The Porch explores the pervasive danger of deception in both Biblical history and the modern Church. Deception is a central theme throughout scripture, warning Believers to remain vigilant against false teachings, misleading doctrines, and deceitful practices rooted in familiar traditions, and propagated through misdirection, false leaders, and societal pressures.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Welcome to the Porch on Firefall Talk Radio. I'm Richard Grund.
This is where you find the uncompromised red letter basics
of the Word of God. We focus on the Book
of Acts Church to see how they serve the Lord.
When we do that, we find the Church of Lord
intended and not the One Man created. The Porch is
a non denominational, full gospel approach to the Bible based
(00:45):
on the example of the Book of Acts Church. It
aims to restore the priesthood of the believer while regaining
the world's shaking influence of the early Church. The Church
age isn't over. The Upper Room experience is as much
for today as it was on the day of Pentecost.
It's yours if you want it. We offer you the
(01:08):
Word as the Apostles would have to the Jewish and
gentile believers of their day, using both Yeshua and Jesus.
When speaking of the Lord. We prefer to use the
term Messiah rather than Christ. We believe it more accurately
reflects how he was referred to by those who knew him. Additionally,
(01:28):
we provide definitions in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic when necessary,
so that you get the full understanding of what was
being written. Getting back to basics, It's not just a motto,
it's a mandate from the Lord that we intend to honor.

we do is for the Kingdom and for you. Contact
(02:33):
us if you need prayer. Remember we care about you
sincerely and we are ready to pray for you. I
praise the Lord right now. This is how we do things.
We start out with praise and then prayer. You know,
some people have said, why don't you just get right
to the word. Well, I can't do that. If I'm
going to go into his presence, I am going to
(02:53):
do with praise and thanksgiving. Before I offer my petitions
to him. I praise him. Praise him. Oh do I
praise the Lord God Almighty, for he is wonderful. He
has saved me, he has redeemed me. He has given
us his only begotten son as a sacrificial lamb, the
(03:15):
lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world,
because we were never going to be able to live
up to the law. So Father, thank you, thanking for
loving us so much that you did that. Thank you
for all that you've done, in all that you're doing,
allowing us access to you in the throne room. Lord,
(03:38):
during this time of passover, we are reminded of what
you did on the cross. Who were also reminded that
the tomb is empty. You're not there. You are a
risen savior. You are alive forevermore, and you are our
(03:59):
Lord and savior, our master, our teacher, our friend. We
honor you and we glorify you, and we thank you
for that. We thank you for the Holy Spirit through
our Kadish that you sent back to walk with us,
to teach us, to remind us to lead us into
all truth and to empower us. So we pray right now.
(04:23):
First of all, we pray for the technology and everything
that we're doing, that this word would go forth and
do what you desire it to do. We pray for
our homes, our families, our pets, our possessions, a divine
health and healing, protection from the fallen world that we
live in and all that would seek to do us harm.
We pray for healing and our mortal bodies. We pray
(04:46):
for our brothers and sisters around the world being persecuted
and slaughtered for their faith. We pray for the peace
of Jerusalem. Lord, your word says, pray for the peace
of Jerusalem, and we do. We pray that you would
bless them in a court, and we pray that we
would be able to honor you in word and deed.
(05:08):
Pray for America. We need your guidance, We need your help,
We need your covering, that you would be as shield
about us, the glory and the lifter of our head.
For the fatherless, the widows, the persecuted and the martyred,
the innocence, and those who are victims of injustice, those
who have been forgotten those who are hidden in the
(05:28):
darkness and the shadows. We pray for them. We pray
for the victims of human sex trafficking. Lord. The enemy
is out and about doing what it does, and we
ask that you would inspire us to do what we're
called to do, to rescue them and to help them,
and to expose this. We pray against the plans and
(05:48):
the efforts of the spirit of the Antichrist, the persecution,
the anti Semitism, the division, everything is from that spirit.
So the Lord, we pray that you would give us
the ability to shine, to arise and shine, and for
people to come to their senses. We pray for your
protection and your inspiration, and we pray that you'd open
(06:10):
the doors and provide the provision needed so that we
can do everything that you've called us to do in
this hour. And I pray all these things, and you
shoe his name, Amen.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Beloved, I now write to you the second epistle, and
both of which I stir up your pure minds by
way of reminder, that you may be mindful of the
words which were spoken to you before by the Holy prophets,
and of the commandment of us the apostles of the
Lord and Savior. Knowing this first, that scoffers will come
(07:25):
in the last days, walking according to their own lust,
and saying, where is the promise of His coming? For
since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of creation. For this they wilfully
forget that, by the word of God, the heavens were
(07:46):
of old, and the earth standing out of water, and
in the water by which the world that then existed perished,
being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth,
which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved
for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of
(08:06):
ungodly men. But beloved, do not forget this one thing,
that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness, but
is long suffering toward us not willing that any should perish,
(08:31):
but that all should come to repentance. That's Peter tewod
Peter chapter three, verses one through nine. People were doubting
the Second Coming. I've heard it all, I've heard every belief,
I've seen it all. It seems like all of those
things are percolating at the same time, seeping out there
(08:53):
as a virus, a virus of deception. That's what we're
going to talk about to the Lord wants to talk
about last night, or the night before last. Actually, I
was awake between three and five. It's usually the time
where I wake up for various reasons, and I lay
(09:14):
there and I pray, and the Lord shares things with me,
and he's concerned about the deception and the church. We're
going to talk about the danger of deception. But you
see right here in Tewo Peter chapter three, people had
begun to doubt, and there were those that fermented those doubts,
and doubts, once spoken spread like a cancer. Doubts become
(09:37):
facts in their minds, and self deception takes place. Mark
Twain once said, it's easier to fool people than to
convince them that they've been fooled. Well, it seems to
be the way these days. People are easier to fool
(09:59):
rather than trying to convince them of the truth because,
to quote George Orwell, during times of universal deceit, telling
the truth becomes a revolutionary act. Well, right now, the
church is in need of a revolution of truth. Deception.
Being deceived is rampant. A person is deceived if they're
(10:24):
here of the word and not a doer. James tells
us that in James one point twenty two. A person
is deceived when they say they have no sin. Well,
we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
We need a savior, we need redemption, We need to
be born again. A person is deceived if they think
(10:46):
themselves to be something when they're nothing. Social media is
rampant with that. That's from Galatians six'. THREE a bunch
of people out. There everybody's a prophet these. Days everybody's
of this or that or this title or that, title
and the sheep just bah and follow them. ALONG a
person is deceived when they think themselves be wise with worldly.
(11:11):
Wisdom For corinthians three. EIGHTEEN a person is deceived when
they seem to be, religious but do not bridle their
Tongue james one twenty. SIX a person is deceived when
they think they will not reap what they Sow galatians six.
SEVEN i don't care if you're born. Again whatever seeds you,
(11:33):
plant that's the crop you're gonna. Get and if you
have planted, weeds you're gonna get. WEEDS a person is
deceived when they think that evil company will not corrupt good.
Morals One corinthians fifteen thirty. Three you have to be
careful who you associate. With i'm not saying hied in
(11:54):
your house and pull the shades down and lock the.
Doors What i'm saying, is if you're going to go
out there into the, world remember that you're in the,
world but not of the, world and act. Accordingly don't
go along to get. Along if you have to get
up and leave, somewhere then get up and. Leave but
do not, compromise and do not ruin your. WITNESS a
(12:19):
person is deceived when they think that the unrighteous will
inherit The kingdom Of, god that they will get to
heaven just as they are One corinthians six.' nine you're
not getting anywhere without your name being written In The
lamb's Book. Of, life well you will. Get somewhere, i'm
sorry let me take. That back you won't be, Going
(12:41):
up you'll be taking the. ESCALATOR down i know people
don't want to. Hear it that's not a friendly word.
To give but we have to be bold enough to
tell the truth and then when they don't like it
that that's the Word, of god and that's. His rules
if you have a problem, with it take it up.
With him we're living in a time. Of deception. You
(13:04):
Know before peter made that statement In tewod PETER that
i read to you in, chapter three he laid out
the premise in, chapter two if we Go To teco,
peter two verses one, through three he sets the stage for.
That statement but there will also be false prophets among,
the people even as there will be false teachers. Among
(13:26):
you you will secretly bring in, destructive heresies even Denying
the lord who, brought them and bring on themselves. Swift
destruction and many will follow their, destructive ways because of
whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness
they will exploit you with deceptive words for a. Long
(13:49):
time their judgment has not, been idle and their destruction
does not slumber by covetousness. For money they will. Exploit
you it's assumed that leaders are trustworthy and they shouldn't
exercise authority in a. Controlling manner but that assumption is
exactly that. An assumption it's not always. The way wolves
(14:15):
get in hirelings are put in charge. Of flocks teachers
are allowed to teach that never should have been allowed.
To teach they don't have a calling to. Do It,
Forgetting james, Chapter three, Verse one dear brothers, and sisters
not many of you should become teachers in, the church
(14:35):
for he who teach will be judged. More strictly if
we're TEACHING like i am, Right now god's going to
hold me accountable FOR everything. I, say thankfully there are
times will grab a hold of my TONGUE before i
say what my mind wants. To say we need to
be living a life in Which The holy spirit can
(14:56):
move freely through us and two others. The churches it's worse.
The enemy the thing about this topic That the lord
showed me is that deception within the church is not,
just rampant. It's common the. Greatest deception the greatest danger
(15:21):
To the church is from. The inside. You know the
first one Of two peter about false prophets among. The
people it's always been. That way Even, in israel they
had false prophets say things that were Not. From god The,
Socil lord, i'm sorry he doesn't really speak. Like that
that's the way it was written by those who interpreted
(15:45):
the documents and the scrolls and. The letters definitely doesn't
speak in The Old. King james but just because you
Lay the lord's name on something doesn't make. It him
and you better be careful because you're taking his name
in vain when you lay his name on something he did.
