[00:00:00] Well, I want to introduce you guys to Pastor Wally, and I'm going to try to say it right Olegide [00:00:07] Olegide okay. I got it takes me a minute sometimes. I got it takes me a while to remember [00:00:12] Names faces I get man. I get those [00:00:16] But we've known a pastor Wally here for a while they [00:00:21] They would bring it started bringing a whole crew from Arizona [00:00:25] to Sky Falls and into church sometime and [00:00:30] He went through our school of ministry and as soon as when he graduated [00:00:35] I knew that I was supposed to ordain him as a pastor and [00:00:39] We just went ahead and did that and I want to tell you something [00:00:43] I I know he's a little nervous about this tonight, and I know [00:00:50] But I know this about pastor Wally pastor Wally hears from God [00:00:56] Pastor Wally's a man and fasting and prayer [00:00:58] He is God speaks to him and gives him [00:01:03] visions and dreams and prophetic words and and he is [00:01:07] He's a very humble, and he's a very [00:01:10] Genuine [00:01:11] Christian so that's why I asked him to speak at Skyfall so brother. It's all yours [00:01:19] Give God the glory [00:01:35] This is [00:01:43] God's message not mine [00:01:47] Even the title came from him [00:01:51] I knew about what I'll be speaking [00:01:54] When pastor Dean first told me I should speak at Skyfall I [00:01:59] Knew I'll be speaking about the fear of the Lord [00:02:02] However, we're in past Nancy [00:02:05] Called me to ask me what a title of my message will be [00:02:09] the Lord confirmed and gave me this title and it's been [00:02:15] hectic trying to get everything together because [00:02:19] The Lord gave me so much I didn't know how to [00:02:24] Put it together. You know [00:02:27] But I'm gonna try my best and [00:02:31] Just lean on his strength [00:02:34] Amen [00:02:35] Yes, the title of this message is [00:02:40] dumbing down of the fear of the Lord [00:02:44] dumbing down [00:02:46] We talk about things being dumbed down all the time [00:02:49] but the actual definition is to lower the level of difficulty and [00:02:55] the intellectual content of something [00:02:59] Such as a textbook [00:03:01] And based on what we've been studying here and what my brothers have been presenting [00:03:07] we know that textbook of life is what the Bible and the devil is always trying to [00:03:15] Attack God's Word and dumb it down so that we do not have a solid foundation [00:03:22] Also to lower the general level of intelligence in something in this case [00:03:29] is to lower intelligence in the fear of the Lord and to lower the level of difficulty and [00:03:36] intellectual content of the fear of the Lord [00:03:39] I'll start off by sharing a dream [00:03:45] That the Lord used to get my attention to snap me back from Luke warmness [00:03:52] This is a painting from a co-worker [00:03:56] when I saw this painting she made it just [00:04:01] Reminded me of the dream that the Lord gave me to snap me back [00:04:06] from my Luke warmness from [00:04:09] One save always saved doctrine and I'll just go ahead and share the dream real quick [00:04:18] So it was in [00:04:21] around [00:04:23] 2007 my first daughter or really I was just born and [00:04:28] I woke up on a train and not train [00:04:35] I realized I was going to hell and I was wondering how did I get on this train? [00:04:43] because I was [00:04:45] I've been a Christian all my life since I was a child, but [00:04:52] Raised Catholic my dad was Anglican my mom Catholic [00:04:58] But I believed in the Lord I had a relationship with him originally [00:05:07] until the the enemy [00:05:10] started [00:05:12] Dumbing down what the Lord was doing in my life started [00:05:16] Changing it and so I was surprised that I'm on this train going to hell [00:05:23] So I got out of my seat on this train. I found myself on this train [00:05:33] Like why was I on this train? [00:05:35] I thought to myself then I turned my attention to the other people around me as I got up [00:05:42] They all look they all look dazed [00:05:47] while on this train just [00:05:49] moving [00:05:52] to the motion rocking the motion of the train and I realized [00:05:57] These people don't know that this train is going to hell. So I start [00:06:02] Shaking them, you know [00:06:05] Wake up [00:06:06] This train is going to hell. Don't you know this train is going to hell. I kept at it for a while and [00:06:15] nobody budged [00:06:17] So I'm thinking to myself, you know, if they don't want to get off the train, I'm gonna get off the train [00:06:22] I don't want to go to hell. So I walked out of my seat walked into the aisle and [00:06:32] I started yelling stop the train stop the train and this guy [00:06:39] Conductor the train conductor shows up comes in through [00:06:44] the next car and [00:06:47] Asked me where my ticket was [00:06:50] He looked like [00:06:52] the guy in the movie 300 [00:06:55] hunchback guy [00:06:58] demonic looking asked me for my for my ticket and [00:07:05] so I I pulled out my ticket from my breast [00:07:09] pocket and handed it to him with my left hand and [00:07:13] Then he grabbed my hand. He had a machine in his hand and tried to inject something into my hand his machine malfunctioned [00:07:21] When I realized what he was trying to do [00:07:24] I pulled my hand back and I just screamed as loud as I could in his face stop the train [00:07:30] And look me straight in the eye and [00:07:34] He stopped the train and then he mumbled something on that is his breath. I'm gonna get you later [00:07:40] And I'm like, oh no, I am NOT getting back on this train [00:07:45] so I got off the train and [00:07:48] My daughter appeared in my arms. She was still an infant at the time [00:07:52] And so when I woke up from this dream, I began to realize something is really wrong because I thought I was a Christian [00:08:02] And yet I'm going to hell [00:08:06] So that began my journey in 2007 [00:08:09] to find out [00:08:11] what happened and [00:08:13] How I got off [00:08:15] the path that the Lord has set me on since I was a child I want us to [00:08:23] Quickly look at the definition of the fear of the Lord and we're going to go into the scriptures for that [00:08:31] The fear of the Lord is clean and during forever [00:08:35] The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether Psalm 19 verse 9 [00:08:42] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have all day that do his commandments [00:08:50] He sprays endure forever the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise [00:08:57] wisdom and [00:08:59] instruction the fear of the Lord is to hate evil pride and arrogance II [00:09:06] the evil way and the forward mouth do I hate the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and [00:09:14] The knowledge of the holy is understanding in the fear of the Lord is strong confidence and his children [00:09:24] Shall have a place of [00:09:27] refuge these are all [00:09:30] Scriptures that specifically tells you what the fear of the Lord is [00:09:36] Proverbs 8 13 the fear of the Lord is to hate evil pride and arrogance II and the evil way and the forward mouth do I hate [00:09:46] Proverbs 9 10 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding [00:09:53] Proverbs 14 26 in in the fear of the Lord is [00:09:58] strong confidence and [00:10:01] His children shall have a place of refuge [00:10:05] The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life [00:10:09] to depart from the snares of death [00:10:13] the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom and before honor is humility and [00:10:23] wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times and [00:10:29] strength of salvation [00:10:31] The fear of the Lord is his treasure [00:10:35] now the enemy [00:10:40] Wants to deceive us [00:10:43] He wants to dumb down [00:10:45] The foundation of our faith which I believe [00:10:50] Strongly now is the fear of the Lord [00:10:54] the fear of the Lord is [00:10:57] Spirit in [00:11:01] Isaiah chapter 11 verses 2 and 3 [00:11:05] Tells us that and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him [00:11:10] This is the prophecy about the Messiah about Jesus [00:11:15] says and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the spirit of wisdom and [00:11:21] understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord in [00:11:29] Revelations 4 5 it talks about the seven spirits of God [00:11:33] It's listed here again the spirit of the Lord 1 [00:11:38] the spirit of wisdom [00:11:40] 2 spirit of understanding 3 spirit of counsel for my 5 [00:11:47] Spirit of knowledge 6 and the spirit and of the fear of the Lord, right? [00:11:52] and then Isaiah does something he emphasizes [00:11:58] one of them and [00:12:01] Shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord [00:12:07] Quick understanding there if we look it up now blue letter Bible on the outline of biblical usage [00:12:17] it tells us the delight and [00:12:19] Shall make him of [00:12:21] delight in the fear of the Lord Jesus will delight in the fear of the Lord of all those attributes of the Holy Spirit [00:12:29] One of them becomes his delight [00:12:31] When we delight something we pursue it [00:12:35] The enemy has been at this for a long time [00:12:39] Just attacking the fear of the Lord the foundation in the garden [00:12:46] We see here that God gives a command he provides Adam and Eve their needs [00:12:52] One and he also provides them shelter [00:12:55] he gave them all the trees give them food and he gave them a command and [00:13:03] The Lord God commanded man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat [00:13:09] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shall not eat of it for in the day that thou it is [00:13:15] There thou shall surely die [00:13:17] So he provided for them and then he gave them shelter that shelter [00:13:22] Was to put the fear of Lord in them was to give them a consequence [00:13:29] To protect them. That's what shelters do right is to protect you [00:13:36] Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said unto the woman [00:13:42] Yea had God said [00:13:45] first he cast doubt [00:13:48] Yea had God said yea shall not eat of every tree of the garden and then he criticizes the character of God [00:13:56] That God has not provided for you. Are you guys starving out here? But we know that's a lie. He is [00:14:07] baiting Eve at this point and [00:14:10] Woman said unto the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden [00:14:14] But of the fruit of the trees which is in the midst of the garden [00:14:18] God had said ye shall not eat of it neither shall ye touch it lest ye die [00:14:23] So she goes into defensive mode now. She's trying to defend her God [00:14:30] because her confidence is now broken because he [00:14:36] Positives something to her that was false and we all know when we are trying to defend ourselves [00:14:42] Desperately sometimes we tend to lie and this is what she does and now Eve is no longer standing on [00:14:51] the fear of the Lord [00:14:54] She's no longer standing on truth [00:14:56] Because she has lied [00:14:59] now there's the open door and the enemy takes advantage of this and [00:15:03] The serpent said unto the woman ye shall not surely die for God don't know that in a day ye eat therefore [00:15:11] Then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as God's knowing good and evil [00:15:17] So he lies to her [00:15:20] After he misrepresents God [00:15:23] Gets Eve to leave the shelter of the fear of the Lord [00:15:28] This is how we fall into sin [00:15:31] the lust for the world and [00:15:36] when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes and [00:15:42] The tree to be desired to make one wise [00:15:45] She took of the fruit thereof and did it and gave also unto her husband with her and he did it [00:15:52] That's Genesis 3 verse 6 [00:15:57] Look at 1st John 2 16 says for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes [00:16:04] And the pride of life is not of the father [00:16:08] But is of the world [00:16:11] Once we step outside of the shelter of the fear of the Lord [00:16:16] The enemy has access to us and that's exactly what he's trying to get us to do [00:16:23] He wants to dumb down our knowledge [00:16:26] God doesn't really mean what he's saying, you know [00:16:29] He will not hurt you. He loves you [00:16:33] He's not really serious about that command. You don't have to take him seriously [00:16:39] Genesis 3 [00:16:40] 7 and the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sued fig leaves together and made themselves a bird [00:16:51] Now