Join us every Friday for encouragement, freedom, and biblical truth. Grab your coffee or grab your tea.

SPEAKER_03

It's going to be a good one.

SPEAKER_01

All right. Starting promptly here tonight, trying to get this uh rumble stream to start.

SPEAKER_00

And it's telling me that something is wrong.

SPEAKER_01

So let me bear with me here. I thought I had it set up. And I usually do that for Glenda, because I know she watches on Rumble. So good evening, Steven. Good evening, Pam. You guys get settled in here for a memento. For a memento. Okay. Just a memento. And I don't know. I had this whole thing set up and now it's not working. Uh so yeah, there's that. So it looks like I may be live. Let's see. Alright, so it looks like I am live here now on Rumble. So give me a moment. I just have to add some stuff here. And I had it all ready to go. I wasn't planning on doing goddamn. Um I think the only downside is they're not gonna be able to see the videos. So yeah, this isn't gonna work. Um I don't know. Very weird. All the media stuff is gone, and I don't know what happened to it. The only other option would be to share a screen, but that would look stupid. So bye rumble. Bye, bye, rumble. Sorry, Glenda. Don't know where you're at, but sorry, no rumble. Um, hello Daniel, hello Daniel. All right, so um very it's just strange. I set everything up on Rumble and it doesn't work, but maybe that's just from the Lord. That's how I take that. So I can just shift that camera so I don't keep looking at it. All right, so last week, as we know, I'm hoping my sound is good. Uh, last week, as we know, we started working through um our doctrinal foundations, what we believe. And I really felt pressed from the Holy Spirit to cover that first. And I really wasn't gonna do that, but in order, as I said last week, in order to, thank you, Pam. Hey, Kathy, in order to understand the counterfeit, we must understand the authentic. If we don't understand the authentic of what we believe, what we believe, why we believe what we believe, hey Glenda, um, we're never gonna understand the counterfeit. So, with that being said, um, I thought my book was finished, but I'm now in the process of like editing this thing 125 times. And as I've been in the book, um it really began to dawn on me the weight and the impact of not only making sure that book, uh, that's what I was telling the Lord. The sad thing is we would we would read a book over than the Bible, right? Um, but if it gets people to the Bible because of the book, because the whole premise of the book is Jesus' book. Um, and I'm just I'm just a empty vessel, you know. I always tell people I'm really dumb, like when you meet me, I'm not very smart, but I do love to write. So when I begin to write and I just sit and I really marinate or something like that. And I remember when I used the word and it beckoned me. I had no idea where that came from. I was like, what, 16 years old? And I remember my mom asking, and I said, I don't know, I just thought of the word. So when I write, and I think we're all uh kind of like that. I'm not like the standalone person, but I think when we write, um just that creativity side comes out, if I can say it that way. So anyway, I'm gonna be at the drawing board uh most of tonight into tomorrow, um, just through the editing phases. And then Lisa has kindly and graciously accepted to edit. Uh, it's just a big undertaking to edit a book because you're not really reading the book. Um, you're looking for errors in the book, and uh that's the big thing. Um, so the program that I am using to help me edit um is a godsend, and I'll be honest with that. Um I'm not looking for perfection, I'm just looking forward to when the book, Lord willing, is published with him opening the doors that that need to be open, that it will go far and wide. And so anyway, I babbled on about all of that because it is very important for us to stay true to the word of God. And sometimes I don't know, right? Because I've been in that situation, guys. Listen, I'm speaking from the heart here. You know, I I think sometimes we really don't know what we believe. We just know that we're saved and we believe that Jesus came, was buried, you know, died on the cross, buried, rose again. And we really don't understand the fundamentals. So if we hear something, we may not understand maybe the gravity of what you just heard, and you don't maybe realize what they said was wrong. Like if someone were to um talk to you about, you know, like a Philip Anthony Mitchell, he's notorious for it, uh, that we have to be these, you know, sinless Christians. And again, guys, listen, we're gonna talk about that tonight. Um, the Bible never says to be perfect, but yes, we are to be holy as God is holy, and we've gotten to this place in our Christianity where we never want to talk about that. But now when you start teetering on the line of, then if you don't show that, then that means that you're not saved. Um, and that's where we get to the one saved, always saved doctrine. Uh, so tonight we're picking it up, I think, on the fifth point. If uh my notes serve me, my memory there. Um, and this is gonna be, you know, oh, this is one saved, always saved. From here on out, it's gonna be a lot of meat. Uh, I am gonna be talking. There are still some videos here. I've got 11 through 17, but I am gonna talk a lot through one section. And I really hope that you guys stay with me, you journey with me here. Um, this is the time where questions would come into play, engagement in the chat, because I might, you might not agree with me here. You might totally disagree. And these next two sections, the fifth one and the sixth one, maybe you believe something different. So, just as I would made it very clear in the book that it is not me telling you this, it's the word of God. And sometimes we have to understand that scripture will always interpret scripture. So I can't land in a passage and formulate my own opinion. That is why using biblical hermeneutics, who, what, where, when, why, and how is vital to when we study the word of God. And in the upcoming weeks, we're gonna be listening to people and the way that they speak. And so if I'm not setting it up clearly moving forward, we're never gonna know in all transparency, like, well, that sounds okay to me, you know, or well, that I didn't hear that. I mean, some things are obvious, right? Kind of like the guy this R L E this week. That's obvious. But there's things that are not obvious, and that's how the devil deceives because now what was something that was not obvious is now part of the way that maybe you believe fundamentally, guys. Listen, I'll be honest. I've said this time and time again. If we were stranded on an island, and the only thing we had on that entire island was a Bible, we didn't have anybody else, we were all by ourselves, we would never come to the conclusions that we come to today. We would never know about water baptism. I wouldn't jump into the ocean and get baptized because then I think I'm saved. I would not think that once I truly put my faith in Christ, that I can now lose that. I wouldn't come to the Calvinist theory of election, the way that they term it, and that Jesus didn't die for everyone. So, guys, there's many things that we would never come to the conclusion of. Honestly, in all transparency, we probably wouldn't even talk about the Antichrist. We would understand the context of Matthew 24, line by line, word by word, it almost mirrors Revelation chapter 6. So again, if we're stranded on an island, that's how we have to read the word of God today. We're stranded on an island because these churches today, if I can use the term, stink. They stink. Right? The aroma that is ascending up to God's nostrils is making him vomit. And that's why we read that in Revelation chapter three. Not in my notes, let's get started. So maybe that was from the Lord. So the fifth foundational truth is once we are saved, we are always saved. If you're just tuning in tonight and you didn't tune in last week, we covered the first four. So feel free to go back. I'm not gonna revisit those, just go back to the first video. So once we put our faith in Jesus, and I am gonna be reading my notes clearly, the one who paid the ultimate price for where we should have been, we're saved. There's no ifs, ands, or buts. Once we truly put our faith in Jesus, now I did this one before what we're gonna come to next, because if we don't understand genuine faith, we're never gonna understand genuine salvation. We're not gonna understand genual works, genuine, we're not gonna understand genuine sanctification. Okay? All right. The biblical stance or eternal security means, so the biblical stance or what we read in the Bible is called eternal security. It means we cannot lose our salvation if we are truly saved. That's the key there. If we are truly saved. Now, this is the premise, and this is the argument that you guys can lay down as your foundation when you're combating people like this, whether it be family, friends, on your socials. If we can lose our salvation, that means we did something to earn it. Now, I'm not gonna read a lot of scripture here tonight. Actually, I'm lying. This is a scripture. So Romans chapter eight, you can turn there. I don't have any slides. Romans chapter eight, verses 38 through 39 for those who are note takers. It is very clear that nothing can separate us from God. I'll put this here in the chat. How about that? So, and that might cut off. I don't know. Okay, it did not. Um, so hello, Annie. Welcome, welcome. So it says, for I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor death, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able, will be able to what? Separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. So I really think the verse that you saw there in the chat, I think that settles it. If I can lose it, that means I did something to earn it. That, my friends, is another gospel. And I did something to earn it, it means Jesus did not do enough for me to keep it. I'm gonna put that in my in the chat here so you guys can see that and let it marinate with you. Okay. I did something to earn it. That means Jesus did not do enough for me to keep it. That is another gospel. Let's go on to the next sixth foundational truth. And I'm gonna speak to this truth in length. Um, I don't think this is gonna be a very long one. This I don't have many pages to this, and a lot is video content. The sixth foundational truth needs to be spoken of at length here. This foundational truth is through faith alone. It absolutely, guys, hear me. Salvation is through faith alone. I've never once said on this channel that it's not. However, if you never change the Bible, not me, right? Therefore, I'm not arguing. What does it say? The Bible. The Bible, therefore, I'm not arguing. The Bible, not me, says you are not a true believer. Why would it describe wheat and tares? Why would it describe in the Bible Jesus vomiting so-called Christians? Jesus does not vomit anyone of his children. Therefore, the sixth foundational truth, hear this, guys. That's why we did circumcision of the heart first. See how I'm I wanted to lay the foundation in order. So now when we got to this, we understood. Therefore, the sixth foundational truth is just believing without a circumcision of your heart. It's a lie. You're lying to yourself. So from here on out, just maybe, I don't know, 10, 15 minutes. I would truly hope that you guys would listen here and understand what I am saying. So I don't mean this in any disrespect, but this is where I've lost a lot of people on this channel because they'll take, and I'll do shorts, you know, but they'll take that little thing out of context and then make it seem like I believe in something different when I've never said it. Or I know that you have not really heard what I'm saying because of the question that you're asking or the statement or the comment that you're posting. So anyway, if we can just listen, you know, it's at