WELL, LAST WEEK, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? AND WE HAVE TO LOOK -- TOPICS THROUGH IT, CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU IS THE MAIN TOPIC, DOES THE WORLD HATE YOU? WILL THE WORLD HATE YOU? SHOULD THE WORLD HATE YOU ? AND FOR THE BELIEVER, THE ANSWER SHOULD BE YES. FOR EVERY ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS. CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? SO LET'S LOOK AT OUR FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURES, LET'S CHUCK AT JOHN, TH LOOK AT JOHN, CHAPTER 7 AND REVIE KWUKLY AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO TODAY'S LESSON. IN JOHN CHAPTER 7, JESUS SAID THESE WORDS TO HIS BROTHERS . VERSE 7. HE SAID TO THEM, THE WORLD CANNOT HATE YOU. HE'S TALKING TO HIS BROTHERS, THE WORLD CAN'T HATE YOU. HE SAI SAYS, BUT IT HATES ME. NOW, THE QUESTION IS, WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE YOU, JESUS? WELL, HE ANSWERS IT RIGHT THERE. HE SAYS, BECAUSE I TESTIFY OF IT THAT ITS WORKS ARE EVIL. NOW, AFTERNOO SAYS THE WORLD CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO HATE YOU, BUT IT DOES HATE ME BECAUSE I DENOUNCE IT FOR ITS WICKED WORKS. I DENOUNCE IT. JESUS SAYS IT HATES ME BECAUSE I DENOUNCE THIS WORLD OF ITS EVIL, WICKED WORKS. AND I REVEAL THAT WHAT IT'S DOING OR IT'S DOINGS ARE EVIL. SO CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? CAN YOU? DO YOU? DENOUNCE IT FOR ITS WICKED WORK SNS DO YOU REVEAL THAT ITS DOINGS ARE EVIL? JESUS SAYS THE WORLD CANNOT HATE YOU, IT CAN ONLY HATE ME. THE WORLD COULDN'T HATE HIS BROTHERS BECAUSE HIS BROTHERS DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HIM, HEM, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND IN JOHN 17, JESUS SAYS, YOU N KNOW, THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, EVEN THOUGH AS I AM NOT OF THE WORLD. HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES, YOU'RE NOT OF THE WORLD, YOU'RE IN THIS WORLD, BUT YOU'RE NOT OF THIS WORLD. AND HE TALKS ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WILL HATE HIS FOLLOWERS. NOW, LET'S QUICKLY REVIEW, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TO GET TO TODAY. IN REVIEW. ON THE SCREEN, PLEASE. WE DEFINE THE WORD WORLD. WORLD, THE GREEK WORLD IS COSMOS AND IT MEANS THE VAST SYSTEM OF THIS AGE WHICH SATAN PROMOT PROMOTES AND RULES OVER. THE WORLD. THE VAST SYSTEMS OF THIS AGE WHICH SATAN PROMOTES. NOTICE SATAN PROMOTES. SAY ITS PROMOTES. NOT ONLY DOES HE PROMOTE, BUT HE RULES OVER. SO IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO INTO IT, BUT THAT SATAN IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD. HE'S THE PRINCE OF -- JESUS SAYS HE'S THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD, WE WENT THROUGH THAT THE LAST TIME. THAT'S OTHER THING. OTHER THINGS FOR REVIEW, PLEASE. PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. WE SAID THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE HATED BY THE WORLD. EVERY CHRISTIAN. WHY IS THAT? NEXT. BECAUSE ONENESS IS BASED ON OUR COMMON RELATIONSHIP TO THE FATHER. AND REMEMBER, JESUS SAID IN JOHN 17, DON'T TAKE THAT OFF THE SCREEN, JESUS SAID IN JOHN 17, I PRAY THAT THEY ALL MAKE ONE, SO ONENESS IS BASED ON OUR COMMON RELATIONSHIP 20 THE FATHER, S TO THE FATHER. SO EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE MATE HATE HATED BECAUSE OF OUR COMMON RELATIONSHIP TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT ALL COMMON RELATIONSHIP AND HAVE THE SAME BASIC CA ATTITUDE, NOTICE NOW, TOWARDS THE WORLD, THE WORD, RIGHTEOUSNESS STANDARDS, THE LOSS AND HOLINESS. WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME BASIC AND VIEWPOINT AS CHRISTIANS. WED SAID IN REVIEW, NEXT, PLEASE, WE ALSO SAID IN REVIEW, THAT SATAN USES EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD TO OPPOSE GOD, O PPPOSE HIS PEOPLE, TO OPPOSE THE WORD OF GOD, TO OPPOSE GOD'S VALU VALUES AND GOD'S STANDARDS, GOD HAS STANDARDS. GOD'S WORD IS WHAT WE GOVERN OUR LIVES BY, BUT SATAN USES EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD TO OPPOSE GOD, SO OPPOSE THE CHURCH, SO OPPOSE GOD'S SPEE PEOPLE, TO OPPOSE THE WORD, AND TO OPPOSE GOD'S STANDARDS, EVERYTHING. USES SCIENCE, USES THE MEDICAL WORLD, MEDICAL WORLD, WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH HAVING ABORTIONS? WHAT IS THIS GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS? AND WHAT IS ALL OF THE DRUGS THAT COME OUT OF THE AGRICULTURAL WORLD AND THEN THE PHARMACEUTICAL WORLD? WHAT IS ALL OF THIS? AND WHAT ABOUT OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS? LOOK AT WHAT IT HAS DONE TO THE MINDS OF SO MANY PEOPLE. LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WITH AN ANTI-GOD SPIRIT, ANTI-ISRAEL SPIRIT, ANTI-AMERICA SPIRIT, AND YET, YOU'RE BORN AND RAISED IN THIS GREAT NATION. LET ME TELL YOU, WHEN IT COMES TO THE EDUCATION, WE OUGHT TO BE FOR, YOU KNOW -- WHAT'S IT CALLED -- CHOICE? YEAH, SCHOOL CHOICE, WE OUGHT TO BE FOR THAT. THEY OUGHT NOT BE ONE CHRISTIAN THAT'S NOT FOR SCHOOL CHOICE. WHY? BECAUSE AS CHRISTIANS, WE WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT OUR CHILDREN, IF WE'RE NOT FINANCIALLY CAPABLE, TO PUT OUR CHILDREN IN A PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. WHERE THEY WILL GET AN OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC EDUCATION AND EDUCATION AND AT THE SAME TIME, GET A BIBLL BIBLICAL WORLD VIEW. YOU CAN'T GET THAT BUBBLY CAL WORLD VIE BUBBLY CAL WORLD VIEW IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BUT IT SHOULD BE IN EVERY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. WE OUGHT TO BE FOR SCHOOL CHOICE. SO E WON' WE WON'T GET BRAIN WATCH WAS BRAINWASHED BY THE ENEMY AND COME OUT NOT BELIEVING IN GOD LIKE THEY DO IN SO MANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND COLLEG COLLEGES AND ETCETERA, ETCETERA, ETCETERA. SO THE DEVIL USES EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD SYSTEM. TO OPPOSE GOD, TO OPPOSE HIS PEOPLE, ON AND ON AND ON, IT GOES. AND SO WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE IN REVIEW, PLEASE? LOVING THE WORLD MEANS BEING INTIMATE WITH. AND DEVOTED TO ITS VALUES, ITS INTERESTS, ITS WAYS, AND PLEASANTS, ENJOYING AND TAKING PLEASURE IN WHAT'S OFFENSIV TO GOD. THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. LOVE NOT THE WORLD. BUT IF YOU LOVE THE WORLD, IT MEANS, IF YOU LOVE THE WORLD, IT MEANS THAT YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN THE THINGS THAT ARE OFFENSIVE TO GOD. YOU ARE INTIMATE AND DEVOTED TO THE WORLD'S VALUES, AND THAT'S NOT -- THAT'S NOT WHAT -- THAT'S NO NOT ONE CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE IN THAT PLACE IN THEIR HEARTS. NOT ONE CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE THAT WAY. NEXT. NOW, WE'RE GETTING TO WHAT WE WANTED TO START OFF TOGETHER. OKAY, THAT BRINGS US TO TODAY. NOW, I NEED YOU TO GET READY TO WRITE THINGS DOWN, TYPE THINGS INTO YOUR TABLET, IN YOUR PHONES, WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO GIVE YOU TODAY. AND SO, LET'S -- I'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME, TOO. I'VE GOT UP HERE AT 102 10:23 OR SOMETHING, THAT'S AMAZING, WE WERE ALL IN THE HOUSE TOGETHER, WE'D STILL BE PRAISING GOD AND HAVING A GOOD TIME, RUNNING AROUND THE CHURCH AND SHOUTING AND RUNS, ETCETERA, AND ALLOWING, YOU KNOW, THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE WAY THAT HE WANTS TO DO. SO I'VE GOT UP HERE AROUND 10210:23 OR SO, COULD BE OFF A MINUTE OR TWO, SO THAT GIVES ME UNTIL WHAT? 12:00 -- WHAT IS IT NOW? I'M JUST PLAYING WITH YOU HERE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS LESSON SO YOU JUST STAY STEADY RIGHT THERE AT HOME, AND GET READY TO WRITE DOWN SOME THINGS. HERE WE ARE, BRINGING US TODAY. ALL RIGHT. P I WANT TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER DEFINITION, A SPIRITUAL DEFINITION. OF WORLD. A SPIRITUAL -- I GAVE YOU COSMOS, BUT NOW I WANT US TO LOOK AT ANOTHER DEFINITION AND IT'S ON THE SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE NOW, OF THE WORD WORLD. HOW DO WE DEFINE IT? SPIRITUALLY NOW. ALL MAN MADE RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS. ALL MAN MAID RELIGIOUS SYSTE MAN MADE RELIGIOUS SYSTE SYSTEMS AND ALL UNBIBLICAL CARNAL OR LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIO ORGANIZATIONS AND CHURCHES. NOW, YOU NEED TO WRITE ALL OF THAT DOWN. THAT'S IMPORTANT. BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE A SPIRITUAL DEFINITION OF WORLD. WHAT IS BEING WORLDLY LIKE OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE'VE ALREADY SAID? OKAY? WHAT IS THE -- IT'S ALL MEN. WHAT IS -- HOW DO CHRISTIAN VIEWS SOMETHING THAT'S WORLDLY WHEN IT COMES TO INSTITUTIO INSTITUTION S I S AND CHURCHES? MAYBE THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PUT IT. ALL MAN MADE RELIGIOUS SYSTE SYSTEMS AND UNBIBLICAL CARNAL OR LUK LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIO ORGANIZATIONS AND CHURCHES. THAT'S STRONG THERE. LET'S TURN OUR BIBLE S BECAUSE I WANT TO DEAL WITH THE LUKEWARM PART. LET'S TURN OUR BIBLES TO REVELATION S CHAPTER 3. REVELATIONS CHAPTER 3. LET'S SEE WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS. STARTING AT VERSE 14. TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE -- RIGHT. THESE THINGS SAYS THE AMEN, THAT'S JESUS YOU KNOW. THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS. THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD. I KNOW YOUR WORKS THAT YOU ARE NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. I COULD WISH YOU WERE COLD OR HORT SO THE HOT SO THEN BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM, LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT, I WILL VOMIT YOU, SPEW, I WILL VOMIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. BECAUSE YOU STAY I AM RICH, I BECOME WEALTHY AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING AND DON'T KNOW THAT YOU ARE WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR, BLIND AND NAKALLED. NOTICE NOW -- NAKED. NOTICE NOW LUKEWARM, LET'S DEFINE LUKEWARM. SO IMPORTANT. IT'S ON THE SCREEN. LUKEWARM. A LUKEWARM CHURCH, LOR -- IN THE NAME OF JESUS. SAY IT OUT LOUD. SAY THIS OUT LOUD. MAY VIK VICTORY CHRISTIAN CENTER NEVER BECOME A LUKEWARM CHURCH. SEE, JESUS SAYS, I WILL SPEW THE LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS OUT OF MY MOUTH. I WILL VOMIT THEM OUT OF MY MOUTH. AND THAT MEANS THAT THE CHURCHES AS WELL, AND ORGANIZATION S THAT SUPPOSEDLY ARE CHRISTIAN, BUT THEY'RE CARNAL AND WORLDLY, WHAT DOES LUKEWARM MEAN? A LUKEWARM CHURCH IS ONE THAT COMPROMISES WITH THE WORLD. AND RESEMBLES ITS SURROUNDING SOCIETY OR CULTURE. THAT'S THE LUKEWARM CHURCH. A LUKEWARM CHURCH COMPROMISES WITH THE WORLD AND YOU CAN GO IN THAT CHURCH AND IT RESEMBLES JUST LIKE ITS CULTURE OR SOCIETY. MAY WE NEVER BECOME A LUKEWARM CHURCH. NEVER, EVER. IT PROFESSES CHRISTIANITY, BUT IN REALITY, IT IS SPIRITUALLY MESSED UP. IT'S WRETCHED. TOTALLY WRETCHED. LISTEN TO ME. SECULAR MUSIC SHOULD NEVER BE IN THE CHURCH. NEVER, EVER . YET, THERE ARE CHURCHES, THAT PLAY SECULAR MUSIC BUT THEY DANCE IN THE CHURCH, THEY DANCE LIKE IN THE WORLD. AND THEY SLOW DOW DANCE AND ALL OF THESE DANCES THAT THEY DO, IN THE CHURCH! AND YET, THEY PROFESS CHRIST BUT THEN IN REALITY, THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY WRETCHED. AND IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE, GOD WILL VOMIT THEM OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS. AND WE AS CHRISTIAN S, IF WE ARE LUKEWARM, WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER, LUKEWARM MEAN S TEPID, YOU'RE TEPI, DID. VERD, VERY LITTLE WARMTH TO YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ENTHUSIASM ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD, IT'S ALL A SA SAD, IT'S NO FACADE. IT'S NOT REAL. PAUL SAYS YOU HAVE AN APPEARANCE OF GODLINESS, BUT YOU DENY THE POWER THEREOF. THERE'S NO FIRE ON THE INSIDE OF YOU, THERE'S NO LIFE ON THE INSIDE OF YOU. THERE'S NO SDEEL, TH SDAEL, THERE'S ZENAL LSHG ASHGAL, A ZEAL FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD. A DEDESIRE COME OU A DESIRE TO COME OUT FROM THE WORLD. A DESIRE NOT TO BE A PART OF A LUKEWARM CHURCH AS A CHRISTIAN. LOOK AT THE CHURCHES TODAY. YOU HAVE HOMOSEXUAL PASTORS. LESBIAN PASTORS. HOMOSEXUAL BISHOPS. SEE, THAT'S STEPPING INTO A CHURCH THAT RESEMBLE S SOCIETY . RESEMBLE S WHAT THE GOD OF THIS WORLD HAS DONE IN THE EARTH REALM THAT RESEMBLES THE EARTH CULTURE. THAT'S NOT WHERE WE WANT TO LIVE. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU -- I'M GOING TO GET READY TO HAVE YOU WRITE DOWN SOMETHING THAT'S SO STRONG, YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN OFF THE TV. BUT DON'T DO IT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO GIVE YOU NOW. IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IF THAT CHURCH WOULD DENY CHRIST. THAT LUKEWARM CHURCH. THAT CHURCH THAT RESEMBLES THE VALUES OF OUR SOCIETY. THE WORLDLY VALUES. THE CHURCH THAT RESEMBLES SOCIETY. IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THE KING DOCHDOM OF GOD IF THAT CHURCH WOULD DENY GOD COMPLETELY, RATHER TO BRING DAMAGE TO SO MANY LIVES. THOSE CHURCHES ARE DAMAGING PEOPLE. THOSE CHURCHES THAT ARE LUKEWARM, GOD MAY NEVER BECOME LUKEWARM, BY YOUR HEALTH, BY GROUR GRAC YOUR GRACE, MAY WE NEVER BECOME LUKEWARM. THOSE CHURCHES ARE JEOPARDIZING PEOPLE'S ETERNAL DESTINY WITH GOD. CAN YOU IMAGINE SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE MAY GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF BEING IN A LUKEWARM CHURCH? I'M GOING THE SAY THIS, IF YOU'RE IN A LUKEWARM CHURCH, YOU'RE NOT HUNGERING AFTER GOD, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO YOUR SPIRIT. BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS GET OUT OF HERE. THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT. THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS THIS IS NOT REFLECTING THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THIS IS NOT THE CHARACTER OF JESUS. THIS IS NOT MY CHARACTER. SEE THE BIBLE SAYS FOR AS MANY ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE MATURING SONS OF GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD GO, I'LL GUIDE YOU WITH MINE EYE. IF YOU ARE IN TUNE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, HEAR MY VOICE, THEY KNOW MY VOICE, A STRANGER THEY WON'T FOLLOW. IF YOU AREN'T IN TUNE WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOOD AT ALL, WHEN YOU STEP INTO A CHURCH, WOOUL BE ABLE T YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SENSE THE CHARACTER OF THE SPIRIT. AND YOU SIT DOWN THERE AND A LITTLE BIT AND YOU START SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON. THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS GET ON UP OUT OF HERE, BUDDY. I'M TALKING ABOUT IF YOU LOVE GOD, AND DESIRE FO PLEASE GOD . NOW, MAYBE YOU DON'T ENTIRE TO PLEASE GOD. THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY IN AND OF ITSELF IF YOU DON'T DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD. LET'S LOOK AT LUKE CHAPTER 13. I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING HERE. THE BIBLE SAYS IN LUKE CHAPTER 13, LET'S START AT THE 22nd VERSE. NO, I'M NOT TEACHING A FEEL-GOOD MESSAGE, I TOLD YOU THAT LAST WEEK. TEACHING YOU WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD NEED S FOR US TO HEAR BECAUSE THERE IS A SEPARATION TAKING PLACE IN THE SPIRIT WORLD. GOD IS DEVIEDING AND SEPARATING THE FRUIT FROM THE -- HE IS TAKING OUT FROM THE CHURCH AS IT WERE THE REAL CHRISTIANS, THE ALL-IN, SEPARATED LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF THEIR HEART, MIND, BODY, SOUL, WANT TO PLEASE IN ALL THEIR WAYS, HE'S SEPARATING THOSE FROM THOSE WHO LOOK LIKE A CHRISTIAN. AND THEN, IF YOU SAY, HOW ARE YOU DOING IT, HIGHLY FLAVORED AND BLESSED, THEY KNOW ALL THE LANGUAGE SO CALLED. JESUS SAID, HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, YOUR MOUTH IS ONE PLACE AND YOUR HEART IS SOMEPLACE ELSE. HE SAYS, YOUR HEART IS NOT TOWARDS ME. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME ALL OF THIS LIP SERVICE, BUT YOUR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. YOU FIND THAT IN THE GOSPELS. SO GOD LOOKS AT OUR HEARTS. LUKE CHAPTER 13, FOR BIBLE SAYS IN THE 22ndVERDE, AND JESUS WENT THROUG VERSE, AND JESUS WENT THROUGH THE CITIES AND VILLAGES, LET'S SWITCH OVER TO THE AFTERNOONL AMPLIFIED AND MANY OF YOU HAVE AN AMPLIFIED VERSION. VERSE 22, JESUS JOURNEYED ON THROUGH TOWNS AND VILLAGES, TEACHING AND MAKING HIS WAY TOWARDS JEEZ LICHL. S JERUSALEM, AND THEY ASKED HIM, LORD, WOULD ONLY A FEW BE SAVED? WOW, THAT'S A STRONG QUESTION THERE. THAT'S A POWERFUL QUESTION. THAT'S SOMEBODY THAT'S REALLY INTERESTED IN GETTING SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ETERNAL LIFE. AND MAKING IT IN. WILL ONLY A FEW BE SAVED? RESCUED? DELIVERED FROM THE PENALTIES OF THE LAST JUDGMENT? AND MADE PARTAKERS OF THE SALVATION BY CHRIST? WILL ONLY A FEW, LORD? AND HE SAID TO THEM, STRIVE TO ENTER BY THE NARROW DOOR. FORCE YOURSEL YOURSELVES THROUGH IT, FOR MY WILL TELL YOU WILL TRY TO ENTER AND WILL NOT BE ABLE. WHEN ONCE THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE GETS UP AND CLOSES THE DOOR, AND YOU BEGIN TO STAND OUTSIDE AND TO KNOCK AT THE DOOR AGAIN AND AGAIN, SAYING LORD OPEN TO US, HE WILL ANSWER YOU , I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHAT HOUSEHOLD, CERTAINLY NOT MINE, YOU COME FROM. WOW. LORD MAY THAT NEVER BE ME. SAY IT AT HOME. MAY IT NEVER BE ME. THER THEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO SAY, WE ATE AND DRANK IN OUR PRESENCE, AND YOU TAUGHT IN OUR STREETS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE -- WHAT HOUSEHOLD, CERTAINLY NOT MINE, YOU COME FROM, DEPART FROM ME, YOU WRONG DOERS, THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GRINDING OF TEETH WHEN YOU SEE ABRAHAMS AND THE PROFFIT PROPHE PROPHETS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. YOU WILL BE DRIVEN AWAY. AND PEOPLE WILL COME FROM EAST, WEST, AND FROM NORTH AND SOUTH AND SIT DOWN AND FEAST WITH ME AT TABLE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND SO WE WANTED YOU TO SEE HERE, THAT JESUS WAS ASKED A QUESTION. LORD, I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT HERE, SO I'M GOING TO TURN BACK TO IT, LORD, WILL ONLY A FEW BE SAVED? RESCUED? DELIVERED? ETCETERA? WILL ONLY A FEW BE PARTAKERS OF YOUR SALVATION? SO BACK TO THAT LUKEWARM CHURCH THING. IT'S BETTER FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT THEY SHUT THEIR DOORS, DENY CHRIST, SHUT THEIR DOORS THAN PEOPLE IN THERE TEACHING SOMETHING CONTRARY TO GOD IN THE CHURCH BEGINS TO RESEMBLE, YOU KNOW, ITS CULTURAL OR THIS WORLD OR THE SOCIETY THAT WE'RE LIVING IN. AND THEY'RE TEACHING THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE THINK THAT LIVING OUR CULTURE WILL GET YOU TO HEAVEN. ONLY LIVING FOR GOD AND LIVING BY THE CONSTANCE AND PRINCIPLES OF GOD WILL GET US TO HEAVEN. YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD IN MAN. YOU CAN'T. GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE. ALSO SAYS TO THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL, IF YOU THINK IT'S HARD AND LONG TO SESH THE GOD THAT DELIVERED US, BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. HE SAID, IF YOU WANT TO SERVE SOME OTHER GOD, YOU DO IT. BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE'LL SERVE THE LORD. SAY THAT OUT LOUD, FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. LOOK IF YOU YOU ARE BIBLES AT FIRST CORINTH CHANCE CHAPIANS CHAPTER 10. THE BIBLE SAYS HERE, FIRST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10, IT SAYS, HERE, IN THE 5th FIRST, MOST OF THEM, GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED BECAUSE THEIR BODIES WERE SCATTERED IN THE WILDERNESS, NOW, THESE THINGS BECAME OUR EXAMPLE, THESE THINGS BECAME OUR WHAT? EXAMPLE. EXAMPLE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU LOOK AT AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW AND LEARN FROM. BUT THESE THINGS BECAME OUR EXAMPLES . TO THE INTENT THAT WE SHOULD NOT LUST AFTER EVIL THINGS AS THEY ALSO LUSTED AND DON'T BECOME OUR ADULTERS AS SOME OF THEM, THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK AND ROLLED -- NOR LET US COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND ONE DAY 22,000 FELL. NOR LET US TEMPT KRIS, SOME OF THEM ALS$22,000 FELL. NOR LET US TEMPT KRIS, SOME OF THEM ALSO TEFRMEN TEMPTED AND DESTROYED BY SERPENT.,.. WERE DESTROYED BY THE SDOI RER IE DESTROYER. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO THEM AS EXAMPL EXAMPLES AND THEY WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE AGES HAVE COME. GOD SAYS WON'T YOU LEARN? LEARN -- LEARN FROM THE ISRAEL ITSEL ITS, MY ATTITUDE S LIKE SIN, MY ATTITUDE NOT WALKING OUT MY CHARACTER. MY ATTITUDE WARD S BEING CARNA WORD S BEING CARNAL AND FLESHLY AND WORLDLY, ETCETERA. LOOK AT VERSE 21, SAME CHAMENTE E CHAPTER. IT SAYS YOU CAN'T DRINK THE CUP OF THE LORD AND THE CUP OF DEMONS. YOU CANNOT. WHICH CUP ARE YOU GOING TO DRIK O DRINK OF? I'M CHOOSE ING TO DRINK FROM THE CUP OF THE LORD. I DON'T WANT TO DRINK OF THE CUP OF DEMONS. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. I WANT TO BE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THIS WORLD. I WANT TO BE WHOLLY SEPARATED FROM THIS WORLD. I WANT THE WORLD TO HATE ME. CAN THE WORLD HATE ME? CAN THE WORLD HATE ME? DOES THE WORLD HATE ME? DOES THE WORLD HATE YOU? WILL THE WORLD HATE ME? WILL THE WORLD HATE YOU? SHOULD THE WORLD HATE ME? SHOULD THE WORLD HATE ME? SO IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN IT COMES TO THESE DIFFERENT AREAS HERE. LORD MAY WITH NEVER BE A LUKEWARM CHURCH, IN JESUS' NAME. NOW, LET'S MOVE ON. LET'S DEFINE THE WORD HATE . BECAUSE I SAID, CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? DOES THE WORLD HATE YOU? SHOULD THE WORLD HATE YOU? WILL THE WORLD HATE YOU? WE DEFINE WORLD, COSMOS, AND THEN WE LOOKED AT IT SPIRITUALLY WHEN IT COMES TO INSTITUTIONS AND CHURCHES, ETCETERA, BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE, LUKEWARM, ETCETERA. LET'S DEFINE HATE. HATE MEANS TO FEEL INTENSE OR PASSIONATE DISLIKE, INTENSE DISLIKE. PASSIONATE DISLIKE. DO YOU INTENSELY DISLIKE SOMETHING? DO YOU PASSIONATELY DISLIKE SOMETHING? DO YOU INTENSELY DISLIKE SOMETHING IN OUR CULTURE? IN OUR SOCIETY, IN OUR WORLD? DO YOU PASSIONATELY DISLIKE SOMETHING IN OUR CULTURE, IN OUR WORLD , IN OUR SOCIETY? IT MEANS TO FEEL INTENSE OR PASSIONATE DISLIKE FOR SOMEONE. THAT'S HOW THE DEVIL FEELS TOWARDS US. IF WE'RE LIVING FOR GOD PROPERLY, HE HATES US. HE HAS AN INTENSE DISLIKE FOR US AS CHRISTIANS. IF WE'RE -- LISTEN NOW, DID WE'RE LIVING FOR GOD. IF YEA WE'RE NOT COMPROMISING, IF WE DON'T HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE WORLD AND TRYING TO HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE CHURCH. IF WE HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE WORLD, THE DEVIL SAYS, OH, HE'S FINE. SHE'S FINE. NO PROBLEM. AND IF YOU'VE GOT BOTH FEET IN THE WORLD AND CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN, DEFINITELY, THEY'RE FINE. THEY'RE FINE. THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG. IT'S THE CHRISTIAN THAT WANTS TO LIVE FOR GOD, WITH ALL OF THEIR HEART, MIND, SOUL AND SPIRIT, THAT'S DANGEROUS. THE CHRISTIAN THAT PRAYS IS DANGEROUS. THE CHRISTIAN THAT STUDIES THE WORD IS DANGEROUS, THE CHRISTIAN THAT LEARNS THEIR AUTHORITY AND OPERATES FROM THEIR AUTHORITY IS DANGEROUS TO THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT I SHOULDN'T SAY. IT MEANS TO FEEL INTENSE OR PASSIONATE DISLIKE FOR SOMEONE, HAVE A STRONG A VERSION TO SOMETHING. A VERSION, I CAN'T STAND THAT. IT MEANS TO EXPRESS STRONG DISLIKE FOR, TO CRITICIZE OR ABUSE. AS A NOUN, IT MEAN S IT DENOTES HOSTILE ACTIONS, MOTIVATED BY INTENSE DISLIKE OR PREJUDICE. HOSTILE ACTIONS MOTIVATED BY INTENSE DISLIKE OR PREJUDICE. THE ENEMY HAS TAKEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE HOSTILE ACTION S, MOTIVATED BY HIS, SATAN'S, DISLIKE FOR US. AND THE BIBLE SAYS, IN FIRST PETER 5 VRMENT 8, B 8. HE JUST CAN'T COME IN AND DEVOUR YOU, YOU HAVE TO OPEN UP THE DOOR, YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM ACCESS, YOU HAVE TO WELCOME HIM IN. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THE DOOR SHUT, . IF YO BETTER TO GO INTO HEAVEN WITH ONE EYE THAN TO HELL WITH TWO. GO INTO HEAVEN WITH ONE HAND THAN TO HELL TW W TWO. CUT IT OFF. CUT IT OFF! BACK ON THE SCREEN, PLEASE. CUT IT OFF. THE DEVIL HATES YOU IF YOU'RE LIVING FOR GOD. AND HE HAS HOSTILE ACTION S, THAT'S WHY YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW YOUR AUTHORITY, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE POSITIVE BLOOD. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD. BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, NO -- AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER. THE GATING OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE CHURCH. AND AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU HAVE TO STAND UP WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE HOSTILE ACTIONS THROUGH PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS, AND YOU HAVE TO BIND THE WORK OF THE WORK, THE PERSON THAT'S NOT YOUR ENEMY, BUT THE SPIRIT OPERATES THROUGH PEOPLE. AND YOU HAVE TO BIND THE SPIRIT THAT OPERATES THROUGH PEOPLE AGAINST YOU. CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? DOES IT HATE YOU? WILL IT HATE YOU? SHOULD IT HATE YOU? THE ANSWER SHOULD BE YES, YES, YES, YES. YOU OUGHT TO BE LIVING IN SUCH A WAY, UNGODLY, UNBELIEVERS, THAT CARNAL CHRISTIAN, CHURCH-GOING CHRISTIANS, DON'T LIKE YOU. THEY JUST DON'T LIKE YOU. YOU KNOW, TO BE A CHRISTIAN. I DON'T THINK YOU -- THAT'S GOING TOO FAR. TAKING ALL OF THE FUN OUT OF LIFE. SO THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO THINK. THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MOSES, YOU KNOW, LET'S LOOK AT HEBREWS CHAPTER 11. FOR JUST A MOMENT HERE. REAL QUICKLY. HEBREWS 11. THE BIBLE SAYS IN VERSE 25, THAT MOSES CHOSE RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD THAN TO ENJOY THE PASSING PLEASURES OF SIN . HE CHOOSES RATHER TO SUFFER WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD THAN TO CHOOSE AND TO ENJOY THE PASSING PLEASURES OF SIN. CARNAL CHRISTIANS, THE WORLD UNBELIEVERS, WE OUGHT TO HAVE AN A VERSION. AN INTENSE PASSIONATE DISLIKE, BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST NOT LIKE THEM. YOU'RE NOT LIKE THEM. HOW CAN YOU BE? AND YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE SON SOF GOD INTO YOU OF GOD. HOW CAN YOU BE LIKE THE WORLD? UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT'S ON THE INSIDE OF YOU. AND YOU CHOOSE TO GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SUBDUE AND DISCIPLINE YOUR FLESH AND YOUR MIND AND YOU WON'T CUT OFF PEOPLE THAT YOU NEED TO CUT YOURSELF OFF FROM. HALLELUJAH. AH THE GREEK WORD FOR HATE IS -- I'M NOT A GREEK SCHOLAR, BUT IT'S SPELLED MISEO. IT MEANS TO DETEST. TO PERSECUTE. DOES THE WORLD DETEST YOU? DOES THE WORLD PERSECUTE YOU ? SHOULD IT? WILL IT? DOES IT? CAN IT? IT MEANS MALICIOUS AND UNJUS FITIFYABLE FEELINGS TOWARD S OTHERS. MALICIOUS FEELINGS FOR OTHERS. UNJUSTIFYABLE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WHY YOU'RE TATTACKING ME, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WHY YOU'RE TALKING AGAINST ME, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE WHY YOU'RE TREATING ME THIS WAY. I MEAN, IT'S JUST NO RATIONAL TO IT, THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE, THIS PERSON BELONGS TO SATAN. THIS PERSON IS NOT BORN AGAIN. THIS PERSON IS OF THIS WORLD. AND YOU ARE OVER HERE, YOU'RE IN IT, BUT YOU'RE NOT OF IT. SO IT'S UNJUSTIFYABLE FEELINGS. IT'S HATRED. WHETHER IT'S TOWARDS THE INNOCENT OR BY MUTUAL ANIMOSITY. HATRED . LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 10 IN THE 22nd VERSE, MATTHEW 10 VERSE 2 #2SHGS THEY'RE PUT ON THE SCREEN. AND YOU WILL BE HATED, WE JUST GAVE YOU ALL OF THOSE DEFINITIONS. YOU WILL BE PERSECUTED. MALICIOUSLY TREATED. YOU WILL BE HATED BY ALL FOR MY NAME SAKE. BUT HE WHO EBB DURS T ENDURES TO THE ENDS. THIS IS THE PERIOD WE HAVE ENTERED TO. DO YOU UNDERSTAND AROUND THE GROVE, PEOPLE ARE BEING HATED BECAUSE THEY'RE CHRISTIAN S? YOU LISTEN TO THE MEDIA, YOU'LL HEAR A DISLIKE, A MALICIOUS TONE TOWARDS CHRISTIANS? DMOI THA DO YOU KNOW THAT? WE'RE IN THAT AGE RIGHT NOW . AND IF YOU'RE NOT BEING HATED, PERSECUTED, AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE INTENSE DISLIKE TOWARDS YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, SOMETHING IS WRONG. WITH YOUR WALK WITH GOD. BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, WE'RE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WE'RE THE SOL SALT OF THE EARTH. WE'RE THE LIGHT, RIGHT? NOW, SO HE SAYS, YOU'LL BE HATED. BY ALL. FOR MY NAME SAKE. BECAUSE YOU'RE REPRESENTING ME. YOU'RE CARRYING MY NAME. YOU ARE IN MY KINGDOM. YOU ARE MY SOWN MY SON, YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER. YOUR FATHER IS THE DEVIL OR THE DEVIL IS NOT MY FATHER. I'VE COME OUT OF THAT KINGDOM. THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. WHEN I SAID JESUS COME INTO MY LIFE, GOD DELIVERED ME FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. AND PLACED ME INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, YOUR SON. MY FATHER IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. MY FATHER IS THE GOD AND FATHER, MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. HE'S MY FATHER. AND GOD SAID TO APOSTLE PAUL, IF WE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, THAT GOD WILL BE A FATHER TO US. WHAT'S AMONG THEM? WHAT DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS HAVE TO DO WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? WHAT DOES LIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH DARKNESS? WHAT DOES CHRIST HAVE TO DOLE DO WITH THE DEVI DO WITH THE DEVIL? WHAT? NOTHING. COME OUT OF THEM AND I'LL BE A FATHER TO YOU, YOU'LL BE MY SOONS AND YOU'LL B SONS AND MY DAUGHTERS. LUKE CHAPTER 6 IN THE 22nd VERSE AND THEN WE'LL LOOK AT THE 27th VERSE AS WELL. JESUS SAID BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN MET MEN HATE YOU. YOU'RE BLETE E BLESSED WHEN PEOPLE HATE YOU. PEOPLE TALK AGAINST ME. AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND ME. HOW CAN I BE BLESSED? THAT WORD BLESSED MEANS HAPPY. IT MEANS TO BE ENVIED. I MEANS TO BE -- BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN MEN HATE YOU. AND WHEN THEY EXCLUDE YOU, AND THEY RE-- AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL FOR THE SAKE OF MAN'S SAKE. WOW, ISN'T THAT EXCITING? THE BIBLE EVEN TELLS US THAT WE'RE OUGHT TO LEAP FOR JOY WHEN WE'RE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. I'VE BEEN IN THAT SITUATION BEFORE. WHERE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY IN ME AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY LEAP IN ME BECAUSE MY WALK WITH GOD WASN'T WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WHEN I TOOK TIME AND SPENT TIME WITH THE LORD, FEEDING MY SPIRIT THE WORD OF GOD, THEN THE NEXT TIME I WAS PERSECUTED FOR RIGHT COURTHOUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS, SAY I HAVE JOY IN MY SOUL, I WAS BEING PERSECUTED FOR HIS NAME SAE SAKE. FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE AND JESUS WAS LIVING BIG ON THE INSIDE OF ME, I COULD HEAR IT BUT NOT FEEL IT IN ME. LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 22 27. I SAY TO YOU, WHO HEAR, ARE YOU HEARING THIS MORNING? I SAY TO YOU WHO HEAR, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU. SEE, WE'RE CHRISTIANS. WE DON'T EYE FOR AN EYE AND TOOTH FOR A TOOTH. WE DON'T -- WE DON'T SEE WHO GETS THE LAST LAUGH. NEVER DID THAT TO ME. HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER DONE IT, I TELL YOU, HIS DAY IS COMING. NO. YOU DO GOOD N TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU. 28th VERSE. BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SPITEFULLY USE YOU. SEE, WE'RE CHRISTIANS. JESUS SAID IT'S COMING AT YOU, MAN, IT'S COMING TOWARDS YOU. AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO. YOU MRES THE BLESS THEM. YOU DON'T KRURS. YO CURSE. YOU DO GOOD TO THEM. WHY? YOU'RE CHRISTIANS. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS SOMETHING TO WORK WITH, TO TURN THEIR LIVES AROUNDMENT TURN THEIR HEAR MEN, TURN THEIR HEARTS TOWARD S GOD. WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE HATED? OKAY. I'VE BEEN GIVING YOU ANSWERS ALL ALONG, BUT WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE HATED? I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU EIGHT OR NINE THINGS VERY QUICKLY HERE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. SO I TOLD YOU EARLIER, GET READY TO WRITE DOWN A LOT OF THINGS. NUMBER ONE, WE SHOULD BE HATED BECAUSE WE'RE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT. FUNDSMENTALL A MENMENTALLY DIFFERENT THAN UNBELIEVEBELIEVERS IN THE WORLD. WE'RE BORN AGAIN. REMEMBER, SECOND CORINTHIANS 5-17. ALL THINGS PASS AWAY, ALL THINGS HAVE TO COME A NEW. YOU ARE OF GOD. YOU ARE OF GOD. THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT HOW GOD'S NATURE LIV LIVES ON THE INSIDE OF US, WE'RE PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE. SEE, WE'RE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT. FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT LIKE CANE AND ABLE, DIFFERENT. ABLE WANTEDED TO DO I E DO IT. AND GOD SAID TO ABLE, HEY, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AND GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, SIN LIES AT THE