Thank you Foreign Grace and peace you guys happy Friday welcome to the standard of Truth podcast I am your host April Chapman um I don’t have a a soft opening monologue for you guys today I I really don’t I thought about recording one however what I’m going to talk about tonight I
I needed to just come on camera and just be as as raw and as authentic um as possible so tonight’s live stream is going to be a little less structured um as in previous weeks because this is a very serious topic um and it’s also a very sensitive topic
Um as you know here on this show the name of the podcast is called the standard of Truth and so whatever topic I Broach I am not going to sugarcoat it um I I I I’m not doing it for the sole purpose of hurting anyone’s feelings however in order to be found faithful
And in order to honor crisis Lord in my heart um first I have to just bring scripture to bear and talk about those things that many of us don’t really want to talk about because it steps on too many people’s toes so I want to welcome everybody to
The live chat how are you guys doing it seems like it’s been forever since I’ve seen you I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and from the depths of my soul I want to thank the standard of Truth YouTube subscribers who have been supporting me
On my most recent Venture which is the standard home and living Lifestyle brand so before I get into the content I just want to say thank you to you guys um it was a little overwhelming at first because once you turn the on switch and the order start coming you’re like okay
I gotta fill these orders I gotta fill these orders and stuff was kind of flying off the shelves and I had to reorder some things which will be here shortly so I just want to thank you to everyone who is supported the podcast in this way and I’ve got some new special
Products of the week for you but right now I just kind of gotta get into the topic at hand tonight so see build the live stream I named it idolatry is what I do the profane worship at William Murphy’s Dream Center Atlanta so a little background story first I need to know
Can everybody hear me okay I don’t know what’s going on with my own audio but I sound really low in my own ear and so leave me a one in the chat if I sound like I’m okay um thank you so much brother Virgil for the Super Chat I appreciate it thank you
Thank you so much for that absolutely um and thank you so much sister Shamika actually girl your stuff is going out in the morning if I’m not mistaken I don’t know I will double check um but thank you so much for your support she said I ain’t want nothing I
Just wanted to say hey so thank you guys so much for those super chats um did you guys leave me once okay so I sound fine all right well then maybe I’m just losing my hearing I don’t I don’t I don’t know what’s going on with that but oh well anyway um
Why did I decide to do this topic tonight well for one my subscribers you guys keep me stopped with things to talk about and so um one of my day ones hit me up on messenger it was like I don’t even think he said anything he just sent the video
And um I watched it and I was like see this this is why I can’t this is this is why I can’t um I’m going to share with you some footage and to be fair I don’t want to misrepresent the Dream Center I’ve actually done a video on Bishop William
Murphy in the past and it wasn’t um a favorable one right a couple of months ago we had Bishop William Murphy um pretty much upset um the fact about the fact that Roe v Wade was overturned and so I basically provided some biblical critique and commentary on why that was problematic
And why I felt that him and many of the other pastors that kind of roll in his circles were wolves because wolves do not um Shield the sheep from the truth um even if the Sheep don’t want to hear it they’re going to be faithful to scripture and tell the Sheep what thus
Saith the Lord um and in the capacity of Pastor in that particular video he was not doing that and um so for that reason you can go back and watch that video it’s buried down probably last summer uh I think the the the the thumbnail has some purple in it so if
You want to go back and watch that I would suggest you do that but tonight we’re talking about a little different issue but it stems from the same man-centered worship and misguided Focus um that we tend to see in a lot of these false churches and what is that
Um it’s idolatry and so it’s no secret if you saw in the thumbnail I had posted a banner of some Greek letters so for those of you um who are unfamiliar with black Greek lettered organizations this video is not a critique of that um system if you will it is but it’s not
There have been other content creators who have done phenomenal jobs explaining um the incompatibility with of Christians and Greek letter organizations I would suggest you reach out to uh or go to Titus 2’s Miss Titus 2’s Channel she has a catalog of interviews and biblical critique explaining the issues with that this
Video is going to just be a little bit more specific as to how the man centered idolatry and false god worship has crept into the church and so I’m not going to believe what a point I’m just going to show the video and then I’m going to come back on
And we’re going to discuss it from a Biblical perspective so give me one quick second let me get this queued up here come on let’s go [Applause] Thank you Foreign [Applause] [Applause] And that’s for Unity So let’s go let’s go [Applause] Crazy Foreign [Applause] Still here I’m still here I’m just and to get it together so um you guys saw that so to make sure I wasn’t misrepresenting um this religious Institution um I was like okay you know I understand within black church culture we tend to you know during the month of
February we we celebrate our ethnicity and and the the gains that we’ve made historically as a people and so you know you want to pay homage uh you know to people who came before you and paved the way so I was like okay you know maybe this
Was a uh auxiliary black history program and they decided that this would be one aspect of them honoring uh their ethnic identity but then I was told no no this wasn’t like a separate like history program this was actually during a worship service so to my understanding The Dream
Center has like Saturday services for people who just can’t make it to church on Sunday so they they you know um and I assume they also may have services on Sunday as well I don’t I don’t run in these circles but to my understanding that is the case and this
Was in a service but even if it wasn’t um there is a lot to unpack here and um for this reason I don’t even second segments just we’re just gonna be dealing with this topic from a Biblical perspective um and if I step on your toes if I step
On your toes you will be okay because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is is God please it doesn’t matter if the old Auntie over on the east side of town named April has issues with this you know it doesn’t matter
That you know if some church mother on the south side of town found issue with this our thoughts and opinions on this are completely irrelevant and it does matter all that matters is not spoken on this issue are these things that should be named among Believers and is idolatry
Something that either the Lord takes serious or it’s something that he just turns a blind eye to because it’s not that big of a deal like those are just some of the things that matter at the end of the day so one thing that you noticed uh when this
Tribute first began was the announcer said you know you know Greek life is a lifetime commitment and you know this this goes beyond our our Collegiate date it’s more so about your lifetime Allegiance and I thought that was very interesting because if you you know and I’m not
Greek I’ve never been Greek I’ve never had a desire to really be a part of any of these organizations so I don’t have a dog in this fight like I’m it just doesn’t mean no never mind but one thing that I do know about is this YouTube and you are initiated in
And the Oaths um that you take indicate that you are in this for Life the expectation is when you yoke yourself with these organizations that you are in a covenant relationship with them forever um now praise be to God there have been many people who’ve come to the knowledge
Of the fact that this is blatant idolatry and it is sin and that it’s offensive to God and they have denounced and I praise God for those individuals and I get it some of the pushback that I’m gonna get is well you know everybody is on a different journey in sanctification and
Everybody’s not at the same point that is fine we can actually make an argument for that but that is not the issue we don’t get to claim ignorance on things that have been basically revealed in the pages of Hope right for example not held responsible for things that the
Lord has not revealed through his word so let’s say I am trying to discern the will of the Lord for my life and I’m like Lord you know do business or doing up another business right we don’t have an explicit text inscription that says April vouch not close your
Business right now because it’s not the right time but there are explicit texts in Scripture that tells me how I’m to conduct my business and how I’m supposed to engage in Commerce and fair dealings with people like so the things that the Lord has revealed those are the things
That I am responsible for and I’m held accountable to so idolatry is one of those things that the Bible is sold is so loud like a deaf man can hear it the scriptures are very clear about God’s view of idolatry we see through scripture how the Lord
His own chosen people were guilty of the sin of idolatry time and time again and how it did not go well with them and we can fast forward into the New Testament and there is much to be said about idolatry in the New Testament so if you
Argue with that Old Testament and we knew Covenant you’re right we are we we have a better Covenant and Jesus is better I’m not even trying to if you’re saying Abel you can’t to the Ten Commandments fine we can go there it’s reiterated in the New
Covenant so if you claim the name of Christ and you claim to be born from Above This does concern you so we see here this is Pastor William Murphy’s church right he passes to church here in Decatur and I don’t really want to call it a church I’m
Going to call it a religious gathering because to call it a church would imply some Christian distinctives meaning a church is the Ecclesia the called out ones those the churches made up of Believers people who’ve been regenerated by the Holy Spirit right they have renounced their former sin they’ve repented of
