Yes, Lord, you deserve the glory this morning. We worship you. We praise you, Exalt you, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, God of all gods. You are the true and mighty God, the creator of heaven and earth. We are grateful to you this morning that you reveal yourself to us, Lord, by your Holy Spirit, by the scriptures, by your word that you've given us that is true from Genesis to Revelation. We thank you, Lord, for the truth and the truth that sets us free. And, Lord, we ask you today just to be with us as we get into your word. Lord, I ask you to speak to every heart here. Those watching and listening speak to hearts. Lord, draw people out of darkness, out of deception, out of error, away from false prophets and teachers that are leading them astray. Lord, we pray this morning in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Can you give Jesus another praise this morning? Go ahead. Hallelujah. I thank God He's given us the Word. Amen. And He's given us His Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us into all truth. I said the knowing series is going to continue. It may continue after this week, I think, as well. But we've been covered knowing Jesus and knowing the Holy Spirit, knowing the voice of the Lord, knowing things to come. Last week was knowing the prophets. This week is going to be knowing the servants of God. We're still going to talk a little bit about these false prophets, but it's just I'm in awe because, you know, I preached something like I did last week and I named some names. And, of course, you know, I always have some Christians that are following these people that start coming unglued, right, and losing their minds and wanting to argue with me. And I had somebody come on Facebook and also via email trying to argue with me about this so-called prophetess, Julie Green. So you know what that did? That made me dig a little more into her prophecies. And I actually didn't even know the mountain of false prophecies this woman has given. Okay, I'm blown away that any Christian is still listening to her or that they would come and argue with me about it. You know, Jesus said there will be, you know, in fact, let's turn to Matthew 7 real quick verse. We'll start at verse 15. We're gonna be all over the Bible this morning. I'll tell you one thing they will not be able to accuse me of is not teaching the Bible. We're gonna go all over the Bible. And let me tell you, I'd rather have a good teaching from the Bible than I would 15 of these fluffy, goofy prophecies that these people give about the Super Bowl or whatever they want to talk about. It's all scripted. Y'all Super Bowl is also there to know who's gonna win. It's already planned out. I've what I quit
watching the NFL long time ago. And now now they're about to ruin college football as well. Um, but you know, it's all about Vegas and the money, right? Y'all, you do know that, right? If you can predict who's winning, then you can predict who's gonna win the money. Right? That's the way it goes. That's why sports betting is the worst gambling anybody can do. That's the most addictive and you're gonna lose money because it's designed for you to lose money. Lots of men. I know people that's gotten themselves in big, big trouble from sports betting. Uh, because I can assure you they can manipulate it. I mean, even Auburn University, I love my Auburn Tigers, but they got caught years ago trying to fix basketball games. People involved. Let's fix a basketball game so we can win some money. You think this doesn't go on in every sport? Oh yeah, it goes on. But it goes on in the church, too. We'll call it profit lying, not prophesying. All right. There's a lot of profit lying going on. All right. Jesus here said, beware, beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing. But inwardly they are raving wolves. He said you shall know them by their fruits. Now we can just stop right there. You will know them by their fruits by what they produce. Now let me tell you something. If you want to know somebody's a false teacher or a false prophet, the first fruit that you look at is do their prophecies come to your path. If they don't over and over and over again, the fruit is false. Okay. It's real simple. You don't even have to know anything about their personal lives. You don't have to know whether they're living in sin. You don't have to know their attitude about money. All you need to know is, are they false? All right. Secondly, if they're a false teacher, then what do you have to know? You have to know the word of God so you can discern whether they are rightly dividing the word of God and giving you sound doctrine. Anybody can give you some doctrine, but is it sound doctrine? And we're going to look at that. But let me just say this about Julie Green. I don't have time to play all this woman's false prophecies. I have a list of them. I have them document. I have them saved off. Now she prophesied over seven times in 2020 before 2020 election that Trump would be president in 2020. She said, Stop saying 2024. She said 2020 she prophesied that in 2022 that, um, what's her name? Pelosi would be dead before the midterm elections in 2022 didn't happen. She prophesied Trump would be back in power in the White House in 2022 didn't happen. She prophesied Herschel Walker would win
his Senate race didn't happen. I mean, we could go down the list over and over again. She has prophesied things that are not true, that have not come to pass. She is not a prophet of God. She is not hearing the voice of God. And I can tell you this much. Her fruit is not just to give false prophecies, but it's actually to teach false doctrine to lead people away from the truth of Scripture and even seeking sound doctrine. And I am gonna play one video of hers. We're gonna start this video at the beginning. I'll tell you all when to stop because I didn't give you a time stamp there, but just started from the beginning and pay attention. This is an interview she's giving and where she starts talking about. I give you a little a little heads up here. Little trailer. She starts talking about we shouldn't judge other Children of God and prophets and teachers completely wrong. I'll show you that in a second. And then she says, Stop with doctrine. This right here gives away that she is a wolf because Jesus said those who do his will will know his doctor. And I'm gonna show you how many times the Bible talks about how important sound doctrine is. Systematic instruction from the Scripture that is correct doctrine, not watered down, not changed, not taken out of its context, not ignoring definitions of words, but correct doctrine. But let's play this clip. Here's Julie. This is for you, Julie Green Lovers out there. I guess I'm kind of firing these out as they come. This was quite an interview that Julie I shouldn't say an interview, but I guess a joint livestream that Dave and Julie did. This is how you can know for certain that these false prophets, these false teachers don't want you to check them. They go against the word of God. Listen to this clip. One of the things that I will say, and I will agree with you on that. Stop saying this is not to you, but to the people watching. Don't say anything negative about people, and especially who are called by God. I don't care your feelings for that person, especially on social media or any type of platform. Don't call out a pastor. Do not call out a child of God who is a prophet or anybody else. God is a judge over all the earth. God will judge those people. Unless he says it, I'm telling you, God does not say, I want my child, this child here, and I want you to call it that child over there. He doesn't do that. Not like that. So be very careful when you are talking against God's people, because I've seen too much of that in this last couple weeks, and it has really burdened my heart. Because we're supposed to be a body together. I don't care what you believe about somebody. I don't care what you think
that they believe this about their religion, and they believe this. Who cares? Stop with the doctrines. Stop with all that stuff, and let's just be as one as a body of Christ. Because too many times we're falling for the life of the enemy. And then all of a sudden, okay, did you catch that? And that's good enough. That's good. Now we could go on and on with this. I mean, I could go and show you her prophecies from 2020 and 2022 and we could go on and on and on. But notice that she said we're not supposed to call anybody out. We're not supposed to judge anybody is false. Don't do that. You know why? Because people are busting her, right? I mean, she's got so many false properties, not hard, right? So she's like, Oh, you can't I'm called by God. You can't question me. You can't call me out. You can't say I'm wrong. You can't say I'm an error. I want to read something to you. This is this is why we again, you have to if you know the Bible, you will know immediately when you hear this kind of crap that it's wrong and that it's deceitful and it's leading people away. Does doctrine matter? Yes, it does very much. In fact, it can what you believe about the Bible and about Jesus will determine whether you go to heaven or hell. It's that simple. And if you get away from the Scriptures, if you stray from sound doctrine, you are straying from Jesus. They go together. You cannot know Jesus apart from the Scriptures. All right, let's go to 2nd Timothy. We're going to go to Chapter 2. Like I said, we're going to be in a lot of places, but let me I'm going to read this with the Apostle Paul wrote by the Holy Spirit. He's writing to this young pastor that he that he discipled. He mentored. He trained and he's Timothy's now out in his own and Paul's writing to him and the Holy Spirit is moving upon. Paul giving exactly what he wants to say to Timothy because he knew that this would be for pastors and leaders until Jesus would return to the second coming. All right, we're going to drop down. Oh goodness, I guess all will just read from verse one. Why not? He says thou therefore my son and he was a son in the faith. He said be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus and the things that thou has heard of me among any witnesses the same commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others. Also thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that worth entangled himself with the affairs of this life that he may please him who have chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries yet, he is not crowned except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that labors must first be partaker of the fruits. Consider what I say in the Lord give the understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel where in I suffer trouble as an evil doer even under bonds, but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful
saying for if we be dead with him that means dead to our flesh and this the more our members that want to live in sin if we'll crucify the flesh. He said if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. If we suffer we shall also reign with him. He's talking about suffering as a Christian suffering affliction and persecution because of that. He says if we deny him, he will also deny us if we believe not yet. He abided faithful. He cannot deny himself of these things put them in remembrance charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no prophet but to the subverting of the hearers study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that need is not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth but shun profane and vain babblings for they will increase unto more on godliness and their word will eat as doth a canker of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetas who concerning the truth have aired saying that the resurrection is passed already and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God stand assure having this seal that the Lord knoweth them that are his and let everyone that name it the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Now I want to stop reading right there but I wanted to point out and show you how he's talking here about studying to show yourself to prove rightly dividing the word of God and then he's he names two people Hymenaeus and Philetas who said they are overthrowing the faith of some saying the resurrection is passed already. Do you know we got these people right now this whole tartarian the millennium is already passed Jesus came and 70 at his whole Preterism thing is exactly this saying that the second resurrection of the first resurrection of the second resident that's already passed and I'm going to deal with that in a few weeks in great detail but it's there's nothing new into the sun but the Apostle Paul said he said the people who were teaching the doctrine Hymenaeus and Philetas said what they were teaching wrong and it's in a letter for everyone to see for 2000 years this stuff about we don't judge. Let's go to First Corinthians chapter 14 First Corinthians 14 you need to talk about judging and we especially judge prophets because this is the chapter First Corinthians 14 is about the gifts of the Holy Spirit the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues and the gift of prophecy within the church is talking about this the whole context of this chapter and if you go down and we're going to just going to go down to verse 29 and we're going to read there. So he says very plainly here Paul again by the Holy Spirit let the prophets speak two or three and let the others judge. What is the word judgment?
