[00:00:01] Praise you. He's all we need this morning
[00:00:09] This is the
[00:00:37] Your holy
[00:00:41] Leave this is my daily you're there only enough
[00:07:53] discerning enough
[00:07:54] We need you we need you truth of your word
[00:08:03] Establish this Lord and your word to be people
[00:08:06] Walked by
[00:08:08] Lord faith and not by our sight what help us to crucify the flesh and die
[00:08:16] to ourselves
[00:08:24] Spirit in truth, we all have pride that tries to rise to the surface and Lord God your word your truth
[00:08:38] You nullify all that we want to be people who humble ourselves and not people who get humble Lord
[00:08:50] I just praise you right we bow down to you Lord Jesus Christ the name above every name
[00:09:00] Thank you for your presence and your power
[00:09:02] This is the end my brain. This is the end your home
[00:09:32] This is my daily you're there we're lost without you
[00:13:00] We need your presence. We need you Holy Spirit. We need you to fill us and lead us and guide us we need you
[00:13:09] to give us discernment
[00:13:12] Lord to help us figure out the counterfeit
[00:13:15] That is fully
[00:13:19] present in the churches throughout this country and
[00:13:23] Lord, we pray God you give us discernment this morning in Jesus name and everybody said amen
[00:13:30] Amen
[00:13:32] Hallelujah. Well, we welcome everybody to fire and grace church this morning. And yes if
[00:13:37] Children get a little out of hand. We have a place downstairs
[00:13:42] Where you can still hear and watch the service we understand we don't do children's church here
[00:13:48] I think we've avoided a lot of problems with that
[00:13:53] We're a little different
[00:13:55] You know
[00:13:56] There's nowhere in the Bible says you got to have a specific children's church or youth group or any of that
[00:14:02] In fact when we first started we tried the youth group thing. It was a disaster and I said never again
[00:14:11] But I want you to open your Bibles this morning we're gonna start in 2nd Corinthians
[00:14:16] You
[00:14:18] know
[00:14:22] This is probably going to be repetitive for some of you today
[00:14:26] but
[00:14:28] How is your son doing? We've been praying for him
[00:14:49] Amen. Well her son Mike we've been praying for him Mike Nichols and
[00:14:55] Praying that God will do a miracle. He was diagnosed with what was it?
[00:14:58] It was a colon cancer and it had spread to his liver. So a good report from the doctor. Amen
[00:15:04] That's good. We just keep praying everybody lift up can remember to keep praying for Mike Nichols. Amen
[00:15:12] But 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 verse 1
[00:15:18] Let me set the stage here a little bit before we read this we're gonna read verses 1 through 4 here
[00:15:25] And I've read this many times but deception is a great problem in the body of Christ now
[00:15:32] I've been in this Pentecostal charismatic minefield. I'll call it
[00:15:38] now for 38 years and actually longer than that when I consider that my
[00:15:43] Great-grandmother and my great-aunt's took me to the first assembly of God Church of Opelika in oh
[00:15:49] Gosh, when was that when I was four five six seven years old?
[00:15:53] So I kind of had a little experience with the Pentecostal full gospel thing when I was a little
[00:16:00] Little bitty guy and I knew it was real the gift of tongues. I remember hearing it the first time
[00:16:06] In that first assembly of God Church the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues
[00:16:10] Which is equivalent to prophecy and just as a little guy sitting on about the second pew with my great-grandmother in my heart
[00:16:17] In my spirit, I knew it was real. I knew it was God
[00:16:22] Saw people get healed there
[00:16:24] And then of course later on a few years later
[00:16:27] We ended up my dad decided to go to the Baptist Church right down here Northside Baptist Church when I was about 11
[00:16:34] So around the somewhere in that year between when I was 11 and 12 is
[00:16:39] when I was truly born again in that church and some evangelists came through and
[00:16:45] Preached a pretty powerful message and it took four of them in a row to get me
[00:16:50] To get out of the pew and give my life to the Lord then we fast-forward as I've shared when I was 19 after
[00:16:56] Falling away from God and living in sin and being completely blinded by the devil for about seven years
[00:17:04] Drinking and partying and doing drugs and all the stuff I was doing
[00:17:08] from
[00:17:09] junior high all the way into college
[00:17:13] God finally opened my eyes to what real repentance was right and
[00:17:19] I repented and turned from my sin and and totally surrendered my life to Jesus at 19
[00:17:26] 1987 and
[00:17:28] Just a little while later. I'm talking about within weeks just because I was reading the Bible
[00:17:33] I wasn't able to go to church as I've shared because I was working on Sundays. So my boss could go to church and
[00:17:40] But just from reading the Bible I saw the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues
[00:17:46] I saw that clearly I didn't have any pastor or preacher ever teach it to me
[00:17:51] I just read it from the Bible and said well Lord is what I said
[00:17:54] I said if the Apostles who spent three plus years with you in personal training and
[00:18:00] Teaching if they needed to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and have the gift of tongues
[00:18:05] Then I guess I probably need that as well
[00:18:08] and I was actually in my little room a little prayer room of where I was living at the time in Arkansas and
[00:18:15] God filled me with the Holy Spirit now
[00:18:17] I felt the Holy Spirit come upon me
[00:18:19] But I had to open my mouth and yield to speak in a language the unknown tongue
[00:18:25] That I had not learned or nobody taught me or anything
[00:18:28] But I knew I had to take a step of faith out of the boat
[00:18:31] To receive because one thing God will hand it try to hand it to you, but you've got to receive it
[00:18:37] Now I say all that to say this
[00:18:39] There's two extremes that go on right now in the body of Christ particularly in America
[00:18:45] Also in Europe but also in Africa because we everything we do it ends up going over to Africa the good and the bad
[00:18:53] Right. We are
[00:18:54] America's a
[00:18:55] Spreader of stuff, you know, and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not so good
[00:19:03] But one of the things that we have two extremes
[00:19:05] we have the extreme of the parts of the church that just deny and
[00:19:10] Reject the gifts of the Holy Spirit completely God doesn't heal anymore though
[00:19:15] Every time somebody gets sick you find them having a prayer time for them
[00:19:18] I'm like that kind of contradictory there, but anyway
[00:19:22] But we know that God has not changed. God is the same yesterday today and forever, right?
[00:19:27] But there's there's entire denominations of the church world from Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists
[00:19:35] Who am I leaving out Lutheran Nazarene Church of Christ? I know I'll leave out somebody's favorite
[00:19:44] Presbyterian
[00:19:47] but that deny
[00:19:49] the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit are still for today and
[00:19:54] Then there's the other side of that coin
[00:19:56] and this is the side of the coin that's troubled me for many years and
[00:20:00] That is the side of the coin that there's a part of the church world. That is so
[00:20:06] Striving for supernatural things to happen
[00:20:10] dreams visions
[00:20:12] Miracles prophecies healings that they have stepped over into the counterfeit because they have made an idol out of seeking power
[00:20:23] Instead of seeking the Lord and waiting on the power and we have entire
[00:20:31] Ministries like Bethel for instance that teach you can teach people how to prophesy
[00:20:37] No, you don't teach people how to prophesy you want to tell you how you learn to prophesy
[00:20:46] when you're with the Lord enough that he starts giving it to you and you realize it's him and
[00:20:53] so much of what is now given forth in the church world in America in particular as
[00:20:59] The gift of prophecy is a counterfeit. It's divination. It's familiar spirits
[00:21:06] It's false, but it sounds right see and this is this this is the terrible thing
[00:21:12] It can sound right but it can be the wrong spirit
[00:21:17] There are acts 16 when the woman who was possessed with the spirit of divination was following Paul and going to prayer meetings
[00:21:27] I mean she was going to church
[00:21:28] She's going to church with them every day, right?
[00:21:32] Every day and they said these men are servants of the Most High God that show us the way of salvation
[00:21:37] She was prophesied, but Paul being grieved in his spirit
[00:21:45] See her words were right
[00:21:48] But the spirit behind her was wrong and the Holy Spirit was not going to allow the Apostle Paul to let her
[00:21:56] infiltrate and content
[00:21:59] The ministry I have to tell you right now that this is not the case in
[00:22:06] ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine nine percent of
[00:22:11] Pentecostal and Charismatic churches they have allowed
[00:22:15] witches
[00:22:17] enemies
[00:22:18] ignorant Christians
[00:22:20] Polluted Christians who have had themselves connected to these ministries. I'm gonna name some of them today
[00:22:28] Connected to these ministries and they come in as Christians who have good intentions and they're truly Christian
[00:22:34] But they're filled with these kind of leaning spirits these spirits of divination these familiar spirits and guess what?