Not say the thing about deception is it can be
wrapped in. A truth you can wrap that lie in
(16:08):
the truth like a pig and a blanket those little
old 'uvs and people will fall. For it they can't separate.
The two, you know what about when the people come
AND say i Am. The, messiah well first, of, all no.
You're not second, of all if you say that He's,
the messiah but your life doesn't match, your Confession The
(16:32):
holy spirit's going to reveal that. TO me i am
so amazed to see so many of my brothers and
sisters so easily. Fooled well one of the biggest topics
In the lord's final days of ministry was about Being
deceived luke, twenty one. Verse eight take heed that you not,
be deceived for many will come in my NAME saying I,
(16:55):
am he and the time has. Drawn near therefore do
not go. After them They confessed Jesus, as lord but
there's no fruit of him on. Their tree that's the
one Thing that i'm not SURE why i picked up
on immediately after. Getting saved first, OF all i had
been deceived from the majority of my life following a
(17:16):
particular religious tradition that had been given to me. On birth,
at birth and when my eyes, WERE opened i had
a knee jerk reaction to, that deception kind of like
an alcoholic has to a being. AROUND alcohol i. WAS
offended i was angry for being deceived and believing it
(17:40):
because it was told to me in such a WAY
THAT a i could, not QUESTION AND b i just
didn't think that they'd lie to me. About it but
what's the fruit on? Their tree matthew, seven thirty. Verse
fifteen this is the amplified beware of the false prophets
features who come. To you you dress, this sheep appearing gentle,
(18:02):
and innocent but inwardly a. Ravenous wolves by their fruit
you will, recognize them, that is by their contrived doctrine and.
Self focus do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs.
From thistles, even so every healthy tree bears, good fruit
(18:22):
but the unhealthy tree bears. BAD fruit a good tree
cannot bear, bad fruit and nor can a bad tree bear.
Good fruit every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into. The, fire therefore by
their fruit you will recognize them as. False prophets now
(18:46):
we go into the second phase of, this statement.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Verse.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Twenty one not everyone who says, To Me, lord lord
will Enter the kingdom, of heaven but only he who
does the will of, my father who is. In heaven
many will say to me on that DAY when i,
Judge Them, lord lord have we not prophesied in, your
name driven out demons in, your name and done many
miracles in? Your name AND then i will declare to,
(19:13):
THEM publicly i never. Knew you depart. From me you
are banished from, My presence you who act wickedly disregarding.
My commands it's going to be a lot of shocked
people on that day what we're. Dealing with even right
(19:33):
NOW as, i speak in, this world the lie of
the serpent, still flourishes and the sheep equick to eat.
Its FRUIT and i, Get it, BELIEVE me. I do
it's hard to. Stand up it's hard, to, say hey
that doesn't line up with. The, word well actually it's
not that hard. For me but you're going to. Be
(19:57):
persecuted you're going to be rejected if you say that's,
not true that's not in, the word that's. Not scriptural
you can even take it a step further, and say
from what you just said and the way, YOU act
i have to wonder do you even? Know him you,
know religion you know particular dues and don'ts and regulations,
(20:23):
And beliefs but do you know him and does he?
Know you persecution will lead some to abandon their loyalty, To.
You sue and once they, do that they'll believe in
and accept. The lies they'll DO as, I say they'll
(20:44):
go along to. Get along and That's the lord warned
Us from matthew thirteen twenty one In the parable of
the sower that those that endure for a while tribulation
and persecution. Will come and because because of, the word
and they'll, immediately stumble. They'll fall and actually that means to.
(21:05):
Fall away, another parable he said in verses twenty four and.
Twenty Five the Kingdom of heaven is like a man
who sowed good seed in, his field but while, men
slept his enemy came and sowed terrors among the wheat
and went. His, way well that Enemy, is satan and
(21:26):
the fallen angels in their, demonic offspring the kingdom, of
darkness if you want to put it under. One label
and the thing about terror is is they closely resemble
wheat and are poisonous. To humans they're indistinguishable from wheat
until the final. Fruit appears you have to see. The
(21:48):
fruit does a person behave like a believer by, their
actions by? Their words does it appear that they? Know
him and farmers would weed out tears just before the,
wheat harvest Just like messiah when, he returns both genuine
(22:10):
and counterfeits will be harvested at the. Same time therefore
they're allowed to remain together. To grow why couldn't you, Just,
say lord take them all, Out, now well he's not
going to damage the good wheat by yanking out. The
terrors and if you've ever been in leadership in a fellowship,
(22:32):
or congregation sometimes people have to. Be removed sometimes people
have to be asked, to leave and they do damage
on the, way out and there will. Be casualties but
sometimes for the sake of, the flock you have to.
Do it so how do we fall? For this stand
(22:52):
for something and fall? For everything what do you? Stand
for do you stand For? The word do you stand For?
The Lord one, john's four starting, verse, one beloved do
not believe, every spirit but test the spirits whether they Are,
of god because many false prophets have gone out into.
The world by this you know the Spirit. Of god
(23:15):
every spirit That confesses Jesus the messiah has come in
the flesh Is. Of god and every spirit that does
not Confess that Jesus the messiah has come in the
flesh is Not. Of god and this is the spirit Of,
the antichrist which you have heard was coming and is
now already in. The world the spirit Of the antichrist
(23:40):
has been here for a very very, long time and
periodically it rises up takes over a leader, or leaders
and it tests the church to see if they're ripe for.
The taking it's doing that. Right now The things i'm
seeing people fall for that should be so obvious are
(24:03):
the tongue of the serpent indicates to me the church is.
In DANGER and i think that's why the seriousness of
this message and the importance of it has been given.
TO me, i mean Look in matthew, twenty four when
they ask him what are the signs of your coming
and the kingdom and all the things that they're, looking
(24:25):
for he starts out with what Twenty four matthew, twenty four,
Verse four take heed that no one. Deceives you take
heed that no one. Deceives you be mindful of the
possibility of. Being deceived, take notice. Be, Aware beware i'm saying. To.
(24:53):
You beware it has to line up with. The word
it has to line up With. The lord it has
to line up with prophecy or what his, will is
not what, we want not what, society wants not what a, particular, denomination,
abomination group. Whatever wants he's the one who wrote. The
(25:18):
book he's the one who said the prophecy into the
mouths of. The prophets it, will happen just as He
said luke, twenty one, verse eight. Same thing take heed
that you not. Be deceived for many will come in
my NAME saying I, am he and the time has. Drawn,
(25:40):
near therefore do not go, after them do not. Follow
them And when i'm saying to you, right now there
are false prophets and false teachers out there in the
congregations on. Social media social media has become the biggest
(26:01):
repository of false, teachings ever and it's only going to.
Get worse many are. Being deceived they're being deceived, about
prophecy they're being Deceived, About israel they're being deceived About The,
(26:22):
second coming they're being deceived about being a part of,
the church being. A believer, so deception that was his
primary focus as he began to explain the signs of the.
End times, SO therefore i would propose to you that
deception is a sign of the. End times for the
(26:46):
church they, believed it why. Shouldn't we and you KNOW
when i, say THIS and i want you, to understand
it's because of How much he loves you AND that
i care. FOR you i don't want to see you
go through the harm that comes from dancing with the
devil with the music. Of deception there will be a price.
(27:10):
To pay do not, follow Them, tewod thessalonians, chapter two starting.
Verse seven i'm going. To Stop Their holy spirit wants me.
To stop you need to understand how much he. Loves
you but you also need to understand that he's given us.
Free will and if you persist in ignoring the conviction
(27:35):
Of The holy spirit and want to walk the path,
to destruction he will let you have. Your CHOICE and
i know we, would, Think, well lord just grab me
by the scruff of my neck and put me back
on the path and force me to. Walk, right no
he's not going to. Do that he's given you. The
word he's given you voices to tell you. The truth
(28:01):
now you have to choose what will. You Believe second,
thessalonians two starting, verse seven for the mystery of lawlessness
is already. At work only he capital h who, now
restrains will do so until he is taken out of,
the way and then the lawless one will, be revealed
(28:26):
Whom the lord will consume with the breath of his
mouth and destroy with the brightness of. His coming the
coming of the lawless one is according to the Working,
of satan with, all power signs and, lying wonders and
with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they
(28:47):
did not receive the love Of, the truth that they might.
Be saved and for This reason god will send them,
strong delusion that they should believe, the lie that they
all may be condemned who do not believe the truth
but had pleasure, in unrighteousness the deception of others, by
(29:09):
individuals usually for the sake of their, own interests so their,
own safety even their. Own pride that's the kind of deception.
We're Seeing and scripture condemns such pretense and demands honesty
from believers at. Every point, that pretense that word pretense means,
(29:33):
a khan, a hoax or a sham practiced by people
for their, own interests.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
For profit.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
For popularity people that just say ridiculous things and they
just get re posted, and Retweeted and i'm. JUST astounded
i look at it, and go how can you not
realize you just stepped in manure because what there's, saying
stinks it's. Not true In, The strongs Greek and, hebrew
(30:08):
dictionary that, word deceive it's the cause, to wander, to,
lead astray, to air to believe something that's not true
again in order to gain some. Personal advantage some of
the synonyms for this, swindle, defraud, cheat. TRICK hoodwink i like, that, word, hoodwink,
(30:30):
hoax doup, take, in, mislead delude, full outwit, lead, on beguile.
Double cross it's so deep in. Its meaning deception is
a failure to admit to yourself that something is. Not
true you, Hear it it doesn't line up with, the
(30:53):
word but you kind of want. It to you've just.
