Beware of False Teachings | Pr Matthew Chang

You're listening to a message to go from as church. We hope this message

will light up your day. So I will start with the reading of the

scripture here, so from a second Peter, chapter one, and I'm going

to read all the way until verse eleven. Okay, and so, and

I hope you have your Bibles with you. Do underline some key phrases,

and I will continue. Okay, Now from verse one, it says,

but there were also false prophets among the people, okay, even as there

will be false teachers among you who were secretly bringing destructive heresies, heresies meaning

teachings okay, even denying the Lord okay, meaning they deny that Jesus is

God okay, or the Messiah who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift

destruction. And many follow their destructive ways because of whom the way of truth

will be blasphemed by copeciousness. Underlying copeciousness, they will exploit you with theceptive

words for a long time. Their judgment has not been either, and their

destruction does not slumber, okay. So, referring to the fact that there

are a lot of the teachers who actually teach all these false teachings do not

believe in a judgment. They act and live as if there will not be

any punishment, you know, like as if you know, when you go

to school, you know some of these students or your friends are you know,

they keep, you know, mucking around as if the teacher is not

around, as if it will not be any reckoning upon it as well.

Now verse four and the title says doom or false teachers. Okay, doom.

Now in verse what it says, Well, if God did not spare

the angels who sing wow? Who are these angels? We can go into

a later bit part but cast them down to a head well, and to

deliver them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment. And did not

spare the ancient world? Okay, we can underline the part 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 Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to

those who afterward will leave ungodly and delivered Lord who was oppressed by the filthy

conduct of the wicked for that righteousness, for that righteous man dwelling among them,

tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless

needs. Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and

to reserve the unjust underpunishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who

walk according to the flesh in the last of uncleanness and despise authority. So

let me pause us for a while, so quick summary for this paragraph.

Basically, Peter underlines three examples of how God have delivered judgment, very clear

judgment, not just to one person but to the eyes of the public.

Okay, three examples. First of all, he used the example of the

angels. You might not see much in the book, but no, last

time, there is a book called the Book of Enoch. Okay, so

not included. But I'm not asking you to read the book. But they

know. The Book of Enoch mentions about the angels who were rebellious and married,

and they have children with women of the earth as well, and God

did not spare them and cust them down as well. So well, Peter

refers to Wit, there is some credibility to win, okay, but we're

not really using the Book of Enoch. Then the second example was the example

of Noah, and the third example is the example of Lots. So three

examples used by the apostle Peter. Then the next one is says, they're

in verse ten. These people, they are presumptuous self will they are not

afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. Who are these dignitaries we will talk about

and it's going to apply to you and I. Whereas angels who are greater

in power and mind, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the

Lord. Wow. Today we talk a lot about heaven and Earth. We'll

talk about Angel, We'll talk about Sodom and God Mora, we talked about

Noah. That's a very wide spectrum, you know, of our things they

will be covering here today. So when you know, Peter will be know

in this in this period, he he knows that his time is up.

And the greatest threat to the Church, of course, there are threats from

the outside of the church. There is the Roman authority, there are their

own people. The Jews are actually persecuting them as well, and they're not

very welcome by the Jewish community. The Greeks intellectually challenged them, but they

are neither friends of the Jews as well. But considering all his threats,

Peter deans that the greatest threat to the church is actually coming from the insight.

Okay, the insight teachers. What what's happening was that they were conducting

having service. There would be people who would have like one small group here,

one small group there, one small group here, one small group there,

different groups who will conduct their own Bible teachings and Bible interpretations. Okay,

it was actually happening. Okay, some people would take a source material.

Oh I got I man should get a letter from Paul. Let me

use the letter of Paul and interpreted. Hey, I think Paul's letter sounds

a lot more nice, sounds a lot more free. We feel like we

can do a lot more things. Okay, Peter's teaching a bit straighter,

you know, you know, you know you Paul says that we have liberty

and freedom in Christ. Paul preachers about grace. But Peter, you know,

a bit most structured, you know. So nowadays, how we have

this culture that we like to cherry pick as well. We go to YouTube,

you know, we said we look at preachers and stuff like that.

