipe them out and start with you, I'll just
eliminate now. Who's the eliminating?
Not the whole nation, the stubborn, the stiff neck, and
the rebellious. Now, Moses happened to know how
many in his congregation was stubborn, stiff-necked and
rebellious. I'm going to say that again.
Moses knew how many in his congregation was stubborn stiff
neck and rebellious. So he goes to the Lord, he says,
if you do that, it will look like a massacre and all the
nations are going to draw this conclusion.
That you have brought them out, not to free him, but to kill him
because it's going to look like you killed everybody.
So for your namesake, let's don't do that.
The Lord's like fine. Our lemon ate them yearly.
He still got rid of it. Just he did it in a process of
40 years. I would just eliminate them
yearly. because they said I couldn't bring their kids and
I'm bringing their kids in they said I couldn't do it, but I'm
still going to do it. But they're not going to be
there to see it. Now, if you read the number,
That came out of Egypt and read the number that went into the
promised land. It's extremely close.
I mean only a few thousand off. So the Lord in 40 years was able
to replace so that the nation looked like it was maintaining
the same size. although he was eliminating stubborn,
stiff-necked and rebellious people, So, when he says, many
will depart from the true faith, I'm wondered, well, the Great
Harvest, be the many that depart God's going to replace with
someone. In, which means, if you are of
The Departed, God's already seeking out your replacement,
And guess what? He's going to replace you with
somebody. You're not thinking he should.
He's going to replace you with someone, you don't think
qualifies. Okay, now you can settle day, I
am not the Departed. I'm Not The Departed and I this
message today, will help you from becoming The Departed.
That's what it'll do at Empower you.
But again, you can't be empowered about something unless
you know what you need to be empowered to He said the Holy
Spirit has explicitly revealed, meaning, this is going to
happen. You can't stop at no good,
sermon or move of God will stop this from happening.
No, miraculous move of God. Will hinder this from occurring.
It's going to occur many will depart from the true Faith.
One after another devoting themselves to spirits of
deception and following demon inspired Revelations and
theories. Hypocritical Liars will deceive
many and their conscious won't bother them at all.
Wow. So again this is somebody that
was running in the church, you're running in.
That was praising in the church. You were praising in.
That was serving in the church. Your servant in that was
teaching in the church. You're teaching it that received
the awards and the and the acknowledgements and the
accolades and the church that you're in there will actually go
over and still be in church. But into the churches, where
there's no sound Doctrine anymore where there's false
prophets, where there's false teachers, where they're picking
up every wind of Doctrine and appeasement to the world and
their flesh. And you will be the subject of
their persecution. Same in any way.
It's just going to happen. So, how do you guard yourself
from being one of the many and what would cause someone who
knew true faith? To now be an entertainer of
deception. Now, why is it so important?
Because it tells me, I don't care how spiritually mature you
have become You are not free. From the ability to be deceived.
You're not free. Now, that doesn't mean that you
can't constantly and everytime not be deceived.
You can resist it stand against it.
I'm going to show you today. But you can never arrive to a
place of spiritual maturity and life.
In God that deception could not come to your life.
And you fall prey. Because these will be demon
inspired Revelations and theories.
See, we already know that the most of the church today
specially in the United States, especially in the United States
are going to be the most susceptible to this is because
the only way you're going to truly understand the voice of
the holy spirit is to be an actual Avid Reader of the Bible
itself. Now, when you're an Avid Reader
of the Bible, when I say that I'm not just talking about
reading the Bible, check in the box.
Like we read the Bible and check boxes because we read the Bible
and checkboxes We have a Bible reading plan.
We do every year it is you go into that word with the desire
and allowing the Holy Ghost to talk to you while you're reading
that word. So that not only can he reveal
things to you so that you can learn and discover more of who
God is but you allow him also to reveal things about yourself and
how you can overcome deficiencies in your soul realm
that he needs to continue to modify and transform so that he
can release all that the spirit of God in you wants to be All
right. And so here, if you're not an
avid study of the word in rightly dividing, the word of
Truth, Then you're already susceptible to demon Inspire
Revelations and theories, because there's one, Holy
Spirit, but there are a plethora of demonic spirits and they're
talking. Now the voice that most people
hear Believers and those that are outside, God's kingdom is
their flesh. It does enough talking on its
own but the enemy will whisper and they are according to the
Bible called familiar spirits. I said they're called familiar
spirits. Now A Familiar spirit.
Is someone as a demon or a unclean spirit that is around
situations, they're not like the holy spirit.
That is everywhere at all times, they actually have to be there.
Okay. Which means if there is an
unclean Spirit or familiar Spirit following you, they know
what you wore on Tuesday, just like the Holy Ghost does I'm
going to say that again. They know what you wore on
Tuesday. Just like the Holy Ghost has
why? Because this just a fact.