Deluded yourself deception starts. From within deception starts with. The
familiar deception starts with. A misdirection hey look, over here
did he really? Say that, and ULTIMATELY and i think
(31:14):
the core of this message is deception is. A choice
the greatest example OF that i can offer to you
is In the Garden Of eden genesis. Chapter three now
the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the
field Which The lord god. Had made and he said to,
the Woman has god indeed said you shall not eat
(31:38):
of every tree of the garden. Right there he's testing
her knowledge of what. He said and the woman said to,
the serpent we may eat the fruit of the trees of.
The garden but the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of, The garden god, has said you
shall not, eat it nor shall you touch it lest.
You die, he said didn't say anything about touch eaves
(32:00):
got a problem in. Her recollection. Verse four then the
serpent said to, the woman you will not, surely Die
for god knows that in that day you eat, of
it your eyes will, be opened and you will Be,
like god knowing good. And evil. Verse six. Very powerful
(32:21):
so when the woman saw that the tree was good,
for food that it was pleasant to, the eyes a
tree desirable to make, one wise she took of its fruit,
And ate and she also gave it to a husband,
with her and. He ate and then the eyes of
both of them, were opened and they knew that they.
(32:42):
Were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made.
Themselves coverings and when they heard the sound Of The
lord god walking in the garden in the cool of,
the Day and adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence Of the lord among the trees of, the
garden something they'd never. Done before god called Out to adam,
and said where? Are you and, HE said i heard
(33:05):
your voice in, the GARDEN and i was AFRAID because i,
was NAKED and i. Hid Myself and, god said who
told you you? Were naked have you eaten from the
tree OF which i commanded you that you should? Not
eat and the, man said the woman whom you gave
to be, with me she gave me of, the TREE and.
(33:26):
I ate And The lord god said to, the woman
what is this you? Have done and the, woman said
the serpent, deceived ME and i ate, no accountability taking,
no responsibility neither one. Of them what is this you?
Have done the serpent beguiled and, deceived ME and i
(33:49):
ate from the. Forbidden tree he tricked me into making a.
BAD choice i offer to you that eve chose to.
Be deceited look at. The wording when the woman saw
that the tree was good, for food that it was
pleasant to, the eyes the lust of, the eyes a
(34:10):
tree desirable to make, one wise the lust of the
flesh and the pride. Of life she took of its fruit,
And ate and she also gave it to a husband,
with her and. He ate that's how quickly deception spreads
from one, to another like. A cancer within, the church
(34:31):
within a Congregation within, god's people the lust of, the
eyes the lust of, the flesh and the pride. Of
life satan knows what buttons. To push there's ANOTHER example
i want to offer you. About deception It's The golden
calf Episode next itu is, thirty two and just as,
A reminder moses has ascended to the Top Of mount
(34:55):
sinai to receive the Law. From god and he's up
there for, a while and the People of israel grow
impatient when he does not. Immediately return so what do?
They do They pressure aaron to make gods to. Lead
Them since moses is, not here we, Need gods and
for SOME reason i still don't From all, i've read
(35:17):
Understand why aaron gave in. So quickly but he wasn't
yet the erran he. Would become he collected gold from,
The people he fashioned a, molten calf and he declared
it To, the israelites the god who brought them Out,
of egypt and established a festival and sacrifices. Around it
So when moses comes down from, the mountain he sees,
(35:39):
the idolatry sees what's, going on sees the foolishness, and
all and he smashes, the tablets and he destroys. The
calf he, burns it burns it to, the ground burns
it into a powder which he scatters onto water and
makes the. People drink then he punished the ring leaders
(36:00):
and Interceded with god to avert complete Destruction because god
was about to destroy. Them all that's how. Deception works fear.
And impatience we can't. We're afraid we don't want to Wait.
On god we don't want to wait on. Whatever's Happening
and moses's prolonged absence left a leadership vacuum, and anxiety
(36:23):
and people will seek tangible reassurance when things, become uncertain and,
for them a visible idol filled that. Emotional need we
do it now with people, and things and a syncretism.
Was happening they were familiar with. The imagery and syncretism
is the blending or merging of different beliefs or practices
(36:45):
or schools, of thought particularly in. A, religion NOW when
i say that, to you think of a religion that
has assimilated beliefs and practices and idols and things into,
the church incorporates elements from various traditions to create a
new unified system under a, new label and the calf
(37:07):
the young bull was common. To them To The near,
eastern Religions the canaanites And, the egyptians they all had.
Bold deities and So, the israelites having Been in egypt
for all, those years borrowed familiar symbolic forms to represent.
Divine power so you had. A misdirection you had a
reinterpretation of who brought them Out, of egypt turning the
(37:31):
memory of divine salvation into, something visible an object that they.
Can worship recasting gave the Continuity of israel's past rather
Than accepting god's new direction for their relationship, with him
and you had a. Leadership failure Aaron was, moses's brother,
(37:52):
and AGAIN like, i said he wasn't the leader he.
Would become he legitimized the act by going along and
making the image, and order organizing, the rights and, his
compromise the compromise, of Leadership gave idolatry the institutional cover
and reduced the resistance of. The people when, leaders fail the.
(38:14):
People fell and then you had the group dynamics of
social pressure and all that's. Going on so once they
began celebrating and. Offering sacrifices it's very common that through
the pressure, and conformity people. Joined in why not public
ritual reinforces the new practice, pretty quickly, come on what?
(38:36):
Would it what would? It harm just join in here
with this dancing and everything that. We're doing and they
offered sacrifices and were feasting. Burnt offerings they were sacrificing
things to, this idol and they were in revelry. And
dancing and some, people, say well they were, just dancing
But some hebrews scholars and teachers believe know that dancing
(38:58):
was like the sexual fertility rites Of. The canaanites possibly
there were orgies. Going on there was horrible sin in. The,
camp also that idolatous worship would Replace the god that,
saved them a very explicit act, of apostasy of, falling
(39:21):
away the worshiping of an image Instead. Of GOD and
i offer to you that part of. The problem and
this isn't, an excuse But the Israelites confused god's power with,
visible signs and so they needed to. See something they
needed a sensory experience or a. Physical representation these were
(39:44):
people that had Been in egypt for so. Many years
this was normal. To them it shouldn't. Have been they.
Knew better one of THE things i want you to
get from This that israel's. Covenant unfaithfulness in this episode
With The, golden calf the danger of substituting idols for
their covenant Relationship with god is more than Likely why
(40:10):
god put that In The Ten commandments exodus twenty. Verse
four you shall not make for yourself any idol or,
any likeness form or manifestation of what is in, heaven
above or on the, earth beneath or in the water under,
the earth as an object. To worship you shall not,
worship them nor serve them For either Lord. Or god
(40:32):
and a Jealous impassion god demanding what is rightfully and,
uniquely mind Which means god does not tolerate, the transfer
the honor and the worship that is Due to him
to any other being, or object not, an angel not,
(40:53):
a person. Not anything if you are told, to inspired
or say it's normal or a part of a particular
denomination to do, such things you know it does not
line up with. The word his divine transcendence cannot be
(41:15):
matched with human tendencies. Towards idolatry they. Don't work they don't.
Go together they are oil. And water and so What does.
Moses do he destroys, the calf and he, intercedes BECAUSE like,
I said god was going to kill. Them all so
he makes the people drink the gold dust with. The
(41:38):
water and then a lot of the, people, said yeah we,
Don't care we're going to keep doing it, This way
we're going to party like it's nineteen. Ninety nine well maybe.
Not that they might not have, done that but they,
were partying and they refuse, to repent and they persisted in.
Their rebellion and So if moses told the Tribe, of
(41:59):
levi strap on a sword and kill everyone that is,
still partying and it says three thousand men were killed
that we don't know how many women were killed along,
with them but a lot of. People died why because
deception spreads quickly and they needed to see that sin. Has, Consequences,
(42:22):
oh richard we're. Under grace he won't do, That, now
really do you not pay attention to The word judgment
is coming on. This world it happened, once before it will.
Happen again it was something the early church dealt with.
Almost Immediately tewod corinthians eleven thirteen, through fifteen for such
(42:45):
a false apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into Apostles, of
messiah and no Wonder for satan himself transforms himself into
an angel. Of light therefore it's no great thing if
his ministers also transform themselves into ministers, of righteousness whose
(43:06):
end will be according to. Their works stating, Very clearly
satan has planted ministers within the church masking. A Raid
oh i'm an angel, of light look, At me so
what do? We see just Like IN, genesis iii his
main tool is why. It's deception he doesn't force anyone to.
(43:30):
Do anything he tricks us into choosing something Other than
god and his best. For us so we get back, to, deception, beguilement,
deceit bluff getting people to believe things that are, not true.
Half truths it still sounds like. A truth it's a. Half,
(43:50):
truth no a half truth is still, a, lie propaganda slight, of.
Hand distraction i'm hoping is that you first a received.
This word because it's a, hard word you'll have your,
eyes open you'll be more in tune with, questioning things.
(44:13):
Examining things and if it's a, half truth then you
know it's a. Full lie this topic of deception is.
So Important the bible ones frequently. Of deception there are
numerous passages who are Both the old And The, new
testament addressing the dangers of falsehoods and, false teachers and
(44:34):
warning the Children of god and believers to remain vigilant against,
false teachings against, misleading doctrines against. Deceitful practices it's a
theme that you find Throughout the old And The, new
testament emphasizing the importance, of discernment, spiritual discernment and adherence
(44:58):
to the Truth of. God word that's WHY whenever, i
teach even in My Book The, supernatural battle if it
doesn't line up with, the word throw. It out if you're,
not sure set. It aside check. The word in, MY
writings i always give you the WORD that i base
ON what. I teach THAT'S why i give you so.
(45:19):
MUCH scripture i give You the hebrew And. THE greek
i give you what was going. ON today i give
you context with. THE content i did that, early On
as god began to reveal things, TO me i began
to show me Things that i'd never, seen BEFORE and
i began to. QUESTION them i began to have a
knee jerk reaction, to them and he, understood that having
(45:42):
come out of the occult In The, new age some
of the things he was showing me the enemy had
used to. Deceive me but then he took me to.
