missionary to my lovely wife first lady and to all of you our heavenly father's children mother turner to all the mothers to the saints our friends who are watching our members who are watching to just god's people uh it is a blessing to be in the house of the lord tonight and uh i'm ready to jump right into the word of the lord because we have a whole lot of ground to cover tonight and uh i want to call your attention to second peter uh chapter number two second peter chapter number two and while you're getting it i want to just i want to mention something uh this past sunday god bless sister evangelist uh williams um she sent me a podcast and i didn't see it sunday so she called me the other day and asked if i had time to listen to it and i had not because uh uh it takes a minute uh to get to uh get to scroll down to get to the communications and uh it was a a podcast that i got a chance to listen to uh today uh just a few minutes before service and i'll be honest with you it has me such a violent fired up i am so encouraged and inspired by what i heard now uh brian thomas from the truth network is hosting a series entitled how to keep the faith in college how to keep the faith in college and uh he's a friend with our own elder james faison and elder faison uh is doing a tremendous job working with uh our first assistant in the youth department he's over our college ministry at unc he's just a brilliant young man who loves all of all of the college campuses over all of the college campuses he's a brilliant man who loves jesus christ and when brian wanted to uh uh interview him he suggested that uh instead of he himself doing the interview he selected a couple of young folk to do it and the two people that he selected one was caryus williams and the other is caleb owens carris would you please stand please stand where brother caleb there he is stand up brother caleb praise the lord if y'all they didn't know i was going to do this but if you can get a shot of hey kyrah turn around let them see you let the camera turn this guy you go the ass carriage right there praise the lord they don't like being put on the spot and there's brother caleb now let me tell you something let me tell you something let me tell you something when i heard their interview i said lord mother turner i said they will have to be able to wipe out generations with a long s before they can silence the message of the lord and the style of preaching and teaching that we have here at the upper room now i've already sent the podcast to brother leach and we're going to put it on our website and make it available to everybody you need to hear these two the first thing you you walk away with is you know that they aren't saying something that they memorize but what they are speaking to about is what they truly believe and to hear them give answers where they're not ashamed of jesus christ they're not ashamed of holiness they're not ashamed of taking a step they're not even ashamed of being young people who are in the armed services who are in college and who have haven't and have no intentions on pledging to anybody but jesus christ and are able to articulate their position with such precision uh that that it just listen it did something for me i could hoop tonight i'm not gonna do it but i if i didn't have as much ground because brother faison i'm talking about that super job give him a big hand uh get the shock uh let the cameraman breakfast and stand up let him see you thank god for this powerful worker who is over our college ministry uh producers there he is let him turn around brother facebook they can't see you turn around the other way so there you go the other way now you there you go amen see let me tell you something we have warriors in our church we have warriors see those of you who uh are trying to you can forget the feeding up room because we got too many too many praise the lord the bench is deep and god has raised up people who who have grabbed hold to god's truth and i want you to hear this podcast i want you to hear i was just a district missionary i i would not i could not have answered those questions that these young folk answered more thoroughly i'm not sure if i could have done it as good and here they are they're not answering it and you know they're not prophesying saying what they are going to do when they get there no they're living it they're experiencing it every day and they're standing for jesus and what i love is no equivocating you know what i mean by equivocating right and no going back and forth no uh no uh attempt to be nuanced or to be neutral you know where they stand they believe the bible they believe in jesus christ they believe in holiness they're living right and living in such a manner while they could boldly proclaim god's truth knowing that they're on a podcast knowing that people may hear and they had no fear now you did something big time to me as a matter of fact uh when i made my promo today and uh uh i had not heard i hadn't i hadn't i hadn't heard the the podcast i didn't hear it until this evening you might better be glad we did i'd probably still going on and on about it see because i'm always excited see when preaching and teaching and pastoring what one of the things you want to know is is there anybody listening and who's catching it and who believes it like you do because there's a lot of people who believe but there's not a lot of people who believe like you do amen there's a lot of folk not every member is soul i know that and thank god you know the man said to jesus lord i believe help thou my unbelief man said that we grow we arrive at different places at different times but you want to know who believes who is soul and i can't say enough for their parents because the parents give them a hand uh the owens and the williams the parents mom and dad play a huge role uh in it because you know let me tell you something parents the way you represent your church the children will grab hold to that if it's important to you it will be important to them and you want your children to believe you want them to go to heaven amen you want them to be saved you want them to be so loud i don't want my children to serve no no god except the god of the bible amen i don't want them to grow out of holiness and go into another uh denomination praise the lord with holiness church say amen and wholeness operates a certain way praise the lord and so it really really as as the pastor of the church and it speaks to our youth department tremendous job tremendous job you see because when you hear stuff like that it tells you that the time invested in the zooms time invested on the phone time invested and sometimes the numbers are up sometimes they die but you keep plugging away the next thing you know you got warriors who can say it just as good as you can and that's what we want somebody ought to say amen and for those who are streaming tonight uh you'll see what the big deal is when you hear it and uh and they were just very articulate and and and uh they now they didn't they didn't tune up they didn't say rockets strike up the ban they just answered the questions that were asked them and and you could tell that they weren't pre-planned so they wanted to know that the interviewer did a great job he wanted to know what they believe and what one of the things i love that just really got me is the question about being pressured do you feel the pressure he said no no not not really no i'm not pressure i believe god see when you are applying the pressure see you're trying to peer pressure you ought to be the peer applying the pressure so you ain't the one standing over in the corner saying y'all please don't come and bother me no no no no no y'all come here i got something to tell all of you on the hill far away stood an old rugged cross you can't you can't you can't talk you can't beat me uh talking about uh a