1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,560 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:06,920 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:18,320 Now enjoy this message. I've been, you know, listening 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:29,200 and watching some things, and I've been around a while and 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,440 I've seen a lot of things happen and a lot of people come and go 6 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,480 and I want to just do a little teaching tonight. 7 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,520 You know, I feel like that, especially in the rhyme of 8 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:57,000 circles, that I have the right to to speak with a voice and 9 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,319 warning. And I guess if you want to title 10 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,520 this, just call it, don't let anyone fool you. 11 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,480 Now we're living in a very unrestful time. 12 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,440 I mean economics, politically, militarily. 13 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,880 I mean, everything is just seem to be topsy turvy and there are 14 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,040 many voices that are trying to tell you what to believe. 15 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,440 Even in the Christian circles, even in even in charismatic 16 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,840 Pentecostal circles, we're living in an age when there's a 17 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,720 lot of spiritual activity going on and see what a lot of people 18 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,120 don't realize the the devil's world. 19 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,240 That's a that's a spiritual world. 20 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,120 And there's the Christian world is a spiritual world, and many 21 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:02,040 people don't recognize that. And the devil was kicked out of 22 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,920 heaven. He was an Archangel, probably in 23 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,000 charge of music. And you can go read there in 24 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,880 Isaiah where he said he saw him falling from heaven. 25 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,880 He he took a third of the angels. 26 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,760 They formed a coup and they were going to overthrow God. 27 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:24,200 And it's sort of dumb, but but the devil's dumb. 28 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280 So he took a third of the angels with him and they all got kicked 29 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,200 out of heaven. So that means that there's two 30 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,800 angels left for every one of his hello. 31 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:48,600 You know as Bible believing Christians we need to check the 32 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:55,960 sources when we hear something we could be and and I've seen 33 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,520 and through the years. I mean I grew up and I was born 34 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,240 one Sunday and then my dad's church the next Sunday about 20 35 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,160 years ago. But no, I was born in September 36 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,480 the 3rd, 1939. That's the that's the day that 37 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,000 England declared war on Germany. My dad told me that I went and 38 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,160 looked it up and it's it is. That's it, you know? 39 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,480 And I was in his church the next Sunday. 40 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,480 And I've seen stuff through the years growing up in in spiritual 41 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:30,360 circles in Christendom, and I've seen people taking advantage of 42 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,520 and all sorts of things and and and all sorts of doctrines. 43 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,880 In fact, we've had through the years, especially in in recent 44 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,360 years. Some year we had Shepherd Ship 45 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,640 and we had all kinds of stuff that actually started out, the 46 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,400 people that did it. But then it turned bad. 47 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,560 Mark, I mean, Matthew 24, four. Now you stay with me because 48 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280 I'm, I'm, I'm just going, I'm going to talk to you tonight. 49 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,920 It may not be exciting, but if you'll listen I think you'll get 50 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,800 a hold of something. And Jesus answered them and said 51 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,160 to them take heed that no one deceive you. 52 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,800 The NL that's King New King James. 53 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,680 The NLT says don't let anyone mislead you. 54 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,920 The original Living Bible said Jesus said don't let anyone fool 55 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,560 you. The enemy is using people to say 56 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,600 things and design things to deceive, get people to go go 57 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,000 astray. Even even the Apostle Peter said 58 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,800 in Second Peter 2 But there were all there were also false 59 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,240 prophets in in Israel. Just as there will be false 60 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,720 prophets or false teachers among you, they will cleverly teach 61 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120 destructive heresies, even denying the master who brought 62 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760 them in this way. They will bring sudden 63 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,160 destruction on themselves. Many will follow their evil 64 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,920 teaching and save them immorality. 65 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,480 And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be 66 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,120 slandered in their greed. They will make up clever lies to 67 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,840 get a hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, 68 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:27,000 and their destruction will be will will not be delayed. 69 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Now even Peter said that there were false teachers there in 70 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,480 Israel and then he goes on and say that they're going to be 71 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960 here. I have seen some of those and 72 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,200 just because something looks good and sounds good and has 73 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,680 some scripture behind it, check it out to make sure that they're 74 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,480 not taking a scripture out of context. 75 00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:02,400 So much has been been taken out of context and they, and I'm 76 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,520 sorry to say, but many, and I get disgusted sometimes with 77 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200 Christian television. I'm on it, but I'm on Daystar. 