Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. First, empty chapter 4, verses
one and two. This has been our text that
we've launched out on. Concerning this thing called
pride, it says this the Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed,
I'm reading out the Passion translation again.
I read out of multiple translations.
So again, you know, everybody gets in their little, you know,
situations where they act like one translation is no good or
whatever the case, and then they try to do history on stuff.
I'm just telling you right now, if you're only reading one
translation, you're already going to be at a deficit.
You should read more. You then need to also go to its
original text at the end of the day.
So when we read things, we're not reading things just because
we like the way it reads. I read things because it's
lining up with the original text in the first place in the Greek.
As far as the New Testament Hebrew concerning the Old
Testament, OK. And so in this particular
context, for the sake of. Understand us being at easily
understand without me having to read a different translation or
literally break out this definition to you.
In the original Greek, the Passion translation did a
doggone good job. OK, all right.
The Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed.
At the end of this age, many say many will depart from the true
faith. One after another, devoting
themselves to spirits of deception and following demon
inspired revelations and theories.
Verse 2 hypocritical liars will deceive many and their
conscience won't bother them at all.
So this is one of those scriptures that you don't want
to be true, but it's true and just because there's a truth
here you can decide I'm not going to be in this verse.
So what I love about God's warnings is God's warning tells
the stuff so that we are not ignorant.
It's amazing the fantasy that most believers have because
they're not rooted and grounded in the word.
They have their own little thought processes of how this
things will play out. But yet the Lord has been very
clear on how everything is going to play out so that we aren't
deceived in the end. And just because he says it,
then we need to know it. And then when things start
happening, we aren't like, why is the world falling apart?
I mean, you get around some Christians, they're like, you
know, they're they're in such they have such anxiety, even
though the Bible says be anxious for nothing, full to worry.
Yeah, the Bible says do not worry.
And they're only worried because of the things that are going on
yet the Lord's like, it's going to happen.
So when you're seeing it, then you're like, well, the Lord said
this would happen, but what do I do to to safeguard myself from
it happening to me? Okay.
So the Holy Spirit says this is going to happen at the end of
this age. That's the one we're in now.
So which age are we talking about?
This one you're in right now at the end of this age?
Many. How many?
Many?
Not a few. Many will depart from the true
faith That means they once worship with you beside you,
have faith victories with you, believe God, with you, prayed
with you, could have taught you, could have given you
instruction, could have been at your wedding, could have been
your best man made honor, could have been your childhood friend
forever. Many will depart, They will let
go of, they will set aside, they will discontinue the true faith.
But what will they do? They will turn from the true
faith and remain loyal in a religious exercise to a
different teaching. So in essence they're not living
what is considered organ organized.
Coming together they will just transfer to a place that
communicates teachings that come from spirits of deception and
our demon inspired revelations and theories.
Good. That's the truth.
Now the Bible lets is going to let us know and we're going to
talk about it more. If how does a person fall into
this? Well we know the 1st Rd. to get
into deception is called pride. Proverbs 1618 says pride goes
before destruction and a haughty spirit before the fall.
The passion translation reads it this way your boast becomes a
prophecy of your future failure. The higher you lift up yourself
in pride, the harder you will fall from disgrace.
We define pride. Is this because the Bible
defines pride this way? Pride is when a person takes any
thought exhausted above God's thought of the same on the same
situation and performs their thought instead of God's.
Lets their thought govern how they operate instead of God's
thought and how it operates. That's Pride.
Now we discussed this again, just quick review because we've
got a lot to cover today. Pride manifested first within
environments that were without sin.
The first time we get about pride when we know was when the
devil. When he was the anointed cherub.
He was lifted up in pride because of all of his beauty and
he decided he's going to take over the throne of God in
heaven. But Jesus said I saw Satan fall
out lightning from heaven. Here's a heaven, there's an
God's creation. Everything's perfect.
This guy's is doing a position. By the creator and instead of
staying in the position he was created, he decided I'm taking
over creation and that was called pride and he fell and he
fell fast lightning the 2nd. Realm that we see.
Our example of pride was in Genesis, where God creates a new
this heaven and earth and he places his man in it.
And the earth is without sin, heavens obviously without sin.
And all of a sudden here's Adam created in the likeness of God
and in his image Eve as well. And as a result of that they're
in a perfect environment, yet pride happens because they took
the thought. Of the serpent in the garden
that they're not going to die when they eat the fruit that God
said they were going to die. So in both environments, no sins
around pride manifested. OK, now how do we know that we
are moving towards the road of pride is when?
We do not want to consult with the originator of the
conversation when they are already then that we are already
on the road to rebellion. What do I mean by that?
If you were here last week, we saw that God said to Adam, you
don't eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
For the day you eat you will surely die.
Now God's been coming and talking to Adam in the cool
today. He's always been in the
conversation. I mean, how long does it take
God to get with Adam? I mean right now we are in this
age where our body is decaying, is breaking down.
We have not put on immortality. Adam on the other hand had a
body that would have never died. It was glorified.
He was in a body that wouldn't die.
Cause again if you don't eat the fruit you don't die.
So spiritual and body in the realm of Adam was on a whole
another level at the time he ate the fruit.
Well, here we are in a mortal body.
Our minds are being renewed. We're having to say that thing
constantly. We're having to get it in line
with God's word. Our spirit man has been
sanctified. It's in righteousness.
It's in right standing with God. How quick can we hear from God
right now? Immediately the Holy Spirit
lives within you. How close is God to you?
You are the temple of the. Holy Spirit, so in Adam's world,
before he ate the fruit, what was his access to God unimpeded.
So when the serpent is saying you're you God, you're not going
to die. God knows that the day you eat,
you're going to be like him. I'm no one good.
And even why in the world did Adam not say, hold on a second,
that is not what the Creator has said.
The conversation I would had with him was way different than
what you just said. So I'm going to ask him to come
down and have a meeting with us. But the minute you don't have
that meeting, you're on the road to rebellion.
Why does Adam not ask God to show up?
Because Adam already wants to believe what the devil is
saying, which means he's already moving towards deception.
He's got a foot. In the door of deception because
he wants to believe what the devil says more than what God
has said, then what God has said, then what God has said,
then what God has said, then what God has said.
OK, now let me give you a few sobering truths.
