   Yes, Lord. We ask you to light the fire. Waken our souls and our spirits, Lord, to you, to your ways, to your word. Oh, do we need understanding and revelation in your word. We don't want to just have knowledge, Lord. We want to have understanding. And truly, Lord, as it is defined, knowledge is an understanding gained by experience. Too many people think they know you, but they they don't know you as they ought to know you. And when you tell people that, they get offended. But some people have deceived themselves. We just pray that their eyes be opened, their hearts be open, that they would know you, they would come to know you, not just know about you, not just go to church or be religious, but they would come to know you, Lord Jesus, in a real powerful way, Lord. that they would be born again, that they would have an ongoing relationship with you, two-way conversation, being led by the Holy Spirit. That's what it's all about. Discerning what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing, not what we think. Lord, we pray for your grace and help in this time. And it's in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. And you may be seated. Thank y'all so much. That was good. I love What is that little thing there? Ukulele. Baritone. Little bit bigger. Oh, that sounds good. We're going to continue the world you live in. This part four. I've just entitled this the brainwashed. Um, it's really amazing how we have a bunch of Christians now that probably the at their at best they are babes in their relationship and their knowledge and their understanding of sound doctrine of the Bible, how to study the Bible, how to interpret the Bible, how to be led by the Holy Spirit. I'm talking about on every level when it comes to salvation. Most of them can't explain that. Certainly, they're wrong about creation. 99% of them. They're wrong. I'd say well over half that claim to be the church now are completely wrong about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit that they deny and reject. Um, then you got the Calvinism crowd that believes, you know, some are predestined to go to heaven and some are predestined to go to hell. All kind of nonsense like that. Then you got uh different degrees of Calvinism, but most all of them believe you're once saved, always saved, no matter how you live.

   Now, here's what the problem is. There is so much error, deception, lack of knowledge, lack of understanding uh within Christianity. But the problem is is that they arrogantly believe they know. That's the problem. Even the ones, remember Paul rebuked the Corinthians who thought they were something. And he said, "You are babes. You think you're hot stuff, but you are just babes because you have no understanding. You have no discernment." Oh yeah, some of the gifts manifest among you. Yes, you have some knowledge, but you're still babes. And can you imagine how offended they were with him? I mean, and here's what's even more wild, that the Corinthian church had the arrogancy, the pride to think that they could come against the Apostle Paul, who was the very founder of their church. They wouldn't even exist without him being there for 18 months and laying the foundation and leading people to the Lord and taking all the heat and doing the miracles and casting out the demons and establishing biblical Christianity among them and establishing that church and they have the audacity to come against him. This is this is where we live really the Corinthian church. Why why do I say the Corinthian church? Because being a port city, they were a very wealthy city. And some say around that time period before the end of the first century, the the church of Corinth was over 40,000 members. And Paul has to rebuke them. And they were allowing sin to go on and they were just they were a mess. And Paul had to try to straighten them out. But I, you know, here's the thing. I can't straighten any of these people out. They don't going to listen to me anyway. But they won't listen to anybody. And that's the thing about, you know what I believe? I'm just going to tell y'all why God sent me into this certain last time and this time, the political race. I'm a messenger. I'm a prophet to them. Whether they like it or not, I'm like the last warning they're going to get. and they just can't stand it. Even the so-called Christians. And what did the Lord say? I'm going to send you apostles. I'm going to send you prophets. I'm going to send you wise men. And you're going to go, "No, thank you." And this is what is going on. We live in the world of the brainwashed.

   And they don't even understand that the Bible tells them that the end time Jesus warned what four times in Matthew 24. Take heed, no man deceive you. Many shall come and my name deceive many. Many false prophets shall rise and deceive many. False Christ, false prophets arise, do great signs and wonders in so much that they shall what? Deceive even the very elect. Paul told Timothy, second Timothy chapter 3, deceivers, those deceived and being deceived are going to what? Wax worse and worse. And we're about to step into the final delusion, the final big deception of the aliens, the whole alien deception. And we're about to move into that. It's getting closer and closer by the day. And here's the thing. If these Christians will not hear the word of God, what it has to say about it, if they will not hear the messengers that God is sending them, guess what's going to happen to them? They will be sucked in by the final delusion. Now, I want to go to Hosea chapter 4. We're going to start there this morning. And I believe what I'm about to read applies to the church in America and most of the world, but especially America today. I know here he was talking to Israel, but all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine. So I believe this applies to us. So let's read it. Verse one, hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. Why? Because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. Now, think about who he was talking to. He's talking to the people of God. He was talking to Israel. He was talking to the religious crowd. He was talking to the people believe they had the scriptures that they had the prophets and and he tells them there's no knowledge of God in this land. They might have I'm sure some of the priests just about lost their minds. They were just so offended. But God what God sends prophets to say what needs to be said. And then he tells them the problem. Why is there no truth, no mercy, no knowledge of God in the land? He says, "By swearing and lying and killing and stealing and committing

   adultery, they break out and blood touches blood. Therefore shall the land mourn and everyone that dwelleth therein shall languish with the beast of the field and with the fowls of heaven. Yay, the fishes of the sea shall also be taken away." And he says, "Yet no man," he says, "Yet let no man strive nor reprove one another, for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Therefore, thou shalt fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall within me." And they got their own prophets and teachers that tell them what they want to hear. And he says, I will destroy thy mother. And then he says this, verse six, and this is a verse we hear often. My people, God said, my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, and thou shalt be no priest to me. Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. The reason is not that they are not told, they're not warned, they're not corrected. God will always send someone to tell you. If you won't listen to him and you won't listen to his word, then he's got to send somebody to tell you. And can I just go ahead and say I've been that person in life quite a lot over the last 38, 39 years. God has sent me to governors, to judges, to mayors, to other pastors, to other prophets, big and small. Sometimes I was the last person that God ever sent to somebody before they passed away and had to give an account. Um, and it's a responsibility, but I believe it's not just mine. I believe all of us are supposed to be led by the Holy Spirit to be his mouthpiece and his voice in any situation he tells you to go. You know, just this morning, my wife had some dude on her page attacking her and me for daring to get involved in the political arena like it's somehow it's a sin. I wonder what he would have said to Joseph or Nehemiah or Daniel. Don't you know the system's corrupt? Don't you know it's pagan? Yes, we know. God put them in there for a reason. To confront the whole system, to expose the whole system, to do some good for some people. But my wife answered the dude and said, "Who do you think?" Basically, who do you think you are? Do you think you know what everybody else is being led by the Holy Spirit to do?
