  1. Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

  2. from St. Augustine, FL.

  3. Now enjoy this message. I've been, you know, listening

  4. and watching some things, and I've been around a while and

  5. I've seen a lot of things happen and a lot of people come and go

  6. and I want to just do a little teaching tonight.

  7. You know, I feel like that, especially in the rhyme of

  8. circles, that I have the right to to speak with a voice and

  9. warning. And I guess if you want to title

  10. this, just call it, don't let anyone fool you.

  11. Now we're living in a very unrestful time.

  12. I mean economics, politically, militarily.

  13. I mean, everything is just seem to be topsy turvy and there are

  14. many voices that are trying to tell you what to believe.

  15. Even in the Christian circles, even in even in charismatic

  16. Pentecostal circles, we're living in an age when there's a

  17. lot of spiritual activity going on and see what a lot of people

  18. don't realize the the devil's world.

  19. That's a that's a spiritual world.

  20. And there's the Christian world is a spiritual world, and many

  21. people don't recognize that. And the devil was kicked out of

  22. heaven. He was an Archangel, probably in

  23. charge of music. And you can go read there in

  24. Isaiah where he said he saw him falling from heaven.

  25. He he took a third of the angels.

  26. They formed a coup and they were going to overthrow God.

  27. And it's sort of dumb, but but the devil's dumb.

  28. So he took a third of the angels with him and they all got kicked

  29. out of heaven. So that means that there's two

  30. angels left for every one of his hello.

  31. You know as Bible believing Christians we need to check the

  32. sources when we hear something we could be and and I've seen

  33. and through the years. I mean I grew up and I was born

  34. one Sunday and then my dad's church the next Sunday about 20

  35. years ago. But no, I was born in September

  36. the 3rd, 1939. That's the that's the day that

  37. England declared war on Germany. My dad told me that I went and

  38. looked it up and it's it is. That's it, you know?

  39. And I was in his church the next Sunday.

  40. And I've seen stuff through the years growing up in in spiritual

  41. circles in Christendom, and I've seen people taking advantage of

  42. and all sorts of things and and and all sorts of doctrines.

  43. In fact, we've had through the years, especially in in recent

  44. years. Some year we had Shepherd Ship

  45. and we had all kinds of stuff that actually started out, the

  46. people that did it. But then it turned bad.

  47. Mark, I mean, Matthew 24, four. Now you stay with me because

  48. I'm, I'm, I'm just going, I'm going to talk to you tonight.

  49. It may not be exciting, but if you'll listen I think you'll get

  50. a hold of something. And Jesus answered them and said

  51. to them take heed that no one deceive you.

  52. The NL that's King New King James.

  53. The NLT says don't let anyone mislead you.

  54. The original Living Bible said Jesus said don't let anyone fool

  55. you. The enemy is using people to say

  56. things and design things to deceive, get people to go go

  57. astray. Even even the Apostle Peter said

  58. in Second Peter 2 But there were all there were also false

  59. prophets in in Israel. Just as there will be false

  60. prophets or false teachers among you, they will cleverly teach

  61. destructive heresies, even denying the master who brought

  62. them in this way. They will bring sudden

  63. destruction on themselves. Many will follow their evil

  64. teaching and save them immorality.

  65. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be

  66. slandered in their greed. They will make up clever lies to

  67. get a hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago,

  68. and their destruction will be will will not be delayed.

  69. Now even Peter said that there were false teachers there in

  70. Israel and then he goes on and say that they're going to be

  71. here. I have seen some of those and

  72. just because something looks good and sounds good and has

  73. some scripture behind it, check it out to make sure that they're

  74. not taking a scripture out of context.

  75. So much has been been taken out of context and they, and I'm

  76. sorry to say, but many, and I get disgusted sometimes with

  77. Christian television. I'm on it, but I'm on Daystar.

  78. But had some of these things in these these gimmicks that these

  79. people have, I better go on and shut up.

  80. But that's what I'm talking about.

  81. And many people are being deceived.

  82. I had just gotten out of the Army in 1965.

  83. If you don't know it, Vietnam started right there, around 63

  84. in fact. I I did.