times like this that I feel that people don't listen. And I I don't mind that because I will stand upon what I've spoken. But if we can just kind of, I always say this, maybe tune everything out right now and just focus. So again, if I could just hold your attention, 10, 15 minutes. So, because this foundation is vital to our faith. Sorry to say, but it goes deeper than just a few verses of a change of heart. And we're gonna prove that here tonight through the lens of the Bible. Now, hear me, guys. I I get pushback, and I've gotten pushback since I started this podcast. If your heart doesn't matter in your in relation to salvation, why is the heart mentioned in relation to salvation so much in the Bible? You ever notice, and um, this is not in my notes, so perhaps the Holy Spirit wants me to say this, but you ever notice that when you start a new relationship? Can I just ask y'all a question? And again, I would love some maybe some chat here. When you start a new relationship, what is the one thing that begins to happen in your body? Is it your heart? Is it maybe sweaty palms? So let me know in your first relation with your husband or your wife, or if you're currently with your boyfriend or girlfriend right now, your heart skips a beat, your heart flutters, your palms begin to sweat, you get anxious, but it's a good anxiousness. Why would that be any different than your relationship with Jesus when you come to true salvation? Now, again, this is not in my notes. I close that screen, it's up there. This is why sometimes I like notes, but sometimes I just want the Holy Spirit to lead. So if you start a new relationship and your heart does a pitter patter, because if it's not doing a pitter patter, then you're not going to be relational with the person. But if your heart does a pitter patter, I know that I could probably run into some of my ex's current day, and my heart would probably still do a little pitter patter, like a little skip. So if it matters in the earthly realm, why doesn't it matter in the eternal realm? Just a thought. All right. So, yes, salvation is 100% through faith, and I had to find my place, and not works. However, those who twist that verse are twisting what not by works actually means. And we all know that one prophecy teacher that's literally his handle, not by works. And we've had a discussion on this, and he is in one of those um camps, like a long time ago. That guy, Scott, who came on here and thought he was right and the whole time he was wrong. And I ended the podcast. I've since, of course, pulled it down in a very, I don't want to say angry, but a very righteous anger. I wasn't gonna tolerate with his nonsense anymore. So, anyway, we need to understand what not by works actually means. Although the passage is connected to a salvic theme, Paul lists a gambit of things that he used before we get to verse five. So I'm gonna post this here in the chat. And he says, Hold on. This is what he says, and we'll start this here. So Annie said, I think deep down we've always known Jesus. Becoming saved isn't a new feeling, as if falling in love, but I uh but I come so deep that it transcends new love. I don't understand that. Um, so uh Daniel, great question. But Ephesians 2, 8, it's God's grace, so it's God's grace through faith. Um, and that's where we kind of uh misunderstand that passage. So it's grace, God's grace through faith, because in all transparency, we still don't have to be in heaven, it's through his grace that we are saved. I hope that makes sense, right? So, Annie, I I want to just push back on your comment here, and I I don't mean that in a I don't want to be rude, so I don't mean that, but um, if you're referring to the scripture verse about the void, right? Because God has created all of us. So I do think deep down, right, there is a void, there's something lacking, if that makes sense. Um becoming saved isn't a new feeling. I'm gonna push back on that because it absolutely is. So I I know I believe that you're um oh, I know you live in a different country, and I don't remember which one. But it absolutely should be a new feeling, right? Because you're in now a new relationship with the person who saved you. Um so I do think that it would be as if you are falling in love with a new person. Um, and the word that's throwing me off is when you send transcends. Uh, that's very new age to me. So again, this is I I'm not saying this, but this is why I love comments because I think let me just hopefully help you out here. There is a void in all of us, Annie. And the moment we become saved, that is a brand new feeling. That's why it calls us a new creation. And I unequivocally, for God so loved, well, I want to love him back. If he loved me first, I want to love him back. If that makes sense. So hopefully I kind of cleared that up. But that word transcends. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I I've studied so much in the new age. Um, maybe, maybe don't use that word, girl. Okay. Um, but anyway, thank you for being so understanding. I was trying to tread lightly there. All right. So, Paul in verse three, before we get to the not by works, this is what Paul says. So, again, that's posted right there in the chat. So, if it's not by works, then why would Paul list works? And again, it's not works. That's that's a bad terminology there, because that's not what it means. I don't, I can't earn my salvation. You know what I mean? I can't read the Bible enough or pray enough or whatever the case may be, right? But Paul says in verse three, for we also once were foolish, or again, this is before the not by works passage. So we once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another, which then leads now into verse five, right? And I quoted this um not here tonight, but I quoted it um last week. So I apologize for not having that up here tonight. But turn in your Bibles and you can see for yourself, right? So interesting that verse five in that passage is not telling us that we're not saved based upon our works. It's not telling us that. However, verse five is not telling us not to have works once we are saved. You see the difference there? The works part is meaning I can't do anything to earn. That's where our faith comes in. I can't do anything to earn my salvation. I can't work for it, I can't do anything. But verse five is not, not by works, is not telling us to not have works. So, do you guys understand the conundrum? Here. This camp says not by works. And yes, you're right. I'm not saved by my works. But there has to be a circumcision of your heart to prove. Guys, listen, if you do not have any fruit of the spirit, you're not saved. Verse five is telling you that, not me. And it's funny, can I just say this? This camp will always just hone in on verse five. Not by works, not by works, not by works. Just come as you are. You can stay as you are, not by works. But however, they never hone in on the other part where it says about the washing of regeneration and renewing. Let me post that here in the chat so you guys can see that. They never talk about what you see right there. Well, that's strange, don't you think? I find that very strange. You talk about works, works, works, works, works, being out, whoever you want to be, because you're still going to heaven, but they never talk about the washing of regeneration and renewing. Why would they just conveniently leave off that last part? So anyway, I want to be very clear. I've never said that we are saved based upon our works. However, there has to be a point where we should show that we are saved. Or, guys, hear me, we're not being sanctified. If you are living a blatant life of sin, calling yourself a Christian, you're not being disciplined by God, which is in direct violation of his word, not Kim's word, and then you're really not regenerated. You're not renewed by the Spirit. And we're going to get to something very important here, right? So the Holy Spirit then in your life is not doing his job. Why would that be? We'll get there. Hold on to that thought. So I'm just making sure, again, I'm not a pastor, but I love God's word. And I truly believe when you rightly divide that word, stop focusing on not by works, but focus on what's before and after the not by works. The rebirth, that's once we become born again, so to speak, which is the regeneration, right? Is the washing away of our filth, washing away of our sin. That is now the application of what was sufficient, what Christ did on Calvary. Because I want to make that very clear because Calvinists do not understand that. The blood is sufficient, but it doesn't apply until. Guys get that? So, not in the context, again, of Jesus already didn't do something for us because he did. Meaning we are now regenerated, reborn, and the old life is now disgusting to us, vile to us, something we don't want to be again, right? I'm gonna take a sip of water here. So again, a true circumcision of the heart is listen, if you stumble and fall, it's gonna cut you. It's gonna cut you to the heart. That's the whole point of truly knowing that you're saved. But if you're out there doing all your shenanigans and your life never changes and you don't feel bad, right? And don't confuse crying all the time with true repentance. That's just an emotion. But if you keep going back and back and back, my my question to you would be is what is the spirit doing? Because it's not doing what it says in the Bible that it's supposed to do. So is the Holy Spirit broken or are you broken? Anyway, so therefore, that is why Paul says what he says in verse three. Salvation literally is a washing away of our former self. That is the regeneration part. But then there's the other part that talks about this renewal. So again, another theme that this uh free grace camp avoids. Those two powerful actions after once come someone comes to true faith in Christ. So again, I'm gonna repeat myself a few times here during this lesson. Never once have I ever said that you need works added to faith. I've never said that, not once on this channel, not once. And I've never said that because works is not a condition of your salvation, it's faith alone. And again, Daniel, great question. The grace is God's grace. For by grace we have been saved through faith. Well, what grace are we saved? It's God's grace. So without his grace upon us, it would never even happen. He extended his grace, his favor. That's what that word literally means. I know word of faith, and everyone thinks we should have favor. That's not what that word means. The favor does not mean get a new car, get a new house, live your best life, be healthy. That word favor is grace. Okay. So, anyway, Mr. Cheap Grace, let us continue to read the verse that says regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. So when you want to just stop it not by works, what comes on after that? Let me let me move on. Okay, let me go through these notes because I've already said that. Um okay, my question to this camp is here, I'll put this in the chat. This would be my question, right? And I never feel it's enough. I have plenty of fruit. I never feel like it's enough. Well, brother, if you got plenty plenty of fruit, you can pass some of my way because I struggle on some of that fruit. But um, I mean, we're not striving though, uh, Stephen, for perfection. And I know that you know that, brother. We're not it that is a very uh, I'm not saying that you're Mormon or Jehovah's Witness or Seventh-day Advent, but that is a very religious way of thinking. It's great to strive for that, but that is where um you just need to cease the striving. I I think Paul says that, right? Cease striving, it's already been paid for. However, to have in all transparency, to have a an understanding, an idea of, hey, listen, you know, I want to bear fruit, I want to, you know, change this, I want to change that. That is a great place to sit in all transparency. That is probably the best place to sit, is in that. Um, but we have to make sure that uh hold on one second, guys.