Their sin and placed their faith in Christ and they gather with other believers who share in that thing right so the church is not necessarily a building but it gathered body of believers who happen to gather at a designated place and we share some distinctive things in
Common one of those is that we worship the one true God in spirit and in truth and that we come together um we can make an argument if it’s not on the Lord’s day but when we come together we do things right we sing songs and hymns and spiritual songs we
Make melody in our heart it’s unto the Lord right um we come together to hear the preached word of God right we we come and we have Shepherds Elders right who’ve been appointed in every town right and they expect meaning they say this what revealed scripture has said
Right there are other distinctive things that happen and it might vary from denomination to denomination but one thing is true about the gathered body of Believers is that we are worshiping in spirit and truth and we’re worshiping one true God and one thing we know about the one true
God is that he shares his glory with no one like he’s like I am the god that created the heavens and the earth I know of no other gods now we have false gods right we have Idols that we prop up in the place of the one true God and we
Have Idols in our lives it might be things it might be relationships it might be organizations that sit on the seat of our heart and take the place of the worship that is supposed to be directed to the one true God but one thing we know Christians don’t participate in idolatry
Why because it’s offensive to God and he will share his glory with no one so another thing that I mentioned or heard mentioned in the video was that you and I T Y right there’s just Unity and my question is Unity on the basis of what because last time I checked
My unity in the body of Christ is with other believers but it’s on the basis of the fact that we worship the same God and that we’ve been born of the spirit and we’ve been grafted in and adopted into the family of God that’s the basis
Of our Unity I share No Unity with anyone else outside of the household of faith even Mr board again and you still have familial relationships you know you got your mom and your daddy your brother sisters your cousins aunties and your uncles and they’re all those extended family those
Those familial relationships are still important but scripture teaches that who are my mother and my brothers it’s those who do the will of the father those are the ones that’s my new spiritual family so I’m I’m confused when I hear the announcer say you know Unity I get it
You’ve got nine different Greek letter organizations here so I am assuming that she is talking about that us members of these nine Greek letter organizations were coming together and we have uni we had nine different false gods all under the banner of some sort of by the ring uniting
Together faces of what I’m trying to understand it’s this this issue is not a matter of us not having enough scripture right because I when I go through the scriptures that talk about how offensive this is you’re going to have opponents who say
Um you know well I I I I I I I hear what the scripture says but this is not a matter of not having enough scripture I know for a fact that Bishop William Murphy is not that ignorant scripture is that he doesn’t know that there is something
Significantly wrong here the issue is is that he don’t care how do I know that he doesn’t care because his ministry does not reflect a New Testament Church in function inward or indeed the gospel of Christ is absent and you get a replacement with this new religion there’s something else going on
Here if you go to the website it will tell you that you know we’re we’re all about social justice and and and some of the language on the website uh they’re speaking christianese but we have two definitions one in particular one of their distinctives or or or core values
Is worship talk I’m looking I’m like okay I see worship that in this segment that I just showed you there is indeed a whole lot of worship going on but it’s the worship of self it is man-centered worship it is worship of false gods deities that are raising themselves up
Against the knowledge of God and are actually competing for time and attention that should only be dedicated to the worship of the one true God that is clear I don’t see how on any planet even in the most liberal of churches how you can take time away from worshiping
In spirit and Truth the one true God is hey we’re gonna take a pause for the cause and we’re going to celebrate the divine nine nine false gods in church and not only that but say actually going to dimash them and we’re gonna do our stroll we’re gonna do our
Little dance and our little claps y’all don’t think it’s worship oh it is indeed worship all the hand gestures and the signals it is worship and even if you’re participating in your life but I’m I’m not worshiping God when I do this no you’re right you’re not worshiping the
One true God but you are worshiping the God of this world you’re worshiping the demons that are represented by each and every single one of those idols because each and every single one of those Idols has a Greek god and every false god behind every false god there
Is a demon this is what the scriptures teach so I I don’t see how it can be explained away nor do I see how William Murphy can claim ignorance and save you but I don’t see it in the scriptures where no there aren’t enough explain this away but I am convinced
That most starting with the leadership on down generate they love the things that feed their food and what we saw on display was straight carnality just it it doesn’t get any more obvious than that it was a carnal fleshly splay a man standard false god worship the worst kind what I also saw
Was relativism and pragmatism meaning well we’re black right and many of the members belong to um one of these Greek lettered organizations so in order for us to be relative and to really make Services pop and being and be be like the do it thing on the Block
We abandoned the testimony of scripture that talks about what the church is and who the church is for and what the church should be doing and we do this other stuff instead because it feeds our flesh right like if if I was in unregenerate but unbeliever
Dead in my sin I would have probably enjoyed all of that I probably would have been like yeah yeah y’all get it like oh oh like I I I I can just imagine because I remember when I was dead in my sins spiritually just no spiritual life whatsoever I enjoyed that display of
Carnality it would have it would have just been amazing right but when you’re born of the spirit these things are supposed to bother you like you’re supposed to just be like this is Blasphemous like why are they in church doing this like nobody nobody in that building was just like
Um I don’t I don’t think this is appropriate like why are we aren’t we Christians like why are we doing this no it got full-fledged acceptance and and everybody was just just doing their thing I mean they was they was getting it in they I I don’t know um false god worship
You have all of this carnal settler music being played in the church and and every every everybody’s just comfortable and it’s like it’s no big deal this is this is what we do this is this is how we get down even if you’re a newcomer you you a new
Convert would have been convicted like nah I don’t I don’t think this was appropriate they may not have been able to point the book chapter verse I wasn’t inappropriate but they would have been like this is a tad bit too far so my overall analysis on the on the
Surface is that the Dream Center is spiritually dead there there’s no spiritual life there and they’re not interested in making disciples they are interested in filling the seats with more corpses of spiritually I I um because it just gets worse as as the years passed Purge and it’s
Pastor drifts further and further away from Orthodox Christian practice Christian doctrine all things that Christians are known for they just doing opposite from his advocacy for being pro-choice and the poor excuse that he presented for them to now this know what else we need the next thing I want to talk about I
Talked about relativism and pragmatism right so you can’t justify the means like when we do stuff like this we don’t do it often but when we do it you know people enjoy it and you know this is why the church is down the street can’t fill up their churches because they’re not
Doing what we’re doing this that’s pragmatism that’s like well we’ll do it and it doesn’t have to be biblical right it doesn’t oh I think I’m experiencing an internet issue too hold on something getting a yellow which means internet is a little spotty hold on it’s lagging real bad
It’s getting better we had some inclement weather here you guys I’m hoping that’s not the reason but I can see that there are some connectivity issues and I’m gonna try to um get through this the best that I can um I ain’t gonna get super spiritual things to double jump in the street
It’s just not that great um but I’m gonna I’m gonna I’m gonna get hey he might eat now whenever truth is spoken I I would agree with that the devil’s mad he’s mad like he find no joy he on Jesus in the heart like he’s Satan right um so information like this that
Um is not popular and that will tend to bring conviction of sin and actually lead people to repentance um I I would definitely agree uh with that I’m still lagging but no don’t don’t bind the internet connections don’t don’t do that we just gonna pray we’re just gonna pray um
The other idolatry so we we have false I worship we saw that on display um but we also have ethnic idolatry and I talk a lot about ethnic idolatry a lot and the the reason why I say in addition to the relativism and the pragmatism is why we have ethnic idolatry is because
In circles like this even when they know the truth they would rather say but this is our heritage right like this is as black people in this country experienced that in the third and we had to create our own spaces and our own organizations so we’re just honoring and we’re just you know
Um remembering our history okay that you might make an argument for that it’s still idolatry because for the Christian we don’t Elevate anything above the knowledge of God we don’t take time away on the Lord’s day or Saturday or whenever we are gathering the purposes of worship
