  1. Your Bible's out, wave them around, make Jesus glad in the devil mad.

  2. Say this together, say, heavenly Father, I'm observant of the signs of the times.

  3. I'm fully awake and I see what's coming and I'm not intimidated, I'm not afraid, because Jesus is Lord.

  4. He's my Lord and he's still Lord over all.

  5. I'm here to proclaim his goodness to a lost and dying generation.

  6. I'm here to wake up the church and awaken them to their responsibility and Lord.

  7. We're saying oh Lord, come quickly.

  8. In Jesus name, amen, praise God.

  9. Let's turn in our Bibles, first of all to second Thessalonians, chapter two, and also second Corinthians, chapter four.

  10. I'm going to read to you out.

  11. I don't do this often, but I find the King James and second Thessalonians to be a little bit difficult.

  12. I don't know why the folks that translated it use so many different words to describe one word.

  13. So I'm going to get to the NLT Verse one.

  14. Now, dear brothers and sisters, let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him.

  15. How many of you know we're going to have the rapture of the church.

  16. He's coming.

  17. You know the coming of the Lord is in two parts he's coming for his church and then, seven years later, he's coming with his church.

  18. Amen, it's really important to be on that first load.

  19. Okay, all right, so he's talking to him.

  20. Don't be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun.

  21. Don't believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, revelation or letter supposedly from us.

  22. Don't be fooled by what they say, for that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed.

  23. You know there's, there's, there's.

  24. The first part is already happening.

  25. There's great rebellion, or we are.

  26. You know, the Bible says apostasy, which is apostasy.

  27. It's already apostasy.

  28. It's.

  29. It's more pronounced now than ever.

  30. But the lawless one, who is that?

  31. The antichrist?

  32. He's not revealed.

  33. I'm convinced he's alive.

  34. I believe he's alive on the earth.

  35. I don't know whether he knows who he is or not.

  36. I don't know if he knows what the plans are.

  37. My thinking is probably not, but we're here to hold him back.

  38. So it won't happen until there's a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one who brings destruction.

  39. He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call God and every object of worship.

  40. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.

  41. Don't you remember that?

  42. I told you about all this when I was with you?

  43. And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes.

  44. See, we are holding him back, that's our job.

  45. And so then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with a breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming, hallelujah.

  46. This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.

  47. He will use every kind of evil deception, everybody say, every kind of deception to fool those on their way to destruction.

  48. Because they refuse, because listen to this part because?

  49. Why?

  50. Because those people refuse.

  51. Those people refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.

  52. King James say they're not lovers of the truth.

  53. Then will they be condemned by enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.

  54. Praise God, alright.

  55. And then in second Corinthians, chapter four, pastor, this seems kind of heavy.

  56. No, it's good news.

  57. I mean, I've read the end of the book.

  58. It's good news.

  59. Amen.

  60. Let's not forget the end.

  61. Amen.

  62. Second Corinthians, chapter four, verse three.

  63. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the God of this world, or the God of this age, the God of this age hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

  64. And so today I'm sharing a message entitled Defeating Deception, and let me read to you, out of the linguistic key to the Greek New Testament, its commentary on the meaning of the phrase God of this age.

  65. Well, it's the devil.

  66. Well, yeah, it's the devil, but it's more than the devil.

  67. Let's listen to what the Greek really means.

  68. It means all that floating mass of thoughts, opinions, maxims, speculations, hopes, impulses, aims and aspirations that are at any time current in the world.

  69. Well, pastor, that doesn't seem so bad, no only when it's ungodly things that they're hoping.

  70. I mean, they're hoping to have no borders, they're hoping to have a one-world government, they're hoping to have a one-world economy.

  71. They're hoping and saying that everybody's going to march to the same tune and if the people that don't want to march to that tune, they're going to marginalize them or even kill them.

  72. Oh, they don't say that, but that's what they're going to do.

  73. That's their intention.

  74. Things like critical race theory I don't know what that is.

  75. Well, you need to get up to speed.

  76. Your children are being taught this.

  77. You better know what's being said in your school, where you're going.

  78. Your kids are going to school.

  79. You better find out, because if you go to sleep at the wheel, your kids will be lost before they you can say snapple, transgender rights, green energy, the January 6th violent insurrection.

  80. Well, we know that's a lie.

  81. Well, see, that's the God of this age.

  82. They keep saying it.

  83. They know it's a lie and they don't care.

  84. They just keep making the lies bigger and greater.

  85. And a whole lot of the church is just joined right in with them.

  86. Lily Leverd, cowards, they, lgbtq, I mean, it's just like what planet are you on?

  87. Of course, of course we're going to celebrate.

  88. We're going to have a rainbow flag, our embassy's all over the world, rainbow flags, black Lives Matter, black Lives Matter flags.

