0:02
Speaker 1: Wanting family. Good morning, God, blessed you, God blessed you. Welcome.
0:05
Speaker 1: It's Friday, so you already know authentic imitationlogy. This is
0:09
Speaker 1: episode one hundred and thirteen. I think, yeah, one hundred
0:13
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Wow, okay, we're here, Amen, and were keeping
0:16
Speaker 1: it moving every Friday. Authentic imitationology. What does that mean?
0:21
Speaker 1: It means that we're trying to imitate the most successful
0:24
Speaker 1: person who has ever lived on our planet, the Lord
0:28
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ himself. Amen. And he revealed himself in the
0:31
Speaker 1: form of a man named Jesus the Christ. Amen. And
0:36
Speaker 1: we're here because of him. We could talk about this.
0:40
Speaker 1: It's not because of what I'm going to talk about.
0:42
Speaker 1: It's because of what he already has done. And he
0:45
Speaker 1: warns his disciples. And last time I checked, if you're
0:47
Speaker 1: born again, you're not only a child of God, you're
0:50
Speaker 1: a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Jesus warns
0:54
Speaker 1: his disciples about the presence are false prophets and teachers.
1:00
Speaker 1: False prophets and teachers. That's what we're gonna be talking
1:05
Speaker 1: about today in the morning, Devo. We'll be light on
1:07
Speaker 1: it though, because this is not a full blown Bible study.
1:11
Speaker 1: This is a devotion. We're gonna get into a scriptures
1:15
Speaker 1: to some Scriptures Matthew, chapter seven, verses fifteen to twenty,
1:20
Speaker 1: and we're gonna hear the quote of Jesus. I have
1:23
Speaker 1: this little book it's always at my studios, called the
1:25
Speaker 1: Jesus Quotables. The Quotable Jesus actually is called the Quotable Jesus.
1:31
Speaker 1: And believe it or not, I got these years ago
1:33
Speaker 1: at a dollar tree a man. It was one dollar
1:36
Speaker 1: and I looked at it. I said, well, it's only
1:38
Speaker 1: a dollar, right, let me see. And it was one
1:41
Speaker 1: of the best investments I ever made. It's all the
1:44
Speaker 1: quotes of the Lord Jesus all written in the book.
1:48
Speaker 1: So at anytime then I need to hear from the
1:51
Speaker 1: Lord a man, a direct quote from him. I go
1:54
Speaker 1: to his little book here a Man, and it saves
1:56
Speaker 1: me a lot of time. I don't have to search
1:59
Speaker 1: the scriptures, Amen for his quotes. The Quotable Jesus book. Amen.
2:05
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still in print. I don't
2:07
Speaker 1: know who printed it, Amen, but it was a good idea.
2:09
Speaker 1: It helps me out a lot when I want to
2:11
Speaker 1: hear a direct quote from the Lord. Amen, So Matthew,
2:14
Speaker 1: Chapter seven, verses fifteen to twenty. Today in the morning devo,
2:18
Speaker 1: authentic commentation, knowlogy, and we're going for it. Man. If
2:22
Speaker 1: you have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, or anything
2:27
Speaker 1: along those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it on
2:30
Speaker 1: a live chat. Please pray for our sisters. Sister Joanne, Amen,
2:33
Speaker 1: that shows up all these morning DeVos faithfully. Amen. She
2:38
Speaker 1: had death in her family. I believe it was her sister.
2:41
Speaker 1: We're praying comfort and peace over her life and over
2:44
Speaker 1: her family as well. I know it's hard to lose
2:46
Speaker 1: the love of one. Amen. God is faithful man. He
2:50
Speaker 1: really shows up in those times of difficulty when we
2:54
Speaker 1: lose someone. Amen. God is there. But today false prophets
2:58
Speaker 1: and teachers we being warmed learned about these people that
3:02
Speaker 1: are up in our churches, that are up in our communities,
3:05
Speaker 1: that are up in ministries worldwide doing their things supposedly. Amen.
