tent hallelujah rejoice in the lord always and again i say rejoice amen you may be seated all over the house thank you for being here this fall weather is coming upon us quickly amen feels good i like little i like a little hoodie weather thank you for being here tonight and uh of course we'll be we'll be transitioning in the coming weeks and the coming couple of months into our from our fans to our heaters and so we'll certainly make everything comfortable and accommodating we don't want it to be too comfortable it is a tent revival amen so we gotta have a little bit of the elements in the atmosphere but i i love our wednesday nights amen you know it's funny we've been under the tent now a few wednesday nights and uh i don't even remember what the building looks like anymore i've not even been down there and that's just all turned into the to the because the kiddos kingdom we call it right to all of the gv students and so they're all down there all the young people but uh what what a blessing to have an auditorium that that you can't even functionally use on wednesday or on the weekends because people just keep showing up because people are hungry that's a beautiful thing there's a time that this crowd right here on a wednesday night would have been double the size of any easter crowd we would have ever had a global vision and it's just unbelievable to watch what the lord's doing i know a lot of people like oh yeah we love what's happening on sunday i love what's happening every day around here small groups are blossoming and you know it's i know it's it's fun on sunday when the place is packed and standing room only we're baptizing 50 people that's i love that it's it's fun but i love bible study and prayer meeting too man i love just getting together with god saints and just worshiping and just bearing each other's burdens and just being here for a purpose i'm here for a reason i want to hear from god tonight and i believe i've heard from god tonight before i got here and so i got a word that i want to share with you that that i trust the lord will use i was a little bit late i knew i was going to i told my wife i said i'll be coming in on two wheels uh it's i normally i'll either go super early or super late at night to the tree to pray and i've been on the road a lot just just preaching and running hither and yawning so i've not got to go as much as i want to and and so like at five o'clock i just went home i said hey honey i need to borrow the car i said i think the lord wants me to go to the trees at five o'clock it's almost church yep i'll probably be late but i just feel like god wants me to go to the tree before church so i did and i'm glad i did and i'm glad i was a little bit late because god just put a little something in my spirit i want to share with you in bible study here in just a little bit how do you believe god still speaks to his children amen he does that so tonight we want to go into a time of worship which we would consider a time of prayer and man you talk about some prayer requests we got a stack of them tonight we had like double the stack that we normally have calls coming in text coming in emails coming in facebook messages coming in all the time of all the people just just begging asking requesting that we pray for them and their families a lot of things going on and i'll tell you we're living in some chaotic days aren't we man more sickness more attacks from the enemy than you could ever imagine more attacks on people's homes and marriages more wayward children last night we were in ohio and they had a tent set up that would it would maybe supposed to seep like 200 people they crammed like 385 400 chairs under it and then 550 people showed up and it was just it was just packed and i'm used to being able to preach and turn things over to the pastor and maybe catch my breath for a minute right and just kind of transition to the book table and meet and greet line and all of that last night there was no transition time they just began to come forward and i mean we just i probably stood in line and prayed for people longer than i have in a very very long time i don't mind that but you talk about just grueling and just the the excitement and the anticipation of that but it just drains you just laying hands on people and praying over for just one after the next problems and cancer and divorce and wayward children and bankruptcy and losing their job because they won't take the jab and all of this unknown i mean just person after person just weeping after weeping tear after tear after tear after tear and we walked away realizing that people are the same everywhere they just need a touch from god they're the same everywhere i don't care if i'm in ohio i don't care if i'm in tennessee i don't care i'm under a tent in some beautiful building people's needs are the same everywhere we need jesus and he's still the hope of the world i'm not looking for anybody to swoop in and save us except jesus and so tonight we want to we want to pray for a lot of people tonight on these cards that need prayer if you're watching on facebook and youtube and our streaming platforms just just put your prayer requests right now immediately this very moment right there in the comments section hundreds of people all over the world will pray for you i promise you there are thousands of people watching live right now and tens of thousands more that will watch it later and people will pray for you so just put your per request right there in the comments section and while that's going on two things will be going on my wife will be down front we'll have a big old stack of prayer requests as you'll see and i want people to come and get these requests you can take them back to your seat but there's something about humbling yourself on the ground and just coming forward and just kneeling at an altar i know this is just a staging area and there's nothing spectacular but you know what we call it an altar because it'll alter your life if you use it every now and again it'll change your life it'll change your home it'll change the atmosphere of this place if you'll just find a place where you kneel or you stand and lift your hands and you just fully surrender completely to god and you out loud pray over these requests you say well what if we're all praying out loud at the same time god can understand every bit of it every bit of it and then while that's going on we'll have some folks in our prayer team that'll be standing right down here we'll pray with you pray for you pray over you pray around you lay hands on you and whatever it is if you walked in we said every week if you walked in with a burden it's your fault if you walk out with the same one we have people that are pray healing over you and pray blessings over you and play peace and joy and comfort and encouragement over you sometimes you just need to know there are people in your corner that are praying for you no matter what addiction you're struggling with no matter what you are dealing with no matter how far down the steps your week or your day has been a bad day does not mean you have a bad life a bad week does not mean you have a bad marriage right a bad mishap with one of your kids does not mean that you're a sorry and a bad parent it