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

  2. will light up your day today. I'm continuing on a sort of like a

  3. three to four part series or second Peter. So the last time I spoke

  4. to you guys, I'm gonna give a very quick introduction and then we will

  5. move on. Okay. So for the second Peter is the apostle. Peter

  6. writing not just to one particular church, He's writing to all the churches,

  7. okay. And he knows that he is going to die, but and he

  8. also knows that the church is facing a very unique challenge, not a unique

  9. challenge, but a very very important time of their lives. They have very

  10. powerful enemies from everywhere, from the Romes, from the Greeks, from the

  11. Jews, and now from inside the church as well. Everywhere, and it's

  12. like you're from every every neighbor that you see it. But now inside the

  13. house they are having enemies as well. And so Peter actually says that the

  14. highlights that you know, outside threat is one, but the inside threat are

  15. the enemies within the inside the church are always the most dangerous one. You

  16. know that you know sometimes when you fight a common enemy everybody can come together.

  17. But when there's no common enemy and everybody start fighting among themselves, isn't

  18. it you know, they start to look at each other's imperfections, you know,

  19. start to have what they call it a disgruntledness, and people start to

  20. what they call it break away and start to fight. And one of the

  21. things that happened to the churches was that there was a lot of false teaching

  22. that was happening as well. And you will see a lot, you know,

  23. nowadays you don't have to go to other nations to see it. You

  24. can see it happening in Malaysia, in the schools, in the society right

  25. now online. The world is changing. The world is having a new kind

  26. of UH or they call it message that they want to shape the world.

  27. They want to change the world according to what they perceive is right and wrong

  28. as well. How many of you use CHEGBT here? How many of you

  29. believe in AI or do you think that it's just hype money? Do you

  30. think it's just hype? It's a tool? People will say, like,

  31. you know, actually, I wanted to do a talk eventually on AI and

  32. what we think as church, what AI will become when I give you what

  33. I think. I'm not saying what the Bible says. It's just an opinion,

  34. Okay. I'm very careful too to qualify what I say. But I

  35. believe that a very short preview. I believe that there are three requirements,

  36. okay, for a to be relevant in the Bible, and and what it

  37. competes and how it is the anti god. Okay, So there are three

  38. things in the enemy. We're talking about the devil Satan, right, if

  39. he wants to you know, and why is his agenda? You start with

  40. a motivation? What is his agenda? He doesn't want just to destroy you,

  41. Yes, he wants to destroy you, but he has other agenders.

  42. You know, his agenda is to be that one. What was his initial

  43. agenda? He didn't just created Hey, I just want to destroy humans?

  44. You know he's he. When he was created, he was an angel,

  45. isn't it. He was an angel of worship, in charge of music.

  46. But what causes down for? What did he desire most of anything? Else?

  47. Worship? So the devil, his desire is always one worship. You

  48. don't destroy you just to like wipe you out of the earth. He wants

  49. to destroy you because he wants your worship more than anything else. Whether your

  50. life is ruined, anything in your life is ruin is one thing. He

  51. doesn't get glified. He wants to get glorified. He wants to take the

  52. glory from God. You're having right. So to take glory away from God

  53. is to either diminish God and to glorify himself. He's get me right.

  54. So how does he diminish God in your life? He can diminish God in

  55. your life by ask making you ask questions, why why good things bad happen

  56. to bad people? Give me right? Getting you to think like, why

  57. is life so unfair? Why? Why why things happen to me and not

  58. other people? Why does it make why? It doesn't make sense? Get

  59. me right to question God's goodness? That is why the temptation in the garden

  60. and in the in the garden Eden. What's what the tree of the knowledge

  61. of good and evil? Not because whether you're smart or not, it's about

  62. good and evil? Is God good or its God good? Is God evil?

  63. Are you good? Or are you evil? There's always the agenda what

  64. is God? Is God really good? And why is the world the world

  65. relieved that bad? If it's the world's really clearly bad. You wouldn't pursue

  66. it isn't it. But you believe in something that, hey, it's okay,

  67. somehow, somehow good. That's why you still pursue. So that's the

  68. agenda of the devil. Okay. And I believe that I can be just

  69. a tool, it can be just another fan. But if AI can achieve

  70. three things, then it can be used by the devil. Treat things.

  71. Okay. For anything there to be useful, it must have power, power

  72. in terms of resources. Either it's an army. He has money, it

  73. has authority, this tat this number one power, he must have a lot

  74. of power. Second one, it must have a lot of knowledge. Okay.

  75. Means that whatever that you say, it can say it better. It

  76. thinks faster, smarter, quicker than you, has access to anything, wisdom

  77. beyond anything. Okay, these two things almost there already, AI, correct.

  78. Now you can think faster, I can do more things already, And

  79. it's learning learning, and it's learning faster than you are. Most of all,

  80. we stop learning after we learn, after we finish university and causing a

  81. way, but it's still learning, you know. Imagine learning at the same

  82. pacer for years and years with all the information, learning every single thing.