fraternity and and i've been washed in the blood of the lamb amen amen we'll have that contest any day say amen so i am blessed of the lord and highly favored thank god for everybody now let's jump into this uh this talk about their podcast it's part of my message tonight i'll be honest with you and uh and you know what they did as i teach tonight you'll see that they set me up it was a set up by god ii timothy ii peter ii peter i'll i'll end up in timothy a little bit tonight but ii peter chapter number two now i'm just going to say this from on the onset i want to teach the whole chapter tonight but so i don't know if i'll get to all of it but what i'm what i want to do to set it up i want to read verse 1 and 2 and verse 19 and then we'll try to backtrack and see uh what the lord is is saying just so many wonderful things going on ladies are you excited about tomorrow night oh i'm excited for you women calling on the name of the lord god's going to move in a mighty way i thank god for these powerful prayer women that we have in our church they can get through to god when you pray call my whole name amen several times in the prayer um peter in chapter 2 lets us know coming in off of chapter number one that not only are there holy motivated by the holy spirit and by god but there will also be false prophets motivated by the devil the bible says but there were false prophets also uh among the people the also is connecting it to chapter 1 verse 20 saying knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation for the prophecy came not in the old time by the will of man but holy men of god spake as they were moved by the holy ghost but there were false prophets also among the people even when the holy men were moved by the holy ghost there were false teachers false prophets even then he says there were false prophets among the people the people there a technical term dealing with the jews even as there shall be and i will say that there are there is there shall be false teachers among you there are people who are speaking who are motivated by the spirit of god and there are others who are speaking who are motivated by the spirit of the devil so there were false prophets uh among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you who privately privately shall bring in damnable heresies in a um in a secret way in an in clandestine in a clandestine manner clandestine manner they shall almost unnotice they shall bring in no notice this deadly things now damnable heresies a harvest is any teaching now listen to this any teaching that is contrary to the established teaching of the church see the heresis heresies they conflict with sound doctrine and he's prophesying peter says the day will come when they're going to bring in almost unnoticed you you won't you know it's the the style is one of the greatest ways to get people to fool people is through the the the art and this this the uh strategy of incrementalism just a little bit at a time get you to buy a little bit of this and get you to believe a little bit of that and then once once we got you where you go along with that we'll feed you a little more and a little more after a while you like the frog that they boil in the pan by the time he figured out he was born the show was over look at this so he says they damned they should bring in damnable heresies and these teachings that even denying the lord that some people quote that and they put a r in that word they they quote it as brought them but it's not brought it's bought barked well what did the lord buy us with he bought us with his precious blood am i right am i right so these false teachers who were bought by the lord had to at one time if they were bought and i know that this you know i know some of the theologians struggle with this but i don't believe in eternal security i believe that people can backslide i've seen it so folk a professional backsliding they can teach you how to do it right so here's how here are the steps the lord bought barked them they will deny even the lord who paid for them and in denying the lord bringing in damnable heresies look at this and bringing upon themselves swift destruction but here's what's saying and thank god caleb and carris is not one of them and so many others we got so many young heroes in this church i'm i'm moved amen uh charis i think when i would listen to you was that chloe you were referencing when you were talking about that person standing in class is it somebody else good more than merrier but i'm still i'm still i'm still drunk off of her stand i love when they stand whose side are you on well i'm i'm not quite sure yet well you're on the devil's side there i'm trying to decide you're on the devil's side you're on your way to hell jesus said he who is not for me is against me there's no demilitarized zones there's no neutral ground see the neutral grounds and feeling safe in the neutral grounds that's part of the damnable heresies see most of us who've been saved for a while understood when we got saved that it was two places heaven or hell now they call that being judgmental that's the damnable heresies you can't you can't you can't you can't tell the truth and just lay it out there everything's got to be nuanced and all that kind of stuff the devil is alive so he says right here let me let me move fast his was bad thank god it didn't say all had said oh i just would have fell out but it says and many shall follow their destructive pernicious destructive ways by reason of whom through these people the way of truth shall be evil spoken of the way of truth shall be evil spoken of verse 19 says while they promised them liberty they themselves are the servants of corruption four of whom a man is overcome of the same is he brought into bondage that is a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him i want to teach tonight from the last clause of verse 2. be clause says by a reason of of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of and i just want to teach you tonight the way of truth is evil spoken of amen the way of truth the way of truth you know the way of truth is biblical christianity note the way of truth is holiness godliness is the way of truth and holiness and godliness is being evil spoken of the way of truth evil spoken of uh we've graduated from and don't don't take all of that and have gone deeper in our attack on biblical truth say amen teach us tonight lord in jesus name amen by introduction i want to say that the apostia the apostasy is literally saints taking place is taking place right before our eyes and by the apostia uh i i mean the falling away we're in the time now it's gonna get worse but we're in the time of the falling away the bible says in second thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 3 let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first that the man of sin the man of sin be revealed the son of perdition now let's look at this falling away apostia which comes from the greek word ephistemae means to stand away from um an example of it you find it in acts 21 and 21 it says and they and they are informed of thee that thou teaches all the jews which are among the gentiles to here's the word forsake or stand away from moses saying they ought not to be circumcised this was when they were accusing paul of teaching the gentiles to stand away from moses and that's not really what he was doing but he was he was teaching them about their freedoms and christ but the key is i want you to see the use of the word apostia to stand away uh it's translated here to forsake and the uh apostilia refers to those who just outright reject the christian faith um i i was sent this um a few days ago thank you um sister walker she had gotten it from some of her african connects and uh one of the saints sent it to me today let's put the put the number one uh now look at this look at this this is this is