Sermon
White Garments Are Righteous Acts
Publisher transcript
Transcript
-
I've streamed this morning. We're going to be talking about
-
the white garments, our righteous acts, that's what they are.
-
And this narrative in the book of Revelation really does
-
quite easily and quite readily play itself out. That this
-
is obviously a big part of the great apostasy which
-
occurs during the birth pangs. That comes straight from Jesus'
-
mouth in Matthew 24, verse 8. Both the New King
-
James Version and the King James Version are both mistranslated.
-
That is the Greek word odin in verse 8. It's
-
not beginning of sorrows. It's beginning of birth pangs. That
-
Greek word odin means contraction. So it's pretty important that
-
we realize this narrative and it literally plays itself out.
-
And it does so in a quite marvelous way. So
-
the first time this is mentioned is in Revelation 3,
-
verses 4 and 5. Now remember, those of us that's
-
been born again, you already know that the seven churches
-
are not dispensationalized church ages. This list off, clericus. This
-
is common knowledge. All academics know this. There are seven
-
branches to Christianity. I've did many videos on it. I
-
have a playlist on it. This is what it's talking about.
-
These are not church ages. They are the seven different
-
types of actual churches that exist. So remember that the
-
seven churches, they weren't in Asia Minor. They were in
-
seven different locations in the same area. So these are
-
the seven different types of churches, regardless of your country. Yes,
-
at the time, these were in Asia Minor. We have
-
those same churches here in America. We have these same
-
churches in Canada. We have these same churches in Australia.
-
We have these same churches in Great Britain. We have
-
these same churches. They still exist in New Zealand. This
-
is true. So, with that in mind, here in Revelation
-
chapter 3, verses 4 and 5, he's singling out the
-
members of a particular church. So, you can literally say
-
that he is speaking to one of the real denominations.
-
It's one of the real denominations. So, Revelation chapter 3,
-
verses 4 and 5. You have a few names, even
-
in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments. And they
-
shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
-
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments. And
-
I will not blot out his name from the book
-
of life, but I will confess his name before my
-
Father and before His angels. So take note. Here we
-
have the churchgoers who have not been born again, that
-
are practicing iniquity. They claim Christ, and as I've shared
-
in other videos, these people who sin willfully in Jesus'
-
name trample the Son of God and offend the spirit
-
of grace. So, because they claim Jesus Christ, they put
-
their garments on in a water baptism. But because they
-
continue to willfully sin, this is what happens to them.
-
They defile their garments. They defile their garments. So, Hebrews
Hebrews 10 chapter mention
-
chapter 10. We're going to go over here again. We're
-
going to read this again. Hebrews chapter 10, verses 26
-
through 29. Okay? This is what he's talking about. This
-
is why he's saying that there are people who claim
-
my name in this church. But once they got water baptized,
-
they continue sinning willfully. So they never got The final step.
-
They never got born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit.
-
Let's categorically sort this out. Hebrews chapter 10, 26 through 29.
Hebrews 10 chapter mention
-
For if we willfully sin after we have received the
-
knowledge of truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin.
-
but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fiery indignation,
-
which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who's rejected Moses' law
-
dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
-
How much worse punishment do you suppose will be thought
-
worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted
-
the blood of a covenant by which he was sanctified,
-
a common thing, and insulted the spirit of grace. So
-
because they have insulted the spirit of grace, they were
-
never born again. This is what he's talking about. So
-
this is how this verse plays out. Let's read it again.
-
This is talking about all the congregants at a church.
-
They've all been water baptized. There's some of them that
-
kept their garments pure, and they were baptized in the
-
Holy Spirit. The other ones did not. Listen, you have
-
many names, even in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments.
-
And they shall walk with me in white, for they
-
are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments.