The majority of believers do not read the Bible.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The Word became flesh, which is
Jesus. But if we don't read His Word,
then we don't and don't know His Word, then we don't know His
voice, which means we get situations and we pray in the
air to God, wanting him to answer us.
Yet we won't spend any time in His Word at all to be able to
recognize His voice. So we don't actually bring him
in the conversation. So many have never brought him
into the conversation because they're not reading his word
yet. They'll ask their friends to
pray. They'll ask their friends
advice. Because most of us, when we
pray, we already have a premeditated idea of what we
want before we pray. Now there's nothing wrong with
having a premeditated thought when you're praying in a
declaration of what God has said to you.
Now you said Lord. So again, at this point I'm not
having a self prescribed prayer that you're going to do what I
want. No, I my prayer is I'm telling
you what you said I had. So this is actually your will
for my life and that's why we're having this conversation.
Because I'm reminding you of your word.
Are you hearing me? But if we don't bring God into
the conversation, I mean we'll let all all kinds of people in
on our issues and dilemmas, but we will not consult with God
himself, who will deliver the righteous out of all their
trouble. And how many of their troubles?
How many of them? So why are you not talking to
him? Well, I don't want to bother him
like he's so busy. Is God busy?
Well, I would say he's purposeful.
I'm sure he's answering the prayers of his children.
He's performing his word, He's doing his plan.
But you're not. He's not so busy that he can't
answer you. And you're 1 little problem that
you think you shouldn't bother him with.
He's saying you should consult me.
Are you hearing me? So.
Again, God's not asked to come meet in the garden.
When the the devil is saying to Adam and Eve, you're going to be
like God knowing good and evil, you're really not going to die
when you eat it. Because Adam wanted to hear that
side, He wanted to believe that side, and he sure didn't want
God to show up. Are you hearing me?
Which brings us to our Hebrews 513 and 14.
This is really. Pivotal because at the end of
the day, I mean, I've been in ministry now for almost 3
decades, maybe 3 decades now, and been pasturing in this one
location 19 years. And I've been all over the world
now ministering the gospel of the Kingdom, and I've run into a
lot of people and a lot of ministers.
And I realized that the majority are stuck in verse 13.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the
word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
Righteousness is God's way of doing something.
We say you're righteous, you're in right standing with the
governing authority. Well, my spirit man is in right
standing with the governing authority because I've been made
righteous in Christ. But my mind, I'm having to grow
in that righteousness so that I can walk out that righteousness.
I have to then yield to what I'm hearing in my spirit by the Holy
Ghost and say, how does the Lord want me to do this, but if I'm
only partaking a milk? Tell me again.
I'm going to heaven when I die. Tell me again I'm going to
heaven when I die. Tell me again.
You want to know what milk is again?
If you went over to the next chapter, Hebrew chapter 6, Paul
said. Man, we need to go on from
elementary teachings, elementary teachings, right?
Being born again, laying on the hand.
These are elementary teachings. We need to graduate.
But you know what? Most of us, we just want to know
where we're going to go when we die.
And that's all we want to know about God.
Well, guess what? If that's where you're at, then
verse 14 does not applicable to your life.
But solid food is for the mature who, because of what practice or
training, have their senses what train to discern.
So this implies that if you only partake a milk, you cannot
discern between good and evil. This is why my wife and I were
at a particular location. I'm going to keep the very
general where with the person that was waiting on us had a
conflict, and the reason they were in this conflict is because
they left where they were living to move to another place.
But they were moving to the other place because the person
they had a relationship with lived there as well.
Now they're not married, and this person's A believer.
So how in the world could a believer leave their one
location, move into another location with the person they're
having a relationship with without saying I do?
Doing the benefits that come with I do, how could they not
discern? I can't move over there.
I mean, at what point was it? Well, we'll save money.
We can combine our bills. It'd be cheaper economically as
smart. Well, what about flee the
appearance of evil, even if you move into another room?
I mean, but you're an item and we're going to church.
They're singing songs. Oh, you don't want to hear this.
That's fun. Because you know how many
believers now are justifying being with that person before
they get married? How many people are justifying
talking about somebody? How many people are justifying
gossiping, justifying back body, justifying, as Pastor Marcy by
the Holy Ghost communicated, are taking their stance on church
hurt The church hurt me. Church didn't hurt you and she's
right. The church didn't hurt you
because the Holy Ghost said church didn't hurt because how
does Jesus Christ hurt you now? People hurt people.
But the reality is, is that if you're hurt, you choose to be
hurt. Because anyone who could hurt
you, and you hold that hurt, that means you are offended you
have taken an offense, and as a result of taking an offense, you
are actually hurting the church. So anyone that says they have
church hurt you might as well say no, you're hurting the
church. I'm not hurting the church.
The church hurts me. No, you're hurting the church
because you won't forgive. Jesus forgave you of your sin
and that person may have done this to you.
That could be reality. But why don't you just forgive
him? Won't you just let it go?
Why don't you just show up anyway?
Why don't you just praise God anyway?
But you can't even show up now because you hurt.
Have you talked with them? Well, no.
Well, why not? The Bible says man, if you got
an issue with your brother, go to them and then settle this
deal. Well, they may not sell it.
Who cares? At least try.
I mean people are going to secular jobs day in and day out
with people who hurt them all the time.
So we know who they're serving mammon cause they're what,
they're babies, they can't even discern good or evil and the
devil is baits them with just go to another church and they're
hurt from this church, which guess what they bring to the
next church. They're her.
So the next time they get around somebody that's dealing with
something and then you become the oh, I'm heard of that.
And then they go, And then the devil finally gets you to the
place where you say I can worship God on my own at my
house because it's really just about me and Jesus.
But the Bible doesn't say it's about me and Jesus.
The Bible says it's about the body of Christ.
So once again, he isolates you because that's what wolves do,
gets you off by itself. And then the wolf will divine
with your life. All the while you thinking it
was the church that set you up, but that's only because you're a
baby. Now you can choose to not be a
baby. Say Amen.
You can choose. Because what I'm preaching now
is called personal responsibility.
Right. God did the responsibility he
had to do. Now you got to take the
responsibility to do what you're supposed to do.
Because at the end of the day, did Jesus die for you?
Did Jesus raise from the dead? Did he put his blood on the
mercy seat? Has he paid for sin once and for
all? Big deal.
Doesn't matter if you do not make Jesus Lord of your life,
you'll still be cast into the lake of fire, which is the
second death. He did the responsible part.
