(Excerpt) Changing the Word of God

When you want something glorious, whatever strongholds are in your life, that's where you're going to skip and change the Word of God. Are you following what I'm saying? All right, now, when you do that, when you pervert the Word of God and people are brought up in it, what do you think happens? The blind lead the blind? Now, let me ask you something. Does he really drive people to Jesus? No.

He'll use the Word of God to bring people to himself. He becomes an idol in parts of people. Now, how many of you know, as you sit right here and know, that preachers and teachers all over this country, they've come and just, you know, but they're building, they'll bring themselves back to themselves to be the source if you want to come to Jesus.

You don't know what God's doing, you've got to come to me. That's the way they become an idol in your heart. They become the idol instead of Jesus.

And then when they become the idol in your heart, you start fulfilling pride, reputation, name, career, rewards, greed. Are you hearing me? And you've got another gospel. And that's what's been handed down.

That's the great following. Now, won't you just be honest with him? Has the Spirit of God been in control of your life? Has Jesus been Lord of your life? Let me ask you something. You walk in this stiff-necked rebellion and then told how righteous and holy you are.

Where's that coming from? That everything's all right. Where's that coming from? Honey, that's not the Word of God, but a person who's warning to give Jesus 70 percent of the glory. Now, let me tell you where he's thinking how the powers of darkness have got him to see.

He'll go over sea and land and he thinks he is really helping the Lord out. In his heart, he really thinks he's helping the Lord out. You know how the powers of darkness got him to see? They tell him, you take the Word of God.

You take the parts of the Word of God out of here that's going to make you look good and then you can bring them on. Honey, you don't bring them on. This is why Satan wanted Jesus to jump off the temple into the courtyard where all of them sit and they could see him jump down and everything and then they'd follow him and his ministry.

That's the pride of life. They'd be following the pride of life. Honey, it's God through Jesus.

He wouldn't fall for that. So you don't take no one, no word. You're zero with the rim off of it.

The only thing that makes you important to be in Jesus and you're just one part. You're just one part. You're not king.

You're only a part of the body of Christ and everybody's got a part and you don't see all the glory and power through the one person right there. You see the glory through the whole body of Christ when all the parts fit together and they fit together in love, not hate and anger and unforgiveness and resentment. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Now, we're just going to end it right here on this.

Are you understand what I'm saying? Do you hear a trumpet blowing? I think there's a trumpet blowing now and I'm saying, I'm going to tell you something. Some of you, you'll be so attacked in your mind when you walk away from here. They'll attack you to try to keep you from coming here and the rest of this thing and it's totally out of my hands.

Hey, the gospel is not to please your flesh. Is that plain to you? This gospel is not supposed to please your flesh and if you're walking out of the flesh and you still love it, you're going to be offended by this part of the Bible and that's the reason how Jesus becomes a rock, a stumbling stone to you and a rock of the fence because you become offended. Well, you know, you're offended.

You're offended because you're getting kicked in there. You're getting kicked in there because you have a rotten heart, a stubborn heart that won't repent. That's why.

That's exactly why. And if you don't turn from it, you'll be destroyed.
