How To Identify Voice Of God | Pr Matthew Chang

You're listening to a message to go from X Church. We hope this message

will light up your day. Will continue on the series on a secomputer and

um, I'm not going to do too much recare. But basically it's a

book about warnings, warnings about false teaching, but mainly people who don't believe

that Jesus is God, people who don't believe that. You know, as

a believer, you should continue to live in a sanctified living meaning meaning that

you should continue to grow, not just you know, hey, I punched

my ticket, I got my sird. Now I can do whatever I want.

I can live like a wild life, like a wild donke, like

a wild horse, like a wild animal. You know, it's not what

you're You've been safe for good works. You're safe for grow not just about

having faith, but having a faith that actually grows. You know, you

can go to that last I think first message that I shared about about the

growth now from virtue, I think I remember the whole from virtue to perseverance

to godliness all the way to love as well. Again go through that in

Second Peter chapter one, But today I'm going to go through Second Peter chapter

two. Spit long So turn with me to Second Peter, chapter two,

verse one, and I'm going to read, and then after that I will

share. Verse one. It says, but there will also false profits among

the people, even as there will be false teachers among you who were secretly

bringing destructive heresies, even denying the Lord told you guys right, underline that

they were to deny the Lord who bought them and bring on themselves swift destruction.

And many Okay, underline the part many, not just a few.

Many people will follow their destructive ways because of whom the way of truth will

be blasphee. Okay, the way of truth, not anything else, but

the way, the pathway will be blasphemed now number three by covered chest.

They will exploit you, okay, can underline these two words coveregeousness and exploit.

They will exploit you with these sceptive words. For a long time,

their judgment has not been either, and the destruction does not slumber. Okay,

let's continue verse four. Okay, this is actually this part is continuing

what the previous verse saying that now for a long time the judgment has not

been either, meaning that you see these people doing their evil works. Don't

worry it's not. They look like they're prospering. They look like they are,

you know, thriving. They look like they're nothing happening to them.

Peter is telling them, don't worry. Their judgment has been reserved and it's

building up, and their doom is coming. Okay. Verse four, it

says, for if God did not spare the angels who sin, but cast

them down to hell and deliver them into the chains of darkness to be reserved

for judgment. And they not spare the ancient world, but save Noah,

one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on

the world of the ungodly and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomera into ashes,

condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterwards will

leave ungodly and delivered. Righteous Lord who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of

the wicked, for that righteous man dwelling among them tormented his righteous soul from

day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds. Then the Lord knows

how to deliver the godly of of temptation, gain they underland the part,

deliver the godly art of temptations, and to reserve the unjust under unjust punishment,

for the day of under punishment, for the day of judgment, and

especially those who were, according to the flesh in the last of uncleanness and

despise authority. Now this part you can underline. They are forts of all

presumptuous self who will they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, underlining

especially the gain not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. Whereas angels who are

greater in power and might do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the

Lord. Wow, there's a load. Okay, it's a load. There

quite a lot of things to cover. Now I'm gonna go through some things

here. Now, why is this passage important and relevant to us? Okay,

some of you that I know force teaching very clearly already. Now,

first of all, we need to know because the enemy is clearly at work.

I've never seen the world more confused nowadays. Seriously, whoa, it's

so messed up and so confused. Seriously, you have you how many of

you have seen this Twitter video called a movie called What Is a Woman?

By Matt Walsh? Okay, okay, you can check it out, No

worry. It's quite disturbing. They stop being in a way intellectually okay,

not graphically again, it's to be intellectually. Of course. People now are

identifying whoever they want to be. Today, I'm a woman, I go

and if I go and deadly Triandra killer, I probably broke the women record.

Ready, so should celebrate my achievement. Tomorrow. I can probably compete

in another sports. Ready, I can probably join the army. I can

probably enter the toilet of another person. There was now telling people that,

hey, you can go. And you know, if your son is within

a certain age less than fifteen years old, and they decide to change gender

physically, hospital wise, you cannot stop them. They are under the protection

of the federal law. What kind of thing is happening if you want to

abort a child, because they are because although they repeal the abortion abortion,

but it's technical, it's not really a repeal. Okay, if you want

to perform an abortion, if that state in your US that doesn't support you,

you can. Actually there are some companies who will sponsor your treat from

one state to another and pay your medical bill to abort your child. Do

you know that Scarier people will actually companies will do that because they don't think

they are evil. They think they are right, They think they are on

the good side. They look at us, we are the evil one.

