  Amen, and I am certainly grateful to the Lord for Amen, keeping

  us through all of these Amen. Turbulent times. Amen. We are living
• 1:37
  as the Bible told us in perilous times. Perilous times. We're in those
• 1:42
  times. Amen. And we certainly are a man looking in anticipation for Amen,
• 1:49
  the return of Jesus Christ for his bride. Amen to them that look

• 2:21
  as always to this Amen podcast. And of course we are continuing and almost
• 2:28
  at the end of this particular short series from the letter the letters rather the
• 2:35
  epistles of the Apostle John Amen. One of the Amen, disciples of Jesus
• 2:39
  who was with him during his earthly ministry. Amen. One of those who
• 2:44
  was in the Inner Circle, Amen, along with a man Peter and James.
• 2:50
  And certainly he was an eyewitness of the majesty of Jesus, of the
• 2:54
  everyday ministry of Jesus, and he heard from the lips of Jesus. And
• 2:59
  of course, in his writing to the church a man, he is simply
• 3:02
  reiterating, emphasizing, reminding us of those things that Jesus taught his disciples.
• 3:12
  Amen. So he was a faithful Amen, disciple, faithful to the Word,
• 3:15
  faithful to his Master. Amen. And we also want to be found
• 3:21
  faithful. Amen, at the end of the day. Amen, you want
• 3:24
  to be found faithful in him. The John Epistles a second John, Second
• 3:31
  John, the second letter that he wrote to the church, beginning at verse
• 3:36
  number one is certainly if you have your bibles, you can follow along with
• 3:38
  us the elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in
• 3:45
  truth. And not only I, but also all those who have known the
• 3:51
  truth, because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us
• 4:00
  for ever. Amen. Let me just pause here, because I want to
• 4:04
  spend just a few minutes, Amen, speaking about this abiding truth, the
• 4:10
  abiding truth. Amen. Truth cannot fail, ladies and gentlemen, Church of
• 4:15
  a Living God, please understand, please know it. Amen, cement it
• 4:19
  in your mind, that truth, God's truth. Amen. Truth cannot fail,
• 4:25
  truth cannot change, truth cannot evolve, Amen, And truth certainly cannot
• 4:33
  perish. It is the abiding truth, as God is eternal, forever,
• 4:43
  from everlasting to everlasting, having no beginning, no ending. Amen. So
• 4:48
  is his truth eternal. Amen. Man has always Amen, and will continue
• 4:55
  to resist the truth. He will continue to avoid the truth. Truth.
• 5:00
  A man attempt to change the truth, as for all the Apostle wrote about
• 5:04
  in Romans chapter number one, a man changing the truth of God. Amen.
• 5:11
  And it is because of the rebellious nature of man's sinful heart. But
• 5:16
  he can never ever and he will never ever seceed a man in dispelling truth
• 5:23
  from this world. Amen, Truth from this universe, Truth from the heavens.
• 5:29
  Truth reigns, Amen, because Jesus Christ reigns. Now, what is
• 5:33
  truth? Panta's pilot asked, Amen, if you know of the dialogue that
• 5:39
  he had with Jesus while he was on trial. Amen. Pilot asked this
• 5:44
  question of Jesus, what is truth? Amen? And of course he was
• 5:47
  oblivious to the reality that the very embodiment of truth was right there in front
• 5:55
  of his eyes. Amen. In one of the stated reasons, Jesus said
• 6:00
  a man of his coming into this world was to testify to the truth,
• 6:06
  bear witness to the truth. The world hated him, then, the world
• 6:12
  hates him now. And this hatred of Jesus is because he is truth.
• 6:19
  Amen. And the devil who is the father of lies, hates truth.
• 6:24
  Amen. He hates the truth. He's the father of lies, and he
• 6:29
  is the deceiver who deceives the hearts of men into hating and fighting against the
• 6:34
  truth. But you will not win. Amen. And because Jesus abides forever,
• 6:41
  so shall truth. Amen. And the Bible speaks of this God's truth
• 6:46
  abides in us. This is what the Apostle is writing about. It abides
• 6:50
  in us, and it will be with us forever. And we live in
• 6:55
  the truth. And this is what we're called to do. Live in the
• 6:58
  truth. Amen. All to love in the truth and to walk in the
• 7:02
  truth. And to know Jesus is to know the truth. Amen. And
• 7:08
  that's what Jesus. Amen. Came down to this world for also, Amen.
• 7:14
  He came to be with us, and he came to abide in us
• 7:17
  forever. Jesus taught these words his disciples. He say, you shall know
• 7:21
  the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Amen. If the
• 7:26
  Son therefore shall make you free, Jesus said, you shall be free.
