This sermon emphasizes the importance of not exalting the flesh but instead giving thanks to God for His ministry and the spiritual gifts He has placed in individuals. It delves into the significance of Jesus Christ as the exact representation of God's nature, the purification for sins, and the love that raised believers up with Him in heavenly places. The message warns against compromising the Word of God due to hidden sins or idols in one's life, highlighting the need to love the Lord wholeheartedly and avoid straying towards worldly temptations.

Not exalting flesh. We're just saying thank God for God's ministry and thank God we live in a nation We can still do that. Let's thank God for the ministry gift that he's placed in brother Milton Green Praise God Praise God God I've read spoken long ago Through the prophets to the people and many portions in many ways in these last days have spoken us through his son Whom he's appointed heir of all things and through whom he's made the world He's a radiance of his glory the exact representation of his nature upholds all things by the word of his power and when he's made purification for sins He sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high and because of the great love he's loved us He's raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus in order the end ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of his grace and kindness toward us in Christ Jesus Jesus Christ is exact image the invisible God the firstborn of all creation and in and through Jesus Christ All things are created in heaven and earth Visible and invisible where the throne dominions rules or authority everything is created through Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is before all things and in Jesus Christ all things hold together Jesus Christ is also the head of the church for here at the beginning the firstborn of the dead that he should come to have first Place and everything and all the fullness should dwell in him and God has reconciled all things to himself Having made peace through the blood the cross and although you were formerly alienated Walking in the flesh you were hostile to God He's reconciled you and his fleshly body through death that you he should protect you before him Holy and blameless before him in love glory be to God forevermore So Praise God So in Jesus Christ the fullness of the God Head wells bodily in Jesus Christ were made complete all their sins have blotted out and nailed the cross and in Jesus Christ We're sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise God glory be to God forevermore Well, I think you're gonna make it tonight I Don't think a ship's gonna sink for you This is good news, isn't it? how to overcome walking love and And we started someone who's leading to praise your while back last week He's talking about David was the days that David did was spinning fits So I hope we get in a few of them for this week's over.

Okay? Let me hug your neck brother I Know everything fine brother. It's just perfect everything. I'm gonna say nothing about nothing brother. I just love everything Praise God turn to Malachi You Don't hear some good stories tonight You know what I think one of the most encouraging things for Make it Malachi 3 For someone who teaches the Word of God is to see people see when God puts something in your heart When In other words when God gives you a heart Gives you a party put something in your heart to go to the part and what I tell you what just I'm telling you what? it just about Does me and I'm telling you is to see people excited the word and see them excited about this I'm gonna tell you what if people are not excited about the word and receiving the word They're not be I'm telling you they have a problem with the powers of darkness. They have a tremendous problem Praise God Now we're going to be talking and having some understanding about the fiery trials that we go through Of course, I mean we're what we're interested in overcoming We're interested in a walk of peace We're interested in pleasing God and walking no matter where they can and please him, right? Now I have a lot of scripture that I want to use here We're going to tie some things together that I believe if you want to walk I think it might change your life here tonight give you understanding and when when you have understanding about these things You can walk through the rivers and walk through the fire, right? Amen standing on the word verse 1 Malachi 3 verse 1 behold I'm going to send my messenger Before me That's John the Baptist. This is Jesus speaking and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple and the messenger of The Covenant that's the Lord Jesus Christ and whom you delight Behold he is coming said the Lord a host Who can endure the day of his coming and he who can stand when he appears for he's like a refiner's fire And he's like fuller soap. Now, let me share something with you The only way that you can make it through this world Without being destroyed by the powers of darkness who are the fire Is to have the protection and a hedge of God Everyone in this world is destroyed and removed from this world By the powers of darkness if they don't If they're not walking in covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ now We explained last night when you when you when you do any act against God or against your neighbor the hedge comes down and the powers of darkness can move and Do you get that sin covered by the blood? Get repented because it breaks God law Now if you don't repent the powers of darkness can put more change more change and they build fortresses One of the fortress is a root. What is the root? That's but the root is the motives of our heart Now all the motive is supposed to be as unto the Lord We're trying to please the Lord and ever thought we have and ever deed that we have But see if we have a root of greed to move in then their motives change We're trying to fulfill greed in their lives. We love greed If we see in that root of greed builds into a fortress And sicknesses and diseases come off of these portraits and begin destroying your body The same thing about pride pride is a another root if he motives become pride or greed see us if that's a character nature of Satan that's for obeying to God and See you when you're walking in this you don't have any protection from God If you practice it and won't overcome it see we're all overcoming some things. You better be overcoming Another would be the approval of man for instance if approval of man If many and many of you have ever had depression and many of you even considered suicide suicide follows depression But it all started because you wanted approval of man Then you got into rejection see if you motive had been Jesus instead of wanting approval of man You'd never suffer rejection because are your relationship with everyone is an unto the Lord But then when you were hurt are are disappointed in some person Then you became rejected Then you became angry this is the steps at the powers of darkness, but can put to put that up there brother This is the steps at the powers of darkness again building the first thing here is your root of It's coming up there and be up there in just a minute It's good about it likes about two inches and it's going to be up there about three inches coming up now It's gone there it is I Say it's a root approval of man That there's a war going on, but don't know but is in it now now aren't you brother? It's gone Okay, there's the approval of man use the root and motive of your heart is supposed to be the Lord Jesus Christ, right? All right, this is when you see this is the ways This is a ministry of the devil to get you to seek the approval of man So when you seek the approval of man, the powers of darkness can work rejection and he start building the fortress This is what brings torment this what destroys all your peace And these are the things that powers of darkness building your life to destroy you Now I want you to know that you can sit inside of a church building be destroyed That's how Babylon the church the Babylon whore harlot church It speaks blessings and curses in the last days as a dwelling place of demons Which we'll see and understand my name drop it down a little bit brother So we're seeking this approval then you get the next thing you'll be rejected now. How many is your head depression? Hold up your hand All right now see I'm going to show you this is where it all started next thing. It happened you this disappointment You became angry toward that person think back You got hate in your heart you had even murder in your heart murdered I hate and anger is the same Well, you don't separate yourself and somebody Then you got into unforgiveness See, this is a fruit this fruit began cut to see here's the root the approval of man And then this fruit began coming out your mouth. Can you hear somebody in criticism? Can you hear somebody in unforgiveness? Can you hear anger? Can you hear rejection? Are you hearing me? See this is discernment that we're supposed to have to set people free We get them set we get them repent of that and then let the stronghold get them off of Jesus name All right, then he got in on forgiveness and resentment and then criticism speaking curses on the person Bitterness diseases come off of bitterness and then after the Bitterness You got into self-pity Every one of you to held up your hands right then you got into self-pity and you begin feeling sorry for yourself and Then the more bitterness and the self-pity you got in that was to the degree that The