  85. I worked in Army Security Agency.

  86. I did never went to Nam. I was watching everything that

  87. moved in China and so forth. And I just got now I just got

  88. out of the service myself and I heard this guy say on the radio

  89. and if and I just got me pastor he he was army.

  90. He knows what I'm talking about. You're a little rough around the

  91. edges when you first get out because if you're not if you're

  92. not tough enough and strong enough you don't make it.

  93. But and he may and he said this I got so mad I was driving in my

  94. car and I heard him say, oh the Lord told me right now there's

  95. there is if you will, a lot of your mother's your son's in

  96. Vietnam. If you'll send $25 I'll pray and

  97. guarantee that he'll come home. I I happen to know one of the

  98. guys that worked in that area with him in in that in an area,

  99. and I happen to know he got $1,000,000 off of that radio

  100. broadcast. Now I'm talking about people

  101. deceiving you. People were deceived because of

  102. that. People are being deceived today.

  103. Now, you know the devil is offering all kinds of things to

  104. lead God's people astray. That's what he hates God.

  105. He hates anything to do with God.

  106. He raps songs with words of doubt and unbelief that are

  107. catchy tunes that Christians begin to get a hold of.

  108. I mean, we sing a lot. We sing a lot of the songs, but

  109. Anthony and them guys, they change a lot of the words in

  110. some of the songs. You see, if we're going to walk,

  111. work, walk in victory that we talk about, we got to know the

  112. truth of God's word. I'm just going to talk to you

  113. out of my heart tonight. I can preach if I need to, but

  114. God's been dealing with me about some of this stuff because I've

  115. seen I'm seeing too many people taking being taken advantage of

  116. and they think it's God, but it ain't.

  117. And sorry if it isn't, maybe I should say, but that's what we

  118. say where I grew up. It's hard for me not to say it.

  119. In Matthew 24, four through 11, Jesus told them don't let anyone

  120. mislead you, for many will come in my name claiming I am the

  121. Messiah. They will deceive many and you

  122. will hear wars and threats of wars, but don't panic.

  123. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow

  124. immediately. Nation will go to war against

  125. nation, Kingdom against Kingdom. There will be phantoms and

  126. earthquakes in many parts of the world.

  127. But all of this is only the first of the birth pains with

  128. more to come then you and you'll be arrested and persecuted and

  129. many of them were in that day and many people that you don't

  130. realize it in other countries because of their Christianity,

  131. are being arrested and killed and persecuted right now.

  132. Even some of our own missionaries that that are in

  133. the charismatic circles have faced these things.

  134. You'll be hated all over the world because you're not my

  135. followers right now. If you start talking about God

  136. around in certain areas, people will come at you like you like

  137. you don't you don't. You don't want anybody come in

  138. contact with that. Some people have it.

  139. It's they. That's just the way it is and

  140. this is the end time. And it goes on to say many false

  141. prophets will appear and deceive many people.

  142. Skip down to full verse 24. Now that's that wizard that ends

  143. at 11 for false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and

  144. form great signs and munders. So don't don't be deceived if

  145. possible. Even God Chosen ones four times.

  146. Verse 451124 Jesus Is this Jesus talking?

  147. He said Don't be fooled or deceived.

  148. Notice the saying. He said there'd be wars and

  149. famines and earthquakes and pestilence or epidemics.

  150. And you know, there are people that claiming that they got this

  151. revelation from God and it may be and it may not be.

  152. Check it out. Well, we're not supposed to

  153. judge. The Bible tells us to judge

  154. prophecy. Come on now.

  155. So I said, well, bro, so I said I don't care who said it.

  156. And you can tell them to come see me.

  157. I don't care. I'm 84.

  158. I'll say what I want to say. If they don't like it, there's a

  159. door. That's me.

  160. Earl was telling you that and he'll tell you I'm.

  161. I've been that way the whole time.

  162. I'm me. I'm real.

  163. I'm no. I don't put on no false fronts.

  164. I mean, I don't have to have a special seat.

  165. I try to slip into a place and sit in the back.

  166. So then just and they'll, somebody will see them there and

  167. they'll have to escort me to the front.