• 7:30
  Indeed, and this can only come to you to me, Amen, when
• 7:36
  Jesus comes to abide within us. Amen. Without Jesus, you don't have
• 7:42
  truth. You're living in deception. You're living in delusion. You're living a
• 7:46
  lie. Amen. Look at verse number three. The Bible says, grace,
• 7:50
  mercy, and peace will be with you. Amen, from God the
• 7:57
  Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, son of the Father. Listen what
• 8:01
  he says in truth and love. Amen, And we will get to that
• 8:05
  just a minute. Truth. Oh, it's inseparable, inseparable. Verse number
• 8:11
  four, he said, I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your
• 8:16
  children walking in truth. Now, obviously there are those who are not walking
• 8:22
  in truth, but he rejoices in the fact that there are those who are
• 8:26
  walking a man in truth. John says, as we received commandment from the
• 8:35
  Father a man verse five. And now I plead with you, lady,
• 8:41
  not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we
• 8:46
  have had from the beginning, that we love one another. This is what
• 8:54
  John says. This is love that we walk according to his commandments. Amen.
• 9:01
  And this is the commandment that, as you have heard from the beginning,
• 9:07
  you should walk in it. Amen. Now, now let's again be
• 9:11
  crystal clear, as the apostle is in this a man letter that he's writing
• 9:18
  to the church, this second a man epistle letter, Amen to the church
• 9:22
  walking in the truth. According to what the Apostle John heard and understood from
• 9:30
  the teaching of Jesus is simply this, loving one another is walking in the
• 9:39
  truth. True love is walking according to his commandments. Amen. Those who
• 9:46
  love Jesus are those who obey Jesus. And John has already reiterated that in
• 9:52
  his first letter. We've covered that Amen, in previous Amen sessions that we've
• 9:56
  done already on this in this short series on the teachings of this apostle,
• 10:03
  this great Apostle. If you love Jesus, you obey Jesus. Those who
• 10:07
  love Jesus are those who obey him. Those who do not obey Jesus,
• 10:13
  they do not love Jesus, and they are not walking in the truth.
• 10:20
  Period. Amen. By the love that you have one for another, Jesus
• 10:24
  taught his disciples shall all men know that you are My disciples. Indeed,
• 10:31
  what are the two great commandments? Ladies and gentlemen, What are the two
• 10:35
  fulfilling of the law commandments? Number one, Love God with all your heart,
• 10:41
  all your mind, all your soul. Number two, Love your neighbor
• 10:45
  as yourself. The Bible teaches on these two. Hang all the law and
• 10:50
  the prophets all of Amen. The command is fulfilled in these things. Amen.
• 10:58
  In this love, Amen, love works no ill, the Bible teachers
• 11:03
  toward his neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law. And
• 11:05
  Paul wrote First Corinthians thirteen. You are familiar with it, though I speak
• 11:09
  with the tongue of men and of angels. Amen, And have not charity.
• 11:13
  If I don't have the real love of God. Amen, I can
• 11:16
  be a sounding brass or tinkling symbol. That's all I am. Because without
• 11:22
  these things. Even though I give my body to be burned, I give
• 11:24
  all my earthly goods to feed the poor, it will profit me nothing.
• 11:30
  Because I do not have the love of God. I'm not walking in love.
• 11:35
  I'm not amen in love. Amen. I don't love Jesus because I
• 11:41
  don't obey him. Amen. So I'm deceiving myself. I'm walking in deception.
• 11:46
  I'm walking in delusion. I'm living in delusion. Amen, by the
• 11:50
  love that you have one for another, Jesus commanded this for his disciples.
• 11:56
  Amen, love one another. Listen this verse number seven. And this is
• 12:01
  why it's so important that we have this love one for another and this care
• 12:05
  one for another. A man for many deceivers verse seven have gone out into
• 12:11
  the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This
• 12:20
  is a deceiver and an anti Christ. John says verse eight. Look to
• 12:28
  yourselves that we do not lose those things we work for, but that we
• 12:35
  may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide verse number nine
• 12:45
  in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the
• 12:54
  doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone verse ten
• 13:01
  comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, Amen, do not receive
• 13:13
  him into your house nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in
• 13:24
  his evil deed. Why do we need to abide in his love and walk
• 13:33
  in the truth. Ladies and gentlemen, John makes it crystal clear. It
• 13:37
  is because there are many deceivers, many deceivers. This was over roughly two
• 13:46
  thousand years ago. Amen, many deceivers who have gone out into the world.
• 13:52
  Amen, every one of them. The Bible is crystal clear about this,
• 13:58
  every one of them of the wicked one. And by their words and
• 14:05
  their deeds, they are anti Christ. They are enemies of the Cross,
• 14:15
  they are enemies of the truth, and they are enemies of your salvation.
• 14:22
  They are enemies of the Church of Jesus Christ. And the reason for their
• 14:28
  evil existence is to make children of hell, just like they are. That's
• 14:35
  who they are. They are of the devil. They teach doctrines of devils.