depression was on you The world out there gives people medication for that and take and psychologists and psychiatrists of the world Teach you when you go to them they teach you how to live with it How to live with strongholds how to live with the powers of darkness how to cope with it Because they don't understand it's a spiritual problem. You've got So people in that that that depression gets so bad on a person and more bitter and unforgiveness self-pity gets into the more the powers that I can put this depression on him and Then he comes to the place where he dreads even going he dreads not and he dreads more It's like the curse and Deuteronomy 28 and then they'll eventually Show him a talk of suicide to talk him into that There's nothing else to live for and then he'll use overdose jump off a bridge or whatever like and destroy it. That's how it happens Quiet now, what do you think the world in the church should tell you how to do? They'll tell you the same thing the world they teach you how to cope with these things. They give you The little counseling and tell you how to cope and live with it You what you need to do is repent and in two minutes you can be free from it If you come the Lord with all your heart and place you don't have to get a running start or nothing all of it to just leave and see and so This is the fire This is a power the powers of darkness the one who wants to pull these roots in you and get the and see the same Thing agreed the same the only root is supposed to be in your life It's the Lord Jesus Christ every motive is unto the Lord That's how you love the Lord with all your life If heart if you don't love the Lord with all your heart, you've got some problems. You don't turn it off there Walter. Thank you Okay. Now we're in Malachi We're going to see this fire that we go through and this is the kind of things the powers of darkness want to get us To do get you know what we're supposed to do. You understand now look back up here at me You know, we're supposed to love our neighbors herself to fulfill the law. Is that right? All right, if we're gonna love our neighbors herself, that means we have to be perfected in love You don't just say I'm going to go love my neighbors herself and then go let me step No, you have to be perfected in love How are you perfected in love by the Word of God in the Spirit of God? And then what does that mean? Jesus Christ is formed in you you will have a divine nature which we're going to see here tonight How love is perfected in you how you overcome how you walk in peace how and how you're destroyed in the fire, too And the last days are going to be a great falling away of the church You're sitting in the middle of it We're in Matthew 25 where everybody has been asleep the wise and the foolish to we've been waking up We've been waking up and the wise are going to come to the Word of God the foolish love the approval of men They like to look at smart folks. They bowed academics. They bowed to Intellect they bowed to any other all other things But they never come to Lord the whole heart because they've got some nice group like the Pharisee They love approval of men mad and approval of God That's what get got this stronghold in to the fellow right there the approval of man So the Lord lets the powers of darkness everyone in the world is being destroyed With every sin that they ever word they speak against their neighbor I Want to tell you when you any kind of you can have peace in your place in a moment the conversation speaks and and it's not Love toward your neighbor the presence of God moves out and the presence of the powers of darkness can move in They have a right to God's left until you repent and get that repent of these things and then the Spirit of God have moved Back and that's how you have peace and that's how you keep peace And when people of the world are speaking these curses and words against her brother They're getting their judge or judge when they condemn their condemned Well, I won't pardon their pardon and chain on top of chain and stronghold on stronghold Oh, and they build these fortresses in them until they destroyed a Christian when he loses this piece He knows he's done something wrong. He doesn't blame God God. I've self pity Why'd you ever do this to me and that sort of thing? He just gets more of the powers of darkness on him when it no he says I'm wrong I've done something wrong and I don't have peace right now. So you get before God you say Lord I love you more than I do anything else show me what it is and Lord to show it to him Then he repents from it It's placed under the blood and in he Lord forgives him and then he's no longer a lawbreaker and the powers of darkness have to But out they have to back up ride the hedge returns and he's back in peace But the person who has a form of godliness listen to me The people who walk in a form of godliness Do not walk with repentant hearts and so the powers of darkness continue to build chain on chain and chain as I told you before The powers of darkness how you died to the flesh is the powers that the Lord will let the powers of darkness Bring pressure if you're in rejection, they'll set you up to be rejected and rejected and rejected or injected until you die to it Amen You'll quit seeking seeking approval of man. You start seeking approval of God and rejections all over Amen, when you're seeking approval of God, you're not gonna be angry. You're not gonna have hate you're not gonna have murder You're not gonna have unforgiveness. You're not gonna have criticism I cost your law or God's approval more than you do wants that selfish self-nature, but are you here what I'm saying? and it's during these pressures that the powers of night they do it through people and If you've got a little bit of reputation a little bit of pride They'll come and persecute you for the word's sake and get you to back off the word if you have that much reputation You want to protect or you want that much approval of man? You'll back off the word because you love these things more than you do the Lord and they can put chain chain chain Now I'm gonna tell you God demands that you love the Lord with all your heart And then the Word of God in the Spirit of God will perfect the divine nature in you Now that is a nightmare that we've waken up from because we've been to many degrees Walking in a form of godliness and that form of godliness been getting us destroyed right in the midst of the congregation Now there's some some of us that learn some more and know some more another but we need to keep going on There's a lot of things more. I'm going to until you Jesus Christ is formed in you, right? Is that right? Amen now with Malachi 3 All right. Now this is way Jesus does it he's got he's had to refer he's like a refiners fire verse 2 and a fuller soap at verse 3 and he will sit as a smelter and a purifier of silver sound like you're gonna be saved as through fire, doesn't it and He'll purify the sons of Levi That's us and he'll refine them like gold and silver. May I ask you what that goal is? Folks it listen to me now look at me. It's when this pressure is on you that you stand there and then you don't look too good and Somebody has come against you They reviled you and instead of reviling back You stand right there and you and once I said it last night I won't say it again. You can explain boy. I'll tell you what you can really fix this wagon right there You can really get him straight, but you don't do it You stand right there because You're wanting to look good to God more than you want the proofs I mean my to the world the reputation of flesh and get the approval of people and so you die You've died of that pride. You've died to that reputation You've died yourself and that's the way you do it You die because when the pressures come you stand in the Word of God and I'm going to tell you if you stand there stood there While you're going to see in the Word that the Lord is going to confirm you He's going to strengthen you. That's how you're perfected in love and then he establishes you in this covenant right here But he's going to have all your heart first because he chose you to bear fruit of love this this fruit will remain You're not gonna go backward you go forward you're going to endure at the end You're going to overcome and then whatever you ask in the Father's name He's going to give it to you and that's how the prayer of a church that he's building into us right now I'll tell you what We don't have to wait for the man to come to town anymore Our prayers get answered when we're burning being perfected in love. Amen a pair of a righteous man availeth much praise God so Let's look in verse 5 He said then I'm gonna draw near to you Oh, and I didn't finish that verse 3 and he will sit as a smeller and purify sever and he'll purify the sons of Levi He's going to refine them like gold and silver brother when you go through the fire if you're well If your foundation is wood hay and stubble if you're standing on a foundation of sand Can I tell you what a foundation of sand is a form of godliness if you're a carnal? Doctrine that does not conform you to godliness if you're standing there Then the powers of darkness will come of this form and they'll put chain on chain and that fire will burn you up because your foundation Was sand how many see that hold up your hand, but if you're standing on the word, you're not just a hearer of the word You're a doer of the word and you stand right there in that word when that pressure comes and then when it comes right there You just keep standing on God's Word and you