Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is
-
inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,
-
subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth
-
Nigh. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program where you are
-
your host, Leonard and Matthew. Today we're going to get right back to
-
the Book of Jude and what's going on in the world around us, because
-
look, ladies and gentlemen, I do I'm seeing some very disturbing things going
-
on, not so much in the world at large, because I expect that.
-
I expect the world at large to be full of rapist and murderers and
-
thieves and drug dealers and dealers in stolen property. I expect that from the
-
world at large. However, I expect godly conduct and operations in the Christian
-
world. That's just naturally what I expect, and that is not let me
-
repeat, that is not what I'm witnessing. I'm not witnessing that. So
-
Leonard, why don't you bring us up to speed what's been going on with
-
you and your thoughts on putting this to what the Book of Jude describes about
-
for us in the end times. Well, yeah, you know, we
-
went through a lot of verses, but I would like to focus on,
-
you know, from verses ten to sixteen. But before we get to that,
-
let's go ahead and start with prayer. So I'll go ahead, I'll
-
go ahead and pray, and then you can end in prayer, Matthew.
-
So all right, damnly Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord God,
-
we just humbly come to you right now, and Lord, we thank
-
you for getting us through this week, get waking us up today and giving
-

-
it's a recorded you know, for tomorrow, the next day, or weeks
-
from now, I just pray that they're blessed, Lord God, that their
-
eyes would be opened, that their hearts will, Lord God, will be
-
put to action, Lord God, to do the bear fruit, Lor God.
-
I just pray, Lord God, as we go through these verses,
-
Lord God, you will open our hearts. You will humble our humble us,
-
Lord God, and help us to do and to live righteously and to
-

-
to go through your word, Lord, and may your spirit, Lord God
-
guide us and give us the words to speak in Jesus name. Amen,
-
Amen and Amen. All right, let's get to it. What's on your
-
heart? Yeah? So, you know, I mean going from you know,
-
these verses from ten to sixteen kind of just kind of goes through my
-
week that I've been going through. Like I said, I had to go
-
to Vegas for a conference out there with my job, and you the needless
-
to say, it was quite interesting seeing just everything on the streets, just
-
if you walk on the regular street, just what you see. It's pretty
-
incredible. The debauchery and the sin there is, you know, all ungodliness.
-
There's no fear of the Lord, there's no friends of the Lord.
-
Is just all out just just sin. You know, whether it be walking
-
in the mall and there's people that are you know, they have money and
-
you know that are just very prideful. You know, whether it be you
-
know people on the streets that are just outright you know, haters of God.
-
Uh, It's it's pretty disheartening to see something like this, but it's
-
everywhere out there, and even you know, seeing the people around me act
-
the way they act, I don't know, man, It's it's pretty hard.
-
But you know, the ungodliness is what's hard, you know, Uh,
-
seeing that around you. I'm not exposed to that all the time.
-
I mean, I see it through. I see it through like drug addicts
-
when I go to the gas stations and I deliver gas. But this is,
-
this is a whole different le although you know, usually I'll just go
-
and I'll deliver a gas and most of the people that I see are people
-
that are addicted to like e fentanyl. But it's just a whole different,
-
uh different type of I guess, Sin, I guess you would say.
-
I mean, these people that are out there is just you know, they're
-
loving what they're doing, you know, and uh, the best way I
-
can describe it, there's no fear of the Lord at all on what they're
-
doing. And and it reminds me of this right here. You know,
-
what we're reading in Jude, like to start with verse ten, and it
-
says, but these men revive the things which they do not understand, and
-
the things which they know by instinct, like unreasonable, unreasoning animals. By
-
these things, they are destroyed. So, uh, you know, I
-
mean, if you, if you can just break that down for us,
-
Matthew, a little bit about what that's talking about. As far as obviously
-
these are talking about. These are so called men of God. Will they're
-
self proclaimed? Correct, Yes, they're they're self proclaimed, that's for sure.
-
And they're proclaiming is in name only. And this this text makes it
-
perfectly clear that this is a very good way to translate this unreasoning animals because
-
as earlier in this chapter we read that they literally think they have a license
-
to send and that is lawlessness. That is in our language, you can't
-
do this. You can't have a license to be lawless because a license is
-
issued through the permit of the law. So in English, this is this
-
is really confusing, but people need to understand exactly what it's saying. These
-
people are without license, without restraint. Literally, what you were witnessing their
-
in Las Vegas with Sodom and Gomorrah, they were operating without restraint. They
-
were operating without license. They were literally unabashedly doing whatever they thought was right.
