I I feel like a lot of us don't realize that when we come together in worship that the Lord is the Lord is here and he is ready to heal, help, and save. The Lord is good and he's rich unto all of those who call upon his name. And when we come when we come together in his name, there he is. And he's ready to reach out and he's ready to bless us. He's ready to move today. Are we ready? When we come in the house of the Lord, we need to be ready for the move of the Lord. We need to come in expecting the Lord to move in our lives. Amen. Praise God. That's just what I'm feeling the Lord saying today. I feel like the Lord is saying, "Get ready. Get ready." He wants to bless. He wants to heal, help, and save us today. Amen. Amen. Cuz he is good and his mercy endures forever. Amen. Amen. Thank God. Amen. Praise the Lord. Bless you, Jesus. Let's give the Lord another hand clap up right. [applause] Amen.

the bathrooms and since we moved in here and they just won't fix it. I'm just going to tell you what's Paul's last name? Oh, I'm know I'm going to say it. It's the slum lord. Sander. Paul Sanders. Don't rent from him if you live in this area. He's a slum lord and he will not fix stuff. he's a cheapkate and he just won't do it. So having said that, I don't really care. [laughter] Truth is the truth. You know, you rent from somebody, they're supposed to fix the major problems that you have with a house or a building or whatever. And that's part of being a renter. I thank God that's coming to a close here pretty soon. But yes, praise God. Go ahead and praise God for that. [applause] Hallelujah. All right, let's get to the word since y'all know that if y'all have to run down to Burger King, like if you just can't hold it. But Rotorooer is on the way. dare rains a little bit and toilets won't flush. Something else in America shouldn't happen. I want you to turn with me in your Bibles real quick and we're going to second Timothy chapter 4. And I'm sorry I'm It just irritates me especially when they triple the rent and still won't fix things. Yeah, it's been years. It's been years. But anyway, [sighs] God help us. Just hold on if you got to go. Just hold on. Paul told Timothy this. And again, I think in America, especially American churches, we read over stuff and we think, well, that's he's talking to somebody else, but not us. But he said this to Timothy, and I believe it's by the Holy Spirit, and it's to us, especially in these last days. And he said, "I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing in his kingdom, preach the word." Somebody say, "Preach the word." Preach the word, not your opinions, not what you learn in seminary, not traditions of men, not doctrines of men. Preach the word. Be instant in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears. They shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned into fables. I don't think we've ever seen a time that there's been more fables being told. But I want to show you something before we go to Matthew. I want you to go to Genesis chapter 3. going all the way back to Genesis chapter 3. I want to show you how Satan works just so you remember. And you can put my title slide up this morning, too. I've entitled this dangerous end time error. If you don't recognize those people up there, that's John Bevere, Perry Stone, and this the new cat on the street, the new flavor of the month, Josh Howardon, which I haven't known too much about, but I had to look into him a little bit. There's going to be a reason I'm bringing them up, and I'm very disappointed in this guy, right here, because they just did a podcast together, John Bevere and Josh Howard, 1.1 million views as of now.
complete and total error. And it's it probably, you know, 20 years ago, I could probably let this slide with him. But where we are now in the scheme of things when it comes to end time Bible prophecy, I can't let it slide anymore. And I happened to notice I don't know. I got tagged on something. You know, people do these stupid things on social media. Well, who's your favorite pastor? Right. And somebody put me down. Well, thank you. Praise God for that. But I don't really care. But I started just looking down through because I'm like, let me see who's getting named the most. Just out of curiosity, this guy. I said, who is this guy? And what does he teach? What does he believe? Because he's obviously real popular. So, I had to start looking into it because their podcast kept popping up about the rapture. And I was like, "All right, well, all right. Let me look into this." Well, I started looking into it last night and this morning, and I'm get more disturbed by the moment. But you need to understand when it says sound doctrine, sound doctrine, the way you come across sound doctrine is you must compare scripture with scripture from Genesis to Revelation. If you take any topic, I don't care what it is, the rapture and the second coming of Jesus, you take any doctrine like that, eternal security, once saved, always saved or not, you take the truth of the word, you don't establish any doctrine off of one verse, one passage, one idea. You have to systematically go through the Bible and see what it says on that topic and put it all together. And if the pieces don't fit, then you have something wrong. But if it all fits together, then you have the topic in context. This is called hermeneutics. Okay, basic hermeneutics. Okay, this is not deep stuff here where you know we have to you know, you have to go get a rocket science degree to figure this out. You take it all and you get how it all works together and then you have the context. Well, see this is how Satan works. Now, let's go to Genesis 3 and we're going to I'm going to just establish kind of a way he does it because the first lie he ever told was that you can disobey God and still be okay with God. All right? And this is what he says. Now, now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yay, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden." And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the garden, of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden. God has said, "Ye shall not touch it, neither shall ye you shall not eat it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die." And the serpent said unto the woman, "Ye shall not surely die." Now see, God told them if they eat it, they die. Now remember, and I've established this a few weeks ago, that death is never in the Bible means does it ever mean to cease to exist or to annihilate, to destroy, like you don't exist anymore. Death simply means separation from God who is life. That's what it means. That's why God had to make a place called hell because there had to be a place of total separation. If people chose sin and wickedness and rebellion, there had to be a place where there would be eternal separation. So, eternal death or eternal damnation is just eternal separation from God. Now, in that eternal separation, according to how you lived, there will be degrees of punishment there.