  168. I I don't have to have no front seat.

  169. But, man, sometimes people come in there to some of our

  170. conferences and oh, where's my now?

  171. I'll need a special parking place and I'll need a special

  172. place to sit. I said park wherever you can

  173. find a place and sit wherever you want to sit, you know, come

  174. on now, I'm talking about the Christian world that we're in

  175. today. I'm not trying to be negative,

  176. but I'm trying to warn us. God's been dealing with me about

  177. this and I decided that, OK, I'll start saying it, you know,

  178. you know, the devil wants to deceive.

  179. He hates anything that has to do with God, and he will do

  180. everything he can to stop anything that has to do with

  181. God. We all know that we quoted all

  182. the time, John 1010. Still he comes to steal, kill

  183. and destroy. And you know Paul writing to

  184. Timothy in First Timothy 41. I'm reading some of this from

  185. the NLT. Now, the Holy Spirit tells us

  186. clearly that these last times, in these last times, some will

  187. turn away from the true faith. They will follow deceptive

  188. spirits and teachings that come from demons.

  189. I've been around a long time and I've seen all kinds of stuff.

  190. I mean back in the 50s this guy was going all over the country

  191. with a tent and he had, he had this cross that would appear in

  192. his forehead and blood would drip from it and everybody was

  193. following him and and I mean we, I was in Bible school and but we

  194. all went there. A bunch of us went there.

  195. You know, I mean he he was, he was he was a Pentecostal and man

  196. people are fucking to it like crazy and not some of the guys

  197. that we went went there and all they were talking about.

  198. I said that's that's not right. I said that's not in the Bible.

  199. Oh, Hagan, you just. Of course I had an advantage.

  200. I had a dad that's that that's very, very far as I'm concerned.

  201. He's the smartest man that I I know on Bible subjects and if

  202. you, if you if you're going to like one man they told, they

  203. told him, well you're going to because of this guy.

  204. He he was going in this denomination.

  205. He was going to have to. They said, well, we'll bring the

  206. charge, but you're going to have, you're going to have to

  207. face him. He said, Oh my Lord, he said

  208. that he can quote more, more, more of the Bible than I could

  209. than I've read. And he could and he could.

  210. When he quit, Lord told him quit.

  211. He'd read. He'd read the New Testament 3

  212. through 150 times and Lord told him that you're going to get

  213. prideful. Don't do that.

  214. So he he quit keeping the count. I don't know how many times he

  215. read the New Testament through, but is you see here anything

  216. that has to do with God? And so they were all, I mean

  217. everybody was all about it. And the reason I'm talking about

  218. this is because I have lived long enough to see this stuff

  219. start to come back around some stuff.

  220. I mean, it hadn't been very long ago.

  221. People was having gold dust and and and all kinds of stuff and

  222. people are flocking to it. Hey, don't be deceived.

  223. How many of you read the Bible through you've read the entire

  224. Bible. Did you ever see anywhere in

  225. there where anybody had gold dust appearing in this, in this?

  226. Did you see anywhere in there where anybody had oil running

  227. out of their hands. But those things have happened,

  228. and many people were deceived because of that and lost out

  229. with God. See, deception is the way the

  230. devil operates. How was Eve and Adam?

  231. How? What caused them to transgress

  232. in the Garden of Eden? Deception.

  233. That's the devil's way. And he comes in and he said to

  234. him, oh, surely nothing going to happen if you eat in this tree

  235. and and weary we're warned repeatedly in the epistles about

  236. being stuffed. And you know, Romans 16, you

  237. start reading it and it's and and going down to there and all

  238. it is is Paul greeting people and greet this one and greet

  239. that one and so forth. All right, anybody read it

  240. there? And a lot of times we skip read

  241. because we realize he's just greeting.

  242. But down in verses 17 and 18, he gets down to some real stuff.

  243. And Romans 1617 and 18. And I won't.

  244. I'm reading it from the NLT because it's a little more.

  245. And now I make one more appeal. My dear brothers, evidently he

  246. has appealed to them before. On this subject, I make one more

  247. appeal. Watch out for people who cause

  248. divisions and upset people's face by teaching things contrary

  249. to what you've been taught. Stay away from them.

