Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Oh, welcome, Welcome to the Porch. On Firefall Talk Radio,

(00:26):
I'm Richard grind This is when we get back to basics,
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 the Lord intended and not the one
Man created. The Porch is a non denominational, full Gospel

(00:49):
approach to the Bible based on the examples from the
Book of Acts Church. It aims to restore the priesthood
of the believer and regain the world 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.

(01:13):
We offer you the Word as the Apostles would have
to the Jewish and gentile believers of their day. We
use both Yeshiah and Jesus when speaking of the Lord.
We prefer to use the term Messiah rather than Christ,
as it more accurately reflects how he was referred to
by those who knew him. Additionally, we will provide definitions

(01:34):
in Hebrew, Greek, and aramaic when necessary. Getting back to basics,
it's not just our motto, it's a mandate from the Lord.

(02:16):
We appreciate you your support, your prayers, and your encouragement.
Thank you for being here every week with us on
the porch. Contact us if you need prayer. We have
people that want to pray for you because we care
about you. Let's start out with praise. I praise the
Lord for my salvation. I don't know what I would

(02:37):
do in these dark and crazy times without that. I
praise them for my home, my wife, our family, sons,
daughter in law's, grandchildren, furry kids. If you'd like to
keep all of us in prayer, that'd be great too.
I praise Him for that, for his provision and protection
for the dreams and the visions as we live out

(03:00):
Joel II twenty eight. I praise Him for divine health
and healing available to each and every one of us.
I praise Him for his abiding favor in the continuing
revelation of the Holy Spirit, for making me a new
creation and allowing me to live in these prophetic times

(03:20):
to serve him. Let's pray someone twenty two verse sixs
pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Ay they prosper who
love you. A lot of hate going on right now
for Israel, for our Jewish brothers and sisters, and therefore
for Jerusalem, and that is not what God asked us

(03:41):
to do. Pray. Pray for America, Pray for our blessings,
Pray for our protection. Pray for God to forgive us
when we have let him down and disobeyed him, and
for him to shed his grace upon us. I pray
for the people of Iran, those that are being killed

(04:03):
for rising up against this regime that is in power
right now. I pray for the soldiers that are fighting
to free them, and for all the leaders to make
the right decision and stop appeasing evil and set the
people free. I pray for the fatherless, the widows to

(04:23):
persecute it and the martyr, the innocence, and those who
are victims of injustice. I pray against the slaughter of
the innocence, from missing and exploited children, for the victims
of human sex trafficking. I pray for our brothers and
sisters around the world being persecuted and slaughtered for their faith,

(04:43):
their homes and places of worship being destroyed, women and
children being hacked up with machetes simply because they believe
in Jesus. I pray against the religious persecution against the Church,
and the growing anti semit all around the world, clearly
the effort of the spirit of the Antichrist. We need

(05:06):
to pray against that. Pray for divine wholeness, health and
healing for me, for you, for anyone who needs it,
each and every day, all day long. Keep speaking to
things not as they are, but as they should be.
Believe it and receive it. I pray for His protection

(05:26):
and inspiration that the remnant would answer the call to action,
that they would awaken and do what they've been called
to do. For the doors to all the projects and
plans He's given us to open and for the kingdom
finances to flow so that we can do what needs
to be done in this hour. So Father Abbah, Papa Daddy,

(05:51):
we love you, we thank you, we praise you, and
we worship you. We boldly approach the throne of Grace
and mercy, just loving you, wanting to be near you,
wanting to feel your presence in our lives. Lord, thank you,

(06:13):
Thank you for the cross, for the empty tomb, the
upper room. Thank you for sending back the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for paying for our debts. Thank you for
loving us the Holy Spirit. This is your time. Do
as you will. Let the word go forth empowered by

(06:34):
the Holy Spirit. Let eyes be opened and hearts be changed.
Pray for the protection of the technology. And we just
thank you for all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
These lessons are proprietary information, except where not of the
information comes from outside sources. The combination of that information.
The manner presented is exclusive, cannot be repeated or used
without permission. The date of this broadcast serves as the
registered date of the following information. C. S. Lewis said,
you never know how much you really believe anything until

(07:33):
it's truth or falsehood becomes.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
A matter of life and death to you. Well, we're
living in a time right now. We've talked about it,
and other people seem to be talking about about deception.
We've been on this topic for a while. Lord trying
to get us to open our eyes, trying to get
us closer to him so that we're not deceived. But

(07:59):
I read something I wanted to share with you. You
know the story. Drop a frog into boiling water and
it'll scramble out immediately. But place that same frog in
cool water and heat it slowly, degree by degree, and
it will never notice the danger until it's too late.