78 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,800 But had some of these things in these these gimmicks that these 79 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,200 people have, I better go on and shut up. 80 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,440 But that's what I'm talking about. 81 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,520 And many people are being deceived. 82 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,680 I had just gotten out of the Army in 1965. 83 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,720 If you don't know it, Vietnam started right there, around 63 84 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,440 in fact. I I did. 85 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,040 I worked in Army Security Agency. 86 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,280 I did never went to Nam. I was watching everything that 87 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:46,880 moved in China and so forth. And I just got now I just got 88 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,800 out of the service myself and I heard this guy say on the radio 89 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,840 and if and I just got me pastor he he was army. 90 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,440 He knows what I'm talking about. You're a little rough around the 91 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,520 edges when you first get out because if you're not if you're 92 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,760 not tough enough and strong enough you don't make it. 93 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:14,240 But and he may and he said this I got so mad I was driving in my 94 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,720 car and I heard him say, oh the Lord told me right now there's 95 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,400 there is if you will, a lot of your mother's your son's in 96 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,920 Vietnam. If you'll send $25 I'll pray and 97 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:41,720 guarantee that he'll come home. I I happen to know one of the 98 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:48,720 guys that worked in that area with him in in that in an area, 99 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,160 and I happen to know he got $1,000,000 off of that radio 100 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,520 broadcast. Now I'm talking about people 101 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,840 deceiving you. People were deceived because of 102 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280 that. People are being deceived today. 103 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Now, you know the devil is offering all kinds of things to 104 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,160 lead God's people astray. That's what he hates God. 105 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,480 He hates anything to do with God. 106 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,720 He raps songs with words of doubt and unbelief that are 107 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,840 catchy tunes that Christians begin to get a hold of. 108 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,520 I mean, we sing a lot. We sing a lot of the songs, but 109 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,680 Anthony and them guys, they change a lot of the words in 110 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:54,920 some of the songs. You see, if we're going to walk, 111 00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:01,600 work, walk in victory that we talk about, we got to know the 112 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,520 truth of God's word. I'm just going to talk to you 113 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,240 out of my heart tonight. I can preach if I need to, but 114 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,760 God's been dealing with me about some of this stuff because I've 115 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,080 seen I'm seeing too many people taking being taken advantage of 116 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640 and they think it's God, but it ain't. 117 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,280 And sorry if it isn't, maybe I should say, but that's what we 118 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520 say where I grew up. It's hard for me not to say it. 119 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,080 In Matthew 24, four through 11, Jesus told them don't let anyone 120 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,120 mislead you, for many will come in my name claiming I am the 121 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Messiah. They will deceive many and you 122 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040 will hear wars and threats of wars, but don't panic. 123 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,720 Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow 124 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,120 immediately. Nation will go to war against 125 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200 nation, Kingdom against Kingdom. There will be phantoms and 126 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,040 earthquakes in many parts of the world. 127 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,160 But all of this is only the first of the birth pains with 128 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,680 more to come then you and you'll be arrested and persecuted and 129 00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:13,840 many of them were in that day and many people that you don't 130 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,200 realize it in other countries because of their Christianity, 131 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,560 are being arrested and killed and persecuted right now. 132 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,560 Even some of our own missionaries that that are in 133 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,640 the charismatic circles have faced these things. 134 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,320 You'll be hated all over the world because you're not my 135 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,760 followers right now. If you start talking about God 136 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,880 around in certain areas, people will come at you like you like 137 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,640 you don't you don't. You don't want anybody come in 138 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,120 contact with that. Some people have it. 139 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,680 It's they. That's just the way it is and 140 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,400 this is the end time. And it goes on to say many false 141 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880 prophets will appear and deceive many people. 142 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,040 Skip down to full verse 24. Now that's that wizard that ends 143 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,840 at 11 for false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and 144 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,680 form great signs and munders. So don't don't be deceived if 145 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:27,240 possible. Even God Chosen ones four times. 146 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Verse 451124 Jesus Is this Jesus talking? 147 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800 He said Don't be fooled or deceived. 148 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,240 Notice the saying. He said there'd be wars and 149 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,800 famines and earthquakes and pestilence or epidemics. 150 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:49,360 And you know, there are people that claiming that they got this 151 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:56,120 revelation from God and it may be and it may not be. 152 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,960 Check it out. Well, we're not supposed to 153 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,440 judge. The Bible tells us to judge 154 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,600 prophecy. Come on now. 155 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,120 So I said, well, bro, so I said I don't care who said it. 156 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,560 And you can tell them to come see me. 157 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,080 I don't care. I'm 84. 