[00:22:39] Supernatural stuff happens to them. They know stuff supernaturally. They prophesy they have tongues
[00:22:46] the counterfeit of the devil is so good that I have seen it deceive some of the
[00:22:54] Smartest some of the most sincere godly Christians that walk and to me it is absolutely
[00:23:04] The thing that I fight the most and that I have fought for the last 38 years as a minister is the counterfeit
[00:23:13] satanic demonic
[00:23:16] Infiltration into the church world and the all the various ways it comes in everybody loves in the Pentecost
[00:23:22] We love to talk about the Azusa Street revival, right?
[00:23:26] But we don't talk about what ended the Azusa Street revival
[00:23:30] Why did such a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit for three years almost four?
[00:23:36] Why did it end so abruptly abruptly and so terribly?
[00:23:40] If you read some of the other accounts what you find out is is that the people who had the spirits of divination the familiar
[00:23:50] spirits that could operate in the supernatural
[00:23:53] Came into the meetings now get this the leadership
[00:23:58] discerned
[00:24:00] That these people were operating in a wrong spirit
[00:24:04] But didn't do anything about it
[00:24:08] Allowed it. Well, we can't do that. We will cause division and strife or we will
[00:24:14] oh, this is the one that
[00:24:17] Bethel says I've heard Bill Johnson say this. Oh if we start dealing with the tears
[00:24:21] We're gonna pull up the roots and that's completely taken out of context
[00:24:26] Because that's about the angels dealing with the end-time people
[00:24:31] It has nothing to do with the church the fivefold ministry and Christians discerning
[00:24:38] What is truly the Holy Spirit and what is not and it's not popular
[00:24:43] I have shut people down in this church and had them walk out the door and not come back
[00:24:52] Because I am NOT gonna have
[00:24:55] The anointing of the Holy Spirit mimicked and this was even if I had one lady even in her prayer meeting
[00:25:04] I finally the spirit coming off of her was so demonic. I just stopped the prayer. I said stop
[00:25:13] Some of you were here. Just stop and go
[00:25:18] Know what you do and know what you're saying. Just just leave
[00:25:22] Now some of you have had found my abruptness in dealing with this sometimes hard to stomach. I
[00:25:30] Have three words for you. I don't care
[00:25:34] It's not your job to deal with it's mine, right?
[00:25:41] So I have to deal with it, but this is what Paul said. Let's read this
[00:25:46] Second Corinthians 11. He said would the God that you could bear with me a
[00:25:51] Little in my folly and it you with a godly jealousy
[00:25:58] For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ
[00:26:03] But I fear the man who feared nothing. He said this is my one fear
[00:26:08] He said less by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety
[00:26:16] So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ for if he that cometh preaches another Jesus
[00:26:23] Whom we have not preached or if you receive another spirit
[00:26:27] Which you have not received or another gospel which you have not accepted you might
[00:26:32] Well bear with him. So he's saying I
[00:26:37] fear that Satan Satan's
[00:26:40] Deception his ability to deceive the mind is so good. He said I fear that your minds are going
[00:26:47] Let's hear
[00:26:56] The simplicity that is in Christ. He's talking about simple devotion to Jesus
[00:27:01] And what that means and I'm gonna get into more that what that means in a second because we're gonna go to Ecclesiastes
[00:27:08] I've been
[00:27:10] Studying and meditating and reading through I can't seem to get out of Ecclesiastes
[00:27:15] Because there is so much vanity in the church world right now
[00:27:20] But he says here that also if you receive another spirit, do you see that if you receive another spirit?
[00:27:30] And he said, you know what? It's gonna be so subtle that you might well just do it
[00:27:37] He was telling now now think about this
[00:27:39] He was talking to the Corinthian church who was all about the gifts of the Holy Spirit talking in tongues in the supernatural
[00:27:46] they weren't so much on holiness though a lot of idolatry a lot of compromise with paganism and and
[00:27:55] witchcraft a lot of
[00:27:57] sexual immorality
[00:28:01] Office, I know
[00:28:03] Jesus said they came behind in no gift
[00:28:06] for it that had taken over
[00:28:10] The Church of Corinth and this is what I'm gonna talk to you about is that if we go
[00:28:16] to the other extreme
[00:28:19] where gifts
[00:28:21] those visions
[00:28:23] supernatural
[00:28:24] manifestations or the goal
[00:28:28] You are going to be deceived by another spirit. I'm just gonna tell you that right now and
[00:28:34] These people let me tell you I know there's a problem when somebody comes up to me and they prophesy every other day
[00:28:39] Or every dream they have they think so a word from the Lord. I know better
[00:28:48] I'm gonna be walking this way too long
[00:28:51] right
[00:28:53] If God was doing stuff like that in your life every single day or every week or whatever you would not be walking
[00:29:02] By faith you would be walking by what you see and experience by the five senses
[00:29:08] This is why you know, the Lord sometimes with baby Christians
[00:29:12] Will give them a lot of the goosebumps of the Holy Spirit
[00:29:16] But when you get mature the more mature you get in the Lord actually the less
[00:29:21] he does in the sense of
[00:29:23] He don't have to hit me like a freight train anymore. You know I'm saying he don't have to knock me down on the ground
[00:29:30] I'm all for that if it's him
[00:29:33] But he pretty much can get my attention now
[00:29:37] By just his eye like he said I want to guide you with my eye
[00:29:40] I don't even have the Lord's like when you I want you to grow up to the point
[00:29:44] I don't even have to talk to you. You just we just know each other so well
[00:29:47] You just know what what I want you to do
[00:29:51] Right and also he wants us to stay grounded in the Word of God in reading it
[00:29:59] regularly and in just simple discipline of being in the Word
[00:30:03] Being in prayer being faithful to church and Bible studies fellowship and worship
[00:30:10] Because if you can't be faithful in those things again, you are setting yourself up to be deceived
[00:30:18] Okay, and
[00:30:21] the reason one of the reasons for the body of Christ in fact one of the
[00:30:26] most important reasons for the fivefold ministry and the local church the pastor is to protect you from
[00:30:34] being deceived and
[00:30:37] especially someone is an elder who's been in it a long time and
[00:30:44] Sometimes I can see y'all starting to drift off into with the some of these ministries and some of these people
[00:30:50] And I'm just like Lord do I have to tell them again?
[00:30:57] Because it's funny, you know, my wife just they had y'all had to what what was it a tea a lady's tea
[00:31:04] the other day and
[00:31:06] In the lady's tea. They had a great Bible study. My wife did in fact, I wanted to preach it here sometime about contentment
[00:31:13] You know Paul talked about contentment a lot of the times the reason that we end up seeking
[00:31:22] Putting the seeking of supernatural manifestation so much
[00:31:26] That we get off base with it is because we're just simply can't be content in a season of being quiet and
[00:31:34] Just being before the Lord, you know my
[00:31:37] for back in
[00:31:39] 89 to about 91 I
[00:31:42] Was in Texas a lot. I was in Rockwell, Texas at
[00:31:47] Larry Lee's Church Church on the rock and that was a powerful church man. That was a church that prayed and
[00:31:52] I've shared some of that before but I'm gonna tell you right now that
[00:31:57] Even though they prayed and even though
[00:32:03] Actually, I had one of the most powerful prayer ministries I've ever seen they had a deliverance ministry they had
[00:32:10] Powerful like home groups because the church went from 70 people in the pastor's house to within
[00:32:17] Five years, it was like 6,000 people and then they had to build another church and it ended up being about 12,000
[00:32:26] people were getting saved but
[00:32:28] the
[00:32:32] The desire for the supernatural
[00:32:36] The desire for the supernatural and what I see in a lot of these so-called prophetic
[00:32:44] Ministries that are out there now is this
[00:32:49] striving the next
[00:32:54] Thing and it actually is, you know hide down here
[00:33:01] Let me retire because I'm tired of it. I'm tired of watching it. I'm tired of seeing it
[00:33:07] Who's the flavor of the month this week? You got?