(08:21):
I've heard it, I've actually used the example. The problem
is it's not true. It traces back the German physiologist
named Friedrich Goltz, who in eighteen sixty nine conducted a
series of experiments with the unusual purpose. He wanted to

(08:42):
determine whether the soul resided in the brain or the
spinal cord. So what he did he removed portions of
a frog's brain and observed what the animal could no
longer do without it. He found that a frog without
parts of its brain would sit placidly in slowly heating

(09:08):
water and not attempt to escape. However, a completely healthy,
normal frog with an intact brain would feel the rising
temperature and jump out. The finding was passed around over
the decades that followed, stripped of its context, which we
talk about is very important, and got reshaped into a

(09:31):
cautionary tail that gets repeated often. Biologists later confirmed the
original finding. A frog in cold water will jump out
before it gets too hot. The frog with a functioning
brain gets out of the water before it can hurt it.
Its capacity to feel the rising temperature, to recognize what

(09:52):
is happening, and to choose to respond is not a
small thing. In fact, in the context of this story,
it is everything. The frog that stayed in the hot
water was the one that could no longer think for itself.
I read that and it immediately made light bulbs go off,

(10:16):
because I feel like there are sections of the church
that have lost their ability to think for themselves. It
accepts things that do not line up with scripture, and
they get into spiritual hot water without even knowing it.
And a case in point is the current governmental alien

(10:38):
disclosure that, according to religious leaders, they're being told to
brace for potential faith crisis I will mention the pastors
by name, but they've gone on YouTube saying that they
were warned by intelligence linked officials that upcoming UFO disclosures

(11:01):
could shake the Christian faith. They claim that the revelations
may depict extraterrestrial life in ways that will undermine the
Bible's creation account, prompting some believers to fall away. And
so these leaders are urging churches to prepare congregations for

(11:21):
questions and potential doubt following the release. Well, my first
thought about that is if that shakes your faith, you
don't have any But let's stay on task here. So,
these upcoming UFO disclosures the causing concern on social media
amongst influencers and Christian leaders, and they want to warn that,

(11:44):
you know, these revelations are going to challenge traditional biblical
beliefs and some may have a crisis of faith and
not know what to believe. They fear that the evidence
of extraterrestrial life may be interpreted as undermining the Biblical
creation story and people to abandon their faith. Now why,

(12:08):
I don't know. We used to cover this a lot
on Reflections in the Dark. Remember we were on the
air from twenty ten to twenty twenty, and we must
have covered this three or four times. I found numerous notes,
and many days we aired a topic about this disclosure,

(12:30):
the Alien Gospel, if you will, some film that was
coming out that was going to present this and deceive people.
So this is nothing new. The concept of UFO disclosure
has been around since the nineteen forties, and the modern
disclosure movement began to get traction in the nineties, and
then after a twenty seventeen New York Times article that

(12:54):
reported the Pentagon's UFO program, it accelerated. Supposedly, presidents and
political figures and other people of power are initiating this disclosure. Now,
I just want to give you a background here show
you that A this is not new, and B all

(13:16):
the people you know warning everybody sound like they're the
first person to have this revelation, and they're not. I
can't tell you how many of us that have been
talking about this since even before twenty ten, two thousand
and seven and on. The UFO disclosure began in the

(13:39):
nineteen forties with something called Project Sign nineteen forty eight.
It was followed by and these government projects, Project Grudge.
Why they got that name, I don't know nineteen forty
nine to nineteen fifty one, and then one that everybody
knows about, Project blue Book nineteen fifty two to nineteen

(13:59):
sixty nine. Blue Book catalog thousands of sightings until it
was closed in nineteen sixty nine. Then the new UAP
unidentified aerial phenomena. They wanted to get away from the
UFO that was formed the governmental agency in twenty seventeen.

