Thanks for checking out the anger Faith Message podcast from
st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. Well, the Lord's good.
If you have your Bible turn over to First Timothy, chapter 4,
we're going to continue and what we started last week, I'm really
excited about what the Lord is impressed on me to minister
because, you know, it could be that as we move forward in more
more teachings, we will have to continue to pull in the times
that we're living in. Because of this particular
passage of scripture will open with things are going to get
very problematic even in the church.
And so as a as a pastor I have a direct assignment from the head
of the church. Jesus again, I want to say this
is not my church and Cafe. Church is not my church.
I understand that I may be the senior pastor lead Pastor,
whatever you want to call the little fancy term.
Is I am a pastor in the church. The one that God said I want you
to oversee this Vision. I was led here by the Holy Ghost
but Lead, Jesus, is the head of the church.
I'm just Pastor in it. And so at the end of the day,
sometimes there are things I would like to say, and I would
like to deliver to you. They are truths, but the Lord's
light, but we're not going to say that this Sunday, we're
going to say this. Because at the end of the day,
he is the head of the church. It's important for him to be at
a communicate to his children because he loves us.
I said he loves us. He has made a way for all to
come into his kingdom. But he is extremely passionate
about his children, extremely passionate, and he does not want
us to fall off because he knows trouble is coming before his
return. Amen.
So in first Timothy chapter 4 verse 1 and 2.
The pass in Translation says that this way the Holy Spirit
has explicitly revealed. At the end of this age, many
will depart from the true Faith. One after another devoting
themselves to spirits of deception And I'm following
demon Inspire, Revelations and Theory.
Hypocritical Liars will deceive many and their conscience won't
bother them at all. Now, the Holy Spirit has
explicitly revealed. This meaning that this is going
to happen. You can't pray it away.
You can't have a Revival that will stop it.
It is going to happen. Period.
The spirit has explicitly revealed this.
How many you are convinced? Jesus Christ is going to return.
Why are you convinced? East of that.
Because the Bible has revealed that.
Well, the Bible equally has revealed that there's going to
come at the end of this age. This age, say this age, this age
is what we call the age of Grace or the church age.
This age will end just like the old Covenant or the, the the age
of the law of Moses that age has ended and we are in a New Age
after Jesus death, burial and resurrection and on the day of
Pentecost, a new age was fully lost in its completion.
Jesus started it by breathing on the apostles.
In John chapter 20 to receive the Holy Spirit.
They were born again and then it was fully consummated When Jesus
ascended up and the Holy Spirit came down and came upon the, the
Saints, those that were born again and those that were in
that upper room, they were all filled with the holy spirit with
Of speaking in tongues the power of God.
They have received and as a result of that, then they were
deployed to be God's witnesses to testify of his kingdom and do
the works of that Kingdom. We are still in that
dispensation today and we are functioning in it, but there
will come a day that this age will end.
And as we get closer to it, or at the end of the age is, says
many will depart from the true Faith.
One after another, So you understand that the majority of
the church is called up in the thought process of the lat the
end time. Revival.
Man, when we going to see that, I can't wait for this end time.
Revival. When when all these people get
born again, all the while. Never paying attention to
themselves. All the while, never pinch.
It paying attention to themselves.
As I said last week, there are a few things I need to review just
because it helps us as we move forward, we saw a what I would
conclude, maybe a type and Shadow of what's going to take
place in the last days before the catching away of the church
that God's covenant people that he brought out of the nation of
Egypt through the Red Sea over into the wilderness.
Yes, they were in Covenant with God.
They were a delivered Nation. They were no longer in bondage,
which is a type and Shadow of being born again.
Yet many of them fell in the wilderness because they were
stubborn stiff-necked and rebellious, they never entered
into their rest. Now, the promised land is not
heaven because there's no battles to fight in heaven.
Are you hearing me? But it is still nonetheless,
this transition. They were never supposed to be
in the wilderness that long they were only supposed to be there
less than a month and move on into the promised land.
Begin to conquer that land that God had freely given them and
through his power. And then working with God, they
would subdue Nations. However, of the six hundred and
three thousand plus men, just the men.
Of all that Nation by the time 40 years were over and he had
eliminated, the ones that were rebellious stiff neck and would
not believe the report of the Lord concerning the promised
land God had replaced them with about the same amount of number.
So when they actually went in with Joshua is still around six
hundred three thousand, not exactly, but it's pretty
similar. So for me in that thought I
begin to wonder. Will the falling away of many
and churches, only be replaced by the great end time Harvest.
If that is the case, I don't want to be a fall away.
Go ahead and look to your neighbor.
So I don't want to be a fall away.
Now, you'll control this, God does not control this, you
control. This this is entirely up to you.
Now, look, you never say. I have the power.
You are He-Man of the poor. I just, I just really made a lot
of people happy right now that used to watch that.
Okay. My point is you do have the
power because you have the Holy Ghost on the inside of you, you
have the word of God. Are you hearing me and so we
can't control whether we are of The Departed?
We can control it, but it says, many, how many how many, many
not, a few, but many but just very troubling.
I mean, what would many look like just in this congregation?
If they started to depart, now I'm going to be honest with you,
I kind of go in this direction you know cuz I'm the optimistic
always hopeful guy. There's only one thing that I
have knowledge of that. I have no hope in.
There's only one thing, everything else I hold hope.
The only thing I have no hope in and then that is the devil and
all his demons will never be redeemed.
I have no hope in that they will always be eternally.
Damned no issue there, okay? But as far as other things,
there are areas. He has of hope.
I guess there's one more would be too because the Lord just
said, there's one more. I said you're right there is
more. Someone who has blasphemed the
Holy Ghost. I have no hope in them forever
coming back to repentance. Other than that, I hold profound
hope because I know the power of the word and the spirit of God,
if a person will truly repent with all their heart acknowledge
their wrongdoing, be honest. Because again we said in
Galatians chapter 6 last week, God is Is not mocked.
You can lie to me to my face and God knows your story.
You can manipulate that situation all day long, but God
knows the truth and at the end of the day, the truth God knows
is going to come out that's going to happen.
So it would be better just to be honest.
And get under the mighty hand of God, let the blood of Jesus wash
you and clean you and make you whole And then whatever the
consequence of Your Action is let God began to restore.