158 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480 I'll say what I want to say. If they don't like it, there's a 159 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,280 door. That's me. 160 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,960 Earl was telling you that and he'll tell you I'm. 161 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,720 I've been that way the whole time. 162 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,920 I'm me. I'm real. 163 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,640 I'm no. I don't put on no false fronts. 164 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600 I mean, I don't have to have a special seat. 165 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,040 I try to slip into a place and sit in the back. 166 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,240 So then just and they'll, somebody will see them there and 167 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,520 they'll have to escort me to the front. 168 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360 I I don't have to have no front seat. 169 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,280 But, man, sometimes people come in there to some of our 170 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,800 conferences and oh, where's my now? 171 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,840 I'll need a special parking place and I'll need a special 172 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,880 place to sit. I said park wherever you can 173 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:12,920 find a place and sit wherever you want to sit, you know, come 174 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,440 on now, I'm talking about the Christian world that we're in 175 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,720 today. I'm not trying to be negative, 176 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,320 but I'm trying to warn us. God's been dealing with me about 177 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,120 this and I decided that, OK, I'll start saying it, you know, 178 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,440 you know, the devil wants to deceive. 179 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:45,400 He hates anything that has to do with God, and he will do 180 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,560 everything he can to stop anything that has to do with 181 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,280 God. We all know that we quoted all 182 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,120 the time, John 1010. Still he comes to steal, kill 183 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:02,240 and destroy. And you know Paul writing to 184 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,760 Timothy in First Timothy 41. I'm reading some of this from 185 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,480 the NLT. Now, the Holy Spirit tells us 186 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,720 clearly that these last times, in these last times, some will 187 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,800 turn away from the true faith. They will follow deceptive 188 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,800 spirits and teachings that come from demons. 189 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,880 I've been around a long time and I've seen all kinds of stuff. 190 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,240 I mean back in the 50s this guy was going all over the country 191 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,680 with a tent and he had, he had this cross that would appear in 192 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,560 his forehead and blood would drip from it and everybody was 193 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,520 following him and and I mean we, I was in Bible school and but we 194 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,240 all went there. A bunch of us went there. 195 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,160 You know, I mean he he was, he was he was a Pentecostal and man 196 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,000 people are fucking to it like crazy and not some of the guys 197 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520 that we went went there and all they were talking about. 198 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:08,160 I said that's that's not right. I said that's not in the Bible. 199 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,160 Oh, Hagan, you just. Of course I had an advantage. 200 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,400 I had a dad that's that that's very, very far as I'm concerned. 201 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,680 He's the smartest man that I I know on Bible subjects and if 202 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,360 you, if you if you're going to like one man they told, they 203 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,600 told him, well you're going to because of this guy. 204 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,000 He he was going in this denomination. 205 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760 He was going to have to. They said, well, we'll bring the 206 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,160 charge, but you're going to have, you're going to have to 207 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520 face him. He said, Oh my Lord, he said 208 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,080 that he can quote more, more, more of the Bible than I could 209 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,920 than I've read. And he could and he could. 210 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400 When he quit, Lord told him quit. 211 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,400 He'd read. He'd read the New Testament 3 212 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,440 through 150 times and Lord told him that you're going to get 213 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,400 prideful. Don't do that. 214 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,960 So he he quit keeping the count. I don't know how many times he 215 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:11,680 read the New Testament through, but is you see here anything 216 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,120 that has to do with God? And so they were all, I mean 217 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,520 everybody was all about it. And the reason I'm talking about 218 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,520 this is because I have lived long enough to see this stuff 219 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,000 start to come back around some stuff. 220 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,440 I mean, it hadn't been very long ago. 221 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,200 People was having gold dust and and and all kinds of stuff and 222 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,240 people are flocking to it. Hey, don't be deceived. 223 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,320 How many of you read the Bible through you've read the entire 224 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,360 Bible. Did you ever see anywhere in 225 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,000 there where anybody had gold dust appearing in this, in this? 226 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,800 Did you see anywhere in there where anybody had oil running 227 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,600 out of their hands. But those things have happened, 228 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:07,040 and many people were deceived because of that and lost out 229 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:15,599 with God. See, deception is the way the 230 00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:23,800 devil operates. How was Eve and Adam? 231 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,560 How? What caused them to transgress 232 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,840 in the Garden of Eden? Deception. 