(14:22):
Then in twenty two there were congressional hearings and it
hit the news. Now, Project blue Book, the most famous
of mal collected over twelve thousand sightings, most of which
were explained, but seven hundred and one of them remained unidentified.
So when the perception shifted in the nineties, people that

(14:46):
talked about it were ridiculed. People were skeptic, they wanted
more serious investigation. Well then that happened, and that led
to people listening believing more again from a wrong perspective.
I do not believe there aliens from another planet or

(15:07):
another galaxy. I have always said as far back as
twenty ten that they're inter dimensional. And the one thing
that doctor Juck Missler said when he came on reflections
that I'd never thought about till then was these ships
give off a radar signature that means they're solid. They're

(15:31):
not spiritual, they're tangible. They've been created by someone. There
are rumors and even evidence of that the Nazis under
their scientists who we absorbed in Operation paper Clip. We're
working on anti gravitational ships flying saucers. So this is

(15:52):
nothing new. But on June twelfth, interesting timing. On June twelfth,
Steven Spielberg there's a new movie coming out called Disclosure
Day timing. It's amazing how Hollywood is always in on
what the enemy is doing to dumb down society and
set them up for the alien deception for people who

(16:15):
believe in aliens like Spielberg, or desire to believe in them.
The title of the film leaves no doubt to what
it's referring to, and who knows what the response will be.
I've seen the trailers. It fits within Spielberg's paradigm, starting

(16:36):
with et through a TV show he did called Taken,
because he believed his sister had been abducted. This is
personal to him, but as I said, if this shakes
your faith, you don't have any, and that's what we
need to talk about. We need to talk about what

(16:57):
you know. We need to talk about this Bible. And
I know if you're here you have been listening. I
hear from some of you. So you can share this
with your friends and your loved ones. Let's look at
two Timothy, chapter four, starting verse one for a second.

(17:17):
This is the amplified I solemnly charge you in the
presence of God and Messiah yeshu at Christ Jesus, who
is to judge the living and the dead, and by
his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word as an
official messenger. Be ready when the time is right, and
even when it is not. Keep your sense of urgency,

(17:40):
whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient,
whether welcome or unwelcome. Correct those who err in doctrine
or behavior, warn those whose sin exhort and encourage those
who are growing towards spiritual maturity with inexhaustible patience and

(18:05):
faithful teaching. For the time will come, And I say
now is when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and
accurate instruction that challenges them with God's truth, but wanting
to have their ears tickled with something pleasing, they will

(18:26):
accumulate themselves for themselves. Many teachers, one after another, chosen
to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors
they hold, and will turn their ears away from the
truth and will wander off into myths and man made fiction.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I e.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Alien disclosure, and will accept thee unacceptable. But as for you,
be clear headed in every situation, stay calm and cool
and steady, endure every hardship without flinching. Do the work
of an evangelist. Fulfill the duties of your ministry. That's

(19:10):
what I'm trying to do. I take this word seriously.
Not just that word, but all of the word. But
I take it seriously. Paul did he solemnly charged him
with God and the Lord as his witness, Meaning this
is important. Brothers and sisters, listen to me. The demonic

(19:31):
deception and what the enemy is doing and preparing to
do will shake people to their core. So getting back
to basics as a believer is our key to advanced
spiritual warfare. And without the basics, you have no foundation

(19:53):
of framework to work from. Getting back to basics in
this case means dealing with the the enemy's tools of deception, disinformation, misinformation, misdirection.
That's what all of this is. Disinformation is intentionally false
or misleading information that has spread in a calculated way

(20:18):
to deceive a target audience. Disinformation is different from misinformation,
which is information that is unintentionally false, but misinformation can
be used to define disinformation. Where disinformation is misinformation is

(20:39):
when it's purposefully and intentionally disseminated to deceive. In nineteen
eighty one, the then director of the CIA, William Casey,
said something very interesting, and this quote has been confirmed.
He said, we will know our disinformation program is complete
when everything the American public believes is false. That should

(21:04):
tell you that aspects of our government are in on
the deception. Deception is the act of deceiving the state
of being deceived. Synonyms are deceit, deceitfulness, duplicity, double dealing, fraud, fraudulents, cheating, trickery, duping, hoodwinking, underhandedness, cunning, craft,

(21:32):
Who's cunning? We know who cunning is? Satan's cunning, all
of these things lying pretense. This is a part of
what the enemy does and its an intent can also
be to misdirect us, to put us off track. Author

(21:53):
Aldous Huxley said, the effectiveness of political and religious propaganda
depends upon the methods employed, not upon the doctrines taught.
These doctrines may be true or false, wholesome or pernicious,
it makes little or no difference. And I have seen

(22:15):
on this topic and other topics dealing with the demonic.
It's the method that it's presented, and if you have
parts of your spiritual brain missing, you're going to fall
for it. You know. One of the things that jumps
out to me is Matthew twenty four, starting verse three. Now,

(22:37):
as he the Lord sat on the mount of Olives,
the disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us when
these things will be, and what will be the sign
of your coming and of the end of the age.
And Yashua answered and said to them, take heed that
no one deceives you. What's the first thing he said,

