Thanks for checking out the anger Faith Message podcast from
-
st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now enjoy this message. You know what this month is
-
June. That's what this month is, Tata,
-
my message today is pride. All right, let's turn over to
-
1st Timothy chapter 4. First Timothy chapter 4.
1 Timothy 4 chapter mention
-
There are deception. There's a deception about the
-
kingdom. We live in a kingdom.
-
The Bible's about a king is King bottles about a king his kingdom
-
and his role Offspring. All right and so I want us to
-
move into some things because how many believe Jesus is going
-
to return. How many believe like
-
everything's an alignment for him to come.
-
I mean everything's on the planet today.
-
Everything. But there's still a word to do
-
and one work to do at this Gospel of the Kingdom, not
-
another Gospel of Jesus, but the gospel of the kingdom is to
-
preached in every nation as a testimony.
-
And the end will come and I can mark off a few Nations because
-
I've been there, preaching, the kingdom myself, okay, I know I'm
-
not the only one. I'm just saying the ones I know
-
I've been to, I say, Lord, you can take Nicaragua off.
-
You can come back, you take the United States off, you can come
-
back, you take polling off, you can come back.
-
These are these are done. This has happened in my
-
generation. Are you hearing me?
-
And things are are are are in the earth today so that God can
-
take up his church and the tribulation of God can manifest,
-
amen. So that God one more time extend
-
Mercy to humanity. I said, one more time.
-
Even in the tribulation, he will extend Mercy but in 1st Timothy
-
Chapter 4 verses 12 to a Maria, the passion translation.
-
It says this the Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed at the end
-
of this age. Say this age, say this age, many
-
But that makes you sad, not glad right here that word right
-
there. Many will depart from the true
-
Faith. One after another, Many.
-
Will depart, which tells us they used to partake, they or wants
-
apart. They were once worshipped in on
-
this stripe, just like you. They were once running around
-
the building just like you. They were once sitting in
-
classes just like you. they were once in a prayer meeting like
-
you, they were once teaching a class like you they were once in
-
pulpits. Are you hear me?
-
And how many will depart? How many now we as the church,
-
we're looking for the Great Harvest.
-
But there's a equal. Great thing that will take place
-
in the end and that is a great departure.
-
I almost liken it to The Exodus. I almost stopped liking it to
-
The Exodus. The Lord sends Moses in to Egypt
-
to deliver his people, right? They have been victims for four
-
hundred and thirty-two years. It was them and it was through
-
that nation that Egypt prospered, like it did because
-
of a guy named Joseph. Right?
-
So much wealth manifested in that Nation because of Joseph,
-
but I Pharaoh rose up. It did not know Joseph and
-
suppress the nation of Israel. And as a result of that, God,
-
after a period of time, and he told this to Abraham, the man he
-
was in Covenant with that, I'm going to send somebody and
-
deliver them away from that Nation.
-
So he goes in with miracles, signs and wonders.
-
I said Miracle signs. They were in a Revival.
-
They were in a move of God That Shook an entire nation.
-
They saw the exploits of God in physical manifestation
-
performing the word. He sent through a man, let my
-
people go. Amen.
-
And so Moses delivers them, brings them through the Red, Sea
-
over to the other side Into the Wilderness and they wash their
-
enemy die. Well, how great was that work?
-
I mean he wants duh, the Israelites to know you'll never
-
have to not rest in your sleeping and be concerned when
-
you're over here that he's coming across to get you.
-
They washed him. Die.
-
Why are we so concerned about the devil still?
-
Christ has full principalities and Powers.
-
He has stripped him of all this power, but we had like that he
-
can come run us down So here they are seeing their enemy die,
-
they know, the ruler can't want nor give commands for them to
-
come after them yet three days in they crying.
-
They just went through a holy ghost Revival That Shook a
-
nation set them. Free broke all their change.
-
I mean, if we sing another song about chain breaking, Because
-
everybody wants to change break only to put chains on
-
themselves. They'll never break a chain off
-
their mind. So crazy breaking the chains.
-
They were changed, they were a chain breaking generation but
-
yet Never renew their mind. So the Lord is like, Moses.
-
These people are stubborn and stiff-necked, their rebellious.
-
This is who I went and got So this is what I'm going to do.
-
I'm going to wipe them out and start with you, I'll just
-
eliminate now. Who's the eliminating?
-
Not the whole nation, the stubborn, the stiff neck, and
-
the rebellious. Now, Moses happened to know how
-
many in his congregation was stubborn, stiff-necked and
-
rebellious. I'm going to say that again.
-
Moses knew how many in his congregation was stubborn stiff
-
neck and rebellious. So he goes to the Lord, he says,
-
if you do that, it will look like a massacre and all the
-
nations are going to draw this conclusion.
-
That you have brought them out, not to free him, but to kill him
-
because it's going to look like you killed everybody.
-
So for your namesake, let's don't do that.
-
The Lord's like fine. Our lemon ate them yearly.
-
He still got rid of it. Just he did it in a process of
-
40 years. I would just eliminate them
-
yearly. because they said I couldn't bring their kids and
-
I'm bringing their kids in they said I couldn't do it, but I'm
-
still going to do it. But they're not going to be
-
there to see it. Now, if you read the number,
-
That came out of Egypt and read the number that went into the
-
promised land. It's extremely close.
-
I mean only a few thousand off. So the Lord in 40 years was able
-
to replace so that the nation looked like it was maintaining
-
the same size. although he was eliminating stubborn,
-
stiff-necked and rebellious people, So, when he says, many
-
will depart from the true faith, I'm wondered, well, the Great
-
Harvest, be the many that depart God's going to replace with
-
someone. In, which means, if you are of
-
The Departed, God's already seeking out your replacement,
-
And guess what? He's going to replace you with
-
somebody. You're not thinking he should.