  83. The third thing that it doesn't have yet, okay, is ultimate morality.

  84. Ultimate morality means that no matter what you say, you will always agree that

  85. it's right. When an entity has as limitless, limitless power, limitless knowledge,

  86. and limitless morality, then everybody will worship it. When will we start

  87. come to a stage when we say that AI is right, that is that,

  88. that is that boundary that is being veryy tricky. Right now he gave

  89. me right. You can't have use it. But the day it said it's

  90. right, you see, you can't have your children use it. In a

  91. wow, very powerful, as very useful, very good, we say that

  92. whit if I can track you like it becomes a pastor you can wear a

  93. digital watch or band or I it can track you. Hey, let's say,

  94. Raphael, I noticed, not this whole month, not from on Wednesdays

  95. and Fridays, you're very stressed out your corti soul and your blood pressure is

  96. super high. But I also notice, and then you know, because at

  97. this hour it must be very stressed out and work, and I you know,

  98. I noticed that. You know when you listen to this song or you

  99. will hear this passage, your your heart rate improves, your mood improves,

  100. you know, stuff like that. So can I give you this particular scripture

  101. to inspire you? Maybe I can come out with a customized mess sermon to

  102. also minister to you. Oh, and it works. And then after a

  103. while you become so used to this type of ministry. You know why you're

  104. used to it because it makes you feel better. What you feel is you

  105. might think is undeniable. I can't deny this feeling. Why do you think

  106. we have infatuations in life when you meet someone that's like, oh, I

  107. can't deny this feeling because the feeling is real to you. Correct, No,

  108. you may not know this person, but your feeling is so strong.

  109. I want to go after this person ready. So feelings are powerful, very

  110. powerful. So the moment that the a I can make you feel that way

  111. and you're start like, WHOA, I think what the world they say is

  112. right? And you know only way you say it is right, you will

  113. start to say what it is it is natural. And so what happens to

  114. you? Then what happens to the church people who are being ministered by AI

  115. who will always follow you seven days twenty four hours. And this I will

  116. never disappoint you because they know how you feel, they know what you want.

  117. Everything you desire, you will they will fulfill it. Now in the

  118. Bible, is there any place that looks very similar to that where all the

  119. way from the very beginning, at the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and

  120. evil? Eve was all alone? Isn't it? When he was it was

  121. alone? She was at the tree a tree that was that that looks good

  122. for the body, And there's beauty that there's pleasant to the eye and good

  123. for the body. One they will make one wise? Isn't it one wise?

  124. Why one day that everything you do is not just fast educated, but

  125. always right? What's what world does? Human? One? They always want

  126. to be right when you why. That's why you argue, isn't it?

  127. That's why you go online and then you type your opinions. Isn't it?

  128. Humans crave what power and being right right in their own eyes? And one

  129. day you're so right, and you will say that this is right, and

  130. you will say God is wrong and humans will be totally departed from God.

  131. There is where I will be a powerful Do you agree me? I don't

  132. have a problem. That is fast enough. But I have a problem that

  133. where everyone that humans will start to say that AI is right, and when,

  134. well, when will we ever get there? Who knows? There is

  135. my opinion. Okay, three things infinite resources, infinite knowledge and infinite truth

  136. and morality scary. Okay, I haven't gone to a message. So it's

  137. funny, isn't it. We started from the garden Eden. Now now humans

  138. are coming back in the garden I Eden. The tree of the knowledge of

  139. good invert is a different version right now. It's not a tree, it's

  140. an AI. What do you choose? You choose AI, you choose what

  141. the world tells you it's so powerful, you know, or you choose God.

  142. Yeah, it comes back to that one. That's why I revelations.

  143. I think in Revelations seven or Observation fourteen, he says that then then and

  144. the the when when the Antichrists creates a he won't create an actual biases,

  145. he creates an image of the piece, not the Actually it's an image.

  146. You know why. It's an image. Image means it's not real. It's

  147. a projection, isn't it? Nowadays? What do we see images? Isn't

  148. it? Everybody would agree, one even the world leaders would agree that it's

  149. right, and everybody wants to agree that is right. Then there's and reading.

  150. Okay, let's move on. Let's move on to the Second Peter chapter

  151. two. Okay, there's quite a lot of verses, but I won't go

  152. through all of them, probably a cover of few and because of time.

  153. Okay, let me track my time by eleven, I need to finish,

  154. right, Okay, good, All right, Let's reach Second Peter chapter two.

  155. Verse one, it says here, but there were also false prophets among

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

  157. bring in destructive heresies, heresies meaning one false teaching king, even denying the

  158. Lord. Okay, so one the false teaching was there. They were saying

  159. that Jesus is not God and Lord okay, denying the Lord who bought them,

  160. and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways,

  161. not just one, and not many people will follow them, because of

  162. whom the way of truth will be blaspheme. Okay, the way of truth

  163. will be a blaspheme. And by covartiousness, they will exploit you with deceptive

  164. with deceptive words, for a long time, their judgment has not been eitherm

  165. and their destruction does not slumber. Okay. Now by the last one,

  166. now by the versetry is says, by covartiousness, they will exploit you with

  167. deceptive word for a long time. Their judgment that's not being either. It

  168. talks about the church and also the leaders and also the believers. You know,

  169. they look at all some of these people who teach very obviously wrong things,

  170. evil things. But a lot of believers are questioning, but how is

  171. it that God has not done anything to them? How come they are still

  172. who leaving successful, they are still prospering in their own ways when it's God's

  173. judgment is going to come upon them. So Peter is trying to tell them,

  174. no, no, no, don't be deceived, don't get discouraged.