(23:01):
Take heed that no one deceives you, misleads you, deceiving
you and leading you into error. Others will be deceived,
but you should not because you have been with me,
because I've sent the Holy Spirit to walk with you
and guide you and teach you. He will remind you

(23:23):
of me and what I said and taught. You've been warned.
It's that important that he started that section would take heed.
No one deceives you. And as I thought about this,
and as I've been working on it, praying about it
and did my pool workout, and of course it's a

(23:46):
great place to pray and talking to the Lord about this.
It really comes down to choose for yourself this day
whom you will serve Joshua at twenty four point fifteen.
But as for me in my house, we will serve
the Lord. I don't care what these scientists say. I

(24:08):
don't care what these politicians say. I don't care what
these social influencers say, or these supposed ex spurts X
has been spurt drip under pressure experts say, As for
me and my house, we will serve and believe in

(24:32):
the Lord that serve as loyalty and commitment. There's nothing
you can say to me to make me change my opinion.
But the early Church suffered with this constant threat of
the world seeping in and tricking them out of their faith.

(24:55):
Tewod Corinthians six, starting verse fourteen, and then we'll take
fourteen through seventeen, and then two Corinthians seventy to one.
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. That's where
the problem starts. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness,

(25:18):
and what communion has light with darkness? And what accord
has Messiah with belial or what part has a believer
with an unbeliever, and what agreement has the Temple of
God with idols? For you are the temple of the
Living God. As God has said, I will dwell in

(25:41):
them and walk among them. I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from
among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not
touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I
will be a father to you, and you shall be
my son's and daughters, says the Lord Almighty, chapter seven,

(26:03):
verse one. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God. And forgive me if
I got a little passionate there. But I am passionate
about this topic because we I'm trying to find the

(26:27):
reflections in the dark show we did to create a compilation.
It means going through a bunch of shows. But we
talked about this. When that craft appears and these things
step out, whether they're in humanoid form or reptilian form,
first of all, let me just touch that really quickly.

(26:49):
I believe these are demons, fallen angels. They're all working
together in a good cop bad cop routine. The humanoid,
the Nordic looking ones are the good cops. The reptilian
ones are the bad cops. They're here to protect us,
they're here to destroy us. They're really all working together

(27:09):
to deceive us. I'm not afraid of them. I will
stand strong in the Lord and the power of his
might and in his name, and whatever happens happens. But
me and my brother and Lord Larry fellow us R

(27:29):
team member, we won't back down. No, we will not
back down. And I believe there will be others. I
believe that there will be others who quote scripture and
stand in their faces and rebuke them and trust the Lord.

(27:50):
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. This is a
command stop yoking yourselves to unbelievers. It's a present imperative
that Paul uses, meaning it's not merely a warning about
a potential danger, like do not start, but he's instructing

(28:14):
them to stop in action that's already in progress. That's
the church today. We need to stop in action, already
in progress, being yoked with unbelievers, coming into an agreement
with the world. So literally, do not be yoked together
with unbelievers means it's like when you take two different

(28:37):
animals and you yoke them to the same plow, like
an ox and a donkey. Different powers, different strength, different abilities.
So what does that do? It makes it go haywire
if it even works at all? And what do righteousness
and wickedness have in common? And what fellowship can light

(28:58):
have with darkness? None? Different set of values, one characterized
by righteousness, the other by lawlessness, which is sin. One
in a commitment to God and the other a commitment
to the world. There's no shared values because one's going

(29:22):
to follow God's will and the other will specifically choose
not to. So there could be no real partnership there.
But why does it keep happening? Deception comes from associating
with and being influenced by those who are deceived. Literally,
bad company corrupts good company the way bad fruit ruins

(29:47):
good fruit. Just by being near it, and that as
we get close to Pentecost, the fire of the Upper
Room that's available to us to day is a holy
and a personal fire from the Throne Room itself that
helps us to do the work of the kingdom in

(30:10):
preparation for the final fire from the Lord. We need
holy fire during these times. We need holy fire when
these deceptions rear their heads. You know, it's a lot
of these scriptures we've been talking about over the last
couple of weeks, and they keep coming up. And I

(30:30):
know the Lord doesn't stutter, and if he's repeating himself,
it's one of two things. It's so important he wants
us to cover it, or be we're not getting it
two Timothy three, Verse one. I but understand this, this
again is the amplified version. Understand this that in the
last days, dangerous times of great stress and trouble will come,