And the Bible lays that out pretty clearly as well. But the devil introduced this idea. His his greatest and first deception is to convince you that you can live in sin, disobedience to God, rebellion, practice wickedness, what God calls wickedness, and that you will not surely die or be separated from God forever. So you can have the best of both worlds. Right? This is what Satan taught Eve and got her to eat of the tree. See, the trick was she felt secure in her position with God regardless of her behavior. What does that sound like? Once saved, always saved. the doctrine preached in every Baptist church, every Presbyterian church, a bunch of goodness, all kinds of churches. And remember what we just read, Paul warned Timothy the time would come, meaning I believe toward the end of the age, because chapter three, right before that, he talks about in the last days, perilous times will come. Then he gives us chapter four and he says the time's going to come that they're going to heap to themselves teachers. Heap means a lot, right? They're going to heap to themselves. Teachers having itching ears. Meaning things they want to hear. People want to hear. It's okay. I'm okay with God's still okay with me even though I'm a practicing fornicator. God's okay with me even though I'm a practicing adulterer. God's okay with me even I'm a practicing drunkard. I mean, there are people out there that actually believe like people like Hitler went to heaven because God just loves everybody so much. No, your behavior, your choices will determine your eternal destination. Amen. And this is one of the this is one of the foundational doctrines of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Will you be jud when you're judged? Will you be determined to have lived a righteous, godly, obedient life, surrendered to Jesus, or have you been a lukewarm Christian living in sin, thinking you're once saved, always saved that's going to be vomited out of the body of Christ? Jesus spoke to the church of Leodysia and said,"I know your works. I know you're neither hot nor cold. You're not all the way against me, but you're not all the way on fire from me either. You're right in the middle. You're lukewarm." And he says, "If you're lukewarm, I'm going to, you know, the King James is nice about it. Spoo thee." It means to vomit. And what that is a picture of is that you are in the Lord's body. Guess what? There's only one way to be in the body of Christ. It's not church attendance. It's not baptism. It's not singing in the choir. You must be born again at some point. And if you are truly born again at some point, believing in Jesus and having surrendered to him at some point, then you are baptized into the body of Christ by the water and blood that flowed from his side. That's why the thief on the cross didn't have to be water baptized. that he was in paradise immediately after his death with Jesus. Okay? So Jesus is saying if you're a lukewarm Christian, Leodysia, you make me sick and I'm going to vomit you out of the body. There is no such thing as once you're saved, you're always saved, no matter how you live. But guess what? Put my buddies up again. He teaches once- saved always saved as well as we're going to talk about it. I said dangerous end time error once saved always saved and the pre-trip rapture.
This these two doctrines together in this time are extremely dangerous. And I'm going to show you why second. But let's keep reading this. Serpent said what? She said, "God said, if we touch it, we die." Serpent said, "No, you shall not surely die. For God doth know, in the day you eat thereof, your eyes shall be open. You shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, the tree desired to make one wise, she took thereof, and did eat. And also her husband with her did eat. And their eyes were opened, and they knew they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made aprons. And what' they do? go and try to hide from God because the conscience immediately kicks in. Oh, the devil tricked me. Nope. I have spiritually and I believe too at that moment they spiritually died. Their spiritual life that was connected to God was cut off at that moment. And what they also did was [laughter] handed Satan the legal deed to the earth. God had given them dominion over the earth, not Satan. It had been taken from him pre previously, and I explained that, you know, I've talked about that before. But when they chose to obey him to listen to the serpent, they basically handed him legal authority over the earth and humankind. Which is why Jesus had to come back and live a sinless life, but yet pay the penalty of death. He had to die and then go down there and take back the keys of hell and death. Amen. And the only way you and I partake in that is you have to not just believe in Jesus, you have to follow Jesus. This stuff about I can be a believer but I don't follow him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Follow him means your whole life, every decision, everything. So Eve got tricked. Now, let's go to 2 Corinthians real quick. We're going to go all over the Bible here. All right, that 2 Corinthians 11. He said this in verse one. He said, "Would to God that you would bear with me." And Paul writing again by the Holy Spirit to Christians to the church of Corinth. He said, "I would to God that you could bear with me a little in my folly and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chasteed virgin to Christ. So Paul's saying my job I'm trying to get present you to Jesus as part of his bride. That's my job. I'm trying to get you there. Okay. He said, "But I fear one thing." Somebody say, "One thing Paul feared." Paul feared. He didn't fear death. He didn't fear persecution. He didn't fear the king, the emperor, no one. But one thing he feared, he said, I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Some translations say that from simple devotion to Jesus, he's saying just like Satan got Eve, I fear he's going to get you.
And remember, let's remember about Adam and Eve. They were new creatures. They were sinless at that point before they listened to the devil and obeyed him. They were new creatures. They were sinless. They were in a perfect environment. They talked to God every day. He came and visit them in the evening. They had a relationship with God. They were new creatures. And they were living holy lives. What does that sound like to you? Sounds like salvation, doesn't it? It sounds like being born again. It sounds like being a new creature in Christ Jesus. And they chose. That's why Paul told these Christians, "I fear less by any means like he got Eve, he's going to get you." And he's subtle about it. And he knows how to play on your fears and on your fleshly desires and on your desire for a false sense of security. That's what he always play. That's how we lose our freedoms here in this country. Always the promise of peace and safety, security, if you'll just give up a little bit of your freedom, right? And the devil's like, "Oh, hey, you're free to do this and you're safe while you do it." That's his trick. It's nothing new under the sun. It's what our politicians do. It's what all people do when they are trying to deceive people, when they're trying to mislead people. And remember what Satan did here, too. And this is what I want to point out. To deceive a Christian or someone walking with God, you have to mix some truth in with your lie to make it seem credible. And that's what he does every single time. Now, let's go to this verse, this passage. And this I mean this is stuff I wrote in my book grace abuse in 1997 98. I was writing at 97 published at 98. But go to second Peter chapter 2. He warns of false prophets and teachers. Now what's a false prophet? Let me give you a simple definition of a false prophet. That's a false predictor. And there hadn't been any more false predictors than these people that keep trying to predict the preerttrib rapture were happening. I have watched it now for 40 years, people get it wrong over and over and over and over again. Matter of fact, anybody gives you a date, a week, a month, a year, and oh, the rapture is going to happen. You can guarantee it's not. You could put you could put move all your money and assets right in on that bet. [laughter] I'll bet you the farm it's not happening on that day. Right? Why? Because Jesus said no man knows the day or the hour. Right? Now listen to this. He said this. He says verse chapter 2 verse one. But there were false prophets also among the people. Even as there shall be false teachers among you who privy, secretly, stealthily, I don't even know if that's word, but it's a dean word now. Stealthily, right, creep in shall bring in what? Damnable heresies. What does that mean? false
teachings, deceptions that will lead you to eternal damnation. They're going to sneak them in. These false teachers and false predictors, they're going to sneak them in. And who are they after? They're not after the unsaved. The devil's already got the unsaved. He ain't after them. He's after you. He's after me. He wants us to fall away. He wants to make us shipwrecked. He says here, "These false teachers who are among you will who will privy shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction." Now, the word denying just simply means they don't have to say, "Oh, I reject Jesus." But if they reject his teaching, oh, I believe in Jesus, but I don't believe in hell. Well, Jesus taught about hell. And Jesus said, "If you if you don't accept me and what my words, oh, y'all are quiet as a bunch of Episcopals [gasps] until the wine comes out." And then he says this, "And many shall follow." Look at this, right? Verse two, many, somebody say many. Many, many shall follow their pernitious or destructive ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Meaning, anybody like me that speaks the truth, these many will just hate you. You know why? Let me say something. who's got a who's got a jacket that they're not wearing? Or wait a minute. Hold on. What is that right there? Yeah, let me see that. All right. This is Pastor Troy's [laughter] most important comforting little bunny. And so [laughter] he's feels more secure and safe. That's his safe place with little bunny, right? That he's secure no matter how he lives his life. And that he's going to get out of here before the bad stuff happens. Two false doctrines. So if someone like me comes along and tells the truth and snatches little bunny away and it needs to be snatched away, [laughter] then I'm the bad guy. Ain't that right? So then say, "Look that bunny snatcher. He's bad. He's a He's a bad man." Right? He snatched my little bunny away and I don't feel safe and secure anymore. You know what? You should feel the fear of the Lord. Amen. By the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. Somebody has to come along and tell you the truth that's going to snatch your little your little binky away, your little blankie, your little bunny, and make you wake up and go, you know what? One day, I'm going to stand before God to give an account of my life. Yes, he's my father. And I've I've explained this so many times. He is my father, but he will also one day be my judge. And he will set aside his fatherhood of me for a second because he has to judge me according to the law, his word. And he will not be biased just because he loves me. He will not be biased just because I have been his son.