233 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,200 That's the devil's way. And he comes in and he said to 234 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:45,200 him, oh, surely nothing going to happen if you eat in this tree 235 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:55,000 and and weary we're warned repeatedly in the epistles about 236 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:02,560 being stuffed. And you know, Romans 16, you 237 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,720 start reading it and it's and and going down to there and all 238 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,400 it is is Paul greeting people and greet this one and greet 239 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,280 that one and so forth. All right, anybody read it 240 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,520 there? And a lot of times we skip read 241 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080 because we realize he's just greeting. 242 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,160 But down in verses 17 and 18, he gets down to some real stuff. 243 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,040 And Romans 1617 and 18. And I won't. 244 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,720 I'm reading it from the NLT because it's a little more. 245 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:40,880 And now I make one more appeal. My dear brothers, evidently he 246 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,760 has appealed to them before. On this subject, I make one more 247 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,280 appeal. Watch out for people who cause 248 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,400 divisions and upset people's face by teaching things contrary 249 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,480 to what you've been taught. Stay away from them. 250 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:59,080 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord, but they're 251 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,440 serving their own personal, personal interests by smooth 252 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,840 talk, glowing words that deceive innocent people. 253 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:13,160 That is so good. If you know the word, it don't 254 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:22,520 matter what somebody says. You know I, my dad and I were we 255 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,800 we we we were there at the inception of TBN. 256 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,720 We have to get started and so forth there in California. 257 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,080 Lynette's can tell you we we were there and helping them help 258 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,520 that get started. And but then a lot of people get 259 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,720 on there and you know they were they were talking about this and 260 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,600 that and the other and they're nowhere to be found today. 261 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,160 And a lot of people followed off after them and got Plumb out 262 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,560 from the things of God. Now, no, this is this is not 263 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,960 shouting material but this is material that if you will listen 264 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,040 to what I'm saying and then think when you hear something, 265 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,680 think scripturally not with your emotions. 266 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,800 There you go. Yeah. 267 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,160 Come on now. I've got 22 hours of psychology 268 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:28,080 and my degree, and I happen to know that people can 269 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:34,120 psychologically get you to they can prey on your side, on your 270 00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:37,200 psychic and get you to give money and all kinds of things. 271 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,560 That's why you you've never heard my dad. 272 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,960 You've never heard me, Craig, Any of us, ever get up and make 273 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,080 and don't. I don't even preach A sermon 274 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,000 about giving. Ain't no use in it, far as I'm 275 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,480 concerned. I see people take 20 minutes to 276 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,800 take the offering and get up and preach an hour. 277 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:04,080 Well, that's stupid. Somebody said, well, why don't 278 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,200 you say it? I mean, you shouldn't say that. 279 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,000 Well, I think it is. That's my personal opinion. 280 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:20,160 If you don't like it, EXIT. These guys that have been in 281 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,160 Raymond heard me say it before, But you know what? 282 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:30,000 It's time that somebody had guts enough to stand up and talk 283 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,480 about some of these things that's happening in the 284 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,040 Christian world right now. God's been dealing with me about 285 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,920 it and I decided, hey, I'm the head. 286 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,560 I'm the head of Raymond and we got Raima's a word. 287 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,200 Raima's a place and Raima's a worldwide family. 288 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,520 And as the head of Raima, I I feel and all y'all are part of 289 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Raima because y'all are hooked in with us. 290 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,000 So your pastor it's then if I'm the head then it's my it's my 291 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,960 duty to speak to you about these things so that you will not be 292 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,760 deceived. Thank you, Ephesians 5-6 says. 293 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:19,120 Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse sin, for the anger of 294 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,600 God will fall on all who disobey him. 295 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:31,240 I've been highly upset over the last about the last 10 years 296 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:41,160 over even ministers that are saying it's all right to drink 297 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,040 and because of grace. And grace is a great subject, 298 00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:00,320 but it has been pushed to the extent over here on the wrong 299 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,720 side of grace. You know, people talk about 300 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,880 grace well in one place and in your testament, the Holy Spirit 301 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,360 is said, the spirit is called the spirit of grace. 302 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,640 They're actually, there's about 17 different times in there that 303 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,840 that the word grace is used. And it's not in any way the way 304 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,920 they're that it's been talked about. 