  175. Okay. He says that for a long time, their judgment has not been

  176. idle, and their destruction does not slumber. You gave me right say the

  177. judgment is coming, and it literally in verse four all the way until verse

  178. eleven, Peter tells you tries to tell to teach the church through the Old

  179. Testament, how God delivers his judgment. Why is he so patient and and

  180. how the judgment comes swiftly. And because God keeps receipts. You know what

  181. does it mean now? Keeping receipts? Huh, keeping receipts, Keeping receipts

  182. where God remembers some of us kip receipts. One, no matter what you

  183. spend for your company, and you kip receipt on all the receipt single one,

  184. the high boss, here is my receipt what so many receipts? You

  185. claim? People the kid receipts? No, not everything. One fire stands

  186. also cli we claim. Remember God remembers everything. Yeah, now, and

  187. try to be sin regard actually remembers everything. He knows every single one of

  188. them. Okay, but all of us has been paid by Jesus. Amen.

  189. Okay, So let's go through the slides. Did you get my slights?

  190. Girl? Okay? Just very quickly. Okay, So second beat the

  191. chapter two. Let's go for the first. First. So the first thing

  192. that we will know from false teachers. Okay, I'm sharing a few guys

  193. so that you guys will be aware for yourselves. First of all, they

  194. speak what you want to hear. Of course, if they don't speak what

  195. you want to hear, why would you listen? Isn't it speak what you

  196. want to hear instead of speaking about sin? About hey, you know if

  197. you do not repent, you know God will punish or God will deliver a

  198. judgment. They entice people with promises, with promises that actually what tingle the

  199. year, tingle, the heart, tingled, the answers, tingle your ambition

  200. and your desires. And when they sit, when he says that, then

  201. they speak what you want to hear. It means they know actually what you

  202. want to hear. They know your appetite, and they'll know your hunger.

  203. Actually, and you know that you also involved and be a finance no.

  204. Every few years are someone here here and there would tell me, hey,

  205. you know one God, this investment schema can deliver seven to twelve percent every

  206. month. One. I was like, whoa, this means you're better than

  207. Warren Buffett and already you know seven tow percent or every month. You know.

  208. I was like, wow, okay, what banks are? You know?

  209. It means that over a year you can almost earn like two hundred percent,

  210. and now you're pret hundred you can earn like three hundred and over a

  211. year. You know, wow, if you see um, they understand that

  212. they will. What what what people do is that they try to stretch,

  213. you know, like by me or they're stretching you see, a bit quick,

  214. a fool. But then when they stretch out, when they make a

  215. big volume amount of they are oh it looks like a lot of noodles.

  216. You know, Yeah, this is the same thing thing people do it they're

  217. stretched. Okay, hey seven percent, you put in one thousand. I

  218. tell you over five years are you don't need to work anymore? You don't

  219. need to work anymore. And the thing is this is this thing has existed

  220. for the past twenty thirty years. How can people still fall for it?

  221. And I'm not talking about people are I know church members are who know fall

  222. for real until now? And these are not nor people who are not educated,

  223. very educated and successful people who want you know, very educated and successful

  224. people you look at it that you will buy that out and be shocked,

  225. you know. But actually the lead, the people who are less educated,

  226. the ones that this is a scheme, this is a scam, they know

  227. very well. It's so obvious to them. They're not so obvious. But

  228. the more educated one, I'm just so surprised. They will fall for it,

  229. and they will tell you it's okay, I've done the research and stuff

  230. like that. But you see, there's what happens then greed blinds people.

  231. So every year, So how can twenty thirty years people still for the same

  232. thing. And I dig a bit deeper insight and I found out from the

  233. syndicate, from people who know the syndicates one or Osta got law accessor you

  234. know what they always do. They always inject one main ingredient inside this scheme.

  235. They inject one energy. They inject energy. They know one once while

  236. they will come up with a different name. Okay, they're probably not operating

  237. that. It used to be a big, big syndicate in Binang, Okay,

  238. one big one, and then they got chased out. Now then now

  239. they operate in Thailand, and then they will start in Thailand. Then then

  240. they'll put a new name that will have a classroom and put that in the

  241. inject energy. Do you want to be like this in five years time?

  242. Where will you be? You know, giving the best life for your wife

  243. and for your children. You sell all these things, you know, believe,

  244. belief, belief ah As someone come to me and say, hey,

  245. mad, you know remind me of my younger self. Hey, you know,

  246. I really want this successful you that I've experienced as well. And he

  247. gave me this package, you know, his book CD. And then he

  248. said, mad, before you sleep, I want you to put on this

  249. CD and put it on your ear and listen to it before you sleep every

  250. night. I'd be like, I was like, what is this? You

  251. know? Look at it. It's like, oh, it's a it's a

  252. it's a meditative thing, you know. So they believe in neurological rewiring.

  253. Rewiring neurological means you start to rewire intentionally at night. You stay I am

  254. rich, I am rich. Project what you want to be? Where you

  255. are right now? Project project project? You are rich. You will succeed,

  256. you will. So they why are you minding on? And so are?

  257. They try to change the way you think and where you speak. So

  258. you start to do that and change of faith? You want to do that

  259. as well. How many do we have students here? I'm telling you right

  260. now where things are that people won't tell you one? Okay, So be

  261. careful of people who try to promise you a lot of things. A lot

  262. of people want to use young people. This is the truth. That's the

  263. truth. Are young people here, that's the truth. Many many of the

  264. rich people they want to use young people because you're full of energy. I

  265. told you before, what do they want to change? Why did they inject

  266. energy? That's the one thing they're want energy and energy is there even the

  267. all will go as well. Sometimes you go to this conferences that you see,

  268. Hey, how are they're like fifty sixty year olds, you know,

  269. because they feel like they missed the book and they want to jump on made

  270. full of energy. You know, they will recommend to all their friends and

  271. families how to buy it after the die. Anyway, I'm just sharing with

  272. you guys again, same thing that was employed in the world they're employed in

  273. the church as well, the false teaching. They know what you want to

  274. hear, they know what you want to feel, and so they speak your

  275. language, the language of Babylon. Okay. Next one they disguise themselves.