3:11
Speaker 1: And people are following after these false prophets. And they're
3:14
Speaker 1: following after these teachers because of various reasons. But like
3:19
Speaker 1: I said, I can't get too deep in it. And men,
3:22
Speaker 1: but God wants to share this warning with us. Amen.
3:25
Speaker 1: By way of the Lord Jesus as a quote. But
3:28
Speaker 1: Jesus spoke out about this subject. Amen, So let's pray first.
3:33
Speaker 1: After we pray, we shad us out for like sixty seconds,
3:36
Speaker 1: and then on the other side of those sixty seconds,
3:37
Speaker 1: we'll get right into today's morning. Devo. Father, Thank you,
3:41
Speaker 1: Lord God, that we have eyes to see and we
3:44
Speaker 1: have a discerning heart. We could discern what's real and
3:47
Speaker 1: what's faith because we know you are true, Lord God,
3:50
Speaker 1: you are alive, you are living, you are active. Your
3:53
Speaker 1: word is amazingly true, amazingly accurate, amazingly relevant to our
3:58
Speaker 1: times every single day or doing a new thing, and
4:01
Speaker 1: our hearts and our minds. And I thank you, Lord
4:03
Speaker 1: God for doing that. Thank you for revealing yourself to
4:06
Speaker 1: me and to so many millions of others of people
4:09
Speaker 1: that was seeking truth and we found you. Thank you,
4:13
Speaker 1: Lor God for transforming, renewing, restoring and redeeming us. Thank you,
4:17
Speaker 1: Lord God for protecting and guiding us. I pray, Love God,
4:20
Speaker 1: help to my body, strength to my bones, and help
4:22
Speaker 1: to every single person that's watching and listening right now,
4:25
Speaker 1: strength to their bones and health to their body as well.
4:28
Speaker 1: I pray Lord God, a hedge of protection over myself,
4:31
Speaker 1: my family, my wife, our children, our grandchildren, and every
4:34
Speaker 1: single person that's connecting now who will connect later, representing
4:38
Speaker 1: them and their families as well. I protect that I
4:41
Speaker 1: pray a hedge of protection over them as well. Lo God,
4:43
Speaker 1: that you would guide us and guard us, and that
4:45
Speaker 1: you would steer us away from these false prophets and
4:49
Speaker 1: false teachers. Lo God, and that you would show us
4:52
Speaker 1: how to navigate through that, and how to warn others
4:56
Speaker 1: by way of your word and by your spirit. I
4:59
Speaker 1: pray Log, that we will not be in those circles,
5:02
Speaker 1: that we will not find ourselves just caving in to
5:05
Speaker 1: the pressures of trends and the pressures of false prophets
5:11
Speaker 1: and false teachers, and the pressure of just going along
5:14
Speaker 1: and falling into line in some kind of a system
5:17
Speaker 1: that seems to be powerful, but that lacks the power
5:20
Speaker 1: of God and the anoying thing of God. So I
5:23
Speaker 1: speak life over us everything that concerns life. I speak
5:27
Speaker 1: life over and I speak death to those things that
5:29
Speaker 1: try to distract, destroy, kill, and steal from us. And
5:34
Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, that you would set forth your
5:35
Speaker 1: archming angels and ministering angels to nihilate the tactics of
5:39
Speaker 1: the enemy. I pray it's by faith, knowing that you
5:41
Speaker 1: hear these prayers, you answer them according to every single
5:44
Speaker 1: individual that's asking right now in Jesus Holy name, I
5:48
Speaker 1: pray it is by faith. And those who agree, we
5:50
Speaker 1: say amen to the Amen. All right, help me share
5:53
Speaker 1: this out sixty seconds. Help me shut this out, and
5:56
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get right into it. I'll
5:58
Speaker 1: be read back.
6:13
Speaker 2: St st. St.
