In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of not loving the world or its desires. He references the Israelites in the wilderness who constantly lusted after worldly things and were dissatisfied. The preacher warns against being led by the flesh and sinful nature, as it leads to restlessness and separation from God. He also highlights the danger of departing from the faith and being deceived by false spirits. The sermon concludes with a call to love Jesus wholeheartedly and to be cautious of having a divided heart between God and the world.

Well, what will keep you from coming to the understanding of Jesus Christ? What will keep you from entering into the will of God and walking wordly to that calling? It's the lies of Satan. That's the only thing, if you believe a lie, that's the only thing that will separate you. Because when you walk in unbelief, you walk in sin. And when you walk in unbelief, you can't please Jesus. And when you walk in unbelief, you are out of the will of God. Period. Help me to understand your pain. When I conform to this world, embrace from your holy name. It says nothing can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. But if you're walking in unbelief, you're walking in sin and you're not in Jesus. Is that plain? If you're a non-believing man or a non-believing woman, you are dumping God all over the place. How can you please Jesus? It says in Hebrews 11 chapter 11 verse 6, it says, Those who are of faith, they're the ones who please Jesus. Without faith, it's impossible to please Jesus. How can you please Jesus if you don't believe in Jesus? You say, well, I believe. Well, why don't you live your life that way? That's a frightening thought. In 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, it says, Now the Holy Spirit expressly says that in the last days some will depart from the faith. But I haven't been taught that. When I grew up, I was taught that all Israel is Israel. All Christians are Christians. Everybody who believes in Jesus is all that. Well, which Jesus? What spirit are you led by? It says in 1 Timothy 4, it says that in the last days some will depart from the faith. I don't care what the commentary says. I don't care what the Bible says. I don't care how many pedophiles the guy in the commentary has got behind his head. I don't care who Jesus is. I don't want to be one who falls away from the faith and goes after another Jesus or a different gospel or another mosque. Help me to understand your word. If I'm a friend of this world, it's hatred towards my God. In the last days some will depart from the faith. They will listen to deceiving spirits. Are there deceiving spirits out there? Do you believe that? Is the power of the darkness working to deceive us? Do you believe that? How is it that he could deceive us? Only one way. If we stop believing the word of God, we start believing lies. That's the only power he has. Is to lie to us. And if he can get us to believe a lie, he can rob us of our salvation. That's his only power. I will not be a friend of this world any longer. So I will not be a friend of this world any longer. Some will depart from the faith in the heat of deceiving spirits, lying spirits, demon spirits. And these are teachings of devils. They speak lies and hypocrisy. This is the devil's way of rewarding Christians from their faith. Without faith we can't please Jesus. And the devil lies to people. And people buy into the lie. Well let me tell you, if you buy into the lie, you're buying and selling Jesus. Let me tell you in the last days in Revelation 13 that there's going to be a great fall on the way. And there's going to be a dead Christ rise up. And the one who receives the mark of his hammer on his forehead, he is the one who's going to deny Jesus. And no one can receive that mark without denying Jesus. And when you deny Jesus, you're the one who buys and sells. In the last days, people are going to sell the truth. And they're going to buy a lie. And they're going to be led down that garden path, straight into Christ's quarters. And they're going to take that mark, hammer, and head. And they're going to go headlong into deception. Because they don't love truth. Don't hold back. Lift your voice, fly into the trumpet. We need to count the cost and we need to buy into God's word and we need to believe it. It's the thing that will save us. It's the word that will change us. It's his word that will perform his work in us. It will cause us to overcome every line of way. It will set you apart for the purpose of God. Buy the truth and do not sell it. Comfort my people. Call out to them. The voice of old crying. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Here is the disunity we see it here in 1 John chapter 2 and verse 18. Little children, I tell you it's the last hour. It's the last days. It's the last hour 2,000 years ago. Let me tell you that for sure. And you have heard that antichrist is coming. Even now many antichrists have come. Is that what the word says? There's been a whole bunch already 2,000 years ago. And the antichrist spirit is still working today. Cry aloud. Don't hold back. Lift your voice high. By this we know that it is the last days. It is the last hour as it will. They went out from us. Who is they? It's Israel. Then in John's Bible study he was having a whole bunch of people gathering. When in Joshua's day. When in Caleb's day. When in Levi's day. When Moses was there. They were all gathering together. But then there was an hour when the word of God divided. There was a dividing wall that came between the spirit and the flesh. Between those that were children of God and those that were led by the spirit of antichrist. The ones that loved Jesus yes but they also lusted exceedingly in the wilderness. You cannot have both. You cannot love the world. You cannot love Jesus. You cannot say I'm a friend of the world. I'm a friend of Jesus. You prostitute yourself and you'll receive a different Jesus. And another gospel. And a house of jiggles. Do not love the world nor the things in the world. When we see those Israelites lusting after the calf. Crying out for quail. Always wanting more. Always dissatisfied. We are seeing that they are led by the flesh and the sinful nature. And with most of them God was not well pleased. And their bodies were scattered through the wilderness. And he swore in his anger in Hebrews chapter 4. They shall never have rest. And there is a rest today for the people of God. Let me tell you that for sure. When you are obedient to Jesus. And there is nothing. When you have no secrets you are trying to cover up. Let me tell you. There is no place. Nothing to cover. No lies to