they are shamed and they've lost their confidence [00:16:57] so death comes in [00:17:02] Ecclesiastes 10 8 he that dig at a peak shall fall into it and we saw break it a hedge a [00:17:09] Serpent shall bite him [00:17:13] Adam and Eve [00:17:15] Broke that hedge that shelter that God gave them [00:17:20] Which was his command his law to protect them and they broke it. So the serpent had access to them [00:17:28] To bite them to destroy them to introduce death [00:17:33] Bible tells us that he has come to steal kill and destroy [00:17:37] is a [00:17:39] Liar and the father of it [00:17:42] Ezekiel 18 28 the soul that seen it it shall die [00:17:46] So once the fear of the Lord has been broken [00:17:50] then sin comes in and [00:17:53] death follows after that [00:17:56] Everybody say but God [00:17:59] God had a plan [00:18:02] Says but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without [00:18:10] spot [00:18:11] will very [00:18:13] Was for ordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last [00:18:19] times for you and me [00:18:23] First Peter 1 19 20 [00:18:26] You see God already knew what was going to happen [00:18:30] When he created before he created them and not already designed a way for salvation [00:18:37] For restoration to bring us back to him the fear of the Lord is safety [00:18:45] When we see it in these two verses [00:18:47] Proverbs 14 26 and 27 in the fear of the Lord is strong confidence and [00:18:56] His children shall have a place of refuge [00:19:00] The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death [00:19:05] As long as Adam and Eve could stay in the fear of the Lord [00:19:10] They would have retained their confidence [00:19:14] She would have been able to [00:19:17] Dispel the devil they won't have been hiding naked in a bush somewhere [00:19:25] Their children won't have had to grow out grow up outside the garden [00:19:32] See God created all these things for them and they lost it because they stepped outside [00:19:37] the fear of the Lord [00:19:39] The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death [00:19:43] No matter what kind of traps the enemy can set for you if you stay within the confines of the shelter of the fear [00:19:50] of the Lord [00:19:52] He can do nothing [00:19:55] What is the enemy doing today? [00:19:58] to get us to [00:20:01] Step outside the fear of the Lord to dumb down the knowledge of the fear of the Lord in our lives and these are specific attacks [00:20:10] He attacks the deity of Christ [00:20:14] We look at first John [00:20:17] chapter 4 verse 3 [00:20:19] This is the test right [00:20:23] Says and every spirit that confess it not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and [00:20:31] This is the spirit of Antichrist [00:20:34] Whereof he had heard that it should come and even now already [00:20:41] Is it in the world? [00:20:44] so the name of Jesus [00:20:46] means Jehovah is salvation and so that test really is [00:20:51] Has Jehovah the Messiah who is salvation come in the flesh? [00:20:57] Basically is Jesus God [00:20:59] the foundation of all false doctrines [00:21:02] Tries to tear this down that Jesus is not God and the reason for that [00:21:08] Is so that you take this scripture for granted [00:21:12] John 3 16 the most popular [00:21:16] scripture most coded scripture in the world because when you [00:21:22] Read this scripture most people think wow God loves me so much [00:21:27] But there's another aspect of this scripture that should scare you that should terrify you [00:21:34] That should give you pause [00:21:37] For God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten son [00:21:41] They attacked that right the doctrine of the only begotten. I think Sal. I don't know what I saw [00:21:48] You talked about it [00:21:50] First they want to take that out. They don't want you to believe that [00:21:55] Jesus is God. This is the tactic of the enemy that will so ever believe it in him should not perish [00:22:02] But have everlasting life [00:22:05] When I came to understand because growing up, I remember saying to people [00:22:10] because I grew up as a Catholic and [00:22:14] I [00:22:16] learned how to read by reading [00:22:18] author s Maxwell's illustrated ten volume Bible story [00:22:26] beautiful books [00:22:27] true to the scriptures [00:22:30] But after that someone handed me in niv Bible and so things they going south from there. There is no escape [00:22:44] once you stepped out of the fear of the Lord and [00:22:48] You continued out down that path and not turn back. There is no escape [00:22:56] Hebrews 2 [00:22:57] 1 to 3 says therefore we ought to give [00:23:00] The more earnest heed to the things which we have heard [00:23:06] Lest at any time. We should let them sleep [00:23:10] for if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just [00:23:18] recompense of reward [00:23:20] How shall we escape if we neglect such so great salvation? [00:23:25] Which at the first began to be spoken of by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him [00:23:34] Hebrews 10 26 and 27 for if we seen willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth [00:23:41] There remain it no more sacrifice for sins [00:23:44] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fire indignation which shall devour the adversaries [00:23:52] the first scripture right there is [00:23:57] Basically comparing the Old Testament and the New Testament. There's this deception that the enemy has [00:24:03] managed to [00:24:05] Perpetrate which is the Old Testament [00:24:09] the God of the Old Testament is not the God of the new right he's [00:24:15] fearful in the Old Testament and [00:24:18] temperamental and mean [00:24:20] When New Testament is all love [00:24:24] But that's not what this scripture is telling us. In fact, it's telling us the contrary [00:24:33] If the punishment was harsh in the Old Testament [00:24:37] How much more do you think the punishment will be now? [00:24:42] after God himself [00:24:44] Came down as a man and bled out on the cross for you [00:24:49] This is scary. It's it's it gives you pause [00:24:56] when you approach God with caution or [00:25:00] reverence [00:25:02] The fear of the Lord and we'll go back to the topic of hell [00:25:08] Therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no [00:25:14] knowledge