SPEAKER_00

Please hold. Please hold for me. I just noticed something. Okay, okay, just one second, please. Okay, okay. Sorry, I just kind of ruined the moment there.

SPEAKER_01

My bad, my bad, my bad. But um, anyway, so what we have to make sure that we're doing in that um in that vein, Stephen, is making sure that we're not just trying to do something to please God because we think that we have to be perfect, right? Should we strive for that? Absolutely. Are we ever gonna achieve that while we're here on earth? Absolutely not. So I would hate for you to exhaust yourself on that um because I I'm lacking a lot of fruit. There's days that I just feel like I don't even have one fruit to put in my basket. So, and then there's days that I do feel like, ah, that was that was pretty good today. All right, anyway. So, is the Holy Spirit convicting you and renewing you? So, anyway, this camp, hear me, guys. If you are living a blatant life of sin, you're literally going against. I know this is not a number, but we're gonna say it is 99.9999999998% of the Bible. So I I'm um Kim is gonna stick with the Bible. So, what does that say? What does this mug say? I don't even remember. What does it say on this side? I am using the Bible as my proof, therefore I am not arguing because the Bible is riddled, and we're gonna get to some stuff. So, anyway, you must have faith. In order to have faith, you have to understand what you have faith in. So, this counterfeit cheap grace theology brings to the forefront the harsh reality of what Christ did and how Calvary literally takes a backseat, and you can stay the same without any change. So, my question would be why did Jesus die? I'm just gonna rest in that question. Why would Jesus die then if you really don't have to change? So his suffering, wouldn't you want to change knowing what Jesus did for you? Right? Remember this. To some degree, it's not just that amazing single transaction of faith or a mere belief, is why people never really experience God's transformative power. Let me repeat that. To some degree, it's not just that amazing single transaction of faith, but a mere belief is why people never experience God transform his transforming power. What I mean by that, it's just simply a belief, and it's not really faith. So you really don't have God's transformative power. Now, this came to me while I was writing these notes a couple of weeks ago, and I've mentioned this a lot on this podcast. And at this point here, again, I know I don't know what you guys are doing, but again, if I could just have your attention, because the really the Lord really quickened this to me. So I've always spoken on this podcast about a form of godliness, and I just want to dive into this really quick, and then we're gonna carry on here with our next point. I thought of this when I was writing these notes, talking to the Lord before I wrote the notes. I I want to want you guys to hear this because this is like a wow moment. All right. So in my line of work, as you guys know, I'm in the legal profession. We do these things called appendices, or like if you have an exhibit, right? So maybe you guys are somewhat familiar with legal documents. So in some of our transactions, not some, in all of our transactions, we have what's called appendices or exhibits. What's interesting is some of these appendices, this is the title of them. Okay, I'll put this in the chat really quick. And I can share all of this because what I do is in the public. So I have this in the chat here. It says form of an opinion. This is what it says form of a loan agreement, form of a resolution, form of a you know, a bond, a bond, form of, and then it'll what it does is it you put it right, the form of, and that's at the top of it. It'll be like form of, and then you kind of put the form of whatever document. In some cases, you might put like um specimen, or you might put draft or something like that. So, but people know it's just a form of it's so interesting. All of those documents, hear this, please, and I know people are dropping off. All of these forms look and read, hear this, hear this, hear this, just like the original document. So much so that these original documents can also be submitted at our closings. However, even in the form of say the bond, right? What is interesting there is the form of the bond, that's the bond, that's the actual money, right? That we're just well, not we, but that's being dispensed to who whoever's getting it. It's literally printed on certain paper, money paper, right? Bond paper. And at that point, that now form of now becomes the authentic. However, when it's just a form of or a specimen, it's still used as an attachment to one of our closing documents. Very interesting. Hear this, guys. Although they are identical, you cannot pay. Hear this. This is from the Lord. I'm telling you. This is not a thus say the Lord moment. I am just telling you. It was like an aha moment for me when the Lord quickened this to me. Even if you have just form of, or even a specimen written. The bond, you cannot pay the bond with a form of. However, that would mean now the bond is not applied. It is not in my notes. Thank you, Lord. Let's break it down to Calvary. The form of the bond, that is the sufficiency of the blood of Christ. However, when you just have this form of fake Christianity, the blood was really not applied to you. So you can have a form of bond thinking that that's real money. You can even submit it with your closing documents, thinking, I'm good to go, I'm gonna get my money. And then all of a sudden you're like, hey, we can't close this deal without the authentic bonds.