I don’t care who it is I don’t care if it is a patriotic Sunday and you want to take a pause for the cause we don’t do that on the Lord’s day so it’s the same or for my black folks we don’t take time for worship that is supposed to be
God-centered and then put the focus on us and our achievements and what we have done we just we just don’t do that and so to me this is just another form of ethnic idolatry because we just love being black so much that we would offend
A righteous and holy God for the sake of celebrating things that the Lord has already explicitly said that he hates Believers worship I would argue that what we saw in this on display it was absolutely worship it was absolutely worship but it wasn’t worship of the one true God
The term spirit and truth right means that when we worship the one true God we’re worshiping him and when we say in the in the spirit of Christ according to how he’s revealed himself in scripture some and we worship we’re working him in in consistent with his character and his
Nature that’s what it means to Worship in spirit in the spirit of the godhead that’s consistent with his character in nature it has nothing to do with this external demonstration of Olam worshiping in the spirit no no it is it is not an outward thing right
Worshiping in spirit it’s the uh who is the object of our worship it’s The Who and the what it’s not the manner it’s the object of our worship and on what basis are we worshiping him how has prescribed for us to worship him or are we creating in our minds
Something that we think is acceptable to him kind of like nahab and and by who and that that didn’t end up too well for them we don’t get to worship God how we want and think that he’s going to accept it it just doesn’t work that way
So for that reason is why I would say this is definitely false god worship and idolatry of the worst sense but there’s also the ethnic worship the ethnic idolatry because when we come to Christ we lay all of that at the foot of the cross I love being black
I give me melanin is beautiful that’s great but there’s no Eternal value in this amen all it does is reflect the beauty of God’s creation and reflect his glory in the earth in the sense that we’re all different shades of melanin and we’re all different ethnicities but we don’t
Worship that we don’t worship what we’ve accomplished we don’t worship the ancestors we don’t worship any of that and that can look different in different settings right um the main issue here is that this is supposed to be a gathering of Christians but I would argue that I can’t I can’t
Call this [Β __Β ] at all this is paganism this is pure pure paganism I mean I I said I’m already not going to get into a whole long drawn out explanation of the history of these organizations and their their rituals and their olds and all the other the
Things that they do that are of pagan origin other content creators have done that if you’re in one of these organizations you already know this you might press that truth and on your in unrighteousness but you already know this but for those who don’t like I said
Go and visit sister uh Miss Titus 2 she’s done extensive content on this and it’s no secret that it is a deeply deep dark and of demonic origin and that it is worship because if you guys have a Hymnal and you you’re bowing down at Alters like
That sounds like worship to me I I don’t know and you may say oh well I don’t do any of that anymore well you’re still yoked up with them and now it’s in the church obviously it’s that important that they had to to them black history this is Black History
We couldn’t maybe had a Friday night event where we talked about you know people in history that have made strides and if it wasn’t for their sacrifice we wouldn’t be here this was their idea of celebrating the achievements of black people was to worship false gods in a
Church and demonstratively so I mean I’m talking about with full regalia and and and the calls and the signals and and all of that it’s just blasphemy it’s blasphemy and it’s idolatry the main point I want to drive home is that there is no neutrality and that’s
Neutrality is a myth what do I mean by that I mean some will argue and say oh well you know this isn’t really spiritual it’s kind of just benign it’s a spiritual it’s not spiritual it’s not demonic it’s kind of somewhere in the middle no there’s no there’s no neutrality right
Um either something is of God or it is not we don’t have the nine activities and things that we do we are either doing something as under the Lord or we’re not and if we’re not there’s only one other alternative so to say that this is neutral and that
Christians now if you’re a pagan and an unbeliever this message ain’t for you I’m talking to Christians those who profess Christ and know there’s no difference well I profess him but you know he ain’t really Lord or I say I’m a Christian but I’m not really a disciple
These other categories that y’all keep inventing don’t exist you’re either a follower of Christ and you’re his disciple and he is Lord of your life or he don’t know you that’s it there is no I professing with my mouth but I’m still kind of living out here doing my own thing that means
You’re not a Christian you’re unbelievable you you’re a Christian in name only which is no Christian at all because the Bible doesn’t speak of a category of people that are un that are not known by the Savior if he died for you and purchase you with his blood
You live for him you don’t live for yourself you don’t do what you want to do you you’re completely completely submitted to the Lord Jesus and that’s that’s it what why they were trying to choke me like excuse me I was literally like started choking out of nowhere have
Y’all seen me take a sip of anything to drink since I’ve been on this live stream I’ve drank nothing out of nowhere to start choking hold on y’all better pray yes please go ahead and hit the like button thank you I appreciate that there are only two types of people thank you um
Chicken grease you are either a child of God or you are a children of Wrath now you can be transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of life that’s what happened to me praise be to God right like I was literally in the world living according to the
Pattern of this world dead in my sin in trespasses living for myself Satan was my father right so this this is not some self-righteous holier than thou message this is I was a wretch on day with no spiritual life and was made alive in Christ Jesus
So this message is for those who if you’re struggling with what you watched and you like I see on some level is bad but I don’t really understand I am telling you there is no neutrality and that there are only two options you are either dead in sin or you have
Been made alive in Christ Jesus you not you’re not you’re not on the road or the past there you’re either there or you’re not and you know you know because Believers we might struggle from time to time with an assurance of our salvation but because we believe the testimony of scripture
That those who will be saved will endure to the end sanctification and and and and and and being a disciple of Christ we know that we’re at war with our sin we’re not just giving giving over to our sin we’re we’re there’s a war and we recognize that sanctification looks different from
Person to person but what cannot be said of the of the Christian is that we’re just living blatantly in unrepentant sin and this this idolatry that we saw undisplayed like there needs to be repentance for this there needs to be like like dude William what is you out here
Doing bro like is the money that good that you you would abandon what you know the description each and then willingly the sheep that you are in charge of shepherding I call you wolf but the sheep that you’ve been you’ve placed yourself in charge of shepherding
That you would just allow this and it’s celebrated and then advertised like it was no like they prepared for this they were preparing for this false god worship they were ready they had the outfits picked out like it it it was planned this wasn’t a spontaneous thing
Every member of the organization kind of knew what they were gonna do and and they made special provision for this this is sinful and it is wrong paganism paganism is always with demon and darkness and and devil worship and we know that these Greek letter organizations are nothing but
Outright paganism don’t come at me talking about it’s about the community service because if you really care about the community you wouldn’t feel the need to have to be a member of these organizations to serve your community you would just serve them in the name of the Lord Jesus why because as Believers
And Disciples of Christ we do good to those in the household of faith we care for the orphans and widows we do good to all people to all men we want great outcomes for everybody that’s why we make disciples and give the gospel but you don’t need to do that under the
Auspices of false god worship like that’s just an excuse that’s typically presented to say oh well they they do so much good in the community and you know the mentoring of the young children and okay I get having a heart for the community and a passion for people just go serve
But if you find yourself that you just can’t do it unless Under the Umbrella of this organization therein lies the idolatry that’s just another excuse that you will present so that you can hold on to the thing that you love so much so what we’re going to do now is we’re
Going to talk about praises to the one true God and how it just doesn’t lead you to want to do this um because typically there should be some sort of conviction of sin but um more importantly than that this is spiritual it is indeed spiritual and how we know it’s spiritual let me
Let me explain it is impossible to be involved in these organizations and divorce yourself from the secret codes the rituals the elements of religion that are present the mythology right the psychology that’s involved during the initiation process along with mixes of History anthropology and Civics and then attempt to dismiss
This as non-spiritual everything that I mention has a spiritual component to it so we can’t we get this from the spiritual we just can’t do it it it it’s not going to work and to help you understand just what the scriptures have to say about idolatry I’m gonna go to
Um Deuteronomy 2. and I want to just read just a few verses to give you guys some context right because like I said this this is not a matter of my opinion I don’t hate William Murphy actually I I would love to see him come to repentance