[00:33:12] Crick Catherine crick. I can't believe people are falling for that witch
[00:33:24] Rick Joyner Patricia King James gall
[00:33:28] All of them connected to that whole Kundalini thing
[00:33:31] And I see ministry still connected to them. I see people still go into them and
[00:33:41] I've watched the train wrecks
[00:33:44] The train wrecks that's what happened at Azusa Street. It's what happened at the Brownsville revival
[00:33:50] It's what happened at the Toronto revival. It's what happened with
[00:33:55] John Wimber and the whole
[00:33:58] Vineyard movement
[00:34:00] They let these counterfeit people and these people with the pollution of these evil spirits
[00:34:08] Come in to the ministry and destroy it and people died
[00:34:13] Wimber, I believe got cancer and died John where I believe John Wimber was an apostle
[00:34:18] But he got cancer and died because he opened the door
[00:34:22] To occultism. He was the one that opened the door for Richard Foster in the whole visualization
[00:34:30] meditation stuff into his church, then he had Paul Kane and Mike Bickel and
[00:34:36] Bob Jones all those false prophets
[00:34:39] From Morningstar had all of them come to vineyard and then he gets cancer and dies in the vineyard churches
[00:34:46] Pretty much destroyed. And how do I know this because I've been this close
[00:34:54] talking
[00:34:55] to Bob Jones
[00:34:58] I've been this close talking to Rick Joyner. This is stuff. I just read in the book somewhere
[00:35:05] I made the mistake as it being in my 20s and letting that false prophet Bob Jones lay hands on me
[00:35:12] Let me tell you when that I let that guy lay hands on me the demons that came into me were
[00:35:18] unreal I had
[00:35:20] weeks of deliverance and the people in my church that I had to take to get clean from that and
[00:35:27] I'm gonna show you something the contamination
[00:35:30] Let's go to
[00:35:32] go to
[00:35:37] Jeremiah 23
[00:35:38] This is why you have to be very careful
[00:35:48] Who you allow to pray for you who you allow to prophesy over you who you allow to speak in tongues over you?
[00:35:56] You know, I remember the Pentecostal churches you guys remember this
[00:36:01] You remember this back in the in the assemblies of God in the late 80s and 90s
[00:36:05] Somebody come up for prayer and they say everybody come up here and lay hands on them
[00:36:09] No
[00:36:10] No, no, no, no, no
[00:36:12] Witches and Satanists and infiltrators love that and we wonder why people don't get healed in those type of settings
[00:36:20] Or something doesn't happen that or if people get sicker and die. Oh
[00:36:27] Yeah
[00:36:29] Jeremiah 23, I just want to go to verse 9
[00:36:33] I'm gonna read a few verses here because this is how I feel this morning
[00:36:39] After some of the I had just stumbled onto some research. I was just looking into some things and I stumbled on to
[00:36:46] Some of this stuff again, and I was like, oh boy, here's the new one
[00:36:51] But he says this the Apostle Jeremiah because he was having to deal with the false prophets telling people
[00:36:58] The good things they wanted to hear and the people were being swayed and it was causing Jeremiah
[00:37:05] Problems and he said my heart within me is broken
[00:37:09] Because of the prophets all my bones shake
[00:37:12] I am like a drunken man and like a man
[00:37:15] Whom wine hath overcome because of the Lord and because of the words of his holiness
[00:37:20] For the land is full of adulterers
[00:37:23] For because of swearing the land mourned the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up
[00:37:29] And he says their course is evil and their force is not right
[00:37:34] For both prophet and priest are profane unclean polluted. Yeah in my house
[00:37:40] I have found their wickedness in my house in the the prophets and the priest are
[00:37:51] And he says here why they're full of adultery. I think about
[00:37:56] The verse the Lakeland Revive and I talked about this a few weeks back, but the Lakeland Revive
[00:38:03] I Nancy and I started dating around the time that was going on
[00:38:08] We got engaged
[00:38:10] But right about time it started I think or a little before
[00:38:14] 2008 and like I said, I know Roy fields
[00:38:19] Who led worship there? I didn't know him then but I know him now and
[00:38:24] The anointing of the Holy Spirit be so strong on Roy when he was leading worship and then this
[00:38:33] Tattooed goofball would get up and I and the Holy Spirit even go
[00:38:41] Now something's wrong with this dude. Now we come to find out
[00:38:45] that while all the prophetic movement from
[00:38:49] from
[00:38:50] Bill Johnson at Bethel to Rick Joyner. I mean some of you are gonna know these names
[00:38:56] But this is the big charismatic
[00:38:58] Prophetic movement in America throughout the world all these guys Jim Gall
[00:39:03] Paul Kane Bob Jones all these people Patricia King. Who's the pink haired lady? That's so goofy
[00:39:11] Cat cur all these all of them show up at the revival at the
[00:39:17] Lakeland revival
[00:39:19] Laying hands on Bentley. He's the next apostle of revival bleh bleh bleh bleh. He's laying on the floor shaking in there
[00:39:27] Doing all their stuff and I'm sitting there going. Oh now I know
[00:39:33] See I didn't it was me
[00:39:42] No, no
[00:39:44] No
[00:39:45] Now that tent they had held 10,000 people and it was filled every night
[00:39:54] People went there from all over the world all over the United States to get hands laid on them Christians
[00:40:01] my own brother went and
[00:40:09] Little did we know at the time?
[00:40:12] That while the whole revival was going on for about I don't know it was two or three months. I can't remember how long
[00:40:19] Todd Bentley is cheating on his wife
[00:40:23] having an affair with his assistant and
[00:40:28] Not one of those so-called prophets
[00:40:31] Discerned a thing that was going on and they tell you why they didn't discern a thing that was going on because they're not operating in the
[00:40:36] Holy Spirit they're operating in the counterfeit
[00:40:43] Look, I'm gonna tell you how I know Rick Joyner is
[00:40:47] operating and is operating the counterfeit for years because that man puts himself out there to be
[00:40:54] Right and just an expert in church history, right?
[00:41:00] Yet I have his articles and stuff from the early 2000s
[00:41:04] Talking about when I think was 2005 when Pope
[00:41:07] Pope John Paul the second died and he how he praised the Pope how Pope John Paul
[00:41:12] He was the greatest one of the greatest Christian leaders of all time and I was I thought to myself
[00:41:17] Nothing about Pope John Paul the second was Christian
[00:41:22] He was a universalist
[00:41:25] He was in with the Illuminati. Is there a problem? Oh, I'm sure it is
[00:41:45] Don't worry. We're as long as we record everything we could upload it again. I don't care
[00:41:51] Okay
[00:41:52] It never fails. Oh, he's the devil. He doesn't like this because
[00:41:58] Because the church has been deceived by these people. Let me show you let me show you this
[00:42:03] Let's just and and see this is another thing when he says here
[00:42:10] Let me just read this again verse 9 my heart within me is broken because of the prophets all my bones shake
[00:42:16] I am like a drunken man. I am like a man who wine hath overcome because of the Lord and the words of his
[00:42:23] holiness
[00:42:26] See, I want to tell you something anybody that has a right attitude about the gifts of the Holy Spirit tongues
[00:42:32] Interpretation of tongues prophecy word of knowledge word of wisdom anybody that has a right attitude
[00:42:37] Should be terrified
[00:42:39] To do it. I mean one of the most terrifying things to me is when I feel like the Lord is speaking to me or showing me something
[00:42:49] because I don't want to be deceived by a
[00:42:52] Counterfeit and I don't want to lead people to stray and so it should cause
[00:42:59] But I see these people that are just they got you know
[00:43:03] They got a word every day 9 o'clock on Tuesday, and they do a Facebook live to share it with you
[00:43:11] run
[00:43:14] Run away. That's not of God. That's marketing. You hear me
[00:43:23] Oh, I've had these marketing companies if you do this just like this
[00:43:30] Follow this little pattern. You'll be you'll have a million subscribers and we guarantee it if you do did and that's exactly what they're doing
[00:43:39] And then they walk around I got two million subscribers. Well, who cares?
[00:43:46] What are you leading them to?