He will judge me accordingly. He will judge me by this book and by how I lived my life. And some Christians are going to hear the words, "Depart from me, ye cursed into everlasting fire." Christians, there are Christians that are going to hear this. Born again Christians. I'm not talking about fake Christians. I'm not talking about people think they're Christians and they're not. I'm talking about there are some bornagain Christians who will be vomited out of the body of Christ because of living a lukewarm compromised sinful life. He goes on to say that through covetousness verse three through covetousness shall they with feigned or false deceptive words make merchandise of you. They're going to get you to buy their books and their podcast and their memberships to get the inside scoop. I get so I'm so sick of all that mess. Through covetous they will with false words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingerth not, and their damnation slumberereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into the chains of darkness, to be reserved into judgment, and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that afterward should live ungodly, and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation or behavior. Savior of the wicked. For that righteous man dwelling among them, seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day. The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust until the day of judgment to be punished. He says, "But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government or authority. Presumptuous are they self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. He says, and then he goes on. Now, I want to jump down because he tell he talks about the characteristics of all these false teachers, but he he ends it with this about them. He says verse 18, for when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure. What are they doing? Alluring. What does that mean? Seducing, drawing, right? with great swelling words of vanity through much wantedness, meaning just they tap into your fleshly desires. And it says those that were clean. Who are they who are they after? Who are they getting? Who are they alluring? Those who were clean. Somebody say were clean. Were clean. Means you were and you're not now because you're following these fools. You understand? And I don't care how many seminary degrees they have. They could be the blind leader of the blind. Goes on to say, right, that they are alluring those who were clean escape from them who live in error while they promised them liberty. Here's your freedom in Christ. You can [clears throat] you're free. Basically, again, once saved, always saved. Eternal security. whatever you want to call it, is a license to sin. It's it's you can do what you want and you get out of jail free. Okay? And that's what it is. So they promise you liberty while they themselves, it says, are
servants of corruption, meaning they are slaves to their sin. In fact, that's why you find out that most of these guys that preach this stuff end up in massive scandals. Put my put my buddies back up here again. Now, this one right here preaches again the preacher rapture error and emphatically. But again, what was he called in a few years ago? Yep. Adultery, inappropriate contact with employees. I mean just horrific, right? We've seen this kind of stuff with Mike Bickl and who was the guy in Chicago, Bill Hibles of Yeah. Willow Creek, the big mega church. and I'm just going to just Can I tell you something right now? Can I be frank? This one I just feel I guess I'm feeling refreshed from vacation and I'm just letting it loose. [laughter] I hate megaurches. Hate, double hate, loathe entirely. Me and the Grinch agree on that right there. Right? [laughter] And he says this. He says, "While they promised them liberty, they themselves are servants of corruption. For of whom a man is overcome, the same he has brought in bondage." Now listen to this next passage as close. Especially if you believe you're once saved, always saved, no matter how you live. The Bible says this, "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." So how do you escape the pollutions of the world? How are your sins ever forgiven? How are they washed away? How are the pollutions of the world washed away? Unless you were at one time born again and the blood of Jesus washed you when you believed that he died for you, rose from the dead and you surrendered your life to him. So he says, "For if after," somebody say, "After." After they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and they are again entangled therein, meaning they go back to their old life of sin, and overcome, meaning they die in it, they stay in it, they never come out of it. It says, the word says here, they are entangled therein and overcome. the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than after they have known it to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb. The dog has turned to his own vomit again and the sow or pig that was washed to wallowing in the mire. So he's saying they were washed but they went back to wallowing in the mire. Somebody say went back. Went back. You have a free will. I don't care what the Calvinists tell you. They're liars. You have a free will and you can choose to follow Jesus or to go back at any point. You can choose that. That's why the devil is after you because he wants to get you to choose to go back with him. He's a jealous psycho ex-boyfriend girlfriend type. He just can't let you go. And if you go over to second Peter chapter 3, he says this in verse 17, just ending the letter to him. He says, "You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also being led away with the error of the wicked fall from your own steadfastness.