and [00:25:15] Their honorable men are famished and their multitude dried up with thirst [00:25:21] therefore hell are then lasted herself and open her mouth without measure and their glory and [00:25:28] Their multitude and their pump and he that rejoiced it shall descend into it [00:25:34] Note there says because they have no knowledge [00:25:38] We've covered that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of [00:25:45] knowledge [00:25:46] so if the enemy [00:25:49] can attack [00:25:51] the foundation of [00:25:54] your knowledge [00:25:56] foundation of your wisdom [00:26:00] Understanding of God the knowledge of what is holy then he can bring down the whole house [00:26:08] We don't want him to do that. So we need to know what how the enemy does this his tactics [00:26:17] Bible tells us not to be [00:26:20] Unaware not to be ignorant of the devil's devices his schemes his methods [00:26:27] We have to understand this [00:26:31] Pastor Dean told me to share something [00:26:33] because I [00:26:35] Spoken to him over the phone [00:26:37] About something that happened three years ago [00:26:40] I've been investigating why I was on that train [00:26:46] Where I went wrong. It happened in 2007 the dream and I [00:26:52] Constantly started watching videos because then weren't going to church [00:26:56] In fact, we started going to church because of that and then the enemy started to pursue us from church to church [00:27:04] The first church or the gift of the spirits are not for today [00:27:10] So we had to leave that church [00:27:14] Went to the next one and they tried to separate myself and my wife [00:27:20] Oh, you need to be going to that church and she needs to be going to that church [00:27:26] It was a predominantly African American church [00:27:32] even though the power the power of God was in that church, but they had some problems and [00:27:39] When they tried to split myself and my wife, we knew this is not where [00:27:44] We need to be because the Lord put us together [00:27:47] Quick testimony. I had a dream about my wife [00:27:52] Before I left Nigeria. I saw her in a dream [00:27:56] God showed me who my wife was and [00:28:00] When she first met me, she knew that I was a husband. In fact, she told her sister [00:28:06] That's my husband right there and she had not spoken to me [00:28:12] So we knew that God put us together. So when [00:28:15] This church is trying to separate us. We're like no [00:28:19] This is not where we need to be went to the next church and then we got attacked there [00:28:26] my daughter was barely two months three months old Aurelia and [00:28:32] Because of Mongolian pigmentation at the base of our spine [00:28:37] They automatically thought it was abuse. They called the police [00:28:42] they were taking pictures of our [00:28:45] Took her diaper off in church and taking pictures. They had crime scene investigation out [00:28:51] I mean we were traumatized from church to church. The enemy did everything to keep us out of the church [00:29:02] so we [00:29:04] We stayed home for seven years after that. We're like, well, we're gonna do church at home since [00:29:10] Seems like every church we went to they mean it was just waiting. They're trying to [00:29:15] tear us apart [00:29:19] slowly, but surely the Lord led me to [00:29:21] pass the Dean pass the Dean's ministries and [00:29:26] That's that completely changed my life. I rededicated my life at Skyfall 2019 and that was dramatic [00:29:36] Yes, he put his hand on my head and I did fall I [00:29:43] Fell so hard. My wife heard it in the back and that's part of letting go [00:29:52] Because every time I went up front I've gone [00:29:56] to the altar [00:29:58] Probably over a hundred two hundred times in my life because I wanted the witness of the Holy Spirit and I never got it [00:30:04] But it was always something I was always bracing myself like this pastor is not going to push me down [00:30:12] Like uh-uh, I've watched I've watched [00:30:15] People fall down all the time. I'm not falling but I we'd gone through so much at that time [00:30:24] We even missed [00:30:27] my sister-in-law's wedding [00:30:30] to come to that deliverance conference and [00:30:36] She she might have been upset then but I know she's not upset now [00:30:41] Because she's here with her husband [00:30:52] Well past the Dean pointed out [00:30:55] Well, I started going to [00:31:00] Ministry school I sign off from ministry school [00:31:02] Another vision the Lord basically told me that I needed to pay some attention to pastor Dean [00:31:09] That he was going to disciple me and teach me [00:31:12] So learning from pastor Dean I began to find out the error of all these translations [00:31:21] and IV New King James [00:31:24] Then I found this particular one [00:31:27] where shoot [00:31:29] Was changed to shower in John 3 16 and that hit me so hard. I'm like, this is it [00:31:39] This is the reason I was on that train [00:31:43] Going to hell [00:31:46] Because this this translations what they do the little errors like leavening, right? [00:31:53] little errors [00:31:55] What they do is to cheap away at the fear of the Lord [00:31:59] to excuse seen in your life and [00:32:04] The moment you allow that to happen you're on you're on that train. And so when I was convinced that yes [00:32:15] This NIV Bible was trying to get me into hell. I was like, I'm gonna send it to hell and that's what I that's exactly what I did [00:32:30] curious arts [00:32:33] Acts chapter 19 person 18 and Tony says many of them also which use curious arts [00:32:40] But their books together and burned them before all men and they counted the price of them and founded 50,000 pieces of silver [00:32:49] So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed [00:32:54] Pastor Dean has told us that these [00:32:56] translations [00:32:59] approved by by the Vatican [00:33:02] By the Catholic Church. I remember when the Lord first spoke to my heart. It was first confession [00:33:11] I went to a false confession cat kiss him in the Catholic Church. It's kind of brainwashing, right and [00:33:20] I knelt down in front of a priest doing my first confession. I was probably eight years old [00:33:27] And as soon as I said those words [00:33:32] Forgive me father for I have seen this is my first confession the