  250. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord, but they're

  251. serving their own personal, personal interests by smooth

  252. talk, glowing words that deceive innocent people.

  253. That is so good. If you know the word, it don't

  254. matter what somebody says. You know I, my dad and I were we

  255. we we we were there at the inception of TBN.

  256. We have to get started and so forth there in California.

  257. Lynette's can tell you we we were there and helping them help

  258. that get started. And but then a lot of people get

  259. on there and you know they were they were talking about this and

  260. that and the other and they're nowhere to be found today.

  261. And a lot of people followed off after them and got Plumb out

  262. from the things of God. Now, no, this is this is not

  263. shouting material but this is material that if you will listen

  264. to what I'm saying and then think when you hear something,

  265. think scripturally not with your emotions.

  266. There you go. Yeah.

  267. Come on now. I've got 22 hours of psychology

  268. and my degree, and I happen to know that people can

  269. psychologically get you to they can prey on your side, on your

  270. psychic and get you to give money and all kinds of things.

  271. That's why you you've never heard my dad.

  272. You've never heard me, Craig, Any of us, ever get up and make

  273. and don't. I don't even preach A sermon

  274. about giving. Ain't no use in it, far as I'm

  275. concerned. I see people take 20 minutes to

  276. take the offering and get up and preach an hour.

  277. Well, that's stupid. Somebody said, well, why don't

  278. you say it? I mean, you shouldn't say that.

  279. Well, I think it is. That's my personal opinion.

  280. If you don't like it, EXIT. These guys that have been in

  281. Raymond heard me say it before, But you know what?

  282. It's time that somebody had guts enough to stand up and talk

  283. about some of these things that's happening in the

  284. Christian world right now. God's been dealing with me about

  285. it and I decided, hey, I'm the head.

  286. I'm the head of Raymond and we got Raima's a word.

  287. Raima's a place and Raima's a worldwide family.

  288. And as the head of Raima, I I feel and all y'all are part of

  289. Raima because y'all are hooked in with us.

  290. So your pastor it's then if I'm the head then it's my it's my

  291. duty to speak to you about these things so that you will not be

  292. deceived. Thank you, Ephesians 5-6 says.

  293. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse sin, for the anger of

  294. God will fall on all who disobey him.

  295. I've been highly upset over the last about the last 10 years

  296. over even ministers that are saying it's all right to drink

  297. and because of grace. And grace is a great subject,

  298. but it has been pushed to the extent over here on the wrong

  299. side of grace. You know, people talk about

  300. grace well in one place and in your testament, the Holy Spirit

  301. is said, the spirit is called the spirit of grace.

  302. They're actually, there's about 17 different times in there that

  303. that the word grace is used. And it's not in any way the way

  304. they're that it's been talked about.

  305. Now it'll come back around actually, and people are saying

  306. it's all right to do whatever you want to do because you're

  307. under grace. Well, it's not.

  308. Some of y'all may have heard that because that was just out

  309. just a few years back. And for some of you that are not

  310. old enough, that's nothing more than the doctrine of one saved,

  311. always saved that came around back that was really strong back

  312. in the 50s when I was a teenager growing.

  313. I graduated high school 58, so that tells you my where I come

  314. from that that once saved, always saved.

  315. That was the big topic back in those days.

  316. Once you're saved, you're saved. Let me tell you what, If a

  317. person gets born again and truly saved, there is a change in

  318. their lives and they not. They're not living and doing the

  319. things they were doing before, but yet people are being

  320. deceived. Today they go to one of these

  321. churches, and sometimes it's just a video church.

  322. And I'm sorry to say, but the guy they listened to went into a

  323. room and recorded it, and he's not even preaching it to an

  324. audience. Come on now.

  325. And I happen to know that sometimes they will speak to a

  326. audience of young people, middle-aged people and older

  327. people. They will treat their message

  328. and they will change this and change that and change something

  329. else. And so not to offend somebody.

  330. The gospel is the gospel. If it offends you, then that

  331. means that you are not where you should be with God.