SPEAKER_02

What?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Kim, it's not it's not a sufficient legal document. Guys, hear this. When is the legal document sufficient? When it's authenticated, or when it's applied, a form of. So, guys, a form of is a very, very powerful scripture verse that you guys need to meditate on when I get these dissenters that come here that just don't want to see the reality of scripture. I'm not saying it, just like those in these camps. These pastors are teaching millions of people that they have the real thing. You can submit that at closing. You can submit that when you draw your last breath. But then you realize when you draw your last breath, hear this, it's been counterfeit the entire time. Does that not worry anybody? I mean, guys, I'm being serious. If this is not something that is part of your foundation of faith, I don't understand why. This is why we have the church age. Listen, when someone tells me that I should not submit to Jesus as my Lord, well, I got news for you, bud. Ma'am, you're not truly a slave to Christ, then, nor is he your master. I don't understand why that phrase bothers people so much, right? All the apostolic letters, the epistles, being a bondservant, a slave to Christ. If that was not words that we should use today, then why are they even in the Bible? Aren't we not told to adhere to the apostles' teaching? I think we are. So on that note, I want to go first now to Acts chapter 2, verse 37. Um, thank you, Pam. Again, that's not me. It was 100% the Lord. Um, never thought of it like that, the way you just play. Again, Daniel, brother Daniel, it was Jesus. Uh, because I do these documents all day. I mean, I this is part of the reason I was just like, I can't keep doing two podcasts. I'm not getting the engagement, it's a lot of work, da-da-da, because it's my life. It's my life, you know. Legal work is very taxing mentally. Um, but man, that that's that was 100% from the Lord. I can't submit a form of on my burial date, on my drawing on my last breath date. But what I can submit is the authentic. And then I know that the bonds have been paid, applied. Okay, so what I want to do, um, so we're told to adhere to the apostles' teachings. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna play this video of Acts chapter 2, beginning in verse 37. Um did I play a beginning intro? How come I don't remember that? I think I did. Anyway, here we go. Peter finished preaching. It says, now when they heard this, what were they hearing? Peter's message. They were pierced to the heart. Let me repeat that. They were pierced to the heart. Why? Why would that language be used there? Because you should feel it in your heart when you hear the gospel, it should pierce you in your heart. Peter, along with the other apostles, not the 120, but the apostles, then asked, Brothers, what shall we do? That is why we now get to verse 38, which we discussed before. Peter told these Jews to repent and be baptized. Now, when we get to these verses, 42, 43, and 44, it tells us what the church should be doing today. But we don't listen to that. Instead, who are we devoted to? We are devoted to Prophecy Channel teachings, J.B. Hickson's teachings, Andy Wood's teachings, Tom Hughes' teachings, Kurt Reed's teachings, J.D. Farag's teachings, Joel Osteen's teachings, Bill Johnson's teachings, Philip Anthony Mitchell's teachings, Bryce Crawford's teachings, Johnny Chang's teaching, fill in the blank. We are not fulfilling the acts call of the church, right? Verse 42 says they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and a prayer. Everyone felt a sense of what? Unity. Many wonders and signs took place through who? The members of the church? No, the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common. They began selling their property and possessions and shared with anyone in need. Verse 46 says, Day by day, hear this, please. Please hear this. Day by day, they continued with what? With confusion? With disunity? No, with one mind, with one mind, I'm going to repeat that, with one mind in the temple and broke bread from house to house. They took their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with people. Therefore, that's when the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Why were they being saved? Because they were hearing the truth of the gospel and it struck them to their heart. The number being added today is a fake number. I hope you guys get that. The number in the church today is inflated because it's a counterfeit. Notice, again, they had all things in common and in one mind. The church today has almost 99% of things that are rare, uncommon. And I'll be honest, guys, that same percent, we are not of one mind. It's kind of strange, right? Is it not telling you the condition of our church today? Let me bring this sixth foundational truth in for a landing. That grace is a gift from God. It is our true, genuine faith that compels our submission. The cost of salvation is free to us. It's a free gift. But the cost was not free to Christ. The reality is that if you have authentic faith, authentic faith, let me repeat that, authentic faith, it will always transform the believer's view of Christ. And because of that authentic faith and your true view of Christ, it will bring you into submission to him. I want to be very clear. The Bible. The Bible. On this foundational truth, I truly believe that the Bible teaches us that this lie is just as deadly as the apostolic NAR lie and just as deadly as the deliverance lie. So that right there will bring a landing in for our sixth point. And I just want to say one thing that I did not put in that video. One final note. Why do you fight so hard to defend those in sin and their wicked behavior? That would be my question. Why are you striving so hard to say it is completely okay? It's like you give more credence to people being in sin than you ever want someone to be holy. I'm sorry, I stayed there for a little bit, but I really felt like I had to. Again, we're setting up what we believe. So, seventh, deliverance is a lie, and one that tarnishes the finished finished work of Calvary. I only need one verse to prove this. And if you do not believe that when Jesus said it is finished, it is finished, you believe in a different Jesus. Deliverance is a demonic lie and one that keeps people bound and keeps them unsaved, unfulfilled, unsure, and under the realm of the demonic. I'm going to repeat that. Deliverance keeps people unsaved, unfulfilled, unsure, and under the realm of the demonic. Satan still owns these subscribers in the deliverance movement. And here you go. Deliverance movement is debunked by one verse. And I'm going to go ahead and put the video on the screen. Colossians chapter two, verses thirteen through fifteen. Oh, that's right. He took it out of the way. How? Having nailed it to the cross. When he had disarmed, what did Jesus do, guys? He disarmed the rulers and authorities. He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through him. If you believe in the deliverance

[Ad] The Bride of Christ Podcast

SPEAKER_01

movement, you do not believe in Jesus. I don't think anyone can argue with deliverance if you pull out that verse. So again, guys, this is learning tools for all of us. This is when you come across something on your socials where someone is espousing this

(Cont.) WARNING: Behind The Apostasy | 310

SPEAKER_01

deliverance movement. Just copy and paste Colossians. Just say, hey, Colossians 2, 13 through 15, and bold, you know, cap these important words that were in the scripture. All right, let's carry on. Eighth point of what we believe, why we believe, this is how we understand it. And some of these you guys know, I know. You're like, well, of course I know that's not part of our faith. But some people don't. We are not in the apostolic age. Now hear me on this. If you believe that we are, you have mishandled the word of God and do not understand the simple truths in the Bible. Can can God heal today? Absolutely. But we're all not healed, now are we? Now, by his stripes we are healed. I've said this time and time again, is not a physical healing, but our spiritual healing. Now, I want to be very clear. You all use that verse, not you all here, because you guys are too smart for that, are wrong because that would mean not one person who comes to faith in Christ would get sick. They wouldn't get a disease or any other ailment. Because then if Christ's stripes, hear this while the twisting of the word is so disgusting. If it says by his stripes we are healed, it doesn't say we may be healed or we could possibly be healed, or once you're saved, you're healed, or only this disease, but not that disease. Guys, this is where that has nothing to do with our physical healing. If Jesus' stripes didn't quite make it, and that's what we're saying, right? How many of us right now with a raised hand in the chat, or if you're watching this on post in the comment section, need a healing in your body? I need a healing for my goiter, I need a healing from my rosacea, I need a healing from my hip that's hurting, I need a healing from my left um heel that's I we can list the things that we need healing from, right? But I'm born again. So but I thought but by his stripes I am healed. So what Jesus did on Calvary just wasn't enough. But again, Jesus did die, right? He he he was he was whipped 39 times, right? The stripes are for our spiritual healing. We are not healed physically by stripes. We're just not because all of us have ailments. The apostolic age, biblically, is complete. The apostolic age is not repeatable. Why do I say that? Why why isn't the apostolic age repeatable? Now, the apostolic age is going to go your Pentecostal movements, your charismatics, your NAR, and of course your deliverance. They believe that we're still, we are still able to do what the apostles did. Now hear this, guys. The apostolic age was for a purpose. Jesus said, quote, for John baptized with water, but you, who was he talking to? The 12 will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now, from now. We understand that that uh in its totality was the day of Pentecost. He wasn't, well, he was talking to the 11, but when the day of Pentecost came, and I already broke down Acts before, right, last week, that was not for us. The 120 were not involved in the speaking in tongues. The 120 were not involved. Anytime, if the 120 or anyone from that church age went out and did stuff, an apostle was with them, or the apostle did it themselves. Read the Bible, it's right there. Okay. So we're gonna understand this Acts two shenanigans nonsense in the next couple of weeks. Now, again, if this is does not interest you, if you don't want these people to be exposed, there's people that have, you know, Daniel's one of them with that nincampoop that he saw. Um, the rich Tidwell guy, um, there was another person, but uh this is your podcast. Well, ultimately is the Lord, but you know what I mean. So if there's somebody you're like, hey, have you heard of him? Send me a message, lifeclipspodcast at gmail.com or put it in the comments in the video on post, not now, because I I don't keep the live. So you guys feel me on that? If you want me to expose somebody, I'll do it. So the apostles were commissioned by Christ to establish the doctrinal foundation for the church. I'm gonna repeat that because you know how you know what this is this is this chat's coming in handy since I don't have slides. That's the other one. Um and I said, like I said, that name was he like apostolic? Was he deliverance? Because the name sounds so familiar. I'm sure if I pulled up his picture, I would know. But I want to repeat that. It's in the chat. The apostles were commissioned by Christ to establish the doctrinal foundation for the church. The foundation has been laid. We know that from the Bible. Why? Because the Bible says having been. It doesn't say is being built on the foundations of the apostles and prophets. It's saying having been built, having been. Guys, come on, with Jesus himself being the cornerstone, not in my notes. So I always say when something's not in my notes and something pops in my head, I maybe it's from the Lord or maybe it's just heartburn. I don't know. But having been built in the foundation of the apostles, Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone, this thought just came to me. If we are still building on that, is Jesus now removed from he's no longer the cornerstone. Because the cornerstone what? Holds the foundation together. So is he being removed as the cornerstone? I don't know. Again, if we were stranded on an island somewhere and all we found was a Bible, we would never come to the conclusions that we do to in our churches today. The other interesting thing that I found in my research in the Word of God was Revelation 21, 14. If the apostolic age is continuing today, why does it only mention 12 foundation stones of the apostles? How come there's not more than 12 if we have all these supposed apostles today? I'm gonna put that in the chat. In Revelation 12, 14, it only mentions 12 foundations. It's amazing that it's called foundation stones because the foundation was built on them. Ding, ding, ding, ding, just on me right now at this live event. So wouldn't it be, wouldn't Bill Johnson have a stone? Wouldn't Apostle Catherine Crick have a stone? Greg Locke says he's an apostle now. Wouldn't he have a stone? So anyway, in Acts chapter 2, verse 42, who were they devoting themselves to? I know we've talked about this, but who's teaching? It says they were continually devoting themselves to who? The apostles' teaching and the breaking of bread and to prayer. So the key points to this apostolic age ending according to the Bible, according to the Bible, not me. No one alive today can actually meet the criteria of an apostle, not one person. I don't care who you are, I don't care what you believe, there ain't one apostle walking on the planet today, because there's only one criteria is required for apostleship. You don't believe me? Here you go. Therefore, it is necessary of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning with the baptism of John until the day that he was taken up from us. Let me repeat that. Therefore, it is necessary that of the men, notice they're men, who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning with baptism of John until the day that he was taken up from us. One of these, what are they saying, must become a witness with us of his resurrection. How what is the marking of an apostle? A witness of Jesus' resurrection. Um thank you. I wasn't muted. Um, Daniel, Jesus doesn't need to put his faith in anyone. I are you joking? Like, I don't know. Is that a serious question? He doesn't need it's Jesus. He doesn't need to put his faith in anybody, brother. Um so Elizabeth said, Daniel, it seems to me that Jesus is faith, so he doesn't have to put his faith in anything else. So epitome of it, just my take. Um no, I I didn't have sound. Sorry. So what I was saying was that many in this camp do not believe that Paul was an apostle. However, I just posted the scripture in the chat. Paul absolutely says in 1 Corinthians 9 1, he says, Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? So people, are you telling me that because him and the father are one, Daniel? Um, have I not seen he's our savior? I'm I'm confused. Are you are you asking this seriously? He's the savior, he's God incarnate, he doesn't need to have faith. Who's saying they still can't hear me? Kathy, I I think I have sound now. Am I still muted? I don't think no, I'm not muted. I have sound and I see my green light. It's not telling me that I'm muted. Are you delayed, Kathy? Yeah, it you must be delayed. Hey Loretta, but anyway, so Paul is saying he specifies without remote just any question that he's an apostle, that he saw the risen Lord, right? He's an apostle, and we all know the story of Paul on the road to Damascus, so we don't have to pretend as if Paul is not a true apostle. He absolutely is. Why do you think there's 12 foundational stones? I guarantee that even if Paul, even though, excuse me, Paul denied it when Christ rose from the dead, he was probably even a part of it, right? Continue with the lie and till when, right? Paul was part of that lie. He didn't really rise, he didn't rise until when he was he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. So to end this one here, this little nugget here, the apostles' authority derived directly from their personal encounter with the risen Christ. That word encounter is actually how it should be used. Instead of I had an encounter with an angel and I had an encounter this and that. Um what? That isn't true, encounter what they had. They all had a personal encounter with the risen Christ. And because of that, their role was their teachings about the foundational Christian truths. Oddly enough, this is what we have steered away from today. So I repeated that twice because Satan is deceiving. Why? Because he knows no one's reading the word of God, right? We have the New Testament canon, and this is where the apostolic teaching lies indefinitely. We we don't need any more apostolic teachings. I don't need any prophets to tell me what to do, we don't need any new ones. But why are we living in this bubble of this apostolic age? Because Satan is here to distort, to taint, to undermine the God of the heavens and the earth and his only son Jesus. The devil wants to taint the simplicity of the word of God. So again, just sit here with me for just a moment. Um, I'm gonna insert a video. It it I don't want to say it's pretty long, but it's I don't know how long is this thing? I don't know. It's a few moments, it's a few minutes, okay? But I I I'm doing this to hopefully keep your engagement. Um that's why I'm doing this video. So the video is lengthy, but this is the this is called the continuous um correct, David, or God told me X, Y, and Z. Absolutely. Um so Daniel said, trick question. Not for me, it wasn't a trick. I was just like, is he for real? Is he for real now? Okay, keep me on my toes, Daniel. So um again, this is what continuous believe. I'm a cessationist. If you believe that the gifts have ceased, you are a cessationist. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's that's actually what the Bible teaches. And that's if you want my true and honest opinion, I think that's the best place to be because it really develops our faith. Knowing, hey, God can heal my gorder, knowing that God instantaneously can take away my rosacea. And I don't have to spend money on different products that never seem to work. God can instantaneously take away the pain in my heel or my hip. But where does my faith come in? It's my reliance on Him. I don't need the superficial and the spectacular to believe. I just need Jesus. Get it? All right, here we go. So again, pretty long. Buckle in, grab some tea, whatever. I'm gonna drink while it plays and put my mic on mute by mic on mute. Continuous view came into view in the early 1960s and 70s. However, we do know that the Apostolic Age, the Pentecostal movement absolutely began, the Azusa Street outpouring, which was like 1901 around that time. But the continuous view came in around the 1960s to the 1970s. They were resurrecting the Corinth Church, if we can put it in that terminology. The Corinth Church was the most carnal church Paul wrote to. They too wanted to keep the gifts going, yet Paul had to step in and say, Yeah, you're not doing it according to what you've been taught. While I was typing these notes, this thought came to me. The Bible is enough, right? The simple way we can read it and understand it, right? The outlines of the foundational truths that we believe in, right? However, here we sit not devoting ourselves to the apostles' teachings. Their teachings are both the Old and New Testament. I get there because when Jesus rose from the dead, he walked with these men for 50 days. Things that are not penned in the Word of God, but are they? Absolutely. That would be from Acts to the book of Revelation. There were things told to them that we do not read about in the Gospels. So therefore, after he rose, I am sure Jesus taught them a lot about the Old Testament scriptures. Or maybe the light finally went on and ding ding ding ding, they finally understood what they were hearing. Guys, hear me on this. The apostles had boldness and courage to fight for this faith that we have today that no one seems to fight for. If we do not devote ourselves to the true teachings of God's word, this is where we come to. This is where we've landed. This is our church today. The church is now bound by this continuous movement where they want to continue the gifts and seek to practice all the spiritual gifts mentioned in just a few books. However, this age is over. The apostolic age is over. And this continuous movement, this demonic movement, their deep demonic desire to have a resurgence of this continuous theology, I'll be honest, proves how close we are to really going home. These falsehoods, hear this number, it is astounding. The falsehoods which have grown by the Pentecostal and the charismatic movements went from under one million in the 1900s to an astounding number of over 670 million worldwide today. To put that in perspective, the population here in America is what, a little over 330 something million? Wow. They have brought an unbiblical twist on an apostolic age, claiming that they are restoring it. This, my friends, contradicts spiritual evidence that it deceased. After the last Apostle died, there were different spiritual gifts and offices. These gifts served a different purpose at a different time. Therefore, what we read in the New Testament was a different time. It is not for today. Interestingly enough, Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 opened this chapter with this. You know that you were pagans, you were led astray to mute idols. These gifts that Paul mentioned here were for four were, excuse me, the gifts that Paul mentioned here were for a different time and purpose. Yes, there absolutely were tongues and prophecy and healing and words of knowledge. However, scripture clearly states tongues and prophecy was teased. The Bible was not in print yet, so therefore words of knowledge and prophecy were still ongoing. We do not need this today because we have the totality of scripture. Why is it so hard to comprehend? Because you know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to mute idols. These camps are still being led astray by pagan forces. I also state my case by saying, why didn't Paul heal Timothy or send him a part of his clothing? Healings began to cease, did they not after the book of Acts? Read it for yourselves. Search the scriptures. Again, guys, if you're getting your theology from two rebuke letters, you may want to reassess your theology. We, the church, need to evangelize and teach. Absolutely. We all have Christ's mandate to evangelize the nations. That remains for all time. That is why the foundations of our faith center on Jesus Christ and God's work through him. The focus on Jesus' death for our sins. We talk about the cross, his burial, his resurrection, and his future coming in judgment. We know that salvation is through justification by faith. We now have all the scripture, which is the authority of God's inspired word. We find all we need from the truth of the Trinity, who Jesus really is, meaning his full deity and humanity. These and more are clear in Scripture. These are the apostles' teachings. Let us stop with the ambiguity surrounding Scripture. What I mean by that is anything and everything is open to more than one interpretation or inexactness. Let me repeat that. Meaning anything and everything is open to more than one interpretation or inexactness. There is one, and yes, although there are many grey areas, scripture is so clear on these foundations. So I know that was pretty long, but I really uh wanted to keep you guys engaged, and hopefully that worked. So anyway, we've heard this time and time again that theologians distinguish between foundational and secondary truths. Now, part of us are going through this foundational truths and what we believe. What is our authentic beliefs? What should we believe? This is this is foundational. The secondary truths, the rapture, um maybe even continuous, right? However, I think they're really, I don't think that's no longer secondary. I just don't. Um some of the other secondary truths that people say is baptism saves. I don't believe that's a secondary truth. I believe that that's heresy. I believe that's that's a work um that is adding to what Jesus did. Guys, hear me. If if anyone is adding to what Christ did on Calvary, it's a different gospel. Galatians, right? If anyone should bring to you another gospel, even an angel in heaven, let him be accursed. What is the gospel? It's the good news of what? What Jesus did on Calvary. So if any of these people, deliverance, Charismania, you know, the cheap grace camp, if they're telling you something different about what Jesus did on Calvary, it's another gospel, right? Can a secondary gift or secondary um theology could be could women be pastors, right? I will always tell you no, they can't at all. I I'm not gonna lie, I would love to pastor a church, but I know I can't. I can't. I I'm not, I'm a woman, I'm easily deceived. I would never go against what the word of God says. A woman cannot be a pastor. I don't care how you want to twist that, you cannot. It was in a different time. The passage still remains the same today. Eve was the one who was deceived. Okay. So anyway, the bottom line is this Christ died for our sins. He was buried and he rose again. So that's our foundational truth. And on the surface, that sounds great. Every single false religion believes that. And when you understand scriptures, and then we begin to test, which we're going to be doing here, not only through messages, but also through songs. I've been downloading so much content right now that I am just baffled that Christ has not come. Guys, I'm telling you, there is such a burden between getting the book published and doing this now. Focus on this channel that I will not steer away from. The only time I may steer away is when I feel led of the Lord to speak about the rapture. That's it. The church age is not the church age, it is a form of. Right? They're trying to submit something for closing, and it's it's not working. Your form of is not working. But where we have to sit here as believers is what teaching is not working right now. The truth, the authentic teaching of God's word. That right there is gaining less traction. And what is gaining more traction? The falsehoods. Why is that, guys? I see these videos of these young kids being influenced, and you guys are gonna look at this too, of our kids. That is where my heart cries out is these kids are deceived by this massive influx of this fake spirit. And it's very sad. So, anyway, if if this movement, the signs, the miracles, the wonders, the deliverance, the worship, the fill in the blank, if that is gaining traction in these last days, I think something is on the horizon, right? They've all broken biblical truths. And I'll be honest, guys, my book, and I'm not saying this because I want sales, I want you to buy it when it comes out, but I call people out by name, including those in the prophecy circle. You can just wait until you read the book. But people are breaking biblical truths to line their pockets. And I think that's what the biggest thing I struggled with with this book is God, I don't, I don't want to be like, I'm an author, and oh, I made X amount and I need to make another book. And that's not the point. And now, one thing I will I've been talking to the Lord about is after the book is published and I have established a following on that, I do want to just kind of release these little leaflets, you know, hone into Hinduism, hone into the new age, and and then hone into this mental age that we're living. You know what I mean? Like little tiny pamphlets, you know, 50-page little booklets or whatever. And then if you want it, like a little, okay, so what does this say? What is this religion about? Like a little thing on Catholicism, whatever the case may be. Right? I want to do so much and I have no time, but that's fine. Anyway, so these they have broken the true spiritual connection. So their broken counterfeits are no longer biblical truths. I just don't think the Lord is just gonna carry on, guys. Hear me on this, right? If you don't take anything from tonight, just hear me on this. Israel, I don't even know if this is in my notes, but Israel was called to be set apart. Israel didn't quite do what they were supposed to do. Jesus came, he came to his own, his own knew him not. At that point, we, the Gentile, were grafted into that vine. We never replaced Israel. But now the church is supposed to be salt and light, and we're neither. There's a small little remnant of salt and light. Do you not think? And I don't believe in signs, I don't believe in convergences. But do you not think? I mean, the last letter in the book of Revelation before the rapture is the most carnal church, and they're not even saved. So let's not even call them carnal. Carnality is not a continual delve into darkness. I just want us to be real on that. Okay. Let's keep scripture contextually sound. Carnality is when we're carnal, when I'm battling my flesh. That's carnality. Not a, and again, to all you free uh grace people, just as the charismatic people want to get their poor theology from the two rebuke letters, that's where you guys want to get your free grace theology from the two rebuke letters. Again, I would not get my theology from the people that Paul was calling out from doing everything wrong. So anyway, I digress. But so Israel called to be set apart, to be a nation set apart. They failed the mission. The church called to be salt and light. We're failing the mission. Jesus is coming soon. I'm sorry if I'm yelling. I don't know how loud that is because I don't have my headset on. He is coming soon, y'all. The church is no longer salt, we are no longer light. We are intermingling with the world because that's where we're comfortable. Why are you comfortable in the world? Because you're of the world. You have a form of your bond document will not take you to the closing. They're gonna say this is not authentic. When it becomes popular, it is no longer biblical truth. Let me go back. Biblical truth is not popular. When it becomes popular, it is no longer biblical truth. You guys get that? I have no idea. Oh, those are my intros. I'm like, what what are these two videos? Guys, that ends it here for tonight. But this is this is a different podcast going forward. And maybe it is because of the book and and just the things that I have been going deep diving into the word. Um and the deception. The the absolute um terrifying, if I could put it that way, uh, deception. It's crazy. Um so I want to let you guys know something that I did revise the cover, but it wasn't my idea. Um Kathy, I see your question. Give me one second. Um, Mike, who uh is um a friend of mine, he's also published, he's been on here before. He made some suggestions of the book, so the lettering. And um anyway, so Mike made a very, very good point with the the book cover. Let's see if I can zoom this out a little bit. And I really am grateful and thankful for his suggestion because I think the book cover now looks so much better than what it did. So from his suggestion, he wanted to change the lettering. He said, make the lettering white. And I did use um AI to get that right. He told me to take away the buy with my name and move my name up. But then I what I wanted is I then I was thinking, uh, what would also and he said close the window at the top, but then the red cross. I'm like, maybe make the cross red because the first time it was