fear of the Lord hit me hard [00:33:38] I was just convinced that I've done something wrong. I [00:33:43] Wasn't particularly sure what I did wrong, but I knew I just did something wrong [00:33:48] And the Lord told me never do that again [00:33:51] So I asked for forgiveness as a Lord. Please forgive me. I will never [00:33:58] kneel in front of a priest and [00:34:01] Ask for forgiveness or ask him to forgive my sins [00:34:06] the Lord outside speaking to me at a very early age [00:34:13] because I truly after reading the [00:34:17] My dad used to read [00:34:19] Read volume one with me trying to teach me how to read. That's how I learned how to read and [00:34:24] I just consumed the rest of the ten volumes because I was so interested in it [00:34:28] And that's how I learned how to read and the Lord lyrics that is speaking to my heart that young [00:34:33] And so I had a relationship with the Lord [00:34:37] but then you know [00:34:39] The NIV came into the picture and slowly [00:34:43] Yeah, that's what happened to that NIV Bible. That's the little fire pit in the back of our former house [00:34:55] It was I ripped it out of the washing machine [00:35:00] It's a good fire pit. It has those holes. It works great [00:35:05] Especially for dispatching Bibles. I'll tell you that [00:35:08] false translations [00:35:12] Martin used to come to [00:35:14] Bible study Martin and he had some troubles and [00:35:22] The Sunday the Sunday before this happened [00:35:28] I had spoken I was [00:35:30] Talking to everybody I was like, you know the next NIV Bible I get my hands on I'm going to burn it [00:35:36] And so Martin volunteered his I said bring it next week. We will burn that Bible [00:35:42] So standing around this fire pit about to burn the Bible [00:35:47] You know something occurred to me Wally. You're you're about to burn a Bible [00:35:54] What are you thinking? I'm like, no, this this are not the words of God [00:36:00] This is three years ago [00:36:02] These are not the words of where I'm convinced of it because I know this Bible almost got me on that train going to hell [00:36:08] So I'm going to burn it. I put it in a fire and [00:36:16] We stood around there Leroy Leroy was Leroy. Where are you? Is Leroy here? [00:36:25] Leroy was it was still in Tucson then [00:36:29] before he moved [00:36:31] Leroy, Jordan, Luis, Martin, we're all standing around the fire. Then my daughter Grace [00:36:36] She snuck out. She always wants to see what that is doing, right? [00:36:42] She snuck out of the house and was sitting [00:36:45] sitting [00:36:47] beside [00:36:49] Like a yard two yards away [00:36:51] from the fire pit and so we burnt it we're going into the house and [00:36:59] Leroy walked up to me and said [00:37:02] When you were when we're over there by the fire, I was looking at grace. I was watching her and she was looking up [00:37:08] Intently into the sky at something like it looks like she was seeing something. I was like, yeah, you know [00:37:17] She's a kid. She's just looking up whatever [00:37:20] We go back into the house and then a couple hours later. My wife walks up to me and tells me well [00:37:27] Grace told me something [00:37:29] She said she saw God [00:37:33] standing right [00:37:35] By the fire with us as we're you know burning this NIV Bible [00:37:41] She said his head was above the clouds [00:37:45] He stood that high and his face was as if the Sun was over it [00:37:54] Mean she was three years old at a time. Am I correct? [00:37:59] for four years old [00:38:02] This is a description of God as he appears in the Bible several times, right and she said I [00:38:11] Was like, oh she just saw an angel, but she said she saw God [00:38:15] So I was wondering well is God mad at me that I burned an NIV Bible, you know the enemy stay talking again [00:38:23] You burnt an NIV Bible man. You're in trouble. God was over there just watching you because he's going to get you [00:38:31] So, you know the fear of the Lord. I'm like Lord. I know I [00:38:38] Was convicted to burn this Bible because I believe it's not your word [00:38:42] So help me out here. I stay fast and I'm praying like Lord. I need a word from you [00:38:54] Couple I think a year about a year later. The Lord led me to Brandon Peterson's work [00:39:01] I was like ha ha got you now devil [00:39:06] Brandon Peterson is the [00:39:08] The guy that wrote sealed by the king the book [00:39:13] one of the resources [00:39:15] Sal and Jordan used for their presentation and there's a particular video that talks about 666 [00:39:24] Mark chapter 16 [00:39:27] verse 8 [00:39:30] 9 and 20 [00:39:32] There will be a footnote in all these fake translations casting doubt the same thing that the devil did in the Garden of Eden [00:39:39] firstly cast it out on the Word of God that is manuscript the LDS manuscripts do not include [00:39:46] verses 9 to 20 and [00:39:49] lo and behold all the verses [00:39:52] They exclude that add up to 666 verses [00:39:56] So I'm like this Bible actually bears the mark of the beast [00:40:01] That's the only number the Lord tells us to count, right? [00:40:05] So these fake Bibles, I know people love their Bibles and they you know have [00:40:14] Sentimental value, but if you think about it, is it truly the Word of God when it's casting doubt on [00:40:23] the authenticity of the Word if you take out a jaw and [00:40:29] The Tito you can't mess with it. You can't mess with the Word of God [00:40:37] you can alter it in any way you can't [00:40:41] Change it in any way, but that's what Satan does and what he's attacking is the fear of the Lord [00:40:49] he will start trying to [00:40:52] cause you to doubt the fact that God is just and [00:40:56] That he's true to his word and that when he says he's going to do something. He will do it [00:41:02] The fear of the Lord as our foundation [00:41:07] So this is what the Lord said telling me. There's a foundation [00:41:11] For your faith. There's a foundation for your love [00:41:14] There's a foundation for my love for you. There's a foundation for my relationship with you and that [00:41:22] Foundation is the fear of the Lord if that foundation is broken [00:41:27] My relationship with you is broken [00:41:30] Says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction Proverbs 1 7 [00:41:37] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding and if you look up that word [00:41:46] beginning [00:41:47] Says principal thing the beginning chiefest first [00:41:53] When you're building a house, what do you first do build a foundation, right? [00:41:59] That's the first thing you do. Well, Jesus himself compared our salvation as a house [00:42:08] Matthew 7 22 to 27 many will say to me in that day Lord Lord [00:42:13] Have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have we not cast out devils have cast out devils and in thy name [00:42:20] Don many wonderful works and then I'll profess unto them and never knew you depart from me ye that work in equity [00:42:27] Therefore we so ever hear it these saints of mine and do it them [00:42:32] I will liken him unto or what a wise man [00:42:37] Which built his house upon a rock and the rain descended and the floods came and [00:42:44] The winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not [00:42:48] for it was founded upon [00:42:51] rock that rock is the fear of the Lord and [00:42:57] Everyone that here at these saints of mine and do it them not [00:43:02] Shall be liking unto a foolish man [00:43:05] Which built his house upon the sand and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat down [00:43:13] Beat upon that house and it fell and great [00:43:17] Was the fall of it the enemy wants you to build on sand and so he wants to come and [00:43:25] Adulterates your foundation the fear of the Lord. He wants you to doubt the consequences that God has put in place [00:43:33] like hell [00:43:35] Like his wrath like his anger [00:43:39] You know God told me something he says how can you understand my love if you don't understand what I saved you from [00:43:47] If you don't understand what I'm saving you from how can you appreciate the fact that I came here and died for you? [00:43:57] So the consequences has to be front and center has to be before your face [00:44:03] Constantly because if not, you're going to take light to what God has done for you [00:44:11] Because God says I am saving you from me. I am saving you from my anger [00:44:19] I'm saving you from my wrath [00:44:22] So I came died on a cross to keep me from having to destroy you [00:44:31] That is scary [00:44:33] That gives me pause [00:44:37] Like he loves me that much [00:44:40] Because he's he's holy. He's a holy God and he's just [00:44:46] Abiding in the fear of the Lord. How do we stay in the fear of the Lord? [00:44:50] How do we keep from stepping outside of it so that we are safe? [00:44:55] through wisdom is a house [00:44:58] Builded and by understanding it is established proverbs 24 verse 3 [00:45:04] This is the same house. We're talking about says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom [00:45:10] So if you don't have the foundation guess what you've never started to build that house [00:45:17] Because it's through wisdom [00:45:19] God's wisdom that the house is built and by understanding it is established [00:45:26] The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and a knowledge of the Holy is understanding [00:45:30] That's proverbs 9 10 Exodus 20 20 and Moses said unto the people fear not [00:45:35] For God has come to prove you and that his fear may be before your faces that you've seen not [00:45:46] Moses is kind of saying fear not but fear [00:45:53] Why is he saying that he's saying do not be afraid? [00:45:58] But have reverence have all [00:46:01] Have a fearful respect of God [00:46:04] That's the one that draws you closer to him we caution [00:46:09] But don't be afraid and run away. Don't be afraid and don't [00:46:16] Because that will keep you away from God. That's not the fear of the Lord [00:46:21] The fear of the Lord actually draws you towards God [00:46:27] Because you come to understand who he is and what he wants what he requires [00:46:33] These are the two words in that scripture [00:46:39] Fear not yare which is a verb [00:46:42] To be afraid is this psychological reaction of fear [00:46:47] it's just random fear, you know when you're terrified scared of something and [00:46:53] Yira the noun which is reverence or [00:46:57] Reverential fear, you know the funny thing we said the enemy is dumbing down the fear of the Lord [00:47:04] I've heard people say oh you don't need to fear God you have on reverence for him [00:47:11] until I realized they didn't understand what all and reverence meant and [00:47:16] so that was a [00:47:18] That was like a cop-out. Oh, it's just all [00:47:23] But then I looked up the definition of all [00:47:27] Merriam-Webster dictionary defines us an emotion variously combining dread [00:47:34] Veneration and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime [00:47:44] That is way past fear [00:47:46] That is way past regular fear [00:47:50] That is another kind of fear steps it up and the American heritage dictionary of the English language defines reference as a profound [00:48:00] respect and esteem mingled with fear and [00:48:04] affection as for a holy being or [00:48:08] place [00:48:09] the deposition to revere and [00:48:14] Veneration [00:48:15] See if God gave us a perfect language and a perfect book and he can't attack the book [00:48:24] Do you think he will attack the language? [00:48:27] They say he has been changing the English language, right? [00:48:32] He's been changing the English language and you need to get old dictionaries, right? [00:48:39] Why? [00:48:40] Because now we call our sandwich is awesome. There is nothing awesome about your sandwich [00:48:52] God is awesome [00:48:55] Those words were set apart for God in the English language [00:48:59] If you go into the old definition of those words, they were reserved for God [00:49:05] But this is where the dumbing down comes in [00:49:09] Let's dumb down the fear of the Lord and let's let's change the words that were reserved for the holy [00:49:17] Let's change them. Let's dumb them down so that we can now use them for [00:49:23] everything else [00:49:27] Let's not I give you know, I give my keys a hard time. I [00:49:37] Wasn't trying to be difficult. I just I came from Nigeria [00:49:44] British colony and my dad was a stickler for [00:49:49] Using the right words for the writing [00:49:52] So if you if you said something like your sandwich was awesome, you are going to sit down for a lecture