  332. If preaching the Bible, if talking about hell, talking

  333. about sin, come on, now I'm walking where angels fear the

  334. tread, but I'm doing it anyway because I am tired of people

  335. getting deceived. I know for I know personally

  336. that what they this couple told the pastor.

  337. So they were on the team, you know, the team up on the

  338. platform and said, oh, we're under grace, so it's all right

  339. if we live together and not married.

  340. I don't find that in the word of God.

  341. Anybody find that in the Bible that you can live together out

  342. of wedlock? Come on now, you know, Hey, some

  343. of you are with me. Some of you are looking at me

  344. like, where are you coming from? Well, I'm coming from the fact

  345. that I'm reading scripture to substantiate what I'm talking

  346. about. I'm not just telling you

  347. something. I'm thinking.

  348. I'm telling you what what the Bible says.

  349. You know Colossians 214. I mean 24 says 24.

  350. I'm telling you this so no one will deceive you with well

  351. crafted arguments I've seen. I'll tell you that King James

  352. says now this I say, lest anyone should deceive you with

  353. persuasive words. Some people are great orators.

  354. They can, you know, and that's the problem with some of these

  355. churches today. And I'm sorry, I may, I may get

  356. letters, I may get phone calls or whatever, but that's I I

  357. don't worry about it. But they're preaching to the

  358. people. They're giving them a feel good

  359. sermon and they won't go out of church.

  360. I've done my duty. I went to church and there is no

  361. life change. If there's no life change, then

  362. there's no conversion. Hello.

  363. You know, Second Thessalonians 2-3.

  364. Anybody get anything out of this?

  365. Don't be fooled by what they say for that day, for that day will

  366. not come until the great rebellion against God and the

  367. man of loudness revealed no one, the one who brings destruction.

  368. Watch, Paul said here. Watch that words don't are not

  369. being able to deceive you. We many times in the natural if

  370. we're not careful, something that is said will appeal to our

  371. natural senses. It sounds good and feels good,

  372. but it isn't in line with the word of God.

  373. The Bible says that even in the last days, Christians will be

  374. deceived. People are saying, oh, I don't

  375. need to read the Bible anymore. You know, I've been saved and

  376. and I I mean, it's being said right now.

  377. I've heard it. It's OK if we don't go to church

  378. and just watch it on the live stream.

  379. That's all right. Well, it's OK if you can't get

  380. there, but what does the Bible say?

  381. Hebrews 1025, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves

  382. together, and was in the matter of some, but exhorting one

  383. another. So the much more as you see the

  384. day approaching Hebrews 1025 in NLT.

  385. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people

  386. do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of

  387. his returning is drawing nigh there.

  388. You get something when you come together in the local body of

  389. church that you can't get watching that screen number one,

  390. you there drinking your coffee with your house shoes on and

  391. your and your pajamas on, and you're you're halfway listening

  392. and halfway not. But I've done my duty.

  393. I went to church. There are many churches and I'm

  394. now I'm going to really get strong.

  395. There are many even charismatic churches that are have trying to

  396. have church without the power of God.

  397. What am I talking about? I know exactly some churches

  398. that say we have no demonstration of any kind in the

  399. service. What we saw during worship while

  400. ago, people down here, people over here, people and people

  401. jumping, that is not allowed. And they say if you would like

  402. to talk about a better life at the end of the service where

  403. people will be here and you can come and talk with them about a

  404. better life. And if you would like to have a

  405. little more information about some another experience back

  406. here in this room, back here in the back part of the campus, we

  407. have one night a week, we have an hour meeting and they'll

  408. explain to you about a deeper experience that don't cut it.

  409. As far as I'm concerned. If you come to Raven Bible

  410. Church, I will give an altar call.

  411. I will ask for people that if they like, need to accept Jesus

  412. Christ or they need to rededicate their life to God,

  413. I'll ask them to raise their hand and come forward so I can

  414. pray with them. I also will give a call if you'd

  415. like to receive the Holy Spirit. According to what the Bible says

  416. in Acts chapter 2, verse #4, they were all filled with the

    Acts 2 chapter mention

  417. Holy Spirit, began to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them

  418. utterance. We have many of our charismatic

  419. church churches today that are not allowing any of that to

  420. happen. There there's if somebody gets

  421. up at the in a demonstration, the ushers will usher them out.