You may suffer some loss but it would be better to be in right
standing with God than become one of the many Many will depart
from the true Faith. One after another.
How will they do this through devotion?
Commitment. Religiously religious exercise
to a school of thought. They will be firmly persuaded of
a new school of thought. That is not of true faith.
Although, it may contain scripture.
And will contain scripture. They'll devote themselves to the
spirits of deception and following demon Inspire what
Revelations, and Theory. I got this Revelation yet.
It has no context scripturally, it's using scripture.
But in context it doesn't fit. I said in context it doesn't fit
right now. Particular denominations.
Having some challenges. I don't know if you know about
it. But particular dot domination is
having some challenges because some of their churches.
Our understanding that God made male and female to have dominion
and to be full of the Holy Ghost and power.
And some of these pastors have come to realize that God
actually used women. That how can we ignore?
Deborah the prophet she's a prophetess.
That's the fivefold ministry. That men came and said, what do
you think about the war were fixing to get in?
Philip had four daughters. Who are prophetess?
How do we conclude when God himself tells Abraham, Sarah's
right? Concerning Hagar, listen to your
wife. And yet denomination set up and
say women can't Minister calls. One scripture says women be
silent in church but they don't do their history.
We are in the United States when that scripture was written by
Paul. Do you know where women set in
the synagogue's? They didn't sit with the men,
they were segregated separated, they sit in one place, the men
set somewhere else. So ultimately, if a wife stood
up and said, Honey, what did he mean?
She couldn't do like most of y'all.
What Spencer was saying because I see you talking to each other
all the time. What what'd he say?
I don't know if I believe that. I hadn't seen any husband say
you better be quiet in church. So, if you said that, then I'd
hear this. I heard a sound.
No. Yeah it's a respectful wife.
She like I'm gonna slap you when we get home just getting my
point is is that that was the context of scripture but he
said, ask your husband when you get home, don't disrupt service.
I wouldn't let a man disrupt service. so again, when you
understand context, instead of just taking one occasion, all of
a sudden, eat eliminating the voice of women, But some
Churches finally say, you know what, we're not going to listen
to that. I mean these women are extremely
gifted, they hear from God, they are able to rightly discern and
at the end of the day think about it, especially here at a
church. I don't care how many women come
up, I'm the pastor there, still submitted to me, they're still
under amen. And in those churches, the same
thing by All Rights. So really, what's the problem?
Your religion. Well, guess what?
They're using scripture. To deceive women that they have
no voice. So, deceptions been in the
church for quite some time. Right?
You said, was there any here? I'm sure.
There's some among you. You said pass, you're not
deceived no. Because I can I'm going to train
you today. How you stay out of deception,
you can stay out. Is easy and it's clear.
But you'll have to do your part, are you hearing me?
Alright. So, again, what takes place in
these deserts, these people who bring these who allow themselves
to hear these Realms of the spirit that aren't the Holy
Ghost. They are hypocritical Liars.
Now, who did Jesus call Hypocrites in the Bible?
When he walked on the earth? The Pharisees they were the
religious people. So they'll hold a title of
Pastor, they can hold a title of Pop profit, they can hold those
titles. Meaning they may be
self-proclaimed Titles that really, they should add one more
word on front, which is false. They don't usually put that on
their business card, I'm false Apostle, they typically don't do
that. Right.
I've never been handed a card that my name is false teacher.
But I've taken cards that day. I write it in myself.
Thank you. And actually, I'm gonna give
that back to you, amen. But now he be hypocritical.
Liars will deceive how many. Now let me tell you who's going
to be deceived, and I'll probably talk about this more
next week, but I'll just give you the the only people
deceived. Or the immature.
So, it should inspire you to mature.
It would inspire you to be mature.
Now, I'm not going to tell you that amateur can't be deceived.
That's not a true statement. They can But the ones that are
the easiest are babes, their babes.
And why is it because of lack of knowledge.
Lack of knowledge will cause you to be deceived when I was a
child, there was electric fence. Hey, just grab this.
Now, lack of knowledge will cause you to get bit.
Are you hear me? But if you know what's going to
take place, you'd be like you ain't deceiving me, I'm not
touching the fence. Are you hearing me?
All right. Proverbs 16:18 says, this, what
will cause these people to Fall Away?
What creates a fall? It says in Proverbs 16:18 Pride
goes before, destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.
The passion translation says that this way your Bose becomes
a prophecy of a future. Err failure, the higher you lift
yourself up in Pride the harder you'll fall in disgrace.
Now here's the thing we learned last week and we're going to
touch on those environments real quick again.
But Pride when we are introduced to Pride in the scripture where
we see pride manifested for the first time, it's within two
environments that were without sin.
When pride is first manifested, it is within two environments
where sin does not exist. So pride is not subject to
therefore, therefore, the fall is not the cause of Pride, but
pride is the cause of the Fall. We don't run the risk of Pride
because of the Fall. Pride is, what creates the fall
are you hearing me now? What is pride pride by
definition is exaltation? It's to lift something up above.
Are you hearing me? So by All rights pride?
Is someone saying what I think and how I should do it?
I take a thought higher than gods Because God has the final
say, he is a, he is life. Peter said to Jesus, he said
where we going to go, you have words of life.
He is like, he's the way the truth.
And the he's the way the and the he's not a way.
A truth, a life. He is the way no other way.
He's the truth. No other truth.
He's the life and there's No other life, but through him.
So any thought we take that is contrary to his word.
Pride. That's Pride, that's even when
we're acting humble. One of the greatest displays of
pride in the church is through false humility, and it sounds
like this. I know that the Lord can heal
but, you know, if he doesn't want to heal me, that's fine.
Who am I to ask him? His will, you know, his ways are
higher than my ways. His thoughts are high.
And if I need to keep this sickness because he's teaching
me, I'll do it. I'll do it for the Lord.
That's Pride. So why is that Pride pastor?
Because the Bible says by his stripes you were healed.
He wants you healed, he desires that you heal.
He actually answer the question when the leopard said Lord if if
you're willing you'll him he said I am so for us not to say
my Lord is willing to heal me, I believe he will.