with my dad [00:49:58] He's going to lecture you what that word means and why you shouldn't use it to qualify something as mundane as your sandwich [00:50:07] So that's how I learned in the English language [00:50:12] And so I was very careful so understood in the Bible when Jesus didn't allow himself to be called good [00:50:21] Talk less of great and we use great for anything right now, you know words like terrific [00:50:30] fantastic even awful [00:50:35] Awful suppose it's originally meant full of all but what does awful mean now? [00:50:43] Think about it. These words were designed for God and the enemy attacked them [00:50:50] So that our relationship will not have the same [00:50:55] quality [00:50:57] Because he wants to destroy it. He wants to destroy our relationship with God [00:51:01] So that we don't know how to [00:51:04] How to worship him? [00:51:06] Because now we use common words the same words are supposed to have [00:51:11] huge meanings [00:51:12] We use those same words for mundane things. So when we use it for him, I was not showing that he is God [00:51:22] when the Lord [00:51:24] showed me this particular [00:51:27] thing in in the Greek [00:51:30] in the Greek Greek words when I was studying it shocked me and [00:51:35] This this is the only antidote to the dumbing down of the fear of the Lord. We have to study we have to study [00:51:44] study study [00:51:47] Make sure we are studying the the real Bible the King James version [00:51:54] Second Timothy 2 15 says study to shoot I self approved unto God a workman that needed not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth [00:52:03] started to shoot I self approved [00:52:07] that word [00:52:10] approved I [00:52:12] Was reading reading up on it. I actually bought this book just to confirm that this is for real [00:52:21] Donald Gray Barnhouse romance volume stand God's glory expression of Bible doctrines [00:52:28] Says in the ancient world. There was no banking system as we know it today and no paper money [00:52:33] All money was made from metal heated onto liquid poured into molds and allowed to cool when the coins were [00:52:40] Cooled it was necessary to smooth off the uneven edges the coins were comparatively soft and of course [00:52:47] Many people shave them closely in one century more than 80 laws were passed in Athens to stop the practice of whittling down the coins [00:52:57] Then in circulation, but some money changes were men of [00:53:02] Integrity we would accept no counterfeit money [00:53:07] They were men of honor [00:53:10] Will put only genuine full-weight money into circulation [00:53:15] Such men were called [00:53:18] documents and [00:53:21] The and this word is used here for the Christian as he is to be seen by the world [00:53:28] His life is is to contain no counterfeit [00:53:33] It is not to be lightweight [00:53:37] The believer is never to short change another [00:53:41] So if you're going to be approved if you're going to be documents [00:53:47] You can't have a fake translation of the Bible. You can't have a [00:53:55] Translation that has been perverted [00:53:57] The NIV alone over 10,000 words is it that was removed from the NIV? [00:54:07] That's a counterfeit [00:54:10] That's the work of the devil. That's a curious art. You need to burn it [00:54:15] You know what? The Lord told me he said pasta Dean is documents [00:54:35] Pasta Dean does not accept counterfeits anybody that knows pasta Dean [00:54:40] Knows that he's a straight shooter [00:54:43] When it comes to the word, I don't know if I don't know how he shooting knees in I've not shot with him [00:54:54] I would like to shoot with you [00:54:57] But he's a straight shooter he's a man of integrity [00:55:02] He talks about you know, if you have [00:55:07] If you find that a fake hundred dollar bill are you going to throw out? [00:55:12] The real one the real thing. No pasta Dean is the real thing. I know that not because I like him [00:55:21] Yes, I love my pastor, but I know that because the Holy Spirit told me that [00:55:27] In a vision that I needed to pay attention to him that his ministry is empowered by the Holy Spirit [00:55:35] And so I knew okay. This is my spiritual authority. I need to submit and do what he says [00:55:43] And my life has changed for the better for it. I thank God for pasta Dean my family [00:55:54] Thank God for you. My life has changed [00:55:56] My life has changed in so many ways since we stayed [00:56:03] Stayed being part of your ministry. Why should we study? [00:56:09] Says to shoot I serve our program to God a workman. I need not to be ashamed [00:56:14] Rightly dividing the word of truth [00:56:18] See the fear of the Lord [00:56:20] The understanding of the fear of the Lord will be sure if we study won't be ashamed [00:56:28] Proverbs 25 to says the glory of God to conceal a thing but the honor of Kings to search out a matter [00:56:35] Well, you know, I'm not a king. No. Yes you are if you're here. You're a king you're a priest [00:56:42] If you are here and you believe in the Lord Jesus and you've been called by him to follow him [00:56:48] then you are [00:56:51] Kings and priests so it is your duty to search out what God has concealed in his word [00:56:59] So that you can be approved [00:57:02] Revelations 1 6 and [00:57:04] Had made us Kings and priests unto God and his father [00:57:08] To him be glory and dominion forever. Amen [00:57:13] We can't get around studying the Bible [00:57:16] We can't get around studying the true Word of God [00:57:21] Once you start studying the Bible for yourself, it will change your life. It's the living Word. It's alive [00:57:32] It has the power [00:57:34] To change you. I really didn't know what grace meant until God actually named a [00:57:41] third daughter grace [00:57:43] The same one we saw him standing [00:57:48] God named I said you named the other daughters. I want to name her I told my okay, you know God wants to name her [00:57:56] So what are we going to do? We're just gonna wait [00:58:00] one week two weeks [00:58:02] Three weeks a month two months [00:58:06] Lord, she doesn't have a name [00:58:12] Whoa, you have such a beautiful daughter. What's her name? [00:58:18] We're waiting on the Lord they looked at us like not cases like what's wrong with these people [00:58:25] But then she did something a few [00:58:31] Days ago. My aunt came to visit me. I'm not saying my aunt. She's my cousin by color and kiss is older [00:58:37] She came from Scotland to to visit us and not tonight 30 years and she asked grace [00:58:44] She's like grace. Do you know what your name means and grace said power? [00:58:49] I'm like, yes [00:58:52] She's been listening to pastor Dean [00:58:55] Fire and grace [00:58:59] The grace of God is the power we need to change us if we study we will find that grace and [00:59:06] It to change every facet of our lives [00:59:09] now, this is the scary part because [00:59:17] Every time there's a command. There's a consequence [00:59:20] To not obeying that command and so the Lord showed me the consequence of not studying [00:59:31] You're either approved or you're a reprobate [00:59:38] We reserved the word reprobate for the sexual deviance in our culture, right? [00:59:43] Because of that scripture, we all know it, you know [00:59:48] but when I was studying and I found out that dokimos and [00:59:53] Reprobate is a dokimos [00:59:55] That's [00:59:57] opposite [00:59:58] so if you're not [01:00:01] approved [01:00:02] You are a reprobate and to be approved you have to study [01:00:08] There's no two ways. There's no getting out of this [01:00:13] Do you most properly? [01:00:15] acceptable [01:00:17] Approved tried that's what the Greek translates into a dokimos unapproved [01:00:26] There's no there's no fence here [01:00:29] You're in there on one side [01:00:32] Or you're another that's how I found myself on that train. I was studying the wrong [01:00:42] Bible I ended up [01:00:46] Accepting false doctrines as truth and so I was unapproved and God warned me see he's faithful [01:00:55] Amen [01:00:57] God will try to get you back [01:01:00] if you if you [01:01:03] If you're missing if you're you've taken the wrong road [01:01:10] He's going to do everything to try to get you back. He did everything to try to get me back [01:01:17] visions dreams [01:01:19] Now let's look at the scriptures [01:01:25] first Corinthians 9 27 [01:01:28] But I keep under my body and bring it onto subjection less that by any means [01:01:34] When I have preached to others, I myself should be cast away [01:01:38] This is the perfect scripture for any one saved always saved believer [01:01:45] Because if Paul is saying he could be a cast away [01:01:49] He could be a dokimos [01:01:52] Then that's a problem, right? [01:01:55] Romans 1 20 28 [01:01:58] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge [01:02:02] God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient [01:02:09] Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against you [01:02:16] See, this is what? [01:02:18] The fear of the Lord is supposed to help you do [01:02:22] to keep you from sin to keep you from becoming a reprobate a [01:02:27] Cast away someone that is rejected by God [01:02:31] When I was on that train, I was speaking in tongues. I was healing the sick [01:02:43] My children didn't go to the hospital any time. They were sick and laid hands on them and they recovered. I saw miracles [01:02:51] But yet I was on a train going to hell [01:02:55] Dreams visions yet. I was on a train going to hell [01:03:02] Examine yourself right to see view of the faith [01:03:05] We need the fear of the Lord is the foundation of that house [01:03:10] That house is our salvation work out your salvation with what fear and trembling for its God dies at work, right? [01:03:19] He's the one doing the work in you [01:03:23] See the Lord see what the Lord is saying here. It's come you children hacking on to me [01:03:28] I will teach you what the fear of the Lord [01:03:33] Psalm 34 11 [01:03:35] My son if thou will receive my words and hide my commandments with thee then shall doubt understand the fear of the Lord and find [01:03:41] the knowledge of God [01:03:43] That we henceforth be no more [01:03:46] children [01:03:47] Tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of man and cunning craftiness [01:03:54] whereby they lie in wait to [01:03:56] deceive [01:03:58] Efficient for 14 the enemy is trying to get us and he has agents all over the place [01:04:05] trying to get us to [01:04:08] Doubt that God is just so that we break his law who break his commandments and [01:04:16] Face his wrath [01:04:19] Having therefore these promises daily beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit second Corinthians 7 1 [01:04:28] That he might present it to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or [01:04:35] Any such thing that it should be holy and without blemish [01:04:39] He says the fear of the Lord is clean correct [01:04:42] That means is the clean agent to keep our garment spotless [01:04:49] Without the fear of the Lord we will stain our garments [01:04:54] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole [01:05:00] Duty of man. I have one more [01:05:05] Just one more this got me [01:05:08] Because in these times people refuse to [01:05:12] Gather I can do church by myself because that's what the enemy wants you to believe [01:05:17] He doesn't want to be part of a body. He doesn't want you to submit to a pastor [01:05:20] He doesn't want you to submit to spiritual authority. He doesn't want you to be in a place where you be protected [01:05:28] Says then they that fear the Lord speak often one to another this Malachi chapter 3 16 and [01:05:36] the Lord hearkened and heard it and [01:05:40] the book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and [01:05:46] That taught upon his name. We want our names to be in that book of remembrance. Amen [01:05:54] so please [01:05:56] Let's figure out what the enemy is doing to dumb down the knowledge of God [01:06:01] the fear of the Lord [01:06:04] So that we don't end up on that train. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Praise God [01:06:11] That was good [01:06:29] Now I want to tell you right now if that doesn't put the fear of the Lord in you nothing will right? [01:06:34] I don't want to be on that train and that's what's scary. I've said this about the scary verses [01:06:42] There's a lot of people that think they're not on that train and they are remember he said they were dazed [01:06:50] Didn't really realize what train they were on [01:06:52] So you better thank God if he's awakened you to reality. Amen