just means bad days happen and sometimes you just need people to lay their hands on you say you know what the sun's going to shine again it's going to be all right god's still on the throne and so i want my beautiful wife to come and she can begin to pass out these cards you stand all over the room even if you're a guest we'd love to have you come pray with us tonight you come grab these prayer requests come let's lay all over this area up here and pray and if you need prayer just come to my right your left let somebody lay hands on you tonight get that healing you need tonight come tonight and you just share the burdens on your heart with them tonight they'll pray with you they'll pray for you you come by name call these things out and let's celebrate what the lord's doing here tonight not just by hearing us but by answering our prayers call unto me and i will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not saith the lord and you come there's a praying church a church that believes in the power of hitting its knees and coming before the throne room of god if we get thinned out on the prayer request although there's many many many of them when you're done with yours just hold them up one of our ushers and grab them we'll pass them around to other people in the congregation tonight that need them ((music playing)) hallelujah this is the most powerful moments as a church family we have i love to preach i love our worship i love to give i love fellowship and meeting and greeting and baptismal celebrations but i'm telling you everything god's doing is because of what we're doing right now on our knees and his presence everything don't take it for granted very few churches on the planet emphasize prayer anymore but jesus said my house will be a house of prayer that's his prerogative that's his command for the body of christ so you come let's pray ((music playing)) folks are still coming still have a few left people praying all over the place many many folks over here being prayed for there's still time for you if you've not come yet and you need some prayer come on come on the ((music playing)) father we enter into your gates tonight god and we just come with our thanks to you lord lord we thank you that you are faithful you are faithful when we are not the bible says great is thy faithfulness o lord so tonight lord we just come and we thank you that you are faithful lord with everything going on and as pastor said just a few minutes ago so many people burdened and just carrying so much on top of them right now lord whether it be their marriage whether it be health problems whether it be children or their job or whatever it is lord we know that you are in control and so tonight lord we bring all of our requests to you we have made our requests known to you tonight lord and lord we thank you that you hear the prayers of your children and lord that you answer us and it may not always feel like your answer comes on time but you are an on-time god and so we thank you for that and lord while we're waiting we are going to praise you because there is something so beautiful in the weight in the stillness of being in your presence knowing who you are that you are the great i am you said i am that i am and so lord we know that no matter what is going on that you are still emmanuel you are still god with us lord we thank you that we have a hope as the anchor to our soul that we can trust in you god lord we thank you that you are sitting on the throne room of heaven right now and lord that you have allowed your presence to come down in this place lord you have just opened up the windows of heaven and lord we are so thankful to come and to fill your spirit to fill your presence but lord the truth is is that we don't have to come here to do that we could be in our car we could be in our closet we could be in our bed we could be at our cubicle at work lord it doesn't matter where we are because you are an ever-present god and so lord we can rest in your presence every moment of our lives lord we can pray without ceasing and know that you are with us your word says that you will never leave us and you will never forsake us and so lord we just thank you that no matter where we are we can abide in your presence we can go into the shadows of the almighty we can enter into the secret place lord and god we can sing praises unto you and lord we can pray and lord we know that you will turn everything for good to those who are called by the lord jesus christ lord that is a promise in your word that you work all things together for good and so lord tonight we just come and we stand on your word god and we say that we know we know that we know that we know that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask or think and so lord tonight we just thank you that you can do what we cannot do lord that you can come in and you can bring life where there is death lord you can bring restoration and healing and wholeness to us god where we are broken you make us whole when we are frustrated and chaotic god you can bring us peace because you are the prince of peace and so lord we just thank you that you are everything that we could never be and lord we thank you that in your word it says that it is finished it is finished for and so tonight we just thank you that no matter what we're facing we know that your word is true we know that you came and fulfilled the law for us and lord that it is done there's nothing that we can add to that and nothing that we can take away from that father and so lord we just thank you we thank you for who you are the great i am yahweh the name above all names lord we just worship you and we praise you in jesus name amen let's just stay in this posture of prayer and worship ((music playing)) ((music playing)) i'm caught up in your presence and i just wanna sit here at i'm caught up in this holy moment ((music playing)) oh i'm not here for blessings ((music playing))

heads up the cross our jesus christ and they not forget the lord he said is by his death i am alive because of christ i am ((music playing)) ((music playing)) except the cross jesus christ may i not

playing)) ((music playing)) because of christ i am alive ((music playing)) because of christ because of christ because of christ all because of christ because of christ i am alive ((music playing)) amen beautiful song beautiful truth you may be seated i want to invite you for a few moments tonight to a very familiar verse perhaps from many of you in the bible and i intend to only deal in context with the one verse tonight expositionally that is i want to explain it and explain to you why it's on my heart tonight but it is it's one of those verses that a lot of people divert their messages from ever quoting and people don't like this verse and it's not a verse that's that's a coffee mug verse i can promise you of all of the t-shirts you have seen at lifeway and all the bumper stickers and and all of the the happy-go-lucky coffee bug coffee mug early morning facebook posts this is not one of them for the purpose of encouragement although i want to encourage you tonight because the word of god is indeed that it is the word of the lord and so i want you to find your place while the students are finding their place and they'll