  276. They will disguise themselves wolves among ships. Okay. They use the same words

  277. bless Jesus, Hosanna. Hey, you're from X church. I'm from X

  278. church as well from Extra Hey, I visit the Extra Rutch as well.

  279. Who praise God. You go to cell group, You go to homes,

  280. Yes, I go to homes as well. Yeah, you know, we

  281. all serve the law. We want to give glory to God. They all

  282. have the same volcap, but they have the different dictionary. Okay, same

  283. volcap, different dictionary. Okay, can say the same thing. Enough about

  284. you check their life what they actually mean? Hey, dictionary mean differently?

  285. You want to know. So it's very hard to distinguish, you know,

  286. what is the skin or what compared to what is the substance? Okay,

  287. they disguised themselves, then they would. They will never tell you that.

  288. Oh I'm like that. Never. Never. You will probably never get a

  289. very clear truth from them. You will never extract it that from them one

  290. okay never. But you gotta have the discernment to see and run away.

  291. Sometimes I'm basery understand what I'm saying. That's why you gotta know your truth.

  292. You know, you cannot depend on someone else to tell you what the

  293. truth is. You gotta know your Bible. You cannot say, hey,

  294. mom, and then every time I tell my children that I won't be there

  295. all the time to tell you why he's right and wrong. You gotta know

  296. for yourself. You gotta right, You gotta know for yourself. It won't

  297. always be there. The truth is you can't be depend on Church always be

  298. there, past ahead anytime you want. How Hey, can you tell me

  299. this is right and wrong? No, she won't always be there. I

  300. mean right. You gotta know for yourself. That's why you gotta invest in

  301. yourself. You know, to really in the world so that you know yourself

  302. are built up. Okay, next one they will deny crises. They will

  303. say it. I believe in Jesus. I believe him there know that you

  304. know that he did miracles. I believe that he healed. But I don't

  305. think he's God. Did you know that other religions believe in Jesus as well?

  306. Do you know that the devil believes in Jesus as well? So how

  307. many people believe in Jesus? But what kind of authority does he have over

  308. your life? Is he God? Did he die? Did he rise from

  309. the dead? If he writes from the dead, what does that mean to

  310. you? Is he your hope? Is he your hope and your future?

  311. Is he your anchor? But in the last days, people will say,

  312. like, hey, I'm a Christian as well, you're a Christian as so,

  313. hey, let's do this thing. Christians come with Christians are sure win

  314. one. Sure what cannot be wrong? Why let's do something that I tell

  315. you sometimes I tell you you're doing the Christians one. Now, there's the

  316. most troublesome one. Okay. I won't say anything. Okay, but not

  317. because the faith is wrong. You know, it's just that people are deceptive

  318. to themselves and to others. Be very careful. Yeah, I'm not trying

  319. to assult this court here. I'm teaching you guys to be very wise because

  320. this is the scripture. You know, this is scripture. Or no,

  321. I'm not teaching anything. This is scripture. So that everyone you will be

  322. on guard. Whether you're at homes, you gotta protect your homes. You

  323. know, where you have a family, you gotta protect your family. Now,

  324. you don't simply let anything happen or you take it for granted. Whatever

  325. that's happening, extract you gotta protect it as well. That's why where something

  326. is wrong, the pastor who will call it out. Hey, hey,

  327. guys and girls, you cannot hang minger like that one. You know,

  328. do things things like that one or not take it from granted because we're having

  329. a good time. No, no, no, never take things for grunted.

  330. You see, I've seen cell group members because of jealousy. Okay,

  331. either you spoke to my girlfriend or my wife or my husband a bit more

  332. ready than they broke up ready, over one event, over one event,

  333. he know, broke up Ready. You'll never take things for granted ever,

  334. if you want to protect what you have and saying now, the devil works

  335. in all these small cracks and crevices. One day, next one there will

  336. be popular What did the Bible say? Many will follow the instructions? What

  337. does that mean for you and I? You will feel like you're the one

  338. missing out. You'll feel like, hey, they had believe something Wronger?

  339. Did I hear something Wronger? Am I slower too to grab it? You

  340. know, it will cause a lot of doubt and confusion within you as well.

  341. Hey why yah? It will seem like if they follow this, they

  342. will be more successful, and people will all them seem to be more successful,

  343. and you'll feel like I'm still the same three, four or five years

  344. ago. Starts to shake your confidence, you know, Like I said,

  345. feelings start to have a lot of confusion. You know, but what grounds

  346. you the word of God? And the date is the word of God?

  347. Why does the Bible say? And there's where you'll be really tested, really

  348. really tested in knowing the world of God and how you interpret it. You

  349. interpreted by comparing their successes or interpreting the Bible with the word of God.

  350. No compromises. You get me in right. It's very very important. Next

  351. one, they were covered. No, these people were. They say that

  352. They told you they will look like Christians, sound like Christians. But yeah,

  353. they say they are free. We are free in Christ. No christis

  354. freed as all. But you look at them, you will realize that,

  355. hey, they say they are free, but they are not free. They

  356. are like slaves, slaves to one to last and greet they are free,

  357. they are used. They are freedom to indulge on these things. You get

  358. me in right. They cannot help it, cannot help it. But you

  359. won't be so obvious in now. It's like sugar. You know, you

  360. say that, hey, you're addicted to sugar. I'm not added to sugar,

  361. just a sweet But then you realize when you counter, how many times

  362. are you you know you eat sugar and think all the things you just wo

  363. wow. If I ask you, guys are to know for the next whole

  364. week, take a diary of every thought that you have. What would you

  365. think about? Do I have enough money for this week? You know why

  366. this person have a car and in a better car than me. You know?