It means to distinguish or to determine whether that prophecy was from the Lord true incorrect from the Holy Spirit or just from the devil or from their own minds. We are supposed to judge prophecy coming out of anybody's mouth. I don't care who they are. You understand and especially those who are called to the prophetic office are supposed to be judging and speaking out about other so-called prophets and if they're getting it wrong all the time and they're leading people astray from things clearly taught in the word they are supposed to be called out rebuked corrected and if they don't repent of their ways they are going to bust hell wide open for leading the people of God astray and saying the Lord sayeth when he didn't say it. You understand me. You don't get away with that. This is not a game. We are not children playing with these things. It's not a way to get famous or to make money and if that's the goal somebody said well who is the one defending Julie Green one of them said well who do you think is a real prophet. I can tell you what the ones that I think are real prophets none of them are famous but I know true men and women of God that are true apostles and true prophets that you've never even heard of and yet they're being faithful to do the work of the Lord where they are maybe in small settings traveling across the world speaking in little churches and being sure that they have the fear of the Lord before them and not speaking frivolously and and vainly all this gets out this is this bugs me to no end. I you know like I said I've been in this thing now 36 years you want to talk about seeing some false goofy stuff in the church world that people just just let it go just let it happen. Let me tell you I wouldn't set foot in the church. I wouldn't be a member of a church that had a pastor that would not discern these things and correct these things any pastor just lets this crap go on or joins up with it. They're headed down a road of trouble. Let's let's look at some more of this. He says let the prophets speak two or three let the others judge if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by let the first hold his peace for you may all prophesy one by one that all may learn and be comforted and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets for God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churches of the Saints. So again, I'm not against the gifts of the Holy Spirit the gift of prophecy tongues interpretation of tongues the gifts of healing working miracles discerning of spirits. I'm all for it
visions dreams the real thing the real word from God. I want everybody to hear the Lord speak to them. I want everybody to operate in the gifts of the spirit. I believe that's for every Christian. Okay, but we don't get to be goofy and stupid and incorrect all the time and then put ourselves out as some great one. I hope you all hear what I'm saying. Now we got a lot to go to I want to go to this you know when I talked about the title knowing the servants of God let's let's go to Malachi chapter three and know I'm not going to be talking about the tithing is the most people's here Malachi chapter. Oh God here come they coming from a wallet. No, not today. In fact, I've never taught on this and don't intend to not all the money a while back just you know my view. I'll say this my view of giving is the Lord let the Lord tell you what to do and if it what he tells you do you do it. It's not my job to tell you it's not my job to coerce you force you or somebody out there's got to write a thousand-dollar check. No, you start hearing that stuff. You start hearing that stuff something's wrong something seriously wrong. It should it should not be allowed to go on that right there is what Jesus starts throwing tables over about all right. Oh, I'm hurting some of his feelings because that's how they that's how they make a living. Oh, let's go down. Let's go to verse 13 3 13. We'll start reading there. So the Lord speaking through the Prophet Malachi says your words he's talking to the people of God. He said your words have been stout against me say at the Lord yet you say what have we spoken so much against the you have said it is vain to serve God and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts and now we call the proud happy and yea that they that work wickedness are set up and yea that that temp God are delivered. So he said the people were complaining you know we've served God but the wicked seem to prosper and everything seems to go well. So they were complaining what prophecy what is it good to serve God blah blah blah blah because you know most most people of God can't go through any difficulty suffering seasons of difficulty suffering or affliction for God and stay faithful because we want everything to be hunky dory all the time right and we want it to be the way we want it to be so it's nothing new under the sun then he says this though the Lord speaking
through him he said verse sixteen then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another and the Lord hearkened and heard and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name remember they that feared the Lord and thought upon his name and he said they shall be mine sayeth the Lord of host and the day when I make up my jewels and I will spare them as a man that spare his own son that service him then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked between him that service God in him that service him not he's saying here real quickly and you need to get this together he says first of all the Lord is listening to what's coming out of the mouths of people he's listening to their heart he's listening to their motives and then he says though but there are those in the midst of all this craziness and all this foolishness there are those that truly fear the Lord meaning they have an all and a respect for God for his word for his wrath for his judgment for how he looks at sin they have an all and respect that that compels them so he says those who fear the Lord they spake often one to another and you know that's the thing about spiritual people that are close to the Lord they love talking about the Lord and they love to be around other people that like to talk about the Lord and when you're doing that when you're really all about him there is a book of remembrance written the Lord's writing a little book like he's got a little diary and he's right about when you're sitting around talking about him and thinking about him he knows those that are his but then he says it's the people who fear him and that think upon his name that speak often about him he said they're the ones that are going to be able to come back later and be able to discern between those who are serving God and those who are not see I would have to say this if there are people out there Christians that are not discerning between the servants of God and those who are not truly serving God they're not discerning the wolves it's because either they're immature or because they have their own agenda that's blinding them you have to understand that if you we're not going to turn to this right now but you can just mark it down Ezekiel 14 God talks about prophets he said that that he said the people of God he said have idols in their hearts he says and when they go to the prophet the prophets going to speak to them according to the idol that's in their heart so if you think you want to run to these prophets this people just went on all over the country to one prophet after another one prophetic meeting after another I've seen it for years they want a word they want a word they want a word but I'm going to tell
you right now if your flesh is not being crucified if you have all these things in your life sins or idols or things that you haven't laid down before the Lord God's going to make that prophet tell you what you want to hear you you people running after prophets. Oh, yeah, you say well, God will do that. God will have them speak. Yeah, he says it is a good 14. He said I will speak to them. The prophets will speak according to the idol that's in your heart. He'll tell you exactly what you want to hear. That's why you better be careful like some people some people want they want a spouse more than they want to follow Jesus. Okay, there's nothing wrong with wanting a spouse, but you can't put that in front of Jesus, but let me tell you you start running all these prophets. They'll find you one. They'll tell you exactly what you want to hear and that's just one. That's just one area you you haven't find out financial difficulties and you run to a profit. All you're about is money and wanting to get out of your financial situation. They'll tell you you're gonna be blessed money cometh, right? I remember that fool on TV. Don't shout me down when I'm preaching good said you'll discern but you'll discern between the righteous in the week. Now, let's go to I know we're just Matthew seven group, but go back to Matthew seven and go down to verse 21. Now, remember the context. We just read it. He talked about the false prophets in verse 15. I want to show you something here. This is why there's so many blind Christians and so many blind so-called prophets out there. The blind are leading the blind and if the blindly the blind both fall into the ditch and the ditch is hell. This is what Jesus said. Let's let's let's read this. He said verse 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. There's a bunch of people call Jesus Lord y'all. There's a bunch of prophets run around. They'll talk about Jesus being Lord, but notice what he says after this. He said it's those who do my will and listen, the will of God first thing about you want to know about the will of God is the word of God. If you don't stick to the word of God, you are out of the will of God. You hear me? It's not hard to understand, but he says here, it's not everyone that says to me, Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? Now just stop right there. First thing they said, Lord, we've been running around prophesied in your name, Jesus. We must be right. We must be yours. There's going to be a rude awakening
