Pastor John Hagee - "Who is Your God?"

[Music] thank you today we begin a powerful series of sermons titled knowing god with this sermon who is your god the god of the Bible is a God of all hope he's a god of Mercy he's a god of love he's a god of Amazing Grace he's a god of wrath who is your God all people believe in something but in whom do you believe who is your god you believe in socialism that's your God some of you believe in communism that's your God that's not the god of the Bible you can know about God and certainly not have Jesus Christ the question is do you really know the god of the Bible or just do you know about the God of the Bible I had University professors who studied the Bible to argue to debate and to humiliate students who Express faith in God the point they knew the Bible but they did not know God they knew about God but did not know him what if the majority of church members in America believed they are saved but in fact by Bible standards they are lost not mine but by the standards of God what if you believe you're saved and at the Judgment bar of God you hear these words depart from me worker of iniquity I never knew you angels with flaming swords will escort you into the chambers of hell according to the Bible exactly that is going to happen in the future Jesus said in Matthew 7 22 many will come to me in that day the day of judgment and they'll say Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name listen to this and did we not cast out demons in your name have we not done many wonderful works in your name and then Jesus says I will profess to them depart from me worker of iniquity I never knew you not a few are going to say that but Jesus said many are going to say that Jesus said again broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to heaven and few there be that find that so the question is do you really know the god of the Bible today I'm going to paint a portrait of God as presented in the scripture and then talk about knowing versus knowing about God and then the evidences of knowing god read with me if you will John 17 and 3. if you're there Say Amen and this is eternal life that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent father and the authority of your name let us discover today the god of the Bible and let us live according to his dictates and not our own in Jesus name we pray and ask this and all of God's children said amen you may be seated consider the portrait of God in the Bible in the Genesis of time God is the creator of Heaven and Earth and he says let there be light and the Darkness vanished he sprinkled the Stars against the Velvet of the night and he calls those Stars by name listen science is now saying there are billions of galaxies with hundreds of millions of stars and God calls every Star by name think of the Grandeur of the Lord then he breathed into a handful of dirt and Man became a living soul he took a rib from that man's sight and created woman and said to the both of them turn off the television be fruitful and multiply do you know that God some of you know him better than others for centuries God Almighty did not allow his name to be known then God revealed himself as the most high God the god that we serve is higher than the highest he is greater than the greatest he is wiser than the wisest he is all-powerful he is all-knowing he is ever-present and he's the god that we serve then God revealed himself as God almighty that means you will never have a battle that you can't win and you will never have an enemy that you cannot defeat Moses defeated Pharaoh Elijah defeated Jezebel America can defeat socialism America can defeat the moral corruption in this country [Applause] then God revealed himself as Jehovah Jireh meaning God will provide all of your needs according to his riches and Glory Jehovah Jireh also can be translated as God sees therefore it is the Lord that gives you the power to get wealth do not be pushed around by your problems be led by your dreams nothing is impossible if you trust in God it is the Lord that gives you the power to get well God's children have traditionally been wealthy why not you why not you [Applause] then God is revealed as the Lord our healer Israel left Egypt and not one in that crowd of over a million people was sick or feeble for the next 40 years that's healing power think about it [Applause] next in the scripture comes the name that he is the mighty conqueror he is the Conqueror of death Hell In The Grave demons tremble At The Mention Of Jesus name next in scripture God is presented as the God of Peace Jesus says peace I give unto you and my peace I give to you not as the world gives let not your heart be troubled neither Let It Be Afraid next God is presented in the Bible as Jehovah shama The God Who was always there when the Bible says I will never leave you nor forsake you even to the ends of the Earth it means exactly that God is next presented as the god of love for God so loved the world that it gave His only begotten son the love of God how rich how pure how measureless how strong it shall forevermore endure the Saints and Angels song and finally he is the god of wrath will it surprise you to know that in the Bible there are two verses describing the wrath of God for every one verse that talks about the love of God you don't ever hear the wrath of God preached in church because we don't want to be negative but I assure you if you disobey God you will experience the wrath of God that's the god of the Bible let's consider now knowing versus knowing about God the Bible says in second Corinthians 13 5 let a man examine himself to see if he be of the faith do you really know God or are you confusing ritual with righteousness have you confused ceremony with conversion and hype with holiness there are about 160 million church members in America if they were all truly saved