Hey, maybe I like this preacher, this preacher, preachers these topics.

I liked it. Okay, you know I was not gonna talk about AIM

used GGPT. People said like, oh, a deceptive or these people are

not telling the truth? Is it? Okay? How many of you think

that AI has connection to the end time? Wow? Wow? No one,

So you USEGPT. GGPT will not be anything associated with AI. Okay,

this is not my this is not scripture, la, this is just

my own interpretation. Okay. For anything to do, you must understand that

why is the agenda? Before we talk about the power of something, you

must talk about the agenda of the enemy first, get me right. You

must understand the agenda the enemy. Then you will understand his weapon of choice.

Ah, Send, don't talk about the weapon without understanding the enemy.

When you stand the enemy, you will understand his weapon of choice. Okay,

what is the enemy about to see all humans annihilated? That is not

his main objective? Enough, His main objective is what worship? More than

anything else, he wants He wants worshiped. He's the angel of worship,

isn't it in charge of worship? When he tempted Jesus. What he asks

from Jesus worship if you're bow down, kill, destroys part and puzzle of

it. But what he really wants is to demonstrate that he's glorious. He

wants allegiance. He wants worship more than anything else. But of course he

can't get the worship because only God is worthy, or worship isn't. God

is good. That is why when you look at the Garden of Freedom,

what does the devil tempt at them? And Eve? Did God really say

you will surely not die casting downknot on God's word, but on the character

of God. What is the glory of God? He's good? God is

good. A lot of us might not feel like God is good because you

might have different circumstances. Maybe you're going through a difficult time in your life,

or things has just been happening in your life. It starts to reign,

then after they become a mon soon from Raimi coome mon soon, and

he's still You're still starting the mon soon. It's very half for you to

say that God, you're so good. But I can promise you that after

at the end of life, when all it's been said, and done.

God is good. God is good, He's glory. God is good.

And what does the devil wants to go about doing? Is God really good?

God is good. He will not let you suffer. God is good,

He will not let the children die. If God is good, he

will about world peace to the world. Isn't it? Look at this?

Whoa throw so many in the world at will throw everything the kitchen sing at

you as want to say that God, so that you will decide in your

life that God is not good? This one isn't it? Then when God

is not good, what happens to you? Then you become unchained from your

creator? And who becomes God? You become God. You get to design.

That's what the tree promises. An the tree that promises knowledge of the

good and evil. You get to design, and you tell God. God,

don't tell me what is right and wrong in my life. Sometimes when

you have children that are unhinged, they say that thingsn't it, mommy,

daddy? Don't tell me what is wrong and right in my life? You

don't get to decide there. Oh, sounds familiar? Do we teach our

children? Then? But yet they somehow say things like that. You know,

I remember when I was young, I used to think like that.

I think I know better than my mummy and daddy. See, it doesn't

talk. It's not taught enough. Because we have this thing that came from

Adam and Eve. You know there wants to resist, to rebel, and

we call that sin. Sin at its core, to rebel against God.

That's why parenting is hard work, because you are going against the nature of

the child. You give in right, but it's needed more than anything else

to correct what they feel is so natural in their heart to rebel and to

resist. But God is good. Okay, So that's the objective of the

enemy. He wants worshiped. And so now how does AI come in too,

involve in the worshiping of the devil? Give in right. There are

three types of things that must happen, I believe for anything, weapons,

bit of use. First of all, it must have power in terms of

resources. Power in resources, okay, a lot of money, a lot

of army, could be a lot of things. There's number one. Second,

it must have a lot of intelligence as far as possible. Okay,

intelligence can outthink you, outsmart you. Okay, you have plenty of resources,

plenty of smarts. But the third one there has not been tapped yet,

okay, is that it has ultimate morality. You can use something that

has a lot of resources. You have, you know, believe in something

that has a lot of facts, but you would totally give yourself when you

think that it's always right. That's the danger. We have not gone there

yet, but that's the next frontier. When something is always has promises you

infinite resources, the fastest mind, and ultimate morality, then that crosses that

threshold. You get me in right. AI is powerful, it's useful,

but the moment it becomes the de facto right and wrong in your life,

then you've got to really watch out. Then the question is will Air I

ever get there? Next time? We were always asking how does it I

affect church? You know, how does I affect you? And I now

I preach a message. I may not be like message that you like.