  422. I know that to be a fact, and yet the bill is full.

  423. Come on, Deception as far as I'm concerned.

  424. Come on. There you go.

  425. Come on. I don't know what y'all think

  426. about this, but I'm doing what I felt like God told me to do.

  427. Having church with no call for salvation, no moving of the

  428. Spirit of any kind or demonstration of the Spirit is

  429. not in line with what the Paul taught is not in line with the

  430. book of Acts. And do you realize that that's

  431. the Acts of the early church? Do you realize that the Acts did

  432. not end? And chapter 28, We are still

  433. living the Book of Acts and what was happening in among them

  434. should be happening with us, Paul said.

  435. You come together, you have a Psalm, you have testimony, you

  436. have a prophecy. You have in tongues

  437. interpretations I give I, I I speak out prophecy all the time

  438. while I'm preaching. Sometimes I don't ever tell

  439. nobody. It's it.

  440. If somebody studied the word, they can tell when it's when,

  441. it's when it's coming out of my spirit and the Spirit gives it

  442. to you. See, God wants to move with His

  443. Spirit in power and give you understanding.

  444. In fact, if you read the Bible, it says that if you will study

  445. the word, he will reveal things to you.

  446. Anybody ever read that in there? We are living in what they call

  447. and when I was in Bible school I was taught this.

  448. I went to Southwestern Assembly God University in Waxahachie, TX

  449. and we had a different name then, but it's the same school

  450. You ever noticed a lot of these schools changing their names.

  451. But we are living in what we call the age of the Holy Spirit.

  452. It's the time that the Holy Spirit is being poured out.

  453. You know, I you read Acts 2 and Peter talking in the last days.

  454. God said I'll pour out my spirit upon all people and he goes on

  455. and talks all about it. It's true.

  456. Today we need to have Pentecost. When they were filled with the

  457. Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, people heard them

  458. talking in tongues. Actually, they thought they were

  459. drunk. And Peter said they're not drunk

  460. as wine as you suppose they had. They were drunk on the Holy

  461. Spirit. Nowhere in the Bible does it say

  462. that the Holy Spirit has ceased. Now, a lot of people have said

  463. that. A lot of denomination, a lot of

  464. churches, and a lot of people say, oh, that happened in Bible

  465. days. We are still in Bible days.

  466. Hallelujah. And what happened then should be

  467. happening now. I went to some churches just to

  468. see, and in the back they didn't know who it was.

  469. I set out. My wife will tell you.

  470. We went. We were appalled.

  471. It was supposed to be a Pentecostal church.

  472. I left that grieved in my spirit because what they say on their

  473. sign and in their statements of faith is not happening in their

  474. building. We have come to the point and I

  475. got to quit. It's too long I've come.

  476. We've come to the point that too many people are ascribing to a

  477. code written but not demonstrated.

  478. The Holy Spirit should be moving in our midst, and we're going to

  479. have a healing line here on Friday night.

  480. And one of the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation,

  481. which is the gifts of healings. You know, we all read Mark 16.

  482. These meritless signs will accomplish accompany the

  483. believer. We need to not just embrace them

  484. with our thoughts and with our speech.

  485. We need to embrace them with our actions.

  486. You know, John Ray, in the layman's commentary on the Holy

  487. Spirit, said this. Every generation must be

  488. convinced of the reality of God that he is not dead, but living

  489. and loving. All Christians and missionaries

  490. and evangelists and ministers need the supernatural equipment

  491. to do their part in proclaiming Christ to the lost and dying

  492. world. But not only do they need it,

  493. that and I got a sermon. I preach sometimes.

  494. Every member, a minister, everybody, everybody that that's

  495. born again. Everybody's filled with the

  496. spirits you have. You have a place to minister.

  497. It may not be on a platform, but wherever you're at, come on now.

  498. Through the years there have been many moves of the Spirit

  499. and I'm just going to go back They the Pentecostal Revival.

  500. It came with Azusa St. The healing revival has started

  501. 1947 through 1958. I my dad was a part of it.