And facts aren't always just truth facts.
Try to put the Demonic realm in a position so that you would
believe you're hearing the spirit of truth because the
facts are accurate. Are you hearing me?
And when you are not a studier of the word, rightly dividing,
the word of truth, then it's easy as you're trying to lean in
to be led by the spirit. You can hear other voices.
And you're going to have to learn how to discern those.
And there's only one way to discern is through having a
solid foundation in the word. There will never be a
substitution from just studying the word.
The church will never arrive to a place that the teaching
preaching and study of the word is no longer required.
And it is monotonous. It is foundational.
It is necessary. It is not glamorous.
But it is life-changing. It is the very breath.
You should breathe because his word is life.
Are you hearing me? So here are those, who once
heard the spirit, but because of a issue, have now allowed
themselves to hear another voice and it's willing to follow it.
And the Bible tells us the many. Many will depart well, what is
it? That causes a True Believer
filled with the Holy Ghost. Who wants accurately discern the
Holy Spirit? To get called up and become
subject to this. Well, turn over to Proverbs
16:18 proverbs 16:18. Hallelujah.
Proverbs 16:18 says it this way. Pride goes before, destruction
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pride goes before, destruction and a haughty spirit before a
fall. So what would cause this born
again? On fire tongue, talking devil
casting out, laying hands on the sick, raising the dead believer.
To get into deception. Pride.
The passion says this way, your boast becomes a prophecy of your
future failure. The higher you lift up yourself
in Pride, the heart of you'll fall in disgrace Right.
Now, pride has to originate somewhere.
And Obadiah tells us where Pride, originates and Obadiah
1:3, it says the pride of your heart has deceived you.
I said the pride of your heart has deceived you.
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Hood, hat, whose
inhabitants is high? Who has said, in your heart who
will bring me down to the ground.
Now, here's the thing. Galatians 6:7 says it this way.
Do not be deceived. God is Not mocked, do not be
deceived in essence, don't let Pride manifest in your heart.
Because you'll move to deception and don't be deceived.
Because when you get there, God's not going to be mocked by
you. Now, if this was just because we
are in the situation we're in and the planet today is the only
reason why pride is a problem. Well, you know, I get it, but
where did Pride originally show up?
And what environment was it? That Pride manifested.
Did it start When sin was somewhere?
No pride is able to manifest in, perfect Godly environments.
Now, let's go back to where pride is introduced and we got
to go to Isaiah. In Isaiah.
Chapter 14, verse 11. The modern King James version
says that this way says your pride is brought down to the
grave and the noise of your Harps.
The maggot is spread under you and the worms cover you.
Verse 12, how you have fallen from the heavens?
You have what you have what what comes with pride?
Pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before the
fall you've heard. It said pride comes before the
and this is the first recorded fall.
And what caused that fall Pride? Pride.
Pride pride. This morning star was in the
creation of Heaven. Was doing the works of creation
was working for the Creator. Yet, all of a sudden, he's
fallen from Heaven. Why all shining star son of the
morning? You how you are cut down to the
ground. You who weakened the nation's
for you have said, in your heart, I will go up to the
heavens. I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God. I will also sit and the Mount of
the congregation in the sides of the north.
I will go up above the heights of the clouds are will be like
the most high yet. You shall be brought down to
Hell. From the sides of the pit Jesus
said in Luke. He said, I saw Satan fall, like,
lightning from heaven. Pride was found in a perfectly
created cherub an anointed cherub at that and anointed
cherub and anointed cherub. Pride manifested in the presence
of all creation and what did prior do Pride have the ability
in this one created an anointed cherub that was created by God
to have an assignment and to stay in their position.
And do what they were created to do was able to convince a third
of other created beings. That they could do things better
than God. in essence, the word that he Wills that he speaks
that He commands, I can do it better.
In fact, we shouldn't have to obey it.
In fact, let's don't even obey it.
Do what I'm saying? And in the realm of Heaven.
A war broke out. And Jesus said, hmm, I saw Satan
fall like lightning From heaven. When Pride got manifested in
heaven, God threw him down. Genesis 1 then God said let us
make man in our image, according to our likeness and let him have
dominion over the birds of the sea.
I mean, over the birds of the sky, over the fish of the sea
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, over all
the cattle, over all the Earth. He was making Man In His Image
according to his likeness. Are you hear me?
The first thing he said, let us make man in our image according
to our likeness. First, let him have our image.
Let him function and operate like we do.
And here's the thing, let man be in our image.
The image of God is love. And God always does what he says
he will do, because that's what love does.
Then he said let them have dominion.
Because he's in my image, he can have dominion.