hide. Nothing. No income tax that you are trying to skirt around. No GST. No FPA. It's just rest day. Let me tell you. That is the rest. Because when you are not having to cover up sin. When the word of God comes and shines. There is nothing to hide. Search me and try me. Oh God. See Lord. I know there is still something Lord. See if there is some wicked way in me. Allow the word to shine on it and change me still. Let me tell you. That is a place of rest. And that is the rest that God wants us to enter into. That is being in Jesus. Being transparent. And if he shines his light on a little dark spot in your heart. We need to come to the light. And that is when the condemnation loses it's hold. Is when you come to the light. And let every hidden thing be brought to the feet of Jesus. Nailed to his cross as it is. But if we hide in the darkness. And we can hang on to darkness and practice sin. Blessed I'm poor. Lord I come to the light. Blessed I'm wretched and poor. It says in John chapter 3 verse 19. This is the condemnation. Men will have darkness rather than light. Because they practice sin. And if we don't want to come to the light. This is the dividing wall. Jesus is light. But men love darkness. But then they still want to have salvation. And so they say well I can have Jesus and I can have the world. But that is not possible according to the word of God. You've got to forsake your life. You have to turn your back on the light. When you've got to come to the light. And when you're facing the light. And you're walking towards the light. You're righteous just as he is righteous. It says in 1 John chapter 3. The one who practices righteousness is righteous just as Jesus is righteous. But as soon as you turn away from Jesus. You've got a little hidden sin. And you begin to practice sin. It says you're the devil. It says the devil sinned from the beginning. Confess that I'm poor. Lord I come to the light. Confess that I'm wretched and blind. And some people say oh well. You know it's okay you can have a demon sister. So you've got a few demons. Just get a little deliverance. He says greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. He says in 1 John chapter 5 verse 18. He says the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. But he says you are not that way. He said you are children of God. You are sons of God. And when you keep yourself and walk to the light. The evil one cannot touch you. The evil one cannot touch you. Oh but I've received the doctrine of demons. Christians can have demons. You're not possessed. You're just low class. Well get the oppression off. And stop denying Jesus then. And receive the spirit healing. And come to the light. Lord I come to the light. Confess that I'm wretched and blind. When you walk in the light as he is in the light. You have fellowship with one another. You and Jesus and the blood of Jesus Christ. His son cleanses you from all sin. Only acknowledge your transgressions. And I will quickly heal your backsides. But there's condemnation when you turn from the light. And let me tell you that for sure. And there's no confidence there. And Paul was in that place. In Romans chapter 7. Who will deliver you from this body of death? The good I want to do and I don't do. Why? Because the law of the light was shining on him. And the Savior had come and he was saying yeah I know. But he wouldn't come to Jesus with it. The good he wanted to do he wasn't doing. Why? Because he wasn't willing to die. He wasn't willing to come to the beloved cross. He wasn't willing to meet the head of the altar of God and lay his life down. Until he came to Jesus. Who will deliver me from this body of death? Let me tell you nothing can deliver you from that body of death except Jesus. For there is no other name under heaven by which man must be saved. And let me tell you the Mormons don't have the right one. And the Catholics got a different one. And the Jehovah Witness another one. But let me tell you that Jesus is kind of right. And his word is true. You will be free. You will be free. Lord you will be free. You will be free. He says in Romans 8 chapter 1. Now therefore the condemnation is off me and I'm back in Jesus. Hallelujah. I'm not walking according to the sinful nature. I'm walking in the spirit now. I've brought down the dividing wall. I've come to the light. Sin is the dividing wall. And the unbelief is the dividing wall. And there's to be no dividing walls among the brothers and sisters in Christ. By which man can be saved. So Lord I come bowing my knee. Remembering your wounds and holding your feet. If there's some kind of bitterness or envy or jealousy or any of these things. That's a dividing wall. Somebody's in the flesh. Maybe both. We've got to repent and we've got to come to the light. In Jesus there's unity. His church is not divided. His church is not divided. There's unity in the spirit. And we do endeavor to keep that unity. Until we come to the unity of the faith. You are worthy. You are worthy. Oh Lord I come bowing my knee. In 1 John 2 verse 3. By this you know that you know Jesus. You want to obey his words. You have the desire to obey his words. And no matter what you're going through. You keep coming to the light. You keep coming to the light. Though I fall again I will rise David says. Though a righteous man falls seven times he keeps coming to the light. And you'll start stumbling less and less and you'll get some maturity under your. And the belt of truth will start to fasten up. Maturity on your belt so to speak. Truth will hold you up. And so it's lies that cause you to stumble. There's no lying to truth. And this is what becoming a Christian is all about. Is leaving the carnal ways and becoming a true Christ. And when you're following the light God will cause you to abide in him. But the day you turn and say no I don't think so. And you reject truth. That's the day the writing wall comes up between truth and error. As in the rebellion. He says I know Jesus but won't keep the commandments. That man's a liar. That woman is a liar. It says the truth is not in me. The truth is Jesus. Jesus says I am the way the truth and the light. You love lies and you won't surrender part of your life. And you know it. That's a dangerous place. It's by your fruits, it's by your life, it's by what you say, it's by what you do that proves whether you love Jesus with all your heart, or whether you love Jesus with part of your heart and you love the world. Because when you love Jesus with part of your heart, and you love the world with part of your heart, you have a different gospel. And you'll get a different spirit if you're not careful. It's a dangerous, dangerous place.