Okay, they look at us we are we are immoral people Indian eyes,

we are the immoral ones. We are no the ones that belong you,

not from the bad team. Okay. The world is so confused, and

it's really said something so clear. Sometimes you leave in Malaysia, you like,

look at them. Why they think like we we are coming. We

are wanting, like hoping to be able to progress. But you are coming,

you know, doing things that's so draconian and so medieval, like us,

we know that it doesn't work here, but you're trying to implementate them.

Like like why it's it's so funny that people are so confused, and

we know that the enemy is at work. Again, we need to know

more than ever. There is a spirit of confusion. There is a demonic

oppression and enslavement that is at work. But also in this today, I

want to teach you also to be able to why easily engage with the enemy.

Hey, you cannot be like hey, you know, ignorant on how

to engage the enemy, and these are all in scripture. Don't simply say

things against the enemy who you know, don't simply say things against the enemy

one now, Peter is teaching here. Now, don't simply say things against

the enemy. Don't simply say things. Are not even the angels there to

say about the enemy. Okay, let our guys will teach you. It's

all scripture. Okay. So we need to know because the enemy is at

work. We need to be able to discern what is who what and who

are the false teaching and teachers what they teach about. We need to also

examine ourselves. What do you believe in? What are you believing in?

Are you yourself confused? Actually asked, you know, you know some someone,

Hey, do you believe in you know, so called gender equality not

gender fluidity? You know, you know, And then they said, okay,

no problem, Yeah I say that, Hey, but if you change

your agure, would you be okay? And the suddenly no. You know,

people at different standards when it comes to things, you know, when

it affects them and they start to have a reaction when it doesn't know they're

like, you know, you decide whatever you want will be whatever you feel

like. There's no godliness anymore, there's no law anymore. Okay, Now

it says it when we reach through the scripture here, it says that that

the prophets, or the false prophets, or the false teachers have certain qualities.

Okay, put a slight here. They can go through the first light.

First one. They will speak what you want to hear. They will

not speak what you don't like to hear. They will speak something what you'd

like to hear. They will tell you things that tingle your ear. And

most importantly, there will things say things that gratify your flesh, your feelings,

your ambitions, you're intent, your good intent, good intentions. They

will all these good intense or the good things that you feel. They are

so noble about you that will gratify you. They will not talk to you

about so much about sin, about convictions you know about you know, things

that you know that will probably ask you to give up things. Okay,

And there's like whitewashing a wall to musket flaws. You know, it's like

a wall that's like you know your cracks. You well, if you if

how many of you would like to buy a houser you know when you can

definitely peel off the wall and then you see all the cracks and how kind

of patchie up they're doing behind the wall. No, right when they present

you the house that it's all painted out, plaster ceiling, they even do

you the showroom that it's all funnish beautifully, one, isn't it, But

they won't look at it as it is. One. Okay, they sell

you the future, but they don't tell you what it's inside. They tell

you they share the same terms. Hey, we praise the lot, we

believe in Jesus, we believe in holiness. Same term, but different dictionary.

Okay, turn to your neighbor and say this, I hope that we

all have the same dictionary. Scary, isn't it can't have the same term

but different dictionary, please, don't you know? Really, that's why it's

ready hard to decide who are for you and who are against you? And

you know who are really for you are the same term, but different dictionary.

And some like these people they are not They may not be pastors,

they may not be teachers, that they can just be normal people. You

know what happens during in Peter's time is that uring the church when they're having

the churches were having cliques and gatherings, and people were having their own unsanctioned

gatherings and private studies and private interpretations of the Bible. That's what was happening

at that time, private Bible study and private interpretations, private interpretations. That

means that they take the Old Testament to interpretation. That is why we don't

believe that Jesus is the son of God. Why don't you Why why couldn't

you bring that interpretation out to the public and share why? No, there

are these are the things that tell tell signs? Are you gotta be be

very curious? Why only why only a specific group of people on it?