He was. Now you got to take
responsibility and lay your life down for him.
But you just don't lay down your life.
This is what elementary teaching I lay down my life.
I asked you just to be Lord of my life so I could be born
again. He gets you into the Kingdom and
you say sucking your thumb the rest of your life.
When the Lord's like you're the child of the King.
Let's raise up. Let's go.
Now let's teach you something. Let me put you in the body of
Christ. I'm gonna put you with some
pass. I'm gonna put you with some
teachers. I'm gonna put you with some
apostles. I'm gonna push you with you
advantages. I'm gonna train you up so you
can get to maturity. Is that true?
Efees in chapter 4. Fees in chapter 4, verse 11
through 16 it says and he appointed some with the grace to
be apostle, some of the grace to be prophet, some of the grace to
be advantageous, some of the grace to be pastor, some of the
grace to be teachers. And they're calling is to
nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works
of ministry. As they do this, they will
enlarge and build up the body of Christ.
These grace ministries will function until we all attain to
what Oneness. Us in the faith until we all
experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God.
And finally we become one perfect man with the full
dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the
abundance of Christ. And then our immaturity will
end. And we will not be easily shaken
by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false
doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies, but instead we will
remain strong and always sincere in our love as we express the
truth. All our direction and ministries
will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed
head of His body, the. Church, for his body has been
formed in His image, and is closely and is closely joined
together and constantly connected, as one and every
member say every member, every member has been given divine
gifts to contribute to the growth of all, and as these
gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we
are build up and made perfect. In love, the number one way you
can guarantee that you will not be one of the many deceived is
that you refuse to leave the local body Church God has
assigned you to. You refuse.
I'm not going anywhere. God placed me here and I'm not
going anywhere. I don't care what I hear.
What's been said? Cause let me tell you, lots
going to be said, lots going to be talked about, lots going to
be said. I said lots going to be said.
Boy, if they talked about the head when he walked around on
the planet and performed miracles, said man that guy cast
out devil in the name of bells above, that's just a demon man
right there. If they go say that about Jesus,
do you think they're not going to say that about his church,
about his body? You don't think the devil's
going to want to try to come in and bring disunity and and
discord and try to break up what God is functioning and flowing
through? Man, You got to be at a safe
man. You ain't never going to let me.
I ain't never getting off this thing, ain't never going to Get
Me Out of here because we are stronger together.
And here's the thing. We are with less excuse than the
Old Covenant. Because we are born again.
Our spirit is alive. We do have the Holy Ghost on the
inside of us. We have the Word, and God's
revealing that word to us by His Spirit, which means the fruits
of the Spirit to walk in love towards the brethren is ever
present in us. Easy to forget they're not a
situation you're in that your emotions could get you so riled
up. That you couldn't say No, Lord,
what do you want me to do? That's how I'm going to stand,
and I'm going to be right there. Now that's twofold, because for
the one that's in sin, resistance is coming to you.
For me to walk in love, I got to resist your behavior or your
action. Love does that because we cannot
accept that sin is not accepted in the Kingdom of God.
We can be merciful. long-suffering give you an
opportunity to repent. But there come a point.
That there's resistance because God is never well with sin.
But now when you repent and have a lifestyle and keep them with
repentance, we act like it. Now, have you ever been around
someone who's blown it? They made mistakes, and this is
usually their testimony. The church left me, you know, I
got in trouble and they just abandoned me.
No, you abandoned the church. When you did your wrong, you are
the one walking away from the church, entertaining the lust of
your flesh while the Church will like stay here, do the Word.
Stay here. We're all together.
We're all doing the Word. We're all loving God.
You're like Hallelujah. Glory to God.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
You're backing away. But then now that you're in sin
and you've fallen and the church is like, get up, come on now,
get up. But you're not wanting to get
up. You don't want to get up.
So what do you do? You begin to say the church left
me, abandoned me. They didn't want me anymore.
They cut me off. No, you cut yourself off because
you are eating what you're not supposed to eat.
You are doing what you're not supposed to do.
Devil's done a really good job of deceiving the church.
That we have to accept everything.
I don't accept sin. I don't accept it one bit.
I know there's people sitting in here and sin.
I know why. Cause you're people, that's why.
At the end of the day, you're people, right?
You know, so sins in the house. Some of you might be lost.
So you were like professional center.
I get it. I was professional center one
time myself. That was my nature.
That's what I did. I sinned.
I was cut off from God. But there's some believers in
here that have actually fallen away.
Now not all the way, but they're on the road and instead of
resisting because what pride says, I can't go down the alter
and people see because that's what the devil you can't go down
there. You know what position you hold
people can't you know what people going to think of you.
I mean he's deceiving all the time like that.
But instead of Nah, man, I I got to get this right.
I can't live like this. I can't, I can't act like that
towards them. I know there's a comp, but I got
to fix me so that hopefully we can fix that.
You know how many? You know how many logged?
You know how many spec finders do we have here?
Spec finders. You know who spec finders are?
No, they're your law. You see the log in your brother
eye, right? You're looking for logs all the
time. Now here's the thing, the Bible
doesn't say you're wrong in identifying the log.
He just says deal with your spec first before you go pulling out
a log. So at the end of the day, we all
have to come to grips with stuff.
But if you want to guarantee number one, you say I stay
submitted to the church I'm assigned.
Under the fivefold ministry that God has assigned in my life,
they are there to build me up and straight.
You understand? We are here to coach you and
train you to maturity. That's what we're here to do, I
said. That's what we're here to do.
And again, Saints have no issue in every other sector of society
when these things go down. The number one that we are the
most tolerant of correction is in the sports arena because for
whatever reason, all you little Mamas and daddies thinks your
kids going to be playing in the professional leagues.
So everyone of them, you're going so you know the coach,
yell at them, tell them to do more, tell them to run more
coach. But how many times you yelled at
one of your students, right? One of the athletes, right?
I mean, you can't even name it right?
You know, but Mama, don't run over there and say, don't you
talk to my son like that. Don't you talk to my daughter.
Who do you think you are? No, they reinforce you.
Did you hear what your coach said?
I wish I'd get some parents to reinforce what their pastor
says. Did you hear what your pastor
said? Give me that phone.
Do you hear what your pastor said?
I know you want stuff. I know you got your other little
apps in here that's got me locked out.