not, it was just black, and I felt like all of that now pops. Um, so as of right now, that is the working um cover. However, I did want to read a snippet in light of tonight. Um the reason that the Lord has pressed this upon my heart like never before. So you guys can read along with me. Uh so let me answer Kathy's question first. The book of Corinthians was written to believers, and yet they were okay, so I'm gonna stop you there, Kathy. All of them were not believers. Even Paul makes that clear. He said, some of you. Um so that word is very important. So it's not written to believers, it's written to some. So Paul, you know, some of you, some of you, some of you. So even Paul knew, like, hey, I'm not directing this. I'm I'm directing it to a church, the church of Corinth. Um, but every time that he's mentioning behaviors and stuff, such were some, some of you. So that's the the uh the context really of um Corinthians. It was written to believers, some believers, and yet they were living in very sinful lifestyles. So again, that's that contextually is what we have to understand. Some of them were absolutely born again, and then there were the some who were the tares, probably influencing them. I think the audience, Kathy, that Paul was really reaching there was the true born-again believers. They were the the ones who probably changed. The other ones were still doing their shenanigans. But I hope that helps. So when you read it, you can see for yourself. You could just circle some, some, some, some, and you'll see the context of what he is um saying there. So hopefully I answered your question. All right. So I'm gonna just read you a snippet here from the book. Again, it's still in the editing phase, and I don't know um if you can see that. I don't think that you guys really need me. So let's do it this way. Let's see here. We can zoom in real quick. All right, so I think we can see that a little bit clearer on the screen. Yes, we can. All right. So, anyway, guys, this is the reason I do what I do. Okay, so why this book? Let me take you back to the moment this book was born, not in a boardroom or at a writer's conference, but in a quiet stir of my spirit. It was an ordinary day when a message from a former LCP subscriber arrived. God used that message as a spark, igniting an idea that had lingered in my heart for years, a calling to search the scriptures and shine a light on a subject too often left in the shadows. This book is an examination of the biblical truth surrounding the false prophet, the first half of the tribulation, and the spiritual deception that will follow the rapture. To understand why this matters, consider what happened after September 11th, 2001. Let's journey back to September 11th, 2001, or 9-11. The day the world seemed to stand still. In the aftermath, on September 12, churches across the nation overflowed. People wandered in from the shadow of the rubble, desperate for answers, aching for comfort, searching for something, someone to help make sense of the chaos. They just didn't want rituals. They yearned for hope, for spiritual meaning, for a voice that can soften the ache of confusion and loss. Yet, as sobering as those days were, something far more sweeping is on the horizon. A moment in history that will eclipse even those memories and reshape everything we know. Remember the word rapture. Picture it. A signless, sudden event in a heartbeat. Millions of true followers of Christ are caught up, vanished from the earth to meet Jesus in the air. And then I quoted scripture. Much like the aftermath of 9-11, a desperate whirl will scramble for spiritual voices to fill the gaping void left behind. A godless black hole where millions once stood, now suddenly gone. But don't be mistaken. This book isn't meant to be another thesis on the AC's system. That would be Antichrist, nor is it an expose on the man himself. If you've come here looking for that, don't put this book down just yet. Let me just briefly pull back the curtain on the AC and his system. We'll dig deeper in section one. The AC won't burst onto the scene, wielding tyranny right away, far from it. Our imaginations might conjure an evil ruler storming in with an iron fist and dictating policy from day one, but the reality is more subtle. The Bible in Revelation 6 paints a different portrait. The AC arrives shrouded in diplomacy and peace. He is not a headline celebrity, not Trump, Obama, Elon, or any other household name. The Bible refers to him as a little horn, someone insignificant, almost invisible in the background. And that's precisely why he'll arrive unburdened by our expectations. Who could he be? Honestly, it doesn't matter. Think about how quickly social media influencers rise from obscurity to fame, gathering millions of followers with a message of hope or change. The AC too will captivate the world through eyes, ears, screens, and stories spreading his influence like wildfire. The man of lawlessness, the AC, and his system will be fully set up after the abomination of desolation. Jesus confirms this in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. In those Gospels, Jesus confirms what the prophet Daniel said. Let's step into the story of Daniel 9. Picture Daniel not as a distant prophet, but as a man burdened, his heart heavy with the weight of his people's failures and his own. While some historians cast doubt on Daniel's author um authorship, the narrative itself pulls us in. Verse 2 reads like the opening of a personal journey, journal, making it clear that Daniel is the one telling his tale. Quote, in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books, in the books, the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely 70 years. In those quiet, prayerful moments, Daniel receives a vision, one that would unveil the future of Israel, a glimpse beyond the horizon of his own life. As we journey through these verses, I'll occasionally pause the story to help unpack the meaning, asking those simple but powerful questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how? This way you can walk alongside Daniel, uncovering each layer as the story unfolds. In Daniel 9, beginning in verse 21, Daniel hears a word from Gabriel. Gabriel delivers an important message to Israel in the passage, picking it up in verse 27. And he who, the Antichrist, will make a firm covenant, what? The peace treaty, with many, that's the who and the where, Israel, for one week. When? Seven years. It's at the signing of this peace treaty, not the rapture, that the clock begins to tick for the final seven years. The story's tempo changes and every moment suddenly matters. But in the middle of the week, that's the when, three and one half years after the making of the covenant, he is the who again, the Antichrist, will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering. The what, where, and when is Israel, a clear indication that Israel will have their third temple. And on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate. Christ reinforced that in Matthew 24 15. Even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed is poured out, the destruction of the AC on the one who makes desolate. Halfway through those seven years, at a very midpoint of the tribulation, the curtain rises on the beast system in all its intensity. This is the turning point. Moment when everything accelerates. Think of this book as a map, not a straight path. Each section stands alone, inviting you to jump to the topic that speaks to your heart or helps you walk with someone about what's unfolding in our world. Maybe you'll find yourself drawn to the section about sharing the gospel with clarity, or curious about the coming ecumenical system, or eager to understand why the age of prophets and apostles has passed. Wherever you begin, let curiosity be your guide. My hope is that you find your section a place where questions turn into understanding and where the Lord meets you with new insight about what lies ahead. From the beginning, I resolve to anchor every page in God's word, not opinions, traditions, speculation, or sensational headlines, but in careful exegesis that draws the truth from Scripture itself. As we trace the threads between what was, what is, and what is yet to come, the Bible, not my voice, will be our guide. Every conclusion must stand on the word. If it's not in Scripture, we will not pretend that it is. So I invite you to not merely read, but journey with me. Ask the Lord to illuminate the corners of your understanding that have remained dim. Keep your Bible open and a notepad in hand, and let us seek truth together, trusting God to lead us into a clearer understanding of what He has revealed in His Word. Many today find themselves tangled in the deception of a false light, and the Bible does not leave us guessing as to why. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. My heart is to bring into the open what many churches have left unspoken. Scripture warns repeatedly about false light, false teachers, false converts, and false prophets. Yet many discussions of the end times focus almost entirely on the Antichrist. I'm noticing some errors as I'm reading this, just so you know. Because I already defined that term, uh, while giving a little attention to the figure who would lead the world into worshiping him, the false prophet. It is time to break free from comfortable myths, such as the notion that everyone belongs to God's family, or that the tribulation centers only on the AC. Open your Bible with me, and you will see that the story is far richer and that the first half of the tribulation is more complex and consequential than many imagine. Much of the modern prophecy teaching concentrates on the AC, global organizations, artificial intelligence, politics, wars, disasters, UFO deceptions, and attempts to identify present-day signs or personalities. Some of those subjects may deserve examination, but they can distract us from a central biblical question. What spiritual deception will confront the world during the first half of the tribulation and who will lead it? We've become so fixated by the drama of the AC's rise that we often overlook a critical figure moving in the shadows. The false prophet riding beside him. The rise of the false prophet is not a side note. It is central to understanding the religious deception that will lead the world into worshiping the AC. One thing is certain time is running short. That great ingathering, the one so many expect before the rapture, will instead occur during the tribulation. During the tribulation, scripture reveals two sharply contrasting responses. A great multitude that John could not number, those who come to faith in Jesus Christ during the tribulation, those who remain under deception and ultimately follow the Antichrist and the false prophet. When that great awakening comes, it will not come quietly or cheaply. For many who turn to Christ, faithfulness will demand everything. Imagine the world in the aftermath of the rapture, millions vanished and questions swirling like dust in the wind. Would you not want to understand the deception that follows? Would you not want to know what lies ahead, especially if you or someone you love were left behind? How will discussions about political personalities, global organizations, um, artificial intelligence, wars, disaster, and present-day speculation prepare your loved ones if the first half of the tribulation and its spiritual deception are ignored? Scripture will be our authority as this book guides you through the passages describing the false prophet's coming influence. If you are curious about what truly happens during the first half of the tribulation, you are in the right place. Many who identify themselves as Christians will be left behind because outward profession is not the same as saving faith. Scripture warns that false converts exist. The deception following the rapture will be greater still as the false light spreads across the world and draws multitudes away from the truth. Together we will examine the sweeping spiritual deception that will cover the world after the rapture, a deception that is already casting its shadow. This warning is not mine alone. It comes from Scripture. The book is for everyone willing to examine these matters through God's word. If you are reading as a skeptic or a seeker, my prayer is that God will soften your heart and call you into the light of truth. His invitation of salvation remains open. And then I quoted John 3:16. If you are already walking with Christ, I pray that these pages will deepen your discernment and help you see familiar truths more clearly. If you are a Christian in name only, resting in tradition, religious activity, or false teaching, may God's word awaken you to the truth that not every path leads home. Above all, my prayer is that Christ will stand at the center of every page. May my word serve as only a vessel, loving, honest, and always pointing beyond myself, so that God alone receives the glory. Before you turn the page, pause. Ask the Lord for wisdom, for eyes to see, for a heart willing to receive whatever his word reveals. Then keep your Bible open and test everything you read, including my own words, against Scripture. And then I quoted 1 John chapter 4, verse 1. Guys, that is why I do what I do here. And um, I'm looking forward to this book going on shelves. I get so emotional when I talk to the Lord about this because this is only through him. This is not of myself, and I just want to reach the loss before it's too late. Anyway, on that note, I hope you enjoyed that little thing. Um, it has twelve and twelve, Elizabeth. Um let's go there actually. So Revelation and the twelve stones and uh it's both. So Revelation chapter twenty-one. So let me share the screen here. So I highlighted all the twelves there so you can see. Let's just scroll up, make sure I'm not missing one. So it's this is Revelation chapter 21, beginning in verse 10. And he carried, make sure you guys can see that, yeah. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone it had a Jasper, right? So it had 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 tribes, right? And on the names, and the names are written on them, the 12 tribes of the Son of Israel. Then when you scroll down, here's the gates, right? And then it goes to the wall of the city, had 12 foundation stones. So you've got two different 12s there. So it's the it's talking about the tribes, and then it's also talking about the apostles. So anyway, that would be Revelation 21 beginning in verse 10, my friend. You can see it right there. Hopefully that answers your question. Yes, Pam. Again, I covered y'all's prayers that the Lord would open the door. Um, publishing takes a lot of work. Um, even talking with Mike. There's a lot of steps in the process if you want to do it right. And that's what I want to do. I want to do it right. I want to put the book where the Hobby Lobby. That's where all the fake Christians go. Because they think I put a sign on my wall that I'm saved. Anyway, I got trust in the Lord, though, Kim on my wall. Because I trust. Okay. All right. Anyway, guys, sorry, that was rude. Um, I'm gonna go. You guys have an amazing night. So, Pam, I'm looking forward to it too. I'm glad you enjoyed the teaching here this evening. Um, so that's it. I gave the introduction for the foundations of our faith. Uh, if you want to go back to last week and then reiterate this week, but moving forward, I I just I cannot ignore the nudge. And this is a really big nudge. So they're gonna be a lot more intense than the RLEs because we're gonna examine uh what's coming out of their mouths together. So on that note, uh who is Greg? I don't know who Miss Stevie Liguini is. Who's Greg? Greg Locke? I don't know. Who's Greg? Are you looking for a Greg? Do you need a Greg? I don't know who Greg is. Stevie Liguini. Um bum bum bum. Greg Locke. What about Greg Locke? The false teacher, Greg Locke? Are you laughing because he's not a false teacher, or are you laughing because I say he is a false teacher? Or are you laughing because I'm saying your name? I don't know. Help me out here. Stevie Laguini. Is your book going to be? That's my goal. That is my goal. So, yup, he's going down. Um, so I find it very interesting, um Stevie, that this is all happening, but the Bible is very clear. I believe it's first or second Peter. It's like a pulling out that scripture verse is identical to Greg's life. Um, him and his Jezebel. I won't even call Ty his wife since she's a homewrecker. But um, the Lord, and even in all of this, though, Stevie, his cult following is still following, which is a sad thing. But um, you know, Greg Locke is a false teacher, he always has been. God had to open my eyes because I was involved in that church before he got into the crazy deliverance. But um when he was still married to Melissa, um, it's just sad because who's paying the price are his kids, if I could be honest. You know, I knew his kids, um, and that's who's paying the price. Um, so thank you for popping up here tonight. Um, but God is in control. Um, what can we do to help in addition to praying? That's really all that I want, Glenda. Um, I know, and I know she's not here tonight, but uh one of my subscribers, um, I don't have to say her name, but she had offered, guys, this is um, you know, probably hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in an undertaking um to do it right. Uh, and again, with talking with Mike just to make sure. So, because that is my goal, uh, Daniel. I want my goal. I want my goal. I want the book, Lord willing, at Barnes and Nobles. I want it in Hobby Lobby. I just don't want this to be an Amazon book. Um, I don't just want it to be digital, I want it to be in people's hands. And the reason being, if I could be honest on that, is because let's just say hypothetically, um, and I I again I make this very clear. I'm not here for the money. So if you cannot afford a book, I don't know what the list price is gonna be, but let's just say you cannot afford that. Guys, listen, we are not to pimp out the word of God, right? And I understand people are gonna go to a book more than they're gonna go to the Bible. It's free. So if you message me, you email me, and you say, hey, Kim, listen, I just I can't afford it. I don't care if it's 10 bucks. Kim, I can't afford it. Do you really think that I'm not not gonna send you that book? Or hey, Kim, I have 10 people in my life that really need this book, but I cannot afford. I can maybe do five, but I can't afford all 10. I'm gonna give you what you need. Okay, that's the provision, Glenda. So you ask, that's what I'm asking for, and God knows that. That's the provision, that's the abundance that I need. It's not just getting the book published, but it's giving the book to who needs the book. Because I'm not here. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be nice to make a few extra bucks, absolutely. Then those are the people who can afford the book, are gonna buy the book. But I would never hinder someone having the book in their hand or sharing it with somebody. Okay, I I told you guys a story about a particular author within the prophecy circle that would not even send the book for free, knowing he makes a lot of money probably on his book sales. And I that was just didn't sit right with me. That's not right. And I'll just so you know it's not JB Hickson, because I'll tell you this much, he I'll give him that much. He too would send you the book if you cannot afford it, right? We're not here to pimp out God's word. I'm here to make sure that should you be left behind, or if you're giving it to somebody, that they have that book, and then I because I think it would be interesting, and all of a sudden they're looking through the book and like, how did this girl know about this timeline? How does she know? Oh my gosh, wait, this is what it says in the Bible, and then the book would draw them to the word of God. The word of God is then gonna draw them to their knees. Anyway, I don't want to get emotional on that because I Glenda, that's what I need. I need God understands what I'm asking for, He knows what I need, He knows what I need financially because I cannot do it, and I would never ask anyone out here to do it. If God has put the burden on my heart the way that He has, God's gonna open the door. And I know He will. I do. I sit in that faith and I have for a very long time that I'm not here to make a profit off of Christ. It's just as salvation is free, so is everything that surrounds him. So anyway, Billy or Tommy, Billy or Tommy, help me with that, Daniel. Help me, please. Help, help me, help, help me. I don't know what that means. Um, okay, so listen, on that note, I'm gonna take take care of my 16-year-old acne on my face. Whew! This girl's a hot mess lately. Um, I've got another one here. Red Soul. Oh, hey, you've been here before. I've seen you. Good evening, good evening. I'm actually closing up here for the night. So apparently I need to go a little later than uh seven. I feel like I get more people the later the hour goes. Um, maybe I should start going live at 8 p.m. Who wouldn't send? Um, I don't want to say his name. Let's just say because I really don't have anything bad to say but that. But um, so I don't want to say his name. But let's just say he's he's written quite a few books. I'll just say that. Um anyway, so I don't know. What do you guys think about that? Going live at eight on Friday instead of seven. That would also help me when I get off work and unwind and have dinner instead of scarfing it like I did tonight. Let me know your thoughts on that, whether here or on post. Um, if we can go at eight instead of seven. All right, guys, listen. Um, so Stevie, I'll leave you with this. So, speaking of Greg Locke and anybody else, um, just continue to lift up his kids. Um, those are the ones who truly need Jesus. Eight, okay. Okay, thank you, Glenda. Yeah, I think eight. I feel like we'd probably get a lot more engagement at eight, and this is going into really important stuff. But um your dime, your time. Yeah, so maybe eight. I'll just I'll try it. Maybe next week we'll do eight and see how that works. Uh, anyway, guys, seriously. Um, you know, with the Greg Locke thing, uh, if you're not aware, federal agents raided his house. And now um, I guess all of his like assets and money, I don't know everything, so I don't want to speak out of context. But basically, the man ain't got nothing right now. Um, and I really don't feel bad. Right? He has led people astray for so long, even before he got into this Thai deliverance shenanigans. Um, he's always been terrible, but um, you know, if anything, it should bring him to his knees, and it's not. So therefore, I know that he's truly not born again. But anyway, with that being said, uh his proverbial house is being shaken, and he still doesn't realize it. So, but he was rated with over what 50 FBI agents, and then um I think their church, they're not moving, or it's not like secretive or anything, but um something with the church. I don't I don't remember. Listen, his cult following, no matter where they go, they're gonna follow that man. So, but his kids, um Destiny, Malachi, and Hudson. Hudson is severely involved now in uh Jesus' image, and uh, you know, destiny. I've heard things through the grapevine about that young girl and Malachi, just like Evan, still seeking the attention of his of his of their dad. Um, and yet I don't think they're really understanding the love that Jesus has for them that far outweighs what Greg Locke could ever do. So on that note, guys, listen, we need to pray for that man. Um pray for his kids, that they really come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. So on that note, I'm gonna play my intro and we are gonna call it a day. Okay. Love you guys until I see you here there. I never I can't even show George under the free stream yard. So anyway, until I see you here, there or in the air. And Glenda, thank you for asking. I really do appreciate that. You know I love you, girl. I love you, I love you, I love you. I love everyone. Okay, until I see you here there or in the air. Bye.

And as I always end it, I will see you here, there, and Titus chapter 2, verse 13, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.

SPEAKER_03

So you saw me the whole time rubbing my nose.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, that was funny. You guys didn't see the video, but you heard it. Anyway, I think I don't know what happened there. Bye. That was funny. I'm glad I wasn't picking my nose. I wasn't looking at my pimple. All right, bye, guys.