if they knew the god of the Bible America would not be swimming right now in this socialist sewer we would not be in this moral dilemma America is swiftly becoming a pagan Nation socialism makes the government God let me address all of you young people in the audience who have been brainwashed by your college professors in the glories of socialism Hitler was a socialist and he killed 50 million people converting them to his version of socialism Stalin was a socialist he killed a hundred million people converting them to socialism when a few controlled so many it's a dictatorship and Freedom Is Lost we are not going to bow at the altar of socialism not in this generation America is worshiping the god of pantheism is the worship of nature the big item now is climate control don't get me started then there's humanism where man is God and people are walking around saying my rights are my God humanism has murdered 62 million babies to this God listen to me very clearly you do not have the right to commit murder and abortion is murder [Applause] there's the god of materialism that's the worship of money and some of you here and many of you watching by television have sacrificed your marriage for more money you've sacrificed your children you've sacrificed your health you've sacrificed your peace of mind for money stop it stop it money can't climb up on your lap when your hair turns gray and kiss your cheek and say good night Grandpa I'll tell you that's worth a million bucks [Applause] I got her letter the other day and said pastor you're so intense about everything you do but I'm a casual Christian I returned the letter that said there is no such thing you might as well talk about a Heavenly devil or a kosher hog there's no such thing as a casual Christian you're either all in or you're not in at all [Applause] Israel is the only nation on earth created by a sovereign Act of God this is the land where Jesus was born and where he will return to rule for one thousand years this year commemorates the 75th anniversary of Israel statehood as Christians it's imperative that we celebrate with our Jewish Brethren and that we recognize their absolute title to the holy land today and forever send

screen or go to jhm.org support [Music] [Applause] I repeat do you know God or no or know about God people say I've joined the church the question is are you saved church membership is good but it's not equivalent to Salvation well I was baptized you can go down a dry Center and come up a wet Center you can be under the water but not under the blood did you change that's the question when you came to Christ did you change second Corinthians 5 17 says if anyone is in Christ he is a new creature all things have passed away hear that behold All Things become new you'll get a new vocabulary you'll get a new group of friends you'll leave me going to church on Sunday dear Lord what is the difference between Satan and most of America's church members church members believe the Bible is true so does the devil look at his conversation with Jesus in the wilderness the devil knows the Bible very well Satan knows that Jesus is the son of God Satan knows there is a heaven unto hell and his Judgment Day is not far removed Satan has never confessed Christ have you if you haven't you're not his the world view of those who truly know God think about this this is Saint Paul's worldview Saint Paul writes in Philippians 3 8 yea doubtless I count all things lost for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but done d-u-n-g equals manure that I might win Christ and that I might know him end of quote Paul the most brilliant mind of the New Testament world says the world is a dung Heap I have been given a tour of Heaven I know what God is offering you I look at this world and see if you gained it all what is it compared to what God has prepared for you he is shouting to the top of his lungs it's a dung Heap write it Off the Earth is going to be burned with fire the kingdom of God is going to endure forever whatever you have to do to get to heaven do it it's worth the price [Applause] here are evidences in the Bible that you know God these are not my opinions everything I've said I mean jot and Tittle has been out of this book those who know God stand firm and take action Daniel 11 32 says the people who know God shall stand firm and take action look stand firm and take action the background of this verse is Daniel 11. Daniel was a righteous man he was the person that God gave the revelation of what was going to happen from his generation to the end of the Earth he is called the prince of prophets this is a man that talked with God this is the man that talked with angels He is an example for America's spineless Caesar milk toast Christians who teach a non-confrontational Christianity Daniel is invited by Nebuchadnezzar to a huge banquet he's giving Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful man in the world the Babylonian Empire covered most of the Earth at this point in time he is going to the biggest deal on the planet and he's offered me to eat and he says no why because the meat had been offered to idols and it was contrary to his faith when his faith was being violated he says no hello ladies and gentlemen of the cross one of the greatest words in your vocabulary should be no I will not do that no I cannot say that no I cannot go there no no that's contrary to the law and the word of God I will not do it I will not offend the Lord by doing it the second evidence is that he and the three Hebrew children were invited to bow to the golden image of Nebuchadnezzar they said at the sound of the music you have to bow if you don't we're going to throw you in the fiery furnace the music started and they didn't bend they didn't bow and they didn't burn they look at the king and said the god that we serve is able to deliver us