Hallelujah, right. I mean, all of a sudden, I mean,
we take all this because we going to do the work, man.
We going to be champions and we trying to let help help you do
the work so you can release the champion you already are.
In order to do that, you understand?
Just don't get offended when I'm like, bro, you're going to have
to do better than that. Said I work good.
No, Hallelujah. I mean, Coach Bo's just trying
to release their potential. He sees things as they're
running and he's like, if they do this, they do that.
We could get another half a second shaved off their time.
We can do this. We can do that.
We have no problem with that. We let the world educate our
kids and they'll come home and next thing you know, you're
like, OK, well, you know, if your teacher wants you to do
that project, do it. You're going to have to stay up
late. Pastor wants you to read the
Bible. Well, I know you're tired.
Honey. Go home.
You can just. We won't even go to church
tonight. OK?
Say Amen anyway. I mean, deception's afoot
because pride is ever present to try to get you to think that
your way of doing it is better than God's way of doing it.
Come on, it's ever present. Multiple situations are
happening that you're going to have to decide.
Is that what God would want me to do, or is that my own
thoughts? There Now Philippians chapter 3,
verse one through 3. Praise the Lord.
You need to understand I already have two sermons here.
Literally I finished two. I got next week's already done.
So I really need to finish this today.
Philippians 3. One through 3 says this, Paul
said. Finally, my brethren, rejoice in
the Lord. To write the same things again
is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard to you.
Beware of the dogs, Beware of the evil workers, Beware of the
false circumcision, for we are the true circumcision who
worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no
confidence in the flesh. Now this is this age.
Paul is saying in this age there are dogs, there are evil
workers, there are false circumcision.
Then he was also bold enough to say I'm true, which tells me
discerning who's false and wicked and who's true.
Is available and he does not mention names, but he's
obviously implying people. He did not mention their names,
but he's letting them know there's some people you're
listening to. They're dogs.
They're evil workers. They're notice these terms he's
using. He didn't say, well, you know,
just got to love people. They're dogs.
Go ahead and say it. Say they're dogs.
Say they're evil workers. Say they're false circumcision.
They're out there. Now you understand I love the
false circumcision. And he goes there because he's
letting you know They give the appearance of circumcision in
covenant, but they're not because they're not living it.
How do we know he's of the true? Because he says this.
We're the true who worship the Spirit of God and glory in
Christ. And what do we do?
Put no confidence in the flesh? None.
There's no confidence there. They have no confidence in
themselves outside of Christ, in themselves, outside of Christ,
in themselves, outside of Christ.
And if you could have a discerning, trained ear, you can
tell when people are putting confidence in themselves.
But that's only when you're trained, because you stayed
submitted to a local body church and under the fivefold ministry
that is maturing you. He jumps on and goes further
down in the 17th verse of the same chapter, he says, Brethren,
join in following my example and observe those who walk according
to the pattern you have in us. I mean, this is bold stuff here
that he's saying you want to know how to do it, right?
Watch me. He said for many walk, of whom I
often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are
enemies of the Cross of cry. What is Paul saying here?
He goes on and says, whose end is destruction, whose God is
their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, Who set their
minds on earthly things. Now we're not just talking
possessions, we're talking things of the flesh.
Things that person that are, that advance them personally,
that make them look good, that advance their selfish ambitions.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? So he's saying now there were
many that walked in my example, but now they're not, and they're
actually enemies of the cross. And now he's talking to the
church here. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
He said, well, Pastor Earl, what if someone gets off?
Is there no hope? There is hope if they repent.
But if they don't repent, there's no hope.
They need to repent. Which tells me we cannot afford
to not stay. Passionately submitted to the
Word and spirit of God and constantly grow.
We cannot coast in this life. The minute you do, you're
already starting to slide. You're going backwards and you
don't even know it. But this also tells me there are
observable ministries that you can know.
I said no, that they are doing it right.
Now Paul prefaces in his Corinthian letter this way, he
said, imitate me as I imitate Christ.
So when you get around someone and you're hearing their
conversations, how they're dealing with situation because
you know, people come in. Hey, Pastor Earl, tell me about
so and So what happened here. I always, you know, digging for
information and I'm like. Why don't you just pray for
them? You know, I really can't talk to
you about that. They come to me, you know, got
some situation or problem going on.
Well, what does the Bible say Who we pointing to?
Some of you may even know of personal attacks that are coming
against me. How am I responding?
Are you watching the example? How are others responding?
Are you watching theirs or do you just want to believe the
other party? It's amazing how many people
want to believe that a person that's living right actually
isn't. Now the reason why that isn't
because usually the person hearing isn't living right
themselves. And they want to be to continue
to justify their living. So turn over to Second Peter
Chapter 2. See Deception is going to Run
amok in these last days. It's going to continue to
increase and increase and increase and increase and
increase.
Now, that shouldn't cause you for alarm that you should just
be conscious of the fact that just because it increases, what
do I do to continue to increase my strength in staying always
pure with the word of God and staying a true circumcision,
walking wholly and blameless and the Bible tells you how to do
it. Very simple, actually.
Is extremely simple actually. If you are a studier of the
word, if you actually are what God originally wanted us to be.
If what he told the disciples go into all the world and make
disciples, but the church got deceived and decided to quit
making disciples and make converts.
That all we want to do is get them to confess Jesus's Lord, so
that when they die they'll go to heaven.
And we're not really going to take personal responsibility in
disciplining them. How do you disciple somebody?
What if you're going to disciple someone?
You got to let them know when they're wrong.
It's called enlist them as a pupil.
We have a private school. I would love to tell you all of
your children make hundreds, but they don't.
Our actual teachers give them back papers with X marks on
them. Wrong answer.
I hope your child's not damaged when they found out they were
wrong. But why do we do that?
That isn't right. That isn't correct.
We not only do it in academics, but then we do it in behavior.
I have so many sensitive parents.
Thank God. Hopefully it's none of you.
If you are, we'll deal with you because you're in this
congregation. I can't do it with the others,
but they get so sensitive because, you know, my child
brought on other another red note.
Well, they're in the flesh today.
What can I tell you? That doesn't make them a bad
kid. We're training them to hear
their spirit instead of their flesh.
Now, why don't you support that at the house?
Instead of acting like we don't like your child and we're
targeting them. Because in the public school,
you're going to be really deceived when my child never
gets in trouble. Why?