7:37
Speaker 1: Man. Amen, we're back, So let's go for it. False
7:41
Speaker 1: prophets and teachers. Wow, that's a little heavy for a
7:44
Speaker 1: morning devotion, right, But God warns us. He wants us
7:48
Speaker 1: so many different ways, but primarily from what I know
7:51
Speaker 1: about the Lord. Amen. He'll warn us by way of word.
7:54
Speaker 1: He'll speak this out. He'll let us know, Hey, you're
7:58
Speaker 1: going in the wrong direction. Hey, don't that We have
8:00
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, the God's positioning system living inside of us,
8:06
Speaker 1: and he'll tell us what to be careful for about.
8:11
Speaker 1: And one of the things he warns us about, Amen,
8:14
Speaker 1: is several mornings, we'll get to that. False prophets and teachers. Amen.
8:21
Speaker 1: I never got on that list, I don't think so.
8:23
Speaker 1: I mean, if people call me a false prophet or
8:26
Speaker 1: a false teacher. I never knew. I don't think I
8:29
Speaker 1: arrived yet, Amen, to get on those lists. But a
8:33
Speaker 1: lot of people on that list. It's sad to see
8:36
Speaker 1: people one day when they're caught in this way of living.
8:42
Speaker 1: Some may be falsely accused of this, but others it's
8:48
Speaker 1: plain to see. Amen. But Jesus warns us about this,
8:51
Speaker 1: So let's go straight to get myself in trouble. Amen.
8:54
Speaker 1: Believe when Jesus spoke to this out, he already knew
8:57
Speaker 1: who he was talking about. Amen. But I don't think
9:03
Speaker 1: we need to know right. We need to know who
9:06
Speaker 1: these people are and stay away from them, Amen, But
9:10
Speaker 1: we don't need to call them out. And now I
9:12
Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, if necessary, we will, Amen.
9:16
Speaker 1: I will. If necessary, it's if it hits home or
9:21
Speaker 1: I see it happening in front of me, like in
9:23
Speaker 1: real time, I'll call it out. But let's let the
9:27
Speaker 1: lawd speak on this. But the one God bless you, bro,
9:29
Speaker 1: it's good to see you on the one in Devo. Amen.
9:31
Speaker 1: It's good to see you, my bro. So let's go
9:33
Speaker 1: for it before I get into trouble. I was gonna
9:35
Speaker 1: say a couple of things. But I'll just leave that
9:37
Speaker 1: right there. Amen. I don't want to Yeah, I don't
9:42
Speaker 1: want to start that. Amen. So authentic imitationology, and this
9:48
Speaker 1: one is a heavy duty one. False profits and teachers,
9:52
Speaker 1: be careful. Here's what the Lord says, Matthew, Chapter seven,
9:56
Speaker 1: verses fifteen to twenty. The lawyer says, beware of false prophets.
10:01
Speaker 1: That's a warning. Ladies and gentlemen, beware who come to
10:06
Speaker 1: you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves. Now, Howard,
10:12
Speaker 1: we know what's inside of a man or inside of
10:15
Speaker 1: a woman's heart. We don't, not really. But here's the
10:19
Speaker 1: indicator that I use of what's in someone's heart by
10:23
Speaker 1: what they say. Because the Bible is clear. The Bible says,
10:27
Speaker 1: out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
10:32
Speaker 1: So whatever you have in your heart that's really in
10:35
Speaker 1: control will come out your mouth. So here's a hint.
10:41
Speaker 1: If you curse and you're born again, he's still cursing.
10:44
Speaker 1: Out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak. Man.
10:49
Speaker 1: So we are always telling on ourselves about how we speak.
10:52
Speaker 1: Sister Joanne, I see you, good morning, my sister, and
10:55
Speaker 1: my friend's good to see you on the morning, Devo
11:01
Speaker 1: verse sixteen. Get back into it. If I get in trouble,
11:06
Speaker 1: you will fully recognize them by their fruits. Right, First,
11:12
Speaker 1: you'll recognize them by how they dress as sheep. But
11:15
Speaker 1: then you'll recognize them by their fruits. And here's a
11:19
Speaker 1: couple of questions from the Lord. He says, do people
11:23
Speaker 1: pick grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? Right? No?