[00:43:49] That's the question. See I've seen this stuff destroy people, you know, and I'm just gonna be honest
[00:43:59] Everybody asked you know, I love Steve Hill Steve Hill
[00:44:02] The evangelist that God used at the Brownsville revival. I knew about Steve
[00:44:10] In the late 80s probably, you know, I think I probably heard him maybe 89
[00:44:16] in Montgomery came to evangel temple and he had his little book stone cold heart and
[00:44:22] man, what a testimony he had he's Alabama boy from Huntsville and
[00:44:26] was a drug dealer and all that stuff and was dying of an overdose and
[00:44:32] His mom's Lutheran minister came in and I guess this guy actually knew Jesus and led him to Jesus and he said he was having
[00:44:39] full, you know withdrawals so severe to the point he was about to die and
[00:44:45] He calls on Jesus and it all stops and I know the judge that he had to stand before
[00:44:51] Judge Randy Thomas that decided to not send him to prison because he needed he I think he was gonna get 25 to life
[00:44:59] Something like that because it wasn't his first rodeo
[00:45:02] But judge Randy Thomas was a born-again Christian. He got saved around that time
[00:45:07] I know him because I used to have lunch with him weekly and
[00:45:15] Judge Thomas said we're gonna send you to the
[00:45:19] David Wilkerson team challenge up in Huntsville and he went through that gave his life to the Lord fully
[00:45:27] And he's at Brownsville and I went we I went weekly there for the first
[00:45:33] couple of
[00:45:34] Years, I think I drove from Montgomery to
[00:45:38] Pensacola all the time one of my friends was the children's pastor there
[00:45:44] And I just went all the time and I at times I got to meet and talk with Steve Hill
[00:45:51] John Kilpatrick Dr. Michael Brown during that time
[00:45:56] Lindell we had conversations. I was on the front row
[00:45:59] Usually is one of the pastors that would counsel with people that came to the altar for salvation
[00:46:04] So I saw it all up and close and personal and I can tell you Steve Hill was the real deal
[00:46:13] He was a man of God. He was legit. He loved the Lord
[00:46:18] He preached the gospel
[00:46:20] He was open to the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit and he was a hard worker
[00:46:26] What the grueling schedule he went through for five years. I don't know it had to be God sustain him
[00:46:31] but
[00:46:34] when
[00:46:35] They started letting those people come in. I remember when the Morning Star people started coming in I
[00:46:47] Thought oh crap. Here we go. Here we go again, and then
[00:46:54] The people that were connected to them and the people that were connected to them. It was at that time
[00:47:00] that the skin cancer started on Steve Hill's neck and
[00:47:09] Then he makes the horrible mistake of
[00:47:14] Endorsing the Lakeland revival and Todd Bentley before he even knew who the guy was
[00:47:21] Both him and John Kilpatrick endorse that revival which made a lot of people go to it said it's it's the real deal
[00:47:27] It wasn't Todd Bentley was into all kind of sexual sin
[00:47:35] He was into the visualization and astral projection and all that stuff. He learned from Bob Jones
[00:47:42] he's doing all this stuff and
[00:47:48] Pastor John Kilpatrick repented over endorsing it after Steve Hill never did
[00:47:53] Then Steve Hill's church in Texas had some of these prophets in there. What's her name?
[00:48:01] Jacob's Cindy Jacobs. I'm just gonna name them. I don't care
[00:48:08] I wouldn't let any of that
[00:48:11] Motley crew lay hands on me
[00:48:13] All right
[00:48:16] But he had that woman in his church part of that again connected that are all connected and I was even my wife will testify to
[00:48:25] This and I was talking back and forth with Steve Hill's wife as he is in as he is in the last stages of death
[00:48:31] We're praying for him to be healed. I
[00:48:36] Tell his wife the doors are open because of this person this person this person
[00:48:43] Bob Jones Paul came I
[00:48:46] Go down the list Rick Joyner
[00:48:51] Cindy Jacobs, I said his whole
[00:48:54] counterfeit
[00:48:55] Prophetic movement that's polluted and tainted. I said you need to lay hands on your husband
[00:49:01] bind all the demons that came into him from these people and cast them out that is your only hope your only shot and
[00:49:09] She would not receive that and he died the great evangelist who was a real Christian
[00:49:22] Allowed the pollution of the counterfeit into his life and it destroyed him it killed him. He died before his time
[00:49:29] I'm gonna tell you that right now and that ought to make us all
[00:49:37] Wake up and realize this is not a game wherein this is a life and death battle and struggle
[00:49:44] Christians just run along like
[00:49:48] Go ahead go ahead on with your bad self, right?
[00:49:58] Let's go to you. Let me show you. Let's go to this
[00:50:02] Please he asked these chapter 5. I think about some of these ministries. They got a word every day or a dream or a vision every day
[00:50:26] And he says here in the context of not being rash with your mouth
[00:50:34] well, let's just read it from verse 1 it says keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God and
[00:50:40] Be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools
[00:50:44] For they consider not that they do evil
[00:50:48] See they don't some of them don't even realize that they're operating in a
[00:50:52] Counterfeit he says be not rash with thy mouth and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God
[00:50:59] For God is in heaven and thou upon the earth
[00:51:02] therefore let thy words be few for a dream cometh through the multitude of busyness and
[00:51:08] A fool's voice is known by a multitude of words
[00:51:13] This is how I know sometimes just like they talk too much
[00:51:18] They got a prophecy every day. They got a dream a vision a word and let me tell you what it is
[00:51:25] It is a push
[00:51:28] to appear super spiritual so people will lift you up and I get sick and tired of this this is a
[00:51:38] problem that sincere Christians, but particularly younger Christians fall into
[00:51:44] When God does start giving them the gifts of the Holy Spirit all of a sudden what?
[00:51:51] They're super Christian now, right and
[00:51:58] Everything starts becoming spiritualized. I'm gonna eat meatloaf today because I had a dream about meatloaf
[00:52:06] You get what I'm saying? I'm telling you. I have seen it for years and years and years and years
[00:52:20] Going down in this chapter. We're gonna go
[00:52:24] Well, this is keep reading is fun. Why not?
[00:52:27] Verse four when thou vow is to vow unto God defer not to pay it for he hath no pleasure in fools
[00:52:33] Pay that which thou has vowed
[00:52:35] Better is it that thou should is not vow
[00:52:37] And that thou should is vow and not pay suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin
[00:52:44] Well, we could park right here for a while
[00:52:47] Your mouth can cause your flesh to sin
[00:52:51] Neither say thou before the angel that it was an error
[00:52:55] I mean is the oldest oops that just made a mistake. No, not if you're dealing in false prophecies regularly
[00:53:01] It's not a little error mistake. You're something is wrong
[00:53:05] He says wherefore should God be angry at thy voice and destroy the work of thy hands for in the multitude of dreams in
[00:53:11] Many words, there are also divers vanities
[00:53:15] But fear thou God and when I think about fearing God again, I mentioned it a minute ago
[00:53:23] I
[00:53:25] See in these a lot of these people that they they give prophecy or a dream a vision a word or something
[00:53:31] They thanks from the Lord every other day. And what it tells me though is not just that
[00:53:36] They're probably operating. They're probably being deceived by a counterfeit
[00:53:41] seducing spirit
[00:53:43] But it also shows me
[00:53:47] That the fear of God is lacking
[00:53:50] Because if you really have the fear of God and you don't want to make mistakes and errors with this stuff
[00:53:56] you will shut your mouth and pray more and
[00:54:00] Study more and learn how to discern between what is real and what is not. I
[00:54:11] Remember I had a good friend years ago. I've shared this good friend
[00:54:15] He grew up in a Holy Spirit field charismatic family and they were legit
[00:54:20] I love this family and me and him were like best friends for
[00:54:25] many years
[00:54:27] and one day we were in a prayer meeting and
[00:54:30] He just up and
[00:54:33] prophesied and I mean he he
[00:54:35] God used him in the gifts. He was baptized in the Holy Spirit. He had the gift of tongues
[00:54:39] He had the gift of interpretation tongues
[00:54:41] He had to give the prophecy and sometimes God used him to prophesy in the church and that's that's all great
[00:54:47] But he gave this word of prophecy and I knew in my spirit. It wasn't God. It was from his own head
[00:54:52] Now he wasn't trying to do anything evil and he hadn't been to any of these ministries to get contaminated
[00:54:59] It just came from a flippant attitude. Just oh, well, we can prophesy, you know, and I said I won't say his name
[00:55:07] But I said hey man, you know, that wasn't the Lord. That was you
[00:55:14] His little head went down. I said look man. I'm all for you prophesied
[00:55:23] But let it be from the Lord and not you and nothing he said was was
[00:55:32] wrong biblically or
[00:55:35] Doctrinally
[00:55:36] It was a good word
[00:55:38] But it wasn't the Lord speaking. It wasn't the Holy Spirit and I told him I said do not play around with this and
[00:55:46] He humbled himself and he received what I said. He said I won't do it. He said I hear you
[00:55:52] I know what he received it. And so then on what did he do? He prayed more and got in the word more and
[00:55:59] Made sure that it wasn't just his own thoughts
[00:56:03] But it was the Lord when he he got more serious about it. So he got more of the fear of God about it
[00:56:10] To make sure if you're gonna say thus saith the Lord and it's not you are lying
[00:56:17] Do you hear me and you can be leading others astray?
[00:56:23] Because if they think it's the Lord and it's not
[00:56:26] But they take it as some kind of confirmation to something that they think they've heard then they can be completely misled
[00:56:33] And this is why this is so dangerous. We have to be
[00:56:39] super
[00:56:40] careful
[00:56:42] That we're not allowing this to be contaminated because these spirits are slick
[00:56:47] Let's go to first Timothy 4 verse 1 everybody ought to know this verse by heart because I I probably
[00:56:54] Have preached on this verse over the years more than any other
[00:56:58] I could quote it. In fact, I will
[00:57:02] Now the spirit speak is expressly that in the latter time some shall depart from the faith
[00:57:08] giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devil speaking lies in epoxy having the conscience seared with a hot iron and
[00:57:18] We could go on but let's back up to the verse 1
[00:57:23] The spirit when Paul says the spirit speak at expressly what he's saying is that you know
[00:57:30] The Holy Spirit would come on Paul and Peter and them to write and they would be writing and the Holy Spirit is flowing through
[00:57:38] Them and they're just but they're just right as the Holy Spirit is giving them, right?