-
He's going to replace you with someone, you don't think
-
qualifies. Okay, now you can settle day, I
-
am not the Departed. I'm Not The Departed and I this
-
message today, will help you from becoming The Departed.
-
That's what it'll do at Empower you.
-
But again, you can't be empowered about something unless
-
you know what you need to be empowered to He said the Holy
-
Spirit has explicitly revealed, meaning, this is going to
-
happen. You can't stop at no good,
-
sermon or move of God will stop this from happening.
-
No, miraculous move of God. Will hinder this from occurring.
-
It's going to occur many will depart from the true Faith.
-
One after another devoting themselves to spirits of
-
deception and following demon inspired Revelations and
-
theories. Hypocritical Liars will deceive
-
many and their conscious won't bother them at all.
-
Wow. So again this is somebody that
-
was running in the church, you're running in.
-
That was praising in the church. You were praising in.
-
That was serving in the church. Your servant in that was
-
teaching in the church. You're teaching it that received
-
the awards and the and the acknowledgements and the
-
accolades and the church that you're in there will actually go
-
over and still be in church. But into the churches, where
-
there's no sound Doctrine anymore where there's false
-
prophets, where there's false teachers, where they're picking
-
up every wind of Doctrine and appeasement to the world and
-
their flesh. And you will be the subject of
-
their persecution. Same in any way.
-
It's just going to happen. So, how do you guard yourself
-
from being one of the many and what would cause someone who
-
knew true faith? To now be an entertainer of
-
deception. Now, why is it so important?
-
Because it tells me, I don't care how spiritually mature you
-
have become You are not free. From the ability to be deceived.
-
You're not free. Now, that doesn't mean that you
-
can't constantly and everytime not be deceived.
-
You can resist it stand against it.
-
I'm going to show you today. But you can never arrive to a
-
place of spiritual maturity and life.
-
In God that deception could not come to your life.
-
And you fall prey. Because these will be demon
-
inspired Revelations and theories.
-
See, we already know that the most of the church today
-
specially in the United States, especially in the United States
-
are going to be the most susceptible to this is because
-
the only way you're going to truly understand the voice of
-
the holy spirit is to be an actual Avid Reader of the Bible
-
itself. Now, when you're an Avid Reader
-
of the Bible, when I say that I'm not just talking about
-
reading the Bible, check in the box.
-
Like we read the Bible and check boxes because we read the Bible
-
and checkboxes We have a Bible reading plan.
-
We do every year it is you go into that word with the desire
-
and allowing the Holy Ghost to talk to you while you're reading
-
that word. So that not only can he reveal
-
things to you so that you can learn and discover more of who
-
God is but you allow him also to reveal things about yourself and
-
how you can overcome deficiencies in your soul realm
-
that he needs to continue to modify and transform so that he
-
can release all that the spirit of God in you wants to be All
-
right. And so here, if you're not an
-
avid study of the word in rightly dividing, the word of
-
Truth, Then you're already susceptible to demon Inspire
-
Revelations and theories, because there's one, Holy
-
Spirit, but there are a plethora of demonic spirits and they're
-
talking. Now the voice that most people
-
hear Believers and those that are outside, God's kingdom is
-
their flesh. It does enough talking on its
-
own but the enemy will whisper and they are according to the
-
Bible called familiar spirits. I said they're called familiar
-
spirits. Now A Familiar spirit.
-
Is someone as a demon or a unclean spirit that is around
-
situations, they're not like the holy spirit.
-
That is everywhere at all times, they actually have to be there.
-
Okay. Which means if there is an
-
unclean Spirit or familiar Spirit following you, they know
-
what you wore on Tuesday, just like the Holy Ghost does I'm
-
going to say that again. They know what you wore on
-
Tuesday. Just like the Holy Ghost has
-
why? Because this just a fact.
-
And facts aren't always just truth facts.
-
Try to put the Demonic realm in a position so that you would
-
believe you're hearing the spirit of truth because the
-
facts are accurate. Are you hearing me?
-
And when you are not a studier of the word, rightly dividing,
-
the word of truth, then it's easy as you're trying to lean in
-
to be led by the spirit. You can hear other voices.
-
And you're going to have to learn how to discern those.
-
And there's only one way to discern is through having a
-
solid foundation in the word. There will never be a
-
substitution from just studying the word.
-
The church will never arrive to a place that the teaching
-
preaching and study of the word is no longer required.
-
And it is monotonous. It is foundational.
-
It is necessary. It is not glamorous.
-
But it is life-changing. It is the very breath.
-
You should breathe because his word is life.
-
Are you hearing me? So here are those, who once
-
heard the spirit, but because of a issue, have now allowed
-
themselves to hear another voice and it's willing to follow it.
-
And the Bible tells us the many. Many will depart well, what is
-
it? That causes a True Believer
-
filled with the Holy Ghost. Who wants accurately discern the
-
Holy Spirit? To get called up and become
-
subject to this. Well, turn over to Proverbs
-
16:18 proverbs 16:18. Hallelujah.
-
Proverbs 16:18 says it this way. Pride goes before, destruction
-
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
-
Pride goes before, destruction and a haughty spirit before a
-
fall. So what would cause this born
-
again? On fire tongue, talking devil
-
casting out, laying hands on the sick, raising the dead believer.
-
To get into deception. Pride.
-
The passion says this way, your boast becomes a prophecy of your
-
future failure. The higher you lift up yourself
-
in Pride, the heart of you'll fall in disgrace Right.
-
Now, pride has to originate somewhere.
-
And Obadiah tells us where Pride, originates and Obadiah
-
1:3, it says the pride of your heart has deceived you.
-
I said the pride of your heart has deceived you.
-
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Hood, hat, whose
-
inhabitants is high? Who has said, in your heart who
-
will bring me down to the ground.