on Judgment Day when these prophets stand before the Lord and he goes, you've been lying to my people and misleading my people your entire ministry. Depart from me, you cursed into everlasting fire. Get out of here. Angels, take him bind him hand and foot and cast him out. See, this is why this is not a game and this is why Jesus went on to say, he said, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in the name and in the name cast out devils in the name to many wonderful works. Then will I profess under them? I never knew you depart from me ye that work iniquity. Now, this doesn't mean Jesus never knew them. What he's saying is the Bible tells us in Ezekiel chapter three, chapter 18, chapter 33, it says this over when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity and I lay a stumbling block before him and he dies in his sin. He said his righteous works and deeds will not even be remembered. So it doesn't matter if you prophesied cast out demons, did many wonderful works in Jesus name. If you stray from the will of God and from the word of God and from the truth of God, you're going to hear this. I don't know who you are. Get away from me because you worked iniquity, unrighteousness, injustice, sin, serious stuff here. Now, let's go to John seven. Go to put up John 7 14 through 17 because we're talking about the will of God is vitally important. I will show you why so many are blind. Here's Jesus speaking here in John 7 7 verse 14. He said now about the midst of the feast. Jesus went up into the temple and taught and the Jews marveled saying how know what this man letters and you say in the of the Bible, how does he know how does he know the Bible so well and he didn't go to our schools having never learned and Jesus answered them and said my doctrine is not mine but his that sent me if any man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself if any man will do his will then he will know the doctor. This is why you want to know why there's so much error why there's different denominations why there's so many false prophets why there's so many people following false prophets in blind guides and in I'm going to tell you why because most people who call themselves Christians have never truly surrendered to the will of God for their lives. They have never laid down their
own life their own plans their sins their their own desires. They have never truly crucified self and taking up the cross and follow Jesus. They said a little prayer maybe when there was nine years old or maybe when they were in their twenties they prayed the sinner's prayer and they think they're Christians but they have lived for themselves. They have done their own will their own plans. They have fulfilled their own desires surrendering to Jesus Christ means everything forsaking all and following him. This is why and you know in Mark four when Jesus tells them the parable of the sower and he tells them and it will multiple places in Matthew he says what he says to you. He's speaking to his disciples that forsook everything to follow him that laid down everything their jobs even had to walk away from family to go follow him for three years to be trained by him. He said it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom but to them it's not given see they had surrendered to the cross and to the will of God and to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ therefore their spiritual eyes were opened by the Lord to understand his doctrine and his teaching but so many so-called Christians have not done this their goal is as like I said their goal is to be married or their goal is to make a lot of money or their goal is to get the job they want or their goal is this and that and the Lord I remember when I was nineteen I knew the Holy Spirit came upon me and it's like your life that you had planned and I'm talking about the things that weren't sin that they're just I could have gone back to Troy State. I could have become a doctor. I could have played football could have done all those things that I was planning on doing in college and then after but when the Lord revealed to me, I have called you to preach and teach my word. I have a different plan for your life. I knew all of that was over with and it wasn't hard. It was like you know what Lord you died on the cross for my sins you suffered you were beaten and spit upon and whipped and nailed to across so that I could be forgiven of my sins. The least I can do is follow you in this short life that I have that I might have eternal life with you forever and ever and ever and I and I might as well give you my life here. You know the best one. The Bible says if you will lose your life for his sake, you will find it. But if you try to save it, if you try to if you try to have your own way, do your own thing. See a lot of people have their own way will and their own plans and they just try to add Jesus to the shelf of the rest of the idols they have. Now this is a problem in Hinduism. They got all these gods and then a lot of them here start hearing about Jesus. They just add him to the shelf. Can't do that. Can't just add Jesus to the shelf.
You have to know Jesus is the one true God, the creator, the only true Savior, the only God who died on a cross for your sins. He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the God of all gods. He's first. So you have to wipe everything off the shelf and Jesus is has to be Lord supreme and that's another thing. The doctrine of one of the doctrines you have to understand is that Jesus is God Almighty in the flesh. You don't understand that you don't you don't know anything. People that say Jesus is just a good man or he's a good teacher. He's just a prophet or this or that. He was just one of the avatars. No friend. God Almighty came in the flesh lived a sinless life. Born of the Virgin Mary died on the cross three days later rose from the dead ascended back into heaven is alive forever more when he died on the cross. It says he went down into hell and got the keys of hell and death. He is the one now the only one that can wash your sins away clean your heart set you free from demons and give you eternal life if you will follow him. But if you will not give up your sin and your own will your own plans you will stay blind. I don't care how many church services you go to. I don't care how many prophets you see. I don't care if they lay hands on you so much that they wear a hole in your forehead. I don't care if you if they cast demons out of you the demons will come right back and more. You're saying surrender. Make sure this thing's not going out on me. I don't see the red flashing so we're alright for me. Just be ready. Okay. We got more scripture to go through y'all. Okay. It's only 11 40. So we're doing good. Psalm 25 go through Psalm 25 please. Psalm 25 gives the same understanding of this. Let's go to verse 4. Well, let's just start at verse 1. He says unto thee O Lord. Do I lift up my soul? Oh my god, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait upon thee be ashamed. Let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Show me thy ways O Lord. Teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth and teach me for thou art the god of my salvation. On thee do I wait all the day. Remember O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgressions according to thy mercy. Remember thou me for thy goodness sake O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord. Therefore will he teach sinners in the way the meek those who are humble willing to humble themselves and be obedient. That's what meekness is. It's not it's not being a little weak girly man. It means to be humble and obedient. He says the meek will he guide in judgment. The meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies for thy name sake O Lord. Pardon my iniquity for it is great. What man is he that fearth the Lord him? Shall he teach in the way that he shall choose? His soul shall dwell at ease and his seed shall inherit the earth. Look at verse 14. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him and he will show them his covenant. So if you want God to reveal his secrets to you to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God to hear his voice to know his will you have to be willing to be humble and obedient. You have to be willing to fear the Lord truly respect and stand in all of him and understand that he will do exactly what he says. That means the good and the bad. That means the their heaven eternal life in heaven and yes eternal punishment in hell. You have to accept what he says and you have to accept that it's his way or the highway folks. I don't see that's hard for a lot of human beings because we're naturally rebellious. We won't do it our way but surrendering to God knowing God following Jesus knowing Jesus is all about his will and not your will anymore. It's all about his commands. It's all about his word his truth not not not each person we have our own truth. No, you don't. No, you don't. There's one truth. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life and no man will come to the Father but through me he is the way not a way he is the truth and then he said Lord he said in John 17 he said sanctify them through thy word thy word is truth. Alright, so if you get away from these the Scriptures you're in trouble because it's a truth. Now, let's keep going. It's only 1144. So we did we did good there. I will not be letting you go at 12 because then you know,
you know what will happen. First Timothy chapter one. No, you're not going to be the first ones at the buffet. Not ever if you're here. First Timothy. Now, let's just go to chapter one first. First Timothy one. Now, remember what our false prophetess Julie Green said. Stop with the doctrine. Don't judge any of these people. Don't call any of these people out. God help her. I hope she repents before she dies or before Jesus comes back. Let's read this first in chapter one verse one. Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope unto Timothy my own son in the faith. Grace and mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I've a sought need to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia that thou might is charge some that they teach no other doctrine. Why did Paul leave Timothy to go charge? That means that doesn't mean to ask nicely. It means to command them with authority. Stop teaching false doctrine. He tells him that's what your purpose is there that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine either give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith. So do now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscious and of faith unfeigned. He says from which some having swerved have turned aside into into vain jangling desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor where have they affirm. But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully knowing this that the law is not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient for the ungodly and for sinners for unholy and profane for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers for manslayers for whoremongers and for them that defile themselves with mankind that's homosexuals for men stealers for liars for perjured persons if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which is committed to my trust. So he tells him point blank right there. You are there to charge them. They teach no other doctrine. You are there to make sure they're not listening to fables and endless genealogies. Let me tell you this this tutorial thing that the tar areas exist where this was there a tutorial nation within what is now Russia. Yes, it existed but it is a fable to believe that it is it was the 1000 year Kingdom of