And just drop to his knees and submit his life under the lordship of Jesus I would separate that because then that means he wouldn’t be leading these people straight but I also believe that um Ward according to his will can snatch people out of these false religious systems we have
We have these false religious systems as a form of judgment right where God kind of gives people over to a reprobate mind to do things and not ought to be done right like ungodly people who pervert the grace of God into sensuality and and they just blatantly in his face present
False worship and Strange Fire unto the Lord um and do it in doing it in the Name of Christ but I want to read um Deuteronomy 32. uh uh actually yeah I want to start at verse 16. and when I refer to they um the context of this is the children
Of Israel and just their abominable abominable Deeds that were done in the sight of the Lord and this talks about what they were doing um and the occasions of it so let me just read this real quick it says they stirred him to jealousy with strange Gods with Abominations they provoked him
To anger they sacrificed to Demons there were no gods and to gods they had never known to New Gods that had come recently whom your fathers had never dreaded unmindful of The Rock and you forgot the God who gave you birth so excuse me the reason why I read that
Is because in in Greek text I’m Greek Lord have mercy in the Hebrew text there are these things called um parallels right so a lot of times when you’re reading in the text of scripture a phrase will be mentioned then another phrase will be mentioned that will parallel that and oftentimes
That is done to communicate the same idea just in different words so in this case the parallels include strange gods and then demons that were no gods so grammatically the demon and the foreign God are the same right the scriptures compare these foreign gods that that the children of Israel were worshiping
They’re paralleled to false gods right and so the tick the text clearly connects Pagan worship with evil spirits the false gods are in contrast to the one true God in that text The Rock was in reference to the one true God let’s go over to Ephesians 5. excuse me
I don’t know what’s going on um why all of a sudden I can’t talk but that’s okay may God be glorified Ephesians 5 verses 1-14 I know that’s a lot right but when we’re talking about things like this the only standard that I know and the only opinions that I have are the
Ones that are in scripture right like I can provide commentary all day long but scripture is going to be the final Arbiter of these things so Ephesians 5 tells us therefore be imitators of God thank you so much sister sister Lisa for that Super Chat John 10
11-14 I’m gonna go ahead and start that and we can absolutely um we can absolutely explore that one that’s a good one thank you so much for mentioning that let’s do that in one quick second right now I’m trying to just catch my breath and not choke um
Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God but sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not be named among you who is the you this is Ephesians 5 this is the Church
Believers New Testament New Covenant Saints those things are not supposed to be named of you as improper among Saints as is proper among Saints let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking which are out of place but instead let there be Thanksgiving for you may be sure of this
That everyone who is sexually immoral or or Covetous that is an idolater has no inheritance in the kingdom of God and Christ let no one deceive you with empty words for because of these things the Wrath God comes upon the sons of disobedience therefore do not become partners with
Them for at one time here’s the key you were Darkness but now you are light in the Lord walk as children of light for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness but instead expose them I’m gonna read that again for people who say well why can’t you just Live and Let Live and just let them people over there do what they want to do I can’t can’t scripture compels me to say something
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness but instead meaning don’t do this and then do nothing don’t do this but instead do this the instead part is expose them yes this video is to expose the unfruitful works of darkness that were done in a church by a supposed
Christian church right in a service that was just it this was just such an offensive stench to God I don’t understand unless you were just dead in sin that is the only way that you could have sat there and be like hey ain’t nothing wrong with this I thought it was nice it
Was quite entertaining like they just they was really getting it yes you were right you were absolutely they was getting it in all right they were worshiping their God in in spirit and in truth yes in the spirit that’s behind all of these divine nine organizations they were worshiping in that Spirit
Right like we lift up holy hands unto the Lord they were lifting up their hands too they were profane hands but they were lifting them up right I mean it’s I I don’t I don’t know what else man other than the fact that you have to be spiritually blind to not
See how this was a problem and if that’s the case I get it the the the solution to spiritual blindness is the gospel so we’re going to get to that but let me fix this take no part of the unfruitful works of darkness but rather expose them that’s what we’re doing
For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret right it’s shameful to even talk the stuff that was done in secret the Oaths the rituals that are spiritual in nature right it is it is shameful to talk about that stuff but when anything is exposed by the
Light it becomes visible for anything that becomes visible is light therefore it says a Waco sleeper and arise from the dead and Christ will shine on you look carefully then how you walk not as unwise but is wise making the best use of the time because the days are evil
Therefore do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is well we know the will of the Lord is that we don’t worship false gods in the house of the Lord we know that much we should be able to discern the will of
The Lord is not what we witness in this video we also can discern that the will of the Lord is that we are to shun the appearance of evil right thank you I got it sorry that was my little stage hand sending me a note um let me finish therefore
Do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is and do not get drunk with wine for that is debauchery but be filled with the spirit addressing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and singing and making Melody to the Lord with your heart and
Giving thanks always and for everything to God the father in the name of the Lord Jesus submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ so why am I doing this because if I was snatched from the kingdom of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Light
It is my job not my special job because I’m not special it is every believer’s job to shine light in Dark Places and what we witnessed that was Darkness that that that is a synagogue of Satan that is not a church True Churches that are separated and set apart the Ecclesia don’t permit
Do not give license to and do not approve a false god worship period and here not only is it it is celebrate so that now not all the church is in sin and that was leading other people to sin is it is just a bunch of foolishness
How is this edifying to people how are people learning that what is wrong with them and that they have a spiritual problem in light of celebrating idolatry and false gods I I mean I don’t I I don’t I don’t know what else to say but what I do know is that
God hates idolatry he shares his glory with no one and it’s not just well I do this in my spare time but God is here it’s like no no it is it is for Christ I live and for Christ I die it is Christ over everything period you can’t have
Allegiance to these two things and something not take priority if you have a you you have an allegiance right they ain’t gonna they can’t occupy the same space and you can’t partake of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons it just does not work
Let me go to Jeremiah 16 10-13 let me just go there um because the sin of Judah scripture records for us the idolatry that was practiced there we already know that many people might say well you know I prayed about it and you know my organization was built on
Christian values and so it is wholly compatible with my Christian faith lies the hardest deceitful and desperately wicked who can know it like you if you’re trusting your own you know imagination and your own heart to be able to come up with some sort of way to
Legitimize this that is part of the problem if scripture is not your final Authority then you will be led astray and you will try to trust your own heart and say well I prayed about it and the Lord didn’t tell me that this was inappropriate so therefore he’s already
Spoken he’s not going to give you a message that is the opposite of what he’s already spoken God has spoken on this issue idolatry is a problem it has no place in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ This is not Christian this is Pagan and you need to repent it’s that simple
But let me read Jeremiah 17 verse 10. I the Lord search the heart and test the mind to give every man according to his ways according to the fruit of his deeds like the Partridge that gathers The Brood that she did not hatch so is he
Who gets riches but not by Justice in the midst of his days they will leave him and at the end he will be a fool I have no idea who wrote these notes you know what I’m reading the wrong chapter I’m like this don’t make no sense
I meant chapter 16 not 17. verse number 10 let’s try that again and when you tell these people all these words and they say to you have the Lord pronounce all of this great evil against us it’s our iniquity what is the sin that we have committed against Lord our God
Then you will say to them because your fathers have forsaken me declares the Lord and have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them and have forsaken me and have not kept my law and because you have done worse in your fathers for behold every one of you follows his own
Follows his stubborn evil will refuse to listen to me therefore will hurl you out of this land into a land and neither you nor your fathers have known and there you Shall Serve other gods day and night for I will show you no favor favor this is what the word of
