Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. I've been, you know, listening
and watching some things, and I've been around a while and
I've seen a lot of things happen and a lot of people come and go
and I want to just do a little teaching tonight.
You know, I feel like that, especially in the rhyme of
circles, that I have the right to to speak with a voice and
warning. And I guess if you want to title
this, just call it, don't let anyone fool you.
Now we're living in a very unrestful time.
I mean economics, politically, militarily.
I mean, everything is just seem to be topsy turvy and there are
many voices that are trying to tell you what to believe.
Even in the Christian circles, even in even in charismatic
Pentecostal circles, we're living in an age when there's a
lot of spiritual activity going on and see what a lot of people
don't realize the the devil's world.
That's a that's a spiritual world.
And there's the Christian world is a spiritual world, and many
people don't recognize that. And the devil was kicked out of
heaven. He was an Archangel, probably in
charge of music. And you can go read there in
Isaiah where he said he saw him falling from heaven.
He he took a third of the angels.
They formed a coup and they were going to overthrow God.
And it's sort of dumb, but but the devil's dumb.
So he took a third of the angels with him and they all got kicked
out of heaven. So that means that there's two
angels left for every one of his hello.
You know as Bible believing Christians we need to check the
sources when we hear something we could be and and I've seen
and through the years. I mean I grew up and I was born
one Sunday and then my dad's church the next Sunday about 20
years ago. But no, I was born in September
the 3rd, 1939. That's the that's the day that
England declared war on Germany. My dad told me that I went and
looked it up and it's it is. That's it, you know?
And I was in his church the next Sunday.
And I've seen stuff through the years growing up in in spiritual
circles in Christendom, and I've seen people taking advantage of
and all sorts of things and and and all sorts of doctrines.
In fact, we've had through the years, especially in in recent
years. Some year we had Shepherd Ship
and we had all kinds of stuff that actually started out, the
people that did it. But then it turned bad.
Mark, I mean, Matthew 24, four. Now you stay with me because
I'm, I'm, I'm just going, I'm going to talk to you tonight.
It may not be exciting, but if you'll listen I think you'll get
a hold of something. And Jesus answered them and said
to them take heed that no one deceive you.
The NL that's King New King James.
The NLT says don't let anyone mislead you.
The original Living Bible said Jesus said don't let anyone fool
you. The enemy is using people to say
things and design things to deceive, get people to go go
astray. Even even the Apostle Peter said
in Second Peter 2 But there were all there were also false
prophets in in Israel. Just as there will be false
prophets or false teachers among you, they will cleverly teach
destructive heresies, even denying the master who brought
them in this way. They will bring sudden
destruction on themselves. Many will follow their evil
teaching and save them immorality.
And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be
slandered in their greed. They will make up clever lies to
get a hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago,
and their destruction will be will will not be delayed.
Now even Peter said that there were false teachers there in
Israel and then he goes on and say that they're going to be
here. I have seen some of those and
just because something looks good and sounds good and has
some scripture behind it, check it out to make sure that they're
not taking a scripture out of context.
So much has been been taken out of context and they, and I'm
sorry to say, but many, and I get disgusted sometimes with
Christian television. I'm on it, but I'm on Daystar.
But had some of these things in these these gimmicks that these
people have, I better go on and shut up.
But that's what I'm talking about.
And many people are being deceived.
I had just gotten out of the Army in 1965.
If you don't know it, Vietnam started right there, around 63
in fact. I I did.
I worked in Army Security Agency.
I did never went to Nam. I was watching everything that
moved in China and so forth. And I just got now I just got
out of the service myself and I heard this guy say on the radio
and if and I just got me pastor he he was army.
He knows what I'm talking about. You're a little rough around the
edges when you first get out because if you're not if you're
not tough enough and strong enough you don't make it.