-
And it would have been very disturbing to your spirit because that goes against
-
everything, you know. I mean, what you were witnessing is completely an
-
anti family, correct, Oh yeah, man, one percent. And that's
-
what I was telling the guy that I was with. I'm like, you
-
know, I just this goes against everything just the nature of God period,
-
you know, just the structure that God has placed on this earth, the
-
order, and his first order is the family. That's his first order.
-
So you, as a husband and a and a dad, it was immediately
-
going against your green because you knew under such auspices your family could not survive
-
if you conducted yourself in this way. I mean, God help your children
-
if you were to operate that way. So this is completely outside of your
-
paradigm. It was completely antipodal to your very nature as a husband and a
-
dad. And people don't realize that this is where this society is. At.
-
This society, we have reached that point where Sodom and Gomorrah were.
-
They have absolute free license. They operate like unreasoning animals, without any natural
-
borders or boundaries, and as such. They are, in of themselves,
-
elves, a danger to children, They are a danger to any innocent person.
-
These people know no boundaries, and if you try to set boundaries for
-
them, they will literally mash their teeth at you. So this is what
-
you're witnessing. I mean, you were in these these areas that let me
-
just ask you this. Who is your youngest child, Leonard, Oh,
-
my son Samuel? And how old is he? Uh? He's three?
-
Well no, he just turned for him sorry this month. Tell me,
-
Leonard, what would happen if you were to find out that your son was
-
being watched by one of these people? Okay, man? It would it
-
would? You know, it would be a bad thing for me, man,
-
because it would provoke you to wrath, right right, because you would
-
know exactly what their intention would be toward that four year old boy, right.
-
You know. They would immediately see him as a gold nugget or a
-
diamond. They would immediately look for whatever means they could exploit him and make
-
money off him. That is the truth, isn't it? Yes? It
-
is and unfortunately, being unreasoning animals, unreasoning animals have no borders or boundaries.
-
They literally would have taken that four year old boy and sold him for
-
the highest bitter and they wouldn't have cared if it was for body parts.
-
You could have literally told them, I'll give you five hundred bucks to give
-
me that baby so I can harness his organs, and they would have done
-
it without batting an eye. Is that correct? Yeah, So it immediately
-
me saying that immediately triggered a response within you. You immediately knew that if
-
that were to really happen, these people would be in grave danger, as
-
they would And this really is where we're at in this society. These things
-
are going on inside the church. Now, this is a matter of public
-
record, and you know that letter. You know that just in the past
-
five years, how many pastors have been prosecuted for molesting children. Pastors have
-
been caught with video cameras inside the stalls at the church, recording all the
-
little girls as they go to the bathroom. This has happened numerous times inside
-
the church. This has happened numerous times inside the church. So this really
-
is where we're at. And people just don't realize what that means, Leonard.
-
They don't understand what that means because you know, well, you know,
-
more onto what you were saying about that. It's just, you know,
-
it's just a lack of the spirit of God in the church man,
-
and a lack of rightly dividing the Word of truth. You know, it's
-
picking one verse and you know, making a whole sermon out of whatever they
-
think it says, and you know, basically telling stories and just gave away
-
from the Word. And this is the problem that we have. You know,
-
the people can go up there and sit in that congregation and feel like
-
they've gotten fed by a child molester. That says a lot. It certainly
-
says a lot. It speaks volume as to the decrepit nature inside the church.
-
I mean, you know, the biggest one as of late have been
-
the United Methodist Church. They've been hemorrhaging churches. Have they been leaving and
-
joining the Global Methodist Church because the clergy of the United Methodist Church is Antichrist.
-
It's literally anti Christ. They literally preach that Jesus is not the only
-
way to heaven. If you're a Muslim, you're still going to go to
-
heaven. If you're a boot you're still going to go to heaven. That
-
is literal antichrist. The entire clergy of the United Methodist Church is Antichrist.
-
Now, if I shocked a lot of people by saying that, you need
-
to look it up. You need to look up United Methodist Church. Church
-
is leaving to go to the Global Methodist Church, and then open your eyes
-
and start looking into the clergy of the United Methodist Church. It's Antichrist.