[00:57:43] What this means is like they were in the he was in the normal flow of writing
[00:57:50] Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and then the Holy Spirit said hey
[00:57:54] Hey, hey
[00:57:57] Let me emphasize this to you. It's why he said the Holy now the spirit speaketh
[00:58:03] Expressly like I want you to really really really get this and make sure everybody knows that this is important
[00:58:11] especially for the church of
[00:58:13] the last days
[00:58:15] He said they're gonna be some that depart from the faith. Why?
[00:58:22] Because they listen to
[00:58:24] Seducing spirits first, it's two things here
[00:58:29] seducing spirits that lead you to
[00:58:32] doctrines of devils
[00:58:34] See, this is how a lot of people ends up end up in the whole Torah movement, right? They listen to the seducing spirits
[00:58:42] Oh, we should keep all of the Bible. God hasn't changed all these things the devil comes in and tells them
[00:58:48] well, you're not doing enough, you know, you got to keep the commandments and
[00:58:53] They somehow lose their ability to understand
[00:58:57] There's a difference between the old covenant and the new covenant. It's one of the most basic understandings that there is
[00:59:05] right
[00:59:07] God made a new covenant
[00:59:10] through Jesus sacrifice and
[00:59:14] Much of the old is gone now. We don't do it
[00:59:17] I mean, I've had people try to you know, tell me if I'm not righteous if I don't wear the Z Z
[00:59:23] Now if you want to wear Z Z's wear them to your heart's content
[00:59:26] But the moment you start telling people if you don't keep this law, you're not really righteous like me
[00:59:32] You give what I'm saying?
[00:59:33] But see it is the seducing spirits. Well, so you'll be a you'll be a more obedient
[00:59:40] Holy Christian, you'll be proving you love God if you'll go back and try to keep the
[00:59:45] 619 laws of the old covenant and it seduces them into actually what Paul said if you look to the law for
[00:59:54] Justification Christ has become no effect to you, but I'm just using that as an example
[01:00:01] seducing spirits will lead you into eventually doctrines of devils and
[01:00:09] Notice he says it's seducing deceiving. What is seducing me?
[01:00:13] It means it's it pulls upon your flesh of what your flesh likes
[01:00:20] I mean look there's not a Pentecost or a charismatic who does not want more of
[01:00:27] God more of the Holy Spirit and more because I do I want the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow through me more than he
[01:00:34] does now
[01:00:35] Nothing wrong with that. You understand not a thing wrong with it, but I'm not going to
[01:00:46] Go after that so hard
[01:00:49] That I just kind of let myself be pulled into you know, the fire tunnels at Bethel
[01:00:57] You know, I don't see fire tunnels in here anywhere
[01:01:03] All right, or I don't see the Holy Spirit like the blue genie of Aladdin and you know, what's it's I shouldn't say funny
[01:01:15] but you know, it's
[01:01:16] What I find in these ministries that have these the seducing spirits have contaminated them
[01:01:23] There is always
[01:01:25] always always always
[01:01:29] It leads to a bunch of sexual immorality in their group
[01:01:34] Always it spreads like wildfire
[01:01:37] You can't play with these things
[01:01:45] You can't play with these people go with me. I'm gonna go to
[01:01:53] Revelation 2 real quick. I think pastor Troy mentioned this yesterday. We were listening to
[01:02:02] Pastor Troy as we were going to Birmingham. Oh, yeah, I'm trying to think what I just say revelation to write
[01:02:17] Down to verse 18. I'm gonna read this real quick. Hey, it's not even it's not even noon yet. So we got a ways to go
[01:02:25] Said unto the angel of the church at Thy attire right these things say at the Son of God
[01:02:30] Who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire and his feet like undefined brass
[01:02:35] I know thy works and charity and service and faith and thy patience and I works and the last to be more than the first
[01:02:43] Notwithstanding. I have a few things against thee because thou sufferers that woman Jezebel which calleth herself a prophetess
[01:02:50] To teach and to seduce my servants and to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed into idols
[01:02:56] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication and she repented not
[01:03:01] Behold, I will cast her into a bed and then that commit adultery with her into great tribulation
[01:03:05] except they repent of their deeds and I will kill her children with death and
[01:03:10] All the churches shall know that I am he that searches the rains and the hearts and I will give unto every one of
[01:03:15] You according to your works, but I say unto you
[01:03:21] I
[01:03:25] 'm hot in here. I don't know about y'all
[01:03:27] He said but I say unto you unto the rest in Thy attire as many as have not this doctrine
[01:03:33] Which have not known the depths of Satan somebody said the depths of Satan as they speak
[01:03:38] I will put none upon you none other burden
[01:03:41] But that you have already hold fast till I come he that over cometh and keepeth my works into the end
[01:03:48] To him will I give power over the nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron
[01:03:53] As the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers even as I received of my father and I will give him
[01:03:59] The morning star I find this so interesting that it's morning star ministries over there
[01:04:04] He that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches now all of these
[01:04:11] rebukes and corrections were given to specific churches, but they're also for us
[01:04:16] And I believe that you have all of these kinds of churches exist today
[01:04:20] You got the Leo to see in lukewarm Church
[01:04:23] You got the lot left their first love church, Ephesus. You've got all these things
[01:04:28] You got the persecuted church right now Christians, you know, we're all here in the comfortable air conditioning
[01:04:34] We don't have to worry about we walk out the door or Muslims are gonna bust in
[01:04:40] Start crucifying people and cutting people's heads off. That's what's going on in Syria right now
[01:04:46] Lord pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Syria
[01:04:51] But he says here to the pastor
[01:04:54] the leaders of
[01:04:57] the church of Thyatira you
[01:05:00] Allow you suffer it means you permit that woman Jezebel which calleth herself a prophet is
[01:05:07] So she was a prophet
[01:05:10] prophetess, so she was
[01:05:12] allegedly, right
[01:05:15] Prophesying operating in words of knowledge words of wisdom and then because of her gifts
[01:05:22] They let her teach
[01:05:25] but she began to seduce
[01:05:27] The church to commit fornication now the word fornication Pornia has two meanings
[01:05:33] It means both spiritual
[01:05:36] Idolatry adultery and the real thing
[01:05:40] All right
[01:05:42] So he's saying that because her teaching and her
[01:05:46] Counterfeit that she was operating in
[01:05:49] Was causing people
[01:05:51] to fall into both
[01:05:54] spiritual
[01:05:56] idolatry adultery and
[01:05:58] physical sexual sin and I've seen this for years I
[01:06:07] Remember Bob Jones the prophet by talking about how many things he he foretold
[01:06:11] That came to pass. Oh
[01:06:14] See, this is where we fall into it. God warned us even if a prophet says something that comes to pass and
[01:06:22] He starts leading you in a direction. That's not of the Lord
[01:06:26] You're not to believe him, right?
[01:06:29] Bob Jones was at
[01:06:31] What became I hop your national house of prayer Mike Bickel's place prophesying. It was gonna snow in July. It's snowed
[01:06:39] Well, the devil can manipulate the weather folks all this stuff. He prophesied
[01:06:44] It would come to pass but while he's doing all this stuff
[01:06:48] While this prophet Bob Jones is doing all that and they call him the father of the entire movement of the prayer
[01:06:55] movement of Mike Bickel of
[01:06:57] The prophetic movement of Rick Joyner him and Paul Kane are the fathers of this
[01:07:02] Prophetic movement the charismatic Pentecostal church world while he's prophesying
[01:07:08] There at the church while he's up teaching and preaching
[01:07:11] He's calling women into his office and they have to strip down naked in front of him to get a word from the Lord
[01:07:23] Now is it any wonder that his little protege Mike Bickel has for the last 40 years
[01:07:29] Been seducing young women into sexual immorality
[01:07:34] Committing adultery against his wife and living in fornication while he led the biggest prayer and prophetic movement in the American Church
[01:07:43] it's sickening and now we find out that even the
[01:07:54] Scholar of the charismatic and Pentecostals. Dr. Michael Brown
[01:07:59] Was messing around with young ladies
[01:08:04] During the Brownsville revival and I knew something was wrong back then
[01:08:12] Yeah, it ends up in
[01:08:24] seducing spirits goes to
[01:08:26] Doctrines of Devils. He said you're seducing my servants into sexual sin
[01:08:31] And when he says to eat things sacrificed to idols, that was just an area of compromise
[01:08:36] We're just gonna compromise with the world
[01:08:39] So it leads to weak
[01:08:44] Worldly Christianity and what do we have everywhere and see like what's this? What's the oh?
[01:08:53] What's that guy's name?
[01:08:55] Somebody helped me to the bald guy
[01:08:59] Said his head ain't as pretty as mine, but huh not gall. He's younger the new one. That's with
[01:09:09] Joseph Z. All right. Let me use him an example
[01:09:13] Let me use it an example
[01:09:14] And the only reason I say this is because like I don't know this guy and he's new
[01:09:18] he's the one of the new flavors of the month now, right and
[01:09:21] When I heard him start talking about how he loved Bob Jones and he took Bob Jones prophecies as being legitimate
[01:09:29] I said he has no
[01:09:32] discernment whatsoever
[01:09:34] right
[01:09:36] but yet he's got a word for us every other day and
[01:09:45] The moment the debate happened between me and Greg Locke the moment he comes out against
[01:09:50] biblical cosmology
[01:09:52] I'm like who is this new dude here?
[01:09:55] So as I normally do I find out who they're connected to
[01:10:01] Who's their mentor who's laying hands on them? Who's their counselors and it is a minefield?
[01:10:14] You know you'd like to be able to go to a church call for the elders of the church get anointed with oil and not
[01:10:18] Have to worry about getting a condolini demon in you. I'd be nice. I would love that
[01:10:27] Doesn't hardly exist anymore. I'm telling you that the the shepherds that are willing to try to protect the people are
[01:10:37] almost
[01:10:38] Existing it disturbs me
[01:10:42] Because they see as a pastor or a prophet and I'm a prophet and a pastor, but the job is
[01:10:51] protect the sheep feed the sheep and protect the sheep from the wolves and
[01:10:58] That's wolves in sheep's clothing
[01:11:02] You let me tell you that's the hardest part of the job
[01:11:08] Preaching and teaching is the easy stuff because that's just a gift
[01:11:13] what I have to do behind the scenes dealing with people that want to sneak in here and
[01:11:22] Lay hands on you and bring harm to you. That's the war I have
[01:11:28] So y'all better stop getting mad at me when I send somebody out the door. I might know something
[01:11:35] You don't know the sheep usually think that that's another sheep sitting beside them. It's not always the case. Oh, but they were so nice. I
[01:11:52] Hear that all the time. They were so nice
[01:11:55] I'm yeah, they they are
[01:11:57] be hungry for God
[01:12:08] Be careful that you don't let your hunger get you eating out of the garbage can
[01:12:17] Understand this is what's happened to so many Christians have that they have the right desires and end up getting
[01:12:25] Fed and and getting it from the wrong places and this grieves me
[01:12:34] That I have to talk about
[01:12:36] You know, I saw one of the one of the new prophets now and this is all it took. He says a lot of good things
[01:12:47] a lot of good things, but I found out that his
[01:12:52] Mentors his elders are Jim Gall and Patricia King and you couldn't find two of the most kooky
[01:13:01] Whack jobs out there in the prophetic movement. I
[01:13:05] Written Patricia King had Bob Jones and Todd Bentley on her show. I still have the video offline
[01:13:11] I wrote about it in the Pulini church book I wrote
[01:13:14] But she has him on there talking about how to take people up to the third him and how just come on
[01:13:21] Come on. Just let me touch you. Let me tell you that's what a Hindu a Hindu guru
[01:13:26] Has a has a supernatural power called Shakti pop. I wish teacher was here. She'd be going. Yes
[01:13:33] I know what you go. Where you going with this? What is it to activate in you to awaken your third eye and
[01:13:42] Your spirit to be able to travel outside your body, which is astral projection, which are witchcraft things
[01:13:49] You can either learn how to do it by techniques of meditation and visualization
[01:13:54] Or you can have somebody who has already had that
[01:13:59] Kundalini awakening lay hands on you. That's called Shakti pop
[01:14:04] Okay
[01:14:05] Basically, they transfer it to you trigger it in you Bob Jones say come on take my hand
[01:14:10] I'll take y'all up with me to the third heaven at will
[01:14:15] Where's your faith boy? He said to Todd Bentley and Patricia Kings
[01:14:20] They're going to who and I see you know when I do this I see the blue flame and I'm like
[01:14:25] That's what new age you're seeing and then she I remember seeing her on one thing power Eagles power Eagles in one of her
[01:14:33] Services and I'm like what the heck's a power eagle is it some creature with the head of an eagle that comes down
[01:14:41] That's a griffin
[01:14:45] Sorry for y'all that live in Griffin, Georgia, but that's is your town's named after a demon, huh?
[01:14:53] He said don't be sorry
[01:14:56] I've been to Griffin I know
[01:15:00] Yeah, don't name your town after a demon if you want to have a decent town it kind of brings in an
[01:15:06] oppression there
[01:15:09] But I so and I've never seen none of these people repent over this
[01:15:15] None of these people you go to your che on
[01:15:20] I mean goodness people that associate with
[01:15:26] Kenneth Copeland
[01:15:29] I'm just I guess what I'm saying. I'm blown away
[01:15:33] That there is no almost no discernment in the body of Christ if you want to pray for a gift
[01:15:41] Pray for the discerning of spirits
[01:15:46] more than anything else
[01:15:50] Because you need to know what spirit is operating behind a church behind a pastor behind a prophet
[01:15:57] I don't care how big their ministry is and I don't care how many things they say that sounds good and right
[01:16:04] It can be fully
[01:16:07] contaminated by Satan's pollution and lead you into big big trouble
[01:16:16] Most of the time the first thing that's going to happen after you get polluted by one of these
[01:16:21] prophets or
[01:16:23] pastors or
[01:16:25] Whoever might come on lay hands on you as you're going to start having physical problems
[01:16:30] accidents a little injuries
[01:16:33] Then the sexual temptation is gonna start getting stronger almost be overwhelming
[01:16:37] If you got delivered before and you open this door sometimes it can become seven times worse for you
[01:16:44] And they know this you've got to understand the Satanist in witches who infiltrate churches know the principles of the kingdom of God
[01:16:52] And they know if you're ignorant and give them an opening
[01:16:56] They take it and they know it's going to bring harm to you and that's what they want to do
[01:17:01] And I'm not talking down to you because I have let some people
[01:17:11] In just in trying to be nice to folks
[01:17:15] I've let people lay hands on me
[01:17:18] I shouldn't have but see I keep a short account on the deliverance in
[01:17:23] If somebody prays for me and I feel something wrong or I go home and start and start stirring up
[01:17:29] I don't know. All right, and usually that's the first go. Well, let me put this person on this list right here
[01:17:37] And we'll see what do I always say babe?
[01:17:41] time will tell
[01:17:43] It always tells
[01:17:45] Like I said a wolf in sheep's clothing can only act like a sheep for so long
[01:17:49] They have to start doing wolf stuff at some point and we're gonna have more
[01:17:57] every ministry
[01:17:59] That is genuine or has sincere people in it and sincere leaders in it
[01:18:06] Satan is going to work overtime to send people into it to infiltrate it. I've had CIA agents come here
[01:18:19] we've had
[01:18:23] Full-blown Satanist full-blown false property. We had one lady come in trying to tell me
[01:18:28] I mean the audacity of some of these people
[01:18:33] trying to sow this spiritual division between me and my wife and then said that they had a letter for me and that only I could
[01:18:39] read it and
[01:18:40] Basically the letter from this woman who was had attended our church for a few weeks was that I needed to divorce my wife
[01:18:47] I'm like
[01:18:49] And I'm like, oh
[01:18:54] I'm thinking on what grounds psycho
[01:18:59] See they messed up. They don't realize, you know, we're a team
[01:19:02] But let me tell you this too. There's the other side of that corner and there's a lot of people who married the wrong person
[01:19:13] That's just a fact. I've had everything you could name come in this place
[01:19:20] Everything and not just this y'all y'all understand. It's not the first church that I pastor or started or planted. I
[01:19:28] planted one in Georgia in 1996
[01:19:31] Holy Spirit moved so powerfully to start that church. It was truly a
[01:19:37] Revival of God, I mean it God moved powerfully for several weeks. It was in Dublin, Georgia and I was a still young man
[01:19:47] I was
[01:19:48] Pastoring the church. I had Montgomery, Alabama. I had planted in 95. This was about
[01:19:55] 97 I think somewhere in that range time period 96 97 so just about a year after I planted this church in Montgomery
[01:20:04] I'm traveling over there. God's moving. There's a guy
[01:20:07] I know that's supposed to a friend of mine that's gonna be the pastor and I'm just gonna be the overseer basically, right?