Jesus Christ on Earth that is a fable that is nonsense. Yet, there are Christians believing these fables and then there's Christians getting into these endless genealogies about who are the Jews? I mean stop it. You don't know right these Hebrew Israelite people Lord help them. They think they're the Jews. I don't want to be a Jew. I want to be a Christian. I'm a Gentile. I'm fine with that. I don't know what the issue is. Somebody got an inferiority complex. They want to be Jew. I'm okay with them being Jews and me being a Gentile. I'm fine with that. Here's what I want. I'm going to show you this. He said and this is just another go over to the toward the end of the chapter. First Timothy one there. He says verse 17. He says now into the King eternal immortal invisible to the only wise God be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. This charge I committed to the son Timothy according to the prophecies which went before on the that thou by them mightest war good warfare holding faith and a good conscience which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan that may learn not to blaspheme. There's two more he names but here's Paul saying hey, but there were prophecies that were went upon you that are before that were real that were true. He said by those you you fight a good warfare. I remember the Prophet Gene May somebody said ask me today who do you believe is real pop. I ever believe Prophet Gene May is a real prophet and I met him in 1989 and he walked by me and the Lord said he's going to turn around and lay hands on you and prophesied and what he prophesied over me was not it was about what was going on in my life then and what God was going to do in my life to this day. And we're talking about that was a 19 November 19 1989. I play it during every graduation of our ministry school students, but the things he said over me were specific and they have guided and been and really it didn't even have to I didn't even have to try to make it happen. God was already putting those things in me and then as time went on the things God led me into and one of the things he said he said you will teach in fact do we have that I'm going to play that prophecy. I want to give you all a here's a here's a true prophet giving a true prophecy that came to pass on my life over the next month. How many long how long ago was that 89? So 34 years. So this is Prophet Jean May you got it. Hallelujah. Well, I thank you for this brother and I thank you for the commitment. You know brother, this is what I see.
I see you before God and I see you kneeling there before the Lord in a absolute contrition absolute dedication unto him just putting your life there saying God it's yours and God's taking you up on it. God's place to calling up in your life. God's going to have you teach there's a teaching anointing that's going to come upon you that will be very powerful in the body of Christ. That says a teacher and my five whole ministry you will be the cause of the things that I'm stirring inside of you. This is not a day of release but this is a day of preparation for you but there will be a day of release when I will launch you and I'll push you forth says the Lord and you will walk forth in my anointing and my power and you shall teach but there shall not be the things that all would expect but there will be the things of God that will set and the captives free and liberate my body to be what I've called it to be for you will train many others that will go forth and they too shall teach and they shall break the strongholds of the enemy by that taught word says the Lord. Hallelujah. See that's not fluff. I wouldn't know you're going to be blessed. Bless coming to you. Bless going out. I'm so sick all that stuff. No specific. Remember he said there you will teach things but they will not be the things that all would expect not even what I would expect 1989. I wasn't thinking about biblical cosmology flat earth. I can assure you but he did know God was already stirring in me then the deliverance ministry and focus on spiritual warfare and I was already teaching people about that in 1989. I was starting to preach in churches and God was teaching me about it and I was starting to cast demons out of people regularly. So see he and then of course, and he said you will train many others and they will teach and I knew when I was in my twenties after that the Lord said you're going to have told me he said you're going to have a ministry school but you know what he didn't tell me to start that until 2018. So we're talking about 20 plus years past before the Lord says I want you to start a ministry school but even now the people in our ministry school are getting trained in spiritual warfare and deliverance and they're going forth and teaching and now they're starting churches. We have ministry school students that are starting churches in different places and they're teaching others. We have them in in England and South America and Ireland and I mean and but I'm just saying I wanted you to see this is what he talked about true prophecy. I'm all for it, but let it be true. Let it be from God. Let it be the
Holy Spirit and and let me tell you let it be specific my God if you're hearing from God, it should be specific details. You know, I saw one of these one of these you know people out here on YouTube pointing out some of these false prophets and he said how come if some of them don't point out the like like didn't prophesy about 2020, but you know what I did about 2017 2018 the Holy Spirit came on me and said 2020 is going to be a very significant year things are going to change dramatically and he told me I the words biological weapon and I shared this in a sermon biological weapon on my mind when it went biological weapon. I was thinking more of like a sarin gas attack or something like that. I really didn't for some reason didn't register to me that it would be a man-made bio weapon to make a sick, but I shared that it's on record. Okay, in fact, I have a video going back to 2015 talking about that. They were going to use in the days ahead and that it will be connected to the mark of the beast and I talked about that in 2015. All right, long before 2020 came around. So that's a little bit specific. Don't you think I said 2020 things are going to change. There'll be a biological weapon release said that and I'll play it for y'all. I'll dig it back up and find it. I was digging it up for somebody the other day somewhere in there. But my point is it should be specific. Let's keep going. You all right. Y'all learning something. All right. I want you to go over to chapter 4 first Timothy 4 still in chapter 4 and he warned us in the beginning of this chapter. I want to read the first few verses here. He says now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times the last days, which we're living in as some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of Devils speaking lies in hypocrisy and having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from each which God has created to be received with thanksgiving with them which believe and know the truth for every creature of God is good nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving for it is sanctified by the word of God in prayer. He says if you put the brethren in remembrance of these things thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine where unto thou hast attained but refused profane and old wives fables and exercise thyself rather unto godliness for bodily exercise profiteth little but godliness is profitable
unto all things having the promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come this is a faithful saying and worthy of all exception. He says for for therefore we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men especially of those that believe these things command and teach let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example of the believers in word in conversation that word conversation is behavior. He said in charity in spirit in faith in purity till I come give attendance to reading to exhortation and to doctrine neglect not the gift that is in the which was given the by prophecy with the laying out of hands of the presbytery meditate upon these things give thyself holy or completely to them that thy profiting may appear to all take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine continue in them for in doing this thou shall save thyself and them that hear thee now everybody see that he warned in the beginning false doctrines seducing spirits are going to come false are going to lead many to depart from the faith and then he even tells you they're going to be forbidding to marry hmm. I wonder what false religion within the Christian faith forbids their leaders to Mary Roman Catholicism. There's one for you. Let me let's see forbidding to eat all meats the Torah movement the Hebrew roots move. Oh, you can't eat this and can't eat that. Let me tell you in fact the Torah movement is such a false doctrine and such a false gospel. God says you are cursed if you go if you teach that you are cursed and you're teaching a false gospel and Christ has become no effect to you. If you're seeking righteousness through the law of Moses going back under the old covenant you have forsaken you have fallen from grace. This is just let's put it up for you. Galatians 5 verse 1 will start there. I just need to get this out here. I'm done patty-caking this stuff. It's false. It's a false gospel and it's lured many of you away from faith simple faith in Jesus. It's lured you away from New Testament Christianity that is by grace and faith not the works and deeds of the old covenant law. Sorry. Stand fast. Paul tells these people stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. What yoke of bondage he talking about the old covenant law. He tells you behold I Paul saying to you that if you be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing if you're looking to circumcision or anything the feast the zit zit or anything else to make you righteous before God. Christ profits you nothing. This is not me saying this not me making this up not Dean Pastor