  89. Marxist organizing has nothing to do with loving black lives.

  90. Nothing to do.

  91. If you say all lives matter, you're a racist.

  92. All lives matter, all lives matter.

  93. How about babies?

  94. Lives matter.

  95. How about babies?

  96. Lives matter, amen, of course.

  97. The abortion industry.

  98. Isn't it amazing that they call it planned parenthood.

  99. It's planned murder is what it is Murder for the convenience.

  100. You know we've got our one of our, dr Oliverson.

  101. Tom Oliverson is Tom Ball State Rep, and James had a long talk with him a couple of months ago about getting behind outlawing all abortions because he was so proud of the heart beat bill which they did pass and I'm glad they passed something.

  102. But it's not enough and good is the enemy of best.

  103. And so that was the James was talking to him really hard and so he signed on to eliminate.

  104. He signed his name on the last day he signed his name on the bill to eliminate abortion in Texas.

  105. And you know what convinced him?

  106. Our children.

  107. We had.

  108. We had 28 people, 28 or 26, 20, whatever on that day here a couple of months ago in the Capitol, and the children went by and talk to them, to them, and each of them wrote them letters.

  109. And when he read the letters he said how can you explain to a child it's okay to kill a baby and it's not okay to kill an adult?

  110. I can't do this anymore.

  111. See, he's a doctor, he ought to know better.

  112. But he was what the God of this age had blinded his.

  113. Well, no, pastor, that's for unbelievers.

  114. You know, every believer has a few unbelief agents in there.

  115. There's things that we're not really fully walking in, if we're honest, you know, we don't all have the same revelation about health and healing.

  116. We don't all have the same revelation about righteousness, and some of us battle with our conscience.

  117. We're battled with sin consciousness.

  118. We battle with our past.

  119. Oh, I'm paying for my.

  120. See, if you hang around here long enough, that stuff will get knocked off of you, but not everybody's at the same speed.

  121. And whenever you've got something in your covenant that you're not walking in, there's a place where you can be deceived and the devil can come.

  122. The God of this age will blind your mind.

  123. Good people are been taken in by these phrases and these maxims and these ideas.

  124. They're from the pit.

  125. We've got to battle and defeat this deception.

  126. These right to vote laws.

  127. Stacey Abrams said all these laws that we're gonna clean up the voting, you know, making sure that everybody's got a voter ID.

  128. The voter ID is just the same as old Jim Crow laws.

  129. What a lion.

  130. How can she say total opposite of everything that woman says is the opposite.

  131. It's the opposite of truth, in fact, really the Democrat party everything they say is opposite of truth and half the Republican party, because they're rhinos.

  132. Well, you don't.

  133. There's no hope?

  134. Yeah, there's, we're talking about it.

  135. We're the ones with the power.

  136. We're on the side of the one who has all the power.

  137. Let's not be making ourselves into victims.

  138. We're in awe.

  139. We're victors.

  140. So there's a couple of things that happened at the last part of President Trump's you know time and office that I think were a debacle.

  141. I haven't said anything publicly much, but I'm gonna say it today, starting today.

  142. I'm not on board with him being the next president.

  143. I don't know yet.

  144. I don't know if God's choice is there or not.

  145. I do know that God's hand came off of him in the final year of his administration for two reasons.

  146. Number one the Abraham Accords, peace in the Middle East.

  147. And I've been saying this for four years, if you've heard me.

  148. I've said leave that alone, but I guess my voice didn't get that far and I guess what Christian voices he had around him had no revelation of how serious God takes the land of Israel and how that you cannot bargain the God's land away for peace.

  149. You cannot do it, and everyone that's ever done.

  150. It has wound up in oblivion.

  151. All the Jewish leaders that did it and all the American presidents that did it.

  152. They've all ended up in oblivion and in disgrace and dishonor, every one of them and so.

  153. And then the other one.

  154. That was a terrible, terrible thing, I think, because he wouldn't or didn't have the right.

  155. He's a baby Christian at best.

  156. He needed mature, bible-believing, spirit-filled people around him that have a command of the end days, and there's some of them that check a few of those boxes, but the end day part of it they're ignorant of.

  157. I made it my business to get up to speed 21 years ago with it all, and there are others like me, but I don't know that they have the president's ear, so he pursued a deal.