They say, no, we don't tell the person because the person don't won't

see eye to eye with us and won't won't say bad thing about that person.

One. This why we don't include one. You know what I'm talking

about, right? Sounds very familiar, right, It's like that one.

They always get the same line because they people who are like who who want

to I'm who are powerful and influencial, and they know who they can influence

and who they can't. You get me right? They who they know even

in the marketplace. If you're going into companies, you know you tell certain

rumor gossip bar some people will try and see whether you buy. If you

buy our war, they will always try to aid, text you and send

you and then get you to pull on their sides. If they know that

you don't buy, they won't entertain you. They immediately branch you as another

side already. Okay, they know people's sense. People know they are rich

and their influence. Okay, so they yeah, they speak what you want

to hear. Next one they disguised themselves. I mentioned before, same word,

same terms, but different dictionary. And yeah, they would even do

good things. They will preach very good words. Uh. Sometimes you know,

they would be very nice to you, be very homely to you.

You know, I was hearing the other day. I want you know this

pastor jomb of You. You hurt him John of You, And he was

very funny and he was very very very candid and open to and meet something

about his life. He left a church because he was offended by this pastor.

And before he left and he you know, he connected with this particular

leader very well. And then one day he came home right and he saw

there was a gift cut on his dining table and the gift cart was it.

Oh, hey, John, you know, I just feel like we

have a really good kindred I just want to bless you. And he opened

his freature is full of goodies, you know. So there's a couple blessed.

The whole freach, you know, all the must be from God.

Lah, so blessed, you know. And then I say, hey,

then they talk about starting a start, starting to plant another church outside leaving.

Oh, then jump with you feel like what this kindred spirit must be

a sign from God? La. He wrote this in this book. You

know. It was like, Oh, I was like, quite amazing.

He went After a few years. He I think things they didn't work out.

He left. Hey, by the way, I'm not against planting churches

as seriously, but please focus on what I'm trying to really draw from this

lesson. Okay, don't white watch everything else. He came back and this

is what he said to me. Now he went back to his old church.

The moment he stepped back into his centurier boom, he said he heard

the Holy Spirit spoke to him. So clearly, I know before that he

went in, He's like, wow, this is the presence of God so

powerful. And then you know then that he heard the Holy Spirit spoke to

him. There it is there, it is one Uh No, Um,

I can't remember what the price? Okay, um, you know um what

the Holy space said? You finally got it? God? What that?

I never told you to leave? It's powerful, scarier, you see.

Sometimes good enough, but good's not enough. You know. We only move

and God tells us to move, even if you're in a sticky situation.

Is every situation good? No, far from it. I told I don't

know. I've told you guys before about the Abraham right about who is that?

So they cannot remember the name the slave surrogate mother lady? Hey guy,

hegar hagar. Do you think she was treated properly to become a surrogate

mother? No? But they got ask her to leave. You see,

you stay where you are, not because the situation is per fair, and

you stay or moolute leave because you fear God. That's all. That's all.

That's all, seriously, I I that's why restrains us. No nothing

else. You know. It's not the goodness of man or the situation.

No restrains us. It's the reality of God and whether we fear God.

That's all simple as that, and we all will be sped by life and

because of simples, because we fear God and say, God, I know

you are faithful to begin and you're faithful to end. Help me to hear.

And that's why I love that. You know, Adrian, you know

you're shared and know, hey, you know you caught that. It's not

about just what a big sign in the heaven. I need to begin tuning

my mind to hear God because God's would. God is faithful, but if

I'm not tuned to him, I cannot receive. You know, God is

faithful, but we are not tuned to him. So I gotta condition my

life to tune him to be able to hear him, because in when I

move according to him, I will find success. Simple as that. Okay,

now let's move on. They disguised themselves. They will deny Christ.

Okay, this is pretty straightforward. They might not say it right out front.

Eventually somehow and you go into you know, other faiths, and believes

you will starts. Hey, you believe Jesus is the son of God?

Said, I believe that they would say that. They will not tell you

know, they would just say that Jesus is a good person, I believe

his teachings. No, it's Jesus, the son of God. And they

might not say, and more importantly, do they believe in his authority?