entitled global middle finger to the end of christianity now this is a united effort it took place in england and uh these people uh are giving a finger uh a middle finger to the sky to end christianity and to create more atheists while fighting the global prayer so their sky daddy won't snatch us up so here they are um giving christianity and the god of the bible the finger isn't that something on an online event this is a a uh and by the way they're cowards because since they are atheists here's what i want to see you do uh we get comments from england find uh those same young people since they're atheists right and you know the atheists don't believe in god right so they're atheists they don't believe they don't believe in anybody's god right give all out of middle finger you bunch of spoiled brat cowards go get online giving the middle finger to good old hour they're not going to do it you know why because the muslims would blow them up next thing you know bombs we'd be going off all up in the living room but they know that we as christians you know we can't do it that way we're going to pray for them and expose them and you know i pray to god that they get saved because you're going to hell i mean you're going to burn and uh uh so they're coming after uh in this global initiative it was an online event and they're just rejecting jesus christ all together now this is a part of the falling away and this this aspect of it is dealing with people who just reject christ outright one writer said that uh these people were never saved in the first place they just reject christ outright but now if you look at first timothy chapter 4 and verse 1 this is not dealing with people who rejected christ outright the construction of this of the the verse shows that these are people who departed from christ the bible says in first timothy chapter 4 and verse 1 now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some thank god that it didn't say all some shall depart from the faith you can't depart from a faith that you were never part of that's not possible am i right so some shall depart from the faith and why are they going to depart because they were giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils now notice both texts both uh teachings put a heavy emphasis on doctrine what you believe what you believe this is why we spend time here teaching the faith and teaching the bible because at the end of the day at the end of the day thank god for singing thank god for you know let's go in we're going to worship tonight we're just going to have a service where we're going to worship nothing wrong with that everybody lifting their hands they're just worshiping and crying and getting caught up in the holy spirit but let me tell you something what keeps you is what you believe praise the lord praise god you you can't minimize the doctrine you can't minimize what you believe see you can't go off of just an emotional feeling because the devil can come in and make you feel just as good as the holy spirit can and satan knows how satan knows how satan knows how to sound right he knows how to sound correct he knows how he's the best at sounding sincere you won't die god knows if you eat of this tree your eyes will be open you you'll be just like god knowing good and evil you won't surely die i mean he was so convincing next thing i know adam and eve were starting to hypnotize listening to satan knows how to be inviting and convincing you fight him though through prayer seeking the lord and what you know your doctrine this is why the preachers in churches who do not teach the doctrine i don't care if you got 20 million members you're doing them a tremendous disservice and sooner or later they're going to go through something where they're going to have to know something you have to know what you believe and if you don't know then satan is gonna replace what you did know what little you knew he's gonna replace it with falsehood and it's going to hook so deeply in your spirit that you won't be able to get it out i'll show you if we get to it tonight what the bible teaches that the second state of the man is worse than his first satan knows how to come in and hook you with a spirit where you can't you can't shake it as a matter of fact you won't want to next thing you know you're arguing with your parents arguing to church you don't want to come to church where you do come you sit there act like you don't want to be here hooked hooked he's got his clamps in you now guys clamps in you and you can put you can post up online you can say all that stuff you want to but the devil's in you the devil's in you can't you're contradicting your own self you see people who contradict their own teachings the devil's in you he hooked you don't you let satan hook you one of the keys to keep from getting hooked by the enemy is that you got to know what you know so you got to know what you know i'm not talking about know what you feel because feelings change you got to know what you know feelings can be trusted at times more often than not they can't be because they're fickle they go up and down it depends on i mean everything a scent a perfume a cologne can change your emotions your feelings driving from point a to point b somebody can cut you off and your whole feelings have changed you can walk into walgreens and so and somebody it can be rude and shift your whole psyche feelings change feelings are fickle what's permanent is what you know what you know your doctrine your doctrine your doctrine so he says some would depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils the word departed here a fist to me this is the root word it means to put away to remove to withdraw to remove one's self we're in a time where christianity is literally right before our eyes being dumbed down this is why what these young people say was so important to me we're dumbing it down to the point where it almost doesn't mean anything to be a christian right before our eyes it means nothing holiness you know what what we call holiness now we're living a day now where people are literally calling holiness bondage they call holiness bondage and they call the freedom to disobey with disobey written scriptures freedom now the bible does say to whom the son sets free he is free indeed but he's free to be whom the lord saved him to be you're not free to be a sinner you don't you don't get saved to become a devil you don't give your heart to jesus so you can be just like the world if that's the case why not just stay the way you were which is what you what you what you're doing see you know people you know what i'm saying people treat me and us at times they they treat us so wrong oh it's just so wrong i feel like the uh prophet that says oh that my uh head was waters and my eyes a fountain of tears i'd weep for the people now i didn't write this i matter of fact i was not even around when it was written you shall make no cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor print any marks upon you i am the lord now i just read leviticus 19 and 28. i didn't read wooden 19 and 28 i read leviticus 19 and 28. i didn't write leviticus 19 and 28. leviticus 19 and 28 was written before i was born uh i had nothing to have nothing to do with the existence of leviticus 19 and 28. based on what i saw on my daddy's arms he had big guns and they were all tied up not like some of these little skinny arm guys uh uh you know carol arms um maybe if i if i had my way this probably wouldn't be that but i don't have my way matter of fact if we had our way there's quite a few scriptures that wouldn't be in the bible so okay lord we'll take this one out i'm taking this one now you know because then what would we do we'd come up with a a religion that suits our fancy which is exactly what the bible said that men would do that man would heap to themselves teachers having itching ears that