You know a pastor preaching like that? Nah, don't like la. Hey

he never called me la. He never ministered to Mila. You know when

he lay hands on me, I don't feel that power, you know.

But then next time, what if Air comes out with a ministry? You

wear a watch. They can detect your hormone your heart rate, you know,

say like come to Lithen, Hey, Lithen. I noticed this whole

entire Manta, You've been feeling very sad. I notice at this hour,

at this hour, you always eat alone, and you your blood pressure drops.

I notice that your sleeping pattern has been dropping. But I also notice

that you really like to refer to this scripture and you like to hear this

particular message right now. Can I help to make your day better by ministering

to you spiritually, I give to you this sermon, or if you don't

not like, I can rewrite this, povertize this narrative, and deliver something

to you so that you can feel a bit uplifting. And then I realized

that whoa, this is custom and personal ministry. You're not delivering to me

the perfect verse and message I like to hear. Wow, and even give

me a playlist of worship songs that really means minister to me. You know,

it is even asking me to participate. You know, yeah, I

don't like this song list. I like this song list. Then after that,

they said, then then the air is having a positive effect on you.

Look at your blood pressure. I feel that you're more productive. You're

waking up better and doing this is that. So what happens then you see

the new generation will start to feel that it's effective. Effective, it's one

thing. But when they get used to it, they will not only say

it's effective, it is what is natural. When they start saying that it's

the natural thing. And when they go outside to meet people, family members,

friends, church leaders, and then they come and see people and people,

they become what disappointed people actually will hurt me. People will say things

and then do new things. People sometimes will be late, and people try

to speak, they fail to deliver what they want to deliver. I get

disappointed with it wold, and they will say that the world is the one

that is not natural. This is right. Then the world will change and

the a I will tell start to shape what their world is supposed to be,

and they will never want Then they will start stepping away from the world

because it's too painful. That's the danger of AI. When they change the

unnatural to become natural. It's happening in this world already. Didn't you realize

that? Now that's my thought. Anyway, that's my thought. And they

must understand why is the agenda of the enemy. Okay, he does not

just want to kill people destroy it. But yeah, but why he ultimately

wants it's worshiped? Okay, I don't know, no, I risk everybody

is scared, right, even the children as are scared right now? Isn't

it by school? At least it's come from me, not from your parents?

All right? Oh right? Okay, So the worst thing that I

mentioned here and they will speak what you want to hear. What sounds like

be like AI radio. I didn't mention, they didn't intend to talk about

AI, but I realized that's all the points are stunded like AI. I'm

not saying that AI is like wow, bad No, then not suddenly everybody,

okay, start buying land in Benttong and we're just harder there and you

know, you know, stay like a herbit weight on the eat organic food

and chicken only. Okay, nothing else, no Internet, No, there

is not what we want. Okay, you're like in the world. Okay,

you cannot lose your saltiness. Okay, you cannot be alive without we

know we know with with without shining your light, Okay, you have become

missalt and light. Okay, don't hide there in the pantry. Okay,

why am I talking about? Okay, So the first thing is said,

they speak what you want to hear. And that's the thing, isn't it?