  158. Well, there's no deal to be made to Antichrist Because of these Abrahamic chords.

  159. All these, the United Arab Emirates, saudi Arabia they're all marching in the door and they're signing up because of money, money, money.

  160. They don't care about Israel.

  161. They're gonna kill them, they lie, they hate them and they'll sign anything if it means they get a financial advantage.

  162. You can't trust what they say and, besides that, the people that are right there, hamas and all of them.

  163. There's no peace to be had.

  164. They make no bones about what they want.

  165. So our president was ill-served and I believe when he did that, god's hand turned against him and he had confusion, so that when it came up with the COVID-19 debacle, he chose to let the swamp dictate what happened and we lost all the gains that he had made for four years.

  166. That's not as important as the first one, but it did cost him the election.

  167. Oh, but it was stolen.

  168. Well, I think that's true, but how can that happen If God's hand is on?

  169. You See, no one gave him a prayer in 2016.

  170. Nobody, oh no, he can't possibly win.

  171. Well, he won why?

  172. Because God's hand was upon him.

  173. I'm for his policies.

  174. I think he did a great job.

  175. I like America first, I like all those things, but where it really counted, with Israel, I mean, he loved Israel.

  176. I know he does, but he was misguided.

  177. Are you with me?

  178. Amen.

  179. We have a covering over this country and he, as the leader of our country, blew a big old hole in it.

  180. And then then so you have warp speed, and he's still bragging on warp speed.

  181. Warp speed was the rollout of the vaccine program, the vaccine, the same vaccine that's using fetal body parts as part of its makeup, the same vaccine that was killed all the animals in the trials.

  182. If you took the vaccine, I'm not pretty sure you'd have any of that.

  183. I'm pronouncing doom and gloom over you.

  184. I'm just saying let's get in the word and make yourself exempt from the secondary effects of this stuff, because we really don't know what we've got.

  185. And he's still bragging on it.

  186. He's still taking credit for it, which tells me he's still deceived.

  187. That's not the recipe for a second term Pastor.

  188. You're against?

  189. No, I'm not against him.

  190. I'm only for the man that God has, or woman, if there is one.

  191. I want God's side on this thing.

  192. Well, it's just 2021.

  193. I know it goes by real fast.

  194. We've got 2022 coming right up and listen, we're going to have some choices to make and there are going to be some of these choices going to be kind of hard to make and I'm committed myself to lead you in the right choices.

  195. I'm going to make sure everything that we do is backed up by the Holy Ghost and not necessarily political expediency or personal likes and personal dislikes.

  196. I mean, you know, what we've got to have are the kind of people that Trump started out being.

  197. I mean he was unashamed.

  198. He was the best friend the church had until he wasn't.

  199. And again, I don't blame him.

  200. I'm not blaming him.

  201. I'm saying he just didn't have the right people around him.

  202. Or y'all with me now, y'all are stunned, y'all are stunned.

  203. So I knew you probably would be stunned.

  204. You might even be mad, I don't know.

  205. It's okay, you won't be the first people that got mad at me.

  206. I mean, I had a guy call me and my own office called me a jackass one time.

  207. So you know I have thick skin.

  208. Praise God, thick skin, tender heart.

  209. So today is the 77th anniversary of the D-Day invasion and this is something that God talked to me about for I don't know how long.

  210. I guess since the beginning I've always been a student of World War II, but that invasion was the greatest land invasion ever in history, before our sense.

  211. God's intervention is no question.

  212. God intervened because of all the mistakes and poor strategy and bad timing and everything else you can think about poor equipment, you name it.

  213. They had it and yet they were victorious and it led in just a few more months, less than a year later, to removing the Nazi flag and Hitler from Europe.

  214. But deception was a huge part of that battle, as it is with almost every military battle.

  215. There's a message I could preach here today, developing a military mindset.

  216. I couldn't decide between defeating a deception or a military mindset.

  217. I kept going back and forth.

  218. So maybe I'll preach the other at some other time, but for now we need to realize that we're soldiers in a battle and the war has been won.

  219. But this battle is raging and Satan is outraged.

  220. He's angry because he knows his time is short.

  221. Listen.

  222. He's dumping out all his strategies, and deception is always a strategy in wartime For the allies.

  223. What did we do?

  224. Well, we knew that they would suspect that we would do the invasion of France at the Pate, calais, which is the nearest part of the English Channel and where our spies, let us know Hitler was convinced of that.