Dean being mean and harsh. He goes on to say for I testify again to every man that is circumcised he is a debtor to do the whole law you want to be under the law. It means you have to keep all of it. You cannot do it. You're either going to trust Jesus are going to trust yourself and trying to keep the law one of the two and then he says this Christ has become no effect unto you whosoever you are justified or tried to be made righteous by the law. You are fallen from grace the Torah observant movement is a false gospel. It is error. It is leading you away from Jesus which is why now most of them are afraid to even say the name Jesus in English while they come up with all kind of non suit and sense like it's a it's a derivative of Zeus which is a nonsense. You know, they don't understand Hebrew Greek or or anything like that. They just make up this stuff. But this is another one of these errors that people are falling into and then he goes on to say you better meditate on these things meditate. If you do these things he said if you remember if you remind the brother and of these things he said then you're a you're a good minister. See a good minister folks does not make you comfortable. A good minister tells you the way it is whether you like it or you don't like it and that's why again I say I'm not I usually don't patty-cake people but I'm certainly not this morning at all. Go back to go back to Galatians one. I'm just going with the flow on this. I just want you to see this Galatians one. This is for free this morning. This is bonus material. His Paul and Apostle not of men neither by men but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from there. What's interesting is people go down this road start saying Paul's a false apostle. So why you think he started like this and let's keep going and all the brother which with me into the churches of Galatia. Anyone he says grace be on you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father to him be glory forever and ever. Amen. I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ and to another Gospel which is not another that but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. He said but though we are an angel from heaven preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you. Let him be accursed and this book was directly written about the Judaizers who were trying to take people Christians back under the law of Moses. Anybody doing that is cursed in error and leading people astray. I don't care what their intentions are.
You understand? That's Bible. Now, let's keep going. Now, let's go to Second Timothy and it's just now 12 man. We're making good time like a NASCAR race. It's making these laps. Now, let's go to Chapter 3. I was to start at verse 1 here. I told you we're going to go through a lot of Bible this morning. All right. Y'all okay with that? All right. Now, let's let's look at this starting at verse 1. It says this know also that in the last days perilous or dangerous time shall come for men should be lovers of their own selves covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truce breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good traders heady high-minded lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God now everybody thinks they're talking about the unsaved here not he's talking about this is going on in the church because he said having a form of godliness or an outward form of Christianity but denying the power thereof the word power there's the power of the Holy Spirit and the power of truth. I'll show you he's talking about that but the power there if he says from such turn away for of this sort of they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins let away with divers lust ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth now this would define most of this whole false prophetic movement they end up in all kind of sexual immorality and lust he says they're ever learning never able to come to the knowledge of the truth constantly studying things but always seem to miss the boat then he says now as Janice and Jambres withstood Moses so do these resist the truth men of corrupt minds reparate concerning the faith who are Janice and Jambres they were with Pharaoh they were the magicians who win Moses threw down his rod that turned into a serpent they threw down theirs and it turned into serpents these are the ones that opposed Moses with demonic supernatural power now Moses Rod Serpent devoured theirs but this battle went on between them so he's telling us we're going to have these people that we battle that operate in the supernatural look some of these prophets and prophetesses operate in the supernatural all right it's just not the Holy Spirit the spirit of divination familiar spirits they might get some things right sometimes they might tell you something about yourself they should not be able to know I'm gonna show I'm gonna tell you how what you what you look at how you discern that in just a second but look what he says here let's keep going he said but they're they shall proceed no further for their folly shall be manifest or revealed unto all men as there's also was here's what Paul
says he said okay you're gonna have these false prophets they're even gonna operate in the supernatural they're gonna have an outward appearance of of godliness he says but thou he tells Timothy but thou has fully known my doctrine so I'm right there you want to test these teachers and prophets you need to fully know their doctrine what do they believe if you don't know what they believe about the deity of Jesus about repentance about salvation about end time Bible prophecy if you don't know what they believe you don't know them so therefore don't trust them until you get to know what they believe that's why a lot of these people look on their websites and try to find a statement of faith that's become non-existent now used to be commonplace because you wanted people to see this is the this is what we believe as a church or as a ministry I look on these prophets pages I'm like they got nothing about what they believe you don't know I mean they could be believing that pink rabbits are coming to save you you don't know and some of them do I think I'm joking he says but you have fully known verse 10 but you have fully known my doctrine here it is number one doctrine number two manner of life how do they live do they get along with their wife do they discipline their children are they trying to drive a Lamborghini I said years ago I said if I ever even got to the point where I could afford to drive a BMW Mercedes or Lamborghinis I would not do it as a preacher can't afford that but if I could why because it just looks bad and why would I take that kind of money on a car when we got a whole lot of other needs in the kingdom of God and this is what I'm saying look all you need to do you look at Kenneth Copeland's manner of life any man with a fleet of airplanes and his own airport in his backyard that's listed as an airport with money from the people of God that's his manner of life I mean it's bad enough if you got one jet but a whole fleet of them remember that video he bought Tyler Perry's he said Tyler made that such a good deal I couldn't help but buy it and I just think about the fools that gave him the money to buy it Christians sowing
into that because if you sow into it you're going to get pardon me I'm telling oh and that's why we're on Kenneth Copeland any minister of the gospel that leads you to believe that it's okay to unite with the idolatry of Roman Catholicism is a deceiver and a and a false teacher and a false prophet leading you astray Roman Catholicism is a system of idolatry and perversion why do you think pedophilia is rampant in that the Catholic Church think that's an accident no because there's so many demons in there because they worship Mary and they pray to dead Saints and this is all idolatry and idolatry opens the door to what do we find out demons and it and usually demons of lust and perversion so you hook up with them the Bible says you're not even supposed to eat with idolaters meaning you're not supposed to sit down and have dinner with the Roman Catholic you understand you're to instruct them of what they're in and to come out of it that's why Jesus said about mystery Babylon which is the Roman Catholic Church he said come out of her my people he didn't compromise with it he says a system of idolatry he called it fornication spiritual fornication come out of her my people not stay in there not unite with them not try to get along and kumbaya unity that's all crap you don't surrender truth or compromise with sin or false teaching to preserve unity never ever ever so when these people start talking about ignore what I'm teaching are all my false prophecies or my idolatry or my sin my adultery or whatever it is ignore all that so we can keep peace and unity that's a lying deceiving spirit right there I will not unite with you as long as you're going to bow down to statues of Peter and kiss the toe until it's coming off the statue I'm going to tell you you're in idolatry bowing down to statues of Mary Peter the Pope's got people bowing down to statues of Pope John Paul II praying to it no Bible for this no Bible calling Mary the co-redeemer the co-mediator the Queen of heaven oh yeah there's a scripture about the Queen of heaven and she's a false God and the Roman Catholic Church calls her the Queen of heaven but see there are people right now oh I mean I'm just upset some folks real bad but you know what we've seen people come out of Roman Catholicism Sal and Daniela's parents Bobby and
Terry had a years ago a Spanish from Spain what is exchange student that started coming to my Bible study and all I did was showed her the Ten Commandments where it says you will not bow down yourself to any graven image of course the Catholics took that out of their Bible changed it in the Latin Vulgate so that's not in there about bowing down to statues but it's in the real Bible and I showed it to her and though I just let her I didn't say anything about Roy I said read this and tell me what you think because I knew she was going back to Spain going to go back to Roman Catholicism she'd gotten saved in our Bible study I said read that she read it I said what do you get from that she said the Roman Catholic Church is full of idolatry and I can't go back to it she figured it out can't go back to it Oh Pastor Dean you're such a meanie he said but you have known you have fully known here we go I'm going to get through this quicker my doctrine manner of life how I live my purpose that's the my motives what is my purpose my purpose to do the will of God to do my own will my purpose to get rich to use the people of God's money to buy me a mansion no he said you fully known my faith my long-suffering my charity my own giving patience he said you've known the persecutions I've gone through the afflictions I've gone through and that can mean sickness and infirmity he said which came to me at Antioch and Iconium and Lystra what persecutions I endured but out of them all the Lord delivered me he says yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution and then he prophesied but evil men and seducers that word seducers is go ace it means imposters and magicians who operate in the demonic supernatural he said these will wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived and then what does he say but continue thou in the things which thou has learned and has been assured of knowing of whom thou has learned them and that from a child that has known the holy scriptures which are able to make the wise into salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good work so what is he what is he in this all with you've known the scriptures continue in the scriptures the scriptures make you wise unto salvation does do you see him saying doctrine doesn't matter the written word of God doesn't matter this is anywhere in any of these passages that we've gone through but Julie