11:31
Speaker 1: Even so, every healthy sound tree bears good fruit worthy
11:38
Speaker 1: of admiration, but the sickly, decaying, worthless tree bears bad,
11:46
Speaker 1: worthless fruit verse eighteen. A good, healthy tree cannot bear
11:55
Speaker 1: bad worthless fruit. Makes sense, right. If it's a good tree,
11:59
Speaker 1: it's gonna have good fruit. If it's a bad tree,
12:01
Speaker 1: it's going to have bad fruit. Nor can a bad
12:05
Speaker 1: diseased tree bear excellent fruit worthy of admiration Verse nineteen.
12:13
Speaker 1: Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut
12:17
Speaker 1: down and cast into the fire. And I believe God
12:21
Speaker 1: is going to be doing the cut down and the
12:24
Speaker 1: casting into the fire. Therefore, you will fully know them
12:28
Speaker 1: by their fruits. Now this is why, amen, I believe
12:34
Speaker 1: we get this all crazy on YouTube and on social
12:39
Speaker 1: media platforms, and we start just calling things out right.
12:43
Speaker 1: I think we don't take this warning at face value
12:47
Speaker 1: for what it really is, or we're supposed to be
12:50
Speaker 1: patient and wait for the fruit of these false prophets
12:54
Speaker 1: and teachers. It'll eventually come out. You cannot hide from God, right.
13:01
Speaker 1: God will expose you if you're acting crazy. Hey, man,
13:05
Speaker 1: If I'm acting crazy and I'm over here prophilying on
13:08
Speaker 1: my morning devo on the Bible studies that I do,
13:11
Speaker 1: or on a radio station on the Kingdom Call on
13:13
Speaker 1: Sundays and I'm profitlying, and man, I'm gonna be exposed quick.
13:17
Speaker 1: People are gonna recognize that and say, what's going on
13:19
Speaker 1: with Sam? He usually doesn't do that, right, So we're
13:23
Speaker 1: gonna get called out. The Lord will call us out
13:27
Speaker 1: and listen. I don't know what's more how you call it.
13:34
Speaker 1: What's more dangerous to be called out by God himself
13:37
Speaker 1: or to be called out by the people of God.
13:40
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think if God has to situation
13:45
Speaker 1: concerning this himself, aymen, if he has to show up himself,
13:48
Speaker 1: I think it's curtains for those people, for that person,
13:52
Speaker 1: ay man. And there's a plain flying real law over
13:56
Speaker 1: my house that was really loud, Amen, and we pray
14:02
Speaker 1: Lord God about these planes falling out the sky, these
14:05
Speaker 1: accidents with air traffic control and all that stuff. I
14:08
Speaker 1: pray Lord God that you would wake up the eyes
14:11
Speaker 1: of those air control people and all that stuff. And
14:14
Speaker 1: Jesus Holy Name, Amen, those passengers that just pass a
14:18
Speaker 1: peace over their hearts and life as well. Now is
14:21
Speaker 1: that a false prophecy? Is that profit line? No? I
14:23
Speaker 1: just pray, amen, function by Holy Spirit to pray for
14:27
Speaker 1: those passengers on that low flying plane that flew right
14:30
Speaker 1: over the roof of my studio. Amen. So one says,
14:36
Speaker 1: I guess getting called out by God. Yeah, that's me. Yeah,
14:40
Speaker 1: if God has to intervene. In other words, that if
14:44
Speaker 1: I agree with you want if people are telling you, hey,
14:49
Speaker 1: you need to chill out, or hey, you know you
14:51
Speaker 1: might want to look at that teaching or that preaching again,
14:54
Speaker 1: or hey, brother or sister, that prophecies that came out,
15:00
Speaker 1: and we say, nah, I don't care. You know that's
15:02
Speaker 1: what the Lord told me. Then Lord the Lord shows
15:04
Speaker 1: up and intervenes. I think it's gonna be some different
15:08
Speaker 1: right now. Have I seen it with my own eyes
15:10
Speaker 1: that people have prophesied, prophesied healings from the polepits and
15:15
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and then it's the people or the
15:17
Speaker 1: person that they prophesied over. It's still sick. I've seen that, Amen.
