Milton Green

Milton Green (1943 - 1987). American evangelist and Bible teacher born in Tennessee. Raised in a troubled home with an abusive father, he spiraled into alcoholism, drug addiction, and homelessness, suffering a major heart attack at 43 that left doctors predicting his death. Converted in 1972 after crying out to Jesus, he was miraculously healed and began studying Scripture intensely. A carpet cleaner by trade, Green preached across the U.S. from the late 1970s to 1987, often alongside James Robison and Leonard Ravenhill, focusing on repentance, holiness, and spiritual warfare. He authored The Great Falling Away Today (1986), warning against carnal Christianity, and recorded hundreds of sermons, widely shared online. Married to Joyce, a Christian who prayed for his salvation, they had no children. His teachings, emphasizing victory over sin through Christ, stirred thousands at seminars, though some criticized his focus on demonic influence. Green’s words, “God’s Word is the only standard for truth,” underscored his uncompromising style. His ministry, marked by humility, continues to influence evangelical circles globally

Sermon Transcription
He's the one that's going to perfect it in you. He's going to lead you in all truth. He just wants you to love Him with all your heart and stay in His Word. Don't let your heart go to anything else. He wants you to be willing to suffer. Give up all that selfishness. That's what suffering is. That's what's denying yourself to give up selfishness. It's so glorious for everything that God has created us for. It's for love. But see, if we can't love one another here, we're not going to love Him. He said, how can you say you love God when you don't even love your brother? Huh? See now, folks, the problem is that we've been trying to perfect this love out of the flesh, and it just won't happen that way. And that's the reason it's never worked. That's exactly what they did in Galatians 1 and 3. Oh, you foolish Galatians. You foolish Galatians. Having begun with the Spirit of God, now you're turning back to a doctrine that's distorted and contrary, that's watered down and changed, that will not conform you to God. They say, now you're going to be perfected in the flesh. You're in the works of the law. The hedge is down on you, and you are cursed, and you're being destroyed. And that's why the whole fifth chapter of Galatians is talking about that you walk in the Spirit and you no longer care about the desires of the flesh. And the sixth chapter says that God is not mocked. He already has his law set up. Whatsoever a man sows, he's going to reap. Now look at me. If you sow to the flesh, how do you sow to the flesh? Out of your mouth come boasting and arrogance and hate and unforgiveness and selfishness. If you sow to the flesh, that's what your heart loves, and it's going to come out of your mouth, that fruit, you're going to reap corruption. But if you sow to the Spirit, love and joy and peace and heavenly neighbor, you're going to reap eternal life. The laws are set up, and what you're going to see this week is how you're destroyed when you walk in the law. And you cannot love your neighbor unless you first love the Lord with all your heart. It's impossible. You'll not have this love. That's how Jesus came to fulfill the law. Amen? Hey folks, I want to share something else with you. Don't you make nothing complicated about this Bible anymore. Let me ask you, was this Bible written to be understood? Let me tell you something, folks. I didn't get through the ninth grade. I'm not a self-made man. I'm a man that God just saw there, that on his knees was slobbering off his chin, that cried out for mercy and grace. And God just chose me for a vessel of grace, and I'm not... I don't have any false humility about it. When I sit back down there before I come up here, I know I'm standing up here in mercy and grace. Hey, you know what I'm saying? I want to tell you something. Don't you sit back there. Don't you ever make anything complicated about this Word of God, because Jesus said, I'll lead you into all truth. When you decide that you're really going to love the Lord with all your heart, you get your Bible out, and it'll jump all over you. You just decide that the power of the dark is going to come against you. That's what the parable of the Word warns you. They're going to try to come and take the Word out of your heart. How they come to take the Word out of your heart? They come with persecution and affliction. That's the fiery trials. That's the sun. That's the scorched places. They come to put the pressure and the trials on you, to push you off. And you've got a little bit of representation right there. You won't stand there. It's in those trials that you do either one thing. You either die in them. That's where the Lord puts you to death. You die to them, or else you hit back. Anger, unforgiveness, revenge, grudge, unforgiveness, criticism. And then you just get more chains thrown down you. And I'm going to show you how that works this week. Because