Because the public school will let your child live by the
flesh. They're not going to correct
them when they're lusting after another person, they're not
going to correct them. When they're smooching on
somebody, they're not going to correct them.
I mean, they're not hardly corrected at all anymore.
Their hands are so tied in the public school system and your
child's never going to and you're going to be man.
Look how they're doing so good. Now they be maybe making a
grade, but their moral life is decaying in front of your eyes
and you don't even know it. No.
OK, say Amen Anyway. I'm just trying to help you get
out of deception. I'm not saying your child can't
go to public school. What I'm saying is don't buy the
lie that they're doing that great.
All of us are never free from the conflict of our flesh.
Galatians 5 tells us our spirit and flesh battle daily.
Period. Do you know how many times I
have to kill the flesh daily and a lot daily?
I mean, my sword is so I have to sharpen that thing every day.
I'm telling you, I'm like cutting stuff constantly.
Don't think you're coming behind me, man.
I get a 2 edged sword here. I'll put like you know the
lightsabers you've got too. You'd be like 'cause the word of
God is a sword. And it cuts down every thought
that exalts itself above God to try to get my flesh decide.
So I'm having to cut that down and cut that every day.
And man, if you don't sharpen that sword with the Word, then
you're going to quit tired of yielding and willing that sword
and next thing you know the flesh is going over.
I don't care how many Bible doctrine degrees you have, how
long you been in the church. You can fall away like that.
Your flesh will jump on you and suffocate you.
You got to be vigilant all the time, cutting down thoughts.
And let me tell you something. You know how many times Jesus
had to just cut down thoughts? Sometimes you would hear him
say, man, how much longer I got to suffer with you?
Now why did he say that? Because he knows all the
thoughts. Concerning what you know and why
in the world are you not acting on it Seriously, we've had this
teaching already. Be a doer of it, yet you're not.
So everyone of us, I get Red Note days.
Yeah, self-inflicted. I'm like, man, I could have, I
could have processed that better.
I should have responded way quicker in a different light.
There, that's a red note for me because my spirit man's talking.
Are you hearing me? Everybody can correct in the
world, but the church isn't that amazing.
Second Peter, Two One through 4. Passion says it this way.
In the past there arose false prophets among God's people.
Just as there will continue to be false teachers who will
secretly infiltrate in your midst, why did abide you
bringing with them their destructive heresies?
They will even deny the Master who paid the price for them,
bringing swift destruction on themselves.
This means they let me finish reading these four version.
I'll come back and dissect it. Many will follow immoral
lifestyles because of these corrupt false teachers.
The way of truth will be slandered.
They are only out for themselves, ready to exploit you
for their own gain through their cunning arguments.
Their condemnation has been a long time coming, but their
destructive destruction does not slumber or sit.
Wow, okay. Thank you idly by, for it is
sure to come. Now do not forget, God has had
no pity for the angels when they sinned, but threw them into the
lowest, darkest dungeon of gloom and locked them in chains where
they are firmly held until the judgment of torment.
So here we see that people really through selfish
ambitions. Come in among the church.
A person can realize that they're lost without God, get
born again. But if they do not renew their
mind, the selfish ambitions they had when they were lost are
still the same selfish ambitions when they're born again.
In fact, it is so such a so problematic that Paul instructed
Timothy do not put a brand new believer.
In some form of leadership. Because if you do that, they run
the risk of incurring the same sin as the devil.
They'll get lifted up in pride. They'll be lifted up in pride.
So there's a cleansing of your mind, a washing of your mind
through the watering of the word, the training of your mind,
the growing of your mind. And then when I was reading
this, the Lord said, son, that's why I told you, you're not going
to have any type of teaching outside of the inside of this
church. So why do not do small groups
sell groups of Bible teaching? I have none that are sanctioned
outside of this local body. Now I can't control you at your
house. I'm not here to control you.
I mean, if you have one of somebody that y'all were
discussing where that's entirely up to you.
But I don't do that. God has literally told me not to
do that. And he just reminded me here
son, This is why you don't, because I never instituted that
there would be this context, it it would always be at risk if
you begin to allow everybody to be teaching that at the end of
the day somebody's going to want to start their own stuff through
a fence. Keep it in the house, keep it in
the house, keep it in the house. So I keep in that and our city,
you when that ministry came through, and again if it may.
In other nations, it is more, it functions better because of the
hindrance of them being able to come to church.
In fact, in some places it almost has to be because you get
too large. The government comes shut it
down. But that's not the case here.
Now, I'm not saying you can't talk with people at your house
about the word. You should always be talking the
word. No problem there.
But what I am saying is that you understand, the minute we start
this process, there's you. It is guaranteed I'm going to
shut a house down. It's guaranteed I'm going to
shut down somebody's house because I'm going to have a
rogue. A backsliding prideful I know
more than the pastor we have in the Holy Goes move more and our
stuff that is going to happen. It happens all, especially in
the United States and the United States.
At the end of the day, we are that the least excuse to
collect, yet we are the weakest. That's what's sad.
We are a nation where we could have the strongest thriving body
of Christ, but we have become the weakest.
Why could we stay home and watch it on TV?
We watch it on TV. I mean, I can't even stop that
kind of teaching. All I can do is preach truth
here, mature you here. Because here's the thing.
If you are hanging out with people at your house and and and
are you in our anchor faith life classes?
I mean, if it's about a hunger of the word, are you in those
classes? I mean, because I have plenty of
people who can teach, you know, the only reason why I don't add
more classes is because I'm actually right now only getting
a handful of people actually attending, I mean.
How many of you know about the full armor of God?
How many of you could learn more about it?
Maybe you should go to class. We're talking about the origin
of the Bible, the history of the Bible.
It's really important to know that class is being taught right
now. We'll have some other classes
come at the end of the day. This if we're really hungry for
the word. But you know what?
Pastor Mars preaching on this in Valdosta.
He's having to deal with the spirit of Jezebel.
Oh, yeah, That comes into New Testament Church.
You know what they do? They want Bible studies and more
prayer time. But what they're doing it,
they're absaloms and they're Jezebels.
They're pulling people away. Now, I don't have this problem
here. Let me can I just say that I
have no known problem of this occurring at Anchor Bay Church.