be heading out so all of our students 6th grade through the 12th grade and while they're leaving i want you to go to revelation chapter 21. would you please revelation and chapter 21 tonight in the word of the lord revelation and chapter number 21 let me remind you that if i had one pastoral pet peeve in the world it's when you add an s to the book of revelation there is no book of revelations in your bible it is one continuous revelation of the lord jesus christ and so the book of revelation not the book of revelations all right just so i'd get that out there praise god and i want you to go to chapter 21. we're going to pray i'm going to read the verse and then i'm going to just give you a quick backdrop as to why i want to preach on this for a few moments tonight and then we want to pick apart this this very controversial verse and it's not why i'm dealing with it you know a lot of times people say things like this well we wish that you were as bold biblically as you are politically well first of all i don't know what that means because i view it all through the lens of scripture praise god but uh if you were looking for me to be more bold biblically than i am politically you're in the wrong in the right house tonight right you're in the right place because uh this is a verse that is bold all by itself this is a verse that is bold just at the reading of it not even the teaching of it and so i want to remind you if you are here if you're visiting or if you're watching online if you are used to you know skittles and cotton candy and a lot of msg in the preaching then this is going to be one of those opportunities where after you've eaten candy for so long and somebody tries to feed you a steak you get the get the gag reflex this is a gag reflex verse right here okay and it's not why i'm teaching on it but it's in the bible so we got to deal with the whole council of god as we said last week have i now become your enemy because i tell you the truth and so tonight i want to give you a prophetic warning from the most prophetically warned book in the entirety of the bible the book of revelation so let's pray and we're going to jump in father tonight i pray that you'd settle our hearts i pray you'd calm our spirits i pray lord that we'd be anxious for nothing and lord we've prayed we've come before your throne we've come before your presence you are here tonight it is evident in this place so remove distractions may they fall to the ground like chains and may we focus on the bible it's a big book it's a beautiful book but one verse tonight needs to be dealt with and so i pray in this room and online right now and later tonight and tomorrow whenever this is viewed and watched again and again and again that lord tonight the warning would be heeded because we are not going to deal with thus saith greg locke and global vision we are going to deal with thus saith the lord god almighty tonight so gather glory unto yourself and we thank you for what you're about to do in the mighty name of jesus our savior we pray and all of god's people said revelation chapter 21 notice if you would please verse number eight but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death this is not one of those verses that you would put in the introduction to a book entitled how to win friends and influence people this is not a coffee mug verse this is not a happy-go-lucky verse this is a verse in the bible that is scary let's just be honest it's a verse in the bible that's very abrasive but it's there for a reason in the context he has just referred to what is going to take place in the kingdom when god makes all things new and he tells us that the people that will enter the kingdom of god are the spiritual victors those that have overcome the world by faith now understand they do not overcome in order to be saved they overcome because they are saved and they inherit what god has made for them as a proof of the power of the gospel transforming their life but in contrast to that god now tells us the people that will not make it into the kingdom the people that will not make it into what we call heaven the people that will not make it into the prepared rooms of the mansion that john 14 1-6 clearly teaches from the lips of jesus but i say this tonight when i went to the tree every now and again you can hear a train in the distance you hear airplanes all the time because it's extraordinarily close to the airport but when i was at the tree today i was praying i said lord i just i need you to drop some stuff in my spirit lord i've got a few things i'm burdened about some things i'm praying about and i said lord i just i just want to feel your presence and i love it when i ask god that and the wind picks up that always helps me out real good amen so it got windy and off in the distance i could hear it that train come across in tracks you better look out don't park on the tracks you better watch the lights watch the crossbar and in that moment revelation 21 8 flashed in my heart in my mind and i can call it a prophetic warning because it's from the most prophetic book in the whole bible these are things that are happening now things that will happen and you can bank on the fact that if god said these people will not inherit the kingdom then these people shall not cannot and will not inherit the kingdom jesus did not say you should be born again he did not say it would be a good idea to be born again he did not say go through life and live with a hope so think so maybe so or the deacons are going to vote so he said ye must imperative command ye must be born again the most important decision on the planet is the fact that you know jesus christ has radically changed your life because of the power of the gospel jesus is not one of many ways to heaven he's the one and only way to heaven that is plain in the bible that is a theological fundamental staple of christianity and without that you have nothing but a man-made manipulated religion jesus is the cornerstone to everything we believe in christianity but in revelation chapter 21 and verse 8 he's very plain he's going to show us the the opposite of what it looks like to be a victor the opposite of what it looks like to be an overcomer he says these people shall not inherit the kingdom of god as a matter of fact they shall have their part it literally means their inheritance because they earned it in the lake of fire revelation 21 verse 8 notice what he says he says but the fear full i find it interesting that the cowards are the first ones to go to hell you heard what your pastor just said right he said the fearful those that are cowards are the first that are turned into him jesus said if you're ashamed of me before men i'll be ashamed of you before my father which is in heaven and we have created a culture of cowards not just in america but around the world i'm not just talking about the covet debacle i'm not just talking about six feet social distancing and mask and vaccinations i'm telling you there's a spirit of cowardice that has gripped the hearts of people and by the way that spirit of cowardice has gripped the pulpits of america and when you have fearful pastors you will have fearful parishioners there is no doubt about that and the bible says right here clearly in