you refuse the nature of God and love the nature of Satan. Amen? Now, I'll tell you what I want you to do. I want you to turn with me to Jude, please. Turn to Jude. Jude. Oh, praise the Lord. Praise your blessed and holy name, Lord. Hallelujah. Now, let me ask you something. If my heart. Now, look at me right here. I don't want you to miss this. If my heart loves the flesh. I don't love the Lord with all my heart. My heart loves the flesh. You know where my mind is going to be set on? Things of the world. Are you hearing me? But if my heart. If I love the Lord with all my heart, then I'm going to hate my life in this world. This is something you learn to do. Just don't decide I'm going to do it. I mean, it's going to happen to you daily and daily and daily. I look around at things and every day. I thought, dear Lord, what is it I enjoy? What do I like in this world? And it just gets stranger and dimmer and dimmer. What do I like? There's nothing in it. You know, the only thing I like in it. Is watching people like you. Come to Jesus with a whole heart. Now, that's what I like about in this world. Amen? So, that's how you hate your life in this world. See, you understand. Look, listen to me. God's made some beautiful trees out here and some forests and lakes and everything. But this world system is phony baloney. They all play a game. You have some kind of act to play. It's a big game. Do you ever get in one of these little social, fancy little napkin parties? Everybody's got some kind of... You go around impressing each other, you know. Praise God. Okay. Somebody knew what I was talking about. Verse 18. That they were saying... I mean, in the last time there shall be... What? There are going to be mockers in the last days. Do you believe you're in the last days? Verse 18. Now, you know what a mocker is? Listen. Flesh will always come against the spiritual. Why? Flesh is Satan. Spiritual is God. They are in opposition to one another. Don't go trying to join your righteousness and lawlessness. And this word... You know, I was up in North Little Rock. One of the first places I ever went to. And I ended up sharing the word. And this was hard on me. I watched some folks left that church that I was in. And that was hard on that little old pastor. Because, I mean, some things I knew now I didn't know then. He come back to me that day and he said, He said, There is, in that group, a man who has just been pure hell towards me and everything the Lord has done here. He said, I couldn't have run him off with a stick of dynamite. And he's gone. And here, last time I saw him, he said, Every one of those people, I can now tell you, I'm glad that I'm the last one left. The word runs them all. But if you're building reputation and ambition, you want to hold on to them. Or you don't want to see them. Because your motives are wrong. And that's how old David got some people killed back then, didn't he? He started numbering and everything. His motives got wrong. Right? Okay. Oh, praise God. Folks, this is so simple. Do you understand what that Bible is changing for us? Now, look here. In the last time there could be mockers. Now, this is scoffers and mockers are people who follow after their own ungodly lust of flesh. Now, look at me, folks. They will mock about it. I'm telling you, religious people are meaner than the devil himself. Let me say it again. The meanest folks that's ever lived on this earth is religious folks. Now, you forget about your pool halls and your drug deals and Hitler and Mussolini and that bunch. They are amateurs to destroying and killing people. That is, somebody to take ahold of the Bible and build a big old broad road to hell and just run them into it for selfish ambition. Oh, you hear what I'm saying? I'm dead serious, folks. And I'm going to tell you something. You're silly to ever be fearful of religious folks again. God is saying something. And the ones that aren't religious will come to the light. And they are coming down. And when you've got God, nothing's going to prevail against you. You may look like you're down here one day, but you'll pop up four times stronger right over somewhere else. I know because that's what's happened to me. I've been down and out about three times, and I've popped right back up somewhere else. Amen? But God had to do it. Amen? Now, so mockers and scoffers fall after only God they lust. Now, verse 19, these are the religious crowd who cause divisions. They're worldly-minded, and they're devoid of the Spirit of God. I'm telling you, they don't know God. Is that plain? And their minds set on things of the world. It's not set on things, spiritual things above. They're doing the work of God with worldly methods and worldly ways. Look at verse 10. These men are vile. They come against or speak against the things which they don't understand. And the things which they know by instinct, that's intellect or flesh, like unreasonable animals, but these things are destroyed. You know what world means? They're cursed. For they've gone the way of Cain. That's the