So what is it? They know what you'd like to hear, all

these false teachers, they know what you'd like to hear, things that make

you feel good, they know what you'd like to feel. Okay, someone,

somebody, someone the idea was talking about, Hey, you know,

do you have all this investment schemes are they are scheming people? You know,

Hey, promise you're very high written and you put you know, it's

greater. You know, they can double your money in one year, maybe

triple your money in one year. But yet the people who actually fall for

it are the ones who are not young. But actually the all the ones

who are falling for it. It's funnier the all the ones are falling for

it. Why because they think that they're too smart to fall for it,

and they probably think they've done all the research already. You know, I

was, I was checking with somebody out there say that these schemes, you

know, are always the same one. They never change, same scheme.

But what they do they bring it to a different country. And that's one

ingredient they actually inject to make it new again. You know, why's the

ingredient you know what they called ingredient call it's not it's not an inspisor they're

ingredient. It's called energy. They inject new energy to it. They were

bringing a bunch of people, young people, and they will bring energy.

They will start to hype things up. Well, I don't never share with

this with you guys. When I was younger, it's a younger doubt.

This guy who you know, who kind of like sort of like kind of

like half try to half mentor me, you know, and then he said,

man, you know you got potential. You know, you know I

see intelligence, dedication, determination, all the things that you want, all

the DC okay. And then you know, I said like, hey,

you know, if you'll focus on it, are you being successful? And

they say, hey, man, you know, I want to pass on

something to you. And they passed me a package, you know, and

Insight got a CD and then said why is this, Oh, this is

a neuro linguistic tuning newro linguistic tuning. What they do is that it's not

just that you want to be rich, you have to rewire your mind the

way you think. When the way you think and what you want to feel,

you will reach out and you'll become a reality for you. Or I'll

tell you some of the things that speak there more spiritual that I can imagine.

No, And what they do is that you put on that thing in

your ear and then you hear, so it will start to tell you.

Imagine you are in an island. Imagine you are rich. Imagine you never

have to work anymore. You know all these things, and then you'll tell

you all what you want. Try to extract all your deepest desires and what

you want, and extract, extract, extract, extract, and pour yourself

out completely. Okay, And then it said rich for it. Don't make

it into a dream, make it a reality. What are you gonna do?

They give you to pour out and they make you run and all it's

like, you're get me right, and then you become successful. You give

me like what was like? WHOA? The more I heard that, I

just break it down ready, And they know all these type of things and

they feel you with energy you get I mean right now, they can feel

you with energy. You go to some companies that before they say you join

them, and they'll put you into what your WHATSEP group. And the first

thing he said it is not to tell you the rules of the company.

The first thing they do is to send you pictures of people who are successful.

And this guy bought a mercy this AMG not s series. This guy

went to talk to your first class. This guy. Oh, I was

like, okay, okay, okay, okay. So is this orientation,

Ah, that's just the beginning of me. So they paint you the picture

so that you will be driven or be like yeah, not your head already

because you're no one talking about, isn't it. So what does that say?

The world knows you very well. They will speak what you want to

hear. Okay, but be very careful. Doesn't mean it feels right,

means it's something that is wrong. God you go, I mean right.

In fact, the first temptation looks good to the eye, even so that

the fruit it looks like it's it looks beautiful. It's good for the body,

and it's able to make one wise enough, all your senses are tickled

enough, every part of your senses are tickled. So next time in your

life, when you make a decision, right, don't just go by your

feeling. So I feel so good, so right, even a girl or

a boy, it feels so good. It's all right. It's not it's

not right as well, you know, I mean right out of oh the

girls, this girl, you're only that one tree on it, that forebeaten

tree. You want to go, hi, yo, why understand what I'm

saying that it's the same old thing. But it's sometimes you say, no,

it cannot. You gotta step away and remember the word of God,

the word of God that is able to separate, to carve, to cut

through you know, bones and marrows and flesh. You get me in right,

and why the God say? And then you'll be able to answer,

Like Jesus, the word of God said, man shall not leave by bread

alum, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth off God. So

in your own life, when you come to a decision, and that when

someone comes and speak what you want to hear, would you be able to

say, I shall not leave by bread alone? Amen? So that's the

first thing. Next one, next life. They disguised themselves. Wow,

there will be preachers. No, the preachers, okay, leaders, Okay,

preachers are the only one group people, Okay, there'll be people Christians

who will use the same vocabulary praise the Lord. Hosanna, Hey, you

are doing things for the Lord who preaching all the same thing? Okay,

same votcap, different meaning, same vodcap different meaning when you say we will