just let it just you suffer in the flesh But you see some sin and then they'll come a day when the pressures come and it won't move you that much You know why because the glory and strength and everything Jesus is is upon you and You're stronger than anything the devil ever wants to bring you are when you're in the fire But you got that's the way you put to death the deeds of the flesh you stand and you don't revile back You don't insult for insult you die right there in it. Amen Now, let me tell you something if you're not dying in it Listen to me Somebody's not looking If you're not dying in it, then you're hitting back at your neighbor you're hitting back you're hitting back because you have to prove Reputation you have to prove pride. You got to look good And every time you do every time you do the change change Bondage bondage stronghold stronghold fortress fortress and the next thing they're visiting you in a hospital. I Hope you're hearing what I'm saying Now I'm gonna show you remember Hebrews 12 and I want to show you how these things work there now, I'm with you. Amen Just tying that part right there now verse 5 Now we're gonna wait. I'm on finish three We're gonna be finding a gold and silver so that so that so that you're gonna go through the fire So that you may present to the Lord all brings in righteousness put up Jesus up there the fruit of Jesus Walter The fruit of Jesus now put it where we can see the bottom there first brother Here we go And then this lip at four inches three to Move it up. No boy And we got there, okay now this is a man right here the root love Jesus this is the inner man right here This is your heart. That's a real you're not your pumper. That's the real you right here Now you have purified your heart right there. You have gone through the fire. You've died to anger hate murder Unforgiveness resentment and all these things are just died to him You've died to him you quit live your minds not on I mean my your mind is as unto the Lord you died to him and Died to him and died to him and they leave you they leave you they leave you when you prove Prove you love the Lord more than anything else. You're suffering that pretty soon. He'll just come down on you and it's gone and Then he'll bring something else he'll get rid of the other you'll be reading a word He said that's got to go and then it he'll bring that thing in on you right there and you died to it And then he and then you prove you love him more than you do to anger you prove you loved him more you unforgiveness You prove him you more than pride and boy and when you get through I'm going to tell you what that thing I'll leave you in a comforter. I'll get all over you. That's when he comforts a man Glory be to God forevermore. That's good And then when you go through the fire All these temptations you stop these temptations you put up a shield of faith You don't let it get down in your heart. So you're going to speak it out of your mouth you stop anger Unforgiveness resentment criticism ever all of these things are against you neighbor. You stop them right up here You take every thought captive the beat. It's a Jesus You don't let it get in your heart because you're purifying you're possessing the land. There's a stronghold behind anger There's a stronghold besides hate. There's a stronghold behind pride. There's a stronghold behind up again. These are the Canaanite nations It's on the land. You're going to possess the land from him. Amen You've got the sword you got your weapons in Ephesians 6 and you're going to get them off a land in Jesus name And then after you've gone through the fire you possess the land you have a pure heart You conform to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ and then we got a new fruit the fruits what comes out of your mouth The fruit is an evidence of the love in your neighbors yourself It's coming out of your heart and this is how you present to the Lord fruit of righteousness Love joy peace long-suffering goodness jealous meekness tempts and faith. Are you seeing what I'm saying? Now, let's read that again. Thank you. You're gonna put you through the fire as if I see in this Hey, man, all right now verse five, I mean for three I'm gonna sit as a smeller and purifier sever. He's gonna purify the sons of Levi He's gonna refine them like gold and silver So that so that so that you go through the fire so you can die to the flesh so that circle so that about three times So that you may present to the Lord offerings and righteousness That is the offerings and righteous to love the Lord with all your heart your neighbors yourself, that's the only righteousness they are that God receives He's not a Lutheran righteousness And not a Catholic righteousness He's not a Baptist righteousness Methodist righteousness there over 400 denominations and teachings in this country The Pharisees established their own righteous. They had a zeal for God, but there they were ignorant to the righteousness of God so they established Their own righteousness they say you do this this this this and you go to heaven Today folks say You do this this this this Come and join up and let this have your heart and you can go to heaven This one said you do this this this this is a way to heaven This this this this is a way to heaven This this this this is a way to heaven. Let's do that over 400 times and then let me tell you Somebody's wrong And you know what you do when you've done this this this this this Then you become offended but the part of the Bible it doesn't fit into this this this this this You become offended And Jesus becomes a rock of offense in a stumbling song just as he did the Pharisees He tried to lead them out of spiritual darkness, but the words he spoke wouldn't fit into this this this and this that's where the power of the darkness lead people to get this this this and this and Then they can't be led into all truth and Then there's not the unity of the church. There's not the unity of the faith. They're not perfected in love They're not and one heart and one mind as a church of acts Was there a pattern But to compare their self among herself measure self by their separate it without understanding now, let me tell you what this is When you let this this this this capture your heart And you make your commitment to this this this this in your heart You establish your own righteousness and you do not submit to the righteous that comes to God You know what? This is called Legalism As man's rules to be perfect in love and Galatians he talks and people have you start you foolish Galatians Have you started in a spirit and now you're going to be perfected in the flesh Are you going you know the words are you going are you going to be perfected? Walking in the flesh you you got a doctrine. It's contrary and it's distorted and now you're going to be perfected walking in the flesh See look at me Love it If I do this this this this this go to heaven Put up the flesh, please That's a lot easier for me To do this this this this this Than it is to endure a sound doctrine and be led by the Spirit of God to put to death all these things and die Now Are you seeing what a doctrine of demons is Doctrine the demons teach people. It's all right to practice them and say practice them. They're destroyed And James 4 is as a James 3 and 4 they speak blessings and curses against your neighbor said, you know You can't you're gonna have two natures instead of one nature How can you have a divine nature if you've got the nature of the devil tell me? This wisdom that when you come from above its world flesh and demonic Said when you pray You pray a miss Because you want to cast it on your own lust In other words you want you pray and you want me to come down cooperate you while your heart still seeking greed and pride in the nature and character of Satan You're not led by the Spirit of God You've already building your tower in the heaven this this this and this You got smarter than God By the way, I want to is the Church of Jesus Christ is supposed to be Is there only one Jesus? Is there only one that go on gospel? There's only one church That Bible in your lap only talks about one and they love one another, you know, why? They're led by the Spirit of God to put this to death so they can be perfected in love But if you're got a form of godliness You're destroyed in it That's what I want to show you in your Bible this week and can I tell you something It's good news Because we've been being We've been living a whole bunch of stuff folks That God didn't intend for us live with Now what I want you to do is put what I just told you on the shelf. I Don't receive nothing from any man until I see it in the word or have it confirmed me to God And now I want to go through the Word of God and I want to show it to you these next two nights And I'm going to tell you what? It's gonna set you free Amen Now we're going to get to Malachi 3 5 now then I'm going to draw near to you for judgment I'm gonna sweep a swift witness Against the sorcerers, that's what he called Babylon the the harlot against the adulterers against those who swear falsely against those who oppress the wage earner in the wages the winner and Offering and those who turn aside the alien and they do not fear me. Let me ask you something If all you had to do is just do this this this this this you'd never know about this judgment We've been talking about in the fire, would you? Then if you don't know about these things You're blind to the fear of God, aren't you? The fear of God is good It's good, it's a lot better than fearing the devil and man Amen he's something to fear. I don't tell you something. Let me you get this right Now this is gonna be hard on some folks, but I'll say it God is in no war right now with the powers of darkness except to have fear When you walk with him he can remove them Not one demon does one thing including Satan without the permission of God You Say you know that that's the thing that set you free not one see God is one in charge folks We don't have to go help God out with a devil When you get in on what God's up to you don't go around with your mind on what the devil is doing We have our mind on what Jesus is saying I don't go around my mind on what the devil is, but when you got your mind on Jesus, you'll know something comes in It's not God Amen And then when you're walking in this love and everything you would see we'll be able to discern This fruit and one another we'll see and we have one another in love. We don't condemn one another. We all need help I need help. I need help. I'll tell you this pastor. Here's help me. I just you you can't know how much That God's use him to minister to me, buddy. I'm I'm I Needed some help and I still need help. I need help in the body of Christ But I'll tell you something Not one demon By the way, God created him and he didn't make him too complicated. He couldn't control him. All right you either And so the powers of darkness want to build some big thing in our mind About them about them big deal The big deal and there's only one big deal. That's the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Praise God And I'm gonna tell you something folks don't make it that let me get down close to you take this Don't make this some deep dark Complicated thing about falling Jesus when you do you've missed him you're listening to the devil or traditions or something like that Let me say that over here Don't make following the Lord Jesus Christ Something complicated complicated when you decide to love the Lord with all your heart do that first or the rest of it's not gonna work and Then you choose with your heart and your will to love me as yourself. I Want you to know that the Spirit of God? and The Word of God and he'll lead you and he'll show you and you won't have any problem because he's going to he he'll make you Something you ain't All right, I don't make don't make these things complicated. It's something we get in on Faithful see it called you and he'll bring it to pass but he can't bring it to pass in a bunch of devils You gotta love him with all your heart and you got to choose to love and the whole Bible right here Here's to show you I'm sorry The whole Bible here to show you It's perfect the divine nature of God in you you you turn away from the nature of Satan the nature of thing You know with this stuff in your mind right up here jealousy pride anger worry all these things You've got the mind of Satan And your mind is set on the flesh if your mind set on the flesh It's what death because all these things break God's law and the law brings death and he's no head to protection from God Is that correct? You follow me? Well, don't make these things too complicated because I'm gonna tell you they're gonna fit in it's going to be the word that minister in short to you God's got the power God's in control we come to God with all our heart and The Spirit of God know this Bible is to perfect you and then the divine nature of God A pure heart When this is removed from your heart right here and you possess the land every time I'm telling you God ever since Abraham. He's had some land from the possessor. You hear what I'm saying? Can I tell you something if you practice anger You've got a stronghold of anger on you That's part of the Canaanite nations, it's got to come off the land If you practice hatred and criticism, you've got a stronghold of hatred and criticism ever fruit. There is a Satan That you practice you've got a stronghold behind it I don't come up with any cute sayings right there and everything and act like you've got peace Although you walk in the severance of your heart You'll repent from it and see are you beginning to see the fear of God? When you fear God angels encamp around those appearing see what you know, what really the fear of God means The fear of God means that you simply understand the reality of the love and judgment of God And you know if you get a picture of God ready to just zap you out when you stumble and fall You got the wrong image Because I'm gonna tell you what you will make mistakes But you know when you fall down as Jeremiah says eight you'll get back up again You know why because you love the Lord with all your heart. You'll keep coming the light. You'll keep coming the light You'll keep coming the light. You'll keep coming the light and right now We're working through a time of unlearnings and things and and we could really get into a good case of condemning one another and judging one another that spiritual pride and all this kind of thing and it's a time to let our light shine and Love one another and practice these things. So God walking these things so God and get these things off of us. Amen Now well Boy, I was hoping to be Malachi Malachi about a half an hour ago Now verse 15 So this is what a form of godliness does So now we call the arrogant they're blessed Not only are the doers of wickedness flesh build up But they all test also test God and escape You know, I'm just looking at that today you test God, you know, I'll tell you how you test God That you can just shake your fist in God's head God's face And you can just turn and turn back to the devil you can test him and escape means that you just fall away I Know that mess up a lot of theology, but You can turn away from God. You know what turned you away from God when you won't continue What is it you have to continue to do you continue to bet possess the land? What makes you turn back it's when the powers and I can get your heart loving something more than Jesus that's when you turn back Don't make something big and complicated about possessing the land It's just a natural to hate these things right here when Jesus has all your heart is anything you'll hate the fear of God is I hate evil When you understand the fear of God see to understand the reality of thing My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge The fear of God's beginning and also it if you know the fear of God, you know The reality of the judgment and the fire and destruction for those who are not led by the Spirit of God to possess the land, right? Are those who walk in the form of godliness don't have the knowledge of that and They don't have the fear of God So they're destroyed for that for lack of knowledge. That's how Babylon becomes a dwelling place of demons. They glorify themselves Are you hear what I'm saying? This is selfish ambition when you glorify yourself. We we glorify Jesus Amen now listen, I've said a lot of things Maybe a few of these things hadn't tied together Put them right everything. I say put it on the shelf until you see it in the word. Amen That's where we're headed. You're gonna see it Lord be to God and that good see it in the word. Amen Okay First 16 then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another Lord be to God in that something and The Lord gave attention and heard it in a book of Remembrance was written before him for those who fear the Lord who has seen His name and they'll be mine says the Lord a host on the day that I prepare my own Possession as his special treasure and I'll spare them I'm gonna put a hedge around them as a man spares his own son who serves him Now let's go there to Malachi 4 I don't know. I like 18 there first. So you'll again you're going to distinguish Between the righteous and You're going to distinguish between the wicked You're going to distinguish between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him and there's a lot of they're not Been a whole lot of that distinguishing going on because you know why? We haven't been doing what the Bible said you're going to know them by their what? Right, you know a person's heart, but what comes out his mouth? Amen Well, yeah, well, yeah, listen Who's gonna be dealing with fruit when you have to do this this this and this and you go on to heaven Who's gonna worry about fruit? Who's gonna worry about flesh? Who's gonna worry about demons? Who's gonna worry about who the harlot is who's gonna worry about doctor and the demon who's gonna worry about holiness? Who's gonna worry about ratcheting? Who's gonna worry about discernment? Who's gonna look on and on it? Throw it away though that cast the word behind you because you got this this this this this now you see what I'm saying Now Chapter 4 verse 1 behold the day is coming now I want you to remember this is going to be burning like a furnace and all all all the arrogant and all all and every every every evil doer Every evildoer circle every evildoer You're going to learn something about the fear of God will be shaft and The day that's the day of the Lord That is coming It's gonna set them ablaze. Can I tell you that's happening right now? Says the Lord a host so it is going to leave them neither root They're gonna fall the evildoers don't gonna have any root in Jesus nor branch and that's exactly what Matthew 7 and John 15 tells you that there the branch is thrown into the fire when it wither they won't receive the word to be perfected in love and And they're burned up It's owed in the fire. They have no when you have no protection God the powers of darkness come and they're tree cutters They cut the tree down. They are the tree cutters.