• 14:39
  Amen. Amen. And they are a man. As Jesus told the
• 14:43
  Jews of his day, you are of your father, the devil. They
• 14:48
  hate the freedom and the liberty that the truth brings, and they seek to
• 14:54
  kill, steal, and to destroy, just like their father the devil does.
• 15:01
  Amen. That's who they follow. That's who they are. They are
• 15:05
  his disciples. Amen. Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice, and
• 15:09
  a stranger they will not follow. Amen. And when Jesus told people truth
• 15:15
  that they didn't want to hear. Amen, except you eat the flesh of
• 15:18
  the Sun of Man and drink his blood, you have no life, you
• 15:20
  have no part with him. Amen. And the Bible says from that time
• 15:24
  for many people who were following him went away and walked no more with him.
• 15:31
  Amen. If you don't want the doctrine of Christ is you don't believe
• 15:35
  the doctrine of Christ. Amen, you are anti Christ. You're not with
• 15:41
  him. Jesus said, you're not with me, you are against me.
• 15:45
  You are anti his teaching. Amen, anti his commandments. And the Bible
• 15:52
  teaches. John writes these words. Anyone who transgresses Amen, and does not
• 16:02
  abide in the doctrine and doctrine matters, Ladiesham, I've talked about this in
• 16:07
  the past. Doctrine matters, Amen, it matters. And the doctrine that
• 16:15
  we are supposed to be in as the Church of the Living God, is
• 16:18
  the doctrine of Christ, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the commandments of the
• 16:23
  Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of the Living God. Man should not live
• 16:27
  by bread alone, but by what every word that proceeds out of the mouth
• 16:30
  of Christ, out of the mouth of God. Amen. Anyone who by
• 16:36
  the way Jesus, the voice that came from heaven. He says, this
• 16:40
  is my beloved son, dearly beloved son. Hear ye him. Amen.
• 16:45
  And Jesus said, if you don't believe that I am he, I am
• 16:49
  in the Father and the Father, and me I am my father. Hawan.
• 16:52
  If you've seen me, you've seen the Father. Amen. Anyone who
• 16:56
  transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ, the Bible plainly teaches,
• 17:04
  does not have God. If anyone comes to you, John Wrights continues
• 17:15
  and does not bring this doctrine, the doctrine of Christ. Neither is there
• 17:22
  salvation in any other. There's none other name given them, a meing men
• 17:26
  whereby we must be saved. It is that the name of Jesus. Every
• 17:30
  need must bow, every time must confess. Amen. Salvation is only through
• 17:37
  Jesus the Christ. He is the door, he is the Way, he
• 17:41
  is the Truth, He is the life, the light of this world.
• 17:47
  Amen, the light that pierces the darkness. Jesus said, this is the
• 17:51
  condemnation. This is why men will be condemned, because they refuse the light
• 18:00
  that has come into the world, and they prefer the darkness that is why
• 18:08
  people will be condemned, not because they are sinners. We're all sinners by
• 18:12
  nature, born in sin, shaping in iniquity. Amen. This is what
• 18:18
  Jesus came to do, save sinners, Save you from the power of sin,
• 18:25
  the influence of sin. Amen. We're not yet delivered from the presence
• 18:30
  of sin. That will come, Amen, But right now Jesus is in
• 18:36
  the business of saving you from your sins, from the deceitfulness of the world.
• 18:41
  And there is no other salvation, ladies and gentlemen to be had.
• 18:47
  Amen. If anybody teaches any other doctrine, come with you, come to
• 18:52
  you knocking on your door. Amen, teaching any of the doctrine the Bible
• 19:00
  says, do not receive him into your house. Don't even greet them.
• 19:07
  Because the one who greets them, and the King James and said, who
• 19:11
  bid them god speed, Amen, wishes them well. No, I don't
• 19:18
  wish you well. Amen. I'm not praying for your success because you are
• 19:23
  anti Christ. I have no good well wishes for you, Amen, other
• 19:30
  than your repentance, other than you coming out of your false doctrines teachings.
• 19:38
  Amen, turn to the Lord. And there are those who have Amen,
• 19:44
  because they are those who have just simply were led as straight. But for
• 19:48
  the most part he is speaking of these who are deliberate, Amen, malicious
• 19:55
  really, Amen, and and and and actually strike against the truth, not
• 20:00
  someone who is just simply led astray, Amen, and and and and in
• 20:07
  their ignorance. Amen. No, no, no, these people they know
• 20:11
  what they're doing. Amen. And they are stridently oppose to the truth.