Heal me, I will take my healing. I will go to him and talk to him
about this healing. That is mine, that is not
prideful. That is, that is a right?
I have as a child of God and he loves me and wants me.
Healthy. Well you know the Lord wants me
to have this job. He'll open the door if he
doesn't, he'll shut the doors. You know, I'm just here just a
humble servant. Do what he wants to do that's
Pride because you're not even seeking him to find out if he
wants you to have the job or not.
Can you find out first why you predicated on doors?
You know, devil knows how to shut a door.
No devil knows how to open a door.
The devil knows how to give you stuff that God himself would
give you if you follow him. How do we know this Matthew
chapter 6? He he said, why are you worried
about what you going, what you going to drink?
What you going where that person is trying to seek their own way
of getting it, and they can get it because the Bible says, what
good, is it a man to gain the whole world but what forfeit his
soul? Why would he keep his thinking
that he can do it and don't need God's help?
Even though he'll say, God did it, but God really wasn't in the
plan and he forfeits his whole Destiny with God, just so he can
be successful in the in the image of Man's eyes.
Yeah. The Lord said.
But if you seek first, the kingdom, and his righteousness,
righteousness, is not a religious word.
It means right standing with a governing Authority.
God's way of doing this, he'll add everything to you.
That the Gentiles are seeking. He'll just add it to you.
I said, he'll add it to you. He'll add it to you.
He will not withhold. It he doesn't keep it to keep
you humble. He didn't keep you poor and
broke so that you won't get exalted.
I mean there's so many exalted prideful poor people.
They're broken prideful. There's wealthy and prideful
pride is simply thinking God God you do a God thing your way and
not his way. So this was created into
environments that were without sin.
We're going to look at it from Ezekiel today.
Ezekiel chapter 28, verse 14 and 15 and then verse 17, it says As
this you were the anointed cherub who covers?
And I placed you. There you were on the Holy
Mountain of God and you walked in the midst of the stones of
fire, you were blameless. In your ways.
You are what blameless you were. What?
Because when God created this anointed cherub, he was perfect.
You are blameless in your ways from the day you were created
until unrighteousness was found in you.
Now what's unrighteousness that's going against What God
Says. That's going against what gods?
And this happened and an environment.
Where no one had ever gone against What God Says.
No created being up to this point has gone against what God
Said, but this one he says, your heart was what lift it up same
Hebrew word as what was found in Proverbs 16:18 when it says a
haughty Spirit same, this is where we get the word pride from
your heart. Was lifted up because of your
beauty. You corrupted, your wisdom by
reason of your Splendor. I That's God.
Saying cashew to the ground. Put you before kings, that they
may see you. Well what did Jesus say in the
Luke account? He said, I saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven. Hallelujah.
So in perfect, heaven Earth. Perfect creation.
And anointed cherub decided I have a way better than God.
I have a way better than God this anointed cherub that's
thrown down shows up in a garden Genesis chapter 3.
Now in Genesis chapter 3, we understand Genesis 3:1.
This is a perfect environment because we see in Genesis woman
God created the heavens and the Earth.
All right, that was all the way at the very beginning prior to
the fall of actual the anointed cherub.
But there's some junk takes place.
While I close verse 2 tells us that God has to them form.
Some things out of basically that Hebrew word or are met word
means chaos. So, some chaos had taken place
based upon this rebellion of anointed cherub, and now he's
going to fix some things. And so out of that, he creates
this Earth and he begins to form and he says Let There Be and
there was and let there be in there was and let there be in
member after every day he said it was what what he say it was
he said it was what it was good. Then he gets down to verse 26 of
the first chapter of Genesis and he said let us make man in our
image according to our likeness and let him, let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea over, the birds of the sky,
over all the cattle, over all the Earth and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
So God, Dated him and his image, both male and female, he created
them. So both male and female had
Dominion. They were in the image of God.
They were in the likeness of God.
God is not a man that he should lie.
He is a spirit and in him is no Darkness.
So man then was perfect without sin sinless, the environment.
He's placed on it Earth this new Earth that's being created.
That's been reformed. That is perfect environment.
It is good. He finishes his work, he said it
is very good. Then he tells his man gives him
some instruction out of that. He makes a woman from his rib
and both of them are in the garden.
This God Adam and Eve in the garden, no sin chapter 3.
Someone else shows up. But when this other one showed
up sin is not in the Earth. I said, sin is not in the Earth
by All rights. This is a perfect environment.
It says, now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of
the field, which the Lord God had made, and he said to the
woman, indeed has God said You shall not eat from any tree of
the garden. The woman said to the serpent
from the fruit of the tree of the garden.
We may eat. But from the fruit of the tree
which is in the middle of the garden, God said, You shall not
eat from it, or touch it or you will die.
The serpent said to the woman. You surely will not die for God
knows. That in the day that you eat
from it, your eyes will be open and you'll be like, God knowing
good and evil. When the woman saw that the tree
was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes and
that the tree was desirable to make one wise she took from its
fruit and ate and she gave also to her husband with her.
And he ate verse 7, then the eyes of both of them were opened
and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves
together and made themselves loin cook coverings.
They heard the sound of the Lord Walking In The Garden, in the
cool of the day, and the man And his wife hid themselves from the
presence of the Lord God Among the trees in the garden.
Then God Called To The Man and said, where are you?
So in Genesis 1:1 are in Genesis 3:1.
We could say, it's God is Adam, Eve, serpent in the garden, no
sin. When the serpent talks, no sin.
Sin does not fully come in till Adam eats the fruit.
Why is this problematic? Well, you go back to chapter 2
chapter 2 real quick just so we get context, it's not that Adam,
doesn't know this. Genesis 28 9 says the Lord.
God planted a garden toward the east in Eden and there.
He placed the man whom he had formed out of the ground of out
of the ground. The Lord God calls every tree.
That is what please. Easing to the sight and good for
food the tree of life. Also in the midst of the garden
and the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil.
So all the trees were pleasing in sight.
So, it's not like all the other trees.
More pleasing as well. Verse 16, the Lord God
commanded. The man saying from any tree of
the garden you may eat what freely?
But from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you
shall not eat for in the day that you eat, from it, you will
surely what. So again, we've said this
before, it Bears, repeating if Adam had never eaten a fruit.
Where would he be today? He's still be alive on this same
planet today, because death Would not have sin which the
wages of sin is death. Death by All rights would not
have entered. The Earth wouldn't have came in
essence, could Adam had fix this Well, we'll go and find out.
So according to Genesis chapter 3, I want us to look at a few
things because most of the time we come through Genesis chapter
3, right? And we don't always stop long
enough to carry on a conversation and really say,
Okay Lord, what's taking place here?
Give me all the details of this thing.
You know, most of the time, you know, most Saints by All rights.
Those that are in the body of Christ that are within the
congregation are only deriving. Its information from what
someone is saying. Anyway, they're not technically
doing personal studies that, we don't do that here at anchor
features. This is why we always challenge
you to study the scripture for yourself.
I've said a hundred times. I'll say it a hundred times
more. I'll probably say it 10,000
times more if the Lord tarries, but you're not obligated to
believe anything I say. Because I'm saying it, you
should search the scripture for yourself.
Let it bear witness with you by the Holy Ghost.
And when what I'm saying is revealed his truth.
Then you should accept it, not as the word of men but what it
really is the word of God, don't believe it because I said it
believed it because God said it and I just happen to say what
God was say. That's the only way you're going
to have Victory because if you're trying to live off my
belief and my faith, you won't win, we know this from the seven
sons of sceva in action in the book of Acts where they tried to
cast The Devil out in the name of Jesus, the one whom Paul
preaches. Well, Paul definitely had
Revelation about casting Devils out in the name of Jesus and it
was working. Jesus obviously, cast out
Devils, but man when these seven guys try to do it off another
man's Eight that spirit rose up in that person, which means they
were demonically possessed. And it spoke and said it spoke
through the vessel if possessed. Jesus, we know Paul we've heard
about But who are you? You know, a lot of saints are
getting defeated because I like Pastor, Earle set or Pastor
whoever you're under said and they're like them.
We Jesus, we know we've heard about your pastor.
But who are you? That's why you got to get your
Revelation. Are you hearing me?
Because just because I'm preaching many will fall away
and you say, I'm not one of the many you can become one of the
many if you're just believing you won't fall away cuz I said
I'm preaching this So if we go and start to look at it because
when I was on Monday, actually Monday, the Lord dropped this.
Thought into my spirit, I'm like, didn't see that in Genesis
3 before. Didn't see it.
Lord did not see that, and I put it on my nose.
I said, I'll preach that. I will release that information.
So let's look at this context again, real quickly.
It says, now serpent was more crafty than any beast of the
field, which the Lord God had made and he said to the woman
indeed has God said You shall not eat for.
A tree. Now let's just go ahead and
let's deal with the serpent. The serpent is not less, it's
not a serpent men who he really is.
This is the devil. So we're going to call him for
who he is. He's the Devil.
He's Satan. All right, although he's in the
form of the serpent, he's utilizing that creative being to
be able to have access. In fact, there's a whole nother
teaching about some other stuff. I'm not going to get in that
closet speculation anyway, but at the end of the day, we do
know that the devil Devil was the source of the conversation,
so I'm going to address him as the devil from here on out.
Okay. So here's the thing, the devil
Ass. What is God said?
So what's he doing? The devil uses God's private
conversation with man to awaken pride in the man.
I will say that again. He obviously was not there.
The day, the Lord said to Adam Adam, you're not going to eat
any, you're going to eat every tree but this one because the
day you do, you die. Does the devil know?
God has the devil ever taught with God?
Has he had a relationship with him.
So the devil has insight into things concerning God.
So when he approaches Adam and Eve, it's not like he doesn't
have an understanding of who God is.
He's had some private meetings himself.
I must say that again, he's had some private meetings himself.
Adam doesn't know about the private meeting.
Addict God came down to the Earth, creates a sir Breeze into
this skin suit, cause this man at him gives him instruction to
key have dominion multiply subdue, right?
He gives him these things to do, then, he says, now here's your
instruction, Ephraim, all these trees but do not eat this from
this one. This is a private conversation
that he's had a meeting with his man.
This is the wit my will. This is life.
What he didn't do is say now a few months ago years ago, couple
decades is kind of millennial. You wouldn't know time frame but
I had this problem with an anointed cherub, I just want you
to be aware of it. Are y'all want to hear this
fine? Here's God.
The father that he knows. He's got a rogue.
Created be a rogue one that's off the reservation.
One that has one purpose, destroy God and everything that
he does, and he knows God's power.
He's already lost. He's already been kicked out.
He's already been thrown down. You understand, Toma insult to
injury, this anointed cherub, who used to, if we and will
probably show up next week. He was actually in the Garden of
Eden himself. Not the one Adams, taking care
of a one before and he was working in it.
But because he decided, I lift my throne above the most high.
I'm taking over pride in her to God.
God's throws him down. Then God says, here's your
replacement and he looks like me.
What's the Bible say, who is man that you take thought of him?
That you created him a little lower.
Now, some translations says the Angels but man is not made lower
than the Angels. It's literally the translation
is Elohim, which is a little lower than God, you are sons of
God, not sons of a created class under angels We're not
underaged, in fact will judge angels.
But you're going to have to get into Kingdom and understand all
this. As long as the bibles are
religious book to you about going to heaven, then you'll
miss all this. Because the Bible is not about
not a religious book is about a king, his kingdom and his Royal
Offspring. It's always been about the
government of God and never has not been But deceiving Spirits
have reduced it to escaping Earth, to go to heaven, you say,
whoa, now you telling me, we won't go to heaven.
Yes, you will to be absent from the body is to be present with
the Lord. The Lord is presently in heaven.
That is true but you know he's not staying.
So your homework assignment today because I don't have time
to help you out on this and get you out of your religion.
Today, is you go read the last two books of the Bible and then
ask yourself the question. Why we getting a new Earth?
And how come Jerusalem's coming down out of Heaven to the Earth
if we're going to live in heaven forever?
So there's this private meeting that has happened with God in
his administration among his staff.
That he has had a problem. With a rebellious one and has
kicked them out and he did not go to his own son.
Oh, you don't hear this. He didn't even go to his own
son. And say I got a rogue out there.