verse 8 of revelation 21 as a prophetic warning that the first people to be turned into hell are the cowards now why is it that he says the fearful cannot go to the kingdom because faith and fear are diametrically opposed and they cannot flow in the same vessel at the same time now he does not say there will not be times for fear i get it he is referring to a consistency of somebody that is a coward that lives in fear and they're shy and timid with their faith because there is no faith and have you noticed there are so many people that say well you know one day i feel like i'm saved one day i'm not you know maybe i am maybe i'm not let me tell you something if you're born again people will know it if you're saved you will know it let the redeemed of the lord say so whom the lord hath redeemed out of the hand of the enemy fooly on this nonsense that you've been saved by the glorious gospel-filled god of the universe and nobody knows about it that is heresy that is rotten theology to say that you are born again and nobody knows about it if you are born again everybody ought to know about it and you shouldn't be ashamed to share the gospel of jesus christ you may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer you don't have to know everything there is to know about john's highway or the romans road or the ten commandments but at the end of the day you can tell what tell people what jesus did for you if he actually did something for you right but he said the first people to go to hell are the cowards hell gonna be quite full isn't it the fearful do not inherit the kingdom of god that's not what greg said that ain't baptist theology that ain't church of god theology that ain't pentecostal theology that is bible theology plain right there the fearful shall have their part in the league of fire you know why we've raised a generation of fickle individuals because we've raised a generation of cowards our churches are filled with cowards our politicians have been overrun by cowards the world is run by cowards and i say unto you ladies and gentlemen life's too short to die a coward and the first people to go to hell on judgment day are the cowards they are unwilling to stand up and herald out the truth because they themselves have never been set free by the truth now that's what the bible says the cowards god's not giving us the spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind i'm not real smart but i'm not going to concede that i'm real stupid either so don't say amen but if god's not giving us that spirit then somebody else has and you better know something about me i do not have a spirit of fear i may have a spirit of wisdom at times i do not have a spirit of fear and i can promise you there is not biblically politically financially maritally i don't care how you slice it or there is not an ounce of cowardice in me i'm done with cowards i ain't fellowshipping with cowards i ain't preaching for cowards i ain't pastoring cowards i ain't messing around with cowards i ain't going to dunkin donuts with cowards because cowards are the first one to go to hell is what the bible says the fearful we could preach a series on each one of these words but notice what he says but the fearful and unbelieving now you would think that that's a given right well if you're unbelieving of course you don't go to heaven unbelieving here means full tilt rebellion they refuse to believe the truth of the gospel they got their own way they got their higher power well you know brother lock i can worship a doorknob just as well as you worship jesus oh no you can't that doorknob can't change your life that door knob will send you to hell but jesus will take you to the kingdom you can worship a rock you can worship a statue you can worship buddha confucius and rest that confused crowd but at the end of the day there's only one risen savior and that's jesus christ the king of kings and lord of lords the lamb slain before the foundation of the world the alpha and the omega the beginning in the end and the bible says that those that will not make it into the kingdom are those that are fearful and those that are unbelieving those that refuse to repent mark 1 15 and believe the gospel you know somebody says why do they have to repent to believe the gospel because you've got to change your mind about all the stuff you believe before you can believe the truth you know sometimes people need religious repentance maybe you weren't wicked and deviant and sexual and ungodly but maybe you got to repent of the fact that you have been manipulated your whole life by a man-made denomination that told you you've got to do this and you've got to do this and you've got to do this you better repent of having to do that and trust jesus christ he's the only way to the kingdom of god unbelieving people cannot be saved we are saved by faith we live by faith we die by faith and the bible says without faith it's impossible to please god so if you can't please god without faith you sure can't go to hell without it he says the fearful the unbelieving and then he makes this statement and the abominable that ain't the snowman that's the people that do things contrary to the bible and we're not just talking about people that just a little bit we're talking about abominable wicked vile ungodly rebellion against the clear teachings of the bible you know there's only a handful of things in the whole bible it's a big book that god calls an abomination and by the way i don't care if it's old testament or new testament if god calls it an abomination i'm not going to buddy up to it like a teddy bear if god calls it evil if god calls it sin here's the problem isaiah said there's going to come a day which by the way we are in that day right now that good will be called evil and evil will be called good and truth will fall in the streets and people will trample upon it and that's where we're living people think we've lost our mind for being in this tent on a chilly wednesday night to listen to the bible being screamed at us they think we're crazy for our beliefs but god says look if you live contrary to the wheel and the word and the way and the dictate and the oracles of god the bible says the abominable cannot be saved you know why they're abominable because they're unbelieving and they're fearful all this goes together these unbelieving cowards live abominably according to what the bible says i don't even have to tell you tonight some of the things in our culture that have become accepted abominations and we're supposed to cozy up to it well you know for the greater good you know for the sake of unity look there's some things i'm not supposed to be unified with jesus came to bring a sword the bible says he said come out from among them and be ye separate saith the lord and touch not the unclean thing and i will receive you what fellowship hath light with darkness what fellowship hath christ with belial what fellowship hath an infidel with those that believe in the gospel of jesus christ there is a line that has been drawn in the sand and god says don't you mess with abominations he says the abominable shall not inherit the kingdom of god but shall be given over to shall have their part their inheritance in the lake of fire now greg didn't make