Come back to that in a minute, but here God wants to give a warning today I'm stopping right in the middle of something I'm just going to give you a little of it maybe before I leave here this week We can get into it more, but God's want to warn some people today and see it how you see it today right now verse 10 Jeremiah 6 verse 10 to whom shall I speak and Give warning now. That's what God wants to do today. He wants to warn that they may hear behold the ears are closed and They cannot listen Behold the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them In other words, look at me if you have part of the Bible that doesn't fit in some particular structure You offended Like the Pharisees the word of God has become a reproach to them And they have no delight in the word of God in it First lemon, I'm full of the wrath of Lord I'm weary with holding in poured out on the children in the street is happening now on the gathering of the young men together both husband and wife shall be taken the aged in the very old and their houses You see in Matthew 24. It's talking about their houses. Can I show you where that house is? right here This tent we live in and their houses shall be turned over others their fields and their wives together For I'll stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land the hedges removed that layers the Lord Far from the least of them even to the greatest of them Everyone is greedy for gain their heart goes like the world the treasures of the world. All right and From the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely and they've healed the wound or sickness torment of my people Slightly or superficially while he teaching them peace peace the folks They don't have peace it's a false peace Well, they shame is a shame because the abomination they've done they're not ashamed at all They don't even know how to blush. Therefore. They shall fall the hedges removed. They won't repent from the nature of Satan and Return to God and be led by the Spirit of God. Therefore. They shall fall among those who fall At the tap at the time that our punishment they shall be cast down says the Lord Thus says the Lord stand by the way and see and ask for the ancient paths where the good way is And it didn't say analyze the good way an ancient path is the Word of God and covenant and it said walk in it and Then if you walk in it Then the Lord puts a hedge around you and then it says you shall find rest for your souls in other words peace That's where the hedge is in the world. Everyone is being tore all the pieces in this world That's what see their minds stay on their self when your mind is set on the nature and character of Satan yet There's no peace for you It's just one big demonic game that people have to be suspicious and distrust and that day Toward one another even their own families and then you'll find rescue but they say we will not walk in it and this is what I see people, you know, when I when I get in to a Church like I did here on Sunday morning. I Watch them. I can tell I'm in a sharing the Word of God. You can tell a lot about people That's where you can always quote scripture. I can always tell what kind of crowd I got when I'm quoting scripture I'm telling the love of Lord I can tell if they'd be led with the Word of God And I could have gone through here and I could showed you a bunch of them. It wouldn't be back here Sunday night And I'm sorry And I'm not glad That's the way it is And I said a watchman over you and said you listen to the sound of the trumpet You better listen to the warning, but they just said we will not listen and That's what I see Therefore here O nations and know O congregation what is among them here O earth behold I'm bringing disaster on this people the fruit of their plans Because they've not listened to my word and as for my what Law they what? Rejected also has the law been law spoke. I Hear The law has been lost. The law has not you can't fulfill the law with the point of Godliness. Amen well, I Want you to turn with me to chapter 7 in verse 9. Will you steal? See, that's the deeds and character of Satan. Will you murder? See when you're angry at your brother. It's murder When you commit adultery, will you swear falsely, you know offer sacrifices to bail or idols? I walk after other gods the powers that I when you walk out the flesh you're walking out to the other gods the powers that are that you've not known and Then you're going to come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name and then say we're delivered Christians can't have demons Jesus became a curse for Isaac Calvary You can't be full of the spirit and fear of the devil full of the devil Although that stuff is in your life right there at the dates of the flesh What I say the chain gang come marching in Huh You say we're delivered that you do all these abominations.