  225. His generals weren't, including the Desert Fox.

  226. He was not convinced.

  227. In fact, he was convinced it would be at Omaha Beach, normandy.

  228. But he got outvoted and wound up killing him.

  229. You know, the Fuhrer was demon possessed.

  230. His generals all knew that he was not a good military leader at all.

  231. He didn't know anything about military tactics.

  232. That's the way these people are.

  233. That's the way Joe Biden.

  234. He doesn't know squads.

  235. They don't know anything.

  236. They're stupid people.

  237. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

  238. Don't say that word.

  239. My grandkids are here, I know, I understand, there's no other word anyway.

  240. Well, there's a few other words, but we won't say those in church.

  241. But they, you know.

  242. Again we had a general Eisenhower.

  243. Most people call him a hero, I call him a one-worlder, I call him a rhino, and he played footsie with Stalin, thought Stalin was okay.

  244. I mean, what's the?

  245. You've got Nazis and Congressmen, you've got Nazis and communists.

  246. They both are murderers.

  247. Why do you want to help the Russians?

  248. But he did, and the lone voice against it was Patton, and he got in his doghouse and he used him as a decoy.

  249. I mean, the greatest general of the war.

  250. And they put him as a decoy and just used him.

  251. So, oh, they're getting that army ready.

  252. It's gonna come across the Potty Collet.

  253. And they had fake airplanes made out of plywood and inflatable tanks made out of air balloons and stuff.

  254. It was amazing, a whole army of fake weapons.

  255. And then they leaked it out and let the Nazis realize that it was over there getting ready to come across, and when all the time the real plan was to come across to Normandy.

  256. So we're in the final stages of a campaign that the devil knows.

  257. He knows the Bible says he's gonna lose, but he's not accepted that and he is pulling out all the stops and the people that belong to him are of that nature.

  258. We cannot trust them at all.

  259. Don't believe anything any Democrat says or any Rhino says.

  260. See well, there's no hope.

  261. Yes, there's hope.

  262. We are supposed to occupy till he comes.

  263. We're supposed to restrain the people in this deception.

  264. We're supposed to put a stop to it.

  265. That's what I'm talking about today.

  266. We know that end is gonna come.

  267. I mean, the Antichrist is gonna rise up.

  268. We're gonna get out of here and the whole world's gonna have apocalypse.

  269. We know that.

  270. We've read our Bible.

  271. We know we can't stop that from happening.

  272. We can stop it from happening until it's time for it to happen.

  273. Are y'all with me now?

  274. So we're not afraid of the devil.

  275. We have to defeat deception now in these last days.

  276. So these unbelieving folks, even people in the church, the God of this age is blind in their minds.

  277. So I came across something that I wanted to read you, because on this very day eight years ago, I went to Galveston to pray.

  278. So that was 6'6, 2013.

  279. We've been doing this a long time.

  280. We've been preaching like this a long time.

  281. This ain't our first rodeo.

  282. This ain't even our first crowd.

  283. We've had crowds bigger than this that didn't like any of what I'm saying, and they've now headed to a dead church.

  284. I guess I don't know where they went.

  285. I don't care.

  286. I do care, but my main job is to do what God tells me to do to preach the truth, because the church is the pillar and ground of the truth.

  287. If we don't hear the truth here, where is it going to be heard?

  288. Yes, yes, yes.

  289. So it was early on a Friday morning, 6'6, 13.

  290. And I knew what day it was, you know.

  291. And I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Galveston, where I always stayed, got out on my balcony at daylight and they happened to be raising the flag out in front of the hotel right at daylight.

  292. And I mean, holy Ghost came all over me, I started weeping and I started saying the pledge.

  293. I just pledged allegiance to the flag and the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and gave me a word and it says my plan for America was that the ideals on which it was founded take the preeminence in the earth and that those who live there and who are elected to office should hold these ideals and this nation in honor and preference, to rise above all others.

  294. No other flags were raised because people who came here needed to adapt, adopt these ideals, so that my blessing to be here would be on them.