305 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,280 Now it'll come back around actually, and people are saying 306 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,800 it's all right to do whatever you want to do because you're 307 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,520 under grace. Well, it's not. 308 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,800 Some of y'all may have heard that because that was just out 309 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,480 just a few years back. And for some of you that are not 310 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,840 old enough, that's nothing more than the doctrine of one saved, 311 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,000 always saved that came around back that was really strong back 312 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,240 in the 50s when I was a teenager growing. 313 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,600 I graduated high school 58, so that tells you my where I come 314 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,440 from that that once saved, always saved. 315 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,320 That was the big topic back in those days. 316 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,640 Once you're saved, you're saved. Let me tell you what, If a 317 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,200 person gets born again and truly saved, there is a change in 318 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,800 their lives and they not. They're not living and doing the 319 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:28,920 things they were doing before, but yet people are being 320 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:33,160 deceived. Today they go to one of these 321 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,040 churches, and sometimes it's just a video church. 322 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,320 And I'm sorry to say, but the guy they listened to went into a 323 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,120 room and recorded it, and he's not even preaching it to an 324 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:52,840 audience. Come on now. 325 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,400 And I happen to know that sometimes they will speak to a 326 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,800 audience of young people, middle-aged people and older 327 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,560 people. They will treat their message 328 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,200 and they will change this and change that and change something 329 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,000 else. And so not to offend somebody. 330 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,120 The gospel is the gospel. If it offends you, then that 331 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,360 means that you are not where you should be with God. 332 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:35,680 If preaching the Bible, if talking about hell, talking 333 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,120 about sin, come on, now I'm walking where angels fear the 334 00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:45,080 tread, but I'm doing it anyway because I am tired of people 335 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,040 getting deceived. I know for I know personally 336 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,880 that what they this couple told the pastor. 337 00:25:53,880 --> 00:26:00,440 So they were on the team, you know, the team up on the 338 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,160 platform and said, oh, we're under grace, so it's all right 339 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,960 if we live together and not married. 340 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,640 I don't find that in the word of God. 341 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,840 Anybody find that in the Bible that you can live together out 342 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,600 of wedlock? Come on now, you know, Hey, some 343 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,400 of you are with me. Some of you are looking at me 344 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,440 like, where are you coming from? Well, I'm coming from the fact 345 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:34,400 that I'm reading scripture to substantiate what I'm talking 346 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,880 about. I'm not just telling you 347 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,880 something. I'm thinking. 348 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,080 I'm telling you what what the Bible says. 349 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,720 You know Colossians 214. I mean 24 says 24. 350 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,080 I'm telling you this so no one will deceive you with well 351 00:26:54,080 --> 00:27:00,640 crafted arguments I've seen. I'll tell you that King James 352 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,480 says now this I say, lest anyone should deceive you with 353 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:14,680 persuasive words. Some people are great orators. 354 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,800 They can, you know, and that's the problem with some of these 355 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,960 churches today. And I'm sorry, I may, I may get 356 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,600 letters, I may get phone calls or whatever, but that's I I 357 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,760 don't worry about it. But they're preaching to the 358 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,400 people. They're giving them a feel good 359 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,080 sermon and they won't go out of church. 360 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,640 I've done my duty. I went to church and there is no 361 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,000 life change. If there's no life change, then 362 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,840 there's no conversion. Hello. 363 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,680 You know, Second Thessalonians 2-3. 364 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,080 Anybody get anything out of this? 365 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:12,680 Don't be fooled by what they say for that day, for that day will 366 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,160 not come until the great rebellion against God and the 367 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,760 man of loudness revealed no one, the one who brings destruction. 368 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:30,920 Watch, Paul said here. Watch that words don't are not 369 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:39,640 being able to deceive you. We many times in the natural if 370 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,280 we're not careful, something that is said will appeal to our 371 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:51,240 natural senses. It sounds good and feels good, 372 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,600 but it isn't in line with the word of God. 373 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:06,000 The Bible says that even in the last days, Christians will be 374 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,640 deceived. People are saying, oh, I don't 375 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,920 need to read the Bible anymore. You know, I've been saved and 376 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,720 and I I mean, it's being said right now. 377 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,720 I've heard it. It's OK if we don't go to church 378 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,520 and just watch it on the live stream. 