they would find teachers who would tell them what they want to hear so what happens is everybody people get upset when you bring it up and then they start making stupid arguments well the law said you ain't supposed to wear this and that together you ain't supposed to put this combination that combination together i guarantee you had you been walking through the wilderness at the time with those fabrics cutting all in your skin you to thank god for giving you wisdom to know how to put something on you that would work for your skin well we couldn't eat certain foods and shrimp and all that you would thank god when we didn't have modern refrigerations and ways to keep things cold and to keep bacteria and sickness from just killing you you would thank the god of the bible for speaking and then the lord see you got to understand teaching god knew that that was a doctrine called piantheism and pantheism is the teachings the belief that god is in everything and everything in the in the universe is part of god so god is in the yeah if you want to see god just look at that tree you want to see god look at that fish you want to see god look at that mountain if you want to see god look at that sunset well the sunset is beautiful the tree is majestic the mountain is amazing all these other things are nice but they're not god they're god's creation and what god's creation does god's creation praise god we sin when we're when we look at god's creation and say that's god and so i'm gonna worship that that uh i'm gonna worship the moon i'm gonna worship the sun i'm gonna become a tree hugger and worship the trees because that's god no it's not god that's pantheism and god's not in a tree god's not in the sun god's not in the moon he made them and one of the ways that the lord uh showed the world that pantheism is wrong is god declared certain things uh clean other things unclean and he made them all and in many reasons in many cases the reason he gave was simple he said because i am the lord i am the lord and those things are not don't you worship them don't you participate in them i'm telling you you know god was the first one there's a book out called eat this and not that first book the first eat this and not that was found in the old testament and when you follow god you follow his teachings you see clearly that the lord does these things with our welfare in mind since god can't get an upset stomach not from eating food anyway he did tell some people who wouldn't obey him that he gonna spew them out of his mouth so are you following me tonight but we're dominant down we're making it we're making it mean nothing to be a christian um i i guess i guess we're just going to pretend that paul did not say come ye out from among them and be separate saith the lord and touch not the unclean thing and i will receive you uh are we going to now um say that these things aren't in the bible are we going to assume that god didn't tell us to flee fornication you're not saying anything we we're making christianity mean nothing the bible says and be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what this is uh uh ii uh corinth corinthians chapter six for what fellowship have righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion have light with darkness and what concord what peace have christ with belial and what part hath he that believeth with an infidel these were all rhetorical questions the answer is none other than trying to win them to the lord no the bible says and what agreement hath the temple of god with idols for you your body you are the temple of the living god as as look at this as god hath said i will dwell in them and i will walk in them and i will be their god and they shall be my people and since god promised to walk in us and to dwell in us and to be our god and we're to be his people he says wherefore come ye out from among them now how i want to know if nothing is wrong then what do you come out from if everything goes and you can basically make up your own religion and pretend that scripture is not scripture then what's left to come out from now that's not a rhetorical question i'd like for somebody to raise their hand and tell me because i i don't get it uh see he says come ye out from among them and be separate saith the lord and notice this and touch not the unclean thing and then god says and i will receive you and i will be a father unto you and you shall be my sons and daughters saith the lord almighty we're living in a day where it is the new thing i guess is to dress christianity down and to tattoo it up and you actually hear preachers saying things like now like well we're not going to talk about things like adultery homosexuality abortion and things like that well i i got a question for you rep well you cannot talk about it but the world does and the world is promoting it and every commercial every movie everything they're doing so if if if the world is pushing it and rev just decides he's not going to say anything about it then then then what and if the preacher doesn't speak up then who will well i get tired i get tired of hearing about it no you get tired of hearing someone preach against it give me a hand give me a big hand so you don't you don't get tired of hearing about it it's all in your favorite sitcoms it's all in the movies it's everywhere and these clinics are set up in our community they're killing our children they're turning out our girls and boys oh my all this wickedness and we're not tired of hearing about it we're just tired of our preacher preaching against it that's that's what people are saying because it's not it's not um it's not accepted now it's not the world is not cozy with it uh we're preaching against sin anymore that's that's that's that's that's being judgmental now this that's being harsh you're being mean jesus says come as you are he never said stay as you are somebody show me that in the bible stay as you are no no holiness is a highway and you know what i'm grateful for oh i'm and i'm getting ahead of myself i'm grateful that god has blessed us down through the years to not be transgressors and what i mean by that is this the bible says in galatians chapter 2 and verse 18 if i build again the things i once destroyed i make myself a transgressor now the question is rev uh was was you wrong then and are you right now are you wrong now and you were right then because we see people today preaching against what they used to preach for condemning what they used to support saying what they said was god yesterday now they're saying it's not god or god don't pay attention to that so anyway you look at that you're making yourself a transgressor was i wrong then and am i right now or am i uh wrong now and i was right then either way you're a transgressor you can tell the man of god whom god is using or the woman of god for that matter god's messenger is consistent you don't change your doctrine with the uh with the with the the culture well the people people don't want to hear that no more so we ain't going to talk about that you're not god's man you're not god's woman you're counterfeit you're part of the false teachers whom the bible said would slip in the challenge is who can remain faithful to the faith that's the job the bible says be thou faithful unto death unto death it might kill you be thou faithful unto death and i will give thee a crown of life and many have violated that they have long since forsaken the very thing that they told you and i'm listen i'm proud when people come up to me or i hear from people and they said you know when you go back and thank god for the you know internet now they can go back now people take your old stuff and put it out there don't even look the same no more you praise the lord have black it was slick then mustache and oh my much bigger praise the lord wide all that but you know you know what was the same the word of god