-
Now, here's the thing. Galatians 6:7 says it this way.
-
Do not be deceived. God is Not mocked, do not be
-
deceived in essence, don't let Pride manifest in your heart.
-
Because you'll move to deception and don't be deceived.
-
Because when you get there, God's not going to be mocked by
-
you. Now, if this was just because we
-
are in the situation we're in and the planet today is the only
-
reason why pride is a problem. Well, you know, I get it, but
-
where did Pride originally show up?
-
And what environment was it? That Pride manifested.
-
Did it start When sin was somewhere?
-
No pride is able to manifest in, perfect Godly environments.
-
Now, let's go back to where pride is introduced and we got
-
to go to Isaiah. In Isaiah.
-
Chapter 14, verse 11. The modern King James version
-
says that this way says your pride is brought down to the
-
grave and the noise of your Harps.
-
The maggot is spread under you and the worms cover you.
-
Verse 12, how you have fallen from the heavens?
-
You have what you have what what comes with pride?
-
Pride comes before destruction and a haughty spirit before the
-
fall you've heard. It said pride comes before the
-
and this is the first recorded fall.
-
And what caused that fall Pride? Pride.
-
Pride pride. This morning star was in the
-
creation of Heaven. Was doing the works of creation
-
was working for the Creator. Yet, all of a sudden, he's
-
fallen from Heaven. Why all shining star son of the
-
morning? You how you are cut down to the
-
ground. You who weakened the nation's
-
for you have said, in your heart, I will go up to the
-
heavens. I will exalt my throne above the
-
stars of God. I will also sit and the Mount of
-
the congregation in the sides of the north.
-
I will go up above the heights of the clouds are will be like
-
the most high yet. You shall be brought down to
-
Hell. From the sides of the pit Jesus
-
said in Luke. He said, I saw Satan fall, like,
-
lightning from heaven. Pride was found in a perfectly
-
created cherub an anointed cherub at that and anointed
-
cherub and anointed cherub. Pride manifested in the presence
-
of all creation and what did prior do Pride have the ability
-
in this one created an anointed cherub that was created by God
-
to have an assignment and to stay in their position.
-
And do what they were created to do was able to convince a third
-
of other created beings. That they could do things better
-
than God. in essence, the word that he Wills that he speaks
-
that He commands, I can do it better.
-
In fact, we shouldn't have to obey it.
-
In fact, let's don't even obey it.
-
Do what I'm saying? And in the realm of Heaven.
-
A war broke out. And Jesus said, hmm, I saw Satan
-
fall like lightning From heaven. When Pride got manifested in
-
heaven, God threw him down. Genesis 1 then God said let us
-
make man in our image, according to our likeness and let him have
-
dominion over the birds of the sea.
-
I mean, over the birds of the sky, over the fish of the sea
-
over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, over all
-
the cattle, over all the Earth. He was making Man In His Image
-
according to his likeness. Are you hear me?
-
The first thing he said, let us make man in our image according
-
to our likeness. First, let him have our image.
-
Let him function and operate like we do.
-
And here's the thing, let man be in our image.
-
The image of God is love. And God always does what he says
-
he will do, because that's what love does.
-
Then he said let them have dominion.
-
Because he's in my image, he can have dominion.
-
Because I always keep my word. Always.
-
Heaven and Earth will pass away but Ma it will never pass.
-
I will always keep my word. Now if you weren't with us at
-
the beginning of the year, we did an exhaustive study about
-
the love of God. And we found that God always
-
does his word. Always.
-
So when man fell, And God said, let us make man in our image,
-
according to our likeness, that was his word.
-
I want man to have dominion, but when man fell from Dominion now,
-
no one's in Dominion. So how can God give man the
-
opportunity to be back in Dominion.
-
He has to send his own son, who then will be mad.
-
Be God wrapped in the flesh. Do the word entirely?
-
And then sacrifice himself, make the payment for the word, he
-
spoke to Adam, Adam, you can eat from any tree of the garden but
-
of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall not eat
-
for the day. You eat, you will surely turn
-
will start verse 1 and it says this.
-
Now, the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field,
-
which the Lord God had made, and he said to the woman, indeed has
-
God said You shall not eat from any tree of the garden and the
-
woman said to the serpent from the fruit of the Trees of the
-
garden. We may eat.
-
But from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the
-
garden, we know that's the tree of the knowledge of Good and
-
Evil. God has said You shall not eat
-
from it or touch it or you shall die and the serpent said to the
-
woman. You surely will that's Pride
-
talking. Because the minute you say
-
something contrary to God, that's Pride.
-
I'm gonna say that again the minute you say something
-
contrary to what God has said, he will do.
-
That's Pride. Because the pride here means to
-
be exalted. So you're exalting your
-
situation or condition and how you should handle it over how
-
God declares you to handle it. well, that may work for you to
-
forgive them, but for me, Pride. Well, that made it work for you.
-
To be healed. But Pride.
-
This is why healing can't get to your life.
-
Well, that may be good for you to laugh, okay?
-
But for me, well, that's called Pride.
-
Just like when we said well be glad and if you couldn't even in
-
the natural go, okay Pride was in the atmosphere.
-
I'm not going to do what he says.
-
The Bible says to be glad. We're only doing scripture here.
-
And he says, you're not supposed to do this scripture when you
-
feel like it, because we're not led by site, where led by faith.
-
Say Amen. Anyway I mean again this whole
-
service is conditioned so that you will put down your flesh,
-
renew your mind and act on the word of God.
-
I mean, if all of a sudden biologist said well danced
-
before the Lord, well does the Bible talk about dancing?
-
Well then whether you feel like that's not you ought to lease
-
go. Well, I mean, do some kind of
-
Shuffle. I mean, how hard is that?
-
But Pride will say, I don't dance.