In fact, the whole book of second Peter is a warning about falling away [snorts] from chapter 1 through chapter 3. All right. Now, somebody say, "So, let's put up this guy. This guy Josh Howardon is pastor at Lake Point Church in Rock Wall." I think it's the church building that Larry Lee used to be in. Actually, this right here, I just said Josh Howardon on eternal security. I just wanted to know. I didn't even know. I didn't know. Here's what it says. Pastor Josh Howardon teaches that true salvation cannot be lost because salvation belongs to God. Framing the issue around whether God can lose a Christian. Does the Bible say anything about this? But see, they love to twist things and come up with their little phrases. I notice he's doing the little 666 thing, too. But maybe that's an accident. Does the fact that I keep on sinning mean I'm not saved? And then of course he goes, "No." Here's the thing. I'm not saying Christian doesn't sin. But the Bible's very clear on that there are sins unto death and sins not unto death. And if you practice habitually the sins that are listed unto death, then you will not inherit the kingdom of God. So let's let's see. If Mr. Howton is right here, let's let's go and look at if I keep on sinning, let's let's answer that question. So, go to guys, put up Galatians 5 verse 19. I'm having fun today. Why? Truth set you free. Truth will set you free. Sound doctrine will set you free. Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these. And he tells you works of the flesh. Somebody say work. Work. Somebody say, "Well, you're talking about earning your salvation." No. If I'm an adulterer and I quit committing adultery, how is quitting something a work? I cease doing it. I'm just sitting here now. I'm not making hotel reservations and all the other things I have to do to have an affair. See, that's why committing adultery is work, right? But if I repent, I quit it, I'm not working. That's why it's the works of the flesh. Well, guess what? If you live in the works of the flesh, you're going to get the wages of sin, which is death, which is separation from God. Y'all are getting it. Now, the works of the flesh are manifest are real, revealed, which are these adultery, fornication. Okay, fornication is the word that just all sexual liberality, homosexuality, beastiality, pedophilia, everything's in that word. uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, varianings, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like for the which I tell you before, as I've also told you in times past, that they which do Greek word press to practice habitually such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. So Josh Howton is teaching a dangerous doctrine that Satan started in the Garden of Eden and he has continued that doctrine. Now, now think about this. When he said many will follow their ways, the vast majority of what you what would call themselves the church in America, this is how they live. That's why you got Freemasons as elders of churches and everything else
practicing witchcraft, taking oaths, ordained as elders and deacons. The church is so the western church is so backsliden from God and from his word and from sound doctrine. Here's the thing though. They don't even know it because they don't read their Bibles and they're inundated now on social media with the many and they can heap to themselves teachers that will tell them whatever they want to hear. Well, I don't like this church. I go shopping for another one. Well, I hope they're preaching the truth cuz you're going to die and go to hell in some of these churches. Most of them actually. Go to let's do 2 Corinthians 6 just so we make sure we get the homosexual issue in there. down to verse 9. I think it is 10, 11, 12. Which one? No, second. Second Corinthians 6. I can't remember what verse it is. Know ye not. Where is it? Hold on. I guess I'll have to turn there. I can't remember now. 69. Okay, here we go. No, that's not it. I'm sorry. It's my fault. First Corinthians. That's what it is. My mind why I'm on second Corinthians in my head, but First Corinthians nine. Yes. Like I know something's wrong here. Here we go. Know ye not. I knew it was know ye not. All right. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not. Someone say not. Not. Inherit the kingdom of God. Be not deceived. So wait a minute. He says, "The unrighteous mean he's talking to Christians mean those who live an unrighteous life. Know ye not the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolattors, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, catamites, boy lovers, pedophiles, homosexuals, abusers of the selves of mankind, means sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. Ain't no such thing as a Christian homosexual. If they are, they're on their way to hell. Amen. They must repent and stop that sin. Get out of it. And repentance is this. Y'all want to know a quick definition? What is it? Admit it and quit it. If you want to know what repentance means, metaninoia, change your mind and actions. Right? This is serious. Now, let's go to where I want to get to. That was just your introduction. All right. So, now we go to Matthew. Yeah. Can you Explain revelers. Yeah, revelers. Donnie asked if I could explain re revelers just means drunken partying with loud music. Kind of like every way I lived in college every day of the week, right? [snorts] Blasting lustfilled music, satanic field music, rebellionfilled music while you're getting drunk, high, whatever. That's what reing is. So there you have it. So, I'm just getting tipsy listening to the band play Highway to Hell and I'm enjoying it. That's reveling. All right. You like that, didn't you? All right.
Matthew 24. Now that Now it's going to make sense to you why. And let's put up put up my slide for me. My title slide just real quick. You're going to see why dangerous end time error. Once saved, always saved. The teaching of eternal security that I just covered a little bit. That teaching that you can live however you want, that you're eternally secure no matter what as a Christian is, like I said, from the Garden of Eden on. So, it's not like it's new, but and it's not like it's just an end time deception. It's been a millennia of deception, right? But when you couple it with you're going to get out of here at the end the end times, the church is going to be raptured before the tribulation, before the antichrist comes, before the mark of the beast and all that. When you hear that coupled with you're once saved, always saved no matter what. Then you start believing, and I've had Christians tell me this. I've had pastors tell me this, that you can take the mark of the beast if you're a Christian. You're not going to go to hell. Right? And let's and let's I know I'm jumping around, but let's go to Revelation 14:9. And what is the mark of the beast? Right? We know the mark of the beast will be an implant of some kind mandated implant in your hand or in your brain in your forehead. The Bible says that will control all buying and selling. And we're almost there. I'm I'm going to tell you I almost did this for today, but I dug into some research on artificial intelligence or robots. the ro they're building robot armies, y'all. Robot armies and the data centers are going to be running the armies. That's why they need them everywhere and particularly in the south because they know the south's going to be a problem. That's why they want to build them all over Georgia and Alabama. And that's another one. But he says the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if any man, somebody say if any man, if any man worship the beast. What is the beast? The beast is the antichrist system that is we see all around us now. Okay. Someone who worships it meaning that they bow to it. They submit to it. They accept it. -uh. We're told to resist it, to expose it, to speak against it. It's why I'm against data centers because it's building this technological prison. But it says here, "The third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night who worship the beast in his image and whosoever receives the mark of his name. So whosoever or if any man you hear those words that means born again or not born again if you take that mark in your hand or forehead and it's coming really soon. If you take that the Bible says there is no coming back from that. The moment you do that, it is separation from God. There is no forgiveness. Everybody said, "Oh, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, that's the only unforgivable sin." No, it's not. We hear these things. That's another doctrines of men, traditions of men. No, the mark of the beast is one of the unpardonable sins once you take it. So, here's you mix that together, right?