(30:54):
difficult days that will be hard to bear. Oh, if
you think it's better now, folks, you ain't seen nothing yet.
For people will be lovers of self, narcissistic, self focused,
lovers of money, impelled by greed, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient

(31:15):
to parents, ungrateful, unholy, and profane. And they will be unloving,
devoid of natural human affection, callous and inhumane, irreconcilable, malicious gossips,
devoid of self control. They'll be intemperate and immoral, brutal

(31:35):
haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of sensual pleasure
rather than lovers of God, having a form of outward godleness,
which is religion, although they have denied its power, for
their conduct nullifies their claim of faith. Avoid such people,

(32:01):
keep far away from them. Avoid such people, keep far
away from them. Two Timothy three thirteen says, but evil
men and impostors will go on from bad to worse,
deceiving and being deceived. So what's what's Paul doing here?

(32:27):
In two Timothy, He's exhorting and encouraging a young Timothy.
He's under severe spiritual attack. And in this case it's
from it's from other believers, it's from within the church.
And I know that when the time comes that this
alien thing takes off, there's going to be a war

(32:52):
within the Church itself, not just with the war with
the world. I see it online people giving credence to this, saying, oh,
look at that picture that UFO, that's like from the Bible,
that's just like an angel. And I'm thinking, do you
not have the Holy Spirit in you to know that
the enemy is capable of deception? And of course he

(33:15):
would make this in forms of things that matched the Bible.
People so desperate to believe, they're so desperate to have
a supernatural, paranormal experience, they don't even know what they're
talking about. They don't even know what they don't know. See,

(33:36):
he's been setting this up with Timothy two, Timothy one,
I'll just read you thirteen and fourteen. He's been setting
this up. Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching
you learned from me, a pattern shaped by faith and
love that you have in Messiah Yeshua, through the power

(33:57):
of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, care reguard
the precious truth that has been entrusted to you. Truth
isn't relative, it's absolute. Truth is in truth because you
believe it or not, it's truth period. It's not open

(34:21):
to interpretation. It doesn't care whether you agree with it.
Deception and being deceived, it causes it causes us to
hide and to cover up. And what do we do?
What does the church do. I say we. I don't
mean us, you and me listening, but I mean we

(34:44):
as in the church, we become seeker friendly and sin friendly.
Oh it's okay, come join us. What's great. Love is good,
that kind of love is good. But condoning their sin
is not. If you don't love them enough to tell
them the truth, it's not love. We don't want to

(35:08):
offend anyone. We don't want to challenge their choices. False
teachers quote scripture but give their own interpretation, which differs
from what the Bible teaches and from what the Church
has historically taught. And what they've done is they've taken

(35:29):
the cure of the Gospel and diluted the solution. And
wondering why nobody's getting saved, healed, and delivered, and what
has happened where we are, especially with this alien gospel thing.
What has happened is people have begun to drink the
kool aid. Now, if you don't know where that expression

(35:51):
comes from, it traces its origins to the Jonestown massacre
in November of nineteen seventy eight, where, through the influence
of a demonically empowered leader Jim Jones, instead of having
his church taken from him by the government that was

(36:14):
raiding him to arrest him. He convinced everybody to drink
kool aid that was laced with poison, and even though
they were being told by other people, don't do it,
you're going to be poisoning, get your family out of here,
they did it. They had such a strong belief in

(36:35):
this deranged individual that they just blindly did it. That's
what's going to happen with this deception and others social
media influencers UFO images that I've mentioned that compare the
description of angels, but they're not angels. There's something the

(36:58):
enemy's doing is a deception. Why can't we see that?
Even Peter warned that Scoffers would come along and they
would even doubt the Messiah's return or the certainty of judgment.
We're seeing that as well. We're seeing so many things

(37:19):
that are telling us the end is close. We cannot
allow ourselves to be shaken by anyone who told you
there's a guy that just making a name for himself.
And this rears has had every couple of years. Oh
Jesus didn't die for our sins. We don't live in

(37:41):
a sacrificial society that was then this is now. I'm
sure the early Church believed it, but it wasn't true.
Even bragged, you know, he had a huge church and
he lost like ninety nine percent of it. But now
he's back bigger than ever with people that agree with them.
Of course you are. You're tickling years. You're a false teacher,

(38:01):
and you're surrounding yourself with sheep that you're leading to
the slaughter the blind, leading the blind into a ditch.
Proof of the end times to me, proof of the apostasy.
We're there. That's why I pound you with scripture week
after week after week, so that it gets into you.