that up that's not something i learned in seminary it's something the bible clearly teaches in revelation 21 8 the prophetic warning don't give in to abominations now look you can tell tonight i'm purposely guarded as far as slowing down because i want you to feel the gravity of what i'm saying tonight and sometimes i fear that my message can get lost in my big personality me tell you something i am not giving in to the alphabet cult in america ((applause)) g b t q b l m e i ain't giving in to the alphabet cult i'm not that doesn't make me a bigot that doesn't make me a homophobe that doesn't make me a hater that makes me a bible believer god says do not yoke up and teddy bear with abominations that's what the bible says now by the way god can save anybody anytime anywhere because even paul said and such were some of you but you're washed and you are clean so i'm just saying you have to understand that there's a reason we don't unite with things god calls clearly abominable we can't we can love people let me say so there's a difference in acceptance and approval you understand that right we have to accept everybody right where they're at no matter what their lifestyle choice is that does not mean we approve of their lifestyle choice we still preach the gospel we still love them but we stand on truth we can love sinners without hobnobbing with them every day and letting them affect us evil communications corrupt good manners even gravity will tell you it is easier for them to pull you down than it is for you to pull them up there are some people you just don't hang out with every day people say oh time my goodness i'm trying to get over this addiction i'm trying to get over this temptation i just don't know what to do listen if you're trying to change your life change your phone number because if you don't change your circle of friends if you don't change your circle of influence you will never change your life no matter how much you go to church no matter how much you fast no matter how much you pray you gotta cut those toxic people out of your life you can't mess around with abomination and not get dirty ((applause)) what papa say you lay down with the dogs you're gonna come up with some gonna get some fleas on you so we can talk a lot about abominable things but by the way if you don't think it's a cult it is overtaking everything in this nation in 2015 when our whole ministry began to explode social media wise god had it all planned out was when the supreme court made their ridiculous unlawful by the way decision for same-sex marriage that's an oxymoron by the way there's no such thing in the animal world much less in the human world so here's what they said and and listen and there was a moment of compromise amongst them and the churches because they said well if you just give us gay marriage we'll leave you alone but we knew that wasn't true because we knew we were about to open pandora's box because i'm gonna tell you something i'm gonna go to the next point you can get mad all you want to it's never been about gay marriage it's never been about human rights it has always been about the kids it's always been about the indoctrination of our children okay i'm telling you it's always been the indoctrination of our kids look we're starting a big homeschooling network right here in the church because i'm telling everybody get your kids out of these public schools ((music playing)) get your kids out of these pornographic infested public schools now i know i know i know listen listen there are some good teachers i'm not against the teachers i'm against the teachers unions they are corrupt they are abominable and they are teaching our kids nonsense our kids don't even know what america is and what it was founded on they can't even tell you that in the year 1492 columbus sailed the ocean blue because columbus was a racist everything's racist you notice that for example they going to cut the feed on this one they say things like this well and then they realize how stupid it sounds well you know i got my i got my protection but since i got my protection you still got to get your protection or i'm not really protected then you ain't got no protection right that's like saying hey look i'm saved but you better get born again so i don't go to hell ((applause)) so when they realize how stupid it sounds right well i i've got the jab but you got to get the jab so my jab works they're like oh wait that don't make any sense oh you're a racist that's what i mean you're a racist that's what i meant to say everything's racist everything's homophobic you ever thought about that word that is ridiculous phobe it means you're scared of something i got arachnophobia ((music playing)) i'm scared of spiders i mean think about that i have iraq no phobia i am scared of spider i don't know what being afraid of heights is called hydophobia i don't know way up there a phobia but there are some things to be afraid of i ain't never met a homosexual i'm afraid of ((applause)) got four amens and three claps on that right wing watch gonna have a time without ((applause)) i ain't scared of none of them i scared the straight ones neither i scared none of you i ain't teddy bearing up with no abomination i ain't so i'm just telling you okay i'm trying to be i'm trying to be super cool super legit and super calm so i don't seem crazy but we're only halfway through the verse but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable now check this out and murderers what murderers like man i'm telling you one thing i ain't never done that well number one i'm i'm very glad of that number two there is a difference in premeditated murder and self-defense so don't let people say things well you know the bible says thou shalt not kill i'm not going to premeditately kill anybody but you put your hands on my wife and kids and i'll blow you to hell ((applause)) see how calm i said that ((applause)) i must remind you patriot your second amendment protects all the rest of them and you let them take your second amendment you go wind up like australia is right now well people can't fight back there's a reason they took people's guns there's a reason socialism comes for the guns there's a reason communism goes for the guns but you gotta know something in america there's enough rednecks ain't gonna give up their guns we ain't gonna give up our guns so self-defense is not murder what he's talking about is premeditated butchering of people god says if you're a murderer you cannot enter the kingdom of god that's what the bible says it's simple i mean he just like sticks it right in there cowards murderers they're both going to hell cowards murderers wow that's a big leap nope same verse just a few words apart now we'll say one thing that's interesting jesus said in matthew chapter 5 i did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it he said moses said unto you thou shalt not kill i say unto you if you hate your brother without a cause you killed him already you murdered them in your heart and then he talks about raqqa and then he talks about thou fool and then he uses all these words of utter vilification what he's saying is this if you have that much hate in your heart there's no way you have been let loose by the love of jesus christ that's what he said the fearful the unbelieving the abominable the murderers now watch this and whoremongers that's not a word we use often is it we gloss over that one we use like netflix terminology right we we like to take bible words and dissect them and make them mean something that the bible never meant for them to say so the reason nothing is sin is it anymore is because we don't use the way that the bible describes them and so we don't even understand the context in which god was deriding these very sins because we say things like this well you know the bible says it's this but we say it's a you know extra you know marital affair that that sounds better than adultery that sounds smoother than you whoremonger right so we soften the blow by changing the reality of what it is god says abomination we saw i know alternative lifestyle see we change the terminology so we wonder why there's no conviction we've taken all the conviction out of the bible because the conviction is what convicts us we don't like that so he says look he spares no words he says these people will not go to heaven whoremongers now let me be very expressive in how this is explained it really comes from two words a word we don't use a whole lot right but it's in the bible and then mongers from the idea of being a mongrel an animal here's what it is it's a person who has animalistic passions that they cannot control sexually they're a whoremonger now i'm not saying that christians cannot fall into the sin of adultery or immorality but they won't live in it you see a born-again christian can get drunk but they're not going to live drunk a born-again christian can fall into fornication but they're not going to live in it every day so the phrase horror-monger is reserved for a person that has such unbridled passion that their conscience has been seared and they just hop from relationship to relationship to relationship for no other reason but sexual gratification they're whoremongers what the bible says now i know some of you perhaps were would have been a biblical whoremonger before you got born again but now if you're born again don't be that way okay it's real simple if you ain't married to them don't have sex with them somebody say amen ((applause)) that's what the bible says brother lock you just so old-fashioned oh yes oh yes it keeps us all out of a lot of trouble when the preacher's old-fashioned amen so he says whoremongers so if you were that way god saves you from that and let me go one step further and say this whoremongering jumping around sexual deviants maybe not way back then there's something that initiated that plot there's something that triggered it but i'm gonna tell you these days what triggers its pornography now please you can quote me don't miss quote i'm not saying that people in church that struggle with pornography are going to hell now if you don't struggle with it if you don't if you just get involved it never bothers you you probably are going to hell you need to get born again but when you look at it if there's that inside you saying stop ding ding ding ding warning warning warning warning that's the holy spirit saying don't you click on it don't you click on it don't you click on it because your memory has muscle it won't forget it you'll never forget those images i'm 45 years old i know it's hard to believe i can still tell you the place i was for the very first time in my life when i was eight years old when somebody handed me a pornographic magazine you never forget it men are visual men are visual i'll tell you why we got so much whoremongering in america because people are consuming it on a regular basis because look i'm not eight years old with a floppy magazine in my hand anymore now we got high-tech redneck cell phones you can click a button to get anything you want anytime you want and that's a danger if you have christ in you you will be able to bridle your sexual passions marriage is honorable in all and the bed is undefiled the bible says hebrews 13 4 but whoremongers and adulterers god will judge so god says if you're not married don't have sex if you are married have a lot of sex thank you hallelujah ((applause)) amen shout it pastor danny hallelujah you say man i just never heard a preacher like that you need to get a preacher that preaches the bible that's what the bible teaches it's why some of your marriages are a crap fest you think you can be intimate with your spouse once a month and think you're all well connected no you're not you're so disconnected it's ridiculous you got all kind of thoughts of other men you've been watching on as the world turns and your husband is looking at pornography at three o'clock in the morning because y'all ain't got no intimate life together and then you say oh my goodness i can't believe the pastor four times said the word sex i can't believe i ain't said it 15 times ((applause)) get you a healthy marriage it'll keep you from some wicked evil nonsense holy mackerely but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable hand murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers thomas is 820 sorcerers now don't beat me to the punch line this has a two-way street to it there are two connotations which are both right both applicable and both correct and both theologically concrete in the text let me give you the first one he says sorcerers witchcraft people that practice satanism obviously they're polar opposite to the gospel they cannot inherit the kingdom of god you would be shocked maybe you would maybe wouldn't i'm not going to get back into it again remember my 12 or 15 minute rant last wednesday night on the masonic lodge you'd be shocked how many crazy people came out of the woodwork after that one but let me tell you something if you honestly love jesus and you honestly know the bible it is impossible to be i said practicing some people are just deceived into the third level master mason nonsense because they want a ring in a fish fry you cannot be a bible christian and a practicing mason at the same time you can't you got to choose one or the other they say oh i've stepped into the light uh bucko i stepped into the light when i got jesus christ not when i walked in some stupid lodge at the end of tate lane so there's a lot of sorcery in the church there's a lot of witchcraft that is crept into the pulpits there's a lot of witchcraft in the church and god says that these sorceries shall not inherit the kingdom of god you know we we think devil worship is so far out there it's something in some indiana jones movie where somebody you know ripping somebody's heart out and screaming molly come ali khan you know some guy falls down in the fire and then the heart burns and oh wow that's satanism you kidding me this town's full of satanists nashville tennessee is full of satanism america is filled to overflowing with satan i've sparred so many times when i had a twitter account i have sparred so many times with the actual you know real blue verified checkmark church of satan they can't stand us and i'm like thanks be unto god the church of satan don't like us ((applause)) they like joel osteen they don't like us right satanism has crept its way into the church in america and nobody wants to call it out did you know