-
Literally, Satan has the reigns of the United Methodist Church. That's a fact.
-
That is a fact. I mean when you have people saying that it's
-
all right and stating this type of thing, publicly stating at their conference that
-
a person that is attracted to a minor that's just their sexual preference which God
-
programmed them with, that is anti Christ. There's no other word for it.
-
There's no other name for it. That's what it is. These people
-
have become unhinged from reality, and they have literally entered into a psychosis which
-
they cannot be restrained from, and they cannot control themselves from peddling. In
-
verse I'm sorry, matthe go ahead, No, it's all right, go
-
ahead. I was in the saying verse eleven, it says well to them,
-
for they have gone the way of Cain. And for paid, they
-
have rushed headlong into the air of Baalim and perished. And the rebellion of
-
Kora. What better way to put it, I mean, I know of
-
no better way to systematically put that, and in that order, literally in
-
that order. Look, just stating at the top of the list, stating
-
Kane, everybody needs to understand that he had the birthright. She had the
-
birthright. It was absolutely it was an anathema for the firstborn. She well,
-
how do you even describe this? This failure of the firstborn does not
-
only apply to Kane. But let's take a look at Esaul. He was
-
the first born in the line of the children of the Promise, and he
-
literally sold it for food per hunger. Now, what really blows you aways
-
is that he was actually a hunter, and he'd liked to hunt, and
-
yet he come back. He could have gotten anything he wanted from his father's
-
household, anything. He literally could have asked his dad, and his dad
-
would have slaughtered the fatted calf right then and there, and they would have
-
maded so his hunger, his desire, his fleshly desires overwhelmed his reasoning capacity
-
overwhelmed them. He didn't take time to think. Wait a minute, everything
-
in my father's household is mine. I can go get bread they're baking right
-
now. I can interrupt everybody and just makes some brand if I want,
-
I can go get one of the sheep and butcher it. I can go
-
get one of the cows and butcher All of this reality was overcome, was
-
circumvented by his just desire to be hungry in the moment. There's no way
-
he could have been starving to death. He was not starving to death.
-
We're talking about Esaul, right, yes, And it just blows me away
-
that it blows me away how somebody could do this being in the direct line
-
of the children of the Promise, And this is exactly what Kin did,
-
the same type of thing. Esau did this for hunger, and Kin did
-
it for jealousy. Ain literally had possession of the whole plan, if you
-
really think about it, and just because of fleshly desire, he destroyed everything
-
to up the bottom for what. It's enough to blow your mind. The
-
only way someone could do this, the only thing you can describe it is
-
psychosis. When you're in the line of the children of the Promise and do
-
this, it's a psychosis, because look, ladies and gentlemen, Paine was
-
not a gentile. Do you not understand that Esaul was not a Canaanite,
-
Cain was not a Russian. Do you understand it that way? He was
-
a child of the promise and gave it all for just his desires, his
-
momentary desires. He just got jealous, so he killed his proper absolutely no
-
reason. His passion ships over. The only way you can put this to
-
reality is the way the Scripture did it. An unreasoning animal that cannot think
-
and decipher things for themselves. They just get overwhelmed by their emotions and they
-
do whatever's in the moment. So when you understand that that's what these people
-
that are in the church are. They are in the church, they are
-
technically in the family of God, and they do this, that's psychotic.
-
That's psychosis. There is no fashionable explanation for it, Leonard, That there
-
just isn't you know. I was listening to this program yesterday and this guy
-
got into one Saved, always Saved, and he was just saying, and
-
that why he believes once save, always saved is what it is that you're
-
sealed by God, and that nobody can be perfect. But I just was
-
listening to that. It's kind of just making me sick because it's like it's
-
almost like a cop out to walk Holy. I mean, yeah, are
-
are we going to make mistakes? Of course? You know, do we
-
have the spouts of anger? Of course? You know, But it's the
-
practice of sin. And by what I was hearing, and you know this
-
is going out to thousands of people that are hearing it too, is that
-
the practice of sin is okay. You know that it's already been, you
-
know, nailed to the cross, so even if you practice it, it's
-
fine that you already sealed. And I just look at these verses verses,
-
and it's just like, you know, that's that's what I see. You
-
know, they have rushed headlong into the error of baalem, you know,
-
for pay. You know, they're they're like murderers, you know what I'm
-
saying. They're just like what you said, they can live and break the
-
law of God with no like, well, I'm okay because I said a
-
prayer and now I'm saved, so I can continue to live in sin.