-
Also, the Lord asks you to do something.
-
You can't do. It's the heart.
-
I mean, there's a whole nother reason why you're actually not
-
doing it. Although I'm going to be the
-
blame or Pastor Marcus is going to be the blame or Pastor Marcy
-
going to be blaming whoever speaking.
-
You don't blame somebody else for your inability to do the
-
word. Know what you doing is you're
-
entertaining. Demon inspired Revelations and
-
theories. Because you can't act on the
-
word today. Hallelujah, just smile.
-
I mean, obviously it would be an embarrassment, really?
-
If I just went down one by one and says smile and see if you
-
would do it. But let me tell you God is Not.
-
He's not mocked. And something this simple.
-
If that bothers you, you got a problem and your sin is
-
crouching at your door now, because pride is starting to
-
elevate in you. that you'll decide when you going to do it,
-
But the many you decide your lord.
-
Your supreme authority your god. Oh, I didn't realize you've
-
created the heavens and the Earth, my bad.
-
No. I mean, this is simple, really,
-
living the word is simple. It really is simple.
-
You just got to hate your old self enough to love your new
-
self, and I love my new self. Way more than I, then I love my
-
old self. I hate my old self.
-
Come on, old self was wicked, wicked, and Bound for a pit.
-
I love my new show because he made me in Christ.
-
He said what I can be, he told me I was big.
-
Glorious. He said I was an overcomer.
-
He said that I had the love of God shed abroad in my heart.
-
And I believe that when I feel it or not and I'll act on it
-
because I'm not going to be the meeting.
-
Who depart from the one true faith.
-
Listen because we just don't look at scripture, right?
-
I mean, literally that day will come Lord.
-
Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name?
-
Then we cast out Devils. Didn't we?
-
He'll say, I don't even know who you are depart from me.
-
I'll know who you are and I'm not talking about throwing in
-
hell. But there may be an invitation
-
to the marriage, supper of the Lamb that you don't make.
-
See, everybody thinks things are automatic is healing automatic.
-
Healing comes by what you better believe and be in faith, that
-
your life and living. Is in the position that when the
-
trumpet blows, you get to go. All right, it's all right I mean
-
do we think that these people here that are going to depart
-
are going to be caught up in the marriage supper of the Lamb?
-
But it doesn't say that they technically are not ever gonna
-
be with God. They just realize dude, I didn't
-
live it. I was full of Pride.
-
I have fallen from the opportunity to be at the
-
marriage supper of the Lamb. Hmm.
-
Yeah, I better Crucify. My Flesh for sure.
-
Now Jesus said, don't think that I've come to abolish the law,
-
I've come to tighten it up, meaning it, you are more
-
responsible in this dispensation than any other dispensation,
-
why? Because you are a new creature
-
in Christ now, and you have the Holy Ghost on the inside of you.
-
And if you can't obey the spirit of God inside you now, and you
-
think that's still a free ticket to heaven.
-
Hallelujah. So he said, she says, you're not
-
going to die. He says verse 44.
-
God knows that in the day. You eat it, your eyes will be
-
open. You'll be like, God, they were
-
already like God knowing good and evil but God knew good and
-
evil. He did, they did not when the
-
woman saw that the tree was good for food and it was a delight to
-
the eyes and that the tree was desirable to make one wise.
-
She took from it, she took from its fruit and ate and she also
-
gave also to her husband with her, and he, and he ate And we
-
call this the fall of, Man. We call it the fall of Man, but
-
why didn't man fall Pride? Because Jesus himself says to
-
the world. Now, when I say the world, the
-
world has two types of people living in it.
-
Those that have no affiliation to any type of actual Devotion
-
to God himself. But then there is another group
-
in the world. That is extremely devoted to God
-
through religion. They are religious and Essence.
-
I can do what you have said on my terms and you have to honor
-
it. That's religion.
-
That's works of religion. Is you actually being lord of
-
the words? He has spoken and you're
-
interpreting it to him. Come on.
-
You hear what I'm saying? Seriously have we not had some
-
business owners that have some employees that you told them,
-
one thing, and then they went and told a co-worker something
-
entirely different And you're like that is not what I said and
-
you have misrepresented me. You have redefined what I said
-
to fit your excuse, To do a work a certain way.
-
They took your words. They said this is what he said,
-
but there's put spun of meaning on that deal.
-
So that it would benefit their own personal loves.
-
And man has done this with God's word from the beginning.
-
From the beginning. So what environment did Adam and
-
Eve fall from what was planet Earth, like?
-
Perfection. No sin on the planet.
-
The Bible tells us in Romans 5 that when Adam ate the fruit
-
through one man's transgression sin entered, the world sin
-
wasn't into. It doesn't matter that the
-
serpent was in the world and that the devil was there,
-
because it he had no literal power.
-
At all no Authority. Only had was a suggestion, a
-
theory, a new revelation. A new revelation.
-
I have a new revelation for you. You've never heard this before
-
but I'm telling you is true. You're not gonna die.
-
Because God knows that the minute you eat this.
-
You'll be like him knowing Good and Evil.
-
And that statement alone, doesn't let us understand the
-
full weight of what was actually rebuild their that Adam himself
-
would say, I'll just rebel against God, I'll do the same
-
action in essence. He had to have the same spirit.
-
That the Morning Star, the King James calls him, Lucifer picked
-
up in his heart. I can do that Aya.
-
Who see telling me what I'm supposed to do.
-
I got some thoughts on my own. Beyond switch.
-
I think they were and you know what?
-
He should listen to me. You know how many years we've
-
been eating every other fruit and there's tons of them had
-
even got to half of them. But you know what who's he to
-
say that? He keeps these for himself, he,
-
I can't have them. Who's he think he is telling me
-
I walk by it every day? It's right.
-
In the middle of garden. He going to remind me and I
-
can't have it. Me, who's he think he is?