Once saved, always saved. And then you got people who if they're so staunchly preerttrib rapture that the church is going to be the Christians are going to be taken out of here before the antichrist before the mark of the beast before the a lot of the bad stuff happens right and you tell them that what happens if they're still here when this is being passed out and they think well the rapture was supposed to happen before this so This can't be the mark of the beast. Maybe it's just like another credit card. Go ahead, sign me up. Implant. And it doesn't matter anyway because I'm eternally secure. No matter how I live, God understands. I got to go to Walmart and get my stuff. No, God doesn't understand. He understands. He's already told you what to do with this. He's already told you it's coming 2,000 years before and it's all being done right now. It's all being mapped out. It's all being scaled out. In fact, you know, our brother right here is running for mayor of Auburn back here. But I can tell you right now that me running for governor and a lieutenant governor and all the politicians I have been around in Alabama for the last what five years or so, clueless individuals. Right now, I don't know that about him. I think he may know he's in church today. But here, what I'm telling you is the Christian, the ones that claim to be Christian politicians, and that may be sincere. I'm I know there's some people that are sincere that are in politics, but if they're not warning the people and preparing and going into office knowing that this is coming and that as a leader in politics or the church that they should be speaking against this stuff and resisting this antichrist prison that's going to come down upon us. Yeah, Tupperville. I'm so sick and tired of him already. And he ain't even governor yet. I'm sick of him cuz he's either he's ignorant as the day is long or he's being paid off. He's making money off of it. One of the two. It can't be. I was on a Zoom call yesterday with Matt Long who's who's gathered judges and his the head of the Republican party in his county and the city clerk and a bunch of people on there to just pray against these data centers. And their their real ultimate purpose and their real ultimate purpose of these data centers is surveillance AI powered surveillance to break through any encryption that you have to watch everything you do and say and to send the robots out, the drones and the wolf pack to take you. Do you know that the Chinese have wolfpack? You've seen the little dog robots. They have them now mounted with AK-47s, grenade launchers, and small missiles, rockets. They can run faster than you. They have infrared. They have thermal. They have every They can hunt you down. But they're going to need connection wherever they might have to be close by. They need a data center to run all the calculations for the artificial intelligence. In fact, let's read this about artificial intelligence. Go to Revelation 13. You know where to go. I need a drink of water, y'all. All right. Right. At least it's not as hot in here as it was last few weeks. Might not can flush the toilets, but at least we're not sweating
as bad. [laughter] [clears throat] This the the false prophet. There's two there. The antichrist is a real man and then the antichrist system is his government, the world government he will oversee. And basically the technological grid that they're forming. But it says about the false prophet too. It says he had power to give life unto the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many whose would not worship the be image of the beast should be killed. Now for my life when I start when I started at 19 years old I'm 58 now. When I started preaching at 19 years old and I would read this I did not understand how this could happen. particularly I understood even back then that yeah that we would have artificial intelligence at some point. I knew that that was referring because you when you talk about an image, you're talking about something physically made by man that all of a sudden is given the power to speak, right? Meaning it's it has its own, how do you put it? Its own intellect, its own reasoning mechanism, and it can speak to you. And boy, we're at a place now where they can, right? But what I couldn't figure out was I could see a computer speaking to you through the speakers. But what I couldn't figure out, how is this image that starts speaking going to send things out? How is it going to kill us if we won't worship the Antichrist? If we won't take the mark, drones now, little dog robots, little humanoid robots now that can they got one now. It's playing tennis. That's how agile it is. Go ahead. Oh yeah. 2017. That's where we were yesterday. hang on. Let me let me let me read this to you. I just said I'm just going to Google it and see what Google says, right? About the robots. Listen to this. I got it in here somewhere. Oh, yeah. Here we go. All right. So, I asked I I typed in I said robot armies controlled by artificial intelligence. So, Google, this is Google. I'll show it to you on my phone here. I'm my iPad. Everybody see that? Looked it up. So, what I'm about to read, it says robot armies. Robot armies are shifting from science fiction to modern reality, fundamentally changing how warfare is conducted, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, increasing defense budgets. Major powers are developing everything from coordinated quadrupled quadrup wolf packs and explosive quadcopters and heavyduty humanoid soldiers and unmanned ground vehicles. The integration of these autonomous systems has surged recently, offering militaries the ability to conduct high-risk missions like reconnaissance, logistics, and strikes without endangering human lives. China, the People's Liberation Army has unveiled autonomous wolf packs comprising weaponized quadrupt robots and drones that operate via a shared digital brain. They are also reportedly experimenting with motion capture systems that allow human soldiers to control humanoid robots remotely and have aggressively expanded manufacturing of kamicazi drones. the United States American startups like the foundation future industries are developing AI powered humanoids and the phantom MK1
explicitly designed for military and industrial operations. Meanwhile, tech firms are exploring integrating advanced defense capabilities into these systems to compete with global rivals. Israel, the Israeli military has actively deployed autonomous and remotely operated systems in the field, utilizing robots for everything from mapping underground tunnels in Gaza to shooting down enemy drones. Ukraine facing intense ground warfare, Ukraine has rapidly adopted unmanned ground vehicles, UGVs. These ground systems cost a fraction of traditional armored vehicles, providing cost-effective and life-saving support for infantry units. modern military robots utilize distributed networks and advanced artificial intelligence to operate, allowing fleets of 90 plus machines to communicate and coordinate attacks even if traditional radio signals are jammed. Meaning, if they jam the signal, they already have enough information to work together and complete the mission. in addition to armed combat, much of the focus is placed on mules, durable ground robots that transport ammunition and supplies through hazardous rubbled environments without direct pilot control. anyway, and then it goes on, I got my pictures in here. I screenshots. Birmingham data center debate continues. Tupperville, I think there's 27 states that have already said, "Oh, we're not going to build data centers. We're not going to do that. It makes too much noise. is it's going to ruin the climate. He said, "Bull crap." I mean, they're they're listening to all this nonsense they see on social media that's coming from China because China does not want us to grow. Now, what he doesn't understand is I made a little picture of him. I actually told AI to make a picture of him. Y'all want to see it? [laughter] Let me [gasps] It's actually pretty funny, if I do say so myself. Let me send it to you guys up there. oh, yeah. Here we go. All right. It's on the way. There you go. Oh, it wouldn't let me send it. I had to put something in there. All right, there it goes. Coming to you. But here's the thing again. I that's ignorance. It's just ignorance. And and let me say this. I understand that if we are going to compete with our enemies like China, we are going to have to have some of this to compete. But here's the problem. These data centers use billions and billions of gallons of water. Now, some of them are starting to fix that problem and just use recycle their water you in a closed system. But you still have the problem of noise. You still have the problem of thousands and thousands of acres of land that could be used for farming are being eaten up by these things. On top of it, most of these companies that are building these things, Meta, Bezos, all of them, they're not on our side, y'all. Why Trump's working with them, I don't know. But here's the thing. If the presidency ever falls into the hands of another Biden or Obama, these things will be turned against us and they will be used against us. you got the picture. I got him holding a hammer because he doesn't understand he's building his own prison cell. Doesn't get it. Of course, I had to throw in the Florida license plate back there. [laughter]