DOOR. GET IT RIGHT. THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCY. ALL OF OUR LIVES, HE GIVES US MERCY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. GIVING US OPPORTUNITIES TO GET IT RIGHT. BECAUSE HE'S NOT WILLING TO ANY SHOULD PERISH, ALL SHOULD COME TO ETERNITY. GOD LOVES YOU. GOD CARES ABOUT YOU. IF YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST, I NEED YOU TO CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN, 704-602-601PHON 704-8638. SOMEBODY WILL PRAY YOU ABOUT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JEFFERSON COUNT JESUS CHRIST. GOD LOVES YOU, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. I DON'T CARE HOW LONG YOU DID IT. GOD LOVES YOU . AND HE WANTS YOU TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM. HE WANTS TO USE YOU, AND BLESS YOU, HE WANTS TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM. SO NUMBER ONE, WE'RE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT. NUMBER TWO, WE'RE COMMITTED TOTALLY TO JESUS. COMMIT TOTALLY TO JESUS, WE DON'T CONFORM THIS THIS WORLD, THE WORLD HATES US. DON'T BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD . BE TRANSFORMED BY YOUR MIND. THE WORLD HATES US, BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO SHAPE YOU A CERTAIN WAY. AND YOU WON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SHAPED. THE WORLD HAS A CERTAIN MOLD THAT IT WANTS YOU TO BECOME A PART OF AND TO ALLOW -- TO SHAPE YOU AND DESIGN YOU AND MAKE YOU AND YOU WON'T GET IN THERE. SO IT HATES YOU. CAN YOU? BE HATED? YOU SHOULD BE HATED. NUMBER THREE. BECAUSE OUR VALUES, OUR STANDAR STANDARDS AND OUR DIRECTIONS, ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THE WORLD. YOUR VALUES ARE DIFFERENT. OUR VALUES ARE BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD. OUR STANDARDS ARE DIFFERENT. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS. YOU KNOW, IT JUST HIT ME HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, YOU ARE LIVE STREAMING, WHY YOU GOT ON A SUIT? YOU COULD BE CASUAL. YOU KNOW? SAID SOMETHING TO ME THE OTHER DAY, TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING, SHE SAID WHAT? EVEN WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WENT INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE ALL BY HIMSELF, JUST HE AND GO AHEAD, HE WAS DECKED OUT. -- HE AND GOD, HE WAS DECKED OUT. LOOK AT THE WORLD. DON'T GO TO CHURCH DECKED OUT. BUT YOU GO TO A CLUB DECK ED OUT. GOT YOUR BEST ON. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO BE WITH THE GOVERNOR, BE WITH THE MAYOR, OR THE PRESIDENT, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT ON YOUR BEST CLOTHES. BUT THE WORLD WANTS TO SHAPE US. BUT IT HATES US BECAUSE WE WON'T CON FRFORM. WE HAVE DIFRNTS VALUES, W DIFFERENT VALU VALUES AND STANDARDS, WE'RE GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND THAT DIRECTION IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE WORLD. ARE YOU HEARING? NUMBER FOUR. WE DON'T HAVE ANY CLOSE OR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN SATAN'S WORLD. I HOPE THAT'S TRUE. I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE IN SATAN'S WORLD. I HOPE YOU DON'T -- YOUR BEST FRIEND IS NOT AN UNSAVED PERSON. NOT A CARNAL CHRISTIAN. SEE, THE WORLD SHOULD HATE YOU BECAUSE THERE IS NO CLOSE OR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN SATAN'S WORLD. PERIOD. ACTS CHAPTER 4 VERSE 23, LOOK AT HAVE VERY QUICKLY, PLEASE. THE BIBLE SAYS, IN BEING LET GO, THOSE WERE THE APOSTLES, THEY WERE LET GO. THEY HATED THE APOSTLES. AND THE ROGERS FOLKS OF OUR DAY, THEY OUGHT TO HATE US, THE TRUE ALL IN, REAL CHRISTIANS, THEY OUGHT TO HATE YOU. THEY HATED JESUS, THEY HATED ME, THEY'RE GOING TO HATE YOU. LET ME TELL YOU THIS. YOU'VE GOT TO BE STRONG TO BE A CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT FOR WEAK PEOPLE. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE DIFFERENT F. YOU'R DIFFERENT. YOU LIVE DIFFERENTLY, YOU ACT DIFFERENTLY, YOUR STANDARDS ARE DIFFERENT, YOUR VALUES ARE DIFFERENT, YOUR FRIENDS ARE DIFFERENT. YOUR WORLDS ARE DIFFERENT. YOUR DRESS, YOUR APPAREL, YOUR ATTIRE IS DIFFERENT. AND THE WORLD HATES YOU CHLTH AN. AND SO THEY WERE PERSECUTED. BEING LET GO, THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN COMPANIONS. SEE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE INTIMATE RELATIONSHI RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE THAT'S IN THE WORLD. PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T SERVE GOD AND KNOW GOD. AND YET, WE HAVE CHRISTIANS, ALWAYS TRYING TO BE CLOSE TO SOMEBODY WHO'S NOT SAVED, ALWAYS WANTS TO HAVE A RUNNING PARTNER WITH SOMEBODY THAT DOESN'T KNOW GOD. HOW CAN TWO WALK TOGETHER EXCEPT TO BE AGREED? LISTEN IS TH BLESSED IS THE MAN -- STANDAR BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD AND THE LAW MEDITATE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT. THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T BE A COMPANION WITH THE WICKED, EVIL PERSON. SO THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN COMPANIONS. YOU OUGHT TO HAVE YOUR OWN COMPANY. WHEN PETER GOT OUT OF PRISON, THE BIBLE SAYS HE WENT TO THE HOUSE WHERE THERE WAS A PRAYER MEETING. SEE, HE KNEW WHO HIS COMPANY WAS. HE KNEW WHO HIS COMPANIO COMPANIONS WERE. HE KNEW WHERE HE BELONGED. HE KNEW WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO FIT IN. HE KNEW. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIT IN? AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU DON'T FIT IN THE WORLD. YOU'RE TRYING. YOU'RE PRETENDING. IT'S A FACADE, ON THE INSIDE, YOU FEEL LIKE I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS. I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LISTENING TO THIS. I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TALKING THIS WAY. LISTEN. IF YOU JUST KEEP VIOLATING YOUR INSIDES, YOU'LL COME TO I APPOINT WHERE YOUR HEART IS HARDEN. AND IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO GET BACK. DON'T GET TO THAT POINT. FOLLOW YOUR SPIRIT. AND SO, THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN COME PAPANIONS AND PETER WENT TO THE PRAYER MEETING, HE KNEW WHERE TO GO, MAN, AND WE OUGHT TO KNOW WHER WHO OUR COME PAN YAPANIONS ARE, BORN AGAIN. IF YOU'RE TONGUE TALKING CHRISTIAN. THE BIBLE BELIEVER, BIBLE TALKING, ACTING, CHRISTIANS. NONE COMPROMISING. IN THE NAME OF JESUS. EVERYBODY SAY AMEN. AMEN. SAY AMEN AT HOME. AMEN. AL LOUI HALLELUJAH! NUMBER 5. WE'RE SOUTH IN LIGHT, WE'RE SOUGHT IN LIGHT. MATTHEW VERS. SXP THEN RIGHT DOWN EPHESIANS, HOW WE'RE THE LIGHT AND HOW WE WILL PROVE THE DARKNESS. WE WILL PROVE THE DARKNESS. IF YOU READ CHAPTE JOHN CHAPTER 3, YOU VERS READ VERSES 18 AND 19, THE THING THAT'S GOING TO JUDGE PEOPLE IS THEY LOVE DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT. THAT'S ALSO IN JOHN CHAPTER 1. THAT IN HIM WAS LIFE AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. BUT THEY WOULDN'T RECEIVE IT. THEY WOULDN'T RECEIVE IT. HE WAS TOO MUCH LIGHT, THEY WOULDN'T RECEIVE IT. THEY LOVED THE DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT. YOUR LIGHT AS A CHRISTIAN IS SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE AND BRING CONVICTION TO THE DARKNESS. SO NUMBER SIX. WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE HATE SND BECAUSE WE'RE STRANGE STRANGERS IN BILL GRIMES PILGRIMS, OUR EYES ARE ON HEAVEN. NUMBER 7, WE ARE HATED BECAUSE WE'RE PREACHERS OF REPENTANCE. JESUS CAME ON THE SCENE AND HE SAID, REPENT, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND, REPENT! THAT'S WHAT JOHN THE BAPTIST PREACHED. REPENT. WE OUGHT TO BE PREACHING, REPENT. CHANGE YOUR WAYS. AMEND YOUR THINKING, AMEND YOUR WAYS, CHANGE YOUR THINKING, YOUR ATTITUDE, REPENT. THE WORLD HATES US BECAUSE WE SAY, HEY, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO, MAN, THAT'S NOT HOW WE LIVE, COUNT ME OUT. THE BIBLE SAYS, SAID, HEY, GOD, YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER. THEY HATE THAT, THEY HATE THAT, YOU PREACH REPENTANCE, YOU PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE WORLD IS SAYING, LIVE THE WAY YOU WANT TO LIVE, NOBODY HAS A RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. WHATEVER MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD, DO IT, THE WORLD TELLS YOU SECULAR HUMANISM. NO. SITUATIO SITUATIONAL ETHICS, LIE WHEN YOU HAVE TO LIE. DO WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO TO GET OUT OF WHATEVER. MAYBE YOU COME PREACHING REPENTANCE AND RIGHTEOUS, THE WORLD HATES THAT. AMEN. AND THEN, NUMBER 8, WE REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. WE REFUSE IT. JEZ SAYS I'M THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT. AND THE NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY ME. HE'S OUR EXAMPLE . WE REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. FIRST CONTRIBUTE CHAN CORINTHIANS. ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD. FO WE REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. SAY IT OUT LOUD. I REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. I DON'T HEAR YOU. I KNOW I CAN'T, BUT SAY IT OUT LOUD. I REFUSE TO COMPROMISE! SO THE DEVIL WANTS COMPROMISE. WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE IN SOME SOMETIME OR ANOTHER, BUT WE OUGHT TO HATE IT AND SAY I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN BY THE HELP OF THE LORD. I'LL STAND UP FOR GOD AND DO WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO IN JESUS AI NAME. SAY IT AGAIN, I WILL NOT COMPROMISE. I REFUSE TO COMPROMISE. SO WE DON'T WANT TO COMPROMISE. AND THEN LASTLY, NUMBER NINE, THE WORLD HATES US BECAUSE WE CONDEMN THE WORLD'S SIN. AND WE DENOUNCE IMMORALITY AND INJUJUSTICE. JOHN 7. 7. THE WORLD CAN'T HATE YOU, .IT BACK ON THE SCREEN, JOHN 7 VERSE 7. THE WORLD CANNOT HATE YOU. IT SAYS BUT IT HATES ME. AND THEN HE SAYS, IT HATES ME AND JOHN 7. VMENT 7, VRMENT IT HATES ME BECAUSE I TESTIFY THAT ITS WORKS ARE EVIL. AND IN OTHER WORDS, I CONDEMN THE WORLD'S SIN AND I DENOUNCE ITS IMMORALITY AND INJUSTICES. JESUS SAYS, HE SAYS, HEY, YOU THAT ARE WITHOUT SIN, YOU CAST THE FIRST SFOE STONE. JUST INJUSTTICE, YOU WANT TO STONE THIS WOMAN TO DEATH, WHERE'S THE MAN? AND THEN WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN LIFE? THROW YOUR OWN ROCKS DOWN, IF YOU'VE NEVER SINNED. KEEP IT IN YOUR HANDS, HE SAYS. HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE, THEY ALL DROPPED THE ROCKS. JESUS CONDEMNED INJUSTICES. HE CONDEMNED THE WORLD'S WAY OF LIVING. HE SAYS, THE WORLD -- THEY CAN'T BE -- BECAUSE I TESTIFY OF IT. THAT ITS DEEDS ARE WICKED AND EVIL AND RIGHT COURTHOUSE. AME RIGHTEOUS. WE'RE ALMOST DONE. WRITE A FEW THINGS DOWN. WHEN OUR ALLEGIANCE IS TO CHRIST, WE CAN'T BE NEUTRAL OR SILENT WITH RESPECT TO THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. WHEN OUR ALLEGIANCE IS TO CHRIST, IN OTHER WORDS, WHO IS YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO? WHO HAS YOUR HEART? WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING ? WHEN OUR ALLEGIANCE IS TO CHRIST, WE CAN'T BE NEUTRAL. WITH RESPECT TO THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. WE CAN'T BE SILENT WITH RESPECT TO THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. THAT'S ONE THING ABOUT MY SON. HE'S IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW, BUT MAN, HE WAS LIVING, BOY, THAT'S WICKED, BOY, THAT'S UNGODLY, BOY, THAT'S NOT RIGHT. THAT'S NOT THE WAY CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE. THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK. HE WASN'T NEUTRAL, MAN, HE WASN'T NEUTRAL REL TOIATIVE TO THE WORLD'S DARKENS, HE WASN'T SIELNESS RELATIVE TO THE -- SILENT RELATIVE TO THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. YOU'VE GOT TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS. LOOK AT ISAIAH CHAP TE ETER 5 VERSE 20. WOE IS IT WHEN YOU CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL. LET'S LOOK AT THAT. ISAIAH CHAPTER 5. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT YOU TO HAVE HERE. ISAIAH CHAPTER 5 VERSE 20. WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND EVIL FOR GOOD. WHO PUT WI BITTER FOR SWEET AND BITTER FOR SWEET. TWO EXAMPLES OF THE THAT IN OURAL CULTURE TODAY, HOME SEXUAL ASSAULT OSEXUALITY. HOMOSEXUALITY, OUR CULTURE SAYS IT'S AN ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE THAT SHOULD BE OPENLY AND WIDELY ACCEPTED. FOR THOSE OF US THA THERE ARE OPPONENTS TO IT, WHAT DO WE CALL? WE'RE CALLED BIGOTS. WHO PERPETUATE OPPRESSIVE PREJUDICE. YOU CALL ME? EVIL GOOD. AND GOOD EVIL. AND THEN OTHER EXAMPLE WAS ABORTION. ABORTION. PROABORTIONISTS, THEY ARE CALLED SENSITIVE. AND COMMITTED. TO THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN. BUT ABORTION IS EVIL. BUT IF YOU ARE PROABORTION, YOU'RE CALLE EED SENSE TIFF TO THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN -- SENSITIVE TO THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN. BUT FOR US OPPONENTS, WE'RE CALLED EXTREMISTS. AND RELIGIOUS FA GNAT UEB NANATICS. WE'RE GOT TO UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE CANNOT BE NEUTRAL, PUT THAT BACK ON THE SCREEN, WE CAN'T BE NEUTRAL, GO BACK TO THAT POINT THERE, WE CAN'T BE NEUTRAL OR SILENT WITH RESPECT TO THE WORLD'S DARKNESS. THE WORLD SAYS HOM HOMOSEXUALITY SHOULD BE WIDELY ACCEPTED. THEY ADVOCATE FOR THAT. BUT OVER HERE, IF WE'RE AGAINST IT, BECAUSE IT'S EVIL, WE'RE CALLED ALL KINDS OF NAMES. INTOLERANT, BIGOTS AND PREJUDICE AND ALL KINDS OF THINGS. SAME THING WITH ABORTION. ALL RIGHT. NOW, LET'S MOVE ON. P P WRITE THIS STATEMENT DOWN. THERE'S TWO SCRIPTURES THAT I WANT YOU TO WRITE DOWN, HEBREWS VERSE 1 CHAPTER 9. LOOK IT UP AT YOUR LEISURE, AND PSALM 94 VERSE 16. AND IT GOES ALONG WITH YOU CAN'T BE NEUTRAL. YOU CAN'T BE SILENT. WRITE THIS DOWN, PLEASE. CHRISTIANS LOVE EVERYBODY. IN YOUR HEART, YOU LOVE EVERYBODY. WE LOVE EVERYBODY, JUST LIKE GOD. WE ATTEMPT TO WIN THEM TO CHRIST WITH OUR LIFESTYLE, OUR COMPASSION AND OUR MESSAGE. CHRISTIANS, WE DON'T HATE THE WORLD. WE'RE JUST NOT OF THE WORLD. WE WANT PEOPLE SAVED. THE BIBLE CALLS US AMBASSADORS TO CHRIST. WE'RE THE LIGHT. HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER? WE'RE THE ONES SINNED? WE'VE BEEN GIVINEN THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, TO PULL THE WORLD TO CHRIST. WE DON'T HATE THE WORLD. WE JUST DON'T AGREE WITH THE WORLD. REMEMBER, COSMOS? THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD, THE VAST SYSTEMS OF THE WORLD, THE DEVIL RUL RULES AND PROMOTES. WRITE THIS STATEMENT DOWN. OUR SURFE SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF THE WORLD IS OUR GLORY. OUR SUFFERING AT THE HANDS OF THE WORLD IS OUR GLORY. LOOK AT ROMANS CHAPTER 8 VERSE 18. ROMANS 8 VERSE 18, THE BIBLE SAYS FOR I CONSIDER THAT THE SUFFER ININGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPAREED WITH THE GLORY THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN US. WITH THE GLORY THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN US. MAN, PAUL -- PAUL, HE WROTE THE BOOK OF ROMANS, MAN, HE KNEWIN IN ABOUTIC TOING BLOWS FROM THE DEVIL AND BEING PERSECUTED BY RELIGIOUS FOLKS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, HE KNEW ABOUT IT, LOOK, THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME, THEY'RE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN US. DON'T YOU DARE MISS HEAVEN. MAN, THERE'S SOME GLORY, TAKE IT FOR JESUS SAKE HERE, THERE'S THE LORD IN HEAVEN. MAN, THE GLORY OF HEAVEN. THE GLORY THAT SHALL BE REVEALED IN US. HALLELUJAH! YOU CAN ALSO LOOK AT SECOND CORINTHIAN CHAPTER 4, LOOK AT THAT FOR A MOMENT, IN VERSES 7 AND 18. SECOND CORINTHIANS 4, 17 AND 18, THE BIBLE SAYS THESE WORDS. FOR OUR LIGHT AFFLICTION, WHICH IS BLESSED FOR A MOMENT IS WORKING FOR US A FAR MORE COMPETING AND ETERNAL WEIGH WAY OF GLORY. YOU GO THROUGH THIS AND IT'S WORKING A FAR MORE EXCEEDIN INING AN ETERNAL WAY TO GLORY, WHILE YOU LOOK NOT T AT THE THINGS THAT ARE SEEN, THAT'S THE NEXT VERSE, BUT TH AT THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT SEEN, FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE SEEN ARE TI TEMPORARY WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL. WHILE WE DON'T LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT ARE SEEN. MAP MAN, THERE'S FWLOR RI AWAITING YOU -- GLOSH RI AWAITIN, - -- GLORY, AWAITING YOU, THERE'S A CROWN THAT IS AWAITING HIM. TO ALL OF US THAT LOVE HI. THERE'S LOR LORDS IN HEAVEN, THERE'S GLORY, THERE'S BLESSING. YOU GET THROUGH THIS . CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? DOES THE WORLD HATE YOU? SHOULD THE WORLD HATE YOU? WILL THE WORLD HATE YOU? YES, YES, YES. YOU GET THROUGH IT. MAN, NOTHING TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY SHALL BE REVEALED IN YOU. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE WITH THIS THOUGHT. P WHY WOULDN'T THE WORLD HATE US? WHY WOULD NOT THE WORLD HATE US? WHY WOULDN'T THE WORLD HATE US ? JUST WHY? I MEAN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY ANSWER TO THAT. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS ONE HERE. OBVIOU BECAUSE OF FEAR. THE WORLD WILL NOT HATE ROBYN GOOL, THE MINISTER, MS. GOOL GOOL, WILL NOT HATE US BECAUSE OF FEAR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LET'S LOOK AT SOME THINGS HERE, IN JOHN CHAPTER 7. START THERE . WHAT AM I SAYING? YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THAT YOU'RE SO AFRAID TO STAND UP FOR GOD UNTIL THE WORLD WILL NEVER HATE YOU, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. FEAR HAS YOU SO BOUND UNTIL NOBODY REALLY KNOWS YOUR TRUE CONVICTIONS. YOU NEVER OPEN YOUR MOUTH, YOU NEVER TAKE YOUR STANCE. YOU JUST STAY RIGHT THERE AND LISTEN TO IT, RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN AND YES, BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO MOVE, YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK YOU'RE DOIN DIFFERENT, YOU TONIGHT WANT PEOPLE TO THIN YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE. FEAR WILL ALLOW PEOPLE NOT TO HATE YOU, FEAR CRIPPLES YOU FROM SHOWING YOURSELF AS A CHRISTIAN. AND JOHN CHAPTER 7, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN THE 13th VERSE, LET'S START AT VERSE 10. BUT WHEN HIS BROTHERS HAD GONE UP AND JESUS ALSO WENT UP TO THE FEAST, NOT OPENLY, BUT AS IT WERE IN SECRET. THEN THE JEWS SAW HIM AND SAYS, WHERE'S JESUS, AND THERE WAS MUCH COMPLAINING AMONG THE PEOPLE CONCERNING HIM, SOME SAID HE'S GOOD. OTHERS SAYS, NO, ON THE CONTRARY, HE DECEIVES THE PEOPLE, HOWEVER, NO ONE SPOKE OPENLY OF HIM FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS. IS THAT YOU? WHEN YOU GO BACK TO WORK? HAS THAT BEEN YOU? WHEN YOU WERE AT WORK? AND THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL HAVE YOUR JOB? WAS THAT YOU? YOU DON'T SPEAK OPENLY OF HIM FOR FEAR OF YOUR COWORKERS? FOR FEAR OF WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK OF YOU AND SAY? SO THEY'LL NEVER HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. YOU'RE TOO AFRAID. TO TESTIFY THAT THEIR DEEDS ARE EVIL. YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO PREACH RIGHT COURTHOUSENESS AND R RIGHTEOUSNESS AND REPENTANCE IN GOOD. I DON'T LISTEN, I DON'T TALK THAT WAY AND SO I'M OUT. I'M A CHRISTIAN. SO THEY WOULDN'T SPEAK OPENLY OF JESUS BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE JEWS. LET'S LOOK AT CHAPTER 9 HERE. THE BIBLE SAYS IN CHAPTER 9, THIS IS WHERE JESUS OPENS UP THE EYES OF THE BLIND MAN, BLIND FROM BIRTH, AND THE DISCIPLES ASKED -- NEITHER ONE SINNED. LET ME WORK THE WORKS OF MY FATHER. AND HE OPENED THE MAN'S BLIND MAN'S EYES, RIGHT? AND SO THAT SPREAD ALL ALONG THE COMMUNITY AND THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE GOT INVOLVED AND THEY CALLED THEIR PARENTS. THE BLIND MAN'S PARENTS, THEY WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING. BUT THE JEWS DID NOT BELIEVE CONCERNING HIM, THAT HE HAD BEEN BLIND AND RECEIVED HIS SIGHT UNTIL THEY CALLED THE PARENTS OF HIM WHO HAD RECEIVED HIS SIGHT. AND THEY ASKED THEM, SAYING, IS THIS YOUR SON? WHO YOU SAY WAS BORN BLIND? HOW THEN DOES HE NOW SEE? HIS PARENTS ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, WE KNOW THIS IS OUR SON AND THAT HE WAS BORN BLIND BUT BY WHAT MEANS HE NOW SEES, WE DON'T KNOW. OR WHO OPENS HIS EYES, WE DON'T KNOW. HE IS OF AGE, ASK HIM. HE WILL SPEAK FOR HIMSELF. HIS PARENTS SAID THESE THINGS BECAUSE, WHY THEY SAY THAT? BECAUSE. THEY FEARED THE JEWS. FOR THE JEWS HAD AGREED ALREADY THAT IF ANYONE CONFESSED THAT HE WAS CHRIST, HE WILL BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE. CAN THE WORLD HATE YOU? SHOULD IT HATE YOU? WILL IT HATE YOU? DOES IT HATE YOU? IT WON'T IF YOU'RE AFRAID. YOU'RE AFRAID THAT YOU'RE GOING TO -- YOU'RE GOING TO BE PERSECUTED. YOU'RE GOING TO BE OSTRACIZED. YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUT OUT OF SOMETHING. YOU WON BUT INVITED TO SOMETHING. YOU HAVE TO LIVE SEPARATED FROM YOUR COWORKERS OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T LOVE YOUR FAMILY MORE THAN GOD. YOU'VE GOT TO STAND UP WITH YOUR OWN FAMILY. STAND UP. YOU'RE WELCOME HERE, BUT NOT JUST CIGARETT CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL, NOT TO WEED. YOU'RE WELCOME HERE, BUT NOT TO LESBIAN GIRLFRIEND OR SHOEM WAL HOMOSEXUAL BOYFRIEND. ANY WAY. LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 12. ALMOST DONE, I KNOW YOU'RE GLAD, AREN'T YOU? ALMOST DONE. P JOHN CHAPTER 12 VERSE 42. NEVERTHELESS, EVEN AMONG THE RULERS, MANY BELIEVED IN HIM, NO, AMONG THE RULERS, MAYBE YOU'RE A SUPERVISOR, MAYBE YOU'RE A MANAGER, MAYBE YOU'RE AN EXECUTIVE. MAYBE YOU'RE THE OWNER OF A BUSINESS. EVEN AMONG THE RULERS, MANY BELIEVED IN HIM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PHARISEES, THEY DID NOT CONFESS HIM. LESS THEY SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE. FOR THEY LOVED THE PRAISE OF MEN MORE THAN THE PRAISE OF GOD. LOOK AT THAT IN THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE, VERSE 43. FOR THEY LOVED THE APPROVAL AND THE PRAISE AND THE GLORY THAT COME FROM MEN INSTEAD OF AND MORE THAN THE GLORY THAT COMES FROM GOD. THEY VALUED THEIR CREDIT WITH MEN MORE THAN THEIR CREDIT WITH GOD. YOU'LL NEVER BE PERSECUTED. YOU'LL NEVER BE HATED. NEVER BE AN INTENSE A VERSION OR DISLIKE, A MALICIOUS ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOU AS LONG AS D LOOK AT THIS NOW, AS LONG AS YOU LOVE THE APPROVAL AND PRAISE AND GLORY THAT COMES FROM A MAN INSTEAD OF FROM GOD. AS LONG AS YOU VALUE THEIR CREDIT, YOUR CREDIT WITH THEM, MORE THAN YOUR CREDIT WITH GOD. GOT TO BE ACCEPTED, GOT TO BE LIKED, GOT TO BE ONE OF THEM, ONE OF THE BUDDIES, WANTED THE GIRLS, GOT TO BE IN THE CLIQUEY, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT THEM NO SAY YOU'RE ALL THIS AND ALL OF THAT AND WANT TO BE -- YOU WANT TO BE APPLAUDED AND COMMENDED AND WANT TO BE LOOKED UP TO AND YOU JUST WON'T BE LOOKED UP TO, YOU THINK, IF YOU STAND UP FOR GOD. SO THEY'LL NEVER HATE YOU BECAUSE OF FEAR. BECAUSE YOU WANT THE PRAISES OF MEN MORE THAN THE PRAISES OF GOD . I WANT YOU TO STUDY THE BOOK OF ACTS CHAPTER 4 AND WE'LL JUST LOOK AT ONE SCRIPTURE, I'LL JUST TELL YOU ABOUT IT, ACTS 4-13. BEFORE JESUS WAS -- AFTER JESUS WAS PERSECUTED, FIND ALL OF THE DISCIPLES HIDING IN FEAR, THEY WERE AFRAID, MAN, THEY WERE AFRAID, THEY WERE AFRAID. BUT AFTER THE RESURRECTION, AFTER THE RESURRECTION, AFTER BEING THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE BIBLE SAYS ACTS 4-13, WHEN THEY SAW THE BOLDNESS OF PETER AND JOHN, THEY MARVELED, HALLELUJAH, WHEN THEY SAW THE BOLDNESS. THEY CAME OUT OF FEAR. YOU CAN COME OUT OF FEAR. WHEN THEY SAW THE BOLDNESS OF PETER AND JOHN AND PERCEIVED THAT THEY WERE UNEDUCATED AND UNTRAINED MAN, THEY MARVELED AND REALIZED THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS . MAN, THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND WITH JESUS, THE MORE FEAR, QUICKLY, THE MORE QUICKLY FEAR WILL LEAVE YOUR LIFE, THE FEAR LEAVES YOU. AND THAT'S OTHER SCRIPTURES HERE THAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN, BUT I THINK I WANT YOU TO SEE ONE LAST ONE AND KWOOER GOING TO CLOSE FOR THE DAY, I THINK THAT'S JOHN 19, LET ME SEE HERE. JOHN 19. P I WANT YOU TO WRITE THIS STATEMENT DOWN. OKAY? THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU MUST TAKE A STAND AND FEAR MUST NO LONGER RULE YOU. THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU MUST TAKE A STAND AND FEAR MUST NO LONGER RULE YOU. NOW, LET'S LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 19, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE. VERSE 38, THEN I'M GOING TO HAVE MS. GOOL COME AND HE'S GOING TO JOIN ME TAKING A PRAYER, TAKING AUTHORITY OVER FEAR. AFTER THIS, THIS IS AFTER JESUS'S DEATH, RIGHT? AFTER THIS, JOSEPH OF -- BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS, BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS, NOW, LISTEN, I HOPE THIS NEXT PART IS NOT YOU. BUT SECRETLY, BUT HOW SECRETLY, DISCIPLE OF JESUS, BUT SECRETLY, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW I'M FOLLOWING JESUS, OH, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW I BELIEVE IN JESUS, SO I'LL LISTEN TO THE SECULAR MUSIC, TOO. I'LL GO TO THE PARTIES. I'LL LISTEN TO THE DIRTY JOKES, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW I'M FOLLOWING