-
Now, none of you would say that right?
-
None of you. I never said that out of never
-
said that really who's he think he is not to forsake the
-
assembling of himself together? Who's he think he is?
-
Who's he think he is that? I'm supposed to walk by the
-
spirit. And not deal with this situation
-
in the flesh. He don't know what they did to
-
me. I mean, he doesn't know what
-
they did to you. But you want to handle that
-
situation different than the way he wants to handle it prod.
-
Pride comes before, here's the thing.
-
If you'll recognize, you know what, I'm being prideful right
-
now you can stop before falling comes.
-
I said you can stop before falling comes, but let me tell
-
you, something says, it's as clear as clear can be know that
-
this is going to take place. You cannot sidestepping.
-
You can't be in Pride and not ever fall.
-
Just like you can't sin and it not be found out for your sin
-
will, maybe could happen. But you know what people at like
-
it would maybe not happen. I can get away with it.
-
Because they come in here on the same line and worship God.
-
They praise has raised their hands.
-
Yet on another night, they doing something else.
-
And the Lord in his Mercy, allows him to continue to get in
-
his environment. That doesn't mean he's accepting
-
your alternative behavior, and his grace is allowing you to do
-
it. It means he's just
-
long-suffering. And all the while talking to
-
you. What are you doing?
-
What are you doing right now? You need to quit doing that.
-
Stop doing it if you repent right now I like it never
-
happened. If you repent right now I'll act
-
like it never happened and we can deal with the consequences
-
of your actions. But you're going to have to
-
repent. So it's a perfect heaven
-
environment that Lucifer gets pride in his heart and it's a
-
perfect heaven and earth have iron meet again.
-
That Adam gets pride in his heart.
-
Well now what environment are we in?
-
Unfortunately pride is all around us.
-
I mean it like thrives here in the earth.
-
I mean, it grows without being stopped.
-
I mean, it is amazing. How pride and we already know
-
that it's in the heart of man that has never made Jesus the
-
Lord their life. Why is he not Laura the life?
-
Because of Pride I'm not going to submit to him.
-
You know what how do we know he's the only one.
-
Anyway, You know, I got a God and I'm going to do just fine
-
with that one. Right yet.
-
Paul himself writes to a church that he established The one in
-
galatia, he starts off the letter, you know, he gets
-
through the first couple of chapters, right?
-
And in those two chapters, he talks about how he's been
-
crucified with Christ. It's no longer him who lives,
-
but Christ lives in him. I mean, he's passionate about
-
this new life in Christ and being totally submitted to the
-
lordship of Jesus, because he's King of the Kingdom.
-
I'm not in a religion. So I can't go around thinking,
-
the king is going to yield to my whims.
-
That I get to kind of determine what image I met Jesus.
-
What image do I want to form human in my likeness?
-
This is happening all over the place.
-
Why? Because the Bible says that God
-
empty himself, he became a man and he was tempted on all
-
accounts Like Us in essence. We do not have a high priest
-
that doesn't know our sufferings meaning.
-
He knows everything you feeling right now because he himself has
-
suffered it. But you know what, in his
-
suffering, he did not sin. because he's a man who knows
-
him, which means when he felt like he wanted to get revenge,
-
he did when he felt like he wanted to sleep with someone.
-
He didn't when he felt like he wanted to lie about somebody.
-
He did when he says so I felt like he wanted to talk bad about
-
somebody. He did when he wanted to kill
-
somebody. He didn't When he wanted to say,
-
do you know who I am? Really you going to pull my
-
beard out right now? I bring a legion Angels down.
-
I done told my boys in the garden.
-
You hit me one more time. Oh, y'all want to hear that?
-
I mean, I'm sure you a whole world of people.
-
You hit me one more time and they have the Misa annihilate,
-
the place. But Jesus knew.
-
It's coming. It's just not coming right now.
-
But I'm praying you won't be among the ones that get it, even
-
to his own enemies. He's like, I hope you change.
-
I hope you change and they punch him again and I hope you change
-
and they punch him again. I hope he change and they punch
-
him again. I hope you change and they
-
scourges back. I hope you change and they
-
taking more flesh out. Hope he change.
-
Because then when he looks at him beaten so bad, he can't
-
tell. He was a man totally naked on
-
the cross. He says, forgive them Father.
-
They don't know what they do. He gave up his spirit.
-
And then we go out, like we can't forgive. he says, man, I
-
take your sin and throw it into the Scentsy of It's gone.
-
I don't bring it back to my mom. I know how you feeling.
-
But I know how you cannot sin and how you feeling.
-
And if you don't be prideful right now, I'll give you an
-
answer a way of Escape. but if you're going to be prideful,
-
Fallens coming. It's coming because every time
-
here's the thing, the wicked thing about pride pride has this
-
ability to make you think you're getting away with something.
-
That you're Justified because pride in the root of itself is
-
what I say about this is higher than what God says about this.
-
and if you respond to multiple situations continually having
-
that attitude, then Pride willfully.
-
Take over and you'll be deceived and it'd be easy for the devil
-
to feed you half-truths. You know what half truth is.
-
It's the truth with a little spin on it.
-
That's what he did to Eve. The Bible says he deceived Eve
-
that she was deceived. What'd he do?
-
He said what's God say, is that what he said?
-
Well, okay, I get it but there's one part.
-
I'm going to add a word not because you know what?
-
You really not going to die. I want to know what he said.
-
Pass really not going to happen because here's the deal you'll
-
be like God and she's already heard that.
-
There's something God knows, you don't know, and that's why he
-
won't let you eat the fruit. He's holding out on you.
-
I mean, you're like him but you're not liking. now, if you
-
want to get totally liking, Then you eat the fruit.
-
And how many Believers are constantly doing things contrary
-
to the word and yet they would call themselves humble.