And the money that's not going to help him. And here's the thing. I I supported President Trump and I'm glad Tupperville was our senator over Doug Jones. I mean, but we have to be able to go right's right and wrongs wrong and not just go follow the party line. Trump's wrong about this. Trump is listening to the wrong people about the wrong things and he's buddying up with some wrong people. and just so you know, you want me to throw something out at you? Tucker Carlson. You heard Tucker Carlson? T calls talking about what is Christian and what's not Christian and talking about Israel, you know, and it's they're not the chosen people and it's not Christianity to say that they are and blah blah blah. And I'm like, who does this dude think he is? He's just let's just say he got saved. It ain't been long. But he's up there lecturing us about Bible stuff and I'm just like, dude, what are you talking about? But here's the thing. Then I find out that Omid Malik gave Tucker $15 million to start up his new media empire. Omid Malik is a Muslim. But guess what? Om Omid Malik's what is it? 1789 whatever it is group whatever it is his company. Guess who works for Malik? Don Jr. And I'm like, why are you in bed with the Muslims and big pharma and big tech? Again, truth is truth. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. and here's the thing about this Omid Malik who gave Tucker all this money, who is a self-proclaimed Muslim, supports all kind big finance, worked for the big, you know, the big banks. I mean, the Illuminati, he's in with them and the Muslims. but you think about you're saying you're a Christian, but you teamed up with this guy and what his $15 million wasn't a gift. It was an investment. meaning he expects you to make him money and to promote what he wants you to promote, which all of a sudden he's anti-Israel everything. Now, granted, I'm not for Israel on everything. And let me just make this clear. There is the Talmud is just as evil as the Quran. Okay? There are 16 million Jews in the world. People claim to be Jew 16 million. Less than 10% are Cabalist or Talmudist. less than 10. So what is that? What say 10% 1.6 million cult following satanic Jews. All right. You got two billion Muslims, y'all. Can you see the difference in the problem? two billion Muslims that are anti- Jesus Christ, anti-Christian, anti-Israel, and got a lot of oil money. So, what you're seeing, and this is why you can't listen to much of what's on social media, because most of it's being funded by somebody. Somebody's wanting an influencer to put their line in there. Okay. So if they blow up on social media beware, just remember I told you, right? So I got to do this quick. Matthew 24, Jesus is asked by his disciples. Verse
three, as he said on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? What shall be the sign of thy coming of the end of the world? So they here's the context. What will be the signs of your coming the end of the age? So Jesus says this first thing he says take heed that no man deceive you. Don't let any man deceive you. I don't care if there's pastor in front of their name or prophet or whatever doctor so and so. I don't care. He says take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name in the name of Jesus saying I am Christ or I am a Christian and shall deceive many. You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you be not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There should be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. And really, actually Luke puts in there mega quakes. And then Jesus says these words. He says, "All these are the beginning of sorrow." Somebody say, "Beginning." Beginning. So when Jesus is asked to give the signs of his coming, he gives us a beginning and then he gives us a middle and then he tells us how it ends. All right? So we're either going to believe Jesus's chronology of the end times or some preacher or Josh Howton. But here's what Jesus said. We keep going. He said, "All these are the beginning of sorrows." And verse 9, what does it start with? Then what does then mean? After this. So Jesus has given us a sequential breakdown kind of an outline of the end of the age right before his second coming. He says, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and they shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." And Christian persecution is on the rise worldwide. He says, "And then shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another." And he says this, "And many false prophets, predictors," right? Many false predictors shall rise and shall deceive a few, many, many. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And that right there is a slap right in the face of your eternally secure, no matter how you live. that false doctrine. It says you must endure to the end. You can't fall away. You can't live in sin. You must endure to the end to be saved. He said, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come." And then he says this, "And when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place," this is specifically the Antichrist standing in a rebuilt Jewish temple in Jerusalem on the mount which is on the way to heaven here pretty soon. He says, "When you see that, right, then let them which are in Judea, Judea is the West Bank. And what's been happening over the years in the West Bank? The Israelis have been settling in the West Bank even though they know that the world is pushing them to turn over the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinian Authority. Right? So what's going to happen the and I believe the Antichrist will be Muslim. He will appear to be a moderate Muslim. Then he will turn on them probably from Jordan is my belief. And what's interesting is Jordan is right next door to where? The West Bank to Judea. And he's saying there's going to be an invasion of Israel from that direction. He says, "So those of you that live there," he's telling the Jews that are in the West Bank, "When this starts going down, you better run for the mountains cuz it be really bad for you." Okay? And then he says this, "Let them which are which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house, neither let him which is in the field return back to take." Meaning
say, "You're going to have to get out of there. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. But pray ye that your flight be not in the w winter, neither on the Sabbath day. Verse 21. For then, what is then mean? After this, for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever shall be. Now, pause for a second. We've been reading every verse. Have we heard about the rapture, the catching away of the of the children of God yet? Nope. So, we can't say what it happened before the antichrist or before the great tribulation or before because it's not Jesus not listed it as before. And then he says this. He says, "Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved." I just showed you why. They're going to send the drones and the robots after us. Unless God intervenes, even our guns are not going to work. They're going to be bulletproof. He says, "Except those days be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened." Then means after this, if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or there believe it not. For there shall arise false Christ, false saviors, messiahs, and false prophets, predictors claiming to speak for God. They shall show great signs and wonders. Some of that it will be in the heavens. Part of the UFO phenomena. And then he says, "In so much that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say unto you, behold, he is in the desert, go not forth." What's interesting is they say, the Muslims say that the Madi, which is their Messiah figure, is hidden in the desert. Isn't that interesting? They say their messiah figure is going to come and rule for seven or eight years. H the Muslims say their messiah figure the madi will also to him the number 666 is a holy number and he will make slaves through putting a mark on them. Isn't that interesting? That's all in the in the hadiths. That's the teaching about the madi. All right, they're messiah figure. So he goes on to say, he says, "But don't be deceived. If they say Christ is here, a Messiah is here. Our savior is here." No, don't believe it. For as lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even into the west, shall also the coming of the son of man be. For whatsoever the carcass is, there were the eagles be gathered together. And again, he's talking about that's a reference to Armageddon. Can't get into that, but listen. Verse 29. He says, "Immediately after," somebody pause for me and say it. Immediately. Immediately after. Did he say immediately before? No, he said immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened. The moon shall not give her light and the powers and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then somebody say then. Then after this shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn. For they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other. Is that the rapture of the church? When did Jesus say it was going to happen? After. Yet nearly every church in America for the last 30 years have told you it's before all of this. Think about the level of deception. And we could say, "Oh, Pastor Dean, it doesn't matter." Well, if it doesn't matter, then why did Jesus put it in here? Amen. He wanted us to know that we would be here through all of it.