Greene says stop with the doctrine chapter four verse one 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 be instant in season and out of season reprove rebuke and exhort with all long suffering and no doctrine no with doctrine for the time will come and they will not endure sound doctrine but after their own lust shall they heaped in themselves teachers having itching ears and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables fables like Trump's going to be back in in 2022 and Biden's going to be out and here we are in 2024 and Biden's still in fables fables for let's put up the definition here real quick doctrine sound we got sound sound the word sound first and then the word doctrine y'all okay with looking this up here Strong's Greek dictionary crazy word here but it means to be sound well to be in good health of Christians says whose opinions are free from any mixture of error we're supposed to be free from any mixture of error into what we believe what we teach is Bible doctrine some people say well that can't be is supposed to be if you just stick with the word you would not get off into some of these things let's let's go down to the Strong's definition just so you see it there it is Strong's definition to have sound health to be well embodied to be uncorrupt true in doctrine that's the word sound and then of course doctrine two different Greek words doctrine means teaching instruction which is taught teaching precepts now what's interesting about that and go to the next one to what's interesting about that is doctrine what doctrine is is systematic study of a subject or a topic all the way through here's what's why we're doing a systematic study this morning on the importance of doctrine right which is systematic teaching of some subject in the Bible whether it be healing or repentance or salvation or deliverance from demons or spiritual warfare or creation we do a systematic you go through all the scriptures you look up the words you take them in their context this is called the for the fancy folks out there is called hermeneutics the laws of spiritual of interpreting the Bible spiritual interpreting it soundly correctly right taking into context looking up the original language understanding the culture the history not
just just just creating something that people create doctrines out of just one or two scriptures and they do and there's other mountain of scriptures that address the issue and they ignore those that's not true doctrine you don't get to just pick one and say oh this is what we believe all right now let's I'm I'm I'm getting through it quick man now go to Romans 16 7 and verse 17 this is how important it is see and this is nothing you want me to tell you nothing is odd go pick any 10 1520 church churches in the area today you will not have people turning in their Bibles for an hour and a half because we don't do this anymore this was normal when I was coming up young guy there were used to be lots of the good churches that would stick to the word and teach the word and preach the word and not get off into la la land but here's what he says about doctrine how important it is he says now beseech you brethren mark them which cause divisions and offenses that the word offenses there mean stumbling blocks contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them so somebody gets in serious obvious error away from sound doctrine of the Bible you are to mark that person and avoid them you're not to hang out with them you're not to eat with them you're not to absorb what they're teaching this is why I have put certain individuals that want to teach false doctrines out of this church they will not stay here my job is to protect the doctrine of the church one of my meeting jobs but this one of many goes on to say for they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly mean their own desires and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple now remember the title this knowing the servants of God this tells you right here anybody that's causing division by teaching false doctrine see I get charged I get charged on that you're causing division because I don't unite with these people like after the first Flat Earth International Conference in Raleigh in 2017 and they wanted to go down the tour Road and the New Age Road and all that stuff and I just blew it up in their faith I just wrote I pulled the pins on the hand grenades of truth and just rolled them in there and said that I'm done I gave them Flat Earth won't save you you must be born again it's no New Age kumbaya nonsense of meditation and finding your own truth and peace Jesus Christ is the
only true God and if you don't find him I don't care how much truth you found out about creation if you don't find Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior know that he is God Almighty the Creator you are still deceived and on your way to hell I told him that did not Bobby Bobby was there roll the hand grenades in see y'all boom I'm out and I got the text messages because they put me on a group text they didn't know I was on it and boy did it ever blow up but see I'm not going to keep I'll step into a place one time give the truth and they won't repent they don't listen that's why it says a heretic after the first and second admonition rejected like you brought correction you brought truth and people just keep rejected walk away you hear me second John oh yeah see I've mentioned second John last week I've preached on it a bunch here so y'all ought to know it by heart it's only one little chapter we might get through before one I'm telling you we might do it I'm working on that second John let's put it up here is that one toward the back of the back of the Bible there one little chapter now we're going to read from verse one the elder unto the elect lady so this is John when he was very old writing to the church he calls the elect lady and her children whom I love in the truth and not I only but also all they that have known the truth for the truth's sake which dwelleth in us shall be with us forever grace be with you mercy and peace from God the father and from the Lord Jesus Christ the son of the father in truth and love he says I rejoice greatly that I found of thy children walking in the truth what is he what is he excited about that they're walking in the truth that is a present tense Greek verb walking its means ongoing continuous action taking place in the present so he said there are people walking in the truth continually ongoing and right now they're in the truth and he says as we receive the commandment from the father now I beseech thee lady not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee but that which he have had from the beginning that we love one another and this is love that we walk after his commandments so you see it's bottom line tells us what love is that you obey the Lord walk with the Lord you prove to people you love him and that you love them by walking in obedience according to his word in a new testament context I have to add that this is the comment that as you have heard from the beginning you should walk in it for many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh this is a deceiver and an antichrist look to
yourselves that we lose not those things which we have wrought but that we receive a full reward whosoever transgressive and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the father and the son if there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house neither bid him Godspeed for he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds now I couldn't be more plain here now it's okay look it's okay we're trying to help somebody it's okay to try to reach out to somebody Jovah witnesses Mormons come to my door I will go talk to them give them the truth they're not coming in and drinking coffee and eating cupcakes you understand I'm not going to sit there and let them spout their false doctrine I will do it for a moment to and I will tell them you're wrong your doctrine is from demons here's what the Bible says you're going to come out of it leave it alone usually they leave they mark my house is don't go there anymore you want to get rid of you want to stop them knocking on your door just answered a few times and give them sit down with them on the porch and give them the truth and they'll say don't go to his house all right I haven't had a Jehovah Witness visit in 10 years all right now but that's also for some of this other stuff we got false doctrines in the church like once you're saved you're always saying no matter how you live the doctrines of Calvinism God chooses some to go to heaven and some to go to hell Jesus limited atonement one of the doctrines of Calvinism Jesus didn't die for all men sins just for the elect Calvinism is the most damnable one of the most damnable set of heresies that's ever entered the church world I'm sorry it is and that's why I don't like the Geneva Bible because you know when the Geneva Bible was printed it had all the doctrines is from Geneva Switzerland by Calvin's people and it had all the footnotes about preaching Calvinistic doctrine and that was spread all over the world that era that demonic and it was favored because Calvin was I believe a closet Roman Catholic Jesuit and his job was to pollute Christianity and that's what Calvinism has done for centuries now. All right, but that's one of those doctrines. It's heresy Calvin had people burned at the stake if you didn't agree with him Michael servitus go look that up the physician Michael service he had burned at the state used green wood so it would take longer because he didn't agree with his Calvinist theology. This is a fact he beat in prison stole property from people that disagreed with his theology. So I have no use for Calvin.