Because I always keep my word. Always.
Heaven and Earth will pass away but Ma it will never pass.
I will always keep my word. Now if you weren't with us at
the beginning of the year, we did an exhaustive study about
the love of God. And we found that God always
does his word. Always.
So when man fell, And God said, let us make man in our image,
according to our likeness, that was his word.
I want man to have dominion, but when man fell from Dominion now,
no one's in Dominion. So how can God give man the
opportunity to be back in Dominion.
He has to send his own son, who then will be mad.
Be God wrapped in the flesh. Do the word entirely?
And then sacrifice himself, make the payment for the word, he
spoke to Adam, Adam, you can eat from any tree of the garden but
of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat
for the day. You eat, you will surely turn
over to Genesis chapter 3. We see this in Genesis chapter 3
will start verse 1 and it says this.
Now, the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field,
which the Lord God had made, and he said to the woman, indeed has
God said You shall not eat from any tree of the garden and the
woman said to the serpent from the fruit of the Trees of the
garden. We may eat.
But from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the
garden, we know that's the tree of the knowledge of Good and
Evil. God has said You shall not eat
from it or touch it or you shall die and the serpent said to the
woman. You surely will that's Pride
talking. Because the minute you say
something contrary to God, that's Pride.
I'm gonna say that again the minute you say something
contrary to what God has said, he will do.
That's Pride. Because the pride here means to
be exalted. So you're exalting your
situation or condition and how you should handle it over how
God declares you to handle it. well, that may work for you to
forgive them, but for me, Pride. Well, that made it work for you.
To be healed. But Pride.
This is why healing can't get to your life.
Well, that may be good for you to laugh, okay?
But for me, well, that's called Pride.
Just like when we said well be glad and if you couldn't even in
the natural go, okay Pride was in the atmosphere.
I'm not going to do what he says.
The Bible says to be glad. We're only doing scripture here.
And he says, you're not supposed to do this scripture when you
feel like it, because we're not led by site, where led by faith.
Say Amen. Anyway I mean again this whole
service is conditioned so that you will put down your flesh,
renew your mind and act on the word of God.
I mean, if all of a sudden biologist said well danced
before the Lord, well does the Bible talk about dancing?
Well then whether you feel like that's not you ought to lease
go. Well, I mean, do some kind of
Shuffle. I mean, how hard is that?
But Pride will say, I don't dance.
Also, the Lord asks you to do something.
You can't do. It's the heart.
I mean, there's a whole nother reason why you're actually not
doing it. Although I'm going to be the
blame or Pastor Marcus is going to be the blame or Pastor Marcy
going to be blaming whoever speaking.
You don't blame somebody else for your inability to do the
word. Know what you doing is you're
entertaining. Demon inspired Revelations and
theories. Because you can't act on the
word today. Hallelujah, just smile.
I mean, obviously it would be an embarrassment, really?
If I just went down one by one and says smile and see if you
would do it. But let me tell you God is Not.
He's not mocked. And something this simple.
If that bothers you, you got a problem and your sin is
crouching at your door now, because pride is starting to
elevate in you. that you'll decide when you going to do it,
But the many you decide your lord.
Your supreme authority your god. Oh, I didn't realize you've
created the heavens and the Earth, my bad.
No. I mean, this is simple, really,
living the word is simple. It really is simple.
You just got to hate your old self enough to love your new
self, and I love my new self. Way more than I, then I love my
old self. I hate my old self.
Come on, old self was wicked, wicked, and Bound for a pit.
I love my new show because he made me in Christ.
He said what I can be, he told me I was big.
Glorious. He said I was an overcomer.
He said that I had the love of God shed abroad in my heart.
And I believe that when I feel it or not and I'll act on it
because I'm not going to be the meeting.
Who depart from the one true faith.
Listen because we just don't look at scripture, right?
I mean, literally that day will come Lord.
Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name?
Then we cast out Devils. Didn't we?
He'll say, I don't even know who you are depart from me.
I'll know who you are and I'm not talking about throwing in
hell. But there may be an invitation
to the marriage, supper of the Lamb that you don't make.
See, everybody thinks things are automatic is healing automatic.
Healing comes by what you better believe and be in faith, that
your life and living. Is in the position that when the
trumpet blows, you get to go. All right, it's all right I mean
do we think that these people here that are going to depart
are going to be caught up in the marriage supper of the Lamb?
But it doesn't say that they technically are not ever gonna
be with God. They just realize dude, I didn't
live it. I was full of Pride.
I have fallen from the opportunity to be at the
marriage supper of the Lamb. Hmm.
Yeah, I better Crucify. My Flesh for sure.