You need to be aware of it. You keep your eyes watching out.
He's cunning. Never know when he might show
up, I want you to be able to understand when he gets here.
Well, God knew he would understand when he gets here,
because he gave him what he needed to recognize without ever
telling him. He was coming, he said, eat from
any tree but this tree, you don't eat for you die.
And what I say, is final, I don't have to talk to you about
my private meeting with the anointed cherub.
You don't have to know what happened.
But now the anointed cherub has had a meeting.
And he knows how God operates. So he's like I want to take
Dominion back, I used to rule down here.
I want it back. So he takes this because he had
a prior relationship to his inside of God.
Are you hearing me? He was able to then navigate
that to be able to now have a conversation with someone else
who had a private meeting with the Lord.
So the devil uses, his private meeting with God to influence
Adam and Eve concerning what they think they know about God.
I know God. You know, I met with him.
Once I met with him often actually and you know what?
He doesn't always do what he says.
I mean, he's really got you kind of Messed up.
You. All right.
I mean, let's look at this conversation that's taking
place. Here, he said, has God not said,
so he's got to find out what he said.
He's trying to get into the meaty.
He wants to know what God's saying without asking God, the
devil wants to know what God has said without asking God, because
if I can know what God Said, without asking God, and keep God
from being here, then I can manipulate what God said to you.
I'm going to say that again. If I can ask you what God Said,
without God being here, then I can manipulate what God Said.
Sorry operated because he happens to know God too.
He said look it's not that way. You're just not going to die.
See God knows if you eat that fruit.
You going to be like him. Now are they like him?
But yet somehow he was able to convince them.
What he said that you are you really aren't that.
You actually have to disobey him to be like him.
Now, get that in order for you really to be like him, you got
to disobey him. If you really want to be like
him, you actually got to go against everything he's ever
demonstrated. I mean, think about it, Adam and
Eve throughout years Of character.
That God demonstrated on a daily basis.
Provision goodness, loving caring.
Everything. I mean, they had a plethora of
years of his character and one guy could show up And make him
make them question. Make them question. the
character of someone that they've had a relationship with,
Wow, is right. What do we learn here?
When one does not consult or when one does not want to
consult with the originator of the conversation, then they are
already on the road to Rebellion.
When one does not want. To converse with the originator
of the conversation, who is the originator of this conversation
that Satan has brought Adam and Eve into what's God said.
I he don't mean that you eat it, you won't die.
Why where's the originator? At does Adam know what God has
said, and obviously, because evil is able to articulate it.
And yet at this juncture, God's not invited to the conversation.
So when one does not want to consult with the originator of
the conversation then they have already, they're already on the
road to Rebellion. Why is this?
God is not asked to come meet because Adam wanted to sod with
what he was hearing from the Devil. now, in our society we
call this inquiring minds want to know Inquiring minds want to
know. So what happened, what happened?
When you met with Pastor, what took place?
What happened? When you met with your manager?
What took place, what happened when you met with the owner of
the company? What took place, what happened
when you met with your mom and dad, what took place?
They said what a man, that ain't right.
That ain't right, you shouldn't do what your manager says.
Seriously, they expect us to work like that, they expect you
to do that. They expect you Really your mom
won't let you go really? I mean, what's wrong with them?
Your pastor said, what? Your school said, teacher said,
what what did the police say to you?
What did that judge say? Well, they said that, ain't
right. Well, why don't we call them?
Now if your vision partner, you've heard me say this before
I said, if I go to Publix and somebody comes to me and begins
to tell me about you that I'll say, don't talk to me about
them, they're not here. Don't talk to me about them.
They're not here. How am I going to substantiate?
Everything you saying about them right now without them being in
the room. Think about it.
Adam has eaten the fruit and all the sudden their eyes are open
now, they know, Why is their eyes open?
They are stripped of their Dominion.
They handed over to the devil, they've lost their Dominion.
Now they are under the devil's control and power.
They become children of the devil, a different seed, their
Spirit dies, they begin to cover up.
That's what religion does. Oh, and Casey come, I mean, I
don't want to be exposed like this.
But then the Bible says, then they heard him.
Come now. How fast you think?
It took God to show up. It could have been the many he
went. The Lord says, huh, I gots to go
and the court, he heard him. Oh, he's coming, he's coming,
he's coming, he's coming. He's coming.
Adam, where are you? I heard you.
And I was naked. So I hid myself.
Now, who told you you were naked?
Did you eat the fruit that I told you not to heed?
Well, we think it took him a thousand years to show up.
God was relieving himself. Like the like Bell when Elijah
was dealing with the prophets of Baal, you know.
He's like, oh man, I'm gonna have to finish this so I can get
I heard something. It doesn't say how long but let
me ask you this question right now in this age?
How long would it take you to talk to God right now?
You have direct line to the throne room of God and Adam no
sin environment. How fast you think God could
have gotten on the scene. May I ask this question.
What would have happened if Adam would have asked God to come be
a part of the conversation with the Devil?
Wait a minute, don't don't eat that.
What? You're telling me that I'll be
like God knowing good and evil. We eat the fruit.
You're telling me that. Okay, I've not heard that
before. The meeting I had with him,
Louis totally different and everything, you're talking about
him right now is way different than what I've ever experienced.
So you know what I'm gonna do? Laura will you come down here?
Can you get involved in this conversation?
Because God, what would he have done?
He just would have came in and said, that's not what I said.
Son, you know what I said? Now, let me tell you what would
happen if this would have taken place.
God would not have done anything with the Devil.
Even if he'd been present in the garden.
Because he's already given Dominion to man.
How do I know this? Because God's already done this
with another man under the fall? When all of a sudden Here Comes
pharaoh, and his army coming after everybody while the hall,
the Israelites are pressed up against the Red Sea.
And the Moses is like of, they're all like you gonna get
us killed. You only brought us out here to
die. I can't believe your dad, this
and he's like, Lord, he said, you'll see the salvation of the
Lord Lord do something. He's like, why are you crying
out to me? Why are you talking to me?
I've already anointed you. I've already given you Authority
lift up your staff son. The same staff, they conquered
him and brought him Miracles, are bringing America here you do
what I've already given you Dominion to do.
So what would that has had in the garden son?
You know what I said? Or he might have said, son, I
did not say that. I'm truth.
So son. You need to do something about
that. And Adam could have said, you
get out of my garden and then had been and I saw Satan fall,
like, lightning from the Garden of Eden.
I mean, where does he go from there?
I don't know. I guess he goes straight to the
Lake of Fire that point, you know, and then we're done, it's
concluded. Finish over.
And I'd have been awesome but it didn't happen that way.
What am I saying? I'm saying that if you do not
get to the originator, Of a conversation when you're
conversing. You're subject to Rebellion.
This is why when I meet with married couples very rarely do I
meet with them isolated? especially if they're having
conflict because someone's always moving the opinion to
their favor, If I deal with divorced, couples, same thing.
They moved the opinion to their favor.
I side with one thing his word. Luke chapter 4, I want to look
at the Temptation Of Christ. We can see what Adam could have
done because Jesus Christ is called the last Adam Jesus
operating in the same Dominion, Adam lost.
He's the son of God wrapped in the flesh.
He came in the substitute for man.
He is, God all God, but also all man, and he is called the last
Adam. And so the every Miracle,
everything he performed in the four gospels fall within the
authority. The first Adam.
I'm lost in gave to the devil. I'm going to use two accounts of
this temptation of Christ, the Luke and Matthew account.
I'm going to keep it in the order of the Matthew account,
but I'm going to use Luke into of those particular Temptations.
Okay, we'll start in Luke 1 verses 1 through 4 Jesus full of
the Holy Spirit and we are in the age that we are full of the
Holy Ghost to returned from the Jordan and was led.
We are to be led by the spirit as well Jesus operated as a man.
In the earth, he had to be led by the spirit.
In the wilderness for 40 days, being tempted by the devil.
He was not tempted, one day, he was tempted every day.
Relentlessly. We just have a record of three
conversations. He ate nothing during those days
and when he they had ended he became hungry.
Now I will admit he was in an extreme weakened State
physically but spiritually. He was at the height of
strength. he goes on the devil then says this and the devil
said to him, if He's challenging his identity.
If you are the Son of God, not sure.
You are you thinking you are, but you really not.
But if you are, then you want that easily be able to do this.
Tell this Stone to become bread and Jesus answered him.
What did he say? It is written in essence.
I'm going to bring that into the conversation.
The originator of this conversation, was him and let me
bring him into the conversation. I'm going to say that again the
originator of what you're selling me to do.
I because these he's asking him to do things because God himself
perform Miracles with bread. Remember?
We called it Manna memory. Did it what?
Elijah, there's Miracle. So your hump man, son, if you
hungry is easy for God to manifest food, He said it is
written man. Shall not all caps mean.
This was somewhere in the old. Covenant was said, man shall not
live on bread alone. but, From every word that proceeds out of
the mouth of God. So his response was, let me
bring the conversation in of the original content, one who made
this conversation. He's going to be here with us
when we converse. The next one, we go to Matthews
account of this and Matthews account, chapter 4, verse 5 and
7 it says in the devil took him to a holy city and had him stand
on a pinnacle of the temple and sat him there.
And he said, if you are the Son of God, throw yourself down for,
it is what what'd he do? He use scripture.
See many will fall away from many will fall away because of
doctrines of demons demons. No scripture.
Not Riley /. They know it.
They know how to manipulate it. They know how to feed it into
your flesh. Feed it into your selfish,
ambition, feed it into your rebellion and cause you to get
into Pride. He said it's written man.
Since we talked inward here, we want to get into biblical debate
since we want to see who knows more Bible than anyone else
again. Who are the hypocritical, Liars,
the scholars. And who's a Pharisee of
Pharisees, who knows the word and can say the word and even
say the word that it could be lived by, but they don't do it
themselves. I must say that again because
I'm going to help you with discernment.
Don't hear what someone's saying.
See how someone's living what they're saying.
I had a particular instructor in Kingdom Institute that I knew
had some challenges with their own belief system.
I said now, listen, you teach this subject no promises, but
let me tell you something. As you're teaching this, all the
students are going to realize that you're not living what
you're saying. Because the environment around
you, the atmosphere around you is not doing what you're
preaching. You can't talk faith and
complain. And I like you not getting ahead
and act like you not getting something light, like some
problematic issue you are canceling out your teaching.
So how are you safeguarded out of Saint to know whether or not
the person that God has placed you under it and teaching you
deception? Are they actually living What
they're preaching. Is there evidence of it?
And I'm not talking Prosperity as evidence.
Although Prosperity can be an Evidence but that's not the only
issue. Be the fruits of the spirit
should be how they're handling situations is how they're
responding to other people. It's how they're trying to
safeguard and help and influence and and Minister and Safeguard
the flock and make sure people are hearing the word and and
preaching the word and being honest in correcting. and they
themselves being submitted and under, I mean, it's really easy.
But it's not easy for the one who wants power.
Does anyone who wants power? Get sucked up by somebody else
that wants power. But he gives him.
Scripture says it is written. He will command his angels
concerning you and on their hands, they will bear you up so
that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
But Jesus who knew how to rightly divide the word, Verse
7. He said, on the other hand it is
written. You shall not put the Lord, your
God to the test. Let me go ahead and bring God
into conversation to rightly divide the scriptures.
You're using in a wrong way. To try to manipulate me to do
something that God didn't ask me to do.
I'll do it. All right.
Luke chapter 4.
I said, Luke chapter 4, this is save your life.
Now if you're here just to listen to a lecture, you know,
or you hear like I'm good, I'm going to heaven when I die.
Well then you know you may be among the many, I don't want you
among the many I want you to be the ones who stay true to the
faith. but you will control that not, I Although, I may be a part
of the process of removing you, from the flock.
Because that can't happen. Luke chapter 4 verse 5 and 8 and
he led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
In a moment of Tom. And the devil said, I will give
you all this domain and its glory for it has been handed
over to me and I'll give it to whomever.
I wish, where did he get this from Adam in Genesis chapter 3,
this is where his domain his Dominion came from Verse 7.
Therefore if you worship before me, it shall be yours.
But Jesus answered. It is written.
You shall Worship the Lord your God and serve him.
I will not make you. My God.