15:23
Speaker 1: But again that's between them and the Lord. And if
15:29
Speaker 1: good fruit comes from a prophecy, of good food comes
15:32
Speaker 1: from a teaching, whether it's from me or somebody that
15:35
Speaker 1: you follow, or anything like that, Amen, recognize that, honored that,
15:40
Speaker 1: because it's from the Lord and it's from a good place.
15:43
Speaker 1: But if it's the opposite, bad fruit comes out of
15:46
Speaker 1: those prophets, and bad fruits comes out of those teachers,
15:50
Speaker 1: then this is the beware, the warning, Amen, that Jesus
15:54
Speaker 1: spoke about. They dressed the right way, they look the
15:58
Speaker 1: right way, they talk the right way. Men, they seem
16:00
Speaker 1: to be annoyed and appointed, But you would be disappointed
16:04
Speaker 1: by their annoying thing because the fruit that they're gonna
16:08
Speaker 1: bear is not gonna be good. It's not gonna be
16:11
Speaker 1: good for you, it's not gonna be good for your family,
16:12
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be good for your church, it's not
16:14
Speaker 1: gonna be good for nobody. But they're gonna be what
16:18
Speaker 1: you call it excelling, right, They're gonna keep it moving unfortunately,
16:27
Speaker 1: because they got people convinced that they are the go
16:31
Speaker 1: to person or to go to people. So Jesus warned
16:35
Speaker 1: his disciples. He's warning us, amen, about a lot of matters,
16:41
Speaker 1: several matters. But today I wanted to focus on the
16:45
Speaker 1: warnings of the presence of false prophets and teachers who
16:49
Speaker 1: would try to lead people on the wrong path, because
16:54
Speaker 1: that's basically what they're doing. They say, Hey, I know
16:57
Speaker 1: they're saying they're saying this, Hey, I know Jesus to
17:00
Speaker 1: teach about Jesus. Jesus gives me word prophecy. They sometimes
17:05
Speaker 1: they go as far as telling people that God gives
17:08
Speaker 1: them specific revelation that nobody else gets. When you hear that,
17:12
Speaker 1: you need to run. Listen. We all got the same scriptures,
17:16
Speaker 1: and God would reveal scriptures to our lives, to our hearts. Amen.
17:21
Speaker 1: Will it take me time to get to some places
17:23
Speaker 1: where other preachers are absolutely same with you? You might
17:27
Speaker 1: be further along than me in certain scriptures, I might
17:30
Speaker 1: be further along than you, and vice versa. Amen. But
17:33
Speaker 1: God speaks by way of his word, by way of
17:35
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, leading us into all truth. So if I
17:38
Speaker 1: jumped up and said listen. Nobody else got this revelation.
17:42
Speaker 1: I have the secret to this and a secret to that.
17:45
Speaker 1: Be careful. I would even say, run and just keep
17:50
Speaker 1: your distance and watch from a distance if you want
17:52
Speaker 1: to keep on watching. There was a woman minister I'm
17:56
Speaker 1: not gonna mention her name that I was like, let
18:01
Speaker 1: me follow this minister. Our ministry was blowing up like tremendous.
