  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God, to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges? On this program, we are going
• 0:19

  Speaker 2: books of 1st and 2nd Corinthians, and our caption for
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: today is, Uh-oh, we're smoking them out, y'all. False teachers identified.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Before we get into that, I'd like to say welcome
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to you and ask you to go over to yourdailyportion.com.
• 1:11

• 1:12
  Speaker 2: until you see what you see on the screen. Those
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of you on YouTube can see it. Stop guessing what
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to do with your life. Discover God's design for your life. And,

  Speaker 2: of course, those of you on the radio know. you'll
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: identify it once you see it. Get there, get there,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and then click that button that I'm highlighting here, begin
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the assessment. And that will help you to come away
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: with a personal blueprint and a clear picture of how

  Speaker 2: God has gifted you, the word behind each gift, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the first step toward using it. All right, go ahead
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and do that. And also, please, if The Lord inclines you, please,

  Speaker 2: pray and then get underway. Father in heaven, thank you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for this day that you have made. Help us to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: rejoice and be glad in it. Help us to have
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: an ear that is attuned to the truth. That's it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name I pray.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And amen again. False teachers identified. It's a newsflash. It's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a newsflash. Not everybody who preaches Jesus or says Jesus's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: name in a sentence is preaching the Jesus of Scripture.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There are times that people make up stuff and misrepresent
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the God of heaven. and are disrespectful to the legacy
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that God has left through his apostles and disciples and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the prophets of old. God is saying that the church
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: must know our Savior well enough to recognize when a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: counterfeit is being presented in his name. I think when
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus' disciples said, Jesus, You're talking about all this stuff
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that's kind of, wow, what do you, whoa. Can you
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: tell us when these things will be? Can you tell
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: us what will be the sign of the end and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the fact that you're coming back? Can you tell us
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: about that? Can you show us when, like, how we're
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: going to know that this is about to be the reality?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And Jesus said, don't be deceived. There are going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: be false Christs and false prophets in the term Jesus.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that he used before he used Christ and before he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: used prophet was pseudo. Pseudo prophetes, fake prophets, pseudo Christs. Yeah?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And so in the same way we use the word
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: in English. So he was warning them that in the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: last days especially, you're going to see a lot of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: fake stuff. Not just counterfeit purses and handbags, but you're
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: going to see pseudo people being preached as if they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: are me. Okay, and so in 2 Corinthians chapter 11,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we get a quick history lesson and a warning from
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: verses 3 and 4. 2 Corinthians chapter 11, verses 3
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and 4, and the Bible reads, But I fear, lest
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve, that means
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: deceived Eve, through his subtlety or treachery, So your minds
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So there are times that we begin, not we, I'm
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: not accepting that, that human beings begin to believe a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: lie because some human beings like stuff to be complicated.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: They like stuff to be so fancy and to have
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: big words, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, and sometimes other languages.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: They're not satisfied with the fact that Jesus Christ and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: him crucified is, in fact, our message. If it doesn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: have thousands of days in prophetic speak, then some people
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: are not even interested. And it's a shame. It's a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: shame because God gave us a special wisdom in our
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: faith community, our faith fellowship, on the two books, the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, not only them,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: but in a special way in those places, not so
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we could lose Christ, not so it could be like
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in the days of Josiah and Huldah, the prophetess, when
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the people of God had lost and buried the books
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: of the law. Like, God is not saying that we
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: should be burying the gospel of Jesus Christ in the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: prophecies of the last days. We shouldn't have to figure
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: out where is Jesus in this. He is the author
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and finisher of our faith. He is the focus of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: every single thing we teach. And it's weird that in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: my faith fellowship, the people of God somehow say that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we're going to preach the gospel, we're going to preach
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: practical things, and not doctrine first. And I'm like, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: can you get a dictionary for me, please, and tell
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: me what doctrine is? The Bible doctrine is Bible teaching.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's what doctrine is. I know what you mean by it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: But the Bible, what it teaches, what God has shown
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: us by the Holy Ghost in Scripture, that's all doctrine,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Bible teachings. And so Jesus is central to all Bible teachings.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: May I just continue the text? For if he that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: cometh preaches another Jesus... Whom we have not preached, or
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: if ye receive another spirit which ye have not received,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: or another gospel which ye have not accepted, ye might
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: well bear with him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: What?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, okay. So Paul is saying that there
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: is a danger, and he identifies it not as an
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: obvious attack on the gospel. It's subtlety, just like the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: which the Lord God had made, and then he caught
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Eve slipping. Do you remember that? It's a subtle corruption
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of devotion to Christ, a different Jesus, a different spirit,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a different gospel. Each sounds almost like the real thing,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like when the devil said, yea, hath God said, thou
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: shalt not. Oh, wait, he added a word. Eat of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: every tree. He added another word. In the garden, ye
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: shall not surely die. He added a word. That's the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: same thing. So the protection is not suspicion, but deep
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Intimate knowledge of the true and living Christ of Scripture.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Blessed be his name. So we're not supposed to be,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you know, like paranoid and looking around every corner spooked
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: because we're concerned that maybe something will slip in. We're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: not talking about that. What we are saying is that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: God wants us to be so close to him that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: whenever a counterfeit is manifest, we will smoke that out
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: immediately and say, nope, that is not what God has
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: taught us. That is not the direction God that he
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: has given to us. And so I want you to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: invest time today with Jesus Christ, the one of the gospels,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this same Jesus that the angels said when the people
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of God were looking up at Jesus as he was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: going into what we call the ascension, going into heaven.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: This same Jesus, that's what we're talking about. Read one
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: account of his life, his words, or his character, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: let that familiarity with God, that knowledge of God, that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: connection with God be the standard against which you measure
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: every single other thing that you hear about him. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of course, of course, in 2 Corinthians 11, verses 13
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and 14 says, The Bible talks about, for such are
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: false prophets, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And no marvel, Satan himself is transformed into an angel
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of light. He was when he went to tempt Jesus.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You think he went in there and frightened him and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: jumped out and said, gotcha? Like, no, he was dressed
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: up like an angel of light. And so what God
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: wants us to do is to test everything, test every spirit,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: whether it is of God, not just whether it sounds biblical,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: but whether it produces sincere devotion to the Christ of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the Bible and obedience to his words. Make it a
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening friends. Always remember, we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with L. David Harris. Make it a great day.