See, the rapture of the church to meet the Lord in the air. I believe it's going to happen. It's called the first resurrection. It's going to happen. We're going to meet the Lord in the air, but it's at the last day. John 6, he said, "At the last day." At Somebody say, "At the last day." Paul said, "At the last trumpet." There's seven trumpets in Revelation. The last trumpet is the end. Let me show you this. I'll put up my this is something me and my wife put together. 2012. I think to give you an understanding of this, the book of Revelation has seven seals, seven trumpets, seven vials of wrath. The only one we're told about when they happen, like in a in a time frame, is the vials of wrath happen in the last three and a half years of it, the seven-year great tribulation. Okay? But these we don't know when they start except a little bit now. This started, I believe, right after Jesus. This is these the horsemen. And I don't have time to get on in all of this, but the seven seals, you've got the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the pale or green horse, which is Islam, the martyrs, which is the fifth seal, the sixth seal, the sun goes dark, the moon does not give off it light, the stars fall. The sixth seal is the coming, second coming. Okay. What always bothered me was people would teach Revelation and they would say, "Well, the seven seals happen first and then the seven trumps and then the seven vials like that." And that kind of work and it never works because you got the second coming at the sixth seal because the seventh is just 30 minutes of silence. This is the sun going dark. This is every island move. This is this is the last day right here, right? Sixth seal. Well, the sixth seal is also where the seventh trumpet is blown at the very end. So, these all end at the same time, but they just don't begin at the same time. Once you understand that, you will understand the book of Revelation. That's the key to it. I'm telling you, I studied it for 40 years. But here's where it's interesting. The Bible teaches right here, sixth seal. What we just read in Matthew 24, Jesus said, "Son goes dark, moon does not give off light, stars fall, powers of heaven shaken." Second coming, sixth seal, he's describing six seal, the second coming, that's when the rapture takes place. At the same time, the we will meet the Lord in the air. There will be the judgment seat of Christ while the seventh vial of wrath is falling down. The seventh vial is when the wrath falls. You want to know what we're saved from? We're only saved from this last day, the great day of his wrath. We will be at the marriage supper of the lamb for a little bit. We're going to have a quick wedding, quick little meal while 100 pound hellstones are destroying all the cities of the nations, earthquakes, while every mountain is brought down and every island's moved out of its place. And as that's happening and the armies of the Antichrist are gathering at Armageddon after we finish our meal and Jesus has removed the false Christians, the backsliding Christians, the lukewarm Christians, he'll say, "It's time to mount up, folks." And that's at the last trumpet. It's at the last day. See, when Paul said it's at the last trumpet and then later on the Apostle John gives us seven trumpets that are going to happen, how can you teach that it's going to come before the trumpets? That makes no sense. Oh,
no. Paul said it's going to happen at the last trumpet, but we're going to teach everybody it's before this. This is how screwed up the church has been for a long, long time. And Paul even warned of this. He warned in 2 Thessalonians, don't let anybody deceive you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto him. Don't let anybody trick you. And yet, they've been tricking you for centuries now. You need to know. And let me just say this. This bothered me the most right now. I've been to Nigeria twice. I've had my life in danger. I've had a bomb on a plane, a Muslim bomb on a plane next to me. When I got back to Atlanta after my first trip, my bags went explosive materials because my local flight, my bags were sitting next to a bomb that was supposed to go on the international flight back to the US to kill all the Americans that were headed back home. When I got to the international airport, my flight was canceled. This is how God works. My flight was cancelled. I said, "I ain't staying here another day. I've been there a month. I'm going home." I went upstairs, paid another $1,200, and bought me a ticket on Lufansa, flew to Germany, and then flew home. I would have, if I hadn't have done that, I would have had to wait on Nigerian Airways for 5 days, and they put all our bags in a storage area and they were going to put us in hotels. And I said, "Nuhuh. I'm not doing that. I'm going I'm going home." Two days later, I get home. The day after that, I'm watching Fox News and the baggage area at the Lagos airport exploded. My bags had that material, that bomb material. So, I know what it is. I know what it is to be in a country with Muslims. Now, the people that I went with there with the Bishop Ko Sako, who's now passed away, good man, was in the Nigerian military at one point, born again Christian. He kept me safe. But there are Christians in Nigeria. I was there when they burned churches. They were burning churches. They killed 3,000 Christians while I was there. And that was in 2002. Muslims have been going into churches with machetes and hacking Christians up. taking women outside, pregnant women who were pregnant, cutting them open, taking their babies out and hacking them up bec just because they're Christians. I think about the arrogance for stupid American preachers be telling everybody with their little binkies and their blankets and their bunnies, you're going to get out of here before anything little bad happens you just so precious. While we got brothers and sisters getting hacked to pieces, getting beaten, getting raped, watching their whole family slaughtered in front of them just because they're Christians. And then you want to sit here and go, I'm going in the rapture. No, you're not. And you better lose that attitude. How I mean really, how dare you think you deserve somehow to escape all the bad stuff, all the persecution, all the suffering just because I'm an American Christian and we have our preerttrib rapture doctrine and our eternal security doctrine. Now, best life now, isn't it? Yep. No. And let me explain something.