[01:20:13] Because I'm not leaving the church in Montgomery at the time
[01:20:15] But I was gonna travel back and forth and help them as much as possible
[01:20:19] All right, just start another church over there
[01:20:22] And it was growing. I mean we started out first service 60 people then it went to a hundred people and then they had
[01:20:27] We had to get a building in downtown
[01:20:30] So one time I'm going over there and this is about I don't know several
[01:20:36] months into it
[01:20:38] The Lord speaks to me and he says I've given you apostolic authority over that church and I thought well, that's weird
[01:20:44] He would say that because I kind of already know that but why is the Lord telling me this as I'm because I'm driving
[01:20:50] four hours speaking in tongues and praying and in the spirit and the Holy Spirit says
[01:20:56] I've given you apostolic authority over this church
[01:20:58] So I get to the church and I sit down with the pastor and some of the staff there
[01:21:03] We have a little meeting and the first thing they tell me is
[01:21:07] We're going to go under
[01:21:09] Morningstar ministries Rick Joyner and Bob Jones mister now you have to understand
[01:21:13] I did not know anything about them at this time. I did not follow Rick Joyner
[01:21:20] I did not follow Bob Jones. I didn't I I knew nothing about them. All right
[01:21:25] This was just the beginning of me finding out. Okay, and when they told me this I said well, I said that's interesting
[01:21:33] I said because on the way here the Lord told me
[01:21:37] That he'd given me apostolic authority over this church
[01:21:40] And I said, I don't know and what was good was I could say I don't know anything about them
[01:21:46] I just know that that's not God's will
[01:21:50] But the reason they wanted to go up under that because they had a big name
[01:21:54] And this is another thing in the church. Well, we got to have big name
[01:21:58] We we we have an idol of celebrity worship in the church. I've seen it
[01:22:05] No, no, no, no, no
[01:22:08] Don't ever do that
[01:22:09] But I just told them so guess what so they and you know, I just kind of you know
[01:22:13] I'm not gonna force anything. I decide I just backed away
[01:22:17] Because you know when you decide to get on the train wreck. I'm gonna back away from the train
[01:22:23] All right, it's your it's your choice. I'm not gonna force anything on you
[01:22:28] So I just go back to Montgomery and let them do their thing. Well, guess what? They start regularly going down
[01:22:34] two Morningstar ministries over there and
[01:22:37] Fort Mills
[01:22:39] And they start hanging out with Bob Jones and getting hands laid on them. And and what was so sad is is that?
[01:22:47] Church had a group of young people that were you know
[01:22:51] 18 19 20 21 years old that were getting on fire for Jesus and they started going getting hands laid on them by these
[01:23:00] Kundalini prophets and they all start going goofy. They all start getting weird
[01:23:08] They just basically walked around some of them like they were in a trance
[01:23:15] It was so demonic it destroyed that church and the pastor my friend the pastor that I put in charge of that church
[01:23:23] Ended up having an affair with his assistant and that further destroyed it the church and a church
[01:23:31] That was birthed in the fire of a Holy Spirit revival was destroyed
[01:23:36] Because of who they decided to associate with who they let lay hands on them who they let prophesy over them
[01:23:42] And it was destroyed. So this is not a game and some of those people
[01:23:52] Some of those people got cancer and died
[01:23:55] Remember, what did he say if you don't get rid of this deal with this?
[01:24:01] You keep committing adultery with this false prophet meaning association with this prophet
[01:24:08] prophetess I'm going to throw you into a sickbed and
[01:24:17] Some of your children are going to die
[01:24:22] Judgment will be upon it. This is not a game. I have seen this for years
[01:24:32] I've seen people get sick and die. I mean we had
[01:24:38] Many of you know I was married before and some of that that went down
[01:24:44] beforehand
[01:24:45] Was because of this stuff
[01:24:53] Remember when my ex-wife was pregnant with my first daughter Caitlin and
[01:25:01] This woman came in and laid hands on her when she's about seven months pregnant
[01:25:06] I wouldn't let anybody lay hands on she actually snuck up behind
[01:25:09] her during prayer time
[01:25:12] at church and laid hands on her and I didn't see it cuz I had my head bowed praying and
[01:25:20] But somebody in the back row saw it and told me later, but that evening
[01:25:24] My ex-wife starts having premature labor at seven months. I mean
[01:25:30] Bleeding the whole nine yards like oh crap. Here we go and I'm sitting there going what is going on Lord?
[01:25:37] And I really I said to the Lord I said, okay the curse without a cause doesn't come what's the cause Lord?
[01:25:44] And about the time I said that prayed that the phone ring and the person who was sitting in the back row that saw it
[01:25:51] Said hey, I saw this person that I knew was a witch
[01:25:55] That was coming to my church at the time lay hands on her. Oh really? So I go
[01:26:01] To my ex-wife. I lay hands on her and I say in the name of Jesus
[01:26:06] I bind the demons that came in to her through the laying on the hands of this person
[01:26:11] We'll call her
[01:26:14] Devil woman
[01:26:15] And I bind the name of the demons that came in the demons of death the demons of destruction the demons of witchcraft
[01:26:24] divination I bind these demons anything
[01:26:27] transferred from this which
[01:26:29] Here leave now in Jesus name and I went through I prayed through number of things and I asked the Lord to close the doorway
[01:26:37] Guess what it all stopped
[01:26:42] Caitlin was born
[01:26:44] Nine months and a few days
[01:26:48] perfectly healthy seven pounds 14 ounces and
[01:26:53] in four hours
[01:26:57] Yeah
[01:27:00] So I've seen this stuff
[01:27:02] I've been given things too by witches. I mean when I was running for governor. I had some of the good old boys
[01:27:11] Up in a certain town in a certain County
[01:27:15] slide me
[01:27:17] Night's Templar pin
[01:27:21] Mmm, and what do you think they were saying to me through that? They wanted to see if I joined the club
[01:27:26] The Freemason Club and they were letting me know too that they were deeper
[01:27:33] than just Freemasons
[01:27:35] Because the Knights Templar early the beginning of it all and they were deep into occultism
[01:27:41] So these were guys telling me we know
[01:27:45] That Lucifer is our God. Do you want to join the club and we'll help you
[01:27:50] You know become governor
[01:27:52] This is what they do
[01:27:54] There's a lot of this in the state of Alabama. It's worse than you think
[01:27:58] And you know what I did. I took the little Knights Templar pin and we got going down the road
[01:28:08] Some somebody's pastor out there somewhere
[01:28:12] We took a picture of it first, but it's somebody's pastor out there
[01:28:16] And of course, you know, I didn't join the good old boys club because Freemasonry is another thing
[01:28:24] A lot of the a lot of your deacons in churches are Freemasons and some of them are at levels
[01:28:30] They don't understand that it's demonic and there have opened doors to Satan
[01:28:33] But the ones that are higher up know it's Lucifer there sir
[01:28:36] They're worshiping and serving and making oaths to so this is the battle that we are in
[01:28:44] And we need to pray more than we've ever prayed because Jesus warned in the last days
[01:28:50] What he said he warned in Matthew 24 of deception. He said four times
[01:28:57] He said they're going to do great signs and wonders get ready
[01:29:01] for ministers these some of these mega church ministries and the
[01:29:06] Pope and the Roman Catholic Church to get ready for them to start doing great miracles get ready to see
[01:29:13] Healings and miracles and signs in the heavens these people the Bible says the false prophet that will work with antichrist
[01:29:19] Will call down fire from heaven like Elijah did and there's Christians that are going to go. Oh
[01:29:26] Look at that. That's the power of God
[01:29:30] There's a lot of people right now a lot of influencers converting to the Roman Catholic Church
[01:29:36] What do you think that's about?
[01:29:42] Yeah, marky mark
[01:29:44] Wahlberg
[01:29:46] Some of y'all ain't old enough to know who marky marky is I am I knew I knew about him when he was marky mark
[01:29:55] mark Wahlberg Rumi of
[01:29:58] The chosen all of that is designed to lead people back to Rome
[01:30:03] And Roman Catholicism folks is a complete system of
[01:30:10] idolatry and satanic occultism
[01:30:12] I'm sorry, but it is the moment they start praying to marry the doors open to demon spirits
[01:30:19] Because that's idolatry the moment they start bound down before statues are talking to saints that are dead
[01:30:27] like Rumi talking to Padre Pio
[01:30:30] the moment you do that you're opening doors to demons and
[01:30:34] That's why the Lord said about mystery Babylon. It's not America
[01:30:39] It's the Roman Catholic Church that doctrine is to say that mystery Babylon is America
[01:30:45] Was started by Rome to deflect from the obvious truth
[01:30:49] That Rome is mystery Babylon and what does he say God say to her about that come out of her my people
[01:30:57] Meaning I know there are Christians within the Roman Catholic Church that are born again. Love Jesus their hearts in the right place
[01:31:03] But they are trapped by tradition or whatever seducing but they're trapped in a system of idolatry and demonic power
[01:31:11] that whole stigmata thing
[01:31:13] That's demonic y'all those apparitions of Mary and Mary giving prophecies to little children. That's all the demon posing is Mary
[01:31:21] It's all deception
[01:31:22] But think about it Jesus said that there's going to be such great deceptions that it might get even the very elect
[01:31:31] among us
[01:31:32] That means it's got to be pretty good
[01:31:35] To get those who are the very very elect of God
[01:31:43] Get ready
[01:31:45] for a wave of
[01:31:48] All kind of supernatural things going on you are going to have to be discerning
[01:31:54] What is of God and what is not and who is of God and who is not?