379 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,880 That's all right. Well, it's OK if you can't get 380 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,280 there, but what does the Bible say? 381 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,800 Hebrews 1025, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves 382 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,880 together, and was in the matter of some, but exhorting one 383 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,960 another. So the much more as you see the 384 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,640 day approaching Hebrews 1025 in NLT. 385 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,240 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people 386 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,840 do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of 387 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,880 his returning is drawing nigh there. 388 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,720 You get something when you come together in the local body of 389 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:17,400 church that you can't get watching that screen number one, 390 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,680 you there drinking your coffee with your house shoes on and 391 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:27,360 your and your pajamas on, and you're you're halfway listening 392 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,000 and halfway not. But I've done my duty. 393 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,240 I went to church. There are many churches and I'm 394 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,960 now I'm going to really get strong. 395 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,080 There are many even charismatic churches that are have trying to 396 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,280 have church without the power of God. 397 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,680 What am I talking about? I know exactly some churches 398 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,600 that say we have no demonstration of any kind in the 399 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:04,320 service. What we saw during worship while 400 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,000 ago, people down here, people over here, people and people 401 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:19,400 jumping, that is not allowed. And they say if you would like 402 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,400 to talk about a better life at the end of the service where 403 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,280 people will be here and you can come and talk with them about a 404 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,720 better life. And if you would like to have a 405 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:39,960 little more information about some another experience back 406 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,240 here in this room, back here in the back part of the campus, we 407 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,240 have one night a week, we have an hour meeting and they'll 408 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:58,240 explain to you about a deeper experience that don't cut it. 409 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,360 As far as I'm concerned. If you come to Raven Bible 410 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,720 Church, I will give an altar call. 411 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,400 I will ask for people that if they like, need to accept Jesus 412 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,840 Christ or they need to rededicate their life to God, 413 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,520 I'll ask them to raise their hand and come forward so I can 414 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,160 pray with them. I also will give a call if you'd 415 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,480 like to receive the Holy Spirit. According to what the Bible says 416 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,280 in Acts chapter 2, verse #4, they were all filled with the 417 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,920 Holy Spirit, began to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them 418 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,520 utterance. We have many of our charismatic 419 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,760 church churches today that are not allowing any of that to 420 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,880 happen. There there's if somebody gets 421 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,720 up at the in a demonstration, the ushers will usher them out. 422 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:55,600 I know that to be a fact, and yet the bill is full. 423 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:00,240 Come on, Deception as far as I'm concerned. 424 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:02,760 Come on. There you go. 425 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,240 Come on. I don't know what y'all think 426 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,880 about this, but I'm doing what I felt like God told me to do. 427 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,720 Having church with no call for salvation, no moving of the 428 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,480 Spirit of any kind or demonstration of the Spirit is 429 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:27,080 not in line with what the Paul taught is not in line with the 430 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,520 book of Acts. And do you realize that that's 431 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,320 the Acts of the early church? Do you realize that the Acts did 432 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:44,560 not end? And chapter 28, We are still 433 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:51,200 living the Book of Acts and what was happening in among them 434 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:58,960 should be happening with us, Paul said. 435 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:06,440 You come together, you have a Psalm, you have testimony, you 436 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,800 have a prophecy. You have in tongues 437 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,560 interpretations I give I, I I speak out prophecy all the time 438 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,880 while I'm preaching. Sometimes I don't ever tell 439 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:16,880 nobody. It's it. 440 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,520 If somebody studied the word, they can tell when it's when, 441 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,520 it's when it's coming out of my spirit and the Spirit gives it 442 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,840 to you. See, God wants to move with His 443 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:36,600 Spirit in power and give you understanding. 444 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,120 In fact, if you read the Bible, it says that if you will study 445 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,120 the word, he will reveal things to you. 446 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:52,480 Anybody ever read that in there? We are living in what they call 447 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,800 and when I was in Bible school I was taught this. 448 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:02,800 I went to Southwestern Assembly God University in Waxahachie, TX 449 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,240 and we had a different name then, but it's the same school 450 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,240 You ever noticed a lot of these schools changing their names. 451 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,640 But we are living in what we call the age of the Holy Spirit. 