  295. Yes, notice what the Holy Ghost said my blessing to be here, amen, would be on them.

  296. Yet we have.

  297. You have people both in government and in the population who have no honor either for this nation or its ideals.

  298. They blame America for all sorts of things, wrongly.

  299. There is living of America.

  300. If there's not a return, it will perish.

  301. Well, there hadn't been a turn, that's eight years ago.

  302. God warned me like this In 2001, 9-11, he warned me, nation needs to repent.

  303. It didn't.

  304. It built bigger.

  305. It built a bigger tower.

  306. It raised its collective fist to God and said we're gonna come back stronger.

  307. Oh, let's not blame the people that did this.

  308. We're guilty.

  309. We deserved it.

  310. We've done something to make them hate us.

  311. Bush said.

  312. George W, we all worship the same God, I screamed at my television.

  313. No, we don't all worship the same God.

  314. This lie has been perpetrated.

  315. It's just all equal, everything's equal.

  316. Everything's the same, no matter where you are.

  317. This is what God said.

  318. Well, that's not in the Bible.

  319. Well, I know it's in my heart.

  320. That's all I can give you is what he gives me.

  321. So continue to stay in your place, watch, pray and stir up the people to do the same.

  322. I used America to remove the Nazi flag and restore the European nations and even to rebuild Europe.

  323. Normandy loves and reveres you to this day.

  324. This is my plan, but America and the church have drifted from its purpose.

  325. And then a fresh man will fell on me and new seat of authority, he said I knew.

  326. Seat of authority to watch over these things.

  327. I've given you influence over.

  328. Influence has increased, vision is sharper, equipment is made new, seating is sure.

  329. I'm calling you to increase vigilance over those things that I will show you Inside, into activities in the spirit realm that are behind what's going on in the world scene.

  330. And as you obey, in all these things, I and I alone will cause the growth and increase to come.

  331. We'll let the record state that the next year, we got involved with Houston area pastors council.

  332. We went downtown and we opposed the bathroom bill.

  333. And then, if you just look back, ever since 2013.

  334. Of these last eight years, there's been an increase.

  335. It's just exactly what God said.

  336. There's been an increase in our visibility.

  337. There's been an increase in our authority.

  338. There's been an increase in people listening to what we're saying and that's not me, that's God.

  339. That's what God said, I'll tell you.

  340. It just gives me chills to think what God has done in this church, and I thank you.

  341. I look out on the crowd and I see newer faces, and I see some good, solid faces from the past and you've stayed with us through thick and thin, and now the new ones have come, and you know what?

  342. It's more than me.

  343. It takes this church.

  344. This church is a beacon of truth.

  345. Amen.

  346. It can't stand without you all hooking in.

  347. You have to hook in.

  348. I mean, listen, we've got to hang together unless we hang separately, amen.

  349. So let's get back to second Thessalonians too.

  350. Did that bless you?

  351. It blessed me.

  352. When I found it, I forgot it.

  353. I can't remember everything.

  354. I try to write stuff down.

  355. I used to journal more faithfully than I do now, but when I came across this, I hadn't seen it in years and I teared up all over again.

  356. I relived it and I realized, looking back on how far God has brought us together.

  357. What we're doing is important.

  358. What we're doing is vital.

  359. What we're doing is needed, amen.

  360. So second Thessalonians, which happens to be an end time book, talking about the end times.

  361. And so how can we hinder the secret deception?

  362. He says the secret is going on behind, and so that was 2000 years ago.

  363. Well, it's not behind closed doors anymore, folks.

  364. I mean, it's out there for everybody to see, and some people don't see it yet.

  365. Have you ever wondered what in the world?

  366. I can't help it, I can.

  367. You know.

  368. I see perfectly healthy 20-somethings with a little baby with her masks on outdoors walking around the park.

  369. Are you stupid Really?

  370. What are you afraid of?

  371. My God.

  372. Well, I'll tell you.

  373. This is the whole way the devil works.

  374. He creates crises and the fear of the crises.

  375. Oh God, do anything.

  376. I don't give anything.

  377. Please take away the fear, take away the crisis.

  378. I don't wanna die.

  379. People in the depression.

  380. That's what they said.

  381. Please, Mr Roosevelt, I've got a vote for you.

  382. I'm treading on a sacred cow.

  383. Now Some of you at a certain age, you might be tempted to throw something.

  384. Is there any rocks in here?

  385. Please Make sure.

  386. I'll even vote for a socialist like you, somebody that's so rich and disconnected from my situation, but it doesn't matter, he's gonna give me something, right, right.

  387. He's gonna give me a good paying job building dams where I can fall to my death.

  388. Get paid minimum wage what was it?

  389. 25 cents an hour or something?

  390. Yeah, we've been given our freedom away for a long time.

  391. Right, you know, he's the same one that went through the Japanese American community.

  392. These were people that had been living here for decades, these were citizens of America and they got.

  393. Just because they're Japanese, they just got turned around.

  394. They lost their houses, they lost their businesses, they lost everything and they were shipped off to internment camps.