Because if Jesus is the son of God, that means he's God. That

means his word is law. There is a big implication. And now when

you're between a good teacher and the son of God, I know when you

say the son of God means he his word is law law, there's a

difference, in a big difference. You know, he's not just good,

No, he's God. He died, Did he rise from her dead?

Will he return? You know, these are things you must test. You

know this a found they should no Christians, you know, hope you are

when you want to test that, you must know it. Not Jesus came.

It's in a human form from a virgin birth. He died, not

half. You know, there's another religion. They believed that he didn't die.

You know, he's somehow survived and then went to France and then you

live a good life in the village there. Okay. Some people say they

never rose, some people say they will never return again. No your scripture

people, because you might seem simple. It might seem simple, but I

tell you there are many permutations and variations my multiverse that will come in to

distord it from you. And Jesus didn't really raise but yeah, we believe

he's a good There will there will have a version of Jesus that doesn't look

like the Jesus of the Bible. Trust me, Jesus was to exist,

but it will not look like him at or it will fit their version.

You will be a false religion. Okay, next one there will be popular.

Of course he will be popular because you know why this people there sends

influence. Most of these features they know influence. They're smart, they are.

And then that's why the Bible says one. I told you to underline

the word right many. I just want many will follow their destructive ways,

not just one the way. This why when the many, the power will

be made. Why why it needs to road. They will accept everyone.

They will accept every lifestyle, every thought or thinking true enough. Base may

not mistake. We're all saved by the grace of God. By the grace

of God. But God does not change. We don't determ we don't get

to decide whether when we jump off the building we get hurt or not.

There will be consequences, yeah, I said, Yeah, I get to

decide I will get hurt or not. No gravity decides. Okay. No

matter how you identify, man, woman, chicken, or whatever, you

will meet the ground. Okay, no matter what, you will meet the

ground. You cannot change. You cannot warp reality. You cannot force the

world to live in this line that you are, that you have built.

Okay, you cannot, but the world will do that to you. Please

don't get don't don't get stuck into it. Okay, everybody? Sorry?

Am I to them? Maybe I'm a big sharp here. There were covered

There will as things. There will last after things. And one of the

main things is that they are, you know, among the things is that

they you realize that they will preach freedom. Hey, we are free to

do things in that. But yet they preach freedom. But yet they themselves

are not free. What do I mean by that? When you see God

saves you make you free, are free from what, free from sin,

and free from what, free from a lasting after the war? Ye?

I mean right? Bible says what do not be conformed, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind. So there's two parts of it. There's

a negative and a positive. The negative is to conforming, the positive is

to transforming. Okay, so there's a negative and positive. Conforming means that

you follow the natural, the last of the eye, and the pride of

life, all these things. You know. The world there is a You

must understand that even if you want to remain neutrala the world will that you

remain neutral. There's a reever, there's a flow that that world is heading

into a direction. You like it or not? Edies and you are,

you and I, all of us were are caught in it. Get me

in right, all of us the card in it. No matter what you're

like, it is flowing. So if you by doing nothing and just remaining

neutral, you are conforming already. You're allowing the river. Then then the

waves to sweep you, sweep you, and some people will build a boat

and rush for ware. But we are called up into it, and without

God's help and salvation we will be hopeless, you know. But God has

transformed us, means what we are new creation. We are going to the

other side as well. So there must be a transformation happening, but I'm

not going to teach about that. There's another entire message on its own,

but I just wanted to share with you guys. Okay, all right,

there will be presumptuous, stubborn and bold to speak evil. Wow. Okay,

what do I mean by that? There will be presumptuous? Now,

okay, presumptuous means what presumptuous means failing to observe the limit of what is

permitted and appropriate. Give you an example. It's like you drive on no

South Highway, no car or speech shock, you know, but no carma

six o'clock in the morning. I remember one time I dried driving from JB

to applicate her early morning. Of course I have to reach BJ by nine

something. I's left at five o'clock or no car, no or shot.

You know. Presumptuous, you know me? Presumption, you presumptious. You

think you know the limit, but you don't. And because of that,

you extend, You reach beyond your limit, You reach, you go beyond

your reach. You do things you're not supposed to do. You do things

you are not permitted to do. You are a PRESUMPTI you presume it's okay,

one you give me. The law doesn't apply. But you are now

basing on what you see on your eye, what you feel. It's okay,

you know? Oh no, what I mean? Here? We all

no presumptuous leaving. It's like that also, isn't it. It's okay?