  502. I grew up there. I I I knew all of those guys.

  503. I knew oral. I knew WB Grant.

  504. I knew Jack Cole. I knew a A Allen personally.

  505. I went to. I went to Scandalville Bible

  506. Academy with Paul Allen, Allen's son.

  507. You name all of those evangelists.

  508. And you know what? Most of them got off because

  509. they got hunting money. Come on now, Oral Roberts.

  510. Kenneth Hagin, 2, and Osborne and only three of that group

  511. that I know. And then I don't know why they

  512. all ended up in Tulsa. All of them.

  513. All three of them that continued their ministry.

  514. Out of all of those, I got the magazines, the Boise Heating

  515. magazine. Gordon Lindsay was the head of.

  516. I know I knew Gordon Lindsay personally myself.

  517. Dad was there with him the charismatic renewal that

  518. started. I was AI would have had the

  519. privilege of being a part of that full gospel of businessmen

  520. started it. People were getting the Holy

  521. Ghost in the elevators in in in restaurants in the halls of of

  522. of of hotels and resorts. They have these huge conventions

  523. And I was in Phoenix. We you remember this on way in

  524. Phoenix AZ. Now Dimas Securin was the head

  525. of that and he dimas like that. He said, Now, Brother Hagan,

  526. these other guys can teach faith, but nobody teaches the

  527. Holy Spirit like you do. You're going to be the Holy

  528. Spirit. Teacher, we were in Phoenix, AZ.

  529. There's a room, 400 people. I believe it was in that room.

  530. Daddy taught on the Holy Spirit. He stood up and he said receive

  531. the Holy Spirit. And 400 people started speaking

  532. in tongues. I saw it.

  533. Hello. That was the healing revival.

  534. Now why am I talking about it? Then the teaching revival came.

  535. All these people got the Holy Spirit.

  536. They didn't know what to do. And that's why the teaching

  537. revival came. And then we had a Holy Ghost and

  538. Joy revival for a while. See, the Holy Spirit moves in

  539. many different ways. I thank God I had the privilege

  540. of being in every one of these except the Azusa Street I

  541. preached the sermon back into. I preached the mess of Ceres.

  542. It's out there in the book called God's Greater Glory.

  543. I guess they got it on C DS I think on what they haven't put

  544. it on that MP whatever it is anymore.

  545. But I we This is why I'm talking about this because there is

  546. going to be a Last Day revival and it's going to include all of

  547. these revivals put together. And I don't want people to be

  548. deceived thinking that they're they're in in where they're

  549. supposed to be. You know, we need to realize and

  550. sound the alarm that we we belong to God and we need to

  551. realize that greater is he that's in US and he that's in

  552. the world, He's there. It's going to come against us.

  553. He's coming against us. We are all.

  554. This is also known the age of the church, and God is building

  555. the church. He's building the church, which

  556. is the Ecclesias worldwide. Everybody that's born again, but

  557. he's also building local, local congregations.

  558. And you see he said in he said, now I say to you, you're Peter,

  559. which means rocking up on her up on this rock.

  560. I will build my church and all the powers of hell.

  561. Not the car, Peter. People said, oh, they're going,

  562. he's going to build it. No, he's using Peter as an

  563. example, a person the church is being built by you.

  564. What the word of God says what don't you know that you're

  565. living Tabernacle. You're living.

  566. You're living Tabernacle, the Holy Spirit.

  567. He's ultimately building the church, and the enemy is doing

  568. everything within his power right now to come against the

  569. church and us that are born again, spirit filled.

  570. And he's trying to deceive us so that this thing can be shut

  571. down. They're trying to pass

  572. legislation to stop it. Let me tell you something.

  573. The church is a mighty mood and force, and nothing is going to

  574. stop it. We cannot afford to be deceived

  575. by some of these preachers. And don't be deceived by some of

  576. these people that are trying to take use scriptures to take

  577. offerings. It's not only have anything to

  578. do with offering, It's all right to use the scripture for

  579. offering, but make sure that it's talking about an offering.