  395. But nobody's ever celebrating that.

  396. Instead, we celebrate a race ride in Tulsa 100 years ago.

  397. That takes the.

  398. We gotta celebrate this kind of garbage.

  399. Yeah, it happened.

  400. Why are we celebrating?

  401. Why are we remembering that?

  402. Can't we get on down the road?

  403. It's not 1920.

  404. Nobody's being lynched.

  405. Yeah, it happened.

  406. I mean, everybody knows it happened.

  407. Why do we have to really make calls?

  408. It's the narrative.

  409. They don't want you to focus on the history of what actually happened and has been happening under Democrat rule for decades and decades and decades.

  410. We have to be lovers of the truth.

  411. Bottom line Proverbs 23, 23,.

  412. Buy the truth and sell it not.

  413. I get this all the time, pastor.

  414. I don't.

  415. I wish you.

  416. I wish you were closer to me.

  417. Do you know a good church?

  418. No, I don't know a good church.

  419. Don't ask me that I know this church.

  420. This is a good church.

  421. It's worth you driving, however far it takes.

  422. We got people driving from Sealy.

  423. They go.

  424. Oh you, pastor, I've got my church clothes.

  425. I know a good church in Cat Spring?

  426. No, I don't.

  427. You a good church in Lamarck?

  428. No, I don't.

  429. So people drive here from Beaumont and from where it's worth the drive.

  430. Why, if your life depended on it, would it be worth the drive?

  431. This is the problem.

  432. They don't think their life depends on the truth, and it does.

  433. Buy the truth and sell it not.

  434. Also, wisdom, instruction and understanding, which means revelation, not head knowledge, and don't allow anyone or anything that calls you to compromise.

  435. So the Antichrist spirit is working now and he's out in the open.

  436. So that tells you the lateness of the hour.

  437. This book was written in the days 2000 years ago, when he was behind the scenes.

  438. It was hidden.

  439. Nobody knew he was at work.

  440. It's like termites.

  441. You don't know you got termites until a wall falls down.

  442. You know.

  443. Your picture falls off the wall, the sheet rock is completely eaten out and the stud behind it is powdered.

  444. Oh, a good termite.

  445. Whew, yeah, you've had termites for about 10 years.

  446. They work behind the scene.

  447. Until they work behind the scene anymore.

  448. Hey, listen, they're showing themselves.

  449. That's how far down the road we have come.

  450. We don't have it about that much longer.

  451. When will it be an emergency to you?

  452. It's a good question For some people.

  453. They just think, man, I'll keep looking for a good church, but keep on looking, because they're dying like flies.

  454. They're just, they're falling apart and what's left is absolute garbage.

  455. The Ichabod has been stamped on over the door, which means the glory departed.

  456. So the more deception, the bigger the audience to succumb to it, and so I want you to see verse 11.

  457. We're at verse 10, with all deceitfulness of unrighteousness I'm reading the King James again because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved.

  458. Well, you know, again we think saved and go to heaven, but we're talking about saved in the fullest sense of the Word.

  459. A full gospel church means more than saved, means healed, protected, supplied, delivered from danger, all those things.

  460. And so they receive not the love of the truth.

  461. So some people don't love the truth enough to drive where it's being preached.

  462. Can we just say it like that?

  463. It's not a big enough emergency.

  464. You have it.

  465. Really.

  466. You have not analyzed the situation and sufficiently to realize that it's the alarm clock is going off and Time is about to change.

  467. You have, but there's a whole lot of people that belong here that hadn't got here yet.

  468. I mean, this message is going out all over the world.

  469. I'm talking to you.

  470. I mean, you know what, if, if you like what you're hearing, you know what I do, I'd buy me a ticket and get here.

  471. I'd move here.

  472. Lots of people are moving here.

  473. Pretty good place to live.

  474. It's not great but it's pretty.

  475. It's better than California.

  476. We got a California transplant.

  477. He can tell you it's a whole lot better than California.

  478. Are y'all with me now?

  479. And so look at this verse, this you got to look at this verse.

  480. This is so powerful and I'm gonna wrap this up and For this cause what cause?

  481. The fact they didn't love the truth for this cause, the devil shall send them strong delusion.

  482. No, the devil has already been sending them strong delusion.

  483. The God of this age has been at work, first behind the scenes, and then they found out they had termites, and then they found out there's some crises.

  484. Then they found, but then now they have not ever really done anything to investigate what's really going on, and and and.

  485. So now it's almost too late.

  486. And now what has happened is they're so late that God himself is gonna send them strong delusion.

  487. That's where we are right now.

  488. You thought delusion was strong and you know, hundred years ago, 150 years ago, you think delusion was strong in World War two?