[01:31:58] Let me show you some let's go to one more pass. I'm gonna quit. Actually. I think it's about might be my second
[01:32:09] Malachi chapter 3 and I'm not gonna be talking about tithing
[01:32:14] I believe New Testament giving is far more than tight because it all belongs to the Lord. Amen
[01:32:25] And we do what he says to do but Malachi chapter 3. I've always loved this
[01:32:31] Let's see. Where do I want to start? I guess we'll go down
[01:32:45] He was talking to these people and he said let's go to verse 13. He said your words have been stout against me
[01:32:52] the Lord says
[01:32:54] Yet you say what have we spoken so much against the you have said it is vain to serve God
[01:33:00] And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts
[01:33:06] And now we call the proud happy and yay
[01:33:09] They that work wickedness are set up yay, and they that tempt God are even delivered and I've you know
[01:33:16] We're going we're actually kind of living in a time like this where it seems like the wicked are
[01:33:21] prospering and being set up and
[01:33:24] And just everything's working for them and it does appear that way, but the Lord says then I'm gonna say then
[01:33:31] they that feared the Lord
[01:33:33] Spake often one to another and the Lord hearkened and heard it and
[01:33:39] a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name and
[01:33:45] They shall be mine sayeth the Lord of hosts in the day when I make up my jewels and I will spare them as
[01:33:51] a man spare with his own son that serve with him then
[01:33:55] They shall then shall ye return and discern
[01:34:00] Between the righteous and the wicked between him that serveth God and him that serve with him not
[01:34:08] So he says these people that really love God with all their heart and they talk to one another regularly the fellowship
[01:34:16] But they're talking about these things the deeper things of God
[01:34:21] You know how a lot of times we figure out when there's a deceiver among us
[01:34:25] it's usually God reveal starts revealing it to
[01:34:29] different aspects of it and then all of a sudden as the Bible says
[01:34:35] Me the leader here all the little birds end up coming right here. I find out about everything
[01:34:41] Y'all y'all I find out stuff y'all have no idea. I know about
[01:34:47] No idea
[01:34:48] And little birds carry it in I mean it I marvel sometimes how I find out stuff
[01:34:57] I find out stuff sometimes about somebody in this church from somebody that lives
[01:35:02] All the way across the other side of the country. It's just weird how it happens sometimes
[01:35:06] But we'll get together and we're all talking about again. What is God doing? What's God saying? What's what's happening?
[01:35:13] You know and we'll start talking about well this person. I had a dream about this
[01:35:17] No, really. Okay, that's interesting because especially when it's I know the Lord starting to show me something about somebody and then somebody walks up to
[01:35:25] Me says the Lord showed me this I had this and they don't even know it's connected
[01:35:29] And then another person's like I just didn't feel I felt something wrong
[01:35:34] And then or somebody will say oh this person's that I'm got a question mark about oh
[01:35:39] They said this in this meeting sounded weird to me, and I wasn't there
[01:35:42] Oh really and then it just builds upon it and tell there's enough evidence to go, okay
[01:35:48] I got to go talk to this person or sometimes I got to shut it down
[01:35:53] Sometimes I got to send it packing
[01:35:58] But this is why I tell people so important
[01:36:02] Don't forsake the assembling of yourselves together
[01:36:05] Your time in church your time in fellowship after church your time in bible studies your time with your brothers and sisters getting together doing things
[01:36:14] When you're you you do that to sit around and talk about the Lord and to love on him and to pray
[01:36:19] And to fellowship with one another God has start given discernment of who is truly serving the Lord
[01:36:25] And who is not?
[01:36:28] Amen
[01:36:29] Let's stand
[01:36:37] And for that matter, let me just say this i'm not trying to sell books. I could care less about selling books
[01:36:42] But a lot of what I talked about this morning a lot of it
[01:36:47] Is in the polluted church from Rome to Kansas City. I warned about mike bickel long before it all came out
[01:36:55] so
[01:36:56] You can get that book. I encourage you
[01:36:59] I would encourage you out of all the four books i've written that that one's the one you need to read the most to
[01:37:05] Be able to help you navigate this minefield because now a lot of the people that I talk about in the book are gone
[01:37:12] or exposed now
[01:37:15] But it will give you an idea when some of these new ones pop up
[01:37:19] If you start hearing the same type things like this whole manifest sons of god doctrine and all that
[01:37:25] uh, the the joe joel's army or the
[01:37:29] What was the other thing they called it?
[01:37:32] The seven well not that but they're talking about the the super race of christians coming up
[01:37:38] Yeah
[01:37:40] Yeah, the super the 35 super apostles are coming
[01:37:44] And all that stuff and oh the new breed that's another thing they called it all that false doctrine crap came from a false prophet named
[01:37:51] William branham
[01:37:53] William branham was the mentor of paul kane paul kane bob jones bob jones and paul kane rick joiner
[01:37:59] And you can just follow the line of succession
[01:38:03] They pass them demons down
[01:38:05] And I can just tell you this will boldly tell you this rick joiner joining the knights of malta
[01:38:09] The knights of malta is a roman catholic military order
[01:38:14] when I saw him say that
[01:38:17] john paul the second
[01:38:19] was the
[01:38:20] best christian leader of our time
[01:38:23] When I see him join the knights of malta a roman catholic military organization
[01:38:30] and I realize
[01:38:32] that he has
[01:38:33] Now has control and influence over a great portion of the church world. I knew immediately that he was a jesuit
[01:38:41] Then I looked at the members at the time. This is your all. This is in the book
[01:38:45] But I remembered I started looking to the board members on his thing called the oak initiative
[01:38:51] One of them was the former soviet union ambassador to the u.n
[01:38:57] another one
[01:38:58] Holds basically he has a group very much like the world economic forum that meet on an island
[01:39:06] huh
[01:39:07] Um, there's some other folks that met on island too
[01:39:12] But these people I found are loyal
[01:39:15] To the united nations and to the roman catholic church
[01:39:18] Why would you have these people on your board?
[01:39:23] I believe he's a Jesuit
[01:39:25] And I believe he's deceived
[01:39:27] millions of christians over the years
[01:39:29] And anybody connected to him that's either ignorant as the day is long with no discernment or they're part of it
[01:39:35] one of the two
[01:39:37] So that was free. That was another that was the tip for the evening, right? All right
[01:39:43] Let's pray father in heaven. I pray
[01:39:46] For my brothers and sisters whether they're here in this room or watching or will watch in the future
[01:39:52] some point
[01:39:53] That they will begin to discern these wolves out here these false prophets and teachers these
[01:39:59] Witches some knowingly witchcraft in witchcraft and some operating in it without knowing
[01:40:06] Is such a minefield out here lord. It's just everywhere. We look it's all around us
[01:40:13] You warned us lord. Jesus. There would be great deception in the end. There'd be
[01:40:17] great signs and wonders that were demonic and satanic miracles and signs and
[01:40:22] things in even in the heavens
[01:40:25] that would deceive
[01:40:26] the world
[01:40:29] And so lord, we want the real thing from you
[01:40:32] And we want to know when it's a counterfeit miracle or someone operating
[01:40:37] in a familiar spirit or spirit of divination and
[01:40:40] Claiming to be the holy spirit. We want to know and lord we have to know that
[01:40:45] from you
[01:40:47] Your holy spirit lord. Jesus has to show us and we ask you for the discernment and the discerning of spirits gift and
[01:40:55] Lord to pick up on these things and discern them and not to ignore
[01:40:59] your warnings
[01:41:03] that you give us
[01:41:07] because lord is
[01:41:10] Me, I pray lord help me help my wife help
[01:41:14] pastor troy and pastor d help
[01:41:17] leaders in the body of christ
[01:41:22] Not only feed the sheep
[01:41:24] And lambs, but protect the sheep and lamb
[01:41:28] And I pray this in jesus name
[01:41:31] Amen. Amen. All right. I kept you long enough