-
Here's one of the most prideful statements ever, you ready?
-
Well, I know the Lord can heal me.
-
I get it. But you know not my will but his
-
will be done. I just want, what's best from
-
the Lord? Who am I to tell God to heal me?
-
Well God said he heal. You.
-
Just receive it. But the enemy has given you a
-
revelation, a theory that you're learning something, because
-
you're special to have this and you actually glorify God more
-
with it. And there's many that are
-
carrying sickness in their lives.
-
As a badge of the Lord. Instead of studying the
-
scripture to find out that in the healthcare system of the
-
Kingdom by his stripes, we were healed and that they can walk in
-
the healing of God for the sake of their purpose.
-
Come on. You hear what I'm saying?
-
So we'll carry things around like we're humble, but the
-
reality is were acting or behaving over allowing things in
-
our lives that are against the word.
-
Well, you know my family, you know, they just get mad.
-
That's just how it happens, right?
-
Me just how happens, you know, it's just part of our you know
-
DNA know you got a new DNA, you're in Christ.
-
Now, the Lord can tell you how to get angry and not sin.
-
Y'all doing. All right.
-
I think I got some dozers. I'm a few worked all night.
-
I get it but you know if you're like, wow I was just got hush up
-
so I can go. Well, you don't have to stay,
-
you can just get a move. Leave it don't bother me.
-
One, bit you walked out of movies before walk out of this.
-
Bother me. I'm not hurt but my life is not
-
in you. But what I'm saying, will save
-
your life. will keep you from being prideful and falling and
-
being part of the many who depart Because it's going to
-
happen. Let's close with Proverbs
Proverbs 8 chapter mention
-
chapter 8, I want to close with this, cuz I'm gonna probably
-
pick this up next week. Now, I've done announced that.
-
So, we'll see how many show up. We might have a mini departed
-
already happened. A mini mini, depart a mini mini
-
have departed. Go ahead.
-
Look at your neighbor. See, who's here?
-
That way you'll know next week. Where is they?
-
Must have failed this week. I'm just kidding again, if that
-
bothers you then there's something wrong with your own
-
heart. Because when you're free in the
-
Lord, man, I mean, you know, listen, I know I'm following
-
God, I love God, I have no issue.
-
The only person income uncomfortable in this room.
-
Today is those whose have has an issue with God.
-
Because again, they don't have an issue with a person because
-
our battles very clear. The Bible says your battle is
-
not against so you can't give me a name that you got a problem
-
with. You don't have a problem with a
-
person. You have a problem with the word
-
of God on how to handle the current situation you're in.
-
That's your problem and you're in proud and you need to get out
-
of your pride and go ahead and yield to the word.
-
He has already given to you on how to handle this situation.
-
Because you're only going to hear this here.
-
You're only going to hear this here.
-
Because I'll never be moved by your situation.
-
But I will say it is. It's written.
-
Hallelujah. Proverbs 8 verse 13.
-
This is good. You want to get out of Pride,
-
here you go, the fear of the Lord.
-
You got to be a person who wants to honor God at his word at
-
every cost. More than hold on to it as a
-
perception of how this thing should go down.
-
According to you, the gospel of you You know, I feel right in
-
their own Gospels. The Gospel According to, no,
-
you're not inspired gospel. Because if your words are not
-
his words than you're not inspired, the fear of the Lord
-
is to hate evil pride and arrogance and the evil way and
-
the perverted mouth. What's this, A who hates this?
-
Now, he say, God, this is talking about wisdom, okay?
-
And obviously wisdom and understanding you should read
-
the whole chapter, be honest with you, you want to help and
-
get ahead for next week. Not that I'm technically going
-
back into this passage of scripture next week but it will
-
help you. You should read this particular
-
one next week to help yourself to put yourself in a position
-
that you don't ever get in Pride and pride Again by its simplest
-
definition. Is you taking a Thoughts and
-
exalting it above God's word, in that situation and doing it
-
instead. You're in Pride and if you keep
-
doing that, you're going to fall because it's producing sin.
-
Because you're doing something contrary to how God says to do
-
it. The fear of the Lord is to hate
-
evil pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverted
-
mouth. I hate.
-
But God is love. Love hates council.
-
Is mine in sound wisdom? My I am understanding.
-
Power is mine. Listen God has delegated, you
-
power and he will allow you to make your own choice but he'll
-
hold you accountable to the words that you are exalting and
-
allowing to govern and Rule your life.
-
And and if those words are not his words, then there's an
-
impending outcome. So, he's saying councils mine.
-
How should I handle this situation?
-
Well, what's the Lord say councils his He's not counsel,
-
he's not Consulting you. So how do you feel about doing
-
it this way? The God is not a psychiatrist.
-
So tell me. How does that make you feel?
-
Now, you know, I would say that you should do this but how does
-
that make you feel? Was that you're uncomfortable
-
with that. Okay, hmm.
-
Well what do you think we should do?
-
And this is the god, most people want the god that they can
-
manipulate with their feelings and hers.
-
I mean, you might as well get that one God.
-
What is it? What's that Miss amida over in
-
India? The the big statue?
-
That's got, like, 36 arms, it's painted black and this the god
-
of Revenge. I know I called you on the spot,
-
there's only three thousand gods in India, okay?
-
So it's not like this is the easy one.
-
What's her name? Shiva.
-
Okay. So which one they pray when they
-
want revenge on somebody? What's her name?
-
Durga. Okay.
-
So they pray, that's what we want.
-
Our God to turn into, I'm hurt. Can you deal with that?
-
Can you go cut them down? You killed that?
-
Yeah. Kali is another name.
-
Jet black. Okay.
-
Yeah. So we're like you know Lord I
-
don't know that I can do that at that made me feel great.