serve the Lord, the Lord serving seems a bit different. Now, why

are you asking me money and put in your bank account? One? You

know why you need me to buy this like that? You know you can

mean? Right? It's they have they They say the same thing, but

they have different meaning. Why now, oh, we will, of course,

you know, you know, be humble and something to the Lord.

But yet how come on, they are the interpretation that is, you know,

backbiting and rumoring and spreading all these costsips one and a yet mean right,

oh, but we're doing so that we can be able to be more

faithful to the world. Are you sure? Sounds very iff he you know

it? Give me right? These people? And the thing is that a

lot the thing is that people who are wolves, okay, don't even know

they are wolves. They only know they are wolves. When one wolf starts

to how it used to be a preacher who told me this? Say,

man, you know there's are wolves are not because they have their sharp teas.

You know, you know they have wolves when they start howling like the

adults. You know when you see wolves are they don't how on their own

one when they hear from a distant one wolf howling. Oh, then the

wolves then they're blood rageous on their blood changes. Now you know it talk

us about a doctor, you know, and not mean you know you want

to make children, okay, but it talks about you're raging up you know,

means that not a dog or a can or any anymore. The blood

turns to you know, red and hot. So a wolf doesn't know that.

But in their hearts when they are not clean and pure, when they

get a sniff of gossip or something tasty or how they they start to release

their own nature. So you and I, as believers who have been saved

by the grace of God, be very watchful, observe and watch people when

they hear a gossip, when they hear us something okay that it's not about

love, forgiveness, grace, not doing and sustaining in the work of the

Lord. But yet they're like, oh, they like to chew, they

like to bite and take a bigger bite and bigger bye. Watch be watchful.

Some of these people they don't know they are howling and they are acting

like wolves scarier. But it's true, isn't it. It's true. Watch

Do they want to take another bite? Take another bite? Take another bite?

That is not what the Bible calls us to do. A bibos will

hold back and restrain. Don't say anything more than you should. Okay,

in a little while, I'll tell you another about another part. Some of

these teachers will even say things they are beyond the authority. They will not

only say things about you know, humans, they will say things about angels

and even demons, and that as well. The Bible has teaching for us

what we should do speaking about things that we don't understand, speaking about things

they are of heaven and earth, that we should also have a restraint on

it. Even the Bible teachers that will go through the late later, Okay,

they disguised themselves. The third one there will deny Christ, but not

up front. But there are many religions. They believe in Jesus as well.

They Beliegenus is a good teacher, Jesus is a great prophet, Jesus

is a great healer. Yeah, all they will say, they will.

But the one thing that you will deny Christ is not what not to say

that he is not a good person. You will deny him when you say

that he is not God, because that's the most important thing. You know.

You can believe in Jesus. Even the devil believe in Jesus, the

demons believe in Jesus. Jesus can be a good teacher, can be a

good healer, but the most important person that Jesus needs to be in your

life is not good healer nor teacher. He needs to be Lord. Because

when he is Lord, it demands a response from you. You give me

right. Being a good teacher, good healer, all the sun doesn't really

demand a response now, but when he is Lord, it demands a response.

And what response is that submission. And that is one thing that people

cannot give. You get me right to say that Jesus is Lord requires submission,

and they will deny because it requires dilligence. You can't be in right.

That is the hardest thing for them. So that is one thing you

will see, you can tell you. That's why you see when you hear

people talk you've got to be able to sniff through all the smell, all

the all the decorations and all the icing. Okay, what is really insight

there is Jesus. You can tell me anything, all the nice things about

Jesus, but it is Jesus Lord. Is Jesus Lord about your life?