But and he may and he said this I got so mad I was driving in my
car and I heard him say, oh the Lord told me right now there's
there is if you will, a lot of your mother's your son's in
Vietnam. If you'll send $25 I'll pray and
guarantee that he'll come home. I I happen to know one of the
guys that worked in that area with him in in that in an area,
and I happen to know he got $1,000,000 off of that radio
broadcast. Now I'm talking about people
deceiving you. People were deceived because of
that. People are being deceived today.
Now, you know the devil is offering all kinds of things to
lead God's people astray. That's what he hates God.
He hates anything to do with God.
He raps songs with words of doubt and unbelief that are
catchy tunes that Christians begin to get a hold of.
I mean, we sing a lot. We sing a lot of the songs, but
Anthony and them guys, they change a lot of the words in
some of the songs. You see, if we're going to walk,
work, walk in victory that we talk about, we got to know the
truth of God's word. I'm just going to talk to you
out of my heart tonight. I can preach if I need to, but
God's been dealing with me about some of this stuff because I've
seen I'm seeing too many people taking being taken advantage of
and they think it's God, but it ain't.
And sorry if it isn't, maybe I should say, but that's what we
say where I grew up. It's hard for me not to say it.
In Matthew 24, four through 11, Jesus told them don't let anyone
mislead you, for many will come in my name claiming I am the
Messiah. They will deceive many and you
will hear wars and threats of wars, but don't panic.
Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow
immediately. Nation will go to war against
nation, Kingdom against Kingdom. There will be phantoms and
earthquakes in many parts of the world.
But all of this is only the first of the birth pains with
more to come then you and you'll be arrested and persecuted and
many of them were in that day and many people that you don't
realize it in other countries because of their Christianity,
are being arrested and killed and persecuted right now.
Even some of our own missionaries that that are in
the charismatic circles have faced these things.
You'll be hated all over the world because you're not my
followers right now. If you start talking about God
around in certain areas, people will come at you like you like
you don't you don't. You don't want anybody come in
contact with that. Some people have it.
It's they. That's just the way it is and
this is the end time. And it goes on to say many false
prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Skip down to full verse 24. Now that's that wizard that ends
at 11 for false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and
form great signs and munders. So don't don't be deceived if
possible. Even God Chosen ones four times.
Verse 451124 Jesus Is this Jesus talking?
He said Don't be fooled or deceived.
Notice the saying. He said there'd be wars and
famines and earthquakes and pestilence or epidemics.
And you know, there are people that claiming that they got this
revelation from God and it may be and it may not be.
Check it out. Well, we're not supposed to
judge. The Bible tells us to judge
prophecy. Come on now.
So I said, well, bro, so I said I don't care who said it.
And you can tell them to come see me.
I don't care. I'm 84.
I'll say what I want to say. If they don't like it, there's a
door. That's me.
Earl was telling you that and he'll tell you I'm.
I've been that way the whole time.
I'm me. I'm real.
I'm no. I don't put on no false fronts.
I mean, I don't have to have a special seat.
I try to slip into a place and sit in the back.
So then just and they'll, somebody will see them there and
they'll have to escort me to the front.
I I don't have to have no front seat.
But, man, sometimes people come in there to some of our
conferences and oh, where's my now?
I'll need a special parking place and I'll need a special
place to sit. I said park wherever you can
find a place and sit wherever you want to sit, you know, come
on now, I'm talking about the Christian world that we're in
today. I'm not trying to be negative,
but I'm trying to warn us. God's been dealing with me about
this and I decided that, OK, I'll start saying it, you know,
you know, the devil wants to deceive.
He hates anything that has to do with God, and he will do
everything he can to stop anything that has to do with
God. We all know that we quoted all
the time, John 1010. Still he comes to steal, kill
and destroy. And you know Paul writing to
Timothy in First Timothy 41. I'm reading some of this from
the NLT. Now, the Holy Spirit tells us
clearly that these last times, in these last times, some will
turn away from the true faith. They will follow deceptive
spirits and teachings that come from demons.
I've been around a long time and I've seen all kinds of stuff.
I mean back in the 50s this guy was going all over the country
with a tent and he had, he had this cross that would appear in
his forehead and blood would drip from it and everybody was
following him and and I mean we, I was in Bible school and but we
all went there. A bunch of us went there.