452 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,960 It's the time that the Holy Spirit is being poured out. 453 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:36,520 You know, I you read Acts 2 and Peter talking in the last days. 454 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,560 God said I'll pour out my spirit upon all people and he goes on 455 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,080 and talks all about it. It's true. 456 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:56,240 Today we need to have Pentecost. When they were filled with the 457 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:59,640 Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, people heard them 458 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:03,040 talking in tongues. Actually, they thought they were 459 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,080 drunk. And Peter said they're not drunk 460 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:10,920 as wine as you suppose they had. They were drunk on the Holy 461 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:19,080 Spirit. Nowhere in the Bible does it say 462 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:28,160 that the Holy Spirit has ceased. Now, a lot of people have said 463 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,720 that. A lot of denomination, a lot of 464 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:33,280 churches, and a lot of people say, oh, that happened in Bible 465 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,440 days. We are still in Bible days. 466 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,200 Hallelujah. And what happened then should be 467 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:50,440 happening now. I went to some churches just to 468 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,680 see, and in the back they didn't know who it was. 469 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,840 I set out. My wife will tell you. 470 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,880 We went. We were appalled. 471 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,000 It was supposed to be a Pentecostal church. 472 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:16,480 I left that grieved in my spirit because what they say on their 473 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,480 sign and in their statements of faith is not happening in their 474 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:29,960 building. We have come to the point and I 475 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,200 got to quit. It's too long I've come. 476 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:38,440 We've come to the point that too many people are ascribing to a 477 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,800 code written but not demonstrated. 478 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:55,760 The Holy Spirit should be moving in our midst, and we're going to 479 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,400 have a healing line here on Friday night. 480 00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:01,480 And one of the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation, 481 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:11,720 which is the gifts of healings. You know, we all read Mark 16. 482 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,800 These meritless signs will accomplish accompany the 483 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,600 believer. We need to not just embrace them 484 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,600 with our thoughts and with our speech. 485 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,360 We need to embrace them with our actions. 486 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:34,280 You know, John Ray, in the layman's commentary on the Holy 487 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,760 Spirit, said this. Every generation must be 488 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,600 convinced of the reality of God that he is not dead, but living 489 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,080 and loving. All Christians and missionaries 490 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,640 and evangelists and ministers need the supernatural equipment 491 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,920 to do their part in proclaiming Christ to the lost and dying 492 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,720 world. But not only do they need it, 493 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,360 that and I got a sermon. I preach sometimes. 494 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,040 Every member, a minister, everybody, everybody that that's 495 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,120 born again. Everybody's filled with the 496 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,000 spirits you have. You have a place to minister. 497 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,080 It may not be on a platform, but wherever you're at, come on now. 498 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,240 Through the years there have been many moves of the Spirit 499 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:29,080 and I'm just going to go back They the Pentecostal Revival. 500 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:36,680 It came with Azusa St. The healing revival has started 501 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:43,200 1947 through 1958. I my dad was a part of it. 502 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,400 I grew up there. I I I knew all of those guys. 503 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,040 I knew oral. I knew WB Grant. 504 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,360 I knew Jack Cole. I knew a A Allen personally. 505 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,120 I went to. I went to Scandalville Bible 506 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,440 Academy with Paul Allen, Allen's son. 507 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,120 You name all of those evangelists. 508 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,480 And you know what? Most of them got off because 509 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:21,920 they got hunting money. Come on now, Oral Roberts. 510 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,280 Kenneth Hagin, 2, and Osborne and only three of that group 511 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,440 that I know. And then I don't know why they 512 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680 all ended up in Tulsa. All of them. 513 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,040 All three of them that continued their ministry. 514 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,720 Out of all of those, I got the magazines, the Boise Heating 515 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:40,560 magazine. Gordon Lindsay was the head of. 516 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,440 I know I knew Gordon Lindsay personally myself. 517 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,840 Dad was there with him the charismatic renewal that 518 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,560 started. I was AI would have had the 519 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,960 privilege of being a part of that full gospel of businessmen 520 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,440 started it. People were getting the Holy 521 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,480 Ghost in the elevators in in in restaurants in the halls of of 522 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,640 of of hotels and resorts. They have these huge conventions 523 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,040 And I was in Phoenix. We you remember this on way in 524 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,520 Phoenix AZ. Now Dimas Securin was the head 525 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,880 of that and he dimas like that. He said, Now, Brother Hagan, 526 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,360 these other guys can teach faith, but nobody teaches the 527 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,640 Holy Spirit like you do. You're going to be the Holy 528 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Spirit. Teacher, we were in Phoenix, AZ. 529 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,680 There's a room, 400 people. I believe it was in that room. 530 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Daddy taught on the Holy Spirit. He stood up and he said receive 531 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,520 the Holy Spirit. And 400 people started speaking 532 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,800 in tongues. I saw it. 533 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,120 Hello. That was the healing revival. 534 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,400 Now why am I talking about it? Then the teaching revival came. 535 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,360 All these people got the Holy Spirit. 