-
So why don't we do it this way? Because I feel better if you
-
just eliminate them from me. Seeing him ever Being around it.
-
Having to deal with that. I mean you know you understand
-
Paul actually ask the Lord to try to handle a couple things.
-
He said I Lord can you uh take care of this and Lord said my
-
grace Is sufficient for you, son.
-
And so don't ask me again to move these.
-
Religious people who keep running behind you and trying to
-
disrupt the word you have. And that's why your glacial
-
church has gone. Crazy is because somebody got in
-
there and now you having to write a letter back to them and
-
say, who has deceived you That you got so prideful.
-
Now thinking you going to tell God how he is the respond to
-
you? And I realize that you want them
-
to, but at the end of the day, listen, I'm not stopping it.
-
Because when a person knows me, that's enough.
-
Because you know what, they'll know, they'll know, it doesn't
-
matter, what happened to you, how happened to you when it
-
happened to you, because I will vindicate, you I will bring
-
Vengeance for you. I will forgive you.
-
But if the one that did it or the multiplicity of all the
-
things that they were happened in your life, if any people try
-
to get, right then, guess what? I'll forgive them.
-
Because if I've forgiven you, you're gonna want them to be
-
forgiven because, you know that the only acting that way called
-
a wicked and if they repent get right then it's better.
-
And we can live in harmony and unity.
-
So if I can forgive you and heal you, it ain't just for you.
-
So he says, counsel is mine and sound wisdom.
-
I am understanding Powers, mod by me Kings reign and rulers,
-
decree Justice by me, princes Rule and Nobles.
-
All who judge rightly? I love those who love me and
-
those who diligently seek me will find me.
-
Hallelujah. So somebody don't know how to
-
handle situation. I'd say you're not seeking.
-
because the scripture says you'll find it, Riches and honor
-
are with me and during wealth and righteousness.
-
My fruit is better than gold even pure gold.
-
I mean, people will walk away from church.
-
But won't walk away from their jobs.
-
They'll put up with bad employees before they'll put up
-
with a congregation member. That makes a mistake.
-
And my yield better than Choice. Silver, I walk in the way of
-
righteousness in the midst of the paths of Justice to endow.
-
Those who love me with wealth that I may feel their treasure.
-
I'm telling you, I just like, give me your word.
-
I want your understand. Now jump down to verse 32 now.
-
Therefore o Sons. That's us.
-
Listen to me, wisdom says for blessed.
-
Are you who key? Who want keep my ways?
-
When are you blessed? When you keep, let me say this
-
when you keep the word your blessed, but if you quit keeping
-
the word the blessing you have will run, its course.
-
And there's many people who aren't keeping the word anymore,
-
but are proclaiming His blessings and they're talking
-
about old ones that arrive when they kept it.
-
And then the devil are the demon inspired Revelations and
-
theories. Begins to woo them off and
-
substitutes. What wisdom will bring naturally
-
wealth. Prosperity and will say listen
-
to me and I'll give you the same wealth.
-
And Jesus said, what good? Is it a man that he gains the
-
world and forfeits his? so, There are many Believers
-
today that aren't keeping his word or enacted on his word are
-
behaving his word but they're shouting.
-
Still there still singing songs but yet they're living like the
-
world their carnal. That's the world, they behave
-
like the world, they respond to situations like the world and
-
then their own self efforts. They call God's blessing because
-
that demon inspired Revelation says God did that for you.
-
And yet, we hate people who sit beside us.
-
We're at odds with our brother. We have division Among Us.
-
Now, I'm not saying here although it can be here.
-
Honestly, it's in every church. Can I just tell you that I would
-
love to tell you that you're all perfect.
-
You're perfect in Christ if you yield to it.
-
Paul said, Demas has left me. Dimas was right there.
-
So my merits all the Miracles, God did through my Ministry.
-
He was right there and the revelations and the teachings
-
that came from the Lord be no, he's loved this present World
-
more and he has left me. Was there one day gone tomorrow?
-
Where'd they go? Where did it go?
-
Where they've been going the whole time?
-
Or they been going under your nose.
-
Now, therefore, All Sons, listen to me for blessed are those who
-
keep my ways he'd instruction and be wise do not neglect.
-
It blessed is the man who listens to me watching daily, at
-
my Gates, waiting at my door post or post we could say Y'all
-
should be looking for God's post instead of yeah.
-
Social media posts because God's posting every day.
-
For he who finds me Fons live and obtains favor from the Lord.
-
But he who, what? Sins against me injures him
-
injures. Who although, they think they're
-
causing harm to everybody else? Now, the only injuring
-
themselves and all those who hate me, love death, well, who
-
hates the Lord, those who don't fear Him, those who will take a
-
thought contrary to God, in a situation and say, I'm going to
-
do it this way, and ain't nobody gonna tell me otherwise, you
-
know, when I know people are in danger, a tanker Faith Church
-
st. Augustine is when they won't
-
meet with me. That's good.
-
They won't meet with me because they know what's going to
-
happen. Well, he's gonna bring that word
-
out. Man, I'm just, I'm not
-
comfortable with that. I'm not comfortable with that.
-
Hallelujah. Just say Amen.
-
Anyway, he's a pastor. I'm not met with you.
-
No problem here. You don't have to meet with me.
-
I get it. I'm just saying if you're going
-
through something and he'll has showed up at your door trial,
-
tribulation is trying to beat down.
-
Everything you are in some of the worst situations in your
-
life and no matter what your personally doing, you can't seem
-
and if you can't come here, Because there's tons in the room
-
that know how this goes down. And the word works.
-
Every time I said in the word works, every time and the word
-
works every time and the word works every time come on into
-
word works every time and the word works every time and the
-
word works every time. Cause you know, I am not taking
-
your sides. I only take one side, its
-
righteousness side. That's the only side.