He was a false teacher more than likely a Jesuit. We know he was on the Roman Catholic payroll while he was writing the Chris the Institutes of Christian religion false teacher blind guide leading leading people into the ditch. Now, let's go to Hebrews 5 and 6. This is where probably hopefully work. We're bringing it in for landing though. It might take a minute but Hebrews 5 and 6 and we'll go to Chapter 5 first and we're going to start at verse 11. All right, and it's not even 1230. I'll remember praise and worship went long. So we didn't start at 11. Here we go talking about Jesus here. He says verse 11 of whom we have many things to say and hard to be uttered seeing that you are dull of hearing for when the time you ought to be teachers you have need one to teach you again, which be the first principles of the oracles of God and are become such as have need of milk and not have strong meat for everyone that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness on skillful in the Bible for he is a babe but strong meat belong it to them that are a full age even those who by reason of use have their senses exercise to discern good and evil. He says therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ. Let us go on to perfection or maturity not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and a faith toward God of the doctrine of baptisms and of the laying on of hands and of the resurrection of the dead and of eternal judgment and this we will do if God permit for it is impossible for those who are once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift were made partakers of the Holy Ghost and have tasted the good word of God in the powers of the world to come if they shall fall away to renew them again to repentance seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God of fresh and put him to an open shame. All right now let's back up here. He's talking about discerning those. He said you need to be discerning and he said there are people that are unskillful in the word of righteousness their babes. He said but the person who knows the word that's what he's talking about by reason of use person who knows the word walks in the word spends time with the Lord studying to show themselves approved getting revelation from God because they're spending time with God Holy Spirit giving them understanding revelation. He said they're going to be able to discern but the people who don't if they're unskillful in the word they will not be able to discern and so then he goes on to say that there's these principles of the doctrine of Christ the basic principles and then he lists them
repentance from dead works how many churches teach the pure doctrine of repentance of turning from sin of not living in sin of hating sin anymore what true repentance is. I'm going to tell you right now if they don't teach this doctrine. They are in error by omission. They've left it out and really if you leave this out, what do you have you have you have virtually nothing and what do you say believe in Jesus? Well, if you can believe in Jesus the Devils believe in tremble you must believe enough to actually change actually be convicted of your sin actually feel the compunction. That's one of the definitions feel the guilt of your sin enough to turn away from it, right? How many Christians they don't they say they want Jesus. They want to go to heaven. I say they want fire insurance, but they do not want to truly change. They don't want to quit the drinking. They don't want to quit the sexual immorality. They don't want to quit the pornography. They want an excuse and that's why they turn the grace of God into a license for lasciviousness. They turned it into because of grace. I do whatever I want and it's a lie. It's a deception, but that's just one he goes on to say I'm just going to tell you again. Here's gonna hurt some feelings today. He says repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. I mean we shouldn't have to even talk about dead works going back under the law and faith. They says of the doctrine of baptisms. Oh, somebody say Oh, baptisms plural. There's three baptisms talked about the New Testament the baptism of fire baptism and water the baptism the Holy Spirit. That's why he says baptisms the baptism of fire is when you let the Holy Spirit burn out of you your old life your old ways your old sins you seek him till it starts to burn up. You repent and say Lord I don't want to be that way anymore. I remember when I came back to Jesus. It took me three weeks to stop cussing because that's all I talked like but I was determined. I was going to finally learn to talk right and I asked the Lord to forgive me and to help me until guess what finally got to the point where I remember in my church in Montgomery one time right before church. I was putting up some poster or something and I slammed my finger with a hammer 22 ounce hammer as hard as they could slam it and everybody around me waited.
It's kind of like this morning about half the people were there. You know when we first got here but out here right in there everybody just pause. It was like E.F. Hutton the commercial just waited and then and then after a few minutes and I was you know getting over my my pain. They're like, yeah, we know you're saved but it took me a bit but you know, I was determined. I want the baptism of fire the baptism of water. We go to baptism today. We got baptism. I think next week too and the baptism of water is important but the baptism of water is a step of obedience after you've truly been born again, you truly repented you've truly become a true follower of Jesus and you should obey that but it's still a symbol of what shit has already been done like I'm going to read Romans when we get down there. What is it? You you go down in the water your old life dies. You come up you're raised with Jesus you walk in newness of life. You don't walk in sin anymore. So that Roman says baptism represent and then there's the baptism the Holy Spirit. I've talked about that recently the gift with the evidence of speaking in other tongues and the supernatural then he says the doctrine of the what laying on of hands. Why do you lay hands on people? We lay hands on the people Jesus said believers will lay hands upon the sick and they were covered. He said we lay hands on people what to ordain them to ministry to actually impart gifts to them elders do we lay hands on people to prophesy over them think about there's a whole part of the church that totally ignores all of that. They're the ones that have a form of godliness but no power which the Bible says to turn away from if you're going to a dead church that ignores all of this they are not giving you the doctrine of Christ. They're giving you the doctrine of their denomination or the doctrine of the non- denomination because I mean non-denominational church cannot teach these things to and then he says this and I'm going to end with this here. Then he says this and of the resurrection of the dead the doctrine of the resurrection of dead and an eternal judgment two things there the resurrection of the dead this has to do with the rapture of the church now I know that many of you have been taught you've heard that the rapture of the church happens before the seven year tribulation period before the Antichrist before the market but you've heard all this nonsense false doctrine false doctrine is it can be false. I don't have time to teach on it this moment tell you right now. God may have allowed that nonsense to be not an issue 20 30 40 50 years ago about the timing of the rapture issue but now it's an issue. The Bible does
not teach a pre-tribulation pre-antichrist pre-mark of the beast rapture does not teach it. I've done numerous sermons on it and it's really what the Bible the term rapture is not in the Bible. It's the first resurrection and the first in those contain if you read Revelation 20 the first contained in the first resurrection are those it says who died for resisting the mark of the beast and the Antichrist so how can you be raptured or resurrected before the Antichrist when they're going to be people in the first resurrection who resisted the mark of the beast and the Antichrist and we're beheaded for it. See there can't be a resurrection before the first resurrection because what is that resurrection zero resurrection negative one. I don't know what it is and this is not hard to figure out. I could spin like I said I could spend another hour destroying that but he says of the resurrection of the dead because see what's going to happen people are being told people are being told right now there are people that have prophesied again and again and again and again and again over these last few years the rapture is happening this year the rapture is happening this year the rapture is happening this week this month and every time they do it I say no it's not no it's not because I know what's supposed to happen before it and every single prophecy of the rapture that somebody has given has been false because it's at the end after everything happens. It's not at the beginning. Jesus made that clear Matthew 24 immediately after the tribulation of those days then he sends the angels together his elect Jesus said at the last day I'm going to raise him up not at the last days the last day. It's on the great day of God's wrath at the very end and that's another thing then he says of eternal judgment eternal judgment now. Why did he put that there? He's talking about eternal damnation. He's talking about the doctrine of eternal punishment people going into hell and then into lake of fire and the smoke of their torment going up day and night forever and ever where they have no rest but we've got all kinds of teachings come along saying there's no such thing as hell. God is a God of love so he wouldn't send anybody to hell. There is no punishment. There is no judgment and oh if there is it's just temporary. It's not eternal. Then they say you oh yes people might be thrown to hell but they're annihilated and ceased to exist all of these are false teachings. This is not what Jesus taught. You say Pastor Dean I don't like hearing about him. I'm sorry. You got the false prophet the pink haired lady. What's her name? Cat Kerr pink haired lady said she saw more people in heaven than in hell