-
And I will not blot his name from the book
-
of life, but I will confess his name before my
-
father and before his angels. So once you linger too
-
long in your sins and do not, do not correct
-
your actions, you don't do what the word says, this
-
is what happens. There comes a point when you've gone
-
on too long, the spirit of grace waits and waits
-
and waits for you to clean your act up and
-
you don't. I mean, how many millions of heroin addict
-
prostitutes have cleaned their act up? You get my point.
-
We have many, many, many, we have clouds of witnesses
-
that this is the case. If you insist on soiling
-
your own garments, there comes a threshold in which you
-
insult the spirit of grace. And there's no such thing
-
as penal substitution. There's no such thing as eternal security.
-
Jesus Christ just said he'll blot your name out of
-
his book. So, Dropping down in verse 18, he gives
-
further discourse about these white garments. I counsel you to
-
buy from me gold refined in fire that you may
-
be rich, and white garments that you may be clothed,
-
that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed.
-
And anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see.
-
Here we go again. Here we go again. You must
-
stop practicing iniquity. If you stop practicing iniquity, he will
-
give you the gold refined by fire. That's a clean conscience. Yes,
-
He will give you a clean conscience. And from that
-
point forward, your conscience will motivate you to do righteous acts. Now,
-
we get to Revelation chapter 6, the fifth seal event,
Revelation 6 chapter mention
-
verses 9 through 11. Please take note. Revelation chapter 17.
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
plainly states it plainly states that she who has become
-
drunk on the blood of the saints and the martyrs
-
of Jesus is the apostatized church. It's church goers who
-
thought their water baptism would get their name in the
-
book of life. They continued sinning and insulted the spirit
-
of grace. Instead of being baptized by the spirit of grace. So,
-
take note. That's what this is talking about. When he
-
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altars those
-
who had been slain for the word of God and
-
for the testimony which they held. And they cried out
-
with a loud voice saying, How long, O Lord, holy
-
and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on
-
those who dwell on the earth? That a white robe
-
was given to each of them, and it was said
-
to them that they should rest a little while longer
-
until both the number of their fellow servants and their
-
brethren who would be killed as they were was completed. Yes.
-
Maranatha Ministries has ceased from proclaiming To these unbaptized in
-
the spirit church goers. A call to repentance. Those days
-
are over. The apostasy is upon us. It just lingers.
-
In the fog. Right ahead. We're right on top of it.
-
So I have switched over. My message. Via the spirit
-
of grace. To warn those who have been. Reborn. That.
-
You're in great danger if you stay in these church buildings.
-
Moving on here, Revelation chapter 7, verses 9 through 17.
-
Make no mistakes about it. I just gave a trudge
-
report on this, the great multitude. I suggest you check
-
that out. I'm not going to take the time to
-
cover that here. We're going to go right to Revelation
-
chapter 19 verses 7 and 8. This is the cherry
-
on top. This is the period at the end of
-
this sentence. Let us be glad and rejoice and give
-
Him glory. For the marriage of the Lamb has come
-
and His wife has made herself. Herself. And to her
-
it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean
-
and bright. For the fine linen is the righteous acts
-
of the saints. You cannot, after a water baptism, continue
-
to practice iniquity after a certain duration of time. You
-
will insult the spirit of grace. Who is waiting patiently.
-
To baptize you. So these are. I know. These are very.
-
Terrible things to have to digest. I'm well aware of that.
-
But we need to. Well. Let's go to Revelation chapter
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
17 again and just reiterate this. And you have to
-
realize this is true. I know you want it to
-
be someone else, but I'm going to give further elaboration here.
-
Let me just go ahead and read these first six
-
verses of Revelation chapter 17 because you need to know
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
what's going on here, okay? Then one of the seven
-
angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me,
-
saying to me, Come, I will show you the judgment
-
of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with
-
whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and
-
the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the
-
wine of her fornication. There are only ten kings over
-
this planet. I know that great deceptions has come upon
-
the children of God. Everybody wants you to think there's
-
13 of them and they're called the Illuminati. These 10
-
kings are plainly repeated to be 10 in number in
-
the Bible. Repeatedly. Repeatedly God says they're 10. We, ladies
-
and gentlemen, the Americanized church is most certainly a great
-
harlot for this very reason. Take note. The American church,
-
all seven different denominations of them, whether it be the
-
denomination of Sardis or the other six, we have a
-
501c3 tax exempt status from our king. Let that sink in.