(38:25):
Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God.
And even if you don't have the perfect memory, you'll,
you're a spirit man or woman, will grasp it and
will know that it's there. You might remember where you
heard it. You might even remember where it might be
in the Bible or who might have said it. But

(38:48):
I challenge you, when I give you scripture, look it up,
highlight it, make notes, because when this wave of deception hits,
and it's not even there yet, when it hits, you're
not going to have time to sit oh, I need
to study this, I need to get ready for this. No,

(39:09):
get ready now. We need to concentrate every effort on
our relationship with them, pleasing Him who has delivered us
from sin, the curse of sin and death. If we
do that, we will be untouched by these false teachers,

(39:32):
and the fleeting pleasures of the world might flare up,
but we won't fall for it. See that's what the
Lord tried to do for his disciples. Matthew seven, starting
verse fifteen, Beware of false prophets who come to you
in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves, meaning

(39:54):
they're here to destroy you. You will know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or
figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit,
but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree
cannot bear a bad fruit, nor can a bad tree

(40:14):
bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear a
good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore,
by their fruits you will know them. Stop falling for
the big names, stop falling for the crowds, the smoke
and the mirrors and the lights what kind of fruit

(40:35):
do they produce? And if you don't have it, pray
for the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gift
of the discerning of spirits. Now we did a deep,
deep dive on the gifts and the fruit of the spirit,
I think last year or the year before. It's in there.

(41:00):
Listen to it. Follow it. First John chapter four, starting
verse one, says, 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. Every spirit that confesses

(41:20):
that Jesus the Messiah has come in the flesh is
of God. And every spirit that does not confess 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.

(41:44):
Little children, this is verse four. Little children, you are
of God, you belong to Him and have already defeated
and overcome them. That's the agents of the Antichrist. Because
he capital lives in you is greater, is mightier than
he who is in the world. Who is that he

(42:06):
that's the devil they the false prophets from verse one,
proceed from the world and are of the world. Therefore,
it's out of the world's viewpoint that they speak, and
the world listens, the world pays attention to them. We

(42:28):
shouldn't we should overcome by recognizing false teachers and refusing
to follow them, because the Holy Spirit in you, through
the discerning of spirits, we'll tell you this is not true.
It does not line up with the word of God.

(42:52):
What is John saying? First John, Chapter five, verse nineteen.
We know that we are of God, and the whole
world lies under the sway of the wicked one. False
teachers are part of the world system that is ruled
by Satan, and are accepted by the world system, and
the world will believe they're false teachings and receive them

(43:16):
into fellowship. As long as you're not challenging the world,
as long as you're not confronting them, they will accept you.
If you're going along to get along, they'll let you
join the club. But if you take a stand, you
draw a line in the sand, they won't let you in.

(43:37):
So what is the spirit of the Antichrist? We've been
talking about that a lot over the couple of weeks.
It is the spiritual inspiration behind all deception about Yeshua
as Messiah, and they will teach and preach against the Lord.
Homan Bible Dictionary says the Antichrist, who is the great

(44:00):
enemy of God, and in particular Antichrist plural who proceed
that great enemy. These antichrist or human teachers who had
left the church. Such antichrist deny the incarnation and Messiah's deity.
And in Second John one seven, the Antichrist are identified

(44:22):
as deceivers who teach that Jesus the Messiah did not
come in the flesh. For many deceivers have gone out
into the world who did not confess Jesus the Messiah
as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
an Antichrist. So the concept of the Antichrist appears in

(44:44):
pseudo Christos false Christ who will show signs and wonders
to deceive the elect She had talked about them Matthew
four thirty four. In Mark thirteen twenty two. If it's
read letters and he said it, we should make note
of it. This falling away from the faith, this rebellion,

(45:12):
this betrayal against God, is setting the stage for the Antichrist,
for the man of lawlessness to be revealed. That's what
Paul was talking about in Second Thessalonian two one through four,
talking about the great Apostasy. Now, brethren, concerning the coming
of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and are gathering together

(45:33):
to him, We ask you not to be soon shaken
in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word,
or by a letter, as if it was from us,
as though the day of Messiah had come. Let no
one deceive you by any means. For that day capital
d day of the Lord, will not come unless the

(45:54):
falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed,
the son of perdition, who opposed and exalts himself above
all that is called God or that is worshiped, so
that he sits as God in the Temple of God,
showing himself that he is God. That day will not

(46:17):
come the great rebellion against God and the man of
lawlessness revealed, the one who brings destruction, and what he
will do. That day will not come until the great
rebellion against God, which is a military term of defection,
and the man of lawlessness is revealed. He will exalt