they knew God almighty they were thrown in the fire but when they got in the fire Jesus was there I want you to hear this when you get in trouble for standing up for righteousness God does not send someone he shows up himself [Applause] [Music] thirdly special interest groups in the government in Daniel's time entered into a conspiracy that public prayer was forbidden turn them out to closing the church sound familiar there's a difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion Daniel knew God he stood firm he took action he not only prayed three times a day but listen he prayed three times a day this time in front of a window in front of a window that was opened to the street he prayed loud because he wanted everyone to know he was violating the law of the king I'm not afraid of the Lion's Den I'm not afraid of this special interest group that's telling me to shut up my praying I'm going to pray can you see me praying does it irritate you Goody Goody Gum Drop get used to it [Applause] would you be willing to publicly protest in defense of your faith even to the point of going to jail let me tell you if this government keeps going the way it's going that's not far off into the future what kind of stand have you taken based on your Bible convictions if you take no stand on the tough moral and spiritual crisis in America you do not know God Jesus is the lion of Judah it's time for Christians to act like they're following a lion the Bible says the righteous or is bold as the lion that's what you're supposed to be in the world when the ungodly start trashing God rebut them face to face take them on shut them down the ministerial Alliance meant to discuss Daniel he's radical he's right-wing his extreme he's out of touch with the mainstream we'll have to shut his television program off Nebuchadnezzar is President you just must submit to what he says that's wrong the question is asked Can you disobey the government with God's blessing and the answer is yes when the government condones what God condemns write that down and hear three Bible illustrations when Pharaoh commanded the Egyptian midwives to drown the Jewish male babies the Egyptian midwives refused to drown the Jewish male babies and God blessed them for it they disobeyed the government on purpose to save the life of the child in the book of Acts the city council said to the New Testament Church you cannot preach in Jesus name but they did because we ought to obey God rather than man there's the illustration of the three wise men they went to Herod we're searching for the Christ child Herod who was a murderer wanted to know where he was too to kill it Herod said when you find him you come back and tell me that was the order of the government because he was a dictator they found the Christ child and the Bible says and they went home by another way they did not do what they were told to do because it was a violation of what of God's word compromise with the world is treason in the courts of Heaven I want to say that again compromise with the world is treason in the courts of Heaven the church in America is not developing recruits into disciplined soldiers of the Cross if discipline is necessary in arts and Athletics how can we expect to be conquering Christians without spiritual discipline enough to obey the word of God Ephesians 6 States we are to be the church triumphant we are to take a stand we are to fight the good fight we are to endure to the end to love not our life and to the death the Victory Is Ours through Christ the Lord Give the Lord Praise in the happiness the fourth evidence that you know God when you know God you serve him with a passion Jeremiah said it was like a fire shut up in my booms King David says ask the heart that's a deer As the deer pants after water so my heart longs For You O God that's passion Jesus was passionate about his faith he said if your eye offends you and will keep you out of the kingdom of God pluck it out if your hand would keep you from getting to Heaven cut it off that's passion it's better to go to heaven without a hand than to go to hell with a whole body to know listen to No Christ means to be intimate the word no in the Bible is passionate as in sexual Adam and Eve or intimate they were passionate Adam knew Eve Abraham knew Sarah Isaac knew Rebecca that's a passionate relationship are you passionate about your relationship with Jesus Christ do you love him Above All Else or he is something that you have compartmentalized over in the corner of your life that only gets out of the box on Sunday is this world your God or is this world as Paul said a done Heap and you're working to get the mansion you don't have to be an investment genius to know which of those is the best the story is told of a fabulously wealthy multi-millionaire he had no errors he left no will with his attorney his wife had died and his only son has lived until a teenager has a crippled nursed by the housemaid his attorney summons the family for a reading of the will and the room was packed with those who were ready to get rich the housemate also attended them sitting on a table was the picture of the Millionaire's only son and the housemaid asked the attorney may I have this and the attorney asked the relatives do any of you want this picture that was a chorus of news we don't want the picture she took the picture she went home there was a bulge in the back of the Krishna of the picture she opened it it was the will of the millionaire it simply said to the one who loves my son enough to want this picture goes all that I own she was instantly a multi-multi-millionaire the point is God the Father who owns Heaven and Earth is saying to every person in this room and those of you who are watching television Across America and around the world to those who love my son I will give you everything I own and Heaven is yours for the asking