JESUS. I'LL COMPROMISE. THE BIBLE SAYS, HERE, AND THIS JOSEPH -- AFTER THIS, JOSEPH BEING A DISCIPLE OF JESUS, BUT SECRETLY, WHY WAS IT SECRET? FEAR. ARE YOU BOUND BY #2350ER? FEAR? DO YOU WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN? OH, BUT THEN, FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, NOTICE NOW, FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS, HE WASSAL F A FOLLOWING JESUS SECRETLY FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS BUT HE ASKED THAT HE MIGHT TAKE AWAY THE BODY OF JESUS AND HE GAVE HIM PERMISSION SO HE CAME AND TOOK THE BODY OF JESUS. MARK CHAPTER 15, THIS IS MARK, 15 VERSE 43. I SAID THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU MUST BE BOLD. AND FEAR NO LONGER CONTROLS YOUR LIFE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE WORLD IS GOING TO HATE YOU . THEN IT CAN HATE YOU. THEN IT WILL HATE YOU. THEN IT SHOULD HATE YOU. MARK 15. NOW, VERSE 42. NOW, WHEN EVENING HAD COME, BECAUSE IT WAS THE PREPARATION DAY, THAT IS THE DAY WHEN -- THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH, JOSEPH OF -- WE JUST READ ABOUT HIM FROM JOHN'S ACCOUNT. NOW, LUKE. JOSEPH, A PROMINENT COUNCIL MEMBER, LET'S SWITCH OVER TO THE AMPLIFIED. JOSEPH, NOBLE AND HONORABLE IN RANK, IN A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL RMENTDED MEMBER OF THE COUNT COUNCIL, HON LABELORABLE, HE HAD PROMINENCE, IMPORTANCE, CLOUT, HE WAS IN WITH THE LEADERS. JOSEPH, NOBLE AND HONORABLE IN RANK AND RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL WHO WAS HIMSELF WAITING FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD DARING THE CONSEQUENCES, SEE THERE COMES A TIME, IN EVERYBODY'S LIFE, YOU'VE GOT TO STEP OUT, FEAR NO LONGER CONTROLS YOU. DARING THE CONSEQUENCE S, KNOWS HE WAS FOLLOWING JESUS IN SECRET, BUT NOW, DAMN THE CONSEQUENCES, I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO ME. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY MIGHT SAY ABOUT ME. DARING THE CONSEQUENCES, HE TOOK COURAGE. SAY I'M GOING TO TAKE COURAGE. I'M GOING TO TAKE COURAGE. SAY IT OUT LOUD. I'M GOING TO TAKE COURAGE. DARING THE CONSEQUENCES, TOOK COURAGE, AND VENTURED TO GO INTO PILOT AND ASK FOR THE BODY OF JESUS. HAL LOLELUJAH. DARING THE CONSEQUENCES. TOOK COURAGE. WE'RE IN A DAY IN TIME, ON GOD'S TIMETABLE FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST, FOR HATRED AND PERSECUTION, MALICE, ILL WILL, IS TO BE EXPERIENCED BY THE CHRISTIAN. BY THE CHURCH. DON'T LET FEAR CRIPPLE YOU. DARE THE CONSEQUENCES. NOT DARING THE CONSEQUENCES. BE LIKE JOSEPH. COME OUT OF SECRECY. COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. LIKE THEY HAVE DONE IN THE WORLD. COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. AS A CHRISTIAN. LET EVERYBODY KNOW, I'M NOT' FRAD ANYMOR AFRAID ANYMORE. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. IN THE NAME OF JESUS. LET'S TAKE AUTHORITY OVER SPIRIT -- SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY.. » PRAISE THE LORD. » PRAISE THE LORD. » I AGREE. » AMEN. » IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO SEE HOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN CHANGE AS WE SAW WITH JOEZ SEL JOSEPH HAD, H, HE WAS A DISCIPLE IN SECRET AS IN JOHN. HE DECIDED TO COME OUT AND OUT OF THE CLOSET, SO TO SPEAK, AND TAKE THE CHANCE AND DARING THE CONSEQUENCES, HE TOOK THE CHANCE OF OUTING HIMSELF, THAT HE WAS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, AND BURIED THE BODY OF JESUS. » HALLELUJAH. » SO YOU'VE BEEN BOUND WITH FEAR, WE WANT TO TAKE AUTHORITY WITH THAT, BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO BE WHO GOD HAS CALLED US TO BE. IT'S TIME FOR US TO BE THE BODY OF CHRIST. THE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WALKING IN BOLDNESS. » IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I COME AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, I COME AGAINST A SPIRIT OF TRIMDTY, IN THE NAME OF -- TIMIDTY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I COMMAND TO LOOSE GOOD'S PEOPLE GOD'S PEOPLE. DECLARE YOUR FREEDOM RIGHT NOW IN JESUS'S NAME, IN JESUS NAME, SPEAK YOUR FREEDOM RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. FOR GOD THE NOT GIVE U DID NOT GIVE US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND AND WELL-BALANCED MIND. THE LORD IS OUR LIGHT AND OUR SALVATION WHOM SHALL WE FEAR, THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF OUR LIFE, OF WHOM SHALL WE BE AFRAID? GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH. HE IS OUR FORT RE TRES. WHOM SHALL WE FEAR? THE LORD IS ON OUR SIDE. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO US? WE SHALL NOT FEAR. » HALLELUJAH. » OKAY? WHAT CAN MAN DO TO US? » THANK YOU, LORD . » SO WE HAVE A VICTORY OVER FEAR THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY THE LORD SGLZ, AN JESUS, LET'S ACCEPT THAT AND WALK IN IT. » IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR HAND RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN PUT YOUR OTHER HAND ON YOUR HEAD, IF YOU WANT TO. IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. DEFILE TORMENTING SPIRIT.

LOOSE THEIR MINDS, LOOSE THEIR EMOTIONS, LOOSE THEM IN JESUS MIGHT NAME . LET BOLDNESS COME AMONG THEM. LET THE SPIRIT OF BOLDNESS COME ON THEM IN NOW IN JESUS NAME. FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT YEAH, WE WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, WE DON'T HAVE TO FEAR ANYTHING. WE THANK YOU THAT YOU'LL PREPARE A TABLE FOR US IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR ENEMIES, GOD MAY WITH NEVER DENY YOU. BECAUSE WE CHOOSE THE PRAISE OF A MAN, A GROUP, COWORKERS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT. » AS WE ENGAGE, AS WE ENGAGE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE, FOLLOWING THE LORD, THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN HE WILL TELL US TO BE SILENT. THAT'S WHEN WE ARE SILENT. WE'RE NOT SILENT BECAUSE OF FEAR. » THAT'S RIGHT. » OKAY? SO YOU KNOW, IN THE WISDOM OF GOD, HE MAY SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT'S THE ONLY TIME. YOU SEE, WHEN WE DO IT OUT OF FEAR, THEN WE ARE REALLY PREFERRING THE APPROVAL OF MEN OVER THE APPROVAL OF GOD. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T WANT. THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO FIGHT FEAR AND RESISTANT IT WHEN IT COMES TO TESTIFYING OF OUR ASSOCIATION WITH CHRIST. WE DON'T WANT TO SAY, THAT WE DON'T VALUE HIM ENOUGH TO TAKE A CHANCE OF BEING PERSECUTED BY THOSE WHO HATE HIM. OKAY? » HALLELUJAH. » WE KNOW THAT SECOND TIMOTHY 1-7, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE IN A FEW MOMENTS NOW, THAT SECOND TIMOTHY 1-7. PAUL WAS TALKING TO HIS SON -- TIMOTHY WAS TIMID. HE WAS RELUCTANT AND APPREHENSIVE. YOU KNOW, TO STAND UP TO GOD AND PAUL HAD TO TELL HIM -- STIR UP THE DWIFTS OF GO GIFTS OF GOD INSIDE OF YOU. DON'T BE ASHAMED TO SUFFER LIKE I'M SUFFERING IN JAIL, A PRISONER. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IF YOU LOOK OVER THE BOOK OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 13, SOMEWHERE AT THE LATTER PART OF THE CHAPTER, YOU FIND WILL PAUL WROTE AND TIMOTHY HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON. TIMOTHY CAME OUT OF THAT TIMID SPIRIT, THAT FEAR, WHERE HE REACHE ED UP AND BECAME BOLD AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL AND STOOD UP FOR GOD TO THE POINT WHERE THEY PUT HIM IN PRISON, ISN'T THAT SOMETHING? I TELL YOU WHAT, I'M READY TO GO TO PRISON T FOR GOD IF IT COMES TO THAT. WE HAD A CONVERSATION THE OTHER DAY ABOUT SOMETHING, MAN, THAT'S THE WAY -- JUST THE WAY -- TALKING ABOUT -- » JESUS SAID THAT WE SHOULD BE PREPARED. THE BIBLE SAYS THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. AND THE WORD OF THE TESTIMONY. AND THEY DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES EVEN UNTO DEATH. WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED, WE'RE IN A DAME IN TIME WHERE WE COULD -- DAY IN TIME WHERE WE COULD FACE, WE DON'T SEE IT IN FRONT OF OUR FACE, BUT WE SEE THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE WORLD, THE HATRED OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE. » OF THE CHURCH. » WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS, WHO STAND WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVE YOIF YOIOR. » YOU'LL BE HATED AND KILLED AND THEY'LL THINK THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