He's not gonna cooperate with him He'll cooperate with you when all you're when all your it's to give yourself and lay down your life You have to lay down your life You lay down all selfishness and self-love. It's a bunch of junk it gets you killed The way this world look you look at him Do you ever know what drives a man to want that last quarter when he's got more than he could spend in 14 lifetimes? It's just a compulsion it's a stronghold that he can just see people walk around him hurting all around me And have nothing in his heart They don't want to go around He's gonna only be the ones around that can fulfill pride and greed and all the other selfish He's a character in nature of Satan. It's a new day folk Now We're going to distinguish between the one who served God And the one it does not serve God glory be to God. Amen right now and the day is coming every able doer is going to be shaft and Then we see in verse 2 but you Who fear the name the son of right now? You're the one that's going to go through the fire Listen how many know the powers of not just sap you and steal your strength from you just waking on me You're just right and one foot out. Are you hear me? Hear me?

Amen Now see you're coming through the fire and you have this strength Because you're dealing with the strongholds and roots Because you love the Lord morning see you don't have to be complicated to figure all this out the Spirit of God shows you these Things he make us look smart or something Don't try to you know, what if I you don't have to be a Far Eastern expert to figure out the last days the Spirit of God Did you show it to you?

They put me in a surprise. My heart even started back They put me on coronary care and my heart stopped two different times I went home a dying man the lost man and boy and I stalled out for the mercy of God I've been keeping a stiff upper lip and hanging in there for three and I've been blocked from Jesus because I looked at Religion, I watched another little boy Watch him trying to take a preacher down in the basement and try to fight him and things like that I knew these folks couldn't help herself I knew they couldn't help me and and so these things had blocked me from ever getting to the real Jesus And buddy, I called out and I'm going to tell you what I they wasn't one thing that I I mean you talk about a zero You talk about enough and I don't have nothing to boast in except the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ And he came in there and he I'm going to tell you what his pet and I got up the next morning My mind one is much on dimes. I wanted everybody in the world to have what happened to me That's when you know, you got it from God. Amen I couldn't I couldn't even I couldn't even care on a conversation for over two years couldn't count yet I mean it'd been it'd been kind of pitiful just to see me the brain cell from drugs From alcohol see when you don't come to Jesus and you're demonized Which I couldn't get through the ninth grade in school because I so demonized at first I saw I was a little quicker than some of the other but time I got the ninth grade in school I couldn't even I couldn't even concentrate. I Would try and so I didn't understand that you ought to seen the environment, you know I'm living next door to a jail I was cursing people when I was five years old getting locked up in the bullpen picking up cigarette butts when I was five years old And smoking me on seen the town seen the place I I Went back there that jail Sometime back and I just bid you there and I stood his bitch tore down there and I thought back about all of you I had one of the most broken life nut houses and everything else What do you what you do?

I want devil. I said, mr. Devil. I just want to testify to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ here right now. Amen Now the reason I wanted to share this with you You can take a testimony and take the Word of God and preach yourself You know that it's easy to do the devil shows you how the only reason I did this because I want to show you because see the man that sits up stands up here usually the big Jesus and all this kind of stuff. I want to just encourage you if God can use me he can use anybody And this is why he wants to do it But the way he wants all the heart for the Walter right there's another all this life He's a pool hustler and that's all he ever did all he ever knew And I never seen him by any more love of Jesus Have you brother Bob and his whole mind and heart just stays on how you can help and love be his old He doesn't care about anything else Nothing he has he cares about the only thing he cares about it helping people whosoever will And sees the blasty They just no way to tell it They'll talk about it. See it doesn't matter where you come from That's what I'll tell you.

Well, I want to tell you it's going to become evident I'll see where you get burned up in the fire brother I'll tell you where you're seven and or not for the day. That's the day of the Lord The day of the Lord's not going to come until apostasy comes first you're sitting in apostasy. It's a day of apostasy now The following away has fallen away from the faith where people start calling church something it's not church. It's gone something Christians It's not Christians and they follow another Jesus beside this one in this Bible For this day of the Lord is going to show it because it's going to be revealed with fire and a fire itself It's gonna test the quality of each man's work Verse 11 For no man can lay a foundation Other than the one which is laid which is Christ Jesus you better not get in the form of godliness now I'll tell you something folks about these last days The prophets of old Now listen when when Jesus Paul They spoke it told about the coming of the Lord the prophets of old talk about didn't it? Is that right shake your head in that right? Jesus and the Paul the disciples use these scripture to show about the coming of the Lord now I'm gonna tell you he's coming again Can I tell you the second verse to this that the prophets of old is all the ball so told us about it This coming he's coming now But Colonel traditions has blocked us from being able to see it I'm gonna tell you something anyone. It does not bathe the Lord. Jesus Christ will not go through the fire and you're going to be destroyed He come here to save the world. He come here to put your sins under a cross That's pious then you walk in it and you overcome if you fall down get back up again. You'll come to life. Amen And if you don't follow him You don't follow the word. You're going to be destroyed Now boy I showed you how people who love pride and greed Take these carl traditions right here and they want to pick and choose out of the Bible They want to pull the things out. It's going to make them look good So they can build selfish ambition build a name build a reputation which fulfills pride greed and In this deceived heart, they think you're helping each other out and you never hear about the perk Of dying and overcoming In flesh, you'll never get into holiness and righteousness. You talk about it You know what he's talking about the cover being holy remember and this little thing right there. It hangs down being holy That's are you hear what I'm saying? Hmm I Saw that dear while back and I like All right now The prophets of old spoke about these last days, I'm going to show I don't have time for a lot But I'm gonna show you a little of it Acts 3 verse Let's look at verse 19 Repent therefore and Return turn to the Lord that your sins may be wiped away In order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord I'm gonna tell you if you don't if you don't repent of these you're not gonna have a repression from the Lord Until you repent he's not gonna send Jesus To you First 20 and he's based in Jesus The Christ appointed for you whom heaven must receive until the what Period of restoration folks. I'm gonna tell you something They're gonna be a hell and destruction like you've never seen before but I'm gonna tell you one The Lord's raising up a glorious remnant of people. That's a wise who have wise hearts It's gonna love the Lord with all their heart and a glory and grace and Presence and love and everything that God is gonna be poured out on it like it's never been poured out on any human beings on this earth But still in all they're gonna be a destruction looks never and a suffering and not even the days that he's gonna be like the days of Noah, but he's never been a hell that's coming on his earth and Can I tell you something you're further along and you'd ever dream? It would be sure terror as Isaiah 28 said if you understood this now By the way, this is good news Don't you never think it's not good news because you're never gonna hope you'll never know overcoming and you'll never know where peace is until You understand what the judgment of God and the fear of God is forget it. You'll not know Now Alright now verse 22 and this is Moses speaking and Moses said Quoting Moses the Lord God shall raise up for you a prophet. Can I know who that prophet is? It's the Lord Jesus Christ and he's gonna be like me From your and he's gonna raise him up from your brethren To him you shall give what? You're going to give heed in everything. He says to you and it shall be the ever soul That does not heed that prophet The Word of God and the Spirit of God is going