-
It's just hearing that to me it just was like it just was so backward.
-
It was so wrong, you know, just a lack of understanding of
-
scripture that was coming out of his mouth. Man, it's incredible. And
-
and and people when they hear that, they're going to uh, they're going
-
to move towards that because it's it's it speaks to their itching ears, but
-
they're going to perish. Yeah, that's that's what they want to hear for
-
this very reason, because they come like unreasoning animals, and they want to
-
do whatever their heart desires to do. Whether it's it's it's a superiority complex,
-
or whether it's they like eating, or whether it's they like speed and
-
they want to go fast, so they buy fast cars. It doesn't matter
-
what you're talking about. That appeals to them being allowed to do whatever their
-
carnal nature wants to do. That's just like a reasoning animal. Of course,
-
that's what they want to hear. You can do whatever you want to,
-
have all your pleasures condoned, and still go to heaven. But if
-
you say that to the spirit filled believer, it doesn't ring true, Leonard.
-
It's like you immediately knew that something's not right here. It didn't ring
-
true with your spirit right correct, it didn't. It started making my stomach
-
feel sick. And tell me, did you have any of your loved ones
-
with you? No? I was working, so I was by myself.
-
So, Leonard, have you ever been to church with your family and got
-
up and walked out with your family? I did one time. Yeah,
-
I have did it on more than one occasion. Yeah, because I well,
-
so I learned my lesson on that, and I got up and did
-
that one time, and then an every single time that I had to find
-
a church, I've always went by myself first and listened to a couple of
-
sermons before I brought my family into the church. Well, unfortunately, I've
-
got the same story. Yep. After that one particular time, from there
-
on out, I would at least go three times, and I would talk
-
to the pastor too, and I would talk to the pastors likewise, because
-
oh my goodness, it's gotten bad. I mean, look, this is
-
common knowledge, Leonard. I don't care if you go to Germany. I
-
don't care if you go to Italy. Look, everybody knows this. This
-
is common knowledge. You can't whore your way into the Kingdom of Heaven.
-
You cannot. You cannot literally still people for a living and sell them as
-
sex slaves. You can't do that and go to heaven. You just can't.
-
It's amazing that the people in the pews all know this. It's the
-
clergy that's the problem. It's the clergy that is getting this message out to
-
the evil and wicked and the pews are being filled up by evil and wicked
-
people. And all the Christians that are out there in these churches are like
-
little islands, but like little islands in the midst of great wickedness. I
-
mean, Lord ad Mercy, I'll never forget the time when it was discovered
-
that on our churches server was a pornography website. Literally, the clergy had
-
been making thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars hacks free, you see,
-
because it was being ran out of the church's cpu, Leonard. So it
-
came underneath the umbrella of the five oh one c. Three. And the
-
look on some of the people's face, Look, ladies and gentlemen, this
-
is going on. Oh yes it is. And I don't know what to
-
do about it, Leonard. What can we do? I mean, the
-
only thing we can do is look out for our family, the people that
-
are around us. You know, you try to tell people at church,
-
you know, most likely they'll get offended and they don't want to hear.
-
There might be some, but the majority of the people just don't. They
-
just want to go on with their lives. They want to live in peace.
-
You know, are here. In verse twelve, it says, these
-
are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feast, when they feace
-
with you without fear, caring for themselves. Clouds without water, carried carried
-
along by winds, autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted. What
-
does that mean these are hidden reefs in your love feasts? Well, if
-
you haven't had any time at sea, you're really disconnected from this. But
-
reef, ladies and gentlemen, is rocks that's just below the surface that you
-
can't see. And a reef is structured in such a way that it creates
-
a small island underneath the waves that the boats can't see. And you can
-
literally ground yourself on a wreath, and then there's nothing you can do.
-
You're duded. From that point forward. You cannot you can destroy your boat
-
then, right, that's right. Once you've grounded yourself on a reef,
-
nothing can be done, because it's the backbone of the ship what gets grounded.
-
It's the keel that gets grounded on the And once you have the backbone
-
of the ship grounded and caught fast, you're doomed. If you can't see
-
sure, you're certainly dead. And that's exactly what's going on here. These
-
poor Christians setting in these pews have no idea that these reefs are all around
-
them. They have no idea. They think that their clergy has protected them
-
and everybody in this church. Well, nobody believes that once you get saved,
-
you can you can go ahead and continue raping teenage girls. Right,
-
No Christian thinks that, right? Oh n man, Well, I mean
-
I don't think that, you know, I don't know. I don't know
-
what you would think that, being a real Christian, you wouldn't think that.
-
I mean, right, That's what I'm trying to say. These poor
-
Christians don't know that their own clergy believe this and have brought in these people
-
and allow them to be members of the church. You see, these poorness
-
that Christians are never being told about the real story behind the people that's sitting
-
around them in the pew with them. All that stuff goes on behind the
-
scenes. And that's crazy, Matthew, because they do it without fear,
-
it says, right, without fear. They do it without fear, and
-
it's it is enough to boggle your mind. When you visit these churches and
-
you'll find Christians. You'll find this little old fifty six year old woman sitting
-
in the back you and you go talk to her, and she's gone to
-
this church her whole life, and YadA, YadA YadA, and you realize
-
she's a you know, realize she is a saint. And you spend some
-
time at that church, and then you find out the other people going there,
-
and you full well realize that poor little fifty six year old woman that
-
was born and raised in that church, she has no idea she's going to
-
church with pedophiles and thieves and child traffickers. She has no idea, Leonard,
-
because these are selfish men caring for themselves. That's the only thing they
-
care for themselves. I mean, just this thought process is an anathema to
-
the Christian psyche can't think that way. Our mind can't process those thoughts.
-
So we think that there's no way that can be possibly happening, So you're
-
right, we don't want to be bothered with it, right right by all
-
means don't walk the boat. So our complacency creates a snare for us.
-
Yeah, the only real person that can destroy you is you. And if
-
you become complacent, and if you allow these things to happen, you have
-
doomed yourself. You must stand up and face these things down, no matter
-
how scary they are. If someone is preaching, hey, once saved,
-
doways saved, you just gotta get saved. Once you do that, you
-
just go ahead and party on. You have to stand up, shut them
-
up, and shut them down. And I've done this very thing in church.
-
I have stood up and stopped servants. Now, I haven't heard of
-
anyone else doing that in decades, probably at least thirty years, but they're
-
through well. Up through probably the middle eighties, you would hear of it.
-
When these people would come into the church and start preaching something sideways.
-
They'd be shut up and shut down. But now I think that everybody just
-
thinks that church is church. I don't even think they say the only real
-
differentiation they see is basically Catholic and Protestant that's really all they know. I
-
mean, I've had some pretty in depth conversations with people that'send their thirties.
-
They have no they have no clue. They think they're a Christian because they're
-
going to church. And I've literally had them tell me that. I mean,
-
after you spend twenty minutes with them, you know you realize, I
-
mean, you have to test the water. So you just ask them.
-
So let me ask you something. So how do you know you're going to
-
heaven? And they've come right out and told me, well, because I'm
-
a member of this church, So what do you have to do now to
-
maintain your salvation? Well, nothing, nothing. You're a member of this
-
church, So you can burn down the world and you're still going to have
-
That's a psychosis, Leonard. You cannot arrive at that thought process via the
-
Holy Spirit. You can't. Well, I would say they don't have the
-
Holy Spirit because it says right here, clouds without water, carried carried along
-
by winds, autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted. These people
-
are operating without the spirit of God. They're doubly dead. They're dead in
-
the flesh and spirit. There is no fruit well, yeah, if if
-
the tree is not bearing fruit, it's dead. So not only are they
-
dead, they're uprooted because they didn't bear any fruit, they're doubly dead.
-
And and what's that say about the congregation? That's they're getting fed by something
-
that's dead. That's right. It's kind of like eating cardboard, right,
-
it has no nutritional value what they're being at all. And yet wow,
-
because they tell people what they want to hear. Oh my goodness, they
-
literally make over like fat rats, like Bela. I mean, they're paid
-
to the hilt. And that's exactly what this scripture says. So everybody needs
-
to realize this is exactly what Baylam was being paid for. He was being
-
paid to curse God's people. Ladies and gentlemen. If you're a Christian in
-
the church, you're God's people, and these clergies are being paid to defile
-
you, and they're doing it with no fear, no fear whatsoever. And
-
it boggles the mind because you and I can't think that way, Leonard.
-
I mean, look, what would you do if you figured out this type
-
of thing was being done at your mother's church? Oh man, Well,
-
you know when I had first got saved. I went to my mom's church.
-
They became a big box store church where they started off very small in
-
the storefront, and it just grew massive. And I remember telling her that
-
when I just felt heartbroken when I went and heard the message, I just
-
That's when I had told her that it sounded like Tony Robbins, like a
-
Tony Robbin's message. But the only thing is is that he was using God
-
and Jesus instead of personal power and powers within you. But it sounded just
-
like Tony Robins. So and that's what I told my mom. And then
-
later on that church, you know, for whatever reason, my mom just
-
felt like she it had been going there for so long and it's just hard.
-
She said, it was hard she and she stopped going. She's just
-
but it was one of the guys that did the School of Ministry happened to
-
be sleeping with the secretary, and he was the president of the School of
-
Ministry, and he would be sleeping with the secretary in his office and then
-
going peaching the students right after he was done. It reminds me of this
-
first right here, wild waves of sea casting up their own shame like foam
-
wandering stars from whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. Because after he
-
did that, he left the church, started another church with the woman he
-
committed adultery with, with no shame, divorced his wife. And that's what
-
I didn't know that. No, that's what John Hagy did. That that
-
woman you see. No, no, no, no, that's not his
-
wife, that's his secretary. Ladies and gentlemen. You need to look these
-
things up, you really do. Wow, yep, you're literally telling the
-
story of John Hagen. And yet how many people listen to him as if
-
he's gospel truth when he's nothing but a two bit horror. I don't have
-
the problem say, and he's the worst kind of a whore because basically a
-
horror of a conscious she'd never do that in God's house, right right,
-
Well, this is saying wild waves of the sea casting up their own shame
-
like foam. Yep, for the whole world to see, for the whole
-
world to see. Man, And I didn't know that about John hagey man,
-
I told you, you know, I had a book with him,
-
and he was saying that Israel, they don't even have to be saved,
-
that they're children of God. And they're going to go to heaven anyways without
-
without Christ. Yes, that's dual covenant heresy. Yeah, that's heresy.
-
Look, ladies and gentlemen, if your preacher is teaching dual covenant theology that
-
the Jews are going to go to heaven just because they're Jews, they're heretics.
-
Okay, no one. And this is how I started out this program.
-
As a matter of fact, no one goes to the Father except through
-
the Lord Jesus Christ. That's it. It's not Buddha, it's not Muhammad.
-
Those will lead you to hell. You can only get to the Father
-
through the Lord Jesus Christ. The New Testament repeatedly says that in multiple places
-
there is only one way is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And
-
it just we are in a very very sad state of affairs. I mean
-
I would say, I would say we're in the danger zone. I would
-
say we're to the point it's impossible to pull out of this nose dive because
-
this corruption has taken over every denomination that I know of. Yeah, I
-
mean it amazes me that big time preachers h for instance, the person that
-
was running the PTL organization, he goes to prison, gets out, he's
-
now back on TV. Are people stupid? Are they that dumb? I'm
-
sorry? What is the PTL? What is that? A long time ago
-
it was a big program, the biggest tele evangelist and they called their program
-
PTL. He got busted and spent I don't remember how many years in jail.
-
I think it was at least ten years he did in federal penitentiary.
-
He got out, started the ministry back up, and I mean he renamed
-
the ministry. But he's going strong. He's on TV right now. What's
-
his name. I'm not going to mention his name. He's not worth mentioning.
-
I mean, look, what just happened? Man, old man?
-
Yeah, Look, if we were to go back fifty years and tell the
-
church leaders what was going to happen, they would say, no, if
-
that happens during the end times. Yeah, you know, there's other there's
-
another preacher that I don't know who he was, but I guess he slept
-
with some some prostitute and he like went on TV and said he was sorry.
-
And now he has a whole network that even some of the people like
-
that are on the fringes of you know of of Bible teaching. A lot
-
of them are on his network, and let me guess. I don't.
-
I don't have to guess. They teach dual Covenant theology, right, I
-
don't know. I don't listen to them what you're talking about. Yeah,
-
I've just seen them on there now, you know, they're like on their
-
network, and yeah, it's you know, Matthew says right here, you
-
know, wandering stars for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. You
-
know what, Leonard, what do you think that's saying? What do you
-
think that means? I mean, there's For me, there's kind of like
-
two meanings. I mean I think of wandering stars as an angels, you
-
mean, and then I also think as those that uh, you know,
-
bring their false light and do what they want to do, like the preachers
-
that we see. You know, it's which is a false light. You
-
know, they're not on they're they're not on their correct path. They've wandered
-
off it and they're doing their own thing. But I also see this as
-
like also like angels. Well, you know, what do you think this
-
strange wording wondering stars? Do you know what that is? In Greek don't
-
you what is that? Well, the second word there is astor, which
-
a star, but the first word is to say it. You're not going
-
to believe it. Planet t's it's where you get the word planet, right,
-
I'm looking at that right now. What this is saying is is it's
-
a planet without a solar system. It's a rogue planet. That's what NASA
-
calls what this is describing. It's a rogue planet, a planet that has
-
no solar system, no star, has no parrot star. It just wanders
-
throughout the deep. And it's amazing that people really can't put that into context.
-
What this is saying here, Once you reach this place, ladies and
-
gentlemen, you're dude, Once you reach this place, there is no repenting.
-
Now, what I'm saying is probably really disturbing for you to hear because
-
you've always been told that, Yeah, you can't pat for many sin,
-
right Leonard, Yeah, that's not what we're talking about, ladies and gentlemen.
-
We're talking about someone who did repent of their sins, got saved,
-
and then used rice shed blood as a license to sin. They have overcame
-
their own conscience by ignoring the Holy Spirit long enough that the Holy Spirit stopped
-
even telling them the difference between right and wrong. Once you've crossed that threshold,
-
you are dude, do you have no hope? So don't be mistaken,
-
ladies and gentlemen. Yes, you can be forgiven of any sins you
-
could ever come in and enter the Family of God. But once you're in
-
the Family of God, if you contende in your you become twice dead.
-
Your situation becomes far, far, far worse than it was to begin with
-
before you got saved. And once you cross these lines, there's no going
-
back. I mean, Leonard, twenty years ago, you were not necessarily
-
known as a nice individual. Correct. No, I wasn't, and I
-
take it as a matter of habit you did very nasty things repeatedly. Correct.
-
Oh, yeah, I did it as in practicing it. I mean,
-
I would imagine that you not want to share with me just one night,
-
just what you did on New Year's Eve. You probably wouldn't want to
-
share that with me, would you. No, But it is true you
-
reached a critical mass point where you cried out to God and he forgive you
-
for all those things. Correct, Yes, he did. What we're talking
-
about is someone just like you that at this point in time they reject all
-
that and go back to it. And on top of that, they open
-
those little side businesses that you were making money with. They'd open them under
-
the banner of a ministry and make money tax free. And I've described things
-
in this program that have actually been done. That's really what we're talking about
-
out here. So everybody needs to understand this clear differentiation. The Book of
-
Judea is not talking about people that's not been saved. Anyone can be saved
-
from all manner of sins. But once you get saved and into God's family,
-
do you become like Judas? Do you understand that, ladies and gentlemen.
-
You know, let me put Leonard to the test. So was Judas
-
a disciple? Yes? Okay, So did he see Jesus walk on water?
-
He sent it all. You're sure he was. If he was a
-
disciple, he's seen it all. So he saw Jesus make the blind man
-
see correct. Think about that, ladies and gentlemen, this is what Judas
-
talking about. You know, you can try to reject this all you want
-
to, but you better realize we are living in a society where Judas is
-
scariot. They run the show, Yes they do. Man. I mean,
-
everybody likes to think that that Peter was in charge, right, he
-
was the main disciple. Right, Oh, ladies and gentlemen, we're forty
-
years past that Judas is in charge. And take note Judas had the money
-
back. Yes he did. And you know that goes perfectly into the these
-
other three verses that we're gonna read, the last three to not the last
-
three of Jude, but fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. Can you read those,
-
Matthew verse fourteen. It was also about these men that Enoch in the
-
seventh generation from Adam prophesied, saying, behold, the Lord came with many
-
thousands of his holy ones, could execute judgment upon all, and to convict
-
all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly
-
way, and all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
-
These are grumblers, finding following after their own lust. They speak arrogantly,
-
flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage. There is no better language
-
to describe them. Judas has literally been elected the bishop over the churches.
-
It's enough to boggle your mind. But that's what this chapter is describing,
-
the ungodly being elected to the clergy over God's people. And the only thing
-
I can the only thing I can suggest, if you find yourself in this
-
predicament, ladies and gentlemen, you need to fear God and you need to
-
flee for your life. You know, I think I said this a couple
-
of weeks ago, but this is true. This is the true statement.
-
There was a time that I investigated where my tithe was going. About three
-
or four different names come up, these organizations. I'm like, why is
-
my why is my tythe going to support these organizations? So upon investigating them,
-
I found one of those organizations was just a dummy company and that five
-
oh one C three was giving all their money to plan parenthood. Let me
-
say that again, ladies and gentlemen, you better fear God, and you
-
better go to your next financial meeting, and you better demand to know where
-
every dime of your tithe is going, because we were supporting abortion clinics.
-
If you see a name, you need to track it down. You need
-
to demand where your donation went. And if you think that the clergy didn't
-
know this was going on. Oh my goodness, that was just the beginning
-
of sorrows for me and my family. I mean, for all intents and
-
purposes, that church was being ran by Lucifer himself. I mean all kinds
-
of church funds being used for people's vacations and excursions. Under what circumstance would
-
any Christian authorize clergy being able to go to a casino and be funded literally
-
gambling church money. On what planet would you do that? But I'm here
-
to tell you, if you, if you fear God, you better go
-
to your next financial meeting, and you better demand to know where every dime,
-
I mean, every red scent of your tithe money is going. And
-
they have such these interesting ways that they've tried to hide it from the likes
-
of me. Just blows me away. I love how they would use this
-
wordage, like, well, we had a CD and that CD matured,
-
so we took the interest, and you know, we just made another city,
-
all right? Well then where did the maturity go? And I was
-
so straighting for them because they just couldn't seem to get around me. But
-
ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you you better figure out where your
-
tithe money is going because if the Lord Jesus Christ catches your money funding,
-
hell, oh, God help you. That's all I can say, is
-
God help you. I mean, yeah, I think I've said enough.
-
Leonard, You're clothing comments. No, that's pretty scary. Matthew. You
-
know, my advice to everybody that's a believer, you know, operate in
-
the spirit man, operate the spirit of God to give you discernment and not
-
everything is what it seems. You know, in these days where there's a
-
lot of confusion, there's a lot of darkness, you really need to operate
-
with the spirit of God and and use discernment in all things. You really
-
do. You really have to protect you and your family, you know,
-
you know, walk with the spirit man, you know, have eyes to
-
see, have ears to hear, you know, because that's that's that's how
-
we have to live. That's how we should have been living. But more
-
than ever, the way things are, we have to beyond guard, beyond
-
guard. So I mean, that's my closing comments. All right, ladies
-
and gentlemen, let's let's take this thing out in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father,
-
whom we serve through the Lord Jesus Christ, please fill us with your
-
holy spirit so that we might be pleasing and acceptable in your side. To
-
Lord, our Rock and our redeemers. Oh Lord, we find ourselves in
-
troublesome times. I have written the Book of Jude upon my heart, Lord,
-
and I can reach back and remember going through it as a child and
-
just not not thinking that this could ever happen. And lo and behold,
-
here I am, and here I am trying to lead other Christians through this
-
quagmire of ungodliness. Lord, I'm crying out to you. The only way
-
the people who are called by your name can do this, the only way
-
the children of the Promise can do this, Lord, is for you to
-
create a pure heart within us and give us faith. If you do not
-
do this, Lord Jesus, we have no hope. I cry out to
-
you for all the listeners, past, present, in future, irregardless of
-
when they hear this. I beg you to call them and their loved ones
-
according to your purpose. For your namesake, Lord Jesus, bless us with
-
your presence, gift us with your spirit, Please, Lord, creating us
-
pure hearts and give us faith, For we find ourselves where darkness rings in
-
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray your Son, Father and
-
our Savior. Amen and Amen Amen. So that's time, ladies and gentlemen,
-
God bless, God speed. Thank you for listening to Marinath the Ministries