(46:37):
himself and defy everything that people call God, every object
of worship. And he will even sit in the temple
of God, claiming himself God. Well, we don't have a
temple yet doing so. He can't do that yet. So
what's going on. He's setting the stage for this. He's

(46:58):
setting the stage for this rebellion, little by little, peace
by peace, the falling away people that should know better,
teaching things that are so obviously wrong. And this rebellion
is from the spirit of the Antichrist and paves the

(47:19):
way for his appearance. It sets him up for arrival.
It's like an opening act to get the people ready
for him. That's what we're seeing. And he the coming
of the lawless one. Second Thessalonians nine, the coming of
the lawless one, the Antichrist is through the activity and

(47:41):
working of Satan. He won't be Satan, but Satan will
possess him, and will be attended by great power and
with all sorts of supposed miracles and signs and delusive marvels,
lying wonders, and by unlimited seduction to evil, and with

(48:01):
all wicked deception for those who are perishing because they
did not welcome the truth. But refused to love it
that they might be saved. Mankind humanity will easily fall
for it. They don't want to hear the Gospel. They
don't want to believe in the Bible. They don't want
to believe in Jesus of Nazareth. They don't want they Oh,

(48:24):
you tell them this stuff. You tell them anything that's
anti God or anti Bible, and they want to believe it.
The book Revelation and New Translation and Introduction and Commentary
says early Christian interpreters developed competing understandings of the antichrist

(48:44):
nature and origin. Some view the Antichrist as an individual tyrant,
while others understood it in the collective terms as a
group influenced by evil. Ironeus identified the Antichrist as the
final enemy who would sum up all evil, just as
Messiah summed up all goodness, with evil incarnate in the Antichrist,

(49:08):
as the Word became flesh in Messiah, purity and holiness
against pure and unholiness, and this figure would be an
evil king and tyrannical beast, receiving power from the devil,
persecuting the Saints for three and a half years and

(49:29):
serving as the desolating sacrilege. So it was revealed to
Paul by the Holy Spirit that the Church was going
to be exposed to a more tremendous assault than it
had ever experienced before, one that Daniel warned of Daniel,

(49:50):
Chapter seven, verse twenty one. I was watching the same horn,
the other horn which came up before which three fell,
namely the horn which had eyes and a mouth, which
spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than its fellows,
was making war against the Saints and prevailing against them,

(50:11):
until the Ancient of days came, and a judgment was
made in favor of the Saints of the Most High,
and the time came for the Saints to possess the kingdom.
Thus he said, the fourth Beast shall be a fourth
kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth, trample it, break it

(50:33):
into pieces. The ten horns are ten kings who shall
arise from this kingdom, and another shall arise after them.
And he shall be different from the first ones, and
now shall subdue three kings, and he shall speak pompous
words against the Most High, shall persecute the Saints of

(50:56):
the Most High, and shall intend to change time and law,
and the saints shall be given into his hand for
a time and times and a half a time, but
the court shall be seated, and they shall take away
his dominion to consume and destroy her forever. Then the

(51:16):
kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under
the whole heaven shall be given to the people the
Saints of the Most High his king. The Kingdom of
the Most High is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and obey him. Daniel picks us up again
and Danul eight starting verse twenty three. In the latter

(51:39):
time of their kingdom, when the transgressors the sinners have
reached their fullness, a king shall arise. A king is
the Antichrist, having fierce features, who understand sinister schemes. His
power shall be mighty, but not by his own power,
be the working of Satan. He shall destroy fearfully, and

(52:03):
shall prosper and thrive. He shall destroy the Mighty and
also the Holy people. Through his cunning. He shall cause
deceit to prosper under his rule, and he shall exalt
himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their
prosperity he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes,

(52:28):
but he shall be broken without human means. Then, finally,
Daniel eleven, starting verse thirty two, and this is the
spirit of the Antichrist being seen in the actual Antichrist himself,
with smooth words of flattery and praise. He will turn

(52:50):
to godlessness those who are willing to disregard the Mosaic Covenant.
But the people who are spiritually mature and know their
God God will display strength and take action to resist.
They who are wise and have spiritual insight among the
people will instruct many and help them understand. Yet for

(53:14):
many days, some of them and their followers will fall
by the sword and by flame, by captivity, and by plunder.
Now when they fall, they will receive a little help,
and many will join with them in hypocrisy. Some of
those who are that means, they'll join them, but they
will be deceitful about it. They won't be there really

(53:37):
to help. Some of those who are spiritually wise and
have insight will fall as martyrs in order to refine,
to purge and to make those among God's people pure
until the end time. Because it is yet to come,
the time appointed by God verse thirty six of Daniel eleventh.