  489. You think delusion was strong.

  490. The Vietnam War?

  491. You think that?

  492. Listen, delusion hadn't even got started yet.

  493. Because God is God is clicking.

  494. He's bringing the delusion.

  495. Why is he do that?

  496. He wants them to believe a lie that they all might be damned, who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

  497. Now, when you look up the word unrighteousness, see we.

  498. You think sin, you think Rainbow flag, you think whatever you think you be surprised what it really means.

  499. It means the word unrighteousness there.

  500. The Greek means Legal injustice, false judges.

  501. I mean, just think about those white edged sepulchres that found abortion in our Constitution 1973, roe v Wade.

  502. And there are people that will, just like a little stupid girl that's valedictorian in Dallas, threw away her valedictory address and railed on Abbott because of the heartbeat bill, like she's personally offended.

  503. Here we're growing a girl 17, 18 years old that has no love for humanity.

  504. She can't even reason the fact that if you're for death like that, then why did your parents let you live?

  505. She doesn't have an intellect that can connect the dots.

  506. This is what we produced in our public school system For this call she'll.

  507. God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie that they all might be damned who believe not the truth.

  508. It had pleasure and false and Illegal and unfair or legal injustice.

  509. Having boys run against girls and sports and be in their locker rooms that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

  510. It it makes.

  511. It defies logic, defies every kind of description, but it's happening.

  512. I kind of like DeFantis he told the NCAA where to go.

  513. Wasn't very Christian like, but I don't know.

  514. Think we might have to have a little saltier, tougher outrage.

  515. How about outrage?

  516. Wouldn't be wrong to have outrage.

  517. They didn't love the truth and they had pleasure in the court.

  518. Legal injustice how about the elections?

  519. Can't even get the Supreme Court.

  520. Three of the members that we prayed for, voted for, advocated for Trump appointed.

  521. They were nowhere to be found and silenced.

  522. The voices of 75 to 85 million voters Didn't even want to look into it.

  523. Oh no, there's no proof.

  524. Well, that's what the court is there to look at.

  525. You're not even making legal sense and I'm not a legal scholar, but I know you're full of beans.

  526. So I don't have pleasure in those kind of judges.

  527. I don't care what they said they were.

  528. I don't care if they said that they were strict constructionists.

  529. I think they're strictly out to lunch.

  530. Amen, amen, amen.

  531. So you have crisis.

  532. Everybody say crisis, which produces fear, produces fear.

  533. And then you have the paragraph.

  534. Yeah, the paragraph says give me your rights and I'll cure the problem for you.

  535. It goes all the way back to the Great Depression.

  536. We've had this system of lies, lying politicians, and every time there's a fear.

  537. And yeah, it was a terrible time, but it could have gone just like that.

  538. He just used it as a chance to bring socialism into the country.

  539. And so then, when the war started, we were 17th militarily in the world.

  540. How did we get to be number one Socialism?

  541. Government took over our industries, took over the cars, took over the airplane manufacturers.

  542. They all worked for the government and they got rich.

  543. And the workers were overworked.

  544. Women got in the workspace.

  545. How's that turned out?

  546. Has it helped society for women to have to work 50, 60, 80 hours a week and not be mommies, not keepers of the home anymore?