The scriptures he took me To, the Hebrew, the greek
Or the aramaic or whatever, it was to show me
how they had taken a lie and wrapped it around
his truth and feed it. To me we need to
(46:04):
be grounded in. The world That's what paul. Is, saying
believers be grounded, in truth and you will avoid being
swayed by. False teachings and maybe That's why i'm so
adamant about. It now maybe THAT'S why i have such
a a knee jerk reaction to it NOW when i,
see IT because i know what. Deception does it, Destroys
(46:28):
lives it, Destroys futures it. Destroys families and the. Enemy
wins the enemy gets, a trophy the enemy gets a
notch and. Its belt you know the other thing that
has come. To me and there are a lot of
people out there you just want to look at them,
and say. Grow up when you were, a child you
did things as. A child but you're not a. Child
(46:48):
anymore put away. Childish things there's no. More excuse paul
Says in ephesians four fourteen that we should no longer
be children tossed to, and fro carried about with every
wind of doctrine by the trickery of men and the
cunning craftiness of. Deceitful plotting we are no. Longer children
(47:12):
were no longer, spiritually immature tossed back and forth like
ships on a, stormy sea carried about by every wind of,
shifting doctrine by the cunning and trickery of, unscrupulous men,
unscrupulous teachers, unscrupulous leaders by the deceitful scheming of people
ready to do anything for. Personal profits hal pushes the
(47:40):
importance of spiritual masturity and doctrinal stability in resisting deception and,
the key the crucial factor in all this Is The
holy spirit and his role in guiding believers into all
truth and protecting them. From deception john sixteen thirteen. The
(48:01):
amplified but, when He the Spirit, of, truth comes he
will guide you into, all truth full and. Complete truth
for he will not speak on his, own initiative but
will speak whatever he hears From the father the message regarding,
the son and he will disclose to you what is
to come in. The FUTURE whenever i see both the
(48:25):
people spouting the deception and those that are, receiving it
ALMOST always i can predict what belief structure they, come
from and the fact that they are not. Spirit filled
the indwelling presence Of The holy spirit empowers believers to
(48:45):
discern the truth from error and to remain faithful to
the teachings Of. The lord over and over again the
warning Come two timothy. Three thirteen evil men and impostors
will grow worse and worse deceiving and. Being Deceived the
(49:06):
greek word for impostors can also mean sorcerers. And swindlers
deceiving and being deceived means false teachers deceived themselves as well.
As OTHERS and i will stayed unequivocally all Deception, is
satanic no matter its intent or. Its origins HOW do
(49:28):
i Know that revelation, Twelve nine so The great dragon was,
cast out the serpent, of old called the Devil, and
satan who deceives the. Whole world he was cast to,
the earth and his angels were cast out. With him
Remember what, eve said the serpent, deceived ME and i
(49:50):
ate that's what. He is he's, A liar he's. A
deceiver he gets us to. Rebel away Glatians, One ape
paul says to the Church. In glacia but even if
we are an angel, from heaven preach any other gospel
to you than what we have preached, to you let
(50:11):
him be a cursed let him be condemned. To destruction
now Why would paul, Say something why would he be
so adamant, about that to curse them, to destruction to
condemn them. To Destruction two corinthians eleven two through four, tell,
us why SAYS for i am jealous for you with
(50:31):
the Jealousy of. GOD himself i promised you as a
pure bride to, One. Husband MESSIAH but i fear that
somehow your pure and undivided Devotion to messiah will, be
corrupted Just as eve was deceived by the cunning ways of.
The serpent you happily put up with whatever anyone, tells
(50:53):
you even if they preach A, different jesus A different
yeshua than the one, we preach or a different kind
of spirit than the one, you received or a different
kind of gospel than the one. You believed how does this?
Keep happening i'm glad. YOU asked i haven't answer to.
That question it's in man's nature to. Be deceived it's
(51:17):
in human nature to fall for. The lie how, HE
felt i. DON'T know i. Really don't could it be
because she was made from the Rib, Of adam she
was Taken, from adam and she wasn't like personally formed
into the ground And had god's spirit. Breathed in But
(51:38):
that adam fell for. It anyway he believed what she
wanted to do was better Than what god told them.
To do why he? DID it i. DON'T know i
have some questions when we. Get there i've got Questions.
For adam i've got Questions for elijah Running. From jezebel
i've got. Some questions got plenty. Of time I'm sure
i'll get. Them answered there was a flaw Already in
(52:01):
eve of. Her eyes she saw, the tree she. Desired
it she wanted to, be wise and this serpent pounced
on what was already going on inside. Of her so
WHY am i? So passionate WHY am i?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Doing?
Speaker 1 (52:18):
THIS hey i care about you more. THAN anything i Love.
THE lord i care About. HIS kingdom i care about
his MINISTRY because i, was deceived and what the enemy did,
to me it almost cost me my family and all
the things that went, with it and ALL that i
suffered and, they Suffered and i've seen other. People suffer
(52:42):
my heart is for, the flock my heart is against.
The ENEMY and i think That's what paul was trying
to Get into timothy to get him to. Rise up In,
two timothy, chapter Four starting worth's, first One, THE amplified
i try ard you in the Presence of god And Of,
messiah yeshuah who is to judge the living and, the
(53:05):
dead and buy in the light of his coming and his,
kingdom herald and preach. The word keep your sense, of urgency,
stand by be at hand. And ready whether the opportunity
seems to be favorable, or unfavorable whether it's convenient, or
inconvenient whether it's welcome or. Unwhelth welcome you as a
(53:28):
preacher Of, the word are to show people in what
way their lives, are wrong, convince them rebuking, and correcting warning,
and urging, encouraging them, being unflagging inexhaustible, in patience and
teaching for the time. Is coming when people will, not
(53:49):
tolerate will not endure sound and, wholesome instruction but having
ears itching for something pleasing, and gratifying they will gather,
to themselves one teacher, after another to a considerable number
chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster errors,
(54:13):
they hold and will turn aside from hearing the truth
and wander off into myths and man. Made fictions we
are SEEING everything i just read to. You today sound
teaching is essential to, spiritual maturity but it will not always.
(54:34):
Be tolerated then will come, a time and we're in
that time when people are going to want teachers that
tell them what they want to hear and make them.
Feel good they will choose to be deceived because it
makes them. Feel good and what's amazing to me and
(54:56):
how this all, came About is israel Liked the church
with concer only falling for. The lies there was a
Scripture in jeremiah that kind of set all. This Off
it's jeremiah, fourteen sixteen and this is the. Amplified version
and the people to whom they are prophesying will be
thrown Out The, israel judah this is a Word to
(55:19):
judah was listening to, the lies and the people to
whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the Streets,
of jerusalem victims of famine. And sword and they will
have no one to, bury them neither them nor, their
wives nor, their sons nor. Their DAUGHTERS for i will
pour out on THEIR own i will pour their own wickedness,
upon them and not only on the impostors posing. As
(55:42):
prophets and here's the key phrase that really triggered this.
For me for the people could not have been deceived
without their. Own consent the people could not have been
deceived without their. Own consent people choose to?
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Be?
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Deceived, Why well jeremiah explains That in, jeremiah seventeen verses nine,
and ten the heart is deceitful above, all things and
is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely. Mortally sick who can,
know it who, can, perceive understand and be acquainted with his,
(56:31):
own art his own heart? And, mind well the answer
is in. VERSE ten I the lord search. THE mind
i try the heart even to give every man according to,
his ways according to the fruit of. His doings And
then jeremiah kind of sums it Up in chapter, twenty
(56:52):
three verse. Twenty six how long shall this state of?
Affairs continue is there any in the hearts of the
prophets who, prophesy falsehood even these prophets of the deception
of their? Own heart how long shall? This continue how
long shall the deception that's going on right? Now continue
(57:15):
will it continue without someone pointing? IT out i can
guarantee you right now that if in EVERY time i
saw A deception i pointed, it out the backlash would
be immediate, and overwhelming and there would be little to
no support of. The CORRECTION so i hope that you
hear the word that we need to stop falling for
(57:39):
the lies and embrace. The truth there were Men in acts,
seventeen Eleven, the, bareans Who when paul shot in, the
synagogues received the message of salvation which led to Faith.
(58:00):
And messiah and they did so with. Great eagerness and
how did they do it by examining the scriptures daily
to see if the things they were being told. Was
true so let me, say this test all things. Against
scripture if it doesn't line up with, the words set,
it aside take it To, the lord take it To The.
(58:23):
Holy spirit follow the example Of the bahreans and strive
for truthfulness. And Integrity this bible, study today for me
is a call to embrace, the truth to resist, the
lies and to cultivate spiritual wholeness, through prayer through, scriptural
(58:47):
study and to openness to the guidance Of The. Holy
spirit the lies and the deception must be confronted and Stopped, In, Jesus,
so father, right now in your name and the name
of Your son ya shu ahmoicek to Exist the messiah
(59:08):
and the power Of The holy spirit by the Fire
from heaven itself that fell Into the throne Room in
jerusalem and flows through. US today i pray that you'd stir,
us up give us eyes, to see ears, to hear
and a heart that cares so much about our brothers
(59:30):
and sisters we lead them away from, the lies back
into the path of righteousness. AND truth i pray anything
that we have accepted that as a lie would be revealed.
TO us i pray that you'd, strengthen us, encourage us and.
Power Us, AND lord i pray for the provision and
(59:53):
the ability to go out and Do what you've called
me to do and confronting. These things setting the, captives
free raising up the remnant and shining the light into,
the darkness exposing everything that the enemy, is doing and
the people that would go. With ME and i pray
(01:00:14):
all these things in the name above, All, Names jesus. You're.
Sure amen May the lord bless you and. Keep you
May the lord make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious. To you May the lord lift up
(01:00:36):
his countenance upon you and give. You peace give. You
Charalam I'm. Richard grund this has been the Porch On
firefall Talk Radio talk bade
Welcome to the Porch on Firefall Talk Radio. I'm Richard Grund.
This is where you find the uncompromised red letter basics
of the Word of God. We focus on the Book
of Acts Church to see how they serve the Lord.
When we do that, we find the Church of Lord
intended and not the One Man created. The Porch is
a non denominational, full gospel approach to the Bible based
(00:45):
on the example of the Book of Acts Church. It
aims to restore the priesthood of the believer while regaining
the world's shaking influence of the early Church. The Church
age isn't over. The Upper Room experience is as much
for today as it was on the day of Pentecost.
It's yours if you want it. We offer you the
(01:08):
Word as the Apostles would have to the Jewish and
gentile believers of their day, using both Yeshua and Jesus.
When speaking of the Lord. We prefer to use the
term Messiah rather than Christ. We believe it more accurately
reflects how he was referred to by those who knew him. Additionally,
(01:28):
we provide definitions in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic when necessary,
so that you get the full understanding of what was
being written. Getting back to basics, It's not just a motto,
it's a mandate from the Lord that we intend to honor.

(02:33):
us if you need prayer. Remember we care about you
sincerely and we are ready to pray for you. I
praise the Lord right now. This is how we do things.
We start out with praise and then prayer. You know,
some people have said, why don't you just get right
to the word. Well, I can't do that. If I'm
going to go into his presence, I am going to
(02:53):
do with praise and thanksgiving. Before I offer my petitions
to him. I praise him. Praise him. Oh do I
praise the Lord God Almighty, for he is wonderful. He
has saved me, he has redeemed me. He has given
us his only begotten son as a sacrificial lamb, the
(03:15):
lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world,
because we were never going to be able to live
up to the law. So Father, thank you, thanking for
loving us so much that you did that. Thank you
for all that you've done, in all that you're doing,
allowing us access to you in the throne room. Lord,
(03:38):
during this time of passover, we are reminded of what
you did on the cross. Who were also reminded that
the tomb is empty. You're not there. You are a
risen savior. You are alive forevermore, and you are our
(03:59):
Lord and savior, our master, our teacher, our friend. We
honor you and we glorify you, and we thank you
for that. We thank you for the Holy Spirit through
our Kadish that you sent back to walk with us,
to teach us, to remind us to lead us into
all truth and to empower us. So we pray right now.
(04:23):
First of all, we pray for the technology and everything
that we're doing, that this word would go forth and
do what you desire it to do. We pray for
our homes, our families, our pets, our possessions, a divine
health and healing, protection from the fallen world that we
live in and all that would seek to do us harm.
We pray for healing and our mortal bodies. We pray
(04:46):
for our brothers and sisters around the world being persecuted
and slaughtered for their faith. We pray for the peace
of Jerusalem. Lord, your word says, pray for the peace
of Jerusalem, and we do. We pray that you would
bless them in a court, and we pray that we
would be able to honor you in word and deed.
(05:08):
Pray for America. We need your guidance, We need your help,
We need your covering, that you would be as shield
about us, the glory and the lifter of our head.
For the fatherless, the widows, the persecuted and the martyred,
the innocence, and those who are victims of injustice, those
who have been forgotten those who are hidden in the
(05:28):
darkness and the shadows. We pray for them. We pray
for the victims of human sex trafficking. Lord. The enemy
is out and about doing what it does, and we
ask that you would inspire us to do what we're
called to do, to rescue them and to help them,
and to expose this. We pray against the plans and
(05:48):
the efforts of the spirit of the Antichrist, the persecution,
the anti Semitism, the division, everything is from that spirit.
So the Lord, we pray that you would give us
the ability to shine, to arise and shine, and for
people to come to their senses. We pray for your
protection and your inspiration, and we pray that you'd open
(06:10):
the doors and provide the provision needed so that we
can do everything that you've called us to do in
this hour. And I pray all these things, and you
shoe his name, Amen.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Beloved, I now write to you the second epistle, and
both of which I stir up your pure minds by
way of reminder, that you may be mindful of the
words which were spoken to you before by the Holy prophets,
and of the commandment of us the apostles of the
Lord and Savior. Knowing this first, that scoffers will come
(07:25):
in the last days, walking according to their own lust,
and saying, where is the promise of His coming? For
since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they
were from the beginning of creation. For this they wilfully
forget that, by the word of God, the heavens were
(07:46):
of old, and the earth standing out of water, and
in the water by which the world that then existed perished,
being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth,
which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved
for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of
(08:06):
ungodly men. But beloved, do not forget this one thing,
that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is
not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness, but
is long suffering toward us not willing that any should perish,
(08:31):
but that all should come to repentance. That's Peter tewod
Peter chapter three, verses one through nine. People were doubting
the Second Coming. I've heard it all, I've heard every belief,
I've seen it all. It seems like all of those
things are percolating at the same time, seeping out there
(08:53):
as a virus, a virus of deception. That's what we're
going to talk about to the Lord wants to talk
about last night, or the night before last. Actually, I
was awake between three and five. It's usually the time
where I wake up for various reasons, and I lay
(09:14):
there and I pray, and the Lord shares things with me,
and he's concerned about the deception and the church. We're
going to talk about the danger of deception. But you
see right here in Tewo Peter chapter three, people had
begun to doubt, and there were those that fermented those doubts,
and doubts, once spoken spread like a cancer. Doubts become
(09:37):
facts in their minds, and self deception takes place. Mark
Twain once said, it's easier to fool people than to
convince them that they've been fooled. Well, it seems to
be the way these days. People are easier to fool
(09:59):
rather than trying to convince them of the truth because,
to quote George Orwell, during times of universal deceit, telling
the truth becomes a revolutionary act. Well, right now, the
church is in need of a revolution of truth. Deception.
Being deceived is rampant. A person is deceived if they're
(10:24):
here of the word and not a doer. James tells
us that in James one point twenty two. A person
is deceived when they say they have no sin. Well,
we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
We need a savior, we need redemption, We need to
be born again. A person is deceived if they think
(10:46):
themselves to be something when they're nothing. Social media is
rampant with that. That's from Galatians six'. THREE a bunch
of people out. There everybody's a prophet these. Days everybody's
of this or that or this title or that, title
and the sheep just bah and follow them. ALONG a
person is deceived when they think themselves be wise with worldly.
(11:11):
Wisdom For corinthians three. EIGHTEEN a person is deceived when
they seem to be, religious but do not bridle their
Tongue james one twenty. SIX a person is deceived when
they think they will not reap what they Sow galatians six.
SEVEN i don't care if you're born. Again whatever seeds you,
(11:33):
plant that's the crop you're gonna. Get and if you
have planted, weeds you're gonna get. WEEDS a person is
deceived when they think that evil company will not corrupt good.
Morals One corinthians fifteen thirty. Three you have to be
careful who you associate. With i'm not saying hied in
(11:54):
your house and pull the shades down and lock the.
Doors What i'm saying, is if you're going to go
out there into the, world remember that you're in the,
world but not of the, world and act. Accordingly don't
go along to get. Along if you have to get
up and leave, somewhere then get up and. Leave but
do not, compromise and do not ruin your. WITNESS a
(12:19):
person is deceived when they think that the unrighteous will
inherit The kingdom Of, god that they will get to
heaven just as they are One corinthians six.' nine you're
not getting anywhere without your name being written In The
lamb's Book. Of, life well you will. Get somewhere, i'm
sorry let me take. That back you won't be, Going
(12:41):
up you'll be taking the. ESCALATOR down i know people
don't want to. Hear it that's not a friendly word.
To give but we have to be bold enough to
tell the truth and then when they don't like it
that that's the Word, of god and that's. His rules
if you have a problem, with it take it up.
With him we're living in a time. Of deception. You
(13:04):
Know before peter made that statement In tewod PETER that
i read to you in, chapter three he laid out
the premise in, chapter two if we Go To teco,
peter two verses one, through three he sets the stage for.
That statement but there will also be false prophets among,
the people even as there will be false teachers. Among
(13:26):
you you will secretly bring in, destructive heresies even Denying
the lord who, brought them and bring on themselves. Swift
destruction and many will follow their, destructive ways because of
whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness
they will exploit you with deceptive words for a. Long
(13:49):
time their judgment has not, been idle and their destruction
does not slumber by covetousness. For money they will. Exploit
you it's assumed that leaders are trustworthy and they shouldn't
exercise authority in a. Controlling manner but that assumption is
exactly that. An assumption it's not always. The way wolves
(14:15):
get in hirelings are put in charge. Of flocks teachers
are allowed to teach that never should have been allowed.
To teach they don't have a calling to. Do It,
Forgetting james, Chapter three, Verse one dear brothers, and sisters
not many of you should become teachers in, the church
(14:35):
for he who teach will be judged. More strictly if
we're TEACHING like i am, Right now god's going to
hold me accountable FOR everything. I, say thankfully there are
times will grab a hold of my TONGUE before i
say what my mind wants. To say we need to
be living a life in Which The holy spirit can
(14:56):
move freely through us and two others. The churches it's worse.
The enemy the thing about this topic That the lord
showed me is that deception within the church is not,
just rampant. It's common the. Greatest deception the greatest danger
(15:21):
To the church is from. The inside. You know the
first one Of two peter about false prophets among. The
people it's always been. That way Even, in israel they
had false prophets say things that were Not. From god The,
Socil lord, i'm sorry he doesn't really speak. Like that
that's the way it was written by those who interpreted
(15:45):
the documents and the scrolls and. The letters definitely doesn't
speak in The Old. King james but just because you
Lay the lord's name on something doesn't make. It him
and you better be careful because you're taking his name
in vain when you lay his name on something he did.
Not say the thing about deception is it can be
wrapped in. A truth you can wrap that lie in
(16:08):
the truth like a pig and a blanket those little
old 'uvs and people will fall. For it they can't separate.
The two, you know what about when the people come
AND say i Am. The, messiah well first, of, all no.
You're not second, of all if you say that He's,
the messiah but your life doesn't match, your Confession The
(16:32):
holy spirit's going to reveal that. TO me i am
so amazed to see so many of my brothers and
sisters so easily. Fooled well one of the biggest topics
In the lord's final days of ministry was about Being
deceived luke, twenty one. Verse eight take heed that you not,
be deceived for many will come in my NAME saying I,
(16:55):
am he and the time has. Drawn near therefore do
not go. After them They confessed Jesus, as lord but
there's no fruit of him on. Their tree that's the
one Thing that i'm not SURE why i picked up
on immediately after. Getting saved first, OF all i had
been deceived from the majority of my life following a
(17:16):
particular religious tradition that had been given to me. On birth,
at birth and when my eyes, WERE opened i had
a knee jerk reaction to, that deception kind of like
an alcoholic has to a being. AROUND alcohol i. WAS
offended i was angry for being deceived and believing it
(17:40):
because it was told to me in such a WAY
THAT a i could, not QUESTION AND b i just
didn't think that they'd lie to me. About it but
what's the fruit on? Their tree matthew, seven thirty. Verse
fifteen this is the amplified beware of the false prophets
features who come. To you you dress, this sheep appearing gentle,
(18:02):
and innocent but inwardly a. Ravenous wolves by their fruit
you will, recognize them, that is by their contrived doctrine and.
Self focus do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs.
From thistles, even so every healthy tree bears, good fruit
(18:22):
but the unhealthy tree bears. BAD fruit a good tree
cannot bear, bad fruit and nor can a bad tree bear.
Good fruit every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into. The, fire therefore by
their fruit you will recognize them as. False prophets now
(18:46):
we go into the second phase of, this statement.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Verse.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Twenty one not everyone who says, To Me, lord lord
will Enter the kingdom, of heaven but only he who
does the will of, my father who is. In heaven
many will say to me on that DAY when i,
Judge Them, lord lord have we not prophesied in, your
name driven out demons in, your name and done many
miracles in? Your name AND then i will declare to,
(19:13):
THEM publicly i never. Knew you depart. From me you
are banished from, My presence you who act wickedly disregarding.
My commands it's going to be a lot of shocked
people on that day what we're. Dealing with even right
(19:33):
NOW as, i speak in, this world the lie of
the serpent, still flourishes and the sheep equick to eat.
Its FRUIT and i, Get it, BELIEVE me. I do
it's hard to. Stand up it's hard, to, say hey
that doesn't line up with. The, word well actually it's
not that hard. For me but you're going to. Be
(19:57):
persecuted you're going to be rejected if you say that's,
not true that's not in, the word that's. Not scriptural
you can even take it a step further, and say
from what you just said and the way, YOU act
i have to wonder do you even? Know him you,
know religion you know particular dues and don'ts and regulations,
(20:23):
And beliefs but do you know him and does he?
Know you persecution will lead some to abandon their loyalty, To.
You sue and once they, do that they'll believe in
and accept. The lies they'll DO as, I say they'll
(20:44):
go along to. Get along and That's the lord warned
Us from matthew thirteen twenty one In the parable of
the sower that those that endure for a while tribulation
and persecution. Will come and because because of, the word
and they'll, immediately stumble. They'll fall and actually that means to.
(21:05):
Fall away, another parable he said in verses twenty four and.
Twenty Five the Kingdom of heaven is like a man
who sowed good seed in, his field but while, men
slept his enemy came and sowed terrors among the wheat
and went. His, way well that Enemy, is satan and
(21:26):
the fallen angels in their, demonic offspring the kingdom, of
darkness if you want to put it under. One label
and the thing about terror is is they closely resemble
wheat and are poisonous. To humans they're indistinguishable from wheat
until the final. Fruit appears you have to see. The
(21:48):
fruit does a person behave like a believer by, their
actions by? Their words does it appear that they? Know
him and farmers would weed out tears just before the,
wheat harvest Just like messiah when, he returns both genuine
(22:10):
and counterfeits will be harvested at the. Same time therefore
they're allowed to remain together. To grow why couldn't you, Just,
say lord take them all, Out, now well he's not
going to damage the good wheat by yanking out. The
terrors and if you've ever been in leadership in a fellowship,
(22:32):
or congregation sometimes people have to. Be removed sometimes people
have to be asked, to leave and they do damage
on the, way out and there will. Be casualties but
sometimes for the sake of, the flock you have to.
Do it so how do we fall? For this stand
(22:52):
for something and fall? For everything what do you? Stand
for do you stand For? The word do you stand For?
The Lord one, john's four starting, verse, one beloved do
not believe, every spirit but test the spirits whether they Are,
of god because many false prophets have gone out into.
The world by this you know the Spirit. Of god
(23:15):
every spirit That confesses Jesus the messiah has come in
the flesh Is. Of god and every spirit that does
not Confess that Jesus the messiah has come in the
flesh is Not. Of god and this is the spirit Of,
the antichrist which you have heard was coming and is
now already in. The world the spirit Of the antichrist
(23:40):
has been here for a very very, long time and
periodically it rises up takes over a leader, or leaders
and it tests the church to see if they're ripe for.
The taking it's doing that. Right now The things i'm
seeing people fall for that should be so obvious are
(24:03):
the tongue of the serpent indicates to me the church is.
In DANGER and i think that's why the seriousness of
this message and the importance of it has been given.
TO me, i mean Look in matthew, twenty four when
they ask him what are the signs of your coming
and the kingdom and all the things that they're, looking
(24:25):
for he starts out with what Twenty four matthew, twenty four,
Verse four take heed that no one. Deceives you take
heed that no one. Deceives you be mindful of the
possibility of. Being deceived, take notice. Be, Aware beware i'm saying. To.
(24:53):
You beware it has to line up with. The word
it has to line up With. The lord it has
to line up with prophecy or what his, will is
not what, we want not what, society wants not what a, particular, denomination,
abomination group. Whatever wants he's the one who wrote. The
(25:18):
book he's the one who said the prophecy into the
mouths of. The prophets it, will happen just as He
said luke, twenty one, verse eight. Same thing take heed
that you not. Be deceived for many will come in
my NAME saying I, am he and the time has. Drawn,
(25:40):
near therefore do not go, after them do not. Follow
them And when i'm saying to you, right now there
are false prophets and false teachers out there in the
congregations on. Social media social media has become the biggest
(26:01):
repository of false, teachings ever and it's only going to.
Get worse many are. Being deceived they're being deceived, about
prophecy they're being Deceived, About israel they're being deceived About The,
(26:22):
second coming they're being deceived about being a part of,
the church being. A believer, so deception that was his
primary focus as he began to explain the signs of the.
End times, SO therefore i would propose to you that
deception is a sign of the. End times for the
(26:46):
church they, believed it why. Shouldn't we and you KNOW
when i, say THIS and i want you, to understand
it's because of How much he loves you AND that
i care. FOR you i don't want to see you
go through the harm that comes from dancing with the
devil with the music. Of deception there will be a price.
(27:10):
To pay do not, follow Them, tewod thessalonians, chapter two starting.
Verse seven i'm going. To Stop Their holy spirit wants me.
To stop you need to understand how much he. Loves
you but you also need to understand that he's given us.
Free will and if you persist in ignoring the conviction
(27:35):
Of The holy spirit and want to walk the path,
to destruction he will let you have. Your CHOICE and
i know we, would, Think, well lord just grab me
by the scruff of my neck and put me back
on the path and force me to. Walk, right no
he's not going to. Do that he's given you. The
word he's given you voices to tell you. The truth
(28:01):
now you have to choose what will. You Believe second,
thessalonians two starting, verse seven for the mystery of lawlessness
is already. At work only he capital h who, now
restrains will do so until he is taken out of,
the way and then the lawless one will, be revealed
(28:26):
Whom the lord will consume with the breath of his
mouth and destroy with the brightness of. His coming the
coming of the lawless one is according to the Working,
of satan with, all power signs and, lying wonders and
with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they
(28:47):
did not receive the love Of, the truth that they might.
Be saved and for This reason god will send them,
strong delusion that they should believe, the lie that they
all may be condemned who do not believe the truth
but had pleasure, in unrighteousness the deception of others, by
(29:09):
individuals usually for the sake of their, own interests so their,
own safety even their. Own pride that's the kind of deception.
We're Seeing and scripture condemns such pretense and demands honesty
from believers at. Every point, that pretense that word pretense means,
(29:33):
a khan, a hoax or a sham practiced by people
for their, own interests.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
For profit.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
For popularity people that just say ridiculous things and they
just get re posted, and Retweeted and i'm. JUST astounded
i look at it, and go how can you not
realize you just stepped in manure because what there's, saying
stinks it's. Not true In, The strongs Greek and, hebrew
(30:08):
dictionary that, word deceive it's the cause, to wander, to,
lead astray, to air to believe something that's not true
again in order to gain some. Personal advantage some of
the synonyms for this, swindle, defraud, cheat. TRICK hoodwink i like, that, word, hoodwink,
(30:30):
hoax doup, take, in, mislead delude, full outwit, lead, on beguile.
Double cross it's so deep in. Its meaning deception is
a failure to admit to yourself that something is. Not
true you, Hear it it doesn't line up with, the
(30:53):
word but you kind of want. It to you've just.
Deluded yourself deception starts. From within deception starts with. The
familiar deception starts with. A misdirection hey look, over here
did he really? Say that, and ULTIMATELY and i think
(31:14):
the core of this message is deception is. A choice
the greatest example OF that i can offer to you
is In the Garden Of eden genesis. Chapter three now
the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the
field Which The lord god. Had made and he said to,
the Woman has god indeed said you shall not eat
(31:38):
of every tree of the garden. Right there he's testing
her knowledge of what. He said and the woman said to,
the serpent we may eat the fruit of the trees of.