No, Someone I give you an example. It's like a couple before married,

boyfriend and girlfriend. Every common We hear this all the time. Hey,

hey, we both don't earn a lot. Let's stay together. Makes

sense, makes sense? Hurt it so many times. And the thing is,

it's hard. You know. Of course your parents six hundred, seven

hundred hundred. Now we got that thousand or somewhere. You pay that half

your salary gone? Ready, Well, if I do that, I means

I have to get my parents to help me to pay for it. Hey,

do I have a solution for you? Of course I don't. Your

life is your own. You are a young working adult. You have to

make your own responsibilities. But I don't say the rules buys it hard.

Of course, it's hard, but you make choices. You have to understand

right now, you have to make choices. They are a difficult one.

Whether you have to make choices, whether there is the reality of God in

your life. There will be the reality of finances, and there will be

the reality of God in your life. And everybody's situation will be difficult,

and the thing you must understand. Nobody will truly understand what you go through

and the price you pay. You. Only you will know. You don't

have to justify with me, your pastor your parent anyone. It's just between

you and the Lord. Nobody will know why I go to. You don't

know why you go to. I don't know. It's between you and the

Lord. But make no mista. I tell you whatever you do to honor

the Lord, even it's the smallest of faith. At the course of what

you do, God sees, and these are the seeds that sets you apart,

really apart, I tell you, really, really apart. It's hard,

makes you look silly, makes you feel like you don't make sense.

But then you see when you do that, you start to live in a

presumptions life. God will understand true. Now, isn't the presumptious living?

Isn't the presumptions living? You assume you think you know how God thinks.

Presumption is living. You extend beyond, you take God's grace, and you

extend to praces that you think that God should do, presumptuous, leaving you

a wielding God, no manipulating God, a putting God in a certain way.

Now I say this because I've done it many times. I'm sorry know

to judge you. I know how my heart is deceptive. I've done it

so many times. I tell you, I wish I could tell my younger

self. I could probably make better decisions. But we are like that.

We are having evil very We deceive ourselves so much. We want to do

things that gratify, but we don't want to feel bad about it, true

or not. So we want to get what we want, but we don't

want to feel bad about it, and we lie, We cheat, we

hide, to do whatever we can, even a God's expend even and using

God's name to do that. He said, well, very quiet today,

It's true, isn't it? People? Am I the only one? Am

I the only one? I'm not condemning or I'm just taking all our hearts

out, you know, I'm like that, tell the things that I want

to hide, just like Adam, just like David. You know, we

want to hide. I want to hide most of the time. But we

gotta call on God's grace upon our lives to help us make the right decisions.

I can't solve it. I really don't. I shouldn't be your template.

But I tell you pray God's reality and the fear of God in your

life. Let God reveal all this in your heart that you may walk righteously,

uprightly before him, honor him, trust and he will honor you.

Amen. We presumptuous, don't live presumptuously. Go back to don't leave stubbornly,

don't be stubborn. Don't keep thinking your ways are right. It's good

to have a self healthy dose of self doubt, you know, whenever they

don't know? That's WoT the question I asked past yesterday? You know that,

hey, how do you know? It's the will of God? Because

I will keep asking that question true how the years of my life, because

this is what actually one of the most important questions everyone needs to know.

What is the will go in my life? Doesn't mean that I feel good

about it? Does it mean that it makes sense? Does it mean that

when I make this issue and all the circumstances around me fits into it is

the will of God? It may not be, you know, I tell

you, and most of the chances it will not be. You know.

That's why I said, is it possible that everything fits so well, my

heart, my emotions, It might be supposed fits so well that it's still

not within the will of God. Yes, that's the scary part. People

like, oh, how pastor how God? And are we like paralyze Christians?

You know, see this is a good question, But at that point

you gotta ask what does God look for? What does God rid of look

more? Actually, you might not be at the wrong place. You know,

you might be easy exactly where you need to be, fully incompetent to

move unless God most say I got you. That's exactly where I want you

to be. You start with the faithfulness of God's faithfulness will take you to

the end. God will not check me you. I'd rather be paralyzed rather

than to move on my own. You gotta tell yourself one day that day,

Yumi right, it's okay. One. God is faithful, Yami right,

God is Oh, this is good? God is good? Amen?