to be what I Can't hear you Is that in your Bible? How many know it you can sit in the church building and not give heed to Jesus? How many know that you can follow Some smart folks and do this this this this and build your own tower in the heaven and miss God and be destroyed in it That's the harlot whore of the last days To build her own tower in the heaven while she's making a name for herself The people of the world are building the name for themselves They spend a whole lifetime to build an image and name this half Then they come in the church life and then is still building the image and name herself That's babbling the whore of the last days pride reputation image Self-winning Selfish ambition They cast out demons they can never be free when you're walking this right here folks You'll never be free You cast them out get around the corner of their back cast them out and you get around the corner of their back Cast out 15 to get around corner The only thing you have to hope for a way to the next man comes to town Maybe he's got the power to get me free or healed How many heard me hold up your hand In a man it comes to town get your heart instead of Jesus. Hey, man So if you don't give heed to Jesus you're going to be utterly destroyed from among the people Is that what we've been talking about? and likewise all Folks we made a rule now all of it you we made a rule anytime we say anything in the Bible We don't act like it's not there Amen All right now now get your big pencil ready and likewise all the prophets Who have spoken? from Samuel and his Successor onward have announced these days that we're living in right now. Glory be to God forevermore. It's all over your Bible But you can't see it When you got tunnel vision, you can't see it when you're trying to look through the eyes of a carnal doctrine You're buying as a bat you can't see it And I'll tell you what It changes your whole Bible front and back you don't step you don't have to skip scripture in a new Testament You don't have to tap things around nothing. Hey, man It all becomes good news When you got this right here, you have to you have to tap days You have to act like scriptures not in there that's in there see and then when you don't understand you got somebody to go find somebody new knows Greek or hermeneutics for you get go Go up here and find a man who's got the word chain the pulpit so you can go find out what God's saying, you know dummy See So you can't find so the word can never change your heart It's not going to change your life because you can't never discover nothing. He already knows Because he's been trained to be Lord's over God's heritage King big King little King little key, but it's big King And then the powers of darkness while they fulfill his selfish ambition of pride and greed they entailment and he'll he he preaches from guilt to poor guilt and Intimidation and fear and the powers of darkness follow all this up and they fill the people will guilt fear Intimidation to keep them in bondage to keep them bondage scared and confusion everything and they never can see the light Now if you see that hold up your hand I just want to be sure because I can talk a little bit more. All right, that's enough of you. We'll go on But the successors spoke of these last day now I want to show you just Listen probably their list is look over there in Acts 13 Now this Paul is quoting something out of a bucket and I don't have time to go to back up But you might jump over there, but I'll tell you what he's talking about right here in a bucket Verse 40 Paul is telling this congregation right here. He said you better take heed Therefore that the thing spoken of in the prophets can I tell you what that thing is that's them the powers of darkness The things spoken of in the prophets it's all over the prophets may not come upon you doesn't sound like good news does it Behold you scoffers, I believe brother Bobby was teaching Sunday about Jude In The last days would be the mokers and scoffers who folly their only ungodly lusts They are worldly minded their their minds on things of the world. They're devoid of the spirit. They don't know God They just pick up a Bible. They use God's people and God's Word to fulfill selfish ambition Coming down hard and fast right now folks Behold you scoffers marvel and perish it's coming upon you scoffers who follow you ungodly lusts worldly minded But I'm accomplishing a work in your days a work. You will never believe though. Someone should describe it to you Let me ask you something folks How many people do you think that what we've already shared and looked out here and we've got a whole bunch of the word look At do you think he could go and describe this to? They'd run through the side of that wall or jump out one of those stained windows over there That's copper say worldly mind they can't receive this that we're here right here The first place it wouldn't even come here if they use gonna be here over 20 minutes Now right They've been programmed pride and greed is program listen pride and greed has proven them to hate the Word of God and Pride and greed gets a lot of rep But recognition everything and he don't keep them too long dear God don't torment flesh too long with the Word of God As a matter of fact don't use too much of it use two scriptures and tell them some nice stories so you can get to Be their idol It's coming down I Hope you're not in it You The hell turn loose right now folks There's never been a shaken infusion hating and everything that's ever been going on like you're going on in a church today They're shaking going on and and and pastors Pastor won't help their families won't help and they don't know what to do about it if they get out of that ungodly doctrine right there and Seek God and get their family out of that thing. They can get some help, but they're gonna go through some fire first You will go through the fire Because you'll go through that valley and you'll find that's where God has taken to find out. He's got it all in the control again with Amen Right now so that this now while we're there Paul's preaching the sermon I just want to tell you how the powers of darkness use. So what's that first word up there? Yeah, if you're gonna fulfill pride right there, you have to have Nichols knows his numbers and approval of man. Is that right? I Can't hear you Amen, so what happens right there you see? See folks don't pay too much attention to what I'm saying right now, you know You know and tip when you Nichols numbers and and and people start getting you start getting their Nichols knows his number then dear Lord They think you do a favor to kill you You see what I'm saying? Now I want you to watch now Paul and Paul and Barnes they begin sharing with them this about these last days and how the powers Of darkness will come on and then they turn verse 42 and they begging them boy. Don't you leave town? We want you to keep on doing this the next Sabbath and tell us about these thing Then verse 43 meet and broke up like it does here and in verse 44 The next Sabbath near the whole city assembled to hear the Word of God. Oh now that's what causes the problems when the crowds go When the crowds come that causes the problem so Then when the Jews saw that's a religious crowd chief priest Chief preachers kings Lords over God's heritage Then when they saw the what? They saw the numbers Then they were filled with what I Can't hear you Who do you face control in their life? What were they jealous about because they fulfilled pride? I mean after all nerd to save heart. They had this thing right here to take these people into heaven right there I mean after all Israel their responsibility and when you lose all your numbers, you can lose your kingship. Is that right? I can't hear you So the kingship was coming down the whole she said it comes out you can lose your kingship So the devil just and the powers dark just put these thoughts right in but they show them people that love pride and greed They put it in their minds the Kings how they exploit and use God's heritage numbers and pick and choose through the Word of God to fulfill their separate ambition The same way they teach the people out there in the world to do So we were filled with jealousy and then they've been began Contradicting the Word of God that Paul was speaking right there and they were blaspheming You know what jealousy does jealousy and pride attacks the truth They Don't like this part of the Bible right here find any places churches you can go into and preach this part of the Bible This is what tears down flesh kingdoms When you got a flesh king and you never get to the king Then and Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said it was necessary that the Word of God be spoken to you but now since you repudiate and since you contradict the Word of God and you judge yourself unworthy of what You're unworthy of eternal life folks are doing it all over. I mean people who've got their hearts tied To a form of guidance their cunt. They're giving you a whole lot of truth in the Bible But they won't come down to holiness. They won't come down to righteousness. They won't come down to die in the flesh They won't come down to to being perfected in love They won't come down to loving the Lord with all your heart and your neighbors yourself Can I tell you something? That's a gospel You can't be perfected in love Pharisees had that same problem. So then what do you think that how the powers of darkness use flesh? The powers of darkness use the flesh who they see they program men to look up to men See look up to men bow to men and then you know Listen to me How many people? Do you think that would hear any new thing in the Word of God and? They look to that important man before they move They won't move until he moves Amen because he'd been programmed to be led by men and said the Spirit of God So then that's where pride and greed leads you so then pride and greed What do you have to do? They use important folks to come against the Word of God and that's exactly what you're going to see here now. Look right here and And we see verse 49 the Word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region wasn't that good but the religious crowd verse 50 they aroused they got some devout women of prominence Let me read that one more time devout women of prominence That's devout women of promise that are full of hell and selfish ambition important, you know That's not all The religious crowd got the leading man. I know what something like that's about myself they got their leading folks of the city and instigated the persecution against Paul and Barnabas and since people are programmed to follow flesh and follow men then the leading men and those devout women Led a persecution against Paul and drove him from out of the district The Satan's method flesh methods and religion methods hadn't changed a bit. It's still going on the same way today That's the way it is today so Paul You know what Paul then went out and found him a place and they just laid down and just about died there for about three Weeks, let's see right here First to 51 and shook off the dust and the disciples they were just hey They shook off the dust getting their feet back there. They got outside days outside of time These disciples they were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit Why because they didn't come in there to please God they come in please me and they come in there to please God. Amen Now let me tell you something If these things are in your life You'll take the Bible and you'll change it. You'll add a little water to it You're back off you're skipping everything because you want to please me and more you please God But when you go in you want to please God God and you get kicked out of running off, buddy I'm telling you God pours it on you Now that's where it is the only reason you ever compromise the Word of God because this stuff's in your life right there People who love the Lord who love have this in their life compromise the Word of God Are you here what I'm saying? You're gonna know the mother what one more time you're gonna know the mother what All right now Well, we got in intend to get in but I'm glad we did there now, let's just back. Let's go back. Let's go back to To Jeremiah which come after I said Samuel and the prophets spoke of these days go back to Jeremiah to Eight-week go all over the Bible, but let's go to Jeremiah to The whole Bible is a revelation Lord Jesus Christ, isn't it? All right Look up here just a minute Somebody brought me some scissors If you find something you don't like you come up here and get them and cut it out right there You're my to Verse 13 for my people have committed two evils They have forsaken me the fountain of living waters. May I ask you who is the fountain of living waters? All right. I'm telling they have forsaken me the fountain of living water. They hew for themselves sisters They're gonna water their own self.

Now Look at verse 21 Here this old foolish is a foolish version that I tell you about these foolish virgins who won't come to the light and senseless people You have eyes, but you see not you have ears, but you hear not. Do you not fear me declares the Lord? Do you not tremble in my presence? Look at verse 23, but this people has a stubborn They have a rebellious heart. They've turned aside and departed now.

Well, I better not get too far in that before we get to it Okay This people has a stubborn rebellious heart. They've turned aside and departed They do not say in their heart. Let us now fear the Lord our God who brings a revival people going to talk about revival They go back to the 18th century go back 20 years at 40 years ago and 50 years ago and how they did it How about the book of Acts? When you get like the congregation was the book of Acts where you one heart one mind and Jesus is standing in the middle of It you'll see revival Amen And you're not gonna be like them because they loved their neighbors or said because they were not tied to no possessions They wouldn't drop anybody had need They have to matter no one among them was any kind of need because any of them had property or anything like that They said it because they loved their neighbors herself. That was a book and that's a church and that's a pattern Don't let something spring up here and call it it If they don't love the Lord all their heart and the neighbors their self. That's not it Amen glory All right now Verse 25 your iniquities your sins have been turned away this rain and it's season the autumn rain the spring rain and Your sins that we've held good from you First 29 Shall not punish these people declares the Lord on the nation such as this shall not I not avenge myself I'm gonna lower the hedge on them at that appalling and a horrible thing has happened Now this is what God calls an appalling and a horrible thing has happened Let's see what it's happened in the land. Her prophets are preaching falsely. They won't preach the whole counsel of God's Word They won't preach righteousness and holiness. They won't please being conformed to the image of Jesus and A divine nature they preach and the preach preach the priest Preachers they're ruling on their own authority not God's authority They're kings and lords over God's heritage and my people just love it. So They love to have a flesh king. You know what a flesh king I do He'll never tell you that you ever have to walk in love He'll talk about love But he'll never tell you talk about that old form of godliness that old world love not this kind of love where you have to Love your neighbors you seven have to die the flesh So the time will come in and on endure sound doctrine they're gonna want to have their ears tickle and accumulate themselves teachers and doctrines that don't conform to godliness so they can satisfy their pleasures of the flesh and then they're gonna Turn your ears my truth. You no longer need this anymore because you go to a doctrine That does not conform you to godliness and then you don't never leave this anymore That's the only way you'll ever be conformed the image of Jesus folks you better not never get bored but hearing the Word of God Did I tell you the powers of darkness were tree cutters I'm a I'm gonna get to cover that some in a New Testament quite a bit. I Tell you how far I've gotten tonight. I've gotten about 3% as far as I intended to be tonight All right, where's five arise Let us attack but not we're attacking and they're in spiritual darkness not represent spiritual. Let's destroy our policy Do you know who the king of the palace is? the king of Babylon it is Satan For this says the Lord a host the hedge is down go in there and what? Go in there tree cutters lines go ahead and cut down their trees. Amen Cut down their trees and cast up a siege against the church Jerusalem This is a city to be punished in whose myths. There's only oppression. There's no peace there see folks I told you that the prophets it's clearly explained. I just wrote a book the great falling away today We got right to the point and in this thing We I've got a whole chapter on the prophets of old spoke of these last days Scripture, you know, I just used just a couple of places there And then go scripture and scripture They close to 2,000 scriptures in this book to show the great falling away today See I can only use just a part of it here and somebody gets it you know just one tape or something like this and they you see they you can take what something out of out of a What am I trying to tell you? Take it out of context, you know, and then you know, you may somebody you know and that's Lord just open the door to to write this book and As a matter of fact, I wasn't seeking look right above sense I mean, I wish I didn't mention that but now I'm gonna tell you about it I wish I hadn't even brought it up, but I Got a letter over a year ago about a year and a half ago from a publisher To her write a book and that's you know, I kind of thought about something like that about about a book You know I told somebody about going and looking some property and you go get a Japanese up and something I laughed about it when I got That made you me right in the book see And so I'd heard a friend, you know say one time the books already been written So I just kind of liked that and I just wrote him a letter and told him the books already been written And forgot about it and later on when a fellow, you know, that's right in the Bible says that I knew some things You know, I'd get some help but but they could just write things I didn't have a lot to pull from and the composition everything going through the ninth grade and so they'd write these Bible studies and so But he left and I had to write him when I started writing. I found out I had more to write than a