The Lord was against idolatry now if God’s chosen people are guilty of idolatry and he’s got these days what makes you think you’re gonna slide how do you think you can profess the name of Christ and claim to be purchased with his blood and participate in this and
Thank God is just doesn’t take it serious or that you know it’s no big deal we were just having fun and Reminiscing on our Collegiate days like it was wrong then and it’s wrong now it’s just ranciousness all the way around but here’s the deal we gotta take a commercial break what’s
Going on with my throat and I need to um give a word from our sponsor so will you guys like sit tip because um your girl’s throat I don’t know I need to get a real good cough out I gotta expect to read right just expect to rate some things and um
We’re gonna take a quick break hold on sit tight for one second Thank you [Applause] [Applause] thank you hey you guys thank you so much for sitting tight with me that was a commercial for the standard and the standard home and living Lifestyle brand that is my new Lifestyle brand that I have launched distinctly for a Believer where you can get all kinds of
Lifestyle and home and living things that add value to your life and help you to glorify God in all that you do just to be clear I want to thank you guys for your Super Chat thank you so much for supporting the show I also want to remind you guys do not
Forget to like and share this video if it has been edifying to you despite the technical issues we are experiencing I don’t know what is happening with the internet I still have eight and eight and oh an eight out of ten connection now it’s showing 10 out of
10. I don’t know what’s happening y’all but I’m trying to get me some water in here to kind of help what’s going on with my throat um let’s continue um I want to understand from my critics what the main issue or concern is um I don’t know do we need to watch the
Video again what what we saw was during a worship service um the Greek organizations were allowed to stroll and perform their worship um in the place where worship of the one true God is supposed to be taking place um that’s what that was now some will
Argue you know that’s not worship I I need you to understand it is worship because um if you’re in these organizations you already know what it is um you might lie to yourself but it is it is worship we don’t see you fervently worshiping the Lord that way right um
The topic of of worshiping and spirit and in truth doesn’t excite you the the amount of vigor and and and the amount of energy and and just the loyalty and and and the enjoyment we don’t see that worshiping the one true God but you had no problem doing it there uh we’re
Supposed to be at church worshiping um the god of the Bible but I would argue since the god of the Bible is not preached there that um that’s not what’s happening um at that the religious organization it’s a religious Gallery it is it is not a church
Um I want to go ahead and engage with some of these comments because um there are a lot of them let’s see let me try to see what y’all got going are y’all doing all right out there here we go all right someone says that the holy spirit is the
Difference between them and us I would definitely agree I would definitely agree Denise says that this reminds her of when Josiah cleaned out the temple uh yeah it was it was it was pretty pretty bad um no I’m not gonna put that one up that um Miss Danny says it’s not spiritually
Dead it’s just not the spirit of the Living God doesn’t reside there okay when I say spiritually dead I’m talking about the spirit of the Living God is absent there um they are so I want to say it is Ephesians 2. if I’m not mistaken let me get there real quick
That talks about the the posture or the position the spiritual position of the believer before we were made alive in Christ Jesus and you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you once walked following the course of this world following the prince of the power
Of the air the spirit that is now at work in the sons of Disobedience so miss Danny is right there their spiritual life but it’s not the spirit of the Living God so in fact it’s death it’s a spiritual death but it is a spirit behind this but it’s not the spirit of
God it’s definitely not the Holy Spirit but um it is the spirit that’s now at work the sons of Disobedience so when you see a blatant display of rebellion open rebellion and Disobedience and false god Worship in the sight of God um I would say that that is representative of being spiritually dead
Because they’re not alive uh to the spirit of the Living God the one true God uh someone mentioned that the word Christian is so loosely used and I would actually agree with that so I have some acronyms that I kind of use like sinos Christians a name only
Cultural Christians I don’t really like the term carnal Christian because that’s an oxymoron but I will use the term Christians and name only those are people that they profess some sort of identity or affiliation with Christianity um but they’re not regenerates so they’ve not experienced the new birth
And I’m not talking when I say the new birth I am talking about where you become awakened where the spirit of the Living God quickens you to where you are aware of your sin you repent of your sin and you now live a new life is unto the Lord
Um doing what’s pleasing to him where you don’t live for yourself and do what you want and be like I’m gonna do this any no that’s that’s not what it is and so the Christian name only is kind of like what Miss Hamilton is saying they are Loosely affiliated with Christian things they
Might use Christian language but um Jesus is not Lord um and I don’t make the distinction that you know you can be a follower but not a disciple no you’re either following Christ or you’re not there is no neutrality and they’re in these there are there’s no such thing as these other
Categories of Christians where you kind of got one foot in the world and one foot out no you were not saved like you’re you’re either born again and made alive in Christ Jesus or you’re not there is no middle category such as this carnal Christian that’s unbiblical we
Can’t find it in scripture at all believers bear fruit and they bear fruit in keeping with repentance we all don’t bear the same amount of fruit but we bear fruit some 20 30 64 but you’re gonna bear fruit and it is Progressive no one stays a baby Christian forever that just
God is maturing us and sanctifying us and conforming us to the image of his son he he doesn’t save you so that you could just stay here that just doesn’t happen but um that’s that’s a good one Joseph says there is no biblical support for believers making lifetime oats I
Would agree I would agree um we don’t first of all we’re told we’re not even to do that right um and then if we if we worship in spirit of Truth and we’re Children of the light why would we want to be yoked with secrecy things that are shrouded
And secrecy and and and and just the underground like all that verb is alone should be like yeah this is not something that Christians should be identifying with and I get it a lot of people like well I listen I did that in college and you know I was young I
Didn’t really know what I was getting into until I got into it I get that there’s an argument to be made for that but once you know you’re held accountable remember I said in the beginning of the live stream you’re going to be held accountable for what’s already been revealed and so you
Are without excuse and you cannot claim ignorance my my my my my source of contention for this live stream was what we witnessed happening in a church service where the God of this world was being glorified and magnified in the same place where Christians are supposed to be worshiping the one true God
Um let’s see uh uh yes okay let’s deal with that that’s a good one uh this is my little brother in the Lord but little brother nonetheless their response to your rebuke is that you’re a religious Pharisee well first we need to let’s examine who the Pharisees were right the
Pharisees uh the pharisaical system was pretty much after the close of the Old Testament and you have the inter-testamental period where there was no prophecy and it was silent years there were all these things happening and one of those was where Judaism was morphing into something else where the
Synagogue or the temple was now um you had these these religious ceremonies and you had the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the difference between the two not to give a long theological lesson but the Pharisees believed in the resurrection um and I want to say the Sadducees didn’t um but what
Attic about this religious system was the Pharisees would add to and your commands that were not explicit said and turned into this whole Commerce operation where they were like you know it’s one thing to be ceremonially unclean but now you got to clean the outside of you cut the inside
Of your cup it was like all these added rules and so for my critics who would say oh you’re just being a religious Pharisee you know I’m just being a Christian it’s just you True Believers it’s so you don’t meet many of them these days so it’s easy to
Say that people like me and who share in the same criticism that I am expounding here it’s easy to do an ad hominem attack what you can’t do is deal with the argument from scripture so if you have book chapter and verse in context that could legitimize your false god worship then
Okay great if you were if you could build a Biblical case to say April what you’re saying is you’re trying to bind the conscience of people and make them do things that God hasn’t spoken I would say then yes that’s what a Pharisee is like a Pharisee is someone who says not
Only do you need to dress modest right but you can’t show your ankles you can’t show your eyes you need to make sure that all of you is completely covered up that is adding to the commands of scripture and binding someone else’s conscience is something that the Lord has not there’s no
Explicit command for that we have an explicit command for idolatry so unless you can build a Biblical case that what we witness in that visit video was not idolatry and it was not false god worship and that these organizations don’t represent false gods Greek God they’re called Greek gods everyone ha
Each one of them has a representative god or goddess that represents the organization your argument is falling really flat here you’re not doing too well build me a Biblical case that I’m what I’m saying is wrong and I’ll repent something that William Murphy is not gonna do
I’ll do it I can humble myself and admit that hey I may be a little bit off you know I am I am misrepresenting what we saw in that video and it wasn’t worship it was worship what else do you call that pain homage worship recognizing and and and high holding and
High esteem worship Unity on the basis of something that’s not christ-centered it’s worship I don’t know what else you want to call it all right someone else said um you’re serving another God okay I don’t think that was to me um oh miss Winnie wanted to know I wonder
If this happened because black people are renouncing and denouncing their memberships perhaps the boulee has instructed their passes to encourage this Behavior because that stronghold has been uncovered you know Miss Winnie is on to something because there have been due to the Advent of social media people have been renouncing for years right
Um God is Awakening and opening the eyes of the blind every day right people repenting all the time but I think because of the Advent of social media um people are publicly telling their stories and giving their testimonies and denouncing and maybe membership is down I don’t know um it’s possible
But I know these Gatekeepers the afrostocracy you know people like Jamal Bryants and uh we might as well just go and add William Murphy too yeah they they they have to um maintain the status quo and keep people blind and beholden to these groups and organizations because it
Benefits them so that that is highly possible I don’t I don’t know um now somebody said if you would call the prayer meeting and you could count the empty pews now you write about that you are right about that since the Lisa says our history identity and commitments are in Christ
When are we going to get that I mean seriously this is nothing to play with people amen sister I would um agree with you wholeheartedly um someone else mentioned here uh that people need to renounce these organizations I had to renounce crossing the equator from the Navy it goes back
To the god of Neptune now that’s a new one um I’ve never heard that one um I think I only had maybe one individual in my family serving the Navy I’m unfamiliar with that um but that is quite interesting let’s see let me scroll down because I
Had to scroll all the way up to uh get to that Susie Q says Jamal Bryant wears his letters Sunday mornings when he gives his spiritual TED Talks he does you’re right but we already know these men are not pastors they are hirelings they are wolves and I can’t
Even argue in sheep’s clothing I mean because the Sheep outfit is they’ve traded it in and they just they just full woofery like just full wolf just regalia um if if you go to their website the dream Center’s website was very concerning to me because it failed to
Mention the gospel and repentance or sin I you just don’t find it and it’s difficult for pastors like this to preach on repentance and sin because then they would implicate themselves and so they just they just don’t what you get is a lot of moral relativism
You get a lot of live your best life now you get a lot of motivational speaking cloaked and Christian needs you get a lot of that um but people hearing that they need to be made alive in Christ Jesus and that they’re sinful and need to repent you’re
Not going to hear a whole lot of that I mean how do you preach that message and then in the next breath you know say that Roe v Wade shouldn’t have been overturned like you would think that they would have been rejoicing that babies black ones in particular not
Being murdered anymore but no they were sad and saddened so much so that they stood in solidarity and wore t-shirts right wore t-shirts to um Express how outraged they were because they wanted to support women that that’s what we saw um I agree with chicken grease while you’re here like comment share and
Subscribe with the notification Bell um thank you very much so my phone is going off the hook huh okay all right you guys um I don’t know what else needs to be said about this um it’s just wrong and people people are going to try to rationalize
And and legitimize this and this there’s really no biblical basis to be able to do so um and I get people to say well you know what she’s saying you know that’s for the super Saints you know we we are not so Heavenly minded that we’re no earthly good well
In order to be Earthly good you have to be Heavenly minded because the sole purpose of Believers being here on the earth is to be a light to make disciples that’s the Great Commission you can’t do the Great Commission unless you are Heavenly minded and you tell people of
The Heavenly hope that awaits them or the Eternal damnation that awaits them if they don’t repent and believe the gospel so I don’t I don’t you know I might lose some subscribers from this there’s a couple of faithful listeners of mine that are in these organizations and I get it
It’s not personal it is not against you personally um but to see what I saw in that church service and for it to not grieve you should make you want to make your calling an election sure like just search your heart be like Lord like I’ve been holding on to this Unholy Alliance
For a very long time I like the social status that it was giving and bringing me you know I like the enjoyment that I get when I’m strolling with you know my line sisters or My Line brothers and you know but I get it you still need to repent because
You don’t have any sort of loyalty or Brotherhood or Sisterhood with people outside of the household of faith that is the the family of God is what you should be joined to if you call yourself a Believer if you’ve got other brothers and other sisters that are other
On what basis who’s your father like if y’all are brothers and sisters if Christ is not your father are you are you yoked with the God of this world um because I I don’t I don’t my spiritual family the family of God um we all have the same father
So that would be the question that I have does anybody have any questions for me before um I head on out until I have to wrap it up um let’s see I hold no loyalty to wrong amen amen uh requina said he did not get
Or she didn’t get a notification I am so sorry about that but I didn’t put this show up until late so um I don’t know YouTube YouTube doesn’t really like my content too much so it is what it is um hold on one second guys I gotta send this message
Got it all right I needed to send that anybody have any other question Holiness is still right amen praise God for the individuals in the live stream who have denounced um I praise God for that and I get it you know some people have to do it in
Their own timing but the day you hear his voice like don’t don’t Harden your heart to this message and don’t you want to be found faithful like some of you know what you need to do oh yes okay I’ll play it again no problem let’s do that
For those who came in late here we go Foreign Foreign There we go Okay [Applause] Foreign [Applause] [Applause] Thank you [Applause] foreign Getting it in all their way to hell um yeah so I’m with Chantal I don’t understand how anyone with the Holy Spirit could look at this and feel totally unbothered yeah um I y’all know me I’m always full of words but I just I don’t I don’t know what
Else to do other than to look at that and say it’s been made manifest um you know when things like this happen it’s I believe um it’s done for a number of reasons one to make known those who are his like to make sure that there are clear distinctions so that there’s no
Confusion like you’ll be like well you know that church might be okay but sometimes you know every Church got his issues no no there have been clear distinctions and lines drawn in the sand to alert the world that that church is not a church of the
Lord Jesus Christ that is a church of William Murphy’s own musings that is his church right and he is building followers um to himself and ultimately they’re not worship you can’t worship God like this you this syncretism where you’re mixing the holy and the profane like you can’t
Where do they do this in scripture and it’s not met with destruction and Annihilation like where does this happen but it said it just proves that there’s no fear of God in their eyes at all they don’t know God and it’s very very sad because when you watch stuff like this it’s sad
But then you can say Lord it had not been for your grace I could be worshiping trees right now like I could be worshiping the gods the gods or gods of my ancestors and by your grace you drew me to yourself and and adopted me into the family of God so
We watched it again y’all saw it um this happened in a church it happened in a church or a so-called church but this is syncretism right where you mix you know the holy and the profane and you you know you try to call this Christian but this this is paganism it’s
False god worship it is paganism and it is evil and it is wicked and it is a stench in the nostrils of the one true God um he’s not pleased with this at all um so Mark said these women up here celebrating a life of debauchery yep
Pretty much Nook If You Buck yeah they were they were celebrating they were celebrating the things that the Lord hates in front of the church it’s bad enough that they already did it inside and they had to just take the debauchery outside um and add a little cherry on top
Because it just this was their no it wasn’t Homecoming this was a service so this church has like Saturday services and Sunday I think this was a sun a Saturday worship service um no it wasn’t Homecoming this was at a church I was at a church um
Yeah you got old idolators and young ones you know it just expands the uh the Spectrum you had you know young ones young young false god worshipers the middle-aged ones where I fit in that category and then you had the old season uh uh workers of iniquity so
Yeah the ones that should know better but you know I do pray that God would have mercy and in his grace no one is beyond the grace of God he can snatch the violets of Sinners and clean you up and make you new make you alive in Christ Jesus
Um and that honestly is my prayer and the reason why I do content like this is so people you can expose it shed light um in those dark places and I I just want to leave you guys with the gospel you know the gospel is that what you saw there
That stems from the wickedness in our heart because of this Adam’s sin we are a factory of Idols the human heart needs to worship something we just have because we were created to worship and unfortunately because of sin we have everything else that is the object of
Our worship other than the one true God our sin separates us from the one true God and causes us to live in open Rebellion against him right we don’t do what he says we’re unable to live a life that’s pleasing to him we don’t seek after him but we seek after everything