That's the one thing. So a person may not have the coltings in all

the different trappings of a good christure. But if you look at the person's

life in submission to the Lord, he's pure in your own life as well.

I'm not looking at you like, oh, you must have all this

no resume of ministry, you know, Ah, Pastor Elvin, I come

to you. I want to serve today. I think I should preach.

I shall have equal preaching time as you as well because of my ministry.

Resume doesn't work like that one. People, it doesn't work like that one.

Or some of you are laughing. Don't be a resumes like that.

God doesn't resume. It's okay. So that's the first. That's the next

one. They will deny Christ. There will be popular, of course,

there will be popular. And what what what do we learned earlier in diversity

in verse two essay? And many you underlying their part and say many will

follow their destructive ways because why because of the earlier things to be said before?

They preach what you want to hear, isn't it they preach what you

want to hear, they boil your blood, you know, and then the

same things that they are so smart, so intelligent, but yet so destructive.

Unfortunately, there's the truth many, and how should that affect you?

Just because you see people leaving, just because you see family members leaving,

just because you see one of your most faithful friend group of friends are leaving,

doesn't mean you should follow. I'm not saying they are wrong or what

it is. You have to decide to stay based on the word of God

for you, you get what I'm saying here. I'm not cussing out anyone,

but that's the truth. When I was in Melbourne, I wanted to

stay in Melbourne because everyone wanted to stay in Melbourne, lovely beautiful. I

really wanted to be members less beautiful. But God say that, man,

faith is only hearing my word and my voice alone and nothing else. You

really believe that, you really really believe that only by the word of God

and said no, God said no, I know I have not given you.

I'm not asked you to stay. Stay here, even though you might

suffer, even though you might not get paid as much, even though you

might not saw God be blessed as much. But you stay because you hurt

my voice. You become like the present generation of Abraham. You got me

in right? Are you an Abraham? Give me right? Leaving your place,

going to a place until God said stopped you stop. You'd be like

an Abraham living. You may be living in a tent, you may not

have learned inheritance and not be like oh the rest of buddy, but you'd

be like an Abraham stepping out of the comfort zone. But when you look

into the sky, you only see God's faithfulness, and that makes you stay.

And that is enough. You get me in right? Here is enough,

There's good enough. God is with you. Okay, next one,

they were covered. Unfortunately they will one of the things that you will see.

These people, they say they are free. They're preaching now, Paul

preachers freedom. We've been saved by grace. We're no longer bound with the

law, or we can do whatever we want. All our things, all

our penalty, or our summons are already been paid ready. So if you're

paid, you know, if DBK or MVPJ gives one time discount all your

summons paid for one ring on it, would you go and settle it right

now? You will settle it right then after that tomorrow you will go and

part illegally. Again. Defeats the purpose, isn't it? Isn't it?

It defeats by you're all smiling. You're all like smiling. Well, it's

true, isn't it? It defeats the purpose, isn't it? We are

free not to go back. No, Sometimes you don't settle your someone,

you cannot You cannot renew your license, you know, isn't it you cannot

renew a license? Of course there it's like you know, you can say

police someone versus DBK or someone, okay, but if you don't settle it,

you cannot proceed on the idea? Is that so that you will obey

the law, you will transform your life, you will commit your life and

new or not to live like they again? But these people say they are

Christians, they are free, but yet when you look at their lives,

they are slaves. Slaves to what slaves to coverageiousness? Isn't it free?

But slaves free. But there's still one last after the things of the world.

So you can tell by their lifestyle that they are not free. Okay,

So there is a type of freedom that the world will preach to you

and I there's a type of freedom that the world will demonstrate and try to

lure you in, but it is not freedom. By spending this, by

going this, by having this, you will have freedom. But no,

it's a slavery. You get what I'm saying here. Sometimes like it's good

and not to see things in, isn't it once you see it? Unhrd

to unsee? Once you find a nice watch, a man, I really

want to watch that which stick in your mindful like no one two months one

wow? Once you can see. Once you go to meet someone or are

they renovated your new house? Are why you want to renovate your new hounds?