-
That is what this is talking about. The great harlot
-
does not receive her instruction from the Lord her God.
-
The great harlot receives her instruction from these ten kings.
-
That's a hard pill to swallow it. Verse 3. So
-
he carried me way in the spirit into the wilderness.
-
And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast
-
who was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads
-
and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet.
-
and adored with gold and precious stones and pearls, having
-
in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and
-
the filthiness of her fornications. Now take note. This is
-
not what Jesus Christ was talking about in Revelation chapter 3,
-
verse 18. No, no, no. God is not talking about
-
monetary means. No. No, that's not what He's talking about.
-
I'll read it for you again. White garments are the
-
righteous acts of the saints. Those righteous acts can be
-
adhered to via the Holy Spirit. You must be born again.
-
You cannot continue to sin willfully and after a period
-
of time insult the spirit of grace. He will never
-
baptize you once that happens. Write this down. Revelation chapter
-
3 verse 18. I counsel you to buy from me
-
gold refined in the fire of the Holy Spirit. Praise God.
-
I'm sorry I interrupted God's word. I counsel you to
-
buy from me gold refined in the fire that you
-
may be rich and white garments that you may be
-
clothed that the shame of your nakedness may not be
-
revealed and anoint your eyes with salve that you may see.
-
This is exactly the opposite of what this great harlot
-
has done. She is clothed and she has all her
-
gold and precious stones and pearls And this golden cup,
-
she received all those things from the ten kings of
-
her government. Don't you wish the separation of church and
-
state was real? It is grossly apparent that the Western
-
church is nothing more than a political tool. Take note.
-
It is common knowledge that the liberals, the Democrats are
-
ran by the liberal so-called church, and the Republicans are
-
ran by the so-called conservative church. There's only one church,
-
and it's the church of Jesus Christ. And she does
-
not play the harlot with the government and the wealth
-
that the government can provide. I'll prove this to you.
-
Jesus Christ said, give me a denarius tell me whose
-
likeness is on it and whose inscription these first four
-
verses We're the exact opposite of Revelation chapter 3 verse 18.
-
Those of us that's been baptized in the Spirit, we
-
naturally know these things. We naturally know them. You don't
-
have to make us memorize these verses or create an
-
entire curriculum around this idea. We who have been baptized
-
in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit moves us and we're
-
made aware of these things. But let us continue with
-
these final two verses. The great apostasy. It's right ahead.
-
It's right ahead. Verse 5, Revelation chapter 17. And on
Revelation 17 chapter mention
-
her forehead a name was written, Mystery, Babylon the Great,
-
the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.
-
I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the
-
saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
-
When I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. How
-
many harlots are there? I already told you. There's seven.
-
I've already told you. There's seven harlots. This is the
-
representation that during the great apostasy. You better hearken to
-
my voice. This is what constitutes the great apostasy. Because
-
all seven branches of Christianity. Behind the scenes. Begin to
-
take the same orders. From the same entity. Now look.
-
Let's go back to Revelation chapter 2 and figure out
Revelation 2 chapter mention
-
what are the seven different denominations of churches today. Because
-
it's not Baptist. No, it's not. It's not Wesleyan. It's
-
not Methodist. It's not Orthodox. It's not Catholic. It's not Presbyterian. No, no, no, no, no.
-
God's Word comes right out and informs you without coming
-
out and telling you. let me say that again God's
-
word comes out and informs you without coming out telling
-
you the seven different denominations of churches that have existed
-
since the Lord Jesus Christ is this these seven different
-
churches they exist on all the continents. All seven of them.
-
The first church is the loveless church. Number two is
-
the persecuted church. Number three is the compromising church. Number
-
four is the corrupt church. Number five is the dead church.
-
Number six is the faithful church. And number seven is
-
the lukewarm church. Those are the seven different mountains. They're
-
the seven different hills. They're the seven different women. Why
-
is the Spirit leading me to do that? I was
-
not intending to do that. This will give me a
-
minute This will take me a minute, so... Man, this
-
is making me sick in my stomach. I wasn't planning
-
on doing that. I don't need to know that. The
-
spirit must move. Okay. Everybody needs to understand that there
-
is a rebellion coming in the wilderness. And I don't
-
know why... Look, that's not up to me. I don't
-
run Maranatha Ministries. The Holy Spirit does. You need to
-
understand that the problem with the woman is only one
-
once we get to the wilderness. It's envy. Now this
-
is clearly, God uses plain English when you look at
-
Korah's rebellion. Because Korah's rebellion is what is mentioned in
-
In Revelation chapter 12 that occurs in the wilderness. Remember,
Revelation 12 chapter mention
-
what caused it? Envy. The only thing that caused it
-
was envy. It was envy. Korah was envious of Moses.
-
This is the last and final test is envy. When
-
we get to the wilderness, you cannot try to establish
-
a pecking order. And yet that's exactly what's going to happen.
-
So you need to understand that this word for envy,
-
this is why it is embedded in Psalm 68, verse 16.
-
I'm not going to give discourse on this chapter. Those
-
of you that have participated in water baptism only, It
-
will just confuse you. You won't understand what's going on.
-
But those of you who have been reborn, no one
-
understand this. That's talking about us in the wilderness. I'll
-
read it. Psalm chapter 68, verse 16. Why do you
-
fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? How many
-
peaks are there? Seven. I just gave you the list
-
of the seven different types of churches. I just did.
-
I just did. There's seven of those peaks. Look, I'm
-
sorry I interrupted it. I'll start it again. Why do
-
you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks? This
-
is the mountain which God desires to dwell in. Yes,
-
the Lord will dwell in it forever. At the return
-
of the Lord Jesus Christ, that's when the resurrection happens.
-
You need to understand, this is what happens at the
-
consummation of the marriage. What I'm telling you is the unadulterated,
-
beyond contestation, truth. These things are true. I don't care
-
what the dispensationalists and what the preterists say. What I've
-
revealed to you today is the gospel truth. Now, Those
-
of you who have been reborn. I have not given
-
a lengthy discourse to Maranatha Ministries about Psalm 68. Boy.
-
We really are close, aren't we? Jesus Christ was either
-
crucified in 30 A.D. or 33 A.D. And He said
-
in Hosea chapter 6 verse 2 that after 2,000 years
-
He would stand us up and fulfill. Revelation chapter 7
-
verses 9 through 17. No one understand this in your heart.
-
The great multitude are those that have been relocated. They're us.
-
And when we get there, the only thing that is
-
an endangerment to us, dwells within us. We have the
-
choice to become envious. Just like Leah become envious of Rachel,
-
Rachel became envious of Leah. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.
-
Those of you who've been reborn, I will give a discourse.
-
It'll probably take a series to do so. On Psalm 68.
-
But these things are not for church goers. They're not
-
for those. That's going to murder us. So. Why did
-
the Holy Spirit want me to do that? Anyway. I
-
can't concentrate on that. I just have to have. Hope.
-
That the Holy Spirit will lead me. To keep my garments. Clean. Because, boy,
-
those who practice iniquity inside the flesh. church, they will
-
do everything they can to tempt me to sin. Anyway,
-
say a prayer for Maranatha Ministries. Those of you that
-
have been reborn, please like and share the video. Please
-
subscribe to the channel. And if you've got Any encouraging
-
words or prayers, please put them in the comments. Until
-
next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless. Godspeed.