-
I take a holy take that side and I can't help that that happen to
-
you. I can't help that this happened
-
to you. All I know is this is what God
-
says you can do. And You'll be free and you can
-
run and you can front and you'll have Victory and you'll crush
-
the devil's head. I know it.
-
Because when we move just like today, I'm not here with a bunch
-
of old folks. These are the spirits that
-
should be the most alive if you're mature.
-
You should be the most conditioned to throw off the
-
flesh, jump in with the spirit. You should be the one that is
-
the easiest to be able to worship dance smile.
-
This should be the most predominant group.
-
I don't care that young people are young.
-
They don't mean nothing to me. They can't outdance me in the
-
spirit. They can't out.
-
Shout me in the spirit. They can't outrun me in the
-
spirit. I mean a way more trouble than I
-
am. And you say, Well they're faking
-
appraised. Well, I at least applaud their
-
effort of trying to yield to the spirit because you're not
-
faking. You're hurt.
-
I just happen to know. You are now.
-
Thanks for letting me see it. Why don't you give him me?
-
And I'll give you an answer by the counsel of God to deliver
-
you. Out of all your trouble.
-
That when you're in trouble, you can still laugh.
-
I've had for troubling things. Come my way, this past week for
-
troubling things, their troubling They're troubling.
-
But you know, what can I do? I mean, all I can do is say
-
praise the Lord, but at the end of the day, if God Almighty
-
creates a perfect heaven and a perfect Earth and he cannot stop
-
ride imperfection round, then I can't stop it in the church
-
here. But I can preach in a way that
-
will deliver you so that you have the same opportunity that
-
man has now because the Devil didn't get that opportunity.
-
He wants to be Wicked. He wants to be against God.
-
He'll never be redeemed and he will be cast into the Lake of
-
Fire and all who are prideful will go with him.
-
So if you want to be full of pride, I won't see you in hell.
-
Other than you know, I look over ah I knew it.
-
And you called me a liar. I'm here.
-
No Redemption. When you're in a second death,
-
you understand. It's not like man can I help you
-
out? No.
-
Abraham's like can't send him over guys this is done this
-
settle you on that side. Now, we leaving first.
-
When Jesus dies and when he's resurrect we going with him.
-
But she going to be here for a little while longer and then
-
when they let you go is only for judgment.
-
And everyone that's in hail today or in the grave.
-
Where there's torment is because they're prideful.
-
They let some situation hurt them.
-
And they want their way of changing it instead of the
-
Lord's. Prod manifests, imperfect
-
environments. So Saints.
-
You are not without risk. The only way to guarantee you'll
-
never be lifted up in Pride. Is that this is what the word
-
says. And I'm doing it.
-
I'm Crucify. My Flesh.
-
I don't care how I feel, it's the right thing to do because
-
it's God's way of doing it. And I refuse to be profitable.
-
Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.
-
There's no man comes to the father but through me His
-
Pathway to eternal life and we're all Eternal beings.
-
Now it's the quality of your eternity, you're addressing
-
because the greatest deception in the room today is your
-
breathing. Because you're breathing makes,
-
you think you're alive now, you are alive physically, but you
-
could be dead spiritually. Now, what is dead?
-
Spiritually, you have no relationship with God.
-
Your spirit man is cut off. Because you have been prideful
-
your whole life. What's Pride?
-
You've been doing it your way. Do you know why most mature
-
believers? Fall into pride is because they
-
had an expectation based upon the knowledge.
-
They knew of God to handle a particular situation and he had
-
another way he was going to do it and they're mad at the way
-
he's done it. This is what it sounds like you
-
mean as much all that I've done for you.
-
How I've lived for you, how I've done this.
-
That starts, giving them the resume and what they've done for
-
him. And then you going to let this
-
happen to me. You're going to let that happen
-
to me. I can't believe this.
-
I can't believe you would. Let me go through this kind of
-
hurt. You know, I can tell you what
-
your king saying he is saying. What about me?
-
What did I do to deserve all that?
-
I got? What did I do when I came to the
-
Earth and only healed the sick, raise the Dead, cast out Devils
-
fed, people, close people, delivered, people spoke words of
-
Life, quoted my father prophesied, made things better
-
for people here to lay down my life for them.
-
Cuz I know Victor you still mine, this is temporary.
-
Haven't you learned how humanity is yet?
-
Don't you know that the human Spirit even though Born Again,
-
filled with the Holy Ghost can still Change their thinking,
-
back to the ways of the world and not like their worldly
-
again. And if you know that, then why
-
are you so shocked when it happens?
-
Instead of saying well this is the way to come out.
-
This is the way to change. This is the way to get back in
-
Fellowship. But we're mad.
-
I'm glad Paul didn't say Demas. He's left me seriously.
-
And in the same letter, he went on to say, when I had to defend
-
myself, everybody left me Nobody was there to help defend me when
-
they wanted to kill me. All I've done for you and your
-
churches. And nobody can show up at my
-
trial. He said, but that's alright, God
-
didn't leave me. You know what?
-
I'm not going to leave my purpose because you know what,
-
the sum total of my life is not based upon whether you're here
-
or not some told him my life is in Christ and doing his will.
-
And at the end of the day I forgive you because it doesn't
-
bother me at the end of the day. You're not going to keep me from
-
accomplishing, God's will for my life.
-
That's why Hebrews chapter 13, says obey your leaders who keep
Hebrews 13 chapter mention
-
watch over your soul. And let them do this.
-
With joy and not with grief, for it will be unprofitable for you.
-
Let's just do the word together and it'll be joy, unspeakable,
-
joy, and full of Glory, but if you're not going to do the word,
-
then Pride. And that's why, you know, people
-
get off at the end of the day, they just got full of pride.
-
It's not full Pride. And now they live deceive lives
-
using the word. Thank you so much for listening