While someone who are buying a new Tesla? Why are you want to

buy a new Tesla already? Like so I'm buy a new iPhone? Or

you wanted to buy a new iPhone already? Are you free? No?

Your slaves, I'm not. I speak for my own experience of people.

I know exactly what it feels like, okay, next one there will be

presumptuous, stubborn and vote to speak evil. Okay, let me go through

that verse again. Okay. Verse ten it says that they are presumptuous self

will they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, and verse eleven it

says, whereas angels who are greater in power and mind do not bring a

reviling accusation against them before the Lord. So why is he talking about?

So Peter is talking about these teachers who when they teach right sometimes are they

know the argument, No, it's not that stronger. Okay. And you

know what humans like to like to do. You know, either when we

got into it, like you know, when we talk with friends, or

we taught you know, in officers, or we talked with people. Hey,

you know sometimes children say, hey, my daddy can do this,

my daddy can do this, my daddy can do this. My daddy can

leave fifty kilo my day, they can leave hundred killo, my daddy can

leave five hundred kilos. My daddy can leave your house. You know what

is going on? It's like, you know, why why they're trew,

why they're making bigger and bigger claims. Why do they do that because they

want to establish authority. They want to establish credibility, isn't it. So

they attach themselves with something bigger, stronger, and bolder. And that is

why we should not take the name of the Lord in vain in the last

time. They don't have contracts, you know. So if I make a

contract elk were pastor Elvin here sometimes to say that, hey, I'm credible

as it, or I will swear by someone's grave, I will swear by

my house, I will swear by this, by this, by this,

and start going higher and higher, you start to use the name of the

lord, and by staying that there's established credibility in that transaction. That's just

wrong. And so everybody in the marketplace was like using the name of the

Lord. You know, I would buy your fish, I will pay you

back, I swear it by this, by this, by this, by

this. Okay, Now, what these teachers were doing they were not just

doing that. They were starting to say what hey, demon, hey angels,

hey, this and this and this, and then talking in heaven is

for sure, and said that you bow down, you do this, you

do that, you oh, you come and do It's like, you know,

having a real time strategy game. You know, hey, you do

this, you move there, you move there. Then Peter Apostible that has

something to say about this, is this if this dignitary? Is is it

talking about people or is it angels? Now the way to go about it,

if you want to interpret scripture, is always using scripture. You're never

in preat on your own. So let's turn to chapter one. Okay,

as I draw to a closely shortly, okay, let's draw to another scripture

and fully understand what second Peter is really talking about, and then I will

tell you how this particular point will affect into our own lives as well.

Okay, Jude, Chapter one, verse eight, and he says, you're

likewise also these dreamers. Okay, Jude's talking about who all these false teachers,

these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

Same type of words he's using here, But he uses another example yet,

Michael, Michael, the art angel. Okay, in contending with the

devil, when he disputed the body of Moses. They're not bringing against him

a reviding accusation, but said the Lord rebuke you Wow, how many of

you actually memorize this verson you probably wouldn't write. How does this supply?

What is this trying to make sense? Why is why you're talking about this

verse at all? He is saying, Okay, when the art Angel came

to the body of Moses, we're talking about the resurrection of Moses. The

devil came about and brought an accusation against Moses, saying that Moses is not

as righteous as you think he is. He has murdered people before, he

has not self willingly at the first few times, before he'd broken the tablet.

So the devil will do this to you as well. Now when we

are being trying to be raised by the Lord, the devil will bring an

accusation saying that why you shouldn't be, isn't it? The devil is always

after you. Accusations, accusations, accusation. But then the art Angel was

there to bring the body of Moses. Despite all the nasty things and evil

things that the devil will say about Moses, yet the art angel, Michael,

they're not saying anything reviling to him. What is it trying to say

to us? Okay, he's saying to us that if our angel. If

the our angel Michael will not say these things to the devil, how is

it that we, who are lesser than him dare to say these things even

more boldly against these people. That's why it says in verse ten. But

these speak evil or whatever they do not know, and whatever they know naturally

like Bruce Bruce based. These people are not speaking in wisdom. They think

like by saying, oh, this and that the devil the angels and say,

you think you are smart, you think you are powerful. Now you

say that you are like a wow beast and tame and unhinged, and in

these things you are corrupting yourselves. Just doesn't mean that you say bigger and

bother things that means you are better. You know, it's a form of

corruption. He the scripture says one. No, it's clearly in the scripture.

So don't go about and say that the demon come out of you and

then you know not everything is like that. No, you don't speak of

things you do not know. But restrain most important thing what you should have

in your life, the fear of the Lord. Be discerning and watchful the

most of the things that just the Lord rebuke you. I enjoy the engelight

go only said one thing. The Lord rebuke you. That's it. You

know no more than that. Don't be presumptuous thinking that you know better and

stuff like that. But the fear the Lord guard you got your mind,

got your tongue, so that you'll be spared and not corrupted. Okay,

sometimes you see TV people do say these tile things are not low COVID leave

out of you like what, be very very careful. Okay, be very

very very careful. This is the what the Bible says to us. Don't

in your own life as well. When you feel like, oh, this

is the job that you want, or this lady or this guy is what

you want, you'll say this is God's will. Ah, be very careful,

be very very careful saying this is God's will. People come up to

me and say that, oh, I really feel that this is God's will.

Share you sure, Why do people want to say that this is God's

will? Want to say that to let me know that you're really prayed to

really know you know that your heart is sincere and pure. You want my

approval or another leader's approval, your mom's approval, your dad's approval, your

friend's approval. You see, you know we want approval one or all one

of the great corruptions and temptations. We want approval. We want to be

seen like we are spiritual, we are righteous, we have done everything that

we do. But the truth is we are not there. And I can

honestly say that I've been there before. But we got to be a watchfood.

He said that this is the will of God. What don't say?

These are things if the Lord permits, I deem, if it's necessary,

this may this may be good game in right, there are things that you

may not be God's will. But it's good. Fine, it may not

be God's it's good, it's fine, it's permissible. Stick with it.

Put your name on it. Be a man. I would say, don't

use God's name. You mean Ryan when you use God's and you're trying to

hide behind him. But Christians do that all the time nowadays, isn't it.

You don't say what I'm saying. You know, it's very very important.

You may mistay own up to it. Don't just say that all this

is I feel that this is God's will. Know if you do like that,

you approach every minister like that, every person in your family like that,

every friend like that. This is God's will. Nobody can say anything

to you. What does that tell me about you? You're rebellious because you

don't want counsel. You just want to shut me up and say that you

can do your own life. Okay, look, really, I'm not forcing

myself. You're the one way telling it to us. Yeah, I mean

Ryan, So be very clear. Now, these are the temptations from the

evil one to learn to our heart to hide. You know, if you

want to take that job, go and take it. Don't say it's the

Lord, say unless really God came and say you know, unless yes,

But even if you feel very convicted, even I felt in my heart,

just say it like that, so that you take responsibly of your own thoughts

and you realize that you will grow even father even further. You will be

even more mature than that because you take responsibility of it, and God will

bless you for it. You get me right, God will say, look

at you, this person and this lady is willing to admit a line to

learn the mostes, Go and kill the person. Oh, I think this

is God's will. No no man in the Bible can be taught, can

be nurtured by God. If that's say like that, you get me in

right? No, man, but we want to be safe, we want

to be prone, So we must restrain our voice. We must restrain no

this ungodly courage. You got me in right, Take the responsibility. You

want to leave, you want to leave, you want to stay, you

want to stay, you want to move on, you want to move on.

Take responsibility of it. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