I do not have this. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
I know of particular people that get together and meet and do
some study on their own, but they asked me and I said, okay,
you know, I can't control what you do in your house.
Just know it's not sanction. And if you end up teaching
something that ain't right, you know I'm not.
I will preach from here. So, you know, make sure you're
rightly divided at the end of the day.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? Okay.
And those individuals are active in ministry here.
They're actively doing stuff. I don't have that issue.
But all I'm saying is, is that if you're wanting things, what
are you doing in the house? Because the house offers a lot,
Okay. So we have to understand then
they may come in secretly, but they are going to be exposed.
Because verse four tells us This is why I'm not afraid.
That's why I'm not afraid. At the end of the day, you can't
violate this scripture. Your sin will surely find you
out. Your motive will show up.
It's going to happen. And man, we are going to have a
meeting. Because if you're not listen to
the Holy Ghost to get it right, God's going to show.
Make me show up as pastor. It's just going to happen.
And I'm not against you. I'm here to liberate you.
Set you free, keep you in freedom.
But know this it says. Do not forget verse four.
God had what no pity on the angels when they sinned?
None. God does not feel pity now He
has mercy, but he does not have pity, because if you resist His
voice. He will give you that
consequence, verse 5. And he did not spare the former
world in the days of Noah, when he sent a flood to destroy the
depraved world, although he protected Noah, the preacher of
righteousness, along with the seven members of his family.
And don't forget that he reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah, condemning them to ruin and destruction, And God
appointed them to be examples as to what is coming.
To the ungodly. Yet he rescued A righteous man,
Lot, suffering the indignity of the unbridled lust of the
lawless. For righteous Lot lived among
them day after day, distressed in the his righteous soul by the
rebellious deeds he saw and heard.
If the Lord Yahweh rescued Lot, he knows how to continually
rescue the godly from their trials and to reserve the
ungodly for punishment. On the day of judgment.
Now I want to tell you a little bit about Lot here.
Rick Renner and his sparkling Jim's book says this concerning
verse eight. It says that Lot was distressed.
One translation says he was tortured OK.
Another translation said he was vexed OK and that Greek word
here when it says that he was distressed in this passage of
scripture. It means to be tortured it.
You see, when Lot first moved into the city of Solomon Gore,
the evil sights he saw in those cities were a torture to a soul.
But because he dwelled among them and saw their sin deeds day
after day, after a period of time his soul was number longer
tortured. In seeing and hearing their
unlawful deeds day-to-day, his righteous soul became
desensitized and he acclimated to that evil environment and
he's righteous. He completely lost his spiritual
sensitivity because of the images that became so
commonplace to him. What a lesson the story of Lot
teaches us, especially in these last days when violence abounds.
If we we must set our guard and stay viligent regarding
regarding what we see in here, the scenes and sounds we allow
to enter our eyes and ears have the ability to save us or
desensitize our soul. Now I wrote a whole book on Lot
called More Than a Lot. Because the Bible, Jesus himself
talks about how Sodom and Gamora could have stayed.
But because righteous Lot did not live out his righteousness,
did not speak it, communicate it, confess it.
He had no profound effect. In his community and the church
today, especially in the United States, we are desensitized.
In our soul. We are accepting.
Sin in the church and just want people to go to heaven when they
die. We're letting carnality run
amok. Now when I say we we are not.
Let me just prep. We are not.
I know right now in the church
today of people who are dealing with stuff and I am patient and
long-suffering. To see them repent.
But they're about one more visit, and I'm going to meet
them face to face at the door. Because carnality and an
unrepentant heart to someone who knows better is not tolerated in
the Kingdom of God. And that's not unmerciful.
It is mercy. Because if you're not doing what
the Holy Ghost says and giving me the evidence of it, we're
having a meeting. Because I refuse for you to be
here and not bring the originator of the conversation
into the conversation. Now you say, pastor, oh, you're
not going to grow a church that way.
I will grow his church that way. I may not grow numbers, but I
will grow. His church and his church will
be powerful. His church will be blameless.
His church will be without spotter Rico.
His church will be victorious. His church will conquer, and
those individuals will be one. They will be a community.
They will be a family. They will love each other.
And they'll say you can be with us if you only repent.
But if you don't, this is your choice.
It's what you're doing. Now I understand that I'm the
one that gets attacked because Jesus is the one that gets
attacked. But at the end of the day, are
we going to be doers of the word or not?
How long did it take to get saved?
You believed you got born again. How long did it take to get
filled with the Spirit you believe?
You began to speak. How long does it take to repent?
You believe, you confess. He cleanses you from all
unrighteousness. And now yet walk straight.
Now here's the thing. Every sin we do after Christ in
Christ has different consequences.
I can hate my brother. To God that's like murder.
But I ain't killed him. I said I ain't killed him.
So when I confess. And say, Lord, I hated my
brother. Forgive me.
And say son, I forgive you. Now guess what I don't have to
do go to jail. But now if I hate my brother to
the point I actually kill him, can God forgive me to be now a
murderer? Physically, can I be forgiven?
But that doesn't mean I won't have to serve serve time.
The Bible says if you lust after a woman in your heart.
You commit the sin off well. Mental lust is different than
physical adultery, and the consequence of both actions can
be different. God will forgive both.
God can restore both marriages, but God could.
But one marriage could fall apart because of the physical
action, because that personnel has the right You've broken the
covenant, and they can righteously step out.
Yep. So again, it's consequence of
how far you allow your action to go.
Can God forgive? Yes.
Does the Church forgive? Yes.
Does the Church forget? Yes.
But you have to keep a lifestyle in keeping with repentance.
Say, well, who's judging that? We are?
I'll say, oh, you're a judge. Nope.
I'm not judging your eternal salvation, but I am examining
your fruit. The Bible says to judge your
fruit. He says you'll know they're my
disciples by their He said I'll know that they're you're they
are my disciples. By their I'll know not.
He knows. Well, the Lord knows my heart.
He sure does. I have not met a person to date
that has told me that that wasn't in sin.
The Lord knows my heart. Yep, Yep.
I've not met a person to date that has said that to my face.
That wasn't in sin. You bet he does.
And you should be extremely afraid right now.
You should have the fear of the Lord on you, because he does
know your heart. He knows what you did.
He's been in every room that you've been in.
He's been in every conversation you've been in.
He's been in every place you've been.