some of the most well-known corrupted evil politicians you know are full-blown devil worshipers i've seen videos that make you sick you know none of these people that say stuff like this ever get sued because they don't want discovery when i tell you that hillary clinton is a high priestess in the satanic church i wish to god she'd sue me over it i've seen the video footage that woman worships the devil one thousand percent people like well you gotta pray for us she's been turned over to a reprobate mind i'm telling you satanism has infiltrated politics in america it has infiltrated politics in america to all this pedophilia all this sex trafficking comes from they got to have a supply and demand and there's a big demand and they're lacking supply right now so guess what you do when you lack supply you open borders so you can get more supply they ain't fooling me church they ain't fooling me i don't care if you shout or not i thought i was gonna be calm but i'm about to come unglued now i'm gonna go one step further and say something else that might shock some of you but i might as well i've been really praying about this it's been confirmed to me probably three or four times once today in my office with me and my wife and another precious lady that's under the tent right now prayer warrior been confirmed i'm telling you i've known this for a long time so i understand wednesdays are smaller than sundays but i don't care about size-wise i'm gonna tell you something did you know in our church in our services on a regular basis we have practicing witches that show up at this church to cast their silly little hocus-pocus harry potter spells and incantations against the church we see you you ain't scaring me god will drop a house on you like he did the wicked witch of the west and your little dog too we ain't scared of you witch we scared of you satan i'll call that mess out i'll tell you if i if i shake hands on one when i even feel it i'll grab a microphone i'll name them in front of their body i hope they get born again by the grace of god the wing will let no witchcraft up in his church no sorcery up in his church no wizardry and demonism up in this church listen we got practicing witches trying to cast spells on it ain't gonna work because the blood of jesus all the spell i need praise god i got a spell it's called the gospel ((applause)) so we got your number so you can get on your broom and ride on up out of here ((applause)) we've got your number think that mess gonna work voodoo dolls i ain't playing weapons of our warfare are not carnival mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds casting down imagination and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of god and bringing the captivity every thought to the obedience of christ i'll call all him devil worshipers out i'll call him witches out i'll call him masons out i'll call him sorcerer i ain't playing with him you can't practice that mess and tell me you're saved quit all this well you know there's good magic and bad magic it's demonism's what it is stay out of that occultic mess reading all them during crystal balls going to them stupid people reading your palms that is demonism listen i got a pastor friend that did that mess one time because he wanted to see how real it was and he said i'm telling you right now as sure as i know my name that when that person opened their mouths the voice of my mother came out he said it was a demonic spirit impersonating my mama quit calling him stupid phone numbers all that projection nonsense now here's the only reason i want to call one of them i want to call them 1-800 whoever they are madam so-and-so when they answer and say yes who am i speaking to i want to say you're the fortune teller why don't you tell me who you're speaking to bucko huh won't you read my credit card number in my wallet in my back pocket jack if you're so good huh i'm telling you demonism is crept into the church and it better be called out i know this is two wednesday nights in a row we've really gone way on out but i'm just telling you we're living in the last days if we don't call it out now we're gonna do we gotta save our kids don't we i'm not gonna let this church fall prey to what a lot of churches fall prey to we're going down swinging if we're going down ((applause)) so all that safe we got your number witch and cast all them stupid spells you want to but i'm going to sleep good tonight i'm going to sleep real good tonight you're going to toss and turn and think i know who you are call you i don't suddenly praise god but i'm going to sleep real good and i am going to call you out on sunday if i find out who you are right for their body stand you up run you out here with a broom praise god run you plum out of here anyhow the second part of sorcery is the fact that it's i'm not trying to press you i'm trying to pass you and teach them it's the greek word famikia it's from where we get our word pharmaceutical from ((applause)) so he says the fearful the murderers the hormone and the sorcerer people that are under the spell of pharmaceuticals people that are under the spell of other worldly things that cause them to think and do and operate and see things that they wouldn't normally see and do and think in in ways they would wouldn't operate we call it a spirit of addiction now is there addictions that we all yes i understand that but we struggle with them you see the struggle is proof of your calling if you don't struggle you're not saved man i struggle with stuff when i do something i know the holy ghost don't want me to do man it bothers me it grieves me it tears me up and then he tells my wife on me praise god so look the fact that you struggle is proof i get it man you fall all over yourself but look after a while there needs to be some gospel consistency in your life and he says those that are under the spell of pharmakia shall not inherit the kingdom of god does that mean that saved people can't struggle no it means that saved people real safe people will not live in active addiction ((music playing)) they can't how can they how can a true believer live in active addiction and be possessed by jesus and by pharmaceuticals at the same time it's impossible it's impossible it's just what the bible says and i'm just hillbilly enough to believe what the bible says look i hate him on twitter but i can't wait to get done and get on right wing watch and see what them crazy people have said about us tonight all right we got to finish up and as if anything else need to be said and idolaters that's real simple you love other stuff but more than you love god you love people more than you love god you love fame more than you love god you love your stuff more than you love god you love your car more than you love god you love your kids more than you love god you love your animals more than you love god you love your house more than you love god you love your job more than you love god you love sports more than you love god right it's not that you can't love those things it's that if you love them consistently more than you love god you're an idolater and a consistent idolater is not born again because the born-again person puts jesus first not last that's what the bible teaches that's what the bible