• 20:21
  Don't bid them god speed, Nor are you to even allow them in your
• 20:27
  house, because John says he who does so, you are a partaker in
• 20:37
  their evil deeds. It is evil what they're doing. They are leading people
• 20:44
  down the path of destruction, the blind leading the blind. That's who they
• 20:49
  are. And that's why Jesus warned his disciples over and over again to beware
• 20:55
  of false prophets, false teachers, Beware of the living of the Pharisee.
• 21:00
  These are religious people. Now beware of their loving Jesus says. Beware,
• 21:06
  they say, but they don't do. And they will travel, Jesus said,
• 21:10
  they will travel land and see to make one proselyte. And when they
• 21:15
  make him, and when they get him, when they catch him, when
• 21:19
  they lure him in, he is Jesus said, twice the child of Hell
• 21:23
  than they are. It's evil. And what all false doctrines and their teachers
• 21:32
  promulgate is evil. This is what the Bible teaches. It's evil. The
• 21:37
  apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians who were under siege, also amen by false
• 21:42
  doctrine deceivers. Hey man, He wrote these strong, unapologetic words. You
• 21:49
  can find this in first in Galatians, brother, first chapter, verses six
• 21:53
  through nine. I read it very quickly here and Paul says, listen to
• 21:56
  the church. I marvel that you are turning away so soon from him who
• 22:03
  called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is
• 22:10
  not another. There is no other, ladies and gentlemen, there is no
• 22:15
  other gospel. There's no other salvation. There's no other way. Hey man,
• 22:18
  Jesus say, if you try to climb up some other way, you're
• 22:19
  the same as what thief and a robber, which is not another. But
• 22:25
  there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ.
• 22:33
  But listen what Paul says, verse number eight, Galatian chapter one. But
• 22:38
  even if we the apostle says, if it's me anyone, that's with me,
• 22:45
  anyone that's associated with me. If me or an angel from heaven preach
• 22:55
  any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him
• 23:04
  be a cursed. As we have said before, So now I say again,
• 23:12
  if anyone preaches any other gospel to you then what you have received,
• 23:22
  let him be a cursed. I'm gonna close with the words of Jesus Matthew
• 23:33
  twenty four, beginning a verse of before Jesus warned, he talked about this,
• 23:37
  all about these false prophets, deceivers who were already there and would be
• 23:42
  coming even more so, Amen, listen to these words. Matthew twenty four,
• 23:48
  beginning verse number four. Jesus answered and said to them, take heat
• 23:52
  that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, saying
• 24:00
  I am the Christ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars
• 24:07
  and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. All these things
• 24:12
  must come to pass, But the end is not yet. For nations shall
• 24:18
  rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines,
• 24:26
  the earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then
• 24:37
  they will deliver you up to amen tribulation and kill you. And you will
• 24:44
  be hated by all nations for my namesake. And then many will be offended,
• 24:51
  will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many listen
• 24:56
  what Jesus says. Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And
• 25:08
  because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he
• 25:19
  who endures to the end shall be saved. That's abiding in him, abiding
• 25:30
  in his love. That's the end. This is a race, ladies and
• 25:33
  gentlemen, of endurance. Amen, this is a race. Is not that
• 25:37
  the Bible teaches that is not given to the swift, It is not given
• 25:41
  to the strong, But he who endures to the end. This is all
• 25:47
  about perseverance, the perseverance of the saints. But he who endures to the
• 25:52
  end shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom Jesus says, will
• 25:56
  be preached, and it is in all the world, and it is as
• 26:03
  a witness to all the nations. And it is and then the end will
• 26:10
  come. And it is almost here. Ladies and gentlemen, we are living
• 26:15
  in the last of the last days. Church of Jesus Christ. Amen,
• 26:22
  make sure your house is in order. Amen. Are your garments ready?
• 26:30
  Amen? Is your heart ready? Is your mind ready? Is your soul
• 26:36
  ready? John says, Abide in the truth, Abide in his love,
• 26:42
  Walk in his love. That's what God has called us to do, Ladies
• 26:45
  and gentlemen, Church of the Living God. Jesus wrote it, I mean,
• 26:49
  Jesus spoke it this way, and John the Apostle wrote it in his
• 26:52
  gospel. Abide in me and my word in you. Amen. We are
• 26:57
  to live in his walk in him and he in us. Amen. Because
• 27:03
  his truth is forever. His truth, as someone wrote in a song,
• 27:11
  is marching on. Father, Help someone today, Lord, Let someone's eyes
• 27:15
  be open. Let someone's ears be attentive to hear the voice of the Savior,
• 27:21
  to hear you knocking at the door of their heart. You said,
• 27:25
  behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man will hear
• 27:27
  my voice, if anyone will open, I will come in and sup with
• 27:32
  him. You will be in us. Lord, you promise as a well
• 27:36
  of order springing up to ever lasting life. God, be glorified in your
• 27:40
  people today, Be glorified in your church. We thank you now for all
• 27:44
  of your blessings in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen
