Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Berean's Corner, the podcast where we go
through books of the Biblechapter by chapter and verse by
verse, wherever you are in theworld.
Thank you for joining.
Grab a glass of water, a cup ofcoffee or tea and let's get
into today's lesson.
I solemnly charge you in thepresence of God and of Christ

(00:38):
Jesus, who is to judge theliving and the dead, and by his
appearing in his kingdom, preachthe word.
Be ready in season and out ofseason.

(01:02):
I hope everyone is doing well.
I want to.
I started out with that warningin second Timothy to remind us
about these false teachers outhere and, unfortunately, these
four parishioner these poorparishioners, if you will who go
for their nonsense.
And the false teacher I'mtalking about today is one,

(01:23):
jamal Bryant.
Now I don't need to play thevideo.
I'm sure some of you have seenit and if you have it you can go
find it, because I don't wastea lot of time on a man like this
.
But this man has done sermonsin the last couple of weeks
where he is talking aboutgovernment issues, and you know
what government issues I'mtalking about.
People do not come to the houseof God, or what is supposed to

(01:47):
be the house of God to hear thatnonsense.
They come to the house of Godto hear the word of God.
They come to hear thescriptures taught and broken
down chapter by chapter, verseby verse, not to hear a man go
on a rant about what he'sfeeling and how he's feeling.
You know, it really saddened meto see that video and to see

(02:07):
those men and women, those uhemasculated men in there with
their hand in the air and andwaving and jumping up and down
and with all that nonsense ofyou know, going pastor you know
that that'll preach right thereand all that other nonsense.
Instead there should have beenmen walking out of the church
because that is not what theycame there for.
They didn't come there to heara man talk about that.

(02:30):
Uh, people who don't like himcan pull up on him and all the
name calling that he was doingto people.
Real people of god would sitdown and not deal with that
foolishness and and I meant thatthe way I just said it if you
are truly of the lord, you wouldnot be in there dealing with
that nonsense.
You wouldn't find it okay, youwould not be trying to defend it

(02:51):
.
You would be calling it forwhat it is.
You would be calling it thehouse of satan, which is exactly
what it is.
I don't understand these, thesemen who stand in this, in these
pulpits, with uh, with their uhgym shoes on and their designed
not designer, but designedsweatshirts, you know, with
characters on them.
Whatever happened to the man ofGod that showed up with a suit

(03:14):
on and a tie, or at least ashirt and a tie, to present
himself in the Lord's house?
Now, there's supposed to bereverence in the house of God.
There's supposed to be a levelof respect that this is a
semblance of the Old Testament,the tabernacle of God.
Now, to be honest, these, mostof these churches here in North

(03:34):
America, they are not, you know,like the old tabernacles.
They are just brick and mortarbuildings full of Satan's
children, but they're supposedto be a representation of, back
in Leviticus, what was happeningwhen they were preparing the
tabernacle, when they wereputting the tents up and the
presence of God was actuallythere.
Instead, nowadays, we havethese false teachers like Jamal

(03:56):
Bryant and the nonsense thatthey are spewing.
I want to look at a fewscriptures.
If you have your bible and ifnot, you can reference this down
and check it out later.
Go to Jeremiah 14 in verse 14.
Speaking of false teachers,actually, let me back up to
verse 13.
But I, lord God.
I said look, the prophets aretelling them you will not see

(04:19):
the sword, nor will you havefamine, but I will give you
lasting peace in this place.
Then the Lord said to me theprophets are prophesying
falsehood in my name.
I have neither sent them, norcommanded them, nor spoken to
them.
They are prophesying to you afalse vision, divination,
futility and the deception oftheir own minds.

(04:42):
While you're in Jeremiah, turnto chapter 23,.
Or you can jot down 23 and youcan go back and check it out on
your own time.
Jeremiah 23 and look at verse16.
Thus says the Lord of hosts donot listen to the words of the
prophets who are prophesying toyou.

(05:02):
They are leading you intofutility.
They speak a vision of theirown imagination, not from the
mouth of the Lord.
Men like this, this is exactlywhat they're doing.
They're not giving you the wordof God.
They are speaking things fromtheir own mouth and from their
own heart, and those of you whoare in the Lord, you know it too
.
Now there could be some peoplein his church who heard the

(05:26):
things that he was spewing, thenonsense that he was spewing,
and you know they could havereally took it to heart and said
you know what?
This is not what we're supposedto be here for, but
unfortunately, a majority of thepeople in there were, you know,
shouting and jumping up.
And you know a quote unquoteman of God is talking about, if
you see me run up on me, whichreminds me, these type of men,

(05:47):
these type of false teachers,these wolves in sheep's clothing
.
They're not walking around inneighborhoods and right now I am
particularly talking to myblack people here in the United
States.
They are not walking throughour neighborhoods on any type of
business like that.
He's not even leaving thatchurch without his bodyguard.
So how dare a coward like thissay if you see me, you know, run