  580. Come on. And Luke 18, eight.

  581. And I want to close this down. I've been going way too long.

  582. I normally don't go this long. But listen, I'm just.

  583. I'm not preaching the sermon. I'm talking to you out of my

  584. heart. I'm just talking to you.

  585. Tonight, When the Son of Man returns, how many will he find

  586. on Earth who have faith? Far as I'm concerned, they're

  587. going to be faith. And I got Craig and Denise and

  588. my boys. They say that face shield on top

  589. of that building is still going to be spinning.

  590. The devil tried to take it out, but now it's up there, bigger

  591. and better than ever. You see when these difficult

  592. days and times come and people are preaching stuff and you may

  593. even have some of your friends that try to convince you

  594. otherwise, you're going to have to make up your mind what you

  595. believe and stand your ground. Some of you are going to have

  596. listen in this last days. It's going to, the Bible says

  597. it. Everybody's concerned about

  598. what's happening. Hey, nothing is happening that

  599. the Bible doesn't say it's already going to happen.

  600. And we're going to have to make up our mind.

  601. Whether we believe God, we're going to have to make up our

  602. mind. And it's the Bible.

  603. It's gone. And I'm going to preach it

  604. whether they like it or not. And God made Adam and Eve and

  605. not Steve and Jim. Come on now, you can get mad at

  606. me if you want to, but now I'm telling you what the Bible said.

  607. Go read. Go if you want to read.

  608. If you really want to go, read the first chapter of Romans.

  609. If you want to get into it, just read the first chapter of

  610. Romans. What Paul was saying.

  611. They say as it was in the days that one city God destroyed it.

  612. Let's look to the word let's believe what the word says not

  613. what some oh so and so said I don't care what so and so said

  614. Paul said if he came preaching something or somebody else that

  615. he didn't had not to count it to cursed.

  616. You know David went out and declared the last you coming at

  617. me with sword and spirit and jab.

  618. I'm sword and javelin. But today I will kill you and I

  619. will cut off your head because not because of who I am I'm

  620. going to paraphrase that but because of my God.

  621. And let me tell you today, we're going to have to stand against

  622. some giants that are rising up in our nation that are trying to

  623. tell us this is OK and that's OK.

  624. Let me tell you what it's not OK if it's if it's a going against

  625. the word of God, if it's going against what God's principles

  626. are, don't be fooled. It's time that we rise up and

  627. begin to say, I believe God and I will stand for the Bible no

  628. matter what. Because I will not recant and

  629. you going, I believe that we're coming to a point that we're

  630. going to have to get to that place where we just bow our neck

  631. and dig our feet in and say no more and stand up for the

  632. principles of God. You know your pastor, there's

  633. army. I'm army.

  634. There's been other people in here that are probably army.

  635. I raised my. I raised my right hand and I

  636. took an oath. I signed a blank check, payable

  637. up to my life, to defend this country.

  638. Tonight, if you want to stand up and take an oath to stand for

  639. God, no matter what happens, I want you to stand on your feet

  640. right now. Don't do this.

  641. If you did, it don't mean it. Right.

  642. Keep seated. And we're not going.

  643. We're not going, but we're not going to put you down.

  644. But listen, this is serious. Yeah, this is serious.

  645. I'm not talking about doing something because everybody else

  646. is doing it. I'm not talking about doing it

  647. because I said to do it. I'm talking about you having a

  648. conviction in your heart. Yeah.

  649. That you aren't going to stand for what the Bible says.

  650. Hello. Thank you, Jesus.

  651. You make your own commitment. Hallelujah.

  652. You talk to God. You tell God yourself what your

  653. commitment is. You talk to him.

  654. You tell him. I commit God.

  655. I commit. I've preached it.

  656. I've already committed to it. Thank you, Father.

  657. In Jesus name these people are saying they're going to stand

  658. for the what is the word and the things of God.

  659. Father, I thank you that you would give each of us the wisdom

  660. and knowledge and understanding of how and when to keep our

  661. mouths shut and when to open our mouth and talk.

  662. Father, give us the strength to stand in the face of any

  663. opposition that is against you and your word.

  664. I thank you for it in Jesus. Name everybody to agree with

  665. that. Say Amen.