Look what Paul said to him chapter 3 verse 1 you foolish Galatians verse 3 Are you so foolish having begun to the Spirit or you now being perfected by the flesh? See in other words, are you going to be perfected in the nature of God in a God kind of love? But the nature of Satan which is a flesh He said you're foolish now look up in chapter 2 verse 17 But if while seeking to be justified in Christ This is what we saw in Jeremiah 7. We are self-profound sinners Listen, let me just just mention some of these again that we're Stealings in our life murder committing adultery swearing falsely falling after other gods idols and things like these things are in your life He said if while seeking to be your but you you folks are saying you're justified in Christ And you didn't you're found sinners. These things are in your life Is Christ then the minister of this sin you say you're part of the Church of Jesus Christ and cried Jesus Christ is your Lord? Is Christ the ministry minister of all this sin that you're committing here? And what did it say right there? May it never be God's not controlling your life. The Lord Jesus Christ is not controlling your life. It's a lie For if I rebuild What I once destroyed that is a nature of Satan when you come to the Lord Jesus Christ You repent from the nature of Satan and the Spirit of God leads you to put to death the deeds of the flesh The deeds of the flesh of the nature character of selfishness and everything object love You cannot be perfected in the love if you unless you put to death the part that doesn't love that's what you're repenting from That's why he's on the law to begin with a man done the judgment law right shake your head All right now for if I reveal what I once destroyed you prove yourself to be what Hey, listen, you'd prove yourself to be a transgressor. You're back transgressor law See, I want to tell you something folks. This thing called salvation is not just an experience. It's a walk You come and receive the Spirit of God and then you're going to walk in it or you'll lose the Spirit of God Is that right? That's the reason falling away in Hebrews 4 6 10 said if anyone goes on practicing it practicing sin Willfully there no longer remains a sacrifice from Hebrews 10 26 But here's what happened the hedge come down But he can expect the fiery judgment of God the powers of darkness and move him because you're set see Jesus came to fulfill a law not to lead you to say some words some form of guidance where you're still breaking God's law from And go back to the things you repented from amen. You go back to nature and character Satan. That's a form of godliness Amen, and when a doctrine that doesn't conform you to God has captured your heart Then you start following after smart folks See they make the Word of God so complicated that you start bound to intellect and academics and hermeneutics and everything else Amen instead of Jesus and men become your source The word gets changed at the pulpit and then you have to come to man to see what God's saying Well, you're just right, but just where the Catholics were when Luther During the Reformation That's where it all started Cursed is man who follows that makes the arm of flesh is straight Jesus Christ, you don't receive anything from me unless you see it in your word and context and the Lord confirms it in your heart Amen I'm free. I don't receive nothing for no man. I put everything on the shelf until the Lord confirms you in my heart build your shelf It'll keep you from getting killed Amen Don't don't receive so I'm tell what everybody in here receive something and they're with it something you don't receive until Lord confirms it in Your heart. Amen You not you're not led by the persuasive argument of men, right? You're called in the liberty and freedom. Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen Praise God. You're already getting free, aren't you? We have a good time Well, I'll tell you what the words good now see you told him over there Let's look and I didn't plant bless relations for let's look over there while we're there first nine But now that you have come to know God For nine or rather to be known by God, how is it you to what you turn back? You turn back again to the weak and worthless Elemental things in other words, you're turning back to the flesh in the world and things in the world. Amen To which you desire to be a slave all over again Amen Now you just see if you think their tickets punched here verse 11 Paul says I fear for you. I Fear for you that perhaps I've labored over you and what? What those two words again? one more time Paul said I've labored over you in vain. In other words, I brought you the word and you've turned back to the flesh It's amazing how? See When you're looking at the eyes through a carnal doctrine You don't seem to see the simplicity and the purity of devotion of Christ. This is simple Jesus Christ said he would lead you in the all truth. Do you know what falling away is? Falling away is when you stop loving the Lord with all your heart and you love something else more And then you go backwards instead of forwards Folks did you ever notice when you got up off your knees and came to the Lord the whole heart as long as you're going forwards the Lord blessed everything you put your hands to And you knew there's some right things that needed still lacking in your life, but you're going forward You're going forwards and not backwards as long as you're doing that the Lord blesses you. Amen And he puts peace around you. You're supposed to walk in peace Amen Is that good news? All said now here you've turned back to the flesh again because you want to get with the doctrine It's distorted and contrary. You've started in the spirit. Now, you're going to be perfected in the flesh. What a joke You've turned back to worthless elemental things, right? And then what do you see over in Galatians 5? He says there in Galatians 5 you get on over tonight, then we've already went to it You know, I think it's last night that you know, if you're led by the Spirit you're no longer on the judgment law and Galatians 5 16 walk by the Spirit and you'll not care out the desires of the flesh and that's All the things in Galatians 5 is telling you how to be perfected love and put to death the deeds of the flesh That's why it's there you put to death the deeds of the flesh We are putting to death that character of nature The character and nature of Satan which you repented from and you're saying I no longer I repent from the nature of Satan I want the nature of God. I want to love my enemies I want to love like God loves I want to love the one God lets a rain shine Come on the good and evil and the sun shine on a good and evil and I want to write the way I'm gonna stand right there and I'm gonna love I'm gonna love I want to be like God no matter what they do to me God said me no longer wore the flesh at all vengeance his he already got his laws And so I'm just gonna let God be judge. I'm gonna quit judge You know, every time you have anger and forgiveness resentment in these things the flesh you're making yourself judge