Now Jesus said, don't think that I've come to abolish the law,
I've come to tighten it up, meaning it, you are more
responsible in this dispensation than any other dispensation,
why? Because you are a new creature
in Christ now, and you have the Holy Ghost on the inside of you.
And if you can't obey the spirit of God inside you now, and you
think that's still a free ticket to heaven.
Hallelujah. So he said, she says, you're not
going to die. He says verse 44.
God knows that in the day. You eat it, your eyes will be
open. You'll be like, God, they were
already like God knowing good and evil but God knew good and
evil. He did, they did not when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food and it was a delight to
the eyes and that the tree was desirable to make one wise.
She took from it, she took from its fruit and ate and she also
gave also to her husband with her, and he, and he ate And we
call this the fall of, Man. We call it the fall of Man, but
why didn't man fall Pride? Because Jesus himself says to
the world. Now, when I say the world, the
world has two types of people living in it.
Those that have no affiliation to any type of actual Devotion
to God himself. But then there is another group
in the world. That is extremely devoted to God
through religion. They are religious and Essence.
I can do what you have said on my terms and you have to honor
it. That's religion.
That's works of religion. Is you actually being lord of
the words? He has spoken and you're
interpreting it to him. Come on.
You hear what I'm saying? Seriously have we not had some
business owners that have some employees that you told them,
one thing, and then they went and told a co-worker something
entirely different And you're like that is not what I said and
you have misrepresented me. You have redefined what I said
to fit your excuse, To do a work a certain way.
They took your words. They said this is what he said,
but there's put spun of meaning on that deal.
So that it would benefit their own personal loves.
And man has done this with God's word from the beginning.
From the beginning. So what environment did Adam and
Eve fall from what was planet Earth, like?
Perfection. No sin on the planet.
The Bible tells us in Romans 5 that when Adam ate the fruit
through one man's transgression sin entered, the world sin
wasn't into. It doesn't matter that the
serpent was in the world and that the devil was there,
because it he had no literal power.
At all no Authority. Only had was a suggestion, a
theory, a new revelation. A new revelation.
I have a new revelation for you. You've never heard this before
but I'm telling you is true. You're not gonna die.
Because God knows that the minute you eat this.
You'll be like him knowing Good and Evil.
And that statement alone, doesn't let us understand the
full weight of what was actually rebuild their that Adam himself
would say, I'll just rebel against God, I'll do the same
action in essence. He had to have the same spirit.
That the Morning Star, the King James calls him, Lucifer picked
up in his heart. I can do that Aya.
Who see telling me what I'm supposed to do.
I got some thoughts on my own. Beyond switch.
I think they were and you know what?
He should listen to me. You know how many years we've
been eating every other fruit and there's tons of them had
even got to half of them. But you know what who's he to
say that? He keeps these for himself, he,
I can't have them. Who's he think he is telling me
I walk by it every day? It's right.
In the middle of garden. He going to remind me and I
can't have it. Me, who's he think he is?
Now, none of you would say that right?
None of you. I never said that out of never
said that really who's he think he is not to forsake the
assembling of himself together? Who's he think he is?
Who's he think he is that? I'm supposed to walk by the
spirit. And not deal with this situation
in the flesh. He don't know what they did to
me. I mean, he doesn't know what
they did to you. But you want to handle that
situation different than the way he wants to handle it prod.
Pride comes before, here's the thing.
If you'll recognize, you know what, I'm being prideful right
now you can stop before falling comes.
I said you can stop before falling comes, but let me tell
you, something says, it's as clear as clear can be know that
this is going to take place. You cannot sidestepping.
You can't be in Pride and not ever fall.
Just like you can't sin and it not be found out for your sin
will, maybe could happen. But you know what people at like
it would maybe not happen. I can get away with it.
Because they come in here on the same line and worship God.
They praise has raised their hands.
Yet on another night, they doing something else.
And the Lord in his Mercy, allows him to continue to get in
his environment. That doesn't mean he's accepting
your alternative behavior, and his grace is allowing you to do
it. It means he's just
long-suffering. And all the while talking to
you. What are you doing?
What are you doing right now? You need to quit doing that.
Stop doing it if you repent right now I like it never
happened. If you repent right now I'll act
like it never happened and we can deal with the consequences
of your actions. But you're going to have to
repent. So it's a perfect heaven
environment that Lucifer gets pride in his heart and it's a
perfect heaven and earth have iron meet again.
That Adam gets pride in his heart.
Well now what environment are we in?
Unfortunately pride is all around us.
I mean it like thrives here in the earth.
I mean, it grows without being stopped.
I mean, it is amazing. How pride and we already know
that it's in the heart of man that has never made Jesus the
Lord their life. Why is he not Laura the life?
Because of Pride I'm not going to submit to him.