teaches and then he goes on and again we can talk about all these for such a long time you've been a very patient crowd and i appreciate that and then he says and all what's the next word liars then it's interesting his heads shall have their part in the lake of fire everyone where we got that phrase liar liar pants on fire right there it should be liar liar soul on fire that's what it should be ain't no pants it's a whole kid in caboodle fear not him which is able to destroy the body but fear him that's able to destroy both body and soul and hell the bible says all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire now let me set your mind at ease because i know some of you have pinocchio'd a few times in your life since you've been saved the idea behind lying here is somebody that lives a habitual lie their nature is to lie they have a judas nature about them they even sometimes want to be around the truth but they live a lie and because all of these are sequential and in order he ends and says all liars all those people that choose to live a lie that choose to live their life lying to others and ultimately lying to themselves putting on a jimmy carter smile fake it till you make it like everything's good but you live a double life he says okay you'll have your part in the lake of fire so if you are an individual that's saved if you tell a half truth which is a whole lie it should bother you remember granny used to say now that's a that's a fib i don't know where that came what's a fib that's a lie so i know we've we've all been caught in and by the way you will get caught in them because if you're a liar you better have a good memory do you catch that if you're a liar you better have a good memory because you gotta remember what you told him then what you told her then what you told them and usually your lies will come unraveling because you end up telling somebody else something different than you told them oh when your teleprompter goes off you all find out joe biden's a liar right you better have a real good memory if you're a liar because you will tell on yourself very very fast and he said all liars all people that live deceptively all people that are double sold they act one way around one crowd but another way around another crowd now have we all been deceitful oh yes it's our nature we gotta pray against that nonsense there's times that we've said things that we shouldn't say even inadvertently and there's times that we've purposely led people astray and guess what when that happens as a believer you better deal with it do not continue to live in that people say well you know honesty is the best policy no it's not it's the only policy nothing best about it is the only policy there is freedom in the truth does not the bible say the truth will make you not just set you the truth will make you free so the devil doesn't care what you believe as long as it's not the truth because the truth is freeing from bondage so he said look all liars everybody that is a habitual consistent liar that will not deal with it from a convictional standpoint all liars he said right here in the bible with the rest of them shall have their part their inheritance in the lake of fire which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death the second death that interesting billy graham used to put it like this if you're born once you'll die twice but if you're born twice you'll only die once you're born again to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord and tonight as the wind was blowing and i knew i'd be a few minutes late just enjoying god's presence out there at the tree we got a good band they can carry on without me for a bite [laughter] there's your warning if you ain't saved you better get saved if you're not born again you better get born again and let me just say this to dovetail into this and then pray and be done for those of us who are saved the multitude of people in this room and at least online that would profess to be saved let me say something it's time to get right with god it's time to live like we're saved it's time to live like we're born again it's time to live like we're part of the body of christ we don't go back to the weak and beggarly elements of the world once you've tasted the fruit of righteousness the nectar of nonsense doesn't taste good to you anymore this world is not my home i'm just a passing through my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckoned me from heaven's open door and i can't feel at home in this world anymore i can't feel at home in this world anymore and if you believe the bible would you shout amen tonight father thank you tonight for a prophetic warning warning from a prophetic book thank you for revelation 21 verse 8 lord it's a it's a deep verse it's a t-bone steak verse it's hard to deal with but it's in the bible so we got to deal with it lord i pray if there is one person tonight in this room or online under the sound of my voice and the voice of the gospel if they have never been born again tonight may they be saved and set free by the power of jesus christ but lord we pray that the church would get right lord why in the world we still live like we're still unregenerate why would we still live lost why would we cuddle up and buddy up to what you clearly call an abomination why would we live one way around the ungodly people and another way around the godly people why would we do that lord no time for hypocrisy life's too short for that nonsense lift up your head your redemption draws now as the old-timers used to say we got to make hay while the sun shines we got to work while it's yet today because the night comes when no man can wear and lord tonight we we put our eyes and our heart and our nose and our ear to the word and we absorb and obey what it says we want to reach a lot of lost people and lord as we hear the train whistle coming down the tracks help us to load up as many people as we can help us to keep preaching the love of jesus the power the mercy the forgiveness compassion of the gospel but may we never forget that the god who loves us is the god who will judge us can you are king of kings but you are lord of lords you're the shepherd the shield and the strong tower and we thank you for your love but your love only makes sense because of your wrath and we see that your wrath is at a place where even in this nation we are going to see the abundance of judgment god forgive us we repent we must turn because judgment must begin at the house of god it doesn't begin at the white house it begins at this house so bless what we've heard tonight and more so bless how we will apply to our life and i pray for the tens of thousands of people that are and that will watch this later tonight and throughout the next coming days and weeks may people be set free because of the authority of the word of god in jesus name and all of god's people said amen thank you for listening tonight in the midst of a of a difficult text i love you guys we'll see you this weekend 10 30 every single one of us each one reach one let's bring as many people as we can we're going to have a packed house a line full of people to be baptized it's going to be beautiful i love you if you love jesus shout amen god bless you you are dismissed