styles come and go but the word of god ought to remain the same that's how you know you're dealing with somebody praise the lord who's preaching the truth and hey they they're not scared that somebody might pull up the old tape pull it up pull it up it's all the same you know why because god's word doesn't change and as a as a people we are vulnerable we are vulnerable we are we're the most gullible the bible says these are they that creep into the houses and lead captive silly women the word silly there literally is uh literally means gullible gullible means easy to believe easily persuaded easily persuaded don't be gullible you don't walk away from what you've been taught and that you see in the scripture paul was stunned at the gullibility of the saints of galicia he said i'm shocked that you were so easily so quickly removed from the gospel who bewitched you that you should not obey the truth that had been evidently set forth before you so now let's see what peter has to say are you following me peter said this in in in ii peter chapter uh number two and uh uh chap chapter two put your finger there this is bible study i'm sorry y'all this is bible study paul said in galatians chapter 3 i'll try not to go there paul said all foolish galatians who have bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes jesus christ have been evidently set forth that is the teachings were made clear were made clear and when you read these passages you see how he was stunned that they allowed anyone to come in and to move them from their beliefs in christ jesus saints i want to encourage you to hold to the lord's hand as never before amen and if we serve the lord and we get this thing through faith in christ he says this only i learn of you receive either spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith well the answer there is they received it from the hearing of faith he says are ye so foolish having begun in the spirit and are ye now made perfect by the flesh by your pure human efforts he says no if if this started in the spirit you got to stay in the spirit it takes the spirit of god not a bunch of man-made rules it takes the spirit of god to keep you holy to keep you saved and to keep you strong it takes the spirit of god to give us the power to outwit the devil galatians chapter 5 verse 7 paul asked this question he said you did run well who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth don't run for a while i want to challenge you run until your days are done amen i come out here to stay lord until i die i don't want i don't want the testimony that he put up a good fight he lasted a long time no no no i won't last a long time i won't last till i die i don't know you did run no i want to run until i drop now once it's over you know you can't go any further than that and then i go from labor to reward but i don't want the reputation oh at one time he was on fire for the lord and running for jesus and uh next and now now he's uh a liberal preacher he went the other way maybe he maybe he did it to draw people maybe maybe he did it uh for money maybe he's sold out uh for fortune for fame whatever the case may be i don't want that i don't want that and you don't either now paul says peter peter peter says chapter 2 but there were false prophets also among the people even as there shall be uh false teachers among you who will uh surprisingly or secretly or surreptitiously yes they will bring in damnable heresies false teachings and here's the thing they would bring in here's the style that's what i want you to recognize this is for this is for the the sharp-minded christian the harrises these are false teachers but what they do is they bring in the false teachings alongside the true bible doctrine see they it's it's a mixture they they marinade the two they add a little falsehood with the truth that's that way you won't recognize it see a lot of things that's going on today they can't come out and tell you so what they do is he here's the truth and his poison and they just mix it all together where and it blends well and sometimes this uh false doctrine when you when you when you drink that the lemonade you can't even taste it it's pausing now it's going to kill you but you can't even taste it it's almost like uh it is said i'm not going to try it i don't recommend that you do that antifreeze is sweet to the taste don't drink it it'll kill your dead now the human body can't digest that will kill you dead that is you got to die it's poison so don't ingest that you gotta make sure i gotta make sure i make that clear let somebody watching say well you know i heard a you wouldn't say don't drink antifreeze it will kill you daddy's you have to die but when you it is sad i i don't know because the proof that i have never drink drunk is i'm standing here um but but but it is said to be sweet to the taste you you don't know that you're getting ready to die that's how that's how the devil just slips this stuff in he hides it he hides it with you know we don't want to judge anybody you know we don't want to be hard we don't want to be mean he hides his intentions he brings in falsehood it's it's a method this is why the the sharp believer has to be filled with the holy spirit and filled with prayer so that while you're listening to a speaker or a teacher you're also discerning discerning the holy spirit of god gives you discernment sometimes you don't know what's wrong with the thing but you know something's wrong so i can't put my finger on it but some something hey something ain't right something is not right i can't put my finger on it but it's not right that's the way that the holy spirit is you know what he does sometimes sometimes he doesn't explain to you what's going on he just sends alarms off in your spirit macarthur wrote a book entitled the vanishing conscience and he said the conscience of a man is like that automatic pilot that thing on the plane that when the plane is uh if the plane is going down it's descending at too fast of a rate that that that that voice come on and say pull up pull up pull up pull up and and and it warns the pilot you gotta you gotta do something well when when when if that malfunctions then you're going down and nothing is talking to you and there are those who are going now and they've lost their conscience they don't have the holy spirit they lost their conscience and they're they're descending into sin and they feel good about it and they said that i'm free this is this is of god they've lost pull up now the bible calls that having your conscience seared with a hot iron it doesn't didn't warn you you can sin and it don't bother you praise the lord you can walk into falsehood you can stand there pledging pledging you all they did a super job with it pledging and you know people are trying to say now you know well there's no doctrine with these fraternities and sororities who are you pledging to who are you pledging to if there's no doctrine there's no god who you pledging to and if there's no doctrine there's no god why is it secretive and if there's no doctrine there's no god why can't everybody be in it why why the world can't wear your colors why is it why it's just any any anybody can just go sit on the the go up to your frat house or where those rocks are you got you got your logo painted on them why can't anybody just go up then just just lean and you know you can't do that oh no then they and then if that's if that's if it's that clean why do most of them try to recruit you by talking telling the guys how many women they can get how much drinking you can do you say it on the news all the time somebody somebody's teenage child and going to hell again he drunk a gallon of liquor trying to pledge uh through the hazing and died and you know and you know the parents was crying and all that but everybody's sanctified no oh we feel bad for you your child lost you don't