You know, I mean he he was, he was he was a Pentecostal and man
people are fucking to it like crazy and not some of the guys
that we went went there and all they were talking about.
I said that's that's not right. I said that's not in the Bible.
Oh, Hagan, you just. Of course I had an advantage.
I had a dad that's that that's very, very far as I'm concerned.
He's the smartest man that I I know on Bible subjects and if
you, if you if you're going to like one man they told, they
told him, well you're going to because of this guy.
He he was going in this denomination.
He was going to have to. They said, well, we'll bring the
charge, but you're going to have, you're going to have to
face him. He said, Oh my Lord, he said
that he can quote more, more, more of the Bible than I could
than I've read. And he could and he could.
When he quit, Lord told him quit.
He'd read. He'd read the New Testament 3
through 150 times and Lord told him that you're going to get
prideful. Don't do that.
So he he quit keeping the count. I don't know how many times he
read the New Testament through, but is you see here anything
that has to do with God? And so they were all, I mean
everybody was all about it. And the reason I'm talking about
this is because I have lived long enough to see this stuff
start to come back around some stuff.
I mean, it hadn't been very long ago.
People was having gold dust and and and all kinds of stuff and
people are flocking to it. Hey, don't be deceived.
How many of you read the Bible through you've read the entire
Bible. Did you ever see anywhere in
there where anybody had gold dust appearing in this, in this?
Did you see anywhere in there where anybody had oil running
out of their hands. But those things have happened,
and many people were deceived because of that and lost out
with God. See, deception is the way the
devil operates. How was Eve and Adam?
How? What caused them to transgress
in the Garden of Eden? Deception.
That's the devil's way. And he comes in and he said to
him, oh, surely nothing going to happen if you eat in this tree
and and weary we're warned repeatedly in the epistles about
being stuffed. And you know, Romans 16, you
start reading it and it's and and going down to there and all
it is is Paul greeting people and greet this one and greet
that one and so forth. All right, anybody read it
there? And a lot of times we skip read
because we realize he's just greeting.
But down in verses 17 and 18, he gets down to some real stuff.
And Romans 1617 and 18. And I won't.
I'm reading it from the NLT because it's a little more.
And now I make one more appeal. My dear brothers, evidently he
has appealed to them before. On this subject, I make one more
appeal. Watch out for people who cause
divisions and upset people's face by teaching things contrary
to what you've been taught. Stay away from them.
Such people are not serving Christ our Lord, but they're
serving their own personal, personal interests by smooth
talk, glowing words that deceive innocent people.
That is so good. If you know the word, it don't
matter what somebody says. You know I, my dad and I were we
we we we were there at the inception of TBN.
We have to get started and so forth there in California.
Lynette's can tell you we we were there and helping them help
that get started. And but then a lot of people get
on there and you know they were they were talking about this and
that and the other and they're nowhere to be found today.
And a lot of people followed off after them and got Plumb out
from the things of God. Now, no, this is this is not
shouting material but this is material that if you will listen
to what I'm saying and then think when you hear something,
think scripturally not with your emotions.
There you go. Yeah.
Come on now. I've got 22 hours of psychology
and my degree, and I happen to know that people can
psychologically get you to they can prey on your side, on your
psychic and get you to give money and all kinds of things.
That's why you you've never heard my dad.
You've never heard me, Craig, Any of us, ever get up and make
and don't. I don't even preach A sermon
about giving. Ain't no use in it, far as I'm
concerned. I see people take 20 minutes to
take the offering and get up and preach an hour.
Well, that's stupid. Somebody said, well, why don't
you say it? I mean, you shouldn't say that.
Well, I think it is. That's my personal opinion.
If you don't like it, EXIT. These guys that have been in
Raymond heard me say it before, But you know what?
It's time that somebody had guts enough to stand up and talk
about some of these things that's happening in the
Christian world right now. God's been dealing with me about
it and I decided, hey, I'm the head.
I'm the head of Raymond and we got Raima's a word.
Raima's a place and Raima's a worldwide family.
And as the head of Raima, I I feel and all y'all are part of
Raima because y'all are hooked in with us.
So your pastor it's then if I'm the head then it's my it's my
duty to speak to you about these things so that you will not be
deceived. Thank you, Ephesians 5-6 says.
Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse sin, for the anger of
God will fall on all who disobey him.
I've been highly upset over the last about the last 10 years
over even ministers that are saying it's all right to drink
and because of grace. And grace is a great subject,
but it has been pushed to the extent over here on the wrong
side of grace. You know, people talk about
grace well in one place and in your testament, the Holy Spirit
is said, the spirit is called the spirit of grace.
They're actually, there's about 17 different times in there that
that the word grace is used. And it's not in any way the way
they're that it's been talked about.
Now it'll come back around actually, and people are saying
it's all right to do whatever you want to do because you're
under grace. Well, it's not.
Some of y'all may have heard that because that was just out
just a few years back. And for some of you that are not
old enough, that's nothing more than the doctrine of one saved,
always saved that came around back that was really strong back
in the 50s when I was a teenager growing.
I graduated high school 58, so that tells you my where I come
from that that once saved, always saved.
That was the big topic back in those days.
Once you're saved, you're saved. Let me tell you what, If a
person gets born again and truly saved, there is a change in
their lives and they not. They're not living and doing the
things they were doing before, but yet people are being
deceived. Today they go to one of these
churches, and sometimes it's just a video church.
And I'm sorry to say, but the guy they listened to went into a
room and recorded it, and he's not even preaching it to an
audience. Come on now.
And I happen to know that sometimes they will speak to a
audience of young people, middle-aged people and older
people. They will treat their message
and they will change this and change that and change something
else. And so not to offend somebody.
The gospel is the gospel. If it offends you, then that
means that you are not where you should be with God.
If preaching the Bible, if talking about hell, talking
about sin, come on, now I'm walking where angels fear the
tread, but I'm doing it anyway because I am tired of people
getting deceived. I know for I know personally
that what they this couple told the pastor.
So they were on the team, you know, the team up on the
platform and said, oh, we're under grace, so it's all right
if we live together and not married.
I don't find that in the word of God.
Anybody find that in the Bible that you can live together out
of wedlock? Come on now, you know, Hey, some
of you are with me. Some of you are looking at me
like, where are you coming from? Well, I'm coming from the fact
that I'm reading scripture to substantiate what I'm talking
about. I'm not just telling you
something. I'm thinking.
I'm telling you what what the Bible says.
You know Colossians 214. I mean 24 says 24.
I'm telling you this so no one will deceive you with well
crafted arguments I've seen. I'll tell you that King James
says now this I say, lest anyone should deceive you with
persuasive words. Some people are great orators.
They can, you know, and that's the problem with some of these
churches today. And I'm sorry, I may, I may get
letters, I may get phone calls or whatever, but that's I I
don't worry about it. But they're preaching to the
people. They're giving them a feel good
sermon and they won't go out of church.
I've done my duty. I went to church and there is no
life change. If there's no life change, then
there's no conversion. Hello.
You know, Second Thessalonians 2-3.
Anybody get anything out of this?
Don't be fooled by what they say for that day, for that day will
not come until the great rebellion against God and the
man of loudness revealed no one, the one who brings destruction.
Watch, Paul said here. Watch that words don't are not
being able to deceive you. We many times in the natural if
we're not careful, something that is said will appeal to our
natural senses. It sounds good and feels good,
but it isn't in line with the word of God.
The Bible says that even in the last days, Christians will be
deceived. People are saying, oh, I don't
need to read the Bible anymore. You know, I've been saved and
and I I mean, it's being said right now.
I've heard it. It's OK if we don't go to church
and just watch it on the live stream.
That's all right. Well, it's OK if you can't get
there, but what does the Bible say?
Hebrews 1025, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves
together, and was in the matter of some, but exhorting one
another. So the much more as you see the
day approaching Hebrews 1025 in NLT.
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people
do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of
his returning is drawing nigh there.
You get something when you come together in the local body of
church that you can't get watching that screen number one,
you there drinking your coffee with your house shoes on and
your and your pajamas on, and you're you're halfway listening
and halfway not. But I've done my duty.
I went to church. There are many churches and I'm
now I'm going to really get strong.
There are many even charismatic churches that are have trying to
have church without the power of God.
What am I talking about? I know exactly some churches
that say we have no demonstration of any kind in the
service. What we saw during worship while
ago, people down here, people over here, people and people
jumping, that is not allowed. And they say if you would like
to talk about a better life at the end of the service where
people will be here and you can come and talk with them about a
better life. And if you would like to have a
little more information about some another experience back
here in this room, back here in the back part of the campus, we
have one night a week, we have an hour meeting and they'll
explain to you about a deeper experience that don't cut it.
As far as I'm concerned. If you come to Raven Bible
Church, I will give an altar call.
I will ask for people that if they like, need to accept Jesus
Christ or they need to rededicate their life to God,
I'll ask them to raise their hand and come forward so I can
pray with them. I also will give a call if you'd
like to receive the Holy Spirit. According to what the Bible says
in Acts chapter 2, verse #4, they were all filled with the
Holy Spirit, began to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them
utterance. We have many of our charismatic
church churches today that are not allowing any of that to
happen. There there's if somebody gets
up at the in a demonstration, the ushers will usher them out.
I know that to be a fact, and yet the bill is full.
Come on, Deception as far as I'm concerned.
Come on. There you go.
Come on. I don't know what y'all think
about this, but I'm doing what I felt like God told me to do.
Having church with no call for salvation, no moving of the
Spirit of any kind or demonstration of the Spirit is
not in line with what the Paul taught is not in line with the
book of Acts. And do you realize that that's
the Acts of the early church? Do you realize that the Acts did
not end? And chapter 28, We are still
living the Book of Acts and what was happening in among them
should be happening with us, Paul said.
You come together, you have a Psalm, you have testimony, you
have a prophecy. You have in tongues
interpretations I give I, I I speak out prophecy all the time
while I'm preaching. Sometimes I don't ever tell
nobody. It's it.
If somebody studied the word, they can tell when it's when,
it's when it's coming out of my spirit and the Spirit gives it
to you. See, God wants to move with His
Spirit in power and give you understanding.
In fact, if you read the Bible, it says that if you will study
the word, he will reveal things to you.
Anybody ever read that in there? We are living in what they call
and when I was in Bible school I was taught this.
I went to Southwestern Assembly God University in Waxahachie, TX
and we had a different name then, but it's the same school
You ever noticed a lot of these schools changing their names.
But we are living in what we call the age of the Holy Spirit.
It's the time that the Holy Spirit is being poured out.
You know, I you read Acts 2 and Peter talking in the last days.
God said I'll pour out my spirit upon all people and he goes on
and talks all about it. It's true.
Today we need to have Pentecost. When they were filled with the
Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, people heard them
talking in tongues. Actually, they thought they were
drunk. And Peter said they're not drunk
as wine as you suppose they had. They were drunk on the Holy
Spirit. Nowhere in the Bible does it say
that the Holy Spirit has ceased. Now, a lot of people have said
that. A lot of denomination, a lot of
churches, and a lot of people say, oh, that happened in Bible
days. We are still in Bible days.
Hallelujah. And what happened then should be
happening now. I went to some churches just to
see, and in the back they didn't know who it was.
I set out. My wife will tell you.
We went. We were appalled.
It was supposed to be a Pentecostal church.
I left that grieved in my spirit because what they say on their
sign and in their statements of faith is not happening in their
building. We have come to the point and I
got to quit. It's too long I've come.
We've come to the point that too many people are ascribing to a
code written but not demonstrated.
The Holy Spirit should be moving in our midst, and we're going to
have a healing line here on Friday night.
And one of the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation,
which is the gifts of healings. You know, we all read Mark 16.
These meritless signs will accomplish accompany the
believer. We need to not just embrace them
with our thoughts and with our speech.
We need to embrace them with our actions.
You know, John Ray, in the layman's commentary on the Holy
Spirit, said this. Every generation must be
convinced of the reality of God that he is not dead, but living
and loving. All Christians and missionaries
and evangelists and ministers need the supernatural equipment
to do their part in proclaiming Christ to the lost and dying
world. But not only do they need it,
that and I got a sermon. I preach sometimes.
Every member, a minister, everybody, everybody that that's
born again. Everybody's filled with the
spirits you have. You have a place to minister.
It may not be on a platform, but wherever you're at, come on now.
Through the years there have been many moves of the Spirit
and I'm just going to go back They the Pentecostal Revival.
It came with Azusa St. The healing revival has started
1947 through 1958. I my dad was a part of it.
I grew up there. I I I knew all of those guys.
I knew oral. I knew WB Grant.
I knew Jack Cole. I knew a A Allen personally.
I went to. I went to Scandalville Bible
Academy with Paul Allen, Allen's son.
You name all of those evangelists.
And you know what? Most of them got off because
they got hunting money. Come on now, Oral Roberts.
Kenneth Hagin, 2, and Osborne and only three of that group
that I know. And then I don't know why they
all ended up in Tulsa. All of them.
All three of them that continued their ministry.
Out of all of those, I got the magazines, the Boise Heating
magazine. Gordon Lindsay was the head of.
I know I knew Gordon Lindsay personally myself.
Dad was there with him the charismatic renewal that
started. I was AI would have had the
privilege of being a part of that full gospel of businessmen
started it. People were getting the Holy
Ghost in the elevators in in in restaurants in the halls of of
of of hotels and resorts. They have these huge conventions
And I was in Phoenix. We you remember this on way in
Phoenix AZ. Now Dimas Securin was the head
of that and he dimas like that. He said, Now, Brother Hagan,
these other guys can teach faith, but nobody teaches the
Holy Spirit like you do. You're going to be the Holy
Spirit. Teacher, we were in Phoenix, AZ.
There's a room, 400 people. I believe it was in that room.
Daddy taught on the Holy Spirit. He stood up and he said receive
the Holy Spirit. And 400 people started speaking
in tongues. I saw it.
Hello. That was the healing revival.
Now why am I talking about it? Then the teaching revival came.
All these people got the Holy Spirit.
They didn't know what to do. And that's why the teaching
revival came. And then we had a Holy Ghost and
Joy revival for a while. See, the Holy Spirit moves in
many different ways. I thank God I had the privilege
of being in every one of these except the Azusa Street I
preached the sermon back into. I preached the mess of Ceres.
It's out there in the book called God's Greater Glory.
I guess they got it on C DS I think on what they haven't put
it on that MP whatever it is anymore.
But I we This is why I'm talking about this because there is
going to be a Last Day revival and it's going to include all of
these revivals put together. And I don't want people to be
deceived thinking that they're they're in in where they're
supposed to be. You know, we need to realize and
sound the alarm that we we belong to God and we need to
realize that greater is he that's in US and he that's in
the world, He's there. It's going to come against us.
He's coming against us. We are all.
This is also known the age of the church, and God is building
the church. He's building the church, which
is the Ecclesias worldwide. Everybody that's born again, but
he's also building local, local congregations.
And you see he said in he said, now I say to you, you're Peter,
which means rocking up on her up on this rock.
I will build my church and all the powers of hell.
Not the car, Peter. People said, oh, they're going,
he's going to build it. No, he's using Peter as an
example, a person the church is being built by you.
What the word of God says what don't you know that you're
living Tabernacle. You're living.
You're living Tabernacle, the Holy Spirit.
He's ultimately building the church, and the enemy is doing
everything within his power right now to come against the
church and us that are born again, spirit filled.
And he's trying to deceive us so that this thing can be shut
down. They're trying to pass
legislation to stop it. Let me tell you something.
The church is a mighty mood and force, and nothing is going to
stop it. We cannot afford to be deceived
by some of these preachers. And don't be deceived by some of
these people that are trying to take use scriptures to take
offerings. It's not only have anything to
do with offering, It's all right to use the scripture for
offering, but make sure that it's talking about an offering.
Come on. And Luke 18, eight.
And I want to close this down. I've been going way too long.
I normally don't go this long. But listen, I'm just.
I'm not preaching the sermon. I'm talking to you out of my
heart. I'm just talking to you.
Tonight, When the Son of Man returns, how many will he find
on Earth who have faith? Far as I'm concerned, they're
going to be faith. And I got Craig and Denise and
my boys. They say that face shield on top
of that building is still going to be spinning.
The devil tried to take it out, but now it's up there, bigger
and better than ever. You see when these difficult
days and times come and people are preaching stuff and you may
even have some of your friends that try to convince you
otherwise, you're going to have to make up your mind what you
believe and stand your ground. Some of you are going to have
listen in this last days. It's going to, the Bible says
it. Everybody's concerned about
what's happening. Hey, nothing is happening that
the Bible doesn't say it's already going to happen.
And we're going to have to make up our mind.
Whether we believe God, we're going to have to make up our
mind. And it's the Bible.
It's gone. And I'm going to preach it
whether they like it or not. And God made Adam and Eve and
not Steve and Jim. Come on now, you can get mad at
me if you want to, but now I'm telling you what the Bible said.
Go read. Go if you want to read.
If you really want to go, read the first chapter of Romans.
If you want to get into it, just read the first chapter of
Romans. What Paul was saying.
They say as it was in the days that one city God destroyed it.
Let's look to the word let's believe what the word says not
what some oh so and so said I don't care what so and so said
Paul said if he came preaching something or somebody else that
he didn't had not to count it to cursed.
You know David went out and declared the last you coming at
me with sword and spirit and jab.
I'm sword and javelin. But today I will kill you and I
will cut off your head because not because of who I am I'm
going to paraphrase that but because of my God.
And let me tell you today, we're going to have to stand against
some giants that are rising up in our nation that are trying to
tell us this is OK and that's OK.
Let me tell you what it's not OK if it's if it's a going against
the word of God, if it's going against what God's principles
are, don't be fooled. It's time that we rise up and
begin to say, I believe God and I will stand for the Bible no
matter what. Because I will not recant and
you going, I believe that we're coming to a point that we're
going to have to get to that place where we just bow our neck
and dig our feet in and say no more and stand up for the
principles of God. You know your pastor, there's
army. I'm army.
There's been other people in here that are probably army.
I raised my. I raised my right hand and I
took an oath. I signed a blank check, payable
up to my life, to defend this country.
Tonight, if you want to stand up and take an oath to stand for
God, no matter what happens, I want you to stand on your feet
right now. Don't do this.
If you did, it don't mean it. Right.
Keep seated. And we're not going.
We're not going, but we're not going to put you down.
But listen, this is serious. Yeah, this is serious.
I'm not talking about doing something because everybody else
is doing it. I'm not talking about doing it
because I said to do it. I'm talking about you having a
conviction in your heart. Yeah.
That you aren't going to stand for what the Bible says.
Hello. Thank you, Jesus.
You make your own commitment. Hallelujah.
You talk to God. You tell God yourself what your
commitment is. You talk to him.
You tell him. I commit God.
I commit. I've preached it.
I've already committed to it. Thank you, Father.
In Jesus name these people are saying they're going to stand
for the what is the word and the things of God.
Father, I thank you that you would give each of us the wisdom
and knowledge and understanding of how and when to keep our
mouths shut and when to open our mouth and talk.
Father, give us the strength to stand in the face of any
opposition that is against you and your word.
I thank you for it in Jesus. Name everybody to agree with
that. Say Amen.