I will not bow. My knee to you.
I bring God in on the conversation.
The originator. The one who originally gave
Dominion in the first place. He said it was going to be man.
That's why I'm in this skin suit in the first place because it's
going to take a man to get it back.
Because if God could have got a linear the way, there's no
reason for Jesus to come, in fact, Jesus, even asked him in
the garden of, is there another way, because if there is, let's
do it that way. But if not, not my will but your
will be done. Because at the end of the day,
you are the way the truth, the life, your words, final Doing it
your way, and we're doing it this way.
Just so man can have access to be back in the position that you
originally created them. We have no guarantee that they
will actually accept me as Lord, but I'm doing it according to
your word because you said that you would have a man, you would
have man in your image according to our likeness and let them
have dominion and now I'm opening the door for all
Humanity from Adam. All the way through who would
ever want to call on your name to have access again to your
kingdom. Be a child of God to submit to
your word to you, to you to Humble themselves by only
obeying, what you say cuz you have words alive.
And I'm going to be the example of what that looks like.
Even death on the cross. All the while saying, on the
third day, I'm coming out the Holy Ghost going to get me
because I never should have died, I laid down my life, I
became sin, so that man. Could have that and because he
did that, he died and Rose. And because we can call on the
name of the Lord and be saved. In that Spirit of the man in us.
That was dead in Rebellion. Didn't want to do God.
Constantly and pride. Constant Pride, I do it my way.
This is what I'm gonna do. Who gonna tell me what to do, I
ain't gonna listen to that. I ain't nobody telling me
nothing. I don't submit to nobody.
Prod. I'm gonna do, I'll give to this
person and I'll do this and I'll get my money where I want to
give. It ain't nobody telling me where
to get my money. Ain't nobody telling me how to
help somebody. I'll determine who I help.
I know what's good. I'll do it.
Oh, you know the definition of good God.
Don't know what now? Well he's gonna have to accept
me. It's good enough.
What I'm doing is good enough. And The Audacity Of influential
people saying well how can a good god throw people in hell he
doesn't, they willfully. Go.
They willfully disobey him there in Pride.
I just couldn't serve that. That's Pride because you think
you have Justice more than God has Justice.
You think you can rule the case, hire me seriously who has the
greatest vantage point of everything going on.
Like where are you going to go that the Lord ain't hearing
this? I mean, where are you hiding
that you're texting scene, where you hiding at your emails?
Ain't found? Where are you hiding that your
conversations are being recorded in heaven?
I mean, really, where you at? Where are you at?
You think you can mock God in your sin and it not find you
out. I mean where we at he's from the
greatest bands but yet will at like will make judgment calls
about situation with very limited information.
And will you scripture to do it? Because all of us, if we don't
watch out by keeping a pure heart and we don't come back
with wait a minute. Now, wear this This conversation
is getting a little crazy. They're not enough people in the
room for me to entertain this conversation.
We missing some pieces. That may be factual that all
that, but I don't know if there's other context here.
And I'm not going to run into the problem of making judgment
calls based upon limited information.
I have literally told husbands, That's fun.
Maybe your wife's doing all that, I don't know, she's not in
the room but I can tell you this you can do this as a husband
period because the scripture says it and so it really doesn't
matter what she's doing. You should do this.
Can't help you with any additional stuff because she's
not here. Because every testimony of a
person is right. If they're the only one
testified. Even the Bible says the word of
a prophet seems right? To other prophets, getting a
room to judge it. How do you combat it?
Make sure you're out of deception, 2nd, Corinthians
chapter 10, verses 3 through 6. This is the test passion
translation. It says for, although we live in
the natural realm, we do not wage a military campaign
employing, human weapons using manipulation to achieve our aim.
Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized by divine power,
to effectively dismantle, the defense's behind which people
hide. We can demolish every deceptive.
And to see that opposes God and break through every arrogant
attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true.
Knowledge of God, we capture like a prisoner of war, every
thought, say every thought, say every thought and insist.
That it bow in obedience to the anointed one, we insist That it
bounced through the end the anointed one.
We insist that it bounced to The Obedience of the anointing.
When wait a minute. What are you saying right now?
What did I hear right now? How does this in context to what
God Said, know what you gonna do is you gonna bow To what it is
written right now. That's what you gonna do.
You gonna bow David himself had this issue as a king.
He knows that he's anointed of God.
He knows he's being wrongly pursued.
He knows that he's being wrongly, tried.
He knows the king of authority is in.
Has Injustice concerning his cause?
He has only been faithful. He has followed God, he has done
everything, good for the nation. And now he's being treated like
a murderer and thereafter his life.
And here he is with a band of people hiding in a cave and Saul
shows up to relieve himself and they are back there saying, this
is God God man. He has delivered your enemy into
your hands, my gosh man. If there's ever been a day to be
victorious, this right now, go take him out, David we can go
home, we can live life, we can quit being pursued, you know,
this guy's wrong David, sneaks up.
Cuts his coat steps. Back many, he pulls a knife and
starts cutting guilt. He's like, man.
Who am I to judge the anointed? And you don't, you don't touch
what God's anointed by God, even though he's out, man.
I know he could maybe get right repents something.
Who am I to take Vengeance on? I mean if God wants this thing
he going to have to do this deal.
Now which I'm about an old Covenant, he goes and he King
you were here Coulda. They said I should have but I
didn't why? Because I brought somebody else
in on the conversation later on. David would use that when in
Saul's death and they said I was there, I killed him.
He said, how were you not afraid to touch God's anointed?
kill this man, the audacity and by All rights God had in acted,
Justice killed the corrupt King removed him from power and
allowed David to step in but David even then says you don't
take this life You're not going to sit around and brag and think
you're going to take credit for that.
How many people are slaying other people with their words?
Touch and other anointed Saints without ever having them in on
the conversation yet. He what did he do?
He said no, you'll bow down to The Obedience of Christ.
The anointed one, I'm not going to kill this man on my own.
I will not take Vengeance myself.
So imma throw that down. I'm not going to do this.
I'm not going to talk about them, I'm putting that down.
I'm not going to be offended at that.
I'm taking I'm putting that down.
No, I have. I understand they wronged me, I
get it. But you know what, I forgive
them. I cast that down.