18:05
Speaker 1: It's still blowing up. And I did it for like
18:09
Speaker 1: six months to a year, and then I started looking
18:12
Speaker 1: at I'd be like, whoa, that doesn't seem right A
18:16
Speaker 1: man and I would go to scriptures and then it
18:18
Speaker 1: came out. I didn't expose it. It was she was
18:21
Speaker 1: being exposed that she was moving and her ministry is
18:24
Speaker 1: still growing, still growing, see that. But she was one
18:28
Speaker 1: of the people that the Love was warning us about
18:31
Speaker 1: in this scripture, a false prophet, false teacher. And they
18:37
Speaker 1: looked apart. Man. I was like, let me see, because
18:41
Speaker 1: it'll growth of the ministry. I was like, wow, this
18:44
Speaker 1: person came out of nowhere and all of a sudden,
18:47
Speaker 1: now they got when they were going to Instagram lives,
18:49
Speaker 1: when they were going to YouTube lives, when they were
18:51
Speaker 1: going to Facebook lives. It went from maybe ten fifteen
18:56
Speaker 1: twenty people in the beginning to ten to fifteen thousand
19:00
Speaker 1: people now maybe even more than that, and it's still growing.
19:06
Speaker 1: And the scary thing about it is that it's exposed.
19:09
Speaker 1: She's exposed. She's been exposed, and she goes on her
19:12
Speaker 1: lives now defending herself and saying, well, all those people
19:15
Speaker 1: are haters. God to be careful with that man. So
19:19
Speaker 1: Jesus warrns his disciples about the presence they're still here,
19:24
Speaker 1: the presence of false prophets and teachers who try to
19:29
Speaker 1: lead people in a different direction. Normally, what they try
19:33
Speaker 1: to do is lead them to lead people to themselves,
19:37
Speaker 1: not to the Lord. They'll use the Lord, they'll use
19:40
Speaker 1: his word, they'll uses quotes, they'll use supposedly signs, wonders,
19:45
Speaker 1: miracles that they're performing, they'll use delivering services. Casting demons out.
19:50
Speaker 1: As if we can't do that, we could do that.
19:54
Speaker 1: If you need to cast a demon out, that should
19:56
Speaker 1: be really, in my humble opinion, that should be really,
20:00
Speaker 1: don't fight and struggle between the name of Jesus, come out.
20:05
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, I cast you out. It
20:08
Speaker 1: should be really no struggle. That demon has to go.
20:14
Speaker 1: And on top of that, I don't think we have
20:17
Speaker 1: to say what your asks the demon? What's your name?
20:19
Speaker 1: What are you doing there? Blah blah blah blah. That
20:22
Speaker 1: might be a little extra, and my humble opinion, it
20:25
Speaker 1: might be a little showy, and my humble opinion, because
20:28
Speaker 1: how I see the Lord casting out demons, how I
20:30
Speaker 1: see the disciples casting out demons? Amen is really not
20:35
Speaker 1: like that. But to each his own if you want
20:38
Speaker 1: to find out information about aligned demon, because they get
20:42
Speaker 1: a lot of you. Anyway, I don't know why people
20:44
Speaker 1: think they're telling the truth. If they've been lying since
20:46
Speaker 1: the beginning, and they're following the Father of lies, why
20:49
Speaker 1: would they tell me or you the truth like a
20:52
Speaker 1: quick story? And I know I'm running out of time.
20:55
Speaker 1: Before I was born again, we used to mess around
20:57
Speaker 1: with them Wiji boys. And one time we messing around
20:59
Speaker 1: with the Ouiji board and the things started moving. Nobody
21:03
Speaker 1: was moving that that thing that goes over the letters.
21:06
Speaker 1: We felt in moving over the board. Let it go
21:09
Speaker 1: kept on moving. We started asking it questions and it
21:12
Speaker 1: was lying. We knew it was lying. How old are you? Say?
21:15
Speaker 1: One age? How old are you? Again? It was another age?
21:18
Speaker 1: Are you you know, are deeming what you know? We
21:21
Speaker 1: start asking, the thing would move around crazy. It's the
21:24
Speaker 1: first and last time time I ever played that thing, man,
21:27
Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, this ain't this. Ain't it.
21:29
Speaker 1: I knew unsaved back then, I knew that this was
21:33
Speaker 1: that wasn't it. We were being lied to And to
21:37
Speaker 1: this very day, demons are still lying to people that
21:39
Speaker 1: deceiving spirits. Amen, And they don't want the truth to
21:42
Speaker 1: be revealed to me or to you, Sister Joys. Good morning, God,
21:46
Speaker 1: bless you, Thank you for the blessings to the group. Amen.
21:49
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I did that years ago. So be
21:52
Speaker 1: careful when you're you're messing around that type of stuff.
21:56
Speaker 1: And most of the times you led to that place
21:59
Speaker 1: of messing around and the spirit you by false prophets
22:02
Speaker 1: and false teachers. People say, oh, you know, if I'm
22:05
Speaker 1: in the building right then you'll be okay. So you
22:09
Speaker 1: could get ahead and mess with it. Nah, don't do that.
22:12
Speaker 1: Do not do that. Jesus cautioned us to be discerning
22:17
Speaker 1: and to recognize these individuals by not what they say,
22:24
Speaker 1: by not what they do, but by their fruits. Recognize
22:29
Speaker 1: them by their fruits, just like any believer that says
22:33
Speaker 1: they're born again and that they're attached to the tree
22:36
Speaker 1: of life, which is the Word of God, which is
22:39
Speaker 1: the vine a man attached. We're going to tell if
22:43
Speaker 1: that's true or not. By our fruit a man is
22:46
Speaker 1: a good fruit or bad fruit. And sometimes people are
22:50
Speaker 1: on the journey and it's messy in the beginning. Sometimes
22:53
Speaker 1: sometimes it's messy all through our Christian life. Do it anyway?
22:57
Speaker 1: You know, if you find yourself in a mess and
23:00
Speaker 1: you're trying to work things out and you're asking God
23:03
Speaker 1: to help you keep on going, amen, it does get messy.
23:07
Speaker 1: The last time I checked the gospel message what Jesus
23:10
Speaker 1: did on that cross, I don't think that was all
23:12
Speaker 1: preppy and he was an all dressed in suit and
23:15
Speaker 1: all that. I think it was a gory, messy situation
23:19
Speaker 1: that Jesus went through on our behalf to get us
23:23
Speaker 1: this eternal life that we actually have right now. So
23:27
Speaker 1: sometimes things are gonna get messy. But when you see
23:30
Speaker 1: a teacher or a prophet that's still in their mess
23:35
Speaker 1: year after year after year, and they're getting rich, right,
23:40
Speaker 1: they're flying around in their own jets, they're doing packing
23:43
Speaker 1: out big colosseums, and theaters and churches. They're packing out.
23:46
Speaker 1: People are following after them. You start noticing that those
23:50
Speaker 1: people that are following after these false prophets and false teachers,
23:53
Speaker 1: they're fanatics. They're just chasing around after them to get
23:57
Speaker 1: their word or get their maria. When we have Holy
24:01
Speaker 1: Spirit living inside of us, we don't gotta go far.
24:04
Speaker 1: Wake up, Holy Spirit, I need help. What about that,
24:07
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit? I need a miracle, Holy Spirit. I need
24:10
Speaker 1: to be healed, Holy Spirit. I need to sound mind,
24:13
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, Help me speak right, help me think right,
24:16
Speaker 1: Help me go away from that situation that will lead
24:19
Speaker 1: me to the temptation and fall. How far did I
24:23
Speaker 1: go to do that? And man, I don't have to
24:25
Speaker 1: jump on a train, plane or automobile to get to
24:28
Speaker 1: a person that's going to basically tell me the same
24:31
Speaker 1: thing that I already know. I will basically tell you
24:34
Speaker 1: the same thing that you already know if you read
24:36
Speaker 1: the scriptures. But when we agree in what we know,
24:40
Speaker 1: and we agree with the word of God, and when
24:43
Speaker 1: we take heed to the warning warnings of the Lord Jesus,
24:47
Speaker 1: get ready, and man, it's going to happen. God's gonna
24:50
Speaker 1: show up in miraculous ways. He's gonna show up in
24:52
Speaker 1: tremendous ways that you never in a thousand years thought
24:55
Speaker 1: he would do and be able to do it in
24:57
Speaker 1: you and then through me. Come on God, is that good?