(53:57):
Then the king who is the Antichrist, will do exactly
as he pleases. He will exalt himself and magnify himself
above every God, and he will speak astounding and disgusting
things against the God of gods. And he will prosper

(54:20):
until the indignation is finished, for that which is determined
by God will be done. This is the second half
of the tribulation. He will have no regard for the
God of his father's, indicating more than likely he's Jewish bloodline,
some belief from the tribe of dan Or for the

(54:43):
desire of women, either asexual or homosexual. Nor will he
have regard for any other God. For he shall magnify
himself above them all. And the way I present that
when the it's open, we can't be here. Those things
come out of the pit that we're put in there

(55:05):
in the days of Noah, who have been in prison
for thousands of years. Satan possesses the Antichrist. He declares
himself as God in the temple and then says to
his fallen angelic brothers, Oh, by the way, now you
will worship me as God. And I believe that's what

(55:29):
sets off a worldwide cataclysmic battle between supernatural beings in
which mankind is caught in the middle. So the final deception,
which really is what we're talking about. The final deception
is one that turns people away from God and away

(55:50):
from Jesus. You show it as Messiah. It is empowered
by Satan and those that serve him, and is the
end time to say, over and over and over. Represented
this picture of a time in which people not only

(56:11):
reject God, they revile him Romans one, verse twenty amplified.
For ever since the creation of the world, his capital
h his invisible attributes, his eternal power, and divine nature
have clearly been seen being understood through his workmanship, all
his creation, the wonderful things he has made, so that

(56:35):
they who fail to believe in trust in Him are
without excuse and without defense. Even though they knew God
as the creator, they did not honor him as God
or give thanks for his wonderful creation. On the contrary,
they became worthless in their thinking, godless with pointless reasonings

(56:59):
and silly speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Claiming
to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory
and majesty and excellence of the immortal God for an
image of worthless idols in the shape of mortal man
and birds and four footed animals and reptiles, false gods

(57:25):
who will lead mankind to stray into darkness. That's what
this is. That's what we're seeing from Babylon to the Egyptian,
Greek and Roman gods to the fallen angelic deception that
will trick humanity into worshiping them. And as believers, born

(57:49):
again believers, we need to be vigilant against false prophets
and false teachings and remained steadfast despite societal pressures or
the attacks that come with it. The Bible warns about
an end time deception. It warns about the rise of

(58:12):
false gods and the importance of recognizing and rejecting spiritual falsehoods,
particularly those that arise from the influence of the Antichrist,
like the alien disclosure narratives, the alien gospel We're your creators,

(58:32):
any quote disclosure about aliens who come to earth claiming
to be our creators and saviors is an old deception
and one of the first things I thought about a
very long time ago when people somebody presented this on
the show, which is when we start to stop getting
guests would come on because I would challenge them. I said,

(58:56):
so you're telling me these things flew light years supposedly
come to earth, and their first thing that they want
to do is challenge our spiritual beliefs. The first thing
they want to do is refute God and Jesus. Really,
they're not here to bring the cure for cancer or
a solve world peace. The first thing they want to

(59:18):
talk about is Jesus. That clearly tells me who they
are and what the influence is behind them. So now
you know, don't fall for it. Choose this day whom
you will serve. Get into the word, get the Word

(59:41):
inside of you, so that when this happens, and whether
it happens in the days to come or years to come,
because for a very long time everybody said this is
it and it wasn't it. God will determine when. Don't
fall for be ready, be prepared. Father, Thank you for

(01:00:07):
giving us this word. Thank you for giving us the
truth and nothing but the truth. Thank you for your
shoe and the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth. Again,
I pray right now, Lord, for those who don't have it,
and even for those that do. We need an extra

(01:00:29):
helping of the spirit of truth. We need revelation, We
need to understand things we've never understood before. Show us
great and mighty things which we do not know. Lord,

(01:00:51):
prepare us for what's going to happen. Holy Spirit, have
your way. We know what you are called to do,
and I, for one give you full permission to do it,
without any restriction, without any hesitancy. And I pray that

(01:01:12):
my brothers and sisters will ask that too. Let us
be beacons of truth and strength the people can find
and we could have a word for them in due
season and be strong, faithful and commit it. And I

(01:01:35):
pray all these things in your Shoe's name. 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, I don't know your su
Ahamashiak lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

(01:01:59):
Give you show alone. I'm Richard Grand This has been