go to heaven after you drink a whole that ain't the way to get the glory and you go out like that ain't nobody gonna be repenting talking about lord come in and touch me you're drunk you're crazy drummer you're out of your head out of your mind's wrong and if you leave here out of your head and out of your mind drunk i know it's popular now for them to say that everybody's in a better place cause they look at a corpse look at him he looks so peaceful he's dead not he dead i know he's in a better place and the problem the problem we talk like that is that's a heresies that's a damnable harrison in our attempt to comfort the family that's a damnable heritage so we send the message to everyone else you don't have to really get right because everybody else out there know how the president was living you out around the corner with him the night before robbing somebody killing somebody mugging and thugging snatching taking the stuff out the out the man's stove and as you walked out you got your head blown off and then some preacher well i know he's in a better place the folks in there say what they know better that's how we that's how in many cases the christian church loses his credibility they walk away they're respectful good job real rap did good didn't it y'all real blind when you when you get with the boys you know getting get by himself with the family where y'all real blind cause y'all know y'all know y'all know that ninja wasn't no good that's that's why we killed it say amen that's where it goes and and you know what they have no more respect for the church none no more respect no respect for the church i can only wonder what they're saying online tonight i'm glad see i i don't preach looking at you know some people could see everything that wouldn't work for me i could see it right what did you you know oh man we were going back and forth all night long damn the ball harrison it's an art it's an art they bring it in right beside the truth it comes in uh in a clandestine manner it seems it's it's benign in its approach it teach you just a little bit and and and the the the the cult of pearsons and this universalism and all of this stuff and and the things that they're bringing into the church today the the the smoke and the ashes and all this stuff this this this massive dime this massive you know i've talked about it i i've made a lot of enemies i know but i'm gonna still talk against the spirit of modern entity they have they have profaned the house of god the word profane means to secularize the crosses are gone have you know cross is gone you have these places you go if if they blindfolded you and and brought you in and set you down and took the blind blinders off and say where are you oh this is a nice club they would guess just about everything but a church that's by design and then and then people come like they're going to the club that's by design thank god for those three applause thank god thank god you know because when you get into this it gets murky but it ain't murky it's damnable heresies we don't view god as the king that he is the bible says for our god is a great king and a god to be worshiped above all gods there's a certain amount of dignity there's a certain amount of decorum there's a certain way that you approach the king ain't nobody gonna go to the white house dressed like you just left the gym whether whether you like the president or not so you can you get an invite that's an honor you're gonna go if you ain't got nothing nice you're gonna go borrowing something man you know we look like we're the same size you got extra this or that because you're going somewhere and with black folk used to be the only place that we could go in society that that we call somewhere was to the church but i guess now that we can go anywhere we want the church ain't special no more that's the devil that's the devil that's the devil some of you don't like it when i tell you you don't want to sing these sad songs too long 30 minutes and you still haven't got a breakthrough yet and uh it's the blues it's the blues let me tell you something the joy of the lord is our strength the joy of the lord is our strength the joy of the lord you know you know one reason i stayed safe when i got saved you know you know i stayed one of the key components that kept me in holiness i enjoyed it i enjoyed it get down there on friday we didn't have a whole church out band we had an organ and uh sometimes a drummer most times just to organ the the drum was the hardwood floor and and your feet and man we go to rockin and i enjoyed it and the saints would go forth together the old and the young praising the lord preacher preaching like the world the world's coming to an end back then the microphone was realistic from radio shack and with a radio shack mic we get happen now we got all this sophisticated stuff and sometimes you sit there with your arms awful more hard to say man you don't have any joy but you're a deep believer deep won't keep you never i didn't say the depth will uh be our strength never mind say the joy of the lord the joy of the lord is our strength you know what i'm saying it's so hard to come out of people enjoy say what is it about drinking dan joy enjoy i said ain't no big mister said how many how many demons none they enjoy they enjoy that they enjoy they enjoy drugs now they hooked on it but they like it some some folk are in the gangs they like thugging and killing they enjoy they take pleasure in taking your car from you they enjoy that's the devil and and but they understand they understand the role that pleasure and enjoyment play anything and we're trying to take all the pleasure out of the church all right let me try to teach this chapter to you i'm watching the clock we're gonna stay here all night tonight women's got prayer tomorrow night amen and some of y'all don't know when to say amen what you were supposed to say go ahead go ahead and teach pastor come on amen pound with the first one amen all right it says in many many here's what's said many will be attracted to this type of thing make sure you your name is not many many don't get caught up in that and uh for all you mothers who are expecting tonight don't name your baby many and many shall shall follow that pernicious ways by whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of i've never heard so many preachers preach against church and christianity and standards have you ever seen anything like it the way of truth the way of holiness now is we call it bondage we call it the spirit of religion it's called everything except what it is it's the lord setting you free to be somebody black folk used to want to be somebody we there was a time we want we wanted to look like somebody and we wanted to be somebody and we got saved and we straightened up the style night is to get saved and get crooked what is this uh christianity by surprise you're a christian but you're disguised as a though and after they've known you for a while it is revealed some kind of way through all those layers of worldliness you're born again nobody buys that that's not effective that's cheap it's called there's a word for it it's called easy believism it is a style of christianity that takes everything that makes christianity christianity out of it and so that's appealing to the person who really don't want to be saved anyway but you know they want to be in church but they really don't don't want to pay the price and so what happens is you come up with a a new brand it's christianity with a bell curve see and so you have a new style that requires nothing of you and the only way to sell that to people is that you got to speak evil of churches that have standards and so he said i'm free now i'm free free to wear um tattered jeans free to mock all over your body free to not look like who and what you claim to be free to be as secular as you want to be free well