He's been on every text thread He's been on every pornographic
website you've been in. He's been everywhere you've
been, and he knows whether you've repented.
Say Amen anyway, now, again, when you live a free life.
In the fear of the Lord, none of this preaching bothers you.
Like, preach it. Preach it.
I'm holy. I'm washed in the blood.
My mind's right. I'm like walking in love with
everybody. This is good.
Preach it. It's when you're having
challenges that you like. But again, that's the Lord
saying I got freedom for you. I got, I'm not here to condemn
you. I'm saying be free, be released
from it. Let's get past it.
Let's strengthen you so you don't fall in that area again.
So it's actually behind you. It's your past, not your future
again. I mean, it's amazing how many.
Well, what if I messed up again? Why are you acting like you're
going to get out of sin consciousness, Get into victory
consciousness, praise the Lord. Oh, Hallelujah.
Y'all doing all right. Can I finish this?
OK, I am so again. God dealt with dispensations,
know us destroyed the whole world.
Why? Sin destroyed it.
Destroyed his city. Why sin.
What does he deliver every time? Righteousness.
So here's the thing. Even in the horrible world that
Noah lived in, and he was a preacher of righteousness, he
was telling the whole world he had no converts, no converts,
nobody got right. Everybody, everybody dies.
He building the ark? Tell him y'all going to have to.
You better get it right. You just need to.
And they are mocking him. We're going to talk about
mockers next week, Mocked him, scoffed at him.
But he rises, literally rises. He's caught up together in the
air, OK? And the rest of them die.
Sonom and Gamore die. And you know what?
There was an opportunity. I am firmly persuaded that the
minute lot stood out and said, gentlemen, you need to quit this
wickedness, that if they would have said you're right, we need
to quit this wickedness, that city would have been saved.
But instead they like who made you our judge.
I'm just telling you, a couple guys fixing to smoke the place
advise you I would like. I'd change okay and then to
angels in a perfect Realm. Second, Peter 210 says this.
This especially applies to those who live their lives despising
authorities and who abandon themselves to chasing the
deprived lust of the flesh. They are willingly ignorant.
Are arrogant and insolent, Unafraid to insult the glorious
ones. Man, you got to watch out with
people who have no problem talking about the fivefold
ministry. You said.
Well, what I think they're I'm just telling you right now, God
has placed gifts in the body and you want to be extremely
cautious. You better know that you know
something that doesn't mean something can't be said about.
Because here's the thing, he's talking about glorious ones.
Ones who are actually called to the fivefold.
We're not talking about selfproclaimed prophets and
selfproclaimed teachers all pastor.
Don't be talking about them. That's the glorious ones.
Know their faults. Teachers.
They're not actually in the office.
That's a whole other different ball game, but someone who is
actually in the office, even if they're King Saul.
Because he was in the office, David treaded lightly on how he
talked about Saul. Same in anyway, even.
Yet even angels who are greater than they empower and strength,
do not dare slander them before the Lord.
These individual are nothing but brute beasts, irrational
creatures born in the wild to be caught and destroyed.
And they will perish like beasts.
They are professional insulters. Who slander whatever they don't
understand and in their destruction they will be
destroyed. It's amazing how many things the
Saints actually don't understand because of the limited knowledge
they actually have concerning situations.
So you got to be careful that you don't want to all of a
sudden pick up on something and begin to.
This is how deception begins to move.
This is how the enemy functions because the devil knows he
cannot destroy the church outside it.
He has to infiltrate inside it and get the Saints deceived.
And as he has to plant a bug, a virus got to try to destroy it
from within. He goes on and says this.
For all the evil they have done will come crashing down on them.
They consider it a great pleasure to crowd in broad
daylight when they come to your love feast.
They are but stained and blemished blemishes, reveling in
their deceptions as they feast with you.
They are addicted to adultery. And we're not talking about
sexual fornication alone, we're talking about they.
They are aligning themselves with other things to worship
beside God. Although they could be full of
sexual immorality as well, with eyes that are insatiable, there
with sins that never end. They seduce the vulnerable and
are experts in their greed. But they are children of a
curse. Pastor Mark said that he was
listening to our series on Pride and he gave me this thought.
I said, man, that's good, I'm going to use it tomorrow, he
said. Pride is the bedrock of
deception. Submission is the bedrock of
revelation. Notice in this passage they
despise authorities. You know why you're not getting
revelation? Because you're not being
submitted. This is why you'll look for
anything new. And that's why the devil can
give you different doctrines, because they'll offer you
freedom from submission to anything.
Praise the Lord. Amen.
So there's a group of individuals that the Lord is not
well with because of what they're bringing to his church.
But here's the thing. It says in verse 13 that they'll
come crashing down. So it lets me know.
Even though it can show up in a crash at the end of the day, I
don't get anxious about it. I remember one time I had a
selfproclaimed apostle show up. I had a selfproclaimed prophet
show up. I've had this, a couple things
that have happened. self-proclaimed.
They want to get over in the in the in the lobby and start you
know trying to prophesy. OK, let's let's meet.
They left. I had another self-proclaimed
prophet came sent in service set in the back all the time.
Finally decided we're going to meet with me.
It was a female. And so Pastor Angie and I met
with this individual and they raved about the teaching here
and the ministering of the word and love the worship.
Right. And just, you know, I mean, it's
why they told how awesome it was, right?
Remember Pastor Angie, stand up. Shake, tell everybody that's a
true statement. Yeah, this happened.
I mean, I was like amazing preacher.
It was amazing. So then they proceeded to tell
me they were prophetess. And that the Lord had sent them.
And So what they were gonna do is they were gonna give me a
word from God. They were so humble that they
didn't want to take credit. They would give it to me and I
would deliver it. And by the way, never talk on
money again. So I said, well, you look,
you're not the Holy Ghost, so I'm not doing that.
I mean, I'm not take them accused from you.
It's not how this works. So then they proceed to say,
well, I guess I'll just come and worship and leave.
Wait a minute. You had you just told me how
great the teaching was. So I proceeded to say, well, if
you can't stay for the whole message, then there's probably
no reason to come. And they said, are you saying
I'm not allowed to the church? I said, I didn't say that.
I said if you're only coming to hear the worship and not say for
the preaching of the Word, then there's probably no reason to be
here. Are you saying that I'm not
welcome? I said, I didn't say that.
I looked at Patreon. I didn't say that.