How do you guys w understand what I'm saying? Now? The next one

it says here and bold to speak evil. Wow, what does it mean

the actually the verse Actually it's coming out from verse nine. No, no,

no, no verse nine no verse ten. Okay, it says here

they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, and in verse eleven says

whereas angels who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviding

accusation against them before the Lord. Yea, what does that mean? Now?

A lot of people will interpret that speaking evil dinitaries referred to angels and

parcels. Okay, this is a very important principle that I learned and I

will share with you. Guys. Are how do you interpret scripture? The

way you interpret scripture the safest way. It's not by feelings, it's not

by inspiration. The safest way to interpret scripture is through scripture. You'll use

scripture to interpret scripture. There's a power of scripture. Now, always teaches

one. Okay, there's the one thing I learned. I learned before scripture.

Interpret scripture. Okay, if you use your owner, you can feel

you a different way. Sometimes are if you feel like a certain way,

you can make the Bible say whatever you want to. It's dangerous enough,

but always rely on scripture. Interpreting scripture. Now in this case, do

we have a scripture to help interpret this? Yes, we do. Turn

with me to chapter one. Hey, this would be a good practice exercise.

Jude, Chapter one, verse eight. Hey, chapter one, verse

eight. Now, interestingly, in Jude is also talking about false talking about

their character. Okay. In verse eight here he says likewise, also these

dreamers, okay, defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of

the interies. Ah, I told you already, right, scripture interprease scripture

speak of evil. There, Now it keeps a bit more context about what

it is. Yet, Michael the arch angel, in contending with the devil

when he disputed about the body of Moses. They're not bring against him a

reviving accusation, but said the Lord rebuke you. But these speak evil or

whatever they do not know, and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts,

in these things, they corrupt themselves. Woe to them for their gone

in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the era of Baalim for

profit, and perish in the rebellion of Kora. Wow, now it's quite

interesting because where I started are now I ended up with our angel Micael and

Moses. How did I get here? What is he talking about? Here?

Okay, now we have better understanding these dignitaries. It's talking about who,

not the angels. He's talking about the fallen Angels Lucifer and is talking

about them now. So I told you there's a manner in which we should

deal with them, And how do we deal with them? Not by presumption,

not by stubborn wheel because this false profits, this false teachers in Peter's

time. They also claim to cast of demons. They also claim to heal

things. They also claim a lot of things. And then to lend credibility

to what they do, they will say very bold things, telling enemies do

they do to what? To lend credibility and power to the authority. I

told you before. They are very aware of their influence and they will be

very presumptuous to do these things. And what they will do, they say,

they say, what should we do? Then? So Jude here gives

a very good example for us to follow. He says about us the angel

Michael. He says, yet they are Angel Michael, the art angel in

contending with the devil Michael, the ar angurl was dealing with it was dealing

contenting with the devil about what the body of Moses. Okay, whatever is

about, it doesn't matter. Okay. They're not bringing against him a reviling

accusation means that he there not brings something or reviling against him. Now Michael

himself, they're not. They're bringing something like that to Lucifer. Okay.

But the most that he would do, the maximum means that the things that

he doesn't do presumptuously, but he does, he does within his authority and

limits. He just say the Lord rebuke you. Nothing more than that,

nothing more than that. But these people who are not even apostles, speak

evil or whatever they do not know, and they become like brute pies.

So we ourselves is, do not be drunk, be sober minded. Don't

be drunk with what you don't deal with, you don't not understand, and

you deal with and see or not. When you're presumptuous and you're stubborn,

it would god you to do things they're outside your domain, and God will

not be able to bless you into heart and to cover you. You know,

scarier, isn't it? It's true enough? Mark, and your Michael

won't even do it at all, as won't even do it. So what

do we learn here? No your domain? No your domain, even if

you feel with truth and everything else, No, you're domain. Don't be

a presumptuous Christian. You want to go and do anything, you want to

teach, anything, you want to speak, anything you want to buy,

and so call anything no your domain, because like I said, you must

don't fear the enemy. Fear God. Who does Michael fear? Does he

fear the enemy? Of course he doesn't fear the mean, But he dared

not say anything more. Not because he feared the enemy, because he feared

the Lord. He's the fear of a lot that gives us wisdom, the

fear of a lot at the beginning of everybody who cares far. You call

something here today, I hope for your own life as well. You want

to be covered, you want to be protected? No your domain? No

your word? Okay, how much time I have? Okay? Oh,

I need to progress it before that. I don't worry. If I can't,

I'll just finish whatever that I cannot. Okay, Now let's move on.