25:01
Speaker 1: God blessed and good morning, Mama Joyce. Yes, yes, Mama Joye. Amen.
25:07
Speaker 1: So that's one of the warnings, this additional warnings. If
25:12
Speaker 1: you look at the scriptures Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
25:14
Speaker 1: Jesus was dropping gems all the time, warning us where
25:18
Speaker 1: to go, where not to go, who to follow, who
25:21
Speaker 1: not to follow, exposing the devil, casting out demons, correcting
25:28
Speaker 1: the religious people of his time. He went about doing
25:32
Speaker 1: his business. He was about his father's business. And because
25:35
Speaker 1: Jesus was focused on his father's business, the kingdom business
25:39
Speaker 1: that he was the king of Amen, he didn't have
25:43
Speaker 1: time for all this other stuff. But he warned us
25:45
Speaker 1: about it. Then later on, when Jesus ascended and sent
25:49
Speaker 1: back Holy Spirit, and when the one hundred and twenty
25:51
Speaker 1: from the Upper Room received the Holy Spirit to promise
25:53
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit and they went out to preach and teach
25:55
Speaker 1: and all that and cast out demons, they kept on
25:59
Speaker 1: sharing the warnings of the Lord. Amen. Because it was
26:02
Speaker 1: still happening. They were seeing it happening right in front
26:05
Speaker 1: of their face. Sometimes we see things happen and because
26:07
Speaker 1: we're nice people, we don't want to call it out.
26:10
Speaker 1: But what about you, your family? It's not just you, right,
26:14
Speaker 1: Many times we go to houses of worship, churches and
26:19
Speaker 1: we're in communities most of the times with our families too,
26:23
Speaker 1: because we're trusting the leadership, we're trusting the people, so
26:26
Speaker 1: we have our families in there too, so we're not
26:29
Speaker 1: just going to be the only ones that can possibly
26:33
Speaker 1: be deceived by these false teachers and false prophets. But
26:36
Speaker 1: then we're leading our family into that too. That's why
26:39
Speaker 1: it's very important to use our discernment. God has given
26:43
Speaker 1: us warnings over and over again. Amen. How about the
26:47
Speaker 1: times that he tells you, hey, you shouldn't go there tonight,
26:51
Speaker 1: and we'll be like, I don't know if that's the
26:53
Speaker 1: Lord of that's you know, my way of thinking, and
26:58
Speaker 1: people go anyway, and a lot of people will tell
27:01
Speaker 1: you I wish I would have not did that. I've
27:04
Speaker 1: been there before, God telling me certain things not to do,
27:07
Speaker 1: and I said, I'll be all right, and I'll do
27:09
Speaker 1: it anyway. Be careful, use discernment and listen to the
27:14
Speaker 1: voice of God. I am out of time, Ladies and gentlemen,
27:16
Speaker 1: about that went fast a man. That's one of the
27:18
Speaker 1: warnings of Jesus. Look it up Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
27:23
Speaker 1: He warned his disciples and the people of God, and
27:28
Speaker 1: the people that he was minising to warn them about
27:31
Speaker 1: some other things as well. So read Matthew chapter number seven,
27:36
Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself. We camped out at verses
27:39
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty on the morning devo today, listen, I
27:42
Speaker 1: hope you have a great weekend. Amen. God bless you all.
27:46
Speaker 1: God keep you all, and remember always that God is good.
27:50
Speaker 1: Please