You know what how do we know he's the only one.
Anyway, You know, I got a God and I'm going to do just fine
with that one. Right yet.
Paul himself writes to a church that he established The one in
galatia, he starts off the letter, you know, he gets
through the first couple of chapters, right?
And in those two chapters, he talks about how he's been
crucified with Christ. It's no longer him who lives,
but Christ lives in him. I mean, he's passionate about
this new life in Christ and being totally submitted to the
lordship of Jesus, because he's King of the Kingdom.
I'm not in a religion. So I can't go around thinking,
the king is going to yield to my whims.
That I get to kind of determine what image I met Jesus.
What image do I want to form human in my likeness?
This is happening all over the place.
Why? Because the Bible says that God
empty himself, he became a man and he was tempted on all
accounts Like Us in essence. We do not have a high priest
that doesn't know our sufferings meaning.
He knows everything you feeling right now because he himself has
suffered it. But you know what, in his
suffering, he did not sin. because he's a man who knows
him, which means when he felt like he wanted to get revenge,
he did when he felt like he wanted to sleep with someone.
He didn't when he felt like he wanted to lie about somebody.
He did when he says so I felt like he wanted to talk bad about
somebody. He did when he wanted to kill
somebody. He didn't When he wanted to say,
do you know who I am? Really you going to pull my
beard out right now? I bring a legion Angels down.
I done told my boys in the garden.
You hit me one more time. Oh, y'all want to hear that?
I mean, I'm sure you a whole world of people.
You hit me one more time and they have the Misa annihilate,
the place. But Jesus knew.
It's coming. It's just not coming right now.
But I'm praying you won't be among the ones that get it, even
to his own enemies. He's like, I hope you change.
I hope you change and they punch him again and I hope you change
and they punch him again. I hope he change and they punch
him again. I hope you change and they
scourges back. I hope you change and they
taking more flesh out. Hope he change.
Because then when he looks at him beaten so bad, he can't
tell. He was a man totally naked on
the cross. He says, forgive them Father.
They don't know what they do. He gave up his spirit.
And then we go out, like we can't forgive. he says, man, I
take your sin and throw it into the Scentsy of It's gone.
I don't bring it back to my mom. I know how you feeling.
But I know how you cannot sin and how you feeling.
And if you don't be prideful right now, I'll give you an
answer a way of Escape. but if you're going to be prideful,
Fallens coming. It's coming because every time
here's the thing, the wicked thing about pride pride has this
ability to make you think you're getting away with something.
That you're Justified because pride in the root of itself is
what I say about this is higher than what God says about this.
and if you respond to multiple situations continually having
that attitude, then Pride willfully.
Take over and you'll be deceived and it'd be easy for the devil
to feed you half-truths. You know what half truth is.
It's the truth with a little spin on it.
That's what he did to Eve. The Bible says he deceived Eve
that she was deceived. What'd he do?
He said what's God say, is that what he said?
Well, okay, I get it but there's one part.
I'm going to add a word not because you know what?
You really not going to die. I want to know what he said.
Pass really not going to happen because here's the deal you'll
be like God and she's already heard that.
There's something God knows, you don't know, and that's why he
won't let you eat the fruit. He's holding out on you.
I mean, you're like him but you're not liking. now, if you
want to get totally liking, Then you eat the fruit.
And how many Believers are constantly doing things contrary
to the word and yet they would call themselves humble.
Here's one of the most prideful statements ever, you ready?
Well, I know the Lord can heal me.
I get it. But you know not my will but his
will be done. I just want, what's best from
the Lord? Who am I to tell God to heal me?
Well God said he heal. You.
Just receive it. But the enemy has given you a
revelation, a theory that you're learning something, because
you're special to have this and you actually glorify God more
with it. And there's many that are
carrying sickness in their lives.
As a badge of the Lord. Instead of studying the
scripture to find out that in the healthcare system of the
Kingdom by his stripes, we were healed and that they can walk in
the healing of God for the sake of their purpose.
Come on. You hear what I'm saying?
So we'll carry things around like we're humble, but the
reality is were acting or behaving over allowing things in
our lives that are against the word.
Well, you know my family, you know, they just get mad.
That's just how it happens, right?
Me just how happens, you know, it's just part of our you know
DNA know you got a new DNA, you're in Christ.
Now, the Lord can tell you how to get angry and not sin.
Y'all doing. All right.
I think I got some dozers. I'm a few worked all night.
I get it but you know if you're like, wow I was just got hush up
so I can go. Well, you don't have to stay,
you can just get a move. Leave it don't bother me.
One, bit you walked out of movies before walk out of this.
Bother me. I'm not hurt but my life is not
in you. But what I'm saying, will save
your life. will keep you from being prideful and falling and
being part of the many who depart Because it's going to
happen. Let's close with Proverbs
chapter 8, I want to close with this, cuz I'm gonna probably
pick this up next week. Now, I've done announced that.
So, we'll see how many show up. We might have a mini departed
already happened. A mini mini, depart a mini mini
have departed. Go ahead.
Look at your neighbor. See, who's here?
That way you'll know next week. Where is they?
Must have failed this week. I'm just kidding again, if that
bothers you then there's something wrong with your own
heart. Because when you're free in the
Lord, man, I mean, you know, listen, I know I'm following
God, I love God, I have no issue.
The only person income uncomfortable in this room.
Today is those whose have has an issue with God.
Because again, they don't have an issue with a person because
our battles very clear. The Bible says your battle is
not against so you can't give me a name that you got a problem
with. You don't have a problem with a
person. You have a problem with the word
of God on how to handle the current situation you're in.
That's your problem and you're in proud and you need to get out
of your pride and go ahead and yield to the word.
He has already given to you on how to handle this situation.
Because you're only going to hear this here.
You're only going to hear this here.
Because I'll never be moved by your situation.
But I will say it is. It's written.
Hallelujah. Proverbs 8 verse 13.
This is good. You want to get out of Pride,
here you go, the fear of the Lord.
You got to be a person who wants to honor God at his word at
every cost. More than hold on to it as a
perception of how this thing should go down.
According to you, the gospel of you You know, I feel right in
their own Gospels. The Gospel According to, no,
you're not inspired gospel. Because if your words are not
his words than you're not inspired, the fear of the Lord
is to hate evil pride and arrogance and the evil way and
the perverted mouth. What's this, A who hates this?
Now, he say, God, this is talking about wisdom, okay?
And obviously wisdom and understanding you should read
the whole chapter, be honest with you, you want to help and
get ahead for next week. Not that I'm technically going
back into this passage of scripture next week but it will
help you. You should read this particular
one next week to help yourself to put yourself in a position
that you don't ever get in Pride and pride Again by its simplest
definition. Is you taking a Thoughts and
exalting it above God's word, in that situation and doing it
instead. You're in Pride and if you keep
doing that, you're going to fall because it's producing sin.
Because you're doing something contrary to how God says to do
it. The fear of the Lord is to hate
evil pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverted
mouth. I hate.
But God is love. Love hates council.
Is mine in sound wisdom? My I am understanding.
Power is mine. Listen God has delegated, you
power and he will allow you to make your own choice but he'll
hold you accountable to the words that you are exalting and
allowing to govern and Rule your life.
And and if those words are not his words, then there's an
impending outcome. So, he's saying councils mine.
How should I handle this situation?
Well, what's the Lord say councils his He's not counsel,
he's not Consulting you. So how do you feel about doing
it this way? The God is not a psychiatrist.
So tell me. How does that make you feel?
Now, you know, I would say that you should do this but how does
that make you feel? Was that you're uncomfortable
with that. Okay, hmm.
Well what do you think we should do?
And this is the god, most people want the god that they can
manipulate with their feelings and hers.
I mean, you might as well get that one God.
What is it? What's that Miss amida over in
India? The the big statue?
That's got, like, 36 arms, it's painted black and this the god
of Revenge. I know I called you on the spot,
there's only three thousand gods in India, okay?
So it's not like this is the easy one.
What's her name? Shiva.
Okay. So which one they pray when they
want revenge on somebody? What's her name?
Durga. Okay.
So they pray, that's what we want.
Our God to turn into, I'm hurt. Can you deal with that?
Can you go cut them down? You killed that?
Yeah. Kali is another name.
Jet black. Okay.
Yeah. So we're like you know Lord I
don't know that I can do that at that made me feel great.
So why don't we do it this way? Because I feel better if you
just eliminate them from me. Seeing him ever Being around it.
Having to deal with that. I mean you know you understand
Paul actually ask the Lord to try to handle a couple things.
He said I Lord can you uh take care of this and Lord said my
grace Is sufficient for you, son.
And so don't ask me again to move these.
Religious people who keep running behind you and trying to
disrupt the word you have. And that's why your glacial
church has gone. Crazy is because somebody got in
there and now you having to write a letter back to them and
say, who has deceived you That you got so prideful.
Now thinking you going to tell God how he is the respond to
you? And I realize that you want them
to, but at the end of the day, listen, I'm not stopping it.
Because when a person knows me, that's enough.
Because you know what, they'll know, they'll know, it doesn't
matter, what happened to you, how happened to you when it
happened to you, because I will vindicate, you I will bring
Vengeance for you. I will forgive you.
But if the one that did it or the multiplicity of all the
things that they were happened in your life, if any people try
to get, right then, guess what? I'll forgive them.