in one of her visions. Jesus said that narrow is the way that leads life and few there be that find it but why it is the gate and many will go in that gate to destruction to everlasting damnation. She is prophesying the exact opposite of what Jesus thought but she also seen God in jello and all kind of stuff right but there are people still following her Christians. So I end with this you better know you better start figuring out real quick who the servants of God are and who they're not you better know who you're following. I remember Steve Hill at the Brownsville Revival putting on those sunglasses with the blind man's cane blind man. It was one of the best sermons ever but he said he was whole thing was you better know who you're following and you know Paul said this it's okay. We have leaders in the church. He said follow me as I follow Christ. But boy the moment I stopped following Christ are following Christ doctrine you better stop following me and there's a lot of people who started out good started out in the right direction started out and sound doctrine and now her off base. You got to know when that happens because you might be dealing with a Saul or a Solomon or a Demas who once were faithful and then they become unfaithful and it's sad. There's people I've had to stop following people that I love but they got into error. They got into sin. They got into compromise and idolatry and I had to say I can't listen to this anymore. I can't support this anymore. I can't go this direction anymore and let me tell you you're going to give an account to about who you support you fund these people you help them teach their false doctrines. You're going to be held accountable for it. So you need to be careful who you follow who you support who you give to you better know those that labor among you. Paul said that in Thessalonians know those who labor among you meaning you got to fully know their doctrine manner of life purpose. Are they persecuted for is everybody love them? Jesus said everybody loves the false prophets. Remember all the prophets before before Ahab and Jehoshaphat all the hundreds of prophets go up to Ramath Gilead and prosper and Jehoshaphat had enough discernment. Oh God that the church the true Christians had enough discernment to go. Wait a minute. Is there not a prophet of the Lord here? That's what Jehoshaphat said and you know what Ahab said. There's one guy one and I hate him said I
hate him. He never prophesies anything good concerning me. Micaiah boy and Jehoshaphat said well basically I'm not going to the battle with you unless you go bring him here and of course he comes and this is why he's first thing he says yeah go to Ramath Gilead and prosper. Basically he he wanted to see he knew he's going to die there. It's like I don't get go ahead and go go Ahab. I want you to die. Maybe I get out of prison. You're wicked man. Anyway, finally Jehoshaphat says tell me the real word of the Lord and the true prophet one against eight hundred and fifty one prophet says I saw the Lord saying who will go and deceive Ahab that he may go up to Ramath Gilead and die. He said and then a spirit step forth said I'll do it and the spirit the Lord said to the spirit. How you going to do it? He said I will go be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. See I have for some reason he was hell bent on going to Ramath Gilead and fighting that battle and the Lord said allowed he didn't the Lord didn't do it. He allowed a lying spirit to go do it but notice it said he put a false prophecy in the mouth of all eight hundred and fifty of them and I'm going to tell you there's a lying prophet lying spirit in about 99% of this entire prophetic movement that's in the church world right now. I wouldn't give you a wooden nickel for most of them. They're leading people astray. They are milking them for money manipulating them using flattery. Some of them are getting some of them through prophecies to get undressed for them. You're going to be my spiritual wife. Yeah, I know I have a wife but I die, you know, oh, yeah, let's stand. Let's see knowing the servants of God. Do you know fruit? You got some goofball walking out looking like Ozzy Osbourne up there in North Alabama run talking about God's in a big square of jello. I mean, I really believe the devil goes, let me
see what they'll tell what they'll believe. Let me just see Jesus help us. Don't be misled and I'll be the first to tell you if you ever see me getting off the Bible sound doctrine the manner of life run away. Don't stay. I'm telling you we have to obey the Lord. We have to separate ourselves from that stuff. You should want to be around people who fear God, love God, love the word. They're not hunting the next prophetic word. Here's another thing. These people run into and fro to find the next prophetic word from some big prophet. Let me tell you what's wrong about that. You should have your own relationship with God and be hearing from him. If he's got to use a prophet to talk to you, you're probably not listening. Nine times out of ten, it's because you are not listening or he's already told you you're not paying attention and he sends somebody to say, hey, the Lord is saying this to you and you'll know if it's from God because you know, yep, God's been talking to me about it and I've been doing. I hadn't been listening, but God wants you to hear from Lord. You should be hearing from the Lord not running after prophets. You know, I mean here's some of these prophets like this Joseph Z. Oh, he's got a word about there's going to be there's going to be a cyber attack. Oh, big big prophetic word the Chinese and the Russians and everybody else been threatening us with cyber attacks for decades now and been doing them regularly. In fact, Colonel Sean Smith that I met in Montgomery during the testifying about the voting machines. I mean, he was a cyber expert. That was his job to try to stop. He said we're getting cyber attack every day. Every day. He said we can't stop them all. It's so it's so like I said, if something does happen at this Super Bowl, it's been prophesied over every Super Bowl. It's something bad is going to happen for as long as I can remember. Like I said, somebody's going to eventually get it right and everybody's going to go. Oh, it's a new prophet in town. No, if if one of the Super Bowls or some other big event has a terrorist attack or some kind of crazy thing happens. It shouldn't be a surprise our country's being flooded now with Chinese Muslim. I have border agent friends that let me know they've been working on the border for 20 30 years. They let me know exactly what's been coming across the border all these years.
Qurans and prayer rugs and Chinese young men. Y'all better get ready. They're going to sabotage the grid. They're going to hit the day's going to come. They get it. What was it in that movie salt? They called it day X. They got a day day X and that interesting. Everything's turning to X now, right? But day X is coming where they're going to let all the sleeper cells wake up. They're going to attack the grid. They're going to do all this stuff. You don't have to be a prophet to look and see what they're doing and what they're going to do. But the issue is what you better be close to Jesus in the Word of God and learning to hear the Lord for yourself and discerning because the Lord is going to give you specific things to do when the bovine excrement hits the fan and it's going to hit the fan in America. It's amazing that it hasn't yet. That's the mercy of God has been holding off for us. He's gone way beyond what he should have been. I remember I preaching that on in September 9th of 2001 Sunday morning. I said I was talking about the blessings of God and the Holy Spirit came on me and I said there should have already been a terrorist attack on Washington DC and New York City and I feel like it's coming two days later. And I was saying then how many times has God delivered us and protected us and we didn't even know it. How many times have they tried to detonate a nuke within our country and it's been stopped by God? How many times have been many other multiple type terrorist attacks that God has just said not now not yet and be we and thank God we have some good guys still in there. We got some good people still in the FBI and the CIA and all that. There's good people in there as bad people in there. But that's why you need to be praying for them. But stop it with these foolish just foolishness read your Bible pray know those that labor among you know who the servants of God are know who the charlatans are. You got to know it for yourself. Let's pray father. I thank you Lord for your word. I know this has been a long teaching as it was last week Lord, but it has to go forth. We live in an age of where you said in the last days there will be many false prophets deceiving many and they're everywhere and I pray Lord God that many would break free from this deception by the truth of your word by the systematic teaching of sound doctrines that they would see I need
to know their doctrine their manner of life their purpose their faith their behavior Lord I pray that you would give us discernment that we will come a people skillful in the word of righteousness in the Scriptures and listening to the Holy Spirit and we would not support proper backup these false teachers and false prophets. So we won't do it Lord. But I pray for this now in Jesus name. Amen. All right. Well, I am not going to hold y'all any longer, but I do want you to if you can stay this morning. We have I think just one being baptized. I think today. So we're going to go immediately. We're going to go downstairs and she's going to change. I'm going to get changed. I want as many of you as can to stay witness the baptism because that's what it's about baptisms or like weddings to be witnessed. And so I want you to do that and then everybody can go get their get their lunch and come back and eat if you can. We'd love for many of you to stay as you possibly can. Some of you may have to go, but we want you to do that if you can. So y'all know the rule the drill hugs them next before you leave and say bye to all those watching out there different parts of the world. God bless you.