Bible study So I called his fellow and I thought I'd just get a better deal cost Over $10,000 just in the Bible studies out on the mailing list people and they see by incidentally that's reading We got your register not to we won't be writing you for money It's the kind of senior material and things of this nature and so I Thought well, they might be I don't see I didn't even understand it But I thought and so I had this fellow at work with me to send him and to call him and ask him is well You sent it over here. So he sent a few things that I just written and I just kind of liked about it Just hand it to him He said he said you might you have over a hundred pages here and we'll put it in 10,000 bookstores and all over the world and I said well dog is boy I'll tell you what, they never did do nothing like this back in Benton. I'm telling you So I started on that thing and the biggest war I all but died the last seven months But Paul when when I when I was sharing with y'all out there at full gospel we had they had a Retreat out here in February. I mean I was walking death about then I'm not kidding you I really was but I'll just all but it got killed in that Yes, you know just the warfare and everything going through that thing Dealing with things like what we're sharing here tonight, but see no one can't they say well he teaches legalism. I sir What page is that? He Keeps people on the law and he doesn't understand grace, sir Would you would you point to me what page that is, please see this rumor just talk Pharisees. You understand what I mean? Okay, then they have this credit to work You have to jump in or jump out. Well, he said go cut down their trees. We're seven as The well keeps its waters fresh. So she keeps fresh her wickedness Violence and destruction are in her sickness and wounds are ever before me Does that sound like God gets real excited when you have some diseases? Huh? Verse 10 to whom shall I speak and give warning that they may hear That's what God's wanting to do speak and give warning behold. The ears are closed They cannot listen behold the Word of the Lord has become a reproach to him. Look at me They have no delight in the offended finished is we just like tunnel vision. We just like the part that fits in our Little sweet structure Defended have no delight in it bored Ten minutes we listen to it Have no delight in the Word of God first, let me sit I'm full of the wrath of Lord I'm weary hold it pour it out on the children in the street and on the gathering of the young men together For both the husband and a wife is going to be taken the age in a very old and their houses look here Here's your houses right here. Here's your houses right? Yeah, their houses. It's going to be turned over to others their fields We supposed to be God's field and their wives. Yeah, it doesn't mean you're gonna lose your garden But I'm gonna stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land For from the least of them even to the greatest of them. That's the way it is today Everyone is greedy for gain their heart goes look here Make enough things of God to fulfill selfish ambition And from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely they speak peace to the neighbor while they set an ambush for him self-centeredness They've healed the brokenness of my people superficially and they're saying peace peace That's a peace and safety till they've got peace and safety while they walk in a stubbornness of heart But there is no peace where they shame because abomination They've done all these sins and all this hell right here of this shame. Are they not even ashamed at all? They don't even know how to blush listen folks Look here when you're tied to something that does not conform you to godliness You'll never come to the mirror here to find out what you're doing So you can't be ashamed You can't be ashamed that you walk in the nature and character of Satan You can't be ashamed because you've got tunnel vision. You don't look at the part of the Bible You're like a natural man that come and look at the mirror and he turns away and forgets what kind of man he is The word has no effect on your religious You Therefore they shall fall they're gonna fall that's destroyed among those who fall at the time of their punishment I'm gonna cast them not up but down says the Lord for thus says the Lord stand by the way and ask for the ancient path ask for the good way as that's a word of God and walk in it don't analyze it and Then you're gonna find rest and then you're gonna find peace for your souls. Listen folks You have to walk in it not analyze it. You understand what I mean? People who are led by pride and greed they lead you to analyze the Word of God not walk in it And Then that's the way you're gonna find rest and peace.

They've been being turned loose And a great nation bigger and here's where they're going to come from the remote parts of the earth That's where they come from the power of the darkness They seize bow and spear. They are cruel. They have no mercy the voice roars like a sea Hey, listen, I want to ask you how many know about in the last days in Luke 21 It's talking about the roaring of the seas Folks, I'm gonna tell you something You know many times and I get in meetings and I just barely get through a foundation there and I just because you can't keep people three weeks In a word or something like that, you know, like in the days of Paul We hadn't got there yet, and I'm just getting started last like last night I just getting started when we went home John said what I mean We were we would have come to a place right there We could stayed up all night right now and you could outrun anybody in town If you say they're receiving that work, you wouldn't even been sleepy I'm gonna tell you folks I wait if we quit receiving these lies and junk in their mind if we receive a lie up here we get it There's some tapes back there Talks about Bowman and Churchill last days and these things is a lot of these things And and and if if if there's anything that you like that we're carrying on right here I wish you'd really just really consider them right there And if anybody has any problem with you financing something so forth We want to talk to you about it what we're trying to sell those papers average about three dollars a piece We're not in a commercial business and brother Bob knows I'm not nice reason I'm here We're in a building to build up There's pretty expensive things that take but we're not into building buildings and they we build up the body of Christ You don't you don't know make a reputation this kind of message anyway But some people can afford to pay more Than others to kind of help us to help the ones that can't pay in sketches So if you have a problem with it, you ask but what we want to spread the word and there's a lot to it Won't even get able get into It's just like in a pastor's heart. I want you get I want you to get the word Toward the spread I like it put the tape in somebody else's hand. This is not a commercial I mean, I'm just dead serious about Just spread the word Fine now, let's continue verse 24. This is what's going on today. The prophets of old spoke of these last days We've heard the report of it. Our hands are limp Anguishes Caesar's pain as of a woman in childbirth. You know what this called folks I wish you'd y'all had problem get it. Look at this is birth pain There's a birth pains of a church has given birth and died in the flesh You don't say what I mean, but this is a birth pain of judgment This is one itself and I talk about the consecrated guests that the Lord invites to to suffer. It's over in Matthew 19 It's the supper that the Lord hands over the devil he hands over all people It's not going to come to him and he removes the hedge and here they come Isaiah 13 talks about that. You're going to look at one another in astonishment This is a foolish virgin when all this hell come they're going to look at one another in the Sun They're surprising it too late. They can't get in the ark Not on earth has ever been a time like it I Think we ain't got time to get all in that tonight But a pain is a woman in childbirth, how many know that demons how a demon of pain How many know that hold up your hand is it didn't paint, okay Do not go out in the field do not walk on the road for the enemy as a sword a tear Oh daughter of my people on put on sackcloth and rolling ashes Mourn is for an only son and lamentation most bitter for suddenly and what? Destroyer is going to come upon us now. I want to remind you something folks You can't know about peace and you can't know about overcoming if you don't know about these things You understand what if you don't know about the judgment of God How are you going to know what walking in righteousness is tell me? How many know they're just going to be a remnant? How many know the word it was a way as wide at least the destruction and fewer those are going to find them Let me know it's a narrow way You have to love the Lord with all your heart Pride and greed widen that door out the devil's tires and everything else gets in it Suddenly the destroyer is going to come upon us. I've made you an assayer He's talking about the powers of darkness. He said I've made you a nice air and a what? It's a tester among my people if they don't know that love the Lord with all their heart They'll never get rid of these things the nature of Satan