you had that before you uh claimed salvation amen i find i'm like pilate i find no fault in him i find no fault in biblical christianity i don't think it needs to be changed at all well you know some things in the church the church is fine ain't the church the problem with this world is not the church it's certainly not it's certainly not standards the problem we have is that we've relaxed the standards we've relaxed the bar to the point where it doesn't mean anything and to keep people from thinking you have to constantly feed them with a a a teaching that that speaks evil of the way of truth the way of truth this is how they're going to do it they're going to speak evil and the word they're speaking evil literally it's literally they blaspheme true holiness they blaspheme it and they will the devil make you think everybody's a hypocrite ain't nobody living right and all that be careful how you fall for that stuff be careful how you fall for that because the person who's trying to promote that stuff they have an angle they want to make you believe that nobody's who they say they are so they work their angle some people already say they man all night they work their ankles all right they work their angle see and and you got you know what you got to know how to do you got to know how to see further than they can because this is the enemy that's this is this is the enemy coming against the saints of god and when the way of truth is evil spoken of next thing you know you know when you find yourself caught up in the black hebrews you find yourself caught up in all these kind of messed up movement and and you know you were raised uh uh differently and to know better and then you begin to deny the very lord who bought you see that's why and then i get i get enemies on this this is why blm and upper room won't set horses because i want to know blm who is jesus say who is jesus who is jesus in your doctrine what role does he play as you are chanting the names of dead people calling up with say george floyd that's that way of summoning the spirit of george floyd now this sanctified preacher is not going to be out marching for any reason participating in necromancy which is the communication with the dead well you got to you well we got to do something about police brutality well i'll tell you what communicating with the dad ain't the way i'm going to do it um i i know a good way to to to defeat some of this brutality has just stopped breaking the law you'd be surprised how much you would cut down on it you would be surprised how about not being so drunk in the car that the man called the police to say come get him because he's too drunk to drive that will cut out a whole lot of brutality right there you don't like what i'm saying but i'm telling you the truth that that's easier than than getting caught up in demon spirits and then you're going to bring that stuff back to the church and then people put these things up in that church why are you talking about this i want you to see how these heresies are making their way in and we're doing the same thing the same thing that we criticized and we were just in our criticism and just in our condemnation of the nazis of the clans of the white racist who thought that they were superior based solely on their complexion they were wrong it was wrong for them to try to use christianity to justify slavery to justify mistreating black folk and now we're doing the same thing i'm not going along with that i love the holy spirit and uh i like what these young folks said ain't no pressure to go along with it i just feel so much pressure i don't feel that much pressure praise the lord i am pressure praise god god plus one is a majority you got to learn how to be pressure i'm pastor i'm just i'm just holding on i'm just holding on just by one finger what's the what's wrong with the rest of your fingers what's wrong with the rest of them grab that grab hold to the lord with both hands the pastor taught me y'all stopped saying i'm i'm hanging on you know he told us because when you hang it on you can fall at any time he said you got the hold on i stopped saying hang on stop that see get me get a grip and hold on and hold on for this ride cause cause jesus gonna take you on a ride now good god oh my and that's what i love about it and serving him he takes you for a ride and we will defeat all these little things they all come and go what remains is the word of god he said right here oh i'm looking at the time i'm looking at the time he said uh that he dealt with their motives through covetousness they're not concerned about your soul through covetousness shall they with fame that is artificial words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time look at this of a long time linger if not that is the sentence will settle against them a long time ago and their damnation slumber if not the destruction that's coming their way is not asleep and then he gives us some examples follow me now he says if god spared not the angels that sin but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment these were the angels that listened to satan god didn't spare them he cast them down and thank god thank god that he didn't let all of them roam the earth in god good he put some they were too ferocious he put some in chains of gloom and they can't get you they can't get you and they can't get me and god's gonna leave them there until the day of judgment then he will let them out judge them and throw them in the lake of fire now ain't the way you look at those angels should have kept their first estate they should have stayed with the lord they should have listened to god they got on the devil's side and they've been in chains ever since look i can i can they right now they try i wish i could get it but you can't because you can't break god's chains see god can make chains that the devil can't break praise the lord thank you lord you know why i'm grateful because i know what what we have to do to contend with these angels these fallen angels who can get to you it takes the father son and the holy ghost to keep you from them think about this that there are some that are worse than that and the lord put them in chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment and then look at this look at this verse five and spared not the old world comma and spared not the old world is a reference to genesis chapter 1 verse 1 and 2. the old world we read about it in genesis 1 it says in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth that's the whole world and the earth became void and dark he didn't spare it everything that lived got wiped out some say a meteorite hit it it theologians called it satan's flood but see and he hadn't got to know her yet that was the first one and see then in verse three god begins to restore the planet not to recreate but to restore that's why god says let there be light and it begins to set he began to bring order back to chaos god says and let the let the uh the dry land appeared and he tells the green grass to grow and he separates the firmament and all that he's restoring the planet back to where it was then he puts adam and eve here and then he says be uh a fruitful multiply and replenish re why replenish because he spared not the old world what almighty god we serve isn't that good it says god who spared not the old world comma then he moves again but now in the the the new world the world that existed after let there be light after making adam and eve after telling them to replenish he saved noah and the eight noah but saved noah the eighth person and we learned something about noah he was a preacher of righteousness bringing in now this is the flood this is called the the anti-deluvian age bringing in the flood are you following me upon the world of the ungodly now this is a reference to genesis chapter 6 and verse 18 you read it now he moves up further