What I said was, if you're only going to come for the worship
and not say for the preaching of the Word, there's probably no
reason to be here. Well, I believe the Lord just
released me. I said, I think you're correct.
And they're not here. But I've seen them in town.
Yeah. Now let me tell you where my
love walks at. I go up and shake their hand.
Hey, how you doing? Because I'm not intimidated by
false prophetesses and false teachers.
They don't intimidate. I don't like all so and so's
there and I I don't. They hide.
They turn another owl. Well, what's the problem?
I mean, what's the issue here? I mean, your pastor is having to
deal with stuff a lot, but why do I do it?
Because they come after the vulnerable.
They going after the vulnerable. You think I'm going to let
somebody who's got degrees and if taught and done all kind of
stuff fall away and going to continue to start dealing with
it. And I'm not going to say
something, I'm going to say something.
But I guarantee you they are not going to set up a meeting with
you and me and them, because the day that happens, you'll
actually know what's really going on.
Because they're always right, if you're only hearing their side.
And some of you need to quit entertaining those conversations
because you're going down the road of deception, because you
don't want to bring me in or my associates in on the
conversation. Because you want to believe what
they say, which means you're already on the road to the
rebellion. But it won't crush this
ministry, It won't crush this vision.
It won't stop it. In fact, it would just make us
stronger. We'll grow more, cause God to do
it in spite of you. And we'll actually hear about
your destruction. And it.
Be sad and we'll grieve and we'll still be praying.
Lord, forgive them. Not that they don't know what
they do, cause they know what they're doing.
Last part of this chapter and we'll close.
I know I'm going along, but where are you going?
I know you're hungry, but this is what fasting's about.
Somebody ain't fasting so long. You.
I mean you. This is the longest you've gone
without food. You're going to be alright.
We going to make it. Amen.
And not anybody. Nobody's going to finish the
YouTube anyway, so I might as well keep preaching.
Because everybody wants to be deceived, apparently, You know,
we don't have an appetite for the word.
I mean, I want hungry people around me.
And I don't care if it takes me 10 years to, out of the 8
billion people on the planet, for God to move a group of
people in this location who is hungry for God, rightly divided,
living in love, in unity, go and pay the price, then I'll do it.
Because he's coming back for the church without spot or wrinkle,
which means it's obtainable. And I'm going to be a part of
the process. I'm going to be in it.
Amen. Second, Peter 215 to 22 says it
this way. Forgive me guys.
I'm going to deviate from the script.
So you might want don't want to put this on the video.
They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray
because they are prophets who love prophet and wages that
earned by wrongdoing. They are following the example
of Balem. Now you if you if Balem is
pretty amazing, you need to go read raw numbers 22 for yourself
because Balem is classic deceiver.
Classic the way the deceives function.
OK 1st 16 let me read it and then I'm going to deal with
that. Who was rebuked for evil?
For what? He was reviewed for what evil by
a donkey incapable of speech, yet spoke with a human voice and
restrained the prophet's madness.
Now when you read Romans Numbers 22, it goes something like this.
The Moab see all the Israelites and they've heard how they
destroyed Ammonites and they're like, man, we going to deal with
these people right here? Are we going to be in trouble?
Let's go get this prophet called Balam.
Because Balam, whoever he curses is cursing.
Whoever he's blessed is blessed. And we'll get him to come and
curse these people so that we can win in war.
So they show up at Balam and Balam says, look, I can't say
anything other than what God says.
So they said we'll go ask him. So he goes to God and God says
don't go with the people. Don't have nothing to do with
them. Send them on the way.
And the prophet obeyed the voice of God.
Well, the king was not well with that, So the king sent back
higher officials, more dignitaries, people of influence
and renown, then offered him. Finance.
We're going to exalt your ministry.
We're going to pay for it. We're going to do something,
Balam. Then Balam does this.
Now you know I can't do anything but what the Lord says now.
The first time he probably meant that, but the second time he's
like. And I could get wealthy off of
this deal. I might.
Let me, let me go talk to God, see if I can convince him
otherwise. Now he's going to the Lord and
motive. So he goes back to the Lord and
the Lord says, all right, you can go, but you only say what I
say. Now when you read it, you're
almost like, what did Balam do wrong?
Second, Peter tells us what Balam did wrong.
Balam wanted the wealth and was trying to manipulate God, to
give him a different word. And not only did God set him up
and he wouldn't let him say it, but he said let me try it again.
He kept trying to manipulate God.
To be at a Give a word. You know how many false prophets
today are. I'm trying to manipulate God to
give a word. But here's the thing that
happens in this one. They are tapping into familiar
spirits and deceiving spirits and they're giving a word
because they do it in. This is why I asked you to stand
up. I'm done with the days at Anchor
Faith Church that we're not going to be accurate.
I'm not going to let anybody get up here and give a word about
something. And we not going to find out was
it a word either we heard about a headache or we did not.
Either we heard about healing or we didn't because you know, say
well, we, you know, I believe people are getting healed today.
Well, anybody could say that think about that's so general.
No, it was obvious. It wasn't general.
It was accurate word of knowledge and then became
specific about a headache. Are you hearing me?
But it's amazing how people will get general that a fortune
teller could do that. You know, I believe that there's
a great blessing on the on on on the way for you.
Anybody can say that. Never can say that and bless
you, OK. Because I know in these last
days deceptions coming. So we're going to just have to
verify. I said we're going to have to
verify. At the end of the day, don't
come up here and act like you repenting and crying and
snotting all over the podium or the stage and then go walk in
your excuse, Verify. I said verify.
Say Amen. 1st 17 These are dried up river beds, waterless clouds,
pushed along by stormy winds and the deepest darkness of gloom
they have prepared for them. They spouted off with grandiose
so impressive nonsense. Consume with the lust of the
flesh. They lure back in to send those
who recently escaped from the air.
I do not tolerate. I have no patience.
None. And I'll have to.
Of someone who knows better, been trained better, has gone
through all kinds of years with us, and then you going to fall
off and then you going to start trying to go after somebody.
No, you're going to be done. It's not going to happen.
Because here's the thing, if you read scripts, you understand God
deals with people in sin based upon what they know.
How can Moses hit rock twice and can't get into promised land?
How can Adam, who's never born to eat a fruit and bring sin
into the whole Dang planet? It's because they've been with
the Lord. Thank you so much for listening