The garden but the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of, The garden god, has said you
shall not, eat it nor shall you touch it lest.
You die, he said didn't say anything about touch eaves
(32:00):
got a problem in. Her recollection. Verse four then the
serpent said to, the woman you will not, surely Die
for god knows that in that day you eat, of
it your eyes will, be opened and you will Be,
like god knowing good. And evil. Verse six. Very powerful
(32:21):
so when the woman saw that the tree was good,
for food that it was pleasant to, the eyes a
tree desirable to make, one wise she took of its fruit,
And ate and she also gave it to a husband,
with her and. He ate and then the eyes of
both of them, were opened and they knew that they.
(32:42):
Were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made.
Themselves coverings and when they heard the sound Of The
lord god walking in the garden in the cool of,
the Day and adam and his wife hid themselves from
the presence Of the lord among the trees of, the
garden something they'd never. Done before god called Out to adam,
and said where? Are you and, HE said i heard
(33:05):
your voice in, the GARDEN and i was AFRAID because i,
was NAKED and i. Hid Myself and, god said who
told you you? Were naked have you eaten from the
tree OF which i commanded you that you should? Not
eat and the, man said the woman whom you gave
to be, with me she gave me of, the TREE and.
(33:26):
I ate And The lord god said to, the woman
what is this you? Have done and the, woman said
the serpent, deceived ME and i ate, no accountability taking,
no responsibility neither one. Of them what is this you?
Have done the serpent beguiled and, deceived ME and i
(33:49):
ate from the. Forbidden tree he tricked me into making a.
BAD choice i offer to you that eve chose to.
Be deceited look at. The wording when the woman saw
that the tree was good, for food that it was
pleasant to, the eyes the lust of, the eyes a
(34:10):
tree desirable to make, one wise the lust of the
flesh and the pride. Of life she took of its fruit,
And ate and she also gave it to a husband,
with her and. He ate that's how quickly deception spreads
from one, to another like. A cancer within, the church
(34:31):
within a Congregation within, god's people the lust of, the
eyes the lust of, the flesh and the pride. Of
life satan knows what buttons. To push there's ANOTHER example
i want to offer you. About deception It's The golden
calf Episode next itu is, thirty two and just as,
A reminder moses has ascended to the Top Of mount
(34:55):
sinai to receive the Law. From god and he's up
there for, a while and the People of israel grow
impatient when he does not. Immediately return so what do?
They do They pressure aaron to make gods to. Lead
Them since moses is, not here we, Need gods and
for SOME reason i still don't From all, i've read
(35:17):
Understand why aaron gave in. So quickly but he wasn't
yet the erran he. Would become he collected gold from,
The people he fashioned a, molten calf and he declared
it To, the israelites the god who brought them Out,
of egypt and established a festival and sacrifices. Around it
So when moses comes down from, the mountain he sees,
(35:39):
the idolatry sees what's, going on sees the foolishness, and
all and he smashes, the tablets and he destroys. The
calf he, burns it burns it to, the ground burns
it into a powder which he scatters onto water and
makes the. People drink then he punished the ring leaders
(36:00):
and Interceded with god to avert complete Destruction because god
was about to destroy. Them all that's how. Deception works fear.
And impatience we can't. We're afraid we don't want to Wait.
On god we don't want to wait on. Whatever's Happening
and moses's prolonged absence left a leadership vacuum, and anxiety
(36:23):
and people will seek tangible reassurance when things, become uncertain and,
for them a visible idol filled that. Emotional need we
do it now with people, and things and a syncretism.
Was happening they were familiar with. The imagery and syncretism
is the blending or merging of different beliefs or practices
(36:45):
or schools, of thought particularly in. A, religion NOW when
i say that, to you think of a religion that
has assimilated beliefs and practices and idols and things into,
the church incorporates elements from various traditions to create a
new unified system under a, new label and the calf
(37:07):
the young bull was common. To them To The near,
eastern Religions the canaanites And, the egyptians they all had.
Bold deities and So, the israelites having Been in egypt
for all, those years borrowed familiar symbolic forms to represent.
Divine power so you had. A misdirection you had a
reinterpretation of who brought them Out, of egypt turning the
(37:31):
memory of divine salvation into, something visible an object that they.
Can worship recasting gave the Continuity of israel's past rather
Than accepting god's new direction for their relationship, with him
and you had a. Leadership failure Aaron was, moses's brother,
(37:52):
and AGAIN like, i said he wasn't the leader he.
Would become he legitimized the act by going along and
making the image, and order organizing, the rights and, his
compromise the compromise, of Leadership gave idolatry the institutional cover
and reduced the resistance of. The people when, leaders fail the.
(38:14):
People fell and then you had the group dynamics of
social pressure and all that's. Going on so once they
began celebrating and. Offering sacrifices it's very common that through
the pressure, and conformity people. Joined in why not public
ritual reinforces the new practice, pretty quickly, come on what?
(38:36):
Would it what would? It harm just join in here
with this dancing and everything that. We're doing and they
offered sacrifices and were feasting. Burnt offerings they were sacrificing
things to, this idol and they were in revelry. And
dancing and some, people, say well they were, just dancing
But some hebrews scholars and teachers believe know that dancing
(38:58):
was like the sexual fertility rites Of. The canaanites possibly
there were orgies. Going on there was horrible sin in. The,
camp also that idolatous worship would Replace the god that,
saved them a very explicit act, of apostasy of, falling
(39:21):
away the worshiping of an image Instead. Of GOD and
i offer to you that part of. The problem and
this isn't, an excuse But the Israelites confused god's power with,
visible signs and so they needed to. See something they
needed a sensory experience or a. Physical representation these were
(39:44):
people that had Been in egypt for so. Many years
this was normal. To them it shouldn't. Have been they.
Knew better one of THE things i want you to
get from This that israel's. Covenant unfaithfulness in this episode
With The, golden calf the danger of substituting idols for
their covenant Relationship with god is more than Likely why
(40:10):
god put that In The Ten commandments exodus twenty. Verse
four you shall not make for yourself any idol or,
any likeness form or manifestation of what is in, heaven
above or on the, earth beneath or in the water under,
the earth as an object. To worship you shall not,
worship them nor serve them For either Lord. Or god
(40:32):
and a Jealous impassion god demanding what is rightfully and,
uniquely mind Which means god does not tolerate, the transfer
the honor and the worship that is Due to him
to any other being, or object not, an angel not,
(40:53):
a person. Not anything if you are told, to inspired
or say it's normal or a part of a particular
denomination to do, such things you know it does not
line up with. The word his divine transcendence cannot be
(41:15):
matched with human tendencies. Towards idolatry they. Don't work they don't.
Go together they are oil. And water and so What does.
Moses do he destroys, the calf and he, intercedes BECAUSE like,
I said god was going to kill. Them all so
he makes the people drink the gold dust with. The
(41:38):
water and then a lot of the, people, said yeah we,
Don't care we're going to keep doing it, This way
we're going to party like it's nineteen. Ninety nine well maybe.
Not that they might not have, done that but they,
were partying and they refuse, to repent and they persisted in.
Their rebellion and So if moses told the Tribe, of
(41:59):
levi strap on a sword and kill everyone that is,
still partying and it says three thousand men were killed
that we don't know how many women were killed along,
with them but a lot of. People died why because
deception spreads quickly and they needed to see that sin. Has, Consequences,
(42:22):
oh richard we're. Under grace he won't do, That, now
really do you not pay attention to The word judgment
is coming on. This world it happened, once before it will.
Happen again it was something the early church dealt with.
Almost Immediately tewod corinthians eleven thirteen, through fifteen for such
(42:45):
a false apostles deceitful workers transforming themselves into Apostles, of
messiah and no Wonder for satan himself transforms himself into
an angel. Of light therefore it's no great thing if
his ministers also transform themselves into ministers, of righteousness whose
(43:06):
end will be according to. Their works stating, Very clearly
satan has planted ministers within the church masking. A Raid
oh i'm an angel, of light look, At me so
what do? We see just Like IN, genesis iii his
main tool is why. It's deception he doesn't force anyone to.
(43:30):
Do anything he tricks us into choosing something Other than
god and his best. For us so we get back, to, deception, beguilement,
deceit bluff getting people to believe things that are, not true.
Half truths it still sounds like. A truth it's a. Half,
(43:50):
truth no a half truth is still, a, lie propaganda slight, of.
Hand distraction i'm hoping is that you first a received.
This word because it's a, hard word you'll have your,
eyes open you'll be more in tune with, questioning things.
(44:13):
Examining things and if it's a, half truth then you
know it's a. Full lie this topic of deception is.
So Important the bible ones frequently. Of deception there are
numerous passages who are Both the old And The, new
testament addressing the dangers of falsehoods and, false teachers and
(44:34):
warning the Children of god and believers to remain vigilant against,
false teachings against, misleading doctrines against. Deceitful practices it's a
theme that you find Throughout the old And The, new
testament emphasizing the importance, of discernment, spiritual discernment and adherence
(44:58):
to the Truth of. God word that's WHY whenever, i
teach even in My Book The, supernatural battle if it
doesn't line up with, the word throw. It out if you're,
not sure set. It aside check. The word in, MY
writings i always give you the WORD that i base
ON what. I teach THAT'S why i give you so.
(45:19):
MUCH scripture i give You the hebrew And. THE greek
i give you what was going. ON today i give
you context with. THE content i did that, early On
as god began to reveal things, TO me i began
to show me Things that i'd never, seen BEFORE and
i began to. QUESTION them i began to have a
knee jerk reaction, to them and he, understood that having
(45:42):
come out of the occult In The, new age some
of the things he was showing me the enemy had
used to. Deceive me but then he took me to.