  367. If I give ties and offering how much money do I have left?

  368. Or if I take a diary of your you know of all your thoughts are

  369. what will you be thinking mostly about? See about God and be honest,

  370. I see about how much I have, how much I have, sometimes more

  371. about how white people have more than me? Sure not, but it's whether

  372. all these things are kept in control and in what is surrender to the Lord?

  373. You know, it's like God, I think these things bad. It

  374. cannot dominate me. See, God has a supreme power over us if we

  375. submit, you know. But when we don't do that, we become what

  376. slaves to it. You will be what you think? What do you imagine?

  377. You watch Facebook so many times? Wow, this person had a renovation

  378. so nice, This person bought this watch so nice. This person went to

  379. this place so nice. And you're suddenly like, hey, I call no

  380. money, but I still want to travel. Then you're like how did I

  381. ended up thinking about traveling out of Norway? And you realize from the obegobegob

  382. to this week, to this month to this quarter. Oh, at that

  383. time I actually spoke to someone who went traveling and it started a chain effect

  384. that got me spending money that I didn't have. You realize that how many

  385. I don't know? I think people are looking everywhere right now, it's that

  386. it's not me. It's not me, it's not me. You can realize,

  387. you know, you're spending the things you never had because you got intercepted,

  388. you know, in your thought and a one simple conversation can get you

  389. into trouble, drown. There is why Facebook is so powerful, not because

  390. they're forcing you, but because they keep intercepting your mind, you know,

  391. with these thoughts that grow and into something that you don't want to be.

  392. Okay, they are molding you without you being aware of that. Okay,

  393. next one there will be presumptuous, stubborn and bold to speak evil. Oh

  394. okay, now what do I mean by that? They because you see,

  395. why is this world becoming? Like when you see like you know, social

  396. media, it's like you see the same thing, same fitness person, same

  397. higher, same money making ski, same popularity. I see, I've seen

  398. this before two years ago. But just a different person, isn't it?

  399. Different person? Maybe you know, maybe covers a bit differently. You know,

  400. skin is a bit different. Okay, but yet to differentiate themselves,

  401. they will up the stick. Okay. They will say I did this some

  402. person I said I did this for thirty days. I did this for sixty

  403. days. Someone that I did it for one year. Yeah right. It's

  404. always upping the stick, you know, or I you know, I drove

  405. a sixteen miles, I drove one hundred and twenty miles. Oh I did

  406. this? Or so people humans have this tendency here, this this, this,

  407. this temptation to always want to be higher in authority. You know what

  408. I'm saying here. So if I gain the argument with you or conversation with

  409. you, I would say, oh I heard before, I heard from someone,

  410. but people said who is someone said oh? Then it will say,

  411. oh, I experienced this before somewhere somewhere, Oh I know this person who

  412. is like that? What what? What do you see? What's happened here?

  413. To make your argument more compelling, more persuasive, you will try to

  414. attach authority to it. So in the olden times, people will start swearing.

  415. When I say swearing doesn't mean that they say bad words. They will

  416. say they are I promise I will make money by my family's name. Family's

  417. name. Not good enough, they will say, by the names of all

  418. the animals, family animals. Not gonna buy this God and that God and

  419. that god, Egyptian God and God. Then not enough. But they will

  420. swear by heavenly Father's name. That is why I one of the commandments as

  421. well. Oh, what's the one of the commanders, Do not take the

  422. Lord Lord's name in vain, isn't it? People were what there was a

  423. temptation for people wanting to attach authority to wait, isn't it. So they're

  424. bringing everybody to wait, you know, everything to wait as well, and

  425. so so that whatever they say on stage or with the people becomes like whoa

  426. dispeller co credibility, you know, very powerful, and they will do all

  427. these style of things. Okay, I'm not naming people here, but sometimes

  428. you see and they are according to this name and them my cast and then

  429. say this thing about that, Oh can do this tout thing, can say

  430. this tout thing, and they're not only saying it to to to to people,

  431. They're saying it to enemies, you know, to demons and devils.

  432. You know. Now, what does the Bible say about that? What the

  433. Bible say about that? Being very presumptuous here, now, let me go

  434. through scripture. Okay, second Peter, Chapter two, Verse four, Okay,

  435. let me let's no chapter four. Let's go to verse because not enough

  436. time here. Uh. Verse nine okay, Let's do a verse nine.

  437. Okay. Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly of temptation and to

  438. reserve the unjust underpunishment for the day of judgment. Okay, they settled,

  439. and especially verse ten, and especially those who are according to the flesh in

  440. the last of uncleanness and despise authority. This is the next one. There

  441. they are presumptuous self will they are not afraid underlying, not afraid to speak

  442. evil of dignitaries underlying the part dignitaries. Okay. And what does he say

  443. in the next verse, whereas angels who are greater in power and might do

  444. not bring reviling accusations against them before the Lord. Now, so Peter is

  445. saying that there are this group of people who are presumptive self will and not

  446. afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. Means they are on the speaking outloucked publicly

  447. evil. Okay, okay, against of dignitaries. But I say, these

  448. people there to say things are the angels. They're not saying you gotta say,

  449. yeah, okay, he's saying, man, these men are daring to

  450. say things that angels they're not even there to say. And these angels have

  451. even greater mind empower and they're not even saying that things to them before the

  452. Lord. And no, so men who are more bold, bolder than the

  453. angels. But now let's clarify that they say that they are not afraid to

  454. speak evil of dignitaries. Who are these dignitaries? Grena, what is it

  455. the apostles? Is it the angels? Let's turn to scripture. Okay,

  456. turn to me, to the book of Jude. Okay, turned to Jude

  457. chapter one. There's only one chapter anyway, and then we will go to

  458. verse eight, Chapter one, Verse eight. When you don't know how to

  459. understand when you read a certain scripture and you don't understand it, Ryan,

  460. do not simply presume Bible is faithful things that God has revealed. He will

  461. reveal. There are things God have mentioned and he will review later, like

  462. the Book of Relevation. Who's the Antichrist? We don't know, but we'll

  463. only go so far. We don't have to presume. But there are things

  464. that we know. And normally when we say that, how do you interpret

  465. scriptures, that you use scripture to interpret? Scripture means if you read Second

  466. Peter, you can read the Old Testament if there are references to be to

  467. interpret what it actually means, because they are consistent. Yemen, right,

  468. You're depending on what God is reviewed to review something. Okay, So while

  469. we are we using we are reading Jude chapter one, and see where there

  470. are similarities to interpret second chapter two, in verse eight, it says likewise,

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

  472. dignitaries. See the word again, The word dignitaries come out again. But

  473. yet, okay, Jude, here he mentions, and what you call it?

  474. Er example? He says, yeah, yet Michael the arch angel,

  475. while now we know which angel is theory, Michael the Archangel in contending with

  476. the devil. Devil is Satana the big Boss. Okay, the big Boss.

  477. When he did disputed about the body of Moses. When they're talking about

  478. the body of Moses, mean about where the Moses should be resurrected. Hey,

  479. they're saying, hey, Moses are there's so many evil things. Now,

  480. I know he worked before the Lord. He doesn't deserve resurrection. You

  481. know he doesn't deserve him. And that's why it's contending there. So tell

  482. the devil is always what trying to keep you down, always accusing one.

  483. Now Moses, So he accused one, and no, do you think he

  484. won't accuse you? He will accuse you one. Okay, okay, when

  485. he disputed about the body of Moses, they're not bring against him a reviling

  486. accusation, but said the Lord rebuke you. What does it mean say?

  487. He said, even when they are angel Michael was disputing, okay, contending

  488. with the devil? What the what? What the Michael too? He dare

  489. not bring about a reviling accusation, but the maximum that the are injured,

  490. he will say, it's what the Lord rebuke you, The Lord rebucule But

  491. then in verse ten, what does Jews say about these men who were lowered

  492. in authority? What do they do? But these speak evil or whatever they

  493. do not No this this false teachers speak or things they do no not and

  494. whatever they know naturally like brute beasts like in these things they called rupt themselves.

  495. Whoe to them, for they have gone the way of king, have

  496. run greedily in the era of baylm and for profit, and cherish in the

  497. rebellion of Chora. So that they make a lot more sense right now.

  498. So what do people want to do when they contend, when they try to

  499. speak, when they try to land a green authority and lend authority to their

  500. argument, they will start saying very silly things. You know, ye me

  501. right, they're starting, Oh, this fellow speaks so baldly about it.

  502. Even the devil, you know what, the devil, what do I do?

  503. But he's not this this this man or women they are not forgot,

  504. They are not for the devil. They are for themselves. They become a

  505. beast. Beast ready, beast me Now what you don't you don't know?

  506. And wrong? Human or not human? You eat you prow uncontrolled one and

  507. all. So, So that's what I'm saying. When you go out in

  508. life and go in this world, you must be very careful. That's why

  509. when I say, okay, don't see you know on the stage. Are

  510. you preach? You preach, but be very careful of how you use the

  511. word of the Lord. God holds every teacher and every leader counter ball.

  512. If I say something I'm not sure, I would always say my opinion.

  513. That's why when I talk about the AI and never say anything or that's what

  514. the scripture is, I always say what is in my humble opinion, what

  515. tomorrow you want to start a business or God will confirm bless me. Be

  516. careful about saying that. Won't be careful to say, oh, this is

  517. the will of God my life. Be very careful about saying these things in

  518. your life. You came in right, just say if the Lord permits,

  519. I really feel you know, you know, a nice scripture, I really

  520. feel enough convinced to do this. That's all. You stop there. And

  521. I know that sometimes it's not enough, because sometimes you need to justify before

  522. people. But it's okay. That's where you test yourself, you know,

  523. whether are you convinced or not, whether are you you are trying to use

  524. a lot because you're trying to convince the person or convince yourself true or not?

  525. He Pastor Gloria. I really feel like I'm glad in order to do

  526. this, but so that I can, you know, maybe you know,

  527. get Pasta Gloria to be silent. True, isn't it you think you're the

  528. only one who thinks like that? We think there as well. It's a

  529. temptation of the flesh, isn't it? So that you will stop trying to

  530. minister to me and hold me accountable, Just say whatever you say. If

  531. the pastor does not agree with you, you gotta be able to accept that

  532. you gave me in right. You gotta be able to accept it and hold

  533. accountably to it. You gave me in right. There are mature pastors.

  534. They are immature pastors. There's a truth. But you gotta forgive everybody.

  535. Have I been immature before? Of course I have. Have I said wrong

  536. things before? Of course I have. I've set things people sometimes want.

  537. I have left churched before. Pastor how gay? You said, I've learned,

  538. and Pastor to rebuild me and to learn and teach me. And I

  539. was like, oh you mad? You know, I think your heart is

  540. right, but your deliverer, what's wrong? And when I look back like,

  541. yeah, I think I did it out my own strength more than just

  542. trusting the Lord. And I have to learn as well. You can mean

  543. right, that's the truth. But the grace and the forgiveness that that is

  544. given by the leadership helps us to become better. We all learned. It

  545. gave me a right. We don't fall back. We have to pick ourselves

  546. up from thereth from thereth from there, and the same for all of us

  547. as well, for you guys. You know, I said, oh,

  548. I really believe this is the world of God for my life, and you

  549. win and do it with a configation and you were, let's say, hey,

  550. a that moment I said this is the world of car But maybe it's

  551. not. It was just me so convinced of myself. And why did you

  552. learn? You learn the next time when you hear something in your mind and

  553. your heart. Now you start to wut fear God, God, is it

  554. really you? Because God, I don't want to move, I don't want

  555. to sail away until you say so. And God will use these things to

  556. teach you things that you will never forget, isn't it. God is still

  557. good enough even when you make a mistake, even when you make a wrong

  558. chess move, God can still use that wrong chess move. That's the that's

  559. the glory of God's name. That's the sovereignty of God. I see people

  560. are h you know you see the will of God can bend too waste wanna.

  561. Either you become paralyzer or you become wild enough true or not, we

  562. always see the way of God. People can either be paralyzed or they become

  563. wild like a beast. Paralyze means that you dare not make any decision in

  564. your life. You there not take any responsibility, you dare not fail.

  565. But yet at the same time, some people take the freedom of God.

  566. Hey, everything is the will of God. Just do whatever you want to

  567. and your hold yourself not accomfortable the rest of your Let you think you will

  568. be like I do that. No, God say that you will learn to

  569. walk before me in fear and reverence. You tore the line. It's a

  570. it's a it's a narrow road. It's not a white road. It's a

  571. narrow Sometimes you bend a bit, yes, but you keep back again.

  572. Come right, you come back again. You give me right. You have

  573. to walk tell So that is why you don't clearly past us tell you what

  574. I said, that this is strictly the way one because they know that God

  575. is the one who is ultimately in control. Now you got me in right,

  576. So we will Most of the time we just listen. We listen,

  577. listen because what does God? God sometimes don't tell me. I can't tell

  578. you what's your future? And now who to marry? You know, I

  579. can't. We will just listen and listen. But we pray that you will

  580. really seek the Lord. You pray that you will really desire God's will for

  581. your life, and by that you will discern and learn from your own life

  582. as well. Sometimes when you make a mistake, ready all idea, a

  583. very bad mistake, do we condemn you? It's ah, you see,

  584. you never listen to me. Of course, we don't do these out of

  585. things. You know why we don't this out thing because we have experienced in

  586. our own lives. You can, I mean right, I've experienced it,

  587. my honor. I've seen it so many times in my own life. That's

  588. what they know. I said. Even if you don't mistake my our feeling,

  589. our thoughts, that God can still use you. Pick yourself up,

  590. come back to the Lord. You can be right. God can use that.

  591. No, don't run away, don't hide? Amen? Are you getting

  592. learning here? So far? So it turns of the god. Don't be

  593. paralyzed or don't be wild? Okay, don't be paralyzed. But I don't

  594. want to do God tell me? Should I drink lata or chai tea?

  595. Okay? Chai is tea? Don't t te Okay, okay, should I

  596. drink? You know? So it eats a fun or one time everything's paralyzed.

  597. You know, I'm gonna be like that. But yeah, listen,

  598. they can eat. I don't just you know, hey, mo bong,

  599. you know, let's eat e twenty four hours, eat whatever I want?

  600. Don't don't do this our things? Okay, everything in moderation. Okay,

  601. let me draw to a close ready, Okay, actually only one third the

  602. way, but it's okay. Do you have any more slides on their one?

  603. Ah? Okay? So this yeah, the fate of the false teachers

  604. judgment is coming. Okay. So Peter mentions that, hey, you know,

  605. you see these people speaking loudly, boldly, you know, teaching things.

  606. They are also right, but yet they prosper. They've become unhinged.

  607. You know, but Peter says that do not envy them, do not envy

  608. them, do not question God, do not wonder why God is not there

  609. to really put things in control and delivering. Is your God even real?

  610. You know? But God, Peter reminded them. You know, see talk

  611. about the angels who sin in Genesis chapter Sis. I'm not going to go

  612. into that, but you can go into that. It talks about the early

  613. children, and there's a few what they call it a theory. You know,

  614. the angels came and you know they you know, are married, and

  615. and then they didn't marry lot, but they have children with earthly women.

  616. And you know, the course the children's okay, and these angels were judged,

  617. and Noah, you know, the whole face of the earth, the

  618. man, humanity was evil. But yet you know, at that time the

  619. earth has never seen raining, has never seen rain, you know. But

  620. yet the clouds, okay, were reserve and the water, the water of

  621. the earth was reserved for judgment. Judgement was always there. It's just that

  622. whether it was activated. You know, you know this. When I was

  623. younger, how many of you, I don't know how many of you remember

  624. this. I used to watch this old Chinese series. Okay, it's called

  625. Pouching Tian. Some of you are like, okay, some of you,

  626. and let me explain to you what it is. The name is the name

  627. of a famous judge okay with like long beer. Okay, okay, something

  628. in old school. That war. It's quite funny. I used to watch

  629. it so much. Okay, So what happened with this judges that? You

  630. know he will hear the civil cases. But the famous thing about this judge,

  631. the spoutching thing. You know, what was the famous thing about him?

  632. No, he's not. He's beard enough is that beside his court?

  633. There? What was it? You see the instrument of execution? There was

  634. a tiger sword there down and they will execute publicly. You want to know,

  635. I was like, whoa? So for the common people the shape of

  636. the of the whole entire, I don't know why you call it instrument.

  637. It's a tiger. But if they have to execute someone royal, he'll be

  638. shaped in the shape of a dragon. Ah. That's how you know.

  639. He only used the dragon once before. So he will execute an So when

  640. people come before his car, the first thing that he would see him and

  641. they will see that that big sword as well, and so people will be

  642. scared scared. So the instrument of judgment was there, just that it's not

  643. being used. You get me in right. So what Peter is trying to

  644. let me tell you, get to show you with that. He said that

  645. you may not see God ex secuting it yet, but the instrument of judgment

  646. is there already. Just in the days of Noah, the waters were that

  647. you don't know it. It's just like that boom. You will happen ready,

  648. Hey, tsunami can happen anytime, one and all. It was swift,

  649. hardly a warning can come just like that. And I won't go treat

  650. But if you're read in second Pitter, it talks about the world you know

  651. now, the lakes, the seas, in the end of times, he

  652. will become it became instruments of judgment for these people, or you will become

  653. in the lakes of fire for the soul. Don't envy them. God is,

  654. you know, holding back because he's full of grace and mercy, merciful

  655. God that's not want to wipe the people out one and all. Even in

  656. the days of no One, preaching was no One was continued preaching and preaching

  657. and preaching and preaching until men were even men were fully corrupt. Why so

  658. that they will know that no man is good Without God? The world will

  659. continue its going evil, isn't it? And it will continue to be even

  660. more? In my humble opinion, why why it's God allowing it to show

  661. that no matter what technology men can come up with, they cannot cure evil.

  662. No man, they cannot cure evil, and they cannot cure death.

  663. You can create ev cars, you can bring Tesla, you can go to

  664. the moon, can go to Mars. Men will still die, Men will

  665. still have evil in their hearts. Only Jesus says, okay, only Jesus

  666. says, God will sure you guys are utterly hopeless. You will let you

  667. go all the way. Do you know you are heartily hopeless? Will you

  668. still want me? And then men will say no, God will shure is

  669. glory. I will change your hearts with the Holy Spirit. Gem right,

  670. That's how That's why Israelites are like that, isn't it. It's a preview.

  671. You know, Israelites they have everything. They have Moses, they have

  672. Abraham, they have the prophets. If you like in Jesus even come to

  673. them, but yeah, they still deny. Isn't it just shows you how

  674. sinful sin is. Isn't it how evil sin is? At the other day,

  675. we need Jesus Amen, Hey man, let me stop here for now.

  676. Okay, let's take this time here to really heed the warning, to

  677. heed what we've learned to know that. Yes, the world is treacherous,

  678. the world is full of deception. But the Lord continually preserves his people,

  679. isn't it in the midst of all these chaos, God preserves. God brings

  680. a light. God puts salts here and there, you know, to preserve

  681. us no where there. Day we were talking about teaching about and our salt

  682. and light, isn't it I was asking the question, how many of you

  683. like to buy have freachers in your houses? That everybody say, yeah,

  684. we have freachers, Say how many of you are will still continue to have

  685. a fat the door that doesn't have a door? One? Do you have

  686. a freacher doesn't have a door. If I sell you a freacher there,

  687. it's like super a duport expensive ten thousand dollars one, but he has no

  688. door? Will you will buy it? Why? Why? It doesn't make

  689. sense? It isn't there the idea of a fridge is why is that it

  690. changes the environment so that it preserves what it's inside? Isn't it when the

  691. door is gone? Is there a difference in the environment. Hardly. It's

  692. like a bit of wind then gone ready, a bit of winkle, gone

  693. ready. Freezer so powerful or so can keep food a six months to a

  694. year just because the door is opener. Nothing works, you know, even

  695. the ice melts. You know. So as believers are we Christians? Are

  696. we like fridges? Are we doors open? There is no difference in temperature

  697. inside the fridge and outside, you know. And whatever God has put there

  698. is already melted as spoiling. So is it the problem of the fridge or

  699. the door? Sometimes I can have the best friature, But just because your

  700. children forget to close the door, that's it, really, And you're laughing

  701. at who are you to close the door? Wake up the whole media,

  702. spoil all the soup, other things I could all spoil or not true or

  703. not true or not. Is there anything wrong with the fridge? No?

  704. Is there anything wrong with what God has given to us? No? But

  705. we are responsible for closing the d We must remain salty in and then we

  706. must remain cool out here. Be cool, okay, you must remain so

  707. that what God has given us is preserved the same way as well. The

  708. whole world is going rotting, you know, it's rotting away, literally fading

  709. away. But God has given us these things so that we can preserve and

  710. make the difference. So you'll examine our lives. Are we having that temperature?

  711. Is that temperature there? But if not, why is stealing away?

  712. This? This? This? This, this, this this thing in our

  713. lives? Why is leaking away? Are we opening doors to things that we

  714. are not allowing that we're not supposed to? Your open doors here, your

  715. open doors here? Upon I thought we reallet's say there's no difference between me

  716. and outside the world. True or not? True or not be an effective

  717. freach. Okay. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