in history and now he goes to genesis chapter 18 chapter 19 and turning the cities of sodom and gomorrah and into ashes condemning them with an overthrow making an example unto those that after should live ungodly this is a dumb world because people sure aren't learning from that instead preachers are saying we ain't going to preach about that but the bible says making an example why are you going to make an example if people don't preach and don't tell the story look at this are you following me and verse look at what it says and delivered righteous lot vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked for that righteous man dwelling among them and seeing and hearing vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds the lord knoweth how it's good news to deliver the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust until the day of judgment to be punished this should encourage you because listen god knows how to deliver you and god knows how to take care of the unjust so don't lose your mind don't get all depressed and all that don't get on no you don't need to get on the uh uh antidepressants and all that how about just get on your knees call on the lord seek the lord let god fill you with joy believe believe the bible he says verse 10 but chiefly them that walk look at this he goes back to it but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and now i can spend the rest of the day on this look at this and despise government and see now you won't like me you won't like me now you won't like me now ain't nobody i i if they were killing me online they gonna really shoot me now but you can't kill me despise governments that deals with natural governments and religious governments or everybody now wants to be independent do their own thing self-appointed apostles self-appointed pastors self self-appointed this and that couldn't make it in an organization whether it rules as i'm a bishop in the church of god of christ but i didn't get out to get elevated i stayed in and met the requirements that's that's when you respect what you've done not a shortcut see that's not a shortcut where you leave and then you come back or whether you don't even come back you show up again and you got a new title anybody can do that anyone can do that apostles who don't do not have the proof of their apostleship some apostles can show you why they are you can't be no apostle with three people you got the title but there's nothing behind that you're a bishop and okay well where's your jurisdiction where are the churches where well you know well we don't have them are you pastoring well yes i got five people around here and but you gotta you see despise governments you guys who got ordained the other day it meant something because you did not take shortcuts you stayed in the order and you work your way up they have to do it you have to you know you're not going to become an attorney until you pass the ball you're not going to become a doctor until you meet the standards in religion no such thing despise government won't submit but want everybody to hear them presumptuous are they that's that i really like that that means they're daring they're arrogant online y'all didn't get that not impressive daring and arrogant self-willed they are not afraid to speak evil of dignity that they're so self-will not only will they speak evil of people whom god have elevated they will even speak evil of celestial beings people did not understand i did i made it clear whenever some was talking too much against some of our ranking officials and i said no you can't do that you know i got that from mother the bible you're gonna post online and attack the presiding bishop you're gonna post online and attack this ranking official or that ranking official and uh and the the immediate question is who are you what have you done and where is your biblical permission to speak evil of a dignitary whether whether you are right or wrong where is the scripture permission to do such amen now i'm reading from ii peter not second patrick this is bible you're looking at me like it's not bible it's bible amen presumptuous uh self-willed they're not afraid to speak evil of dignity but not notice this whereas angels look at the con look at the con how verse 11 contrasts verse 10 whereas angels which are greater in power and might bring not a railing accusation against them before the lord those same angels who are stronger than these losers angels who are stronger than these self-willed people in power and might won't speak evil of the dignitaries that these arrogant people have just spoken evil of angels who are stronger won't do that isn't that something we got we need to ask god to bridle our tongue see this this online stuff is it's it's some people they have no discipline no discipline until you get face to face no discipline i call them paper tigers no discipline and they will speak evil of dignitaries of dignities and when you're not supposed to do there has to be a line that you won't cross amen i wish i had a man corner maybe i have one sunday uh the the the the disrespect is is is is astonishing see so he says uh uh but these let me finish this i'm running out of time i run out of time so but these and verse in the greek verse 12 uh through verse 17 is one long sentence he says but these comma as now and there's a there's a period in in verse 16 it says but these as natural brute beasts now he's speaking this about human beings who these daring presumptuous people he called them natural brew beasts made to be taken and destroyed speaking evil of things that they understand not and shall utterly perish in their own corruption semicolon and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime they're going to be punished just like god's going to punish folk who get out in public and display their sin before everybody and then he he reveals and people are doing this they're they're putting their stuff out there uh and sometimes it's online they make fools of themselves online but they are religious because notice what he mentions spots are they and blemishes sporting themselves they right they they revel in their sin with their own deceivings while they feast with you that is while they participate in the communal meals and the love feasts they used to have so when they would have a love feast these people show up and they're religious about like what you see sometimes when you go to some of these national conventions you see men dressed like women it's a disgrace it's a disgrace it's embarrassing to see and they have no shame themselves in their arrogance god will bring swift destruction verse 14 says having eyes full of adultery that is they want every woman they see having eyes full of adultery that cannot cease from sin and here's the worst beguiling evil souls they bring a church service to dissipation that is they make it debauchery and they beguile unstable unstable souls i'm going to stop right here don't you be that don't you be that tonight my friends go online i'm way i'm way over time tonight don't you be an unstable soul don't be gullible to people speaking

astray may we all stand may we all stand thank you for coming i love you with the love of the lord and let every ladies tomorrow night it's on it's on its own and um we thank god for uh prophetess

she's made a commitment and she's going to be here with the saints uh tomorrow night and i appreciate that because we most certainly would have understood given the situation has she not been able to come so god is going to honor that god's going to honor you it speaks volumes of how she views your first lady amen sees her as a powerful woman of god and women call my name when you pray let everybody say god first we're going to let our senior citizens uh exit first god's going to keep you god's going to keep you he's going to keep you just as he's been keeping you amen you