Because if I've forgiven you, you're gonna want them to be
forgiven because, you know that the only acting that way called
a wicked and if they repent get right then it's better.
And we can live in harmony and unity.
So if I can forgive you and heal you, it ain't just for you.
So he says, counsel is mine and sound wisdom.
I am understanding Powers, mod by me Kings reign and rulers,
decree Justice by me, princes Rule and Nobles.
All who judge rightly? I love those who love me and
those who diligently seek me will find me.
Hallelujah. So somebody don't know how to
handle situation. I'd say you're not seeking.
because the scripture says you'll find it, Riches and honor
are with me and during wealth and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold even pure gold.
I mean, people will walk away from church.
But won't walk away from their jobs.
They'll put up with bad employees before they'll put up
with a congregation member. That makes a mistake.
And my yield better than Choice. Silver, I walk in the way of
righteousness in the midst of the paths of Justice to endow.
Those who love me with wealth that I may feel their treasure.
I'm telling you, I just like, give me your word.
I want your understand. Now jump down to verse 32 now.
Therefore o Sons. That's us.
Listen to me, wisdom says for blessed.
Are you who key? Who want keep my ways?
When are you blessed? When you keep, let me say this
when you keep the word your blessed, but if you quit keeping
the word the blessing you have will run, its course.
And there's many people who aren't keeping the word anymore,
but are proclaiming His blessings and they're talking
about old ones that arrive when they kept it.
And then the devil are the demon inspired Revelations and
theories. Begins to woo them off and
substitutes. What wisdom will bring naturally
wealth. Prosperity and will say listen
to me and I'll give you the same wealth.
And Jesus said, what good? Is it a man that he gains the
world and forfeits his? so, There are many Believers
today that aren't keeping his word or enacted on his word are
behaving his word but they're shouting.
Still there still singing songs but yet they're living like the
world their carnal. That's the world, they behave
like the world, they respond to situations like the world and
then their own self efforts. They call God's blessing because
that demon inspired Revelation says God did that for you.
And yet, we hate people who sit beside us.
We're at odds with our brother. We have division Among Us.
Now, I'm not saying here although it can be here.
Honestly, it's in every church. Can I just tell you that I would
love to tell you that you're all perfect.
You're perfect in Christ if you yield to it.
Paul said, Demas has left me. Dimas was right there.
So my merits all the Miracles, God did through my Ministry.
He was right there and the revelations and the teachings
that came from the Lord be no, he's loved this present World
more and he has left me. Was there one day gone tomorrow?
Where'd they go? Where did it go?
Where they've been going the whole time?
Or they been going under your nose.
Now, therefore, All Sons, listen to me for blessed are those who
keep my ways he'd instruction and be wise do not neglect.
It blessed is the man who listens to me watching daily, at
my Gates, waiting at my door post or post we could say Y'all
should be looking for God's post instead of yeah.
Social media posts because God's posting every day.
For he who finds me Fons live and obtains favor from the Lord.
But he who, what? Sins against me injures him
injures. Who although, they think they're
causing harm to everybody else? Now, the only injuring
themselves and all those who hate me, love death, well, who
hates the Lord, those who don't fear Him, those who will take a
thought contrary to God, in a situation and say, I'm going to
do it this way, and ain't nobody gonna tell me otherwise, you
know, when I know people are in danger, a tanker Faith Church
st. Augustine is when they won't
meet with me. That's good.
They won't meet with me because they know what's going to
happen. Well, he's gonna bring that word
out. Man, I'm just, I'm not
comfortable with that. I'm not comfortable with that.
Hallelujah. Just say Amen.
Anyway, he's a pastor. I'm not met with you.
No problem here. You don't have to meet with me.
I get it. I'm just saying if you're going
through something and he'll has showed up at your door trial,
tribulation is trying to beat down.
Everything you are in some of the worst situations in your
life and no matter what your personally doing, you can't seem
and if you can't come here, Because there's tons in the room
that know how this goes down. And the word works.
Every time I said in the word works, every time and the word
works every time and the word works every time come on into
word works every time and the word works every time and the
word works every time. Cause you know, I am not taking
your sides. I only take one side, its
righteousness side. That's the only side.
I take a holy take that side and I can't help that that happen to
you. I can't help that this happened
to you. All I know is this is what God
says you can do. And You'll be free and you can
run and you can front and you'll have Victory and you'll crush
the devil's head. I know it.
Because when we move just like today, I'm not here with a bunch
of old folks. These are the spirits that
should be the most alive if you're mature.
You should be the most conditioned to throw off the
flesh, jump in with the spirit. You should be the one that is
the easiest to be able to worship dance smile.