Else that gives us satisfaction in this life except for the pure hunger and thirst after God and His nature and his character and who he is so sin enters the world separates us we’re now at enmity the scriptures say that unless you’ve been born again you are his enemy what we
Witnessed were enemies of God worshiping the God of this world and doing it under the guise of Christianity but my message is very very simple once you’re made aware of your sin and acknowledge that you are a sinner and you’ve committed offenses not just this offense of idolatry it could be the
Offense in the Sin of fornication or adultery maybe you lie maybe you steal whatever it is no one is righteous no not one no one understands and no one seeks for God all have turned aside and gone their own way but the good news is is that God from the foundations of the
World already had a Plan of Redemption to save a people for himself for his glory and when you believe that the Messiah Christ who came who is God In the Flesh and dwelved among us when you believe that the way to be reconciled to their righteous and holy God is through by
Grace through faith in the sinless Lamb of God who is Jesus who came to take away the sins of the world he will make you a new creation he will take out your Heart of Stone the heart that hears this message and sees and listens to what I’ve been saying about
The idolatrous practices that we witnessed in that video the heart that bucks up against that message and it it makes you feel some sort of kind of way I get it because you’re like I’m in one of these organizations and I don’t really look at it like that you know
Those are just no the reason why you’re struggling and there’s this war and you’re like him and Han between two faltering between these two opinions is because you know it’s wrong and you’re trying to sanitize it and legitimize it and you can’t and it’s because the God of this world
Wants to keep you dead and he wants to keep you blind he wants to steal he wants to kill he wants to destroy but Christ came that you might have life and have it more abundantly in that Abundant Life doesn’t include living your best life now it means Escaping The
Wrath and penalty of God because all of us are under his wrath and under his judgment but those of us who are in Christ Jesus we get to stand before God the Father faultless meaning we are not guilty so the sin that you commit the the idolatry the fornication the
Adultery all of the works of the flesh when you’re found in Christ God the father doesn’t see that sin he sees the righteousness of Christ that’s what you need you need a crisis righteousness imputed to you to cleanse you of that sin right so that you can stand before the father faultless
Because continuing down this road trying to legitimize this idolatry and this sinful foolishness this paganism quote this Christianity it’s going to lead you into damnation and that’s just the truth it made it listen I never said that this message was pretty and it ain’t gonna make you feel good but it’s right and
It’s the truth and it’s the message that is I don’t have anything else to present to you to sanitize this and to soften the blow William Murphy needs to repent all of the people in that video need to repent and if you are not in Christ you need to repent too
And and I just I say that because I love you and I don’t want to see you perish I don’t want you separated from your creator suffering and and atoning for all of eternity for the sins because it you’ll never be able to you can’t offer there’s no righteousness that you can
Offer God and say well I’ve done this I I served all the boys in the Girls Club I do good works my good outweighs this one little area this one little heart affection that I have with this Greek letter organization this is my only issue
He it no that ain’t your only issue it’s not this is a matter of the heart this is a matter of unrighteousness and Unholy affections and Oaths that have yochu spiritually to these organizations that lead you to believe that you could stand in a church where you’re supposed to be
Worshiping God and do this instead it’s spiritual blindness and it’s deception and I’m sorry if the man you call your pastor made you led you to believe that this was okay because he sanctioned it and the church sanctioned it so it must be right you’re being deceived and they
Lied to you and you need to run you need to run like your life depends on it and run to the savior because this this ain’t it um this ain’t it this ain’t it um I don’t yeah somebody said he fell away a long time ago I don’t
I would just saying no his deeds are just being made manifest because I hold to the doctrine of eternal security those who are who belong to Christ they endure to the end when you see things like this happen like in the beginning a person kind of like the
Parable of the soils you know the the word that seed is sown and it’s just like yes and they hold it and they they just they run with it and then when the cares of this life or they get corrupted by just the world they fall away it
Ain’t like they possess Christ and then left him they never had him that was seed that was sown on shallow ground there was no root there there was no true spiritual life there um and so that’s the camp that I would have to put him in um because you yeah uh oh
Someone said um how is it unifying to segregate God’s people in his house an entire section reserved seats for the Insiders who are performing secret rituals while non-greeks sit and watch sister Winnie you right on the money Galatians 3 tells us in the context of being whether when
You’re a Believer there’s no Jew nor Greek there’s no slave nor free there’s no male or female We Are One in Christ Jesus so there’s no room for these distinctions based on those who are Greek and those who not that was a real real good observation Miss Minnie because
The partiality that’s shown here is enough that would force someone to say I have to reject this on the basis of that alone because Christians are not supposed to show partiality we’re not supposed to show partiality on a basis of ethnicity so that would be the the prevailing definition of racism we don’t
Do partiality uh we we wouldn’t do partiality in the house of God like this in this way either same concept uh uh blind leading the blind I will agree with that baptize paganism I will agree with that um it is Satanism it is it’s luciferian worship satanism paganism
You know witchcraft sorcery like we can put it all under that umbrella and it’s the same and I’m I’m not super spiritual okay so I I project that the comments are going to be Lively with the you know you just mad cause you didn’t get in I ain’t never pledge I
Never wanted to um it just the Lord you know that’s just not my story sorry um it doesn’t make me any better I mean I was still a filthy wretch undone that needed to be made alive in Christ Jesus and AKA Delta SG Rose Zeta none of those
Things could have done that for me um I don’t need to belong to an organization when I’m clothed in the righteousness of Christ right I can serve my community and and and and and work uh with my hands for the good of those that I’m surrounded by and I don’t need an
Organization to do that I can just don’t I can just go and do good work because it’s coming from a pure heart there’s no motive there is no sort of I don’t need an incentive um I don’t I don’t need that just if it’s about that just go do that
Um but no you find that they’re not gonna just go do that um they have to do it in the name of delta or AKA or whatever they do that um when the scriptures tell us everything that we do we’re supposed to do it it’s unto the
Lord so how are you doing that but then when you serve your community you’re doing it in the name of Delta there’s the that’s the creeping of the idolatry right there it’s right there in plain view but yet many are still blind to it and can’t even see it
They can’t even see it Let’s Have Mercy pray for your friends and family that you know has either heard this message before because I’m not the first person to say this right and at one point I was gonna do a whole series on this but Titus 2 she’s already
Handled that and there’s nothing that I can add to that conversation I strongly suggest you go visit her Channel listen to the testimonies listen to her um just open up the scriptures to explain why this Greek life is wholly incompatible with Biblical Christianity now if you just you know you you end syncretism
Like that and you don’t really care what the Bible say and it’s not your final Authority hey make it do what it do but um you will be judged for that and God does not take idolatry like like he slayed like he just struck people dead for offering Strange Fire and false worship
It’s the same God and it’s the judgment is equally harsh just because it ain’t happening in real time don’t mean it’s not gonna happen like you’re either gonna fear God or you’re gonna fear man so um let me see oh my phone going off tonight anybody have any other questions um
Oh yeah Miss Winnie Miss Mina said never in a mosque or synagogue we we’re the only ones that will defile and profane the god that we say that we worship and don’t even feel bad about it she’s right like this would never happen in a mosque or synagogue
But with the in this false Christian system this Christianity Inc this church Inc stuff this stuff happens all the times all the time like you just it’s just it’s just irreverent um my thing is I don’t care that they did it at the Dream Center because I
Don’t consider dreams in a real church but stop calling it a church and stop identifying with Christianity just naming something else and then I wouldn’t have anything to say about it but it’s the fact that he continues to parade himself around like he’s a church and that it’s Christianity
That he holds to but he doesn’t it’s why it’s so problematic because it leads people astray you know but praise be to God God will he will pull his elect out and draw them to a sound biblical Church in his timing but at the same time God uses means and he uses
People and he’s using voices like Miss Titus 2 to sound the alarm to let people know that this stuff is not okay and you know I ain’t scared I ain’t scared none of y’all so I’ll just say it and you know I don’t mind being persecuted for my
Faith because I believe the testimony of scripture that says we’re going to be persecuted it’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when um and so if I can help just one person it was worth it like the persecution’s gonna come and I’m okay with that even