I bounce your penis as much as God's forgiving me and you think
I'm gonna walk around and tell everybody how they done me
wrong. And how they did this out of
your, I ain't doing that. I, that will bow.
Who am I? You ain't gonna find me running
out of this place, and finding the next person done, me wrong
and hold them accountable. Because when I look back at what
God did for me, and when he says this guy, he forgave him all
that debt. And then he went and grabbed the
guy that the only oh, today's wage and threw him in jail.
You can forget that junk, I win my forgiver.
You go. That's all you going to bow to
the obedience. No, I'm going to love my wife
like Christ. Loved the church.
That's what I'm doing. I've just you going to bow to
the ob. I am not going to let this cut
my relationship off with her. Not gonna do it.
I'm gonna stay in this position. Ultimately, she gonna have to
come together and get her own Epiphany with God, but I'm gonna
do this thing, right? Or vice versa.
You know what? I'm going to work.
God, didn't tell me to go. Didn't tell me to leave.
You know what? I understand, they're picking on
me. I understand her talking.
I am not going to do it. I am just going to show up.
I'm going to work. I'm going to be faithful.
I'm gonna walk enjoy. I will put that down.
You are not gonna jump on my back depression, and I'm going
to carry it around all day and active press, like the rest of
the world. Know you going to bow to the
obedience. So, the anointed one I'ma have
Joey. I might have joy in the Holy
Ghost, this is how you don't goes.
Here's the thing. If you will allow things that,
you know, scripturally or not, right?
Then you will condition yourself to be deceived as long as you
continue to make an excuse, that you can't be delivered by the
word, then in whatever area, you're not allowing the word to
deliver you. It will ultimately overtake you
in every area of your life. since we are armed with such
Dynamic weapon tree, we stand ready to punish any trace of
rebellion as soon as you choose complete, obedience, meaning I
choose to be obedient Whatever comes to attack me I'm like you
going down. You've come to mess with the
wrong person because I have somebody that has a perspective
right now. And here's the thing about his
perspective, he actually doesn't have to give me all of his
details. You don't have to do it.
Let me ask this question. What private meeting doesn't
involve God? What private meeting doesn't
involve God? I'm just going to bring God into
the conversation right now. Based upon that fault that you
just threw at me. And what I'm going to do is say
what do I do? Because your words final I
refuse to be deceived. He said we'll do it this way.
You will bow. I'm not going to act that way.
Not going to do it. How do I know that?
I'm maturing because I become fast at putting on the word.
I'm not in the house. 36 hours ticked off.
I don't go three or four days, not talking to somebody at work
or my spouse or my kids. I find myself being able to
apply that word very fast, Shake It Off, even in my shaking.
Because I've told my wife, I said, look, she'll what's wrong
with you? I said, look, I'm going to be
all right. We'll be alright, it's gonna be
alright. I got this.
You. All right, I got this.
It's it's gone. It's I'm talking Faith but it's
like the atmosphere is like trying and you're you're you
know, you're doing the casting you're like You, all right.
Yeah, I'm good. Babe, this is awesome.
I mean, this is what it's looking like.
You're casting your cares on the Lord.
You're not taking the thought. You're not letting the
deception, stay your knowing it is written but if you don't know
the Bible didn't you won't know as it is written and you become
prey but we'll get to that next week.
And I conclude, what Hebrews 5:13.
Verse 14 for everyone who partakes, only of milk is not
accustomed to the word of righteousness or he is an
infant. But solid food is for the mature
who because of practice have their senses trained to discern,
Good and Evil. if you do not qualify, according to Hebrews
5:14, you're gonna have a very difficult time at the End of the
Age, difficult. now, for those that were in the military like
myself, we were trained. We were trained to respond to a
word. They called it orders.
We were trained to respond to the word to act immediately.
They didn't just say now do what we say?
They actually made us do what they say many times.
It started the day. We got the basic after our plush
in processing, And we moved over to the place that we would
actually begin training and the drill sergeants or whatever
Branch you were in showed up on your bus.
And they begin to say things like, get off this bus.
Get your junk. Get down on your face.
Give me ten push-ups. Get on your back.
Constantly. Put your bed together like this.
This is how your wall Locker looks.
This is what you're going to wear.
This is what you're going to eat.
And we trained ourselves and trained ourselves and trained
ourselves. And then they tested us with
evil. It usually happens at Night.
Watch. Do not let nobody in these
Barracks. I don't care if the commander of
the fort shows up. If you do not get this password,
you don't let nobody in. Do you understand private?
Yes. Drill, sergeant 2:00. and
whatever, you know, we were saying And you're listening.
And they're trying to get in there talking, I even can
recognize the voice. Now, let me just talk about
voices real quick, because it's not just the tone of the voice
that authenticates a person, we have people who can do
impersonations. Oh, shut up that they can sound
like in fact, my own son Chase for whatever reason is pretty
close to my voice and when he's here in the office sometimes
he'll say something and they'll think it's me, he definitely did
this upstairs. One day was been a running joke
with them. Them.
He said something and one of the employees like yes, sir.
And they're like, oh, is it resorted to that?
But they thought it was me. Coming up the stairs.
It was not what authenticates, the voice.
The word that it's saying. You're telling me you're that
person, you're saying, you want in, but you're not giving me the
word that authorizes it. And I was trained.
That it doesn't matter. How much they beat, how much
they threatened you, don't let them in until you get the
phrase. No phrase, no entry.
But if you haven't been trained, then any phrase enters you.
And that phrase will hold you captive and take you to
deception. But Jesus has trained us and
tells us very emphatically how this works.
It is written just bring God into the conversation.
Now, naturally, sometimes you may have to bring people into
conversation. If you're getting in a
conversation wanting to say, well, you might to bring
someone. So in here to have this
conversation, I'm not even gonna listen to you.
So, waste my time, especially if that conversation is trying to
make someone look away. That's contrary to what, you
know. And they're unwilling to bring
them in for that to take place. That's the problem.
I said that's a problem. Alleluia.
Jesus died and Rose. So that we could be born of him.
Have the ability to hear. Get out of the pride.
We were actually always in and learn how to stay out of it.
And in turn will be eternally, blessed.