This should be the most predominant group.
I don't care that young people are young.
They don't mean nothing to me. They can't outdance me in the
spirit. They can't out.
Shout me in the spirit. They can't outrun me in the
spirit. I mean a way more trouble than I
am. And you say, Well they're faking
appraised. Well, I at least applaud their
effort of trying to yield to the spirit because you're not
faking. You're hurt.
I just happen to know. You are now.
Thanks for letting me see it. Why don't you give him me?
And I'll give you an answer by the counsel of God to deliver
you. Out of all your trouble.
That when you're in trouble, you can still laugh.
I've had for troubling things. Come my way, this past week for
troubling things, their troubling They're troubling.
But you know, what can I do? I mean, all I can do is say
praise the Lord, but at the end of the day, if God Almighty
creates a perfect heaven and a perfect Earth and he cannot stop
ride imperfection round, then I can't stop it in the church
here. But I can preach in a way that
will deliver you so that you have the same opportunity that
man has now because the Devil didn't get that opportunity.
He wants to be Wicked. He wants to be against God.
He'll never be redeemed and he will be cast into the Lake of
Fire and all who are prideful will go with him.
So if you want to be full of pride, I won't see you in hell.
Other than you know, I look over ah I knew it.
And you called me a liar. I'm here.
No Redemption. When you're in a second death,
you understand. It's not like man can I help you
out? No.
Abraham's like can't send him over guys this is done this
settle you on that side. Now, we leaving first.
When Jesus dies and when he's resurrect we going with him.
But she going to be here for a little while longer and then
when they let you go is only for judgment.
And everyone that's in hail today or in the grave.
Where there's torment is because they're prideful.
They let some situation hurt them.
And they want their way of changing it instead of the
Lord's. Prod manifests, imperfect
environments. So Saints.
You are not without risk. The only way to guarantee you'll
never be lifted up in Pride. Is that this is what the word
says. And I'm doing it.
I'm Crucify. My Flesh.
I don't care how I feel, it's the right thing to do because
it's God's way of doing it. And I refuse to be profitable.
Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.
There's no man comes to the father but through me His
Pathway to eternal life and we're all Eternal beings.
Now it's the quality of your eternity, you're addressing
because the greatest deception in the room today is your
breathing. Because you're breathing makes,
you think you're alive now, you are alive physically, but you
could be dead spiritually. Now, what is dead?
Spiritually, you have no relationship with God.
Your spirit man is cut off. Because you have been prideful
your whole life. What's Pride?
You've been doing it your way. Do you know why most mature
believers? Fall into pride is because they
had an expectation based upon the knowledge.
They knew of God to handle a particular situation and he had
another way he was going to do it and they're mad at the way
he's done it. This is what it sounds like you
mean as much all that I've done for you.
How I've lived for you, how I've done this.
That starts, giving them the resume and what they've done for
him. And then you going to let this
happen to me. You're going to let that happen
to me. I can't believe this.
I can't believe you would. Let me go through this kind of
hurt. You know, I can tell you what
your king saying he is saying. What about me?
What did I do to deserve all that?
I got? What did I do when I came to the
Earth and only healed the sick, raise the Dead, cast out Devils
fed, people, close people, delivered, people spoke words of
Life, quoted my father prophesied, made things better
for people here to lay down my life for them.
Cuz I know Victor you still mine, this is temporary.
Haven't you learned how humanity is yet?
Don't you know that the human Spirit even though Born Again,
filled with the Holy Ghost can still Change their thinking,
back to the ways of the world and not like their worldly
again. And if you know that, then why
are you so shocked when it happens?
Instead of saying well this is the way to come out.
This is the way to change. This is the way to get back in
Fellowship. But we're mad.
I'm glad Paul didn't say Demas. He's left me seriously.
And in the same letter, he went on to say, when I had to defend
myself, everybody left me Nobody was there to help defend me when
they wanted to kill me. All I've done for you and your
churches. And nobody can show up at my
trial. He said, but that's alright, God
didn't leave me. You know what?
I'm not going to leave my purpose because you know what,
the sum total of my life is not based upon whether you're here
or not some told him my life is in Christ and doing his will.
And at the end of the day I forgive you because it doesn't
bother me at the end of the day. You're not going to keep me from
accomplishing, God's will for my life.
That's why Hebrews chapter 13, says obey your leaders who keep
watch over your soul. And let them do this.
With joy and not with grief, for it will be unprofitable for you.
Let's just do the word together and it'll be joy, unspeakable,
joy, and full of Glory, but if you're not going to do the word,
then Pride. And that's why, you know, people
get off at the end of the day, they just got full of pride.
It's not full Pride. And now they live deceive lives
using the word. Thank you so much for listening