536 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,840 They didn't know what to do. And that's why the teaching 537 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,200 revival came. And then we had a Holy Ghost and 538 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,840 Joy revival for a while. See, the Holy Spirit moves in 539 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,520 many different ways. I thank God I had the privilege 540 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:09,160 of being in every one of these except the Azusa Street I 541 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,480 preached the sermon back into. I preached the mess of Ceres. 542 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,320 It's out there in the book called God's Greater Glory. 543 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,920 I guess they got it on C DS I think on what they haven't put 544 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,120 it on that MP whatever it is anymore. 545 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:29,000 But I we This is why I'm talking about this because there is 546 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,760 going to be a Last Day revival and it's going to include all of 547 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,440 these revivals put together. And I don't want people to be 548 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,640 deceived thinking that they're they're in in where they're 549 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,920 supposed to be. You know, we need to realize and 550 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:53,680 sound the alarm that we we belong to God and we need to 551 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,400 realize that greater is he that's in US and he that's in 552 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,440 the world, He's there. It's going to come against us. 553 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,800 He's coming against us. We are all. 554 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:10,040 This is also known the age of the church, and God is building 555 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,800 the church. He's building the church, which 556 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,600 is the Ecclesias worldwide. Everybody that's born again, but 557 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,200 he's also building local, local congregations. 558 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:28,160 And you see he said in he said, now I say to you, you're Peter, 559 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,720 which means rocking up on her up on this rock. 560 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,600 I will build my church and all the powers of hell. 561 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,600 Not the car, Peter. People said, oh, they're going, 562 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,520 he's going to build it. No, he's using Peter as an 563 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,720 example, a person the church is being built by you. 564 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,480 What the word of God says what don't you know that you're 565 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,360 living Tabernacle. You're living. 566 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,960 You're living Tabernacle, the Holy Spirit. 567 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,560 He's ultimately building the church, and the enemy is doing 568 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:04,120 everything within his power right now to come against the 569 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,280 church and us that are born again, spirit filled. 570 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:14,360 And he's trying to deceive us so that this thing can be shut 571 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,000 down. They're trying to pass 572 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,520 legislation to stop it. Let me tell you something. 573 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,600 The church is a mighty mood and force, and nothing is going to 574 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,120 stop it. We cannot afford to be deceived 575 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,800 by some of these preachers. And don't be deceived by some of 576 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,800 these people that are trying to take use scriptures to take 577 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,640 offerings. It's not only have anything to 578 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,480 do with offering, It's all right to use the scripture for 579 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,600 offering, but make sure that it's talking about an offering. 580 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,600 Come on. And Luke 18, eight. 581 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,160 And I want to close this down. I've been going way too long. 582 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,000 I normally don't go this long. But listen, I'm just. 583 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,120 I'm not preaching the sermon. I'm talking to you out of my 584 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,680 heart. I'm just talking to you. 585 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:10,080 Tonight, When the Son of Man returns, how many will he find 586 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:18,160 on Earth who have faith? Far as I'm concerned, they're 587 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:29,520 going to be faith. And I got Craig and Denise and 588 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,000 my boys. They say that face shield on top 589 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,360 of that building is still going to be spinning. 590 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,920 The devil tried to take it out, but now it's up there, bigger 591 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:47,160 and better than ever. You see when these difficult 592 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,280 days and times come and people are preaching stuff and you may 593 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,720 even have some of your friends that try to convince you 594 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:57,320 otherwise, you're going to have to make up your mind what you 595 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:06,160 believe and stand your ground. Some of you are going to have 596 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,440 listen in this last days. It's going to, the Bible says 597 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,880 it. Everybody's concerned about 598 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,200 what's happening. Hey, nothing is happening that 599 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,400 the Bible doesn't say it's already going to happen. 600 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,880 And we're going to have to make up our mind. 601 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,400 Whether we believe God, we're going to have to make up our 602 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,200 mind. And it's the Bible. 603 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,240 It's gone. And I'm going to preach it 604 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,120 whether they like it or not. And God made Adam and Eve and 605 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:40,920 not Steve and Jim. Come on now, you can get mad at 606 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,400 me if you want to, but now I'm telling you what the Bible said. 607 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,200 Go read. Go if you want to read. 608 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,480 If you really want to go, read the first chapter of Romans. 609 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,120 If you want to get into it, just read the first chapter of 610 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,520 Romans.