I'll cover just one more point okay, now verse twelve. Yeah,

yeah, let's go up to verse twelve, the depravity of false teachers.

But these like natural brute beasts yep, okay, made to be caught and

destroyed, speak evil of the things. They do not understand, and will

utterly perish in their own corruption, And we receive the wages of unrighteousness as

those who counted pleasure to carouse in the daytime. To carouse means to to

to to enjoy, to celebrate, to revel. You know. It's like

it's like, you know, they watch those Ludi tunesa you know, when

like you know, you know, like when they found something and then they

you know, they squeeze the YouTube, the toothpaste. They cannot stop squeezing

until still unt speeling up. Yeah, they cannot control theirsel Oh, not

squeezing out devils the brook beats and devils are like that one, not demons.

Oh, they cannot control themselves. So when they do, when you're

stuck in there all these evil things that you cannot control yourself, you know,

scary, isn't it. Oh, that's why that's what happening in the

world as well. They're reveling in it. And where am I crowding?

Okay? They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions. While

they feast with you means they eat with you. But then you know they

talk more and more, having eyes full of adultree, and cannot cease from

sin enticing and stable souls. They have a hard train in covetous p and

are cursed children. They are forsaken the right way and gone astray following the

way of bail them. The son of Beor who love the wages of unrighteousness,

but he was rebuilt it for his iniquity. A dumb donkey speaking with

a man's voice, restrain the man. The madness of the prophet. These

are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved

the blackness of darkness forever. Okay, it's pretty I think it's pretty much

straightful. I'm gonna move on for you. Let me move on to a

verse eighteen, Deceptions of false teachers, Verse eighteen, and he says here

for when they speak with great swelling of words of emptiness, they allure through

the lust of the flesh, through leutness, meaning what it's speaking inappropriately,

not especially in the physical and a sexual sense. Hey, the ones who

have actually escaped from those who live in error. While they promise them liberty.

I told you they always preach liberty, they themselves are slaves. They

preach freedom, but they themselves are slaves. Slaves of what corruption? Okay?

Of corruption? The world is I told you already it is. You're

either conform or transform. Conform to the world. The world is leading to

corruption. Okay. For by whom a person is overcome by him, also

he is brought into bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of

the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are

again and tangled because you go on, how do you get entangled? You

step into the light, ready into the other field, but yet you keep

looking back. And when you look back, when you don't watch your feet,

you know, you just your eyes are fixed on the past, the

things, the goal. You don't watch your feet. It's true, isn't

it. You get you want to reach whatever did you want? But you

realize that when you step into the world, you get entangled. It's like,

wow, why am I stuck in the mud, in the weeds and

the thorns. Your eyes are fixed, but your feets are being entangled.

Your feets are screaming, don't go by your eyes saying go yeah right.

That's why the Bible says, are the feet of those who are even are

swift towards destruction. The feet always points you see, you cannot walk without

your on the opposite direction of your feet direction. Right now, the feet

always talks about your heart. Okay, whatever your feet point is to,

that is where your true heart is. Going to your feet indicates your heart.

You cannot work that fit your feet your feet direction doesn't. That will

never, i would say, will betray your heart light you know, you

know, you know, you review what is it? Okay? So that's

a direction you get entangled in them and overcome. The later end meanings are

that you were free and now you entangled. This situation or coming back of

being entangled is worse for them than the beginning. You know, means that

if you've never been safe, are you probably be better now? You step

over and you come back and you get entangled. A think it's worse to

turn from the holy commandment delivered to them, but it has happened to them.