Put my little graph back up here about the This is what most people don't get. 99% somebody say 99 99% of this is persecution and man-made problems the only wrath of God begins here and the first vial of wrath are the soarses on the people who take the mark it's not on Christians the second one the seat turns to blood and the sea life dies. Well, that's not going to affect us cuz we're going to have a short time anyway. We won't need to be eating any more shrimp. The rivers turn to blood. Men are scorched by the sun. So, the sun begins to heat seven times. I believe Jordan's on to the something with that. Darkness falls on the seat of the beast, not the whole world. Just where the antichrist will have his palace or his throne. The Euphrates River will dry up. It has nothing to do with Christians. Euphrates River will dry up so the kings of the east can pass over to Armageddon, which all they got to do is turn on the Adaturk dams in Turkey and it dries up just like that. So, they've already got that ready to go. That's man-made. And then it's then the seventh vial of wrath, it's done. It's finished. That's it. So, I want you to see that this right here, nobody told you, the Bible doesn't tell you that you're going to escape persecution or man-made problems. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody in the word of God, no prophet, no apostle, nobody told you that. Preachers told you that who are wrong. You need to understand what you're going to go through so you can prepare yourself spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, in every way you can get yourself ready. Amen. See, I'm not a pacifist. I don't want to hurt anybody. But as a husband, as a father, I'm not going to let wild gangs, if things if things fall apart, you know, wild gangs or Muslim gangs or anybody else come in and rape my wife and daughter. No. uh. It's going to be a bad day for any individual that tries that crap around my house. But do you think we're going to escape everything? You can be the best prepared. It doesn't mean we're going to escape everything. And some of us are going to be martyrs in these last days. And I don't have a martyr syndrome. I don't that's I don't want to go that way. I'm not saying I want to, but it could happen. I'm telling you, we get another Obama type president or Biden type president. Oh lord. Or Hillary Clinton, we're done. Or if we get and not just a Democrat, we get another blind, stupid, or bought Republican, we're sunk the same way. We need somebody who understands what is happening because it has been prophesied and how we should resist it. Look, the thing about the antichrist kingdom, let me say this. The Bible tells us some places will be strong. His kingdom and
his authority will be strong. In other places, it will be brittle and weak. And if we are told to resist the mark of the beast, do you does that mean we're going to go along with everything else? No. We are to be resistors of this system that's coming down upon us. That's why I ran for governor. Not really even thinking I had a chance to win, but so I could speak this truth to my leaders and to my state, which I did. Because [snorts] if we're if we just follow the blind as we're blind. If we're blind and we follow the blind, what happens? We both end up in the ditch. Jesus said, right? I don't want to end up in the ditch because I followed some blind fool. And you know, y'all think, "Oh, you're not supposed to call people fools." No, Jesus called people fools. He called them blind fools. The Pharisees, you are blind fools. Put my buddies back up if you will. Now, what saddens me about John Bevere is that he's written some good books. Bait of Satan, about dealing with unforgiveness. Sub the what is it? undercover about submission to authority. Thus sayith the Lord about false prophecy, false prophets in the church. Of course, he didn't name any names. So I it's weak sauce to me. But see, this is why I tell people all that was 30 years ago. Most of those books were 30, 20 years ago. Some people ask me say, "Well, what do you think of John Ver?" Well, all I know is he wrote some good books 20, 30 years ago. I don't know where he is now. Well, he's just written a new book, Preerttrib Rapture, right? So, now he's teaching false doctrine, even though I like him. This guy, Perry Stone, I'm not even going to comment, but he's he's the hardest preaching preerttrib. And then this guy worries me right here because he's got the double doozy. Once saved, always saved. And the pre-trip And this guy's got so many people following him. Josh Howardon. And it's dangerous. You say, "Pastor Dean, you shouldn't call their names out. You shouldn't put their pictures." Yes, I should. What did Paul do about Deeus? Deus. Deeus had worked with him. Deus, he said, "Deus has forsaken me, having loved this present life." named him anybody. Deeus got called out forever. So did Phil Phileitus and Hermonganes and who else am I thinking? Who? Oh, Alexander. Yeah, I love it. Paul said, "Alexander the coppermith did me much evil. The Lord reward him for his works. [laughter] See, that sounds like something I would say. [laughter] Yeah. So, y'all think all these See, loving people doesn't mean you're always nice. That's right. Nice does not mean love. Right. Sometimes love is hard truth. Yeah. That's why sometimes I just I look at people and I just go, "Oh, you poor pitiful thing." I go, "You you are deceived. You are lying to people. You
are misleading people." But they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears. Boy, you can find them now by the thousands. Oh, they'll reinforce everything you want to hear. They'll give you the binky, the bottle, the bunny. Troy, you okay, Pastor Troy? What about the bunny? [laughter] He said, "No. [snorts] I've made the bunny famous." Now, [laughter] let's stand. Thank you, Jesus. Does anybody have word of the toilets working now? Okay, they are working. Somebody say, "Hallelujah." Hallelujah. That's my wife getting on the problem. It's right there. Well, y'all understand this. Y'all understand why it's dangerous? Why these two, especially these two false teachings combined, how they're going to work together? Satan doesn't spare his lies, his deception. They're all for a reason. They are all to bear fruit that he wants. That's why we can't depart from this. Not in one place. Not even a little bit. That's right. I don't even want you to trust me. Go read it yourself. Go study it yourself. Go dig into it. It's what you're supposed to do. Because guess what? When you're standing before Jesus on judgment day, I won't be beside you. You won't be pastor deep. No, I can't help you. [laughter] I'll be stepping back. Nope. Nope. Nope. I told him, Lord, I told him. But but Josh Harton was so he was such a handsome fellow. How could he be lying to me through them blue eyes or whatever they are? Well, I he you know, here's the thing. Here's the dangerous thing. There's a lot of people out there that are sincere, but they're sincerely wrong. Sincerely wrong. And maybe he's sincere, but he's just grew up Baptist. I don't know. And can't let go of it. I don't know. But and I grew up Baptist. So, but I managed to keep reading the Bible and let go of what was wrong. And that's what you have to do. And I don't care if it's Catholic or Baptist or charismatic or Pentecostal. If you find something that's not biblical, you're not to just keep going along with it. That's right. You know, I don't care what your tradition or denomination or how you were raised. If it's got error in it, you better get it out of your life. Amen. Let's pray. Father, thank you for your word and thank you for your Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray for these men, for John Bevere, for Perry Stone, for Josh Howard, that their eyes will be opened, that you will convict them and show them the error, the false teachings they're putting out and the danger that is within them. That they don't want to stand before you with blood on their hands. That they led people astray and caused people to be separated from you forever. I don't want to have blood on my hands. So Lord, I have told your people today, the truth of these two matters. I pray that your fear, the true fear of the Lord will fall upon everyone here, those watching and listening, that the hatred for sin will arise. that true repentance will come and that of any person Christian or non-Christian but need if they need to repent today turn from sin
that they will truly turn from it and begin a new life if they're lukewarm they'll become hot on fire zealous for you if they're living in a sin that's unto death that we read today that they will get out of it, that they will not take the mark of the beast, that they will not think they're eternally secure no matter how they live, or that they're getting out of here before anything bad happens. Lord, I pray that you awaken the church, especially help the baby Christians that are in in our country here and around the world. Lord, we know we have people in Australia and England and Denmark and all over the world who watch and listen. Lord, pour out your spirit, conviction, truth, the true fear of the Lord so that men will depart from evil before it's too late. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen. And amen. All right.