  547. They're just out there, worker bees, worker, worker bees.

  548. I'm telling you right now it's destroyed and helped to this.

  549. I know dishonor to those of you that work.

  550. I'm not saying you've had, I'm just saying that's just where we are and that's what socialism does.

  551. It robs you of the Word of God, it robs you of God's plan.

  552. In return for a little, you know.

  553. Okay, I'll stay home, I'll go broke, I'll close my restaurant.

  554. Yeah, I'll wear a mask indoors.

  555. I'll wear a mask driving down the street by myself.

  556. I mean, the dashboard might give me COVID.

  557. I think the steering wheel is in.

  558. I could see them.

  559. I can see them.

  560. You laugh.

  561. But that's what deception God is sending, the deception.

  562. Now.

  563. That's what we have looked forward to.

  564. What's the next?

  565. I wanna say something.

  566. Just make sure you're gonna blow your mind here and I'll quit.

  567. I can only go so far in one sitting.

  568. What's everybody talking about?

  569. All of a sudden, now we're talking about all these things.

  570. George Floyd Day, you know.

  571. Let's have George Floyd's parents at the White House.

  572. That's another.

  573. Psyops psychological operations for those PsyOps is what it's all about right now.

  574. If they don't have a video, they can make the video.

  575. Have you ever watched the Gladiator?

  576. They made Rome.

  577. They made the Roman Coliseum, they made you know when the Gladiators roll into Rome in that movie.

  578. I don't know if you've ever watched it, but you've made in 2000.

  579. They had the technology in 2000 and you think you're looking at the Roman Coliseum.

  580. I mean, that's how real it looked.

  581. The birds are flying away, the people in the little windows and the waving and the crowd is waving.

  582. It's all digital.

  583. They can make whatever they can make it look like there was an insurrection.

  584. Well, we know that the Capitol cops invited them in.

  585. There was no insurrection.

  586. The only person that died was a poor lady from you know, a veteran.

  587. That's the only death that happened on our side.

  588. Maybe they shouldn't have gone in, but it certainly wasn't an insurrection.

  589. It wasn't an attempt.

  590. They tried.

  591. They called it an attempted coup.

  592. No, they had the attempted coup all during 2016, 17, 18.

  593. Are y'all with me now?

  594. So the next thing now they're talking about now the military.

  595. They force the military.

  596. We want the proof of the UFOs, we wanna see it.

  597. So now you're seeing UFO footage, you're seeing all this kind of thing.

  598. They want people.

  599. Really they do.

  600. The next push is to get you afraid of a UFO invasion, alien invasion.

  601. We have all the Hollywood attempts and you know you go to the movies, you see War of the Worlds, you see these horror flicks and stuff and it's just kind of mild entertainment.

  602. But you know, it's just about that far, to where they're gonna start putting it out there as fact.

  603. How much of your rights will you freely give them if they'll agree to protect you From these alien invaders?

  604. Pastor has lost his mind.

  605. I don't believe in any of it.

  606. I believe it's all bunk.

  607. If anything, it could be demon powers.

  608. If anything it could be just a demonstration of the end days.

  609. I mean, god said I've kept these angels in bondage until the last Book of Revelation says those chains come off and those beings come up out of the Euphrates and all of that kind of stuff.

  610. I mean we could be looking at some of that that could explain it.

  611. But UFOs, psh, all right, defeat, deception.

  612. Four things.

  613. Number one let's love the Word of Truth.

  614. Love it, follow it, allow it to govern your life.

  615. Jesus is Lord, so that means you're going to be able to do it.

  616. Jesus is Lord, so that means the Word of Truth is Lord.

  617. Make it the Lord of your life.

  618. But everything that you hear, everything you see, line up with the Word of Truth.

  619. If it doesn't, you know, smell right.

  620. Something's wrong with this picture.

  621. That's the Holy Ghost showing you.

  622. Number two be filled with the Spirit of Truth.

  623. Ephesians 5, 18, be not drunk with wine whereas in excess.

  624. Don't be drunk on entertainment, don't be drunk on distraction and all of that, but be filled, be being filled, be continually and habitually filled with the Holy Ghost.

  625. Who is what?

  626. The Spirit of Truth.

  627. Because you have the Word of Truth and the Spirit of Truth, you're much less likely to ever be deceived.

  628. I mean, the devil can't get this stuff past you.

  629. And number three fellowship with believers as much as possible.

  630. You know, you might have to just start backing out some of the obligations you have around people that are well Pastor.

  631. You just mean I shouldn't know.

  632. I'm just saying prioritize your fellowship with believers of like precious faith.

  633. I mean that's really important right now.

  634. We need to get closer together, we need to be accountable to each other, we need to know what's going on in each other's life.

  635. So when one falls down a little bit, he's got somebody that's been hearing the same kind of preaching picking back up and finally find a place to serve and be a part of something greater than yourself.

  636. And I wanted to make the case today that we've been doing this a long, long time and we had an altar call with.

  637. Pastor Perfetto was here, the altar filled up with people that were making themselves available to do something, but we haven't heard from all of you.

  638. So let us hear from you.

  639. Well, I don't know what we can discover exactly what it could be together.

  640. We want to sit with you when I talk to you, find out what it is that you do and what you want to do, and let's find a place.

  641. Because if we all get together and get in place I know some of you have great work outside the church, I understand that, but then most of us are in a category where we could do something.

  642. We could do something if we just knew what to do.

  643. Well, that's what we're here to help you find.

  644. We're here to help you find that it's so important because this church will not succeed in its mandate without all of us getting knit together in love.

  645. Amen, lift your hands and receive.

  646. Defeat deception.

  647. Praise God, defeating deception.

  648. Everybody say.

  649. I'm determined to defeat deception Everywhere I see it, no matter who it identifies me with or separates me from.

  650. Come on, let's lift our voices and glorify God.

  651. Hallelujah, Glory to God.

  652. Thank you, jesus.