(06:09):
up on me or pull up on me orwhatever exactly it was he said,
when he knows good and well,he's never going to come to your
neighborhood and say thosethings he said on the pulpit and
he's not going to do it withoutbodyguards.
So you know, I don't understandwhy these men, you know, these
emasculated men in the church,were getting excited about that,

(06:29):
because they know that'sexactly how that's going to go
down.
Speaking of false teachers, turnto matthew 7.
Matthew 7 and uh, let's look atwhat christ says in verses 15
through 23.
Beware of the false prophetswho come to you in sheep's
clothing but inwardly areravenous wolves, which is

(06:50):
exactly what this man is.
You will know them by theirfruits.
Grapes are not gathered fromthorn bushes, nor figs from
thistles are they.
Even so, every good tree bearsgood fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot produce badfruit, nor can a bad tree bears
bad fruit.
A good tree cannot produce badfruit, nor can a bad tree
produce good fruit.
Every tree that does not beargood fruit is cut down and

(07:13):
thrown into the fire.
So then, you will know them bytheir fruits.
Not everyone who says to me,lord, lord, will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he whodoes the will of my father, who
is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, right here this is one of the
absolute saddest verses inscripture.
Not everyone who says to me,lord, lord, will enter the

(07:36):
kingdom of heaven, but he whodoes the will of my father, who
is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, lord, lord, did we not
prophesy in your name?
And in your name, cast outdemons and in your name, perform
many miracles.
And then I will declare to themI never knew you.
Depart from me, you whopractice lawlessness.

(07:56):
A lot of people are going tohear that on that day.
So, for the people who want torun and defend this, this coward
, this false prophet, and say,oh, he's a man of God and he's
doing this and that, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, remember,
there's a lot of people who aregoing to say his name.
They're going to say Jesus,they're going to say Yahshua,
whatever language that theyspoke on this earth.
They're going to say his nameand say didn't I do these things

(08:18):
in your name?
Wasn't I a pastor that was notthere every Sunday teaching the
people?
Your word's gonna look at themand say I never knew you.
You may, you may think that youknew me and you were doing my
will, but you were never doingmy will.
So that's what you have in thistype of situation.
And also, to turn to mark 11,real quick turn to mark 11,

(08:40):
because I also was thinkingabout uh, how people like him.
How know, they robbed thepeople and their quote unquote
church is nothing but a den ofthieves.
Turn to Mark 11.
And when you get there, we arelooking at verse 17.
Mark 11, 17.
And he began to teach and sayto them that he is Jesus.

(09:00):
Is it not written my houseshall be called a house of
prayer for all the nations, butyou have made it a robber's den.
These prosperity teachers likethis.
That's exactly what they havedone to the people.
They have made God's house arobber's den.
And if you want some OldTestament scripture to back that
up, when jesus, uh, when jesusjust said my house shall be

(09:22):
called a house of prayer for allnations, you can see him
talking about that in isaiah 56and 7.
And then when he said that, butyou have made it a robber's den
.
Jeremiah talked about that injeremiah, chapter 7, verse 11.
Now, unfortunately, there arepeople we don't.
We don't want to end up on theoutside.

(09:43):
You don't want to end up beinga person who was on the outside
looking in when the lord comesback to set this thing straight,
because you follow falseprophets like this.
Okay, turn to revelation 22,and this is what I'm going to
end on revelation 22, 15, andyou'll see where I'm coming.
You'll see where I'm comingfrom.
This is jesus giving his finalmessage.
John is writing down the wordsof the lord, revelation 22, 15.

(10:07):
Outside are the dogs and thesorcerers and the immoral
persons and the murderers andthe idolaters and everyone who
loves and practices lying.
Listen, you do not want to beone of these dogs who are
outside.
So what I hope and I pray isthat you repent.
If you're a member of thisman's church, or if you're one
of these people on social mediareposting what he said like it's

(10:29):
cool or it's for it's funny, orsomehow he's on some type of
business, you need to repentbecause you are following a
false prophet.
And if you are jamal bryant, wecan hope that he does the same,
that he repents, because I'mnot his judge.
I'm not your judge.
What I do know is that I don'twant to see anyone go down that

(10:49):
wide path that leads todestruction.
I don't want to see anyonethrown in to that eternal lake
of fire that was made for Satanand his angels.
I don't want to see anybody endup there.
So if you don't want to end upone of the dogs who are outside
that Christ was talking aboutyou need to repent.
You need to get away from thatand find you a man who teaches
the scriptures, who is seriousabout the scriptures and he is

(11:11):
not on political nonsense.
All right, people, I just I justhad to get that out.
I have seen this for about aweek and I just couldn't take
any more of it.
You know, seeing videos ofpeople reposting it like you
know, people liking it andloving it.