works of the flesh. And for play, that's thinking godliness is game, rewards, greed, name, reputation. They have rushed headlong into the air of Balaam. That's preaching for money or rewards. They perished in the rebellion of Korah. In other words, having the fire of God, they got to doing it after the strength of the flesh. It's the wrong fire. It's the fire of the devil. When you do something like the flesh, you're doing the work of God with the methods of Satan. Everything of flesh is Satanist. Are you hearing me? Now, when you can distinguish when to get different. See, folks, you cannot take God's captive as long as you're speaking blessings and curses. Until you decide to walk in love, you don't even know what's going on in your mind. You're a puppet. Front row, back row, or platform. Now, this is what we're coming out of. So, now, when you get home, don't you let the enemy condemn you. Because overnight, you don't have all this work done. You hear me? Now, you listen to me. The enemy wants to condemn you, so you'll go where you fell. And so the Lord says, I'll never forsake you, I'll never leave you. But he will let you suffer to give up these things. And so you'll know that there's no one who can make you stand except God. That's the only way you're going to stand. This is something you're going to have to learn. As long as you're trying to stand on your own, he's just going to let you falter until you fall, until you find out it's him. There was you. Amen? Okay, now. So, we'll just continue right here. Now, these worldly minded, they've gone the way of Cain. Now, verse 12, these are men who are hidden reefs in your love feast. When they feast with you without fear, they are caring for who? They don't have the fear of God, they care for themselves, flesh, self-lovers. They're clouds without water, they're carried along by winds. They're autumn trees without what? They don't have the fruit of God, they're double dead, spirit and natural in God's eyes. They follow their own lust, that's exactly what we saw, the flesh. They speak arrogantly. Now, what does pride and greed do? Here it is right here. They flatter people for the sake of gaining an advantage. Tell ungodly, unrighteous, stiff-necked, stubborn people how righteous they are in their ungodliness and unholiness. Giving them a false security. Flatter them. The blind lead the blind to the pit. Now, look over in verse 4. For certain persons. See, flesh always seeks advantage. You know that, don't you? When you love the flesh, you're seeking advantage of people. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed. Those who were long beforehand marked out of this condemnation. They're ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into a license to sin. Life's sinciousness. And when you're doing this, you're denying the word and you're denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Now, I was going to read this next verse, but I'm going to explain it later on. Now, I desire to remind you, though you know all things, that once and all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, is subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. Can I tell you what? When you turn in from the Lord, you're turning from loving your neighbor. You're turning from loving the Lord. I'm going to show you how the hedge comes down on you this week. And how. You don't have any protection from God in how you're destroyed. Now, you are in a New Testament, and that God in your Bible, if you read 1 Corinthians 10, is an example to us today. We walk in idolatry and immorality. Remember 1 Corinthians 10? Take heed, because he who thinks he stands lest he fall. You can't take the table of demons and the table of the Lord. You can't come and take the table of the Lord while your heart's in agreement with the nature of Satan. That's a take and a table. For this many, many among you, weak, sick, and a number of you, sleep, you're cursed. When you come and take the Lord's Supper, you're renewing death to yourself. You're renewing covenant. And that's where the blessings are. Amen? Now see, how is this going to sound to somebody that loves reputation in the flesh? They're going to hate you. So whose approval do you want? So what's new on the Son? People who have the nature of Satan always hate the things of God. So this is how the word divides. You understand what I mean? And so, folks, we're going to come together. Pastor, we're going to get in here and we're going to learn how to be perfected. We're going to love one another, and we're going to have God with us. And we're going to be able to reach and snatch people out of the fire. We're not going to sit around like big buzzards and get spiritual pride or something and look at people who haven't got one around. We're going to come out and let our light shine. We're going to take this line and try to stick it down somebody's throat. We're going to let it shine. They're going to see love. Now, if they're going to see something in our lives they want, instead of trying to put their hands