The scriptures he took me To, the Hebrew, the greek
Or the aramaic or whatever, it was to show me
how they had taken a lie and wrapped it around
his truth and feed it. To me we need to
(46:04):
be grounded in. The world That's what paul. Is, saying
believers be grounded, in truth and you will avoid being
swayed by. False teachings and maybe That's why i'm so
adamant about. It now maybe THAT'S why i have such
a a knee jerk reaction to it NOW when i,
see IT because i know what. Deception does it, Destroys
(46:28):
lives it, Destroys futures it. Destroys families and the. Enemy
wins the enemy gets, a trophy the enemy gets a
notch and. Its belt you know the other thing that
has come. To me and there are a lot of
people out there you just want to look at them,
and say. Grow up when you were, a child you
did things as. A child but you're not a. Child
(46:48):
anymore put away. Childish things there's no. More excuse paul
Says in ephesians four fourteen that we should no longer
be children tossed to, and fro carried about with every
wind of doctrine by the trickery of men and the
cunning craftiness of. Deceitful plotting we are no. Longer children
(47:12):
were no longer, spiritually immature tossed back and forth like
ships on a, stormy sea carried about by every wind of,
shifting doctrine by the cunning and trickery of, unscrupulous men,
unscrupulous teachers, unscrupulous leaders by the deceitful scheming of people
ready to do anything for. Personal profits hal pushes the
(47:40):
importance of spiritual masturity and doctrinal stability in resisting deception and,
the key the crucial factor in all this Is The
holy spirit and his role in guiding believers into all
truth and protecting them. From deception john sixteen thirteen. The
(48:01):
amplified but, when He the Spirit, of, truth comes he
will guide you into, all truth full and. Complete truth
for he will not speak on his, own initiative but
will speak whatever he hears From the father the message regarding,
the son and he will disclose to you what is
to come in. The FUTURE whenever i see both the
(48:25):
people spouting the deception and those that are, receiving it
ALMOST always i can predict what belief structure they, come
from and the fact that they are not. Spirit filled
the indwelling presence Of The holy spirit empowers believers to
(48:45):
discern the truth from error and to remain faithful to
the teachings Of. The lord over and over again the
warning Come two timothy. Three thirteen evil men and impostors
will grow worse and worse deceiving and. Being Deceived the
(49:06):
greek word for impostors can also mean sorcerers. And swindlers
deceiving and being deceived means false teachers deceived themselves as well.
As OTHERS and i will stayed unequivocally all Deception, is
satanic no matter its intent or. Its origins HOW do
(49:28):
i Know that revelation, Twelve nine so The great dragon was,
cast out the serpent, of old called the Devil, and
satan who deceives the. Whole world he was cast to,
the earth and his angels were cast out. With him
Remember what, eve said the serpent, deceived ME and i
(49:50):
ate that's what. He is he's, A liar he's. A
deceiver he gets us to. Rebel away Glatians, One ape
paul says to the Church. In glacia but even if
we are an angel, from heaven preach any other gospel
to you than what we have preached, to you let
(50:11):
him be a cursed let him be condemned. To destruction
now Why would paul, Say something why would he be
so adamant, about that to curse them, to destruction to
condemn them. To Destruction two corinthians eleven two through four, tell,
us why SAYS for i am jealous for you with
(50:31):
the Jealousy of. GOD himself i promised you as a
pure bride to, One. Husband MESSIAH but i fear that
somehow your pure and undivided Devotion to messiah will, be
corrupted Just as eve was deceived by the cunning ways of.
The serpent you happily put up with whatever anyone, tells
(50:53):
you even if they preach A, different jesus A different
yeshua than the one, we preach or a different kind
of spirit than the one, you received or a different
kind of gospel than the one. You believed how does this?
Keep happening i'm glad. YOU asked i haven't answer to.
That question it's in man's nature to. Be deceived it's
(51:17):
in human nature to fall for. The lie how, HE
felt i. DON'T know i. Really don't could it be
because she was made from the Rib, Of adam she
was Taken, from adam and she wasn't like personally formed
into the ground And had god's spirit. Breathed in But
(51:38):
that adam fell for. It anyway he believed what she
wanted to do was better Than what god told them.
To do why he? DID it i. DON'T know i
have some questions when we. Get there i've got Questions.
For adam i've got Questions for elijah Running. From jezebel
i've got. Some questions got plenty. Of time I'm sure
i'll get. Them answered there was a flaw Already in
(52:01):
eve of. Her eyes she saw, the tree she. Desired
it she wanted to, be wise and this serpent pounced
on what was already going on inside. Of her so
WHY am i? So passionate WHY am i?
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Doing?
Speaker 1 (52:18):
THIS hey i care about you more. THAN anything i Love.
THE lord i care About. HIS kingdom i care about
his MINISTRY because i, was deceived and what the enemy did,
to me it almost cost me my family and all
the things that went, with it and ALL that i
suffered and, they Suffered and i've seen other. People suffer
(52:42):
my heart is for, the flock my heart is against.
The ENEMY and i think That's what paul was trying
to Get into timothy to get him to. Rise up In,
two timothy, chapter Four starting worth's, first One, THE amplified
i try ard you in the Presence of god And Of,
messiah yeshuah who is to judge the living and, the
(53:05):
dead and buy in the light of his coming and his,
kingdom herald and preach. The word keep your sense, of urgency,
stand by be at hand. And ready whether the opportunity
seems to be favorable, or unfavorable whether it's convenient, or
inconvenient whether it's welcome or. Unwhelth welcome you as a
(53:28):
preacher Of, the word are to show people in what
way their lives, are wrong, convince them rebuking, and correcting warning,
and urging, encouraging them, being unflagging inexhaustible, in patience and
teaching for the time. Is coming when people will, not
(53:49):
tolerate will not endure sound and, wholesome instruction but having
ears itching for something pleasing, and gratifying they will gather,
to themselves one teacher, after another to a considerable number
chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster errors,
(54:13):
they hold and will turn aside from hearing the truth
and wander off into myths and man. Made fictions we
are SEEING everything i just read to. You today sound
teaching is essential to, spiritual maturity but it will not always.
(54:34):
Be tolerated then will come, a time and we're in
that time when people are going to want teachers that
tell them what they want to hear and make them.
Feel good they will choose to be deceived because it
makes them. Feel good and what's amazing to me and
(54:56):
how this all, came About is israel Liked the church
with concer only falling for. The lies there was a
Scripture in jeremiah that kind of set all. This Off
it's jeremiah, fourteen sixteen and this is the. Amplified version
and the people to whom they are prophesying will be
thrown Out The, israel judah this is a Word to
(55:19):
judah was listening to, the lies and the people to
whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the Streets,
of jerusalem victims of famine. And sword and they will
have no one to, bury them neither them nor, their
wives nor, their sons nor. Their DAUGHTERS for i will
pour out on THEIR own i will pour their own wickedness,
upon them and not only on the impostors posing. As
(55:42):
prophets and here's the key phrase that really triggered this.
For me for the people could not have been deceived
without their. Own consent the people could not have been
deceived without their. Own consent people choose to?
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Be?
Speaker 1 (56:09):
Deceived, Why well jeremiah explains That in, jeremiah seventeen verses nine,
and ten the heart is deceitful above, all things and
is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely. Mortally sick who can,
know it who, can, perceive understand and be acquainted with his,
(56:31):
own art his own heart? And, mind well the answer
is in. VERSE ten I the lord search. THE mind
i try the heart even to give every man according to,
his ways according to the fruit of. His doings And
then jeremiah kind of sums it Up in chapter, twenty
(56:52):
three verse. Twenty six how long shall this state of?
Affairs continue is there any in the hearts of the
prophets who, prophesy falsehood even these prophets of the deception
of their? Own heart how long shall? This continue how
long shall the deception that's going on right? Now continue
(57:15):
will it continue without someone pointing? IT out i can
guarantee you right now that if in EVERY time i
saw A deception i pointed, it out the backlash would
be immediate, and overwhelming and there would be little to
no support of. The CORRECTION so i hope that you
hear the word that we need to stop falling for
(57:39):
the lies and embrace. The truth there were Men in acts,
seventeen Eleven, the, bareans Who when paul shot in, the
synagogues received the message of salvation which led to Faith.
(58:00):
And messiah and they did so with. Great eagerness and
how did they do it by examining the scriptures daily
to see if the things they were being told. Was
true so let me, say this test all things. Against
scripture if it doesn't line up with, the words set,
it aside take it To, the lord take it To The.
(58:23):
Holy spirit follow the example Of the bahreans and strive
for truthfulness. And Integrity this bible, study today for me
is a call to embrace, the truth to resist, the
lies and to cultivate spiritual wholeness, through prayer through, scriptural
(58:47):
study and to openness to the guidance Of The. Holy
spirit the lies and the deception must be confronted and Stopped, In, Jesus,
so father, right now in your name and the name
of Your son ya shu ahmoicek to Exist the messiah
(59:08):
and the power Of The holy spirit by the Fire
from heaven itself that fell Into the throne Room in
jerusalem and flows through. US today i pray that you'd stir,
us up give us eyes, to see ears, to hear
and a heart that cares so much about our brothers
(59:30):
and sisters we lead them away from, the lies back
into the path of righteousness. AND truth i pray anything
that we have accepted that as a lie would be revealed.
TO us i pray that you'd, strengthen us, encourage us and.
Power Us, AND lord i pray for the provision and
(59:53):
the ability to go out and Do what you've called
me to do and confronting. These things setting the, captives
free raising up the remnant and shining the light into,
the darkness exposing everything that the enemy, is doing and
the people that would go. With ME and i pray
(01:00:14):
all these things in the name above, All, Names jesus. You're.
Sure amen May the lord bless you and. Keep you

and be gracious. To you May the lord lift up
(01:00:36):