According to the true proverb, adult returns to his own vomit and the

soul having washed to her wallowing in the maya. Okay, so all this

it's a warning warning for each and every one of us, not just the

false teachers, that one to understand what true freedom is. True freedom has

been provided, but it's also a choice. God has delivered us, made

away for us step into the line to experience his freedom. But the thing

is, we are still all caught in this body, you know, right.

Our spirit has been saved. Now we've been made alive again, new

creation, but we're still start in the same body, same eye, same

heart, until we die. While to that, while that happens, we

still have the I'm ten with the world, I'll flesh. I still want

to eat sweet stuff. You know, I love sweet stuff. I'm going

going cup. No cup is hard, but men love sweet stuff when I

see you know the ladies. Well, sometimes you cut, of course,

there's last but you got to restrain yourself and you choose not to. Don't

do nonsenses. You know, every day we are saved by the most you've

got, not just for every day. Every day. Now, my wife,

that's why I need my wife to help me. You know, it's

like, wow, if I all my own I know, I tell you

if I'm not being saved, But right now, if I'm not being saved,

I probably I don't know where I am. I don't want to even

begin. All the nonsense and carnality that enters into my heart is evil.

It's evil only saved by the grace of God daily. Okay for us ourselves,

don't don't take it for granted. You know, don't take it from

granted. You know, when you're traveling. Man, women, you're traveling,

tell someone it seems like taking from granted. Tell someone. I've seen

so many men and women when they travel, not just men and women or

so they take of their wedding ring. Wow, they go there, Hey

I can use what's that ever? Tinder? Hey, no, only Tinder.

I tell you you go to Europe. But nowadays you when you book

your ticket, right, they actually give you an option. Now I think

it's in normal or something. Right, Well, you can choose that to

enter into situation. You can open for relationship. Scary, you know,

no, it is. It means if you sit in this row, you're

indicating willingly that you are open to network with people. See do you see

why is it powerful? Just the fact that you are just physically removed from

your normal place off of accountability, gives flats you and attacks you with all

sorts of entertainment and thought. And it's true. It's true. People.

I went to Kata Baru for the first time. I've never been there.

It isn't it's quite a different world. When I went out and I sit

in the in the in the in the cab right. The first thing that

asked me, do you want to go to the border. It's like,

why go to the border? I know you want to go bother I can

arrange today tomorrow we can go. Oh no, no, I don't.

I'm achieved meeting my audit team there. Oh it's okay, okay, let

me not give me my car. Then after that that day, my my

my young pastor called me, hey, man, I heard you being working.

I didn't forgot to tell him. I didn't. We not even realize

that this practice, you know, but by the grace how he caught me.

Oh I didn't know. Yeah, I know me. We know we

would try to call them, you know, just to check on them.

Okay. You know, some some people they will feel like this is Drauconian.

You know, you're like trying to parent me. You know, I

didn't see that way. I don't know. Oh okay, that's good,

no carrying pastoray. So I didn't realize it. But when later on,

when realized the border, it's like the where they all meet with the sex

workers from the thailandman, a lot of men go there, yep. So

I just realized that, Oh wow, okay. So now the fact that

you are caught and you people know where you are, there's another layer protection

ready, you know, seriously, lay your protection ready. So wherever men

or women, wherever you go, let people know where you are. Just

call, let your wife know where you are, Let your pastor know where

you are. You don't feel a pastor, okay, just let someone in

your homes for any way. I don't know. Well, you feel like

this is stripping off your pride value. You decide, you get to decide

what you want to do. But there's a type of there's a type of

people who would choose to leave in the funeral because they don't trust themselves.

I've learned that I don't trust myself a lot. I already I can't trust

myself that much. So in the same way, for you, yourself as

well. I hope that they will be the same as this. I tell

you one last thing is that these false teachers, I don't imagine that they

ever wanted to become now aim to become false teachers. I don't think that

whole I want to end up. Hey, let be a false prophet.

Let's become a like Bailim. You know they use a very good classic Bailiem.

The prophet. I don't think he came about. Hey, I want

to defy God's in our commandment to curse Israel. He didn't set up like

that, but God did not target him. But beware, enemy is targeting

you. You don't mind, you don't know it. You are making enemy

with the wrong people. Know your true enemy. No thyself, no the

Lord, and God's grace will come upon you. Amen. We hope you've