in their pocket, they're going to see something. Say, hey, you know, why don't these things bother him? It don't seem like nothing bothers him. No, nothing is bothering me because God's got angels around me. Because I love Jesus. I love the one that created me, made me. Now, let's see what a false teacher is, if you don't already know. Turn back to 2 Peter 2. Let's see what false teaching is. 2 Peter 2. Boy, I tell you what, I want to bless these pastors again here. I tell you what, I just bless them. Now, I'm going to ask you something. If you was the devil, wouldn't you just tell somebody this shit in pure blood how to sit 30 minutes and live in the Word of God? But isn't it an interesting thing? Isn't it an interesting thing that some of the same ones, if you get out there watching a ball game where they've got a piece of pig skin and they draw chalk lines out there and you sit there in a hailstorm and in the rain forever watching them run the pig skin back and forth over chalk lines. And the devil don't bother you when those things are going on, does he? He just don't like you to hear it from heaven, does he? None of you shed blood that early. You've only got some things learned, don't you? All right, now, 2 Peter 1. 2 Peter 2, I'm sorry, verse 1. But false prophets, another word for that is preachers and teachers and prophets and apostles and evangelists, amen, also rose among a people, just as there shall also be. Here's a promise for you. There will be false teachers among you. And these false teachers are going to, that word is secretly. I want you just to mark that and circle that, secretly. They're going to secretly introduce to you destructive heresies. Now, you know what that secretly means? It means it's not going to be easily discerned. It's just Matthew 24, and they talk about in the last days if even the very elect would be deceived. Even denying the Master, we saw that in Jude, and to both him bringing swift destruction upon what? Himself. Now, anyone who's denying the word and perverting the word of God, listen to me, folks. Now, look at me. They have destruction all over them. Can I tell you what their name are? The power of the darkness. They're destroying them. Death is working in them. When there's sin, there's more sin. And God lets the ones beyond 1010 who come to kill, steal, and destroy, and they're just looking for ways. They tempt people to break the law and everything so they can move in and kill, steal, and destroy. God's wisdom, folks. Your heart is tested. Let me tell you, this world is like a test tube. If you don't learn to love, you're not going to the place of love called heaven. Amen? Okay, now. All right, now, it's secretly introduced destructive heresies. Now, these false teachers, verse 2, and many are going to follow their what? Sensuality flesh. And because of these teachers who love the flesh, the way of truth is going to be perverted. Now, let me ask you, look at that screen right up there and just imagine it's pride and greed. Do you think that they're going to pervert the way of God? You better believe it. You can mark her down in your little book. But they'd be nice fellows. They're smart. Do you think they got a red phone into heaven and they're the only ones who hear from it? And when your heart's on them, when your heart's trusting them instead of the Lord, the Lord lets you go into delusion like that. You're not trusting the Lord and you're trusting men to hear for you? Are you hearing what I'm saying? What is a teacher supposed to do? He's supposed to be an example to the flock. Amen? In other words, instead of lording it over them, you know what? I believe my part and preachers part, we get under you to lift you up, to build you up, and to make you a success in Jesus. Amen? Right? Not tear you down. Right now. And many follow their sensuality, and these false teachers are going to follow them, and then a way of truth is going to be perverted. And in their love for what? Greed! They will exploit you and flatter you with what? False words. And their judgment from long ago and their destruction is not asleep. They're being destroyed while they're doing it. But they will... Are you warned right there what false teachers will be among you? Is that right? All right, now. Look over in verse 14. Having eyes full of adultery and that never cease from sin. They practice sin, in other words. They entice unstable people who put their trust in them. They have a heart trained in greed. When you love the flesh, your heart is trained in greed. Amen? They are cursed children. Is that plain? I mean, a curse is on them, and that's how their destruction is not asleep. It's all over them. God is not mocked. Amen? Verse 15. Forsaken the right way, they've gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, and who loved the wages of unrighteousness. In other words, they suppose that godliness is a means of gain for the flesh. Now, verse 18. For speaking out arrogant words of vanity, they entice people by what? I can't hear you. They're getting people excited and enticed back to their fleshly desires instead of having them to die to fleshly desires and be perfected in love. They entice them and lead them after the flesh. That's the ways of the world. Worldly ways and fleshly ways doing the work of God. Now, how many are seeing what I'm saying? That's a false teaching. He leads you to do the work of God after the ways of Satan, really. That's what flesh is. You can never be perfected. Now, watch very closely. Verse 19. Promising people freedom. There's no curse. There's no calamity. There's no powers of darkness can come on you. Promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption. Do you see that? Now, let me show you what happened. Now, I'll show you some scripture right here that folks tap-dance around. There's a lot of places in here you just have to dance all around. Just tap-dance. Just dance all around it. Just act like it wasn't there. Oh, that's deep and dark. Oh, this is real complicated. You just can't know something like this, little folks. Well, let's just read it and see what we've got here. Let's see if you can read the Bible, the Holy Ghost. All right, here we go. Verse 20. See, if you skip scripture like this, you'd never learn the fear of God. And if you don't learn the fear of God, throw your Bible away and follow some man. Amen? Okay, now. Verse 20. If after you have escaped the defilements of this world, look at me right here. Speaking in this boasting and arrogance and self-righteousness and selfishness and selfish ambition and self-justification, making a name for yourself, overbearing and a man pleaser, haughtiness and rebellious and self-control. If you've escaped the ways of the world, if you've escaped the defilement of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then you go and you are again entangled. You find out about love and you know the love of God and you go right back to walking and talking and acting like the world. By the way, look at me where it falls. They lead you to be hardened to the Word of God. Now look at me. You've escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then you get again entangled in them and you're overcome. The last state has become worse for you. I'm going to explain that to you. Let's read the next verse. It would have been better for you never known the way of righteousness than having known it to turn away from the holy commandments of God delivered to you and turn back to the ways of faith. Why now won't you listen to me? A false teacher, now do you repent of fleshly desires? Many of you right here have come to Jesus. Now won't you just tell me, have you just come to Jesus with all your heart and you're so innocent and things like that and you're just in such relationship with Him and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden you found yourself way over here and things aren't like they used to be over there. If that's happened to you, hold up your hand. Be honest about it. Just hold up your hand all over this place. All right, now let me tell you why. Because if you get led, see you repented from fleshly desires. Is that right? That's what caused the Lord's presence in your life. And then you start listening to false teaching. It'll lead you right back into worldly ways, away from your first love. And then you turn back to these ways and then you're led and you're programmed to be hardened and hardened and resist the Word and resist the Word because pride and greed give you a false security. And you resist the Word and you resist the Word and you resist the Word and you resist the Word and resist the Word and resist the Word until your heart becomes so hardened that the Word can't transform you or perfect you in love. You're walking and talking just like the world. Just like James 3, speak of blessings and curses, you adulterous, you whore. It's a world flesh and demonic. It would have been better for you to have never known the way of righteousness than having turned from Him. Because why? Your heart becomes so hardened the Word can no longer work in you. If you'd never known the way of righteousness there would still be a chance for you to come to Jesus and you could learn the way of righteousness and be perfected for the Word. Amen? But now that you've known the way of righteousness and your heart's become so hardened, now you can't hear and the Word can have no more effect in your life. That is a sin unto death. Do you know something? I have family and friends who kind of laugh at me and I can't sit down and lead them. No word in that Bible. The Word's not enough. They can't hear it. Because their old hearts have become so hardened the Word of God won't even work there. If they'd never sit in religion and listened to religion I could lead them to Jesus and then I could show it to them. But they've already sit there and let their hearts become so hardened and they're sitting there in arrogance and pride and they've got a false security and I cannot get down and read my Bible to them. They've committed the sin unto death. They know he's praying for them. Now let me tell you something. Don't get that perverted in your mind. When anybody hears this he'll immediately like to tell them you've committed the sin unto death. Pretty obviously you have an interest in the Word of God or you wouldn't be sitting here. I'd be the ones who wasn't interested in hearing the Word of God. If I were them I'd be the ones who's worried about that. Now are you seeing how dangerous it is to sin unto someone with a doctrine or a teacher that does not lead you into godliness? See he takes the Bible and the powers of the dark ones work with him to use you to build a reputation and a name and make him lord over God's heritage. Now when you come to God you turn away from these things of the flesh right here. You're repentant and you're overcoming. You endure the end. This is how you're getting rid of everything. It looks like a devil out of your life. Folks is this starting to make you want to get on your face? Are you seeing what God's trying to do? And then you're going in that way and then you turn back. Now let me show you something. Here's a dog to someone they used to refer to as outside of covenant. I can't hear you. Are we washed by the Word of God? Look what it says in the first chapter. Verse 26. It's happened to them who turn back to worldly ways. According to the true proverb it's like a dog returning to its own vomit. And it's like a big old pig, a sow. After washing, after washing, being washed like we wash the Word returns to walling in the mire. You come and get washed by the Word of God and then turn from it and go jump right in the middle of a pig pen somewhere. The whole message I'm sharing with you folks is love. It's a supernatural love. Now let me ask you something. I want you to think about this. Can you imagine the love, the same love that Jesus Christ had being manifested through you? Can you? That's where that joy is. That's where that peace is. That's where all that fruit of the Spirit is is when you have that kind of love it doesn't matter what anything. And you are. Let me show it to you in 1 Corinthians 13. Flesh and nature again. Now, let me ask you something folks. What is the very first thing up here that we've got the first word right up there we've got on the chart right there? Jealousy. Let me ask you something. You know if a person's jealous that means there's pride and greed in there. Jealous wants, I want to have that recognition, God's recognition. See, do you know what pride and greed does? It goes to get Jesus' glory as long as he can have about 40% of it. Can I tell you it's coming down? I want you to watch that right here. The God kind of love, verse 4, is patient. It's not impatient. The God kind of love is kind. The God kind of love is not what? If you've got the jealousy, if you're jealous you don't have the God kind of love. Can I tell you that right now? Are you seeing? We're talking about the God kind of love. You're looking at the divine nature right here in 1 Corinthians 13. That's the love that you have that you love like Jesus loved. Are you following me? This is the love that's supposed to be manifested. That's the race you run. This is what Jesus wants to perfect in you. Can you imagine what joy you have unspeakable to have this kind of love and power through you to go out and you become the fruit of righteousness. Proverbs 11.30 You become a tree of life. You slosh on everything. Anywhere you go and you don't have to dream up and think about all the clever things you're going to say. It just comes. The Spirit and the grace and the power of God and the Spirit of God gets all over everything you say and do. This God kind of love is not jealous. The God kind of love does not brag. The God kind of love is not arrogant. The God kind of love does not act unbecomingly. The God kind of love does not seek its own. The God kind of love is not provoked. The God kind of love does not take into account a wrong suffering. The God kind of love does not rejoice in unrighteousness but rejoices with the truth. The God kind of love buys all things. The God kind of love believes all things. The God kind of love hopes all things. The God kind of love endures all things. The God kind of love never fails. Look at me folks. This is a love, a supernatural love that comes out of heaven that's perfected in you that the branch don't get on its own. It only comes through the grace and mercy of God through obedience. Loving the Lord with all your heart. He perfects this God kind of love in you. Folks, with that kind of love it's going to be in heaven with the Lord forever. Now, look at verse 1. For if you speak with tongues of men and angels and you do not have this God kind of love you become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If you have the gift of prophecy you know all mystery you know all knowledge you have all faith and you are the source of all mountains and you don't have this God kind of love you're nothing. And if you give all your possessions to the poor if you deliver your body to be burned and you still don't have this God kind of love it's not going to profit you one thing. Because if you don't have this God kind of love you've proved you can love the Lord with all your heart. And therefore... Now, how can flesh look at that Bible in comprehensive and something like that how can intellect handle that? You can't handle that. The natural mind understands not the things of God it's foolishness still. So then, what does intellect have to do? He's so much smarter than God and he trusts his intellect he changes the word of God to say something else. And then because men are programmed to look up at intellect they follow the intellect instead of following God and they're the blind lead the blind. And you're not perfected in love. I'm telling you folks a church has been in darkness since the first century. And I want you to know that it's a trumpet blowing thing. And the wise virgins who love the Lord with all their heart are going to hear what's being said right here. Folks are not going to bow to men anymore. Folks are not going to be intimidated and led for persuasive argument anymore. We're going to hear Jesus out of each other. We're going to know his voice. And you can't counterfeit this love. You'll be exposed. Your Bible says it will be evident. And I'm going to show you. But your Bible says all the ones who love pride and greed all these stumbling blocks all who commit loss which is sin they're going to be destroyed and swept away. Now what I'm trying to tell you and encourage you is the Spirit of God is all over you right now. And he's ministering to you right now. He's confirming what's been said here tonight. He's told all the demons shut up. And he's given you an opportunity to repent. He's given you an opportunity to come to him with all his heart. Your heart. He's looking right in your heart. He's looking at all your motives right now. He's seeing whether you want to be like him or whether you want to be like the devil. If you want to be like the devil you go where he goes. And no false security is going to save you. There's been a great fall in the way. There's apostasy. And you're living right in the very last days in the middle of it right now. Don't ever be led anywhere by any man you don't see clearly in this Word of God right here. Because the Spirit will never lead you anywhere. That is not plain to all right here in this Word. And he's asking you to repent. Do you know how you used to be programmed? You'd hear some scripture and you're programmed to walk right out that door and shake it off like water off a duck's back and go right back in with your mindset on the things of the world thinking you're religious. And some of you will see this week that hell and death are all over folks all over this congregation and you are people that want to hear the Word. But I'm going to tell you something. It may change how you're going to come on but the one thing that I'm going to tell you it'll never happen unless you choose to love the Lord with all your heart. It's not going to happen to you. I don't care who you know or what you do. If you don't love the Lord with all your heart you'll never be perfected in love. Because you're simply trying to say Jesus, be one of my idols. Jesus will not be one of your idols. You're lost. Now, the judgment of God has been left out of here. And you're starting to hear some things. And we'll be hearing more. And you understand on one side where there is a God with a love that we can't even comprehend on the other side is a God who will destroy you forever. He's already had second thoughts that he ever created man anyway. And this God in his wisdom said well, I'll just do it another way here. I'll find out who I'm not going to destroy. Because the ones he's not going to destroy is that holy and blameless bride who's going to become like Adam was before he fell, he was holy and blameless. This concludes the tapes in this series.

Milton Green (1943 - 1987). American evangelist and Bible teacher born in Tennessee. Raised in a troubled home with an abusive father, he spiraled into alcoholism, drug addiction, and homelessness, suffering a major heart attack at 43 that left doctors predicting his death. Converted in 1972 after crying out to Jesus, he was miraculously healed and began studying Scripture intensely. A carpet cleaner by trade, Green preached across the U.S. from the late 1970s to 1987, often alongside James Robison and Leonard Ravenhill, focusing on repentance, holiness, and spiritual warfare. He authored The Great Falling Away Today (1986), warning against carnal Christianity, and recorded hundreds of sermons, widely shared online. Married to Joyce, a Christian who prayed for his salvation, they had no children. His teachings, emphasizing victory over sin through Christ, stirred thousands at seminars, though some criticized his focus on demonic influence. Green’s words, “God’s Word is the only standard for truth,” underscored his uncompromising style. His ministry, marked by humility, continues to influence evangelical circles globally