From people that I know love and respect me they’re gonna have issues with this live stream because they’re gonna be like see I was with you until you started talking about this now I got to unsubscribe okay I’m okay with that as long as you leave with the truth
This is all that matters it’s it’s all that matters right so uh right the seed which fell among the Thorns these are the ones who have heard and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to maturity
Amen yeah I get it it’s the first time you disagree with me there’s no such ideas eternal security I would disagree let’s we gotta prove it through scriptures yeah Believers it’s not that we must okay when you say endure to the end uh do you believe that we’re in we
In our own strength are enduring or are we kept um by the spirit of God um no the eternal security is there because I’m gonna prove it so let’s go to John Matthew Martin let’s go to John um let me see I wanna I don’t want to say
If it’s 17 and it’s not but let me see it might be uh let’s see I will demonstrate that the scriptures actually do teach um eternal security or perseverance of the Saints right that’s another term for it um no John six here we go John 6
. so I’m in John 6 verse number 37 and this is Jesus speaking Jesus is saying all that the father gives me will come to me and whoever comes to me I will never cast out for I have come down from heaven not to
Do my own will but the will of him who sent me and this is the will of him who sent me so now Jesus is about to he’s exegeting his own words and telling you this is the will of God the Father who sent me he’s saying that I should lose nothing
Of all that he has given me but raise it up on the last day for this is the will of my father that everyone who looks on the sun and believes in Him should have eternal life and I’ll raise him up on the last day so there’s a couple of things there first
When Jesus says all that the father gives me will come it’s not a possibility he’s not saying you know all that the father gives me you know they might come if they endure or if they manage to you know um not succumb to the cares of his life
It’s implying the will is it is definite it is it is it is it doesn’t get any more plain like that will all that the father gives me if the father those of us who were born of of the of of this of the of the spirit we are a
Love gift from the father to the son right we are kept by his spirit so if the father has given us to the son Jesus doesn’t say you know who the father gives me I might raise him up it’s possible that they’re going to be raised
Up he’s like no all that the father gives me not only will they come not only will they come but I will raise them up on the last day why because that’s the will of the father the distinction we need to make is where it says those who believe in him belief
Is not some mental Ascent to the facts oh I believe that Jesus Son of God listen the demons believe and they actually shudder at the thought that Jesus is Lord but they don’t have saving Faith they don’t have a belief in the son in a salvific sense they just have a
Mental assance to the fact that Jesus is Lord they know that with certainty but they’re not regenerated they’re not born of the spirit they have a mental Ascent to the facts that Jesus is Lord so this belief here is not just some sort of cursory surface belief right it implies that one
There’s a basis for that belief and there’s an object of the belief can y’all hear me it seemed like my audio was doing something crazy okay um let’s skip down the 44. no one can come to me unless so this is an if then like this is not happening unless this
Happens no one can come to me unless the father who sent me the father who sent me draws him like you drag you’re being dragged and I will raise him up on the last day it is written in the prophets and they will be taught by God everyone who has
Heard and learned from the father comes to me not that anyone has seen the father except he who is from God he has seen the father but truly truly I say to you whoever believes has eternal life once again that belief in this text contextually it is not just a
Mental Ascent of the facts it’s not I raised my hand and said I believe in Jesus no no it is a belief that’s rooted and grounded in the fact that the father has given you to the son as a love gift Jesus purchased you with his blood and
He is going to raise you up on the last day Believers persevere to the end those that fall away they didn’t lose what they never had they never had it to begin with I think there’s a quote that says the faith that Fizzles from the first was faulty for
I’m screwing it up but basically saving faith is something that a Believer possesses and they persevere to the end they don’t get off track and then be like you know I don’t really believe in Jesus no more and then they kind of pick them up again then they don’t believe
Him no no they actually persevere to the end because all that the father has given Christ will come it is a surety it is not a possibility it is going to happen um I might do a show on that and it’s free if you disagree I get it
But I like the term perseverance of the Saints it’s because those who actually persevere to the end those are the ones that are being saved those are the ones that were purchased given as a love gift from the father to the son hopefully I made sense there I I don’t know
That was a really long-winded um but there are multiple multiple um yeah I don’t necessarily use the term once saved always saved because it muddies the waters because first you have to Define what salvation really is in in American evangelicalism people think that if I walk out I’m saved or if
I just say you know I believe in Jesus I’m saved we would have to have a more in-depth discussion for what it truly means to be saved so I don’t use the term I understand what people mean when they say once they always say but I don’t even use the term
Um because I have to get into the weeds of let’s define our terms what do you mean saved what is salvation in a salvific sense what does that mean biblically because for some people raising your hand and walking an aisle they’d be like I’m saved or people who
Were baptized when they were five um because their parents coerced them to just go down there and do it they’re calling themselves Christians someone said it earlier we’re using the term Christian very Loosely and so I tend to say say those who profess Christ because you can profess Christ but not possess
Him like he ain’t Lord of your life you’ve not been born from above you’re not regenerated you’re just you’re just a nominal professing Christian um but you don’t belong to Christ he don’t he don’t know you right just it’s no different than what scripture says in
That day many will say to me Lord Lord then I prophesy in your name and I did this and I did that like yes but Jesus like I don’t you’re you’re a worker of iniquity you who practice lawlessness he doesn’t say I used to know you and then
I don’t know you anymore he’s like no I never knew you depart from me like I don’t know you I don’t know not saying that he doesn’t have knowledge of who you are he does not know you in a salvific sense all right uh I don’t I don’t know anything about
Uh quoting Calvin I I just I just read the text like how did Calvin get into this and Calvinism like John 6 44 is literally what the scriptures teach I’ll give you another one maybe you know if you think this is Calvinism okay that’s fine um first Peter one
Uh Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ those who are elect Exiles of the dispersion in Pontius in pontus galatia Cappadocia Asia and bithynia according to the foreknowledge of God the father in The sanctification of the spirit for obedience to Christ Jesus and for sprinkling with his blood May Grace and
Peace be applied to you I don’t like skipping the greetings because there’s a lot of theology there um but I won’t get into that but we could add we could ask the question who are these elect Exiles right like who are they but Peter tells us blessed be
The God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ according to his great Mercy he has caused us to be born again to a Living Hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to what we’re born again to Living Hope to what end to an inheritance that is
Imperishable Believers are not given an inheritance that might fade or might perish Peter is telling us that we are born raised from the dead to an inheritance if you know what an inheritance is it’s something that you get later The Inheritance is imperishable it it don’t perish and if imperishable
Wasn’t enough he says it’s undefiled it ain’t tainted it ain’t corrupt it’s undefiled and then he goes on to say it’s unfading incase shouldn’t understand what imperishable meant in case you didn’t understand that it’s undefiled meaning nothing is coming in Satan ain’t coming in and corrupting this because it’s undefiled he says it’s
Unfading and what’s more important it is kept in heaven for you who by God’s power are being guarded not by my power I ain’t that good I ain’t that righteous thank God my salvation is kept in heaven undefiled unfading and unperishable by the god of Heaven because if it were up to me
I don’t know it ain’t too sure but it’s kept by God’s power and is being guarded by God’s power through faith for a Salvation ready to be revealed in the last time that’s deep that’s actually one of my favorite verses um because I that’s the Triune work of the godhead at
Work we got God the Father we got sanctification Happening by a work of the spirit sprinkling with his blood every member of the godhead is active in the security and the salvation of the believer like I’m sorry we will persevere to the end not because we’re that great and we’re
That special we’re gonna persecute persevere to the end because we are being kept we are being kept our sanctification and being conformed to the image of son of his son will result in our glorification not because we’re keeping ourselves but because God by his power is keeping this inheritance
Unfading undefiled and it’s imperishable kept in heaven for us now believe that um yeah I don’t I mean I don’t know how this turned into that conversation but okay I disagree uh p is the perseverance of the same eternal security I mean I mean I just read the text if you know
I mean the white pages in the black letters were kind of clear but it’s okay I I I’m okay with this agreement right I’m okay you can’t have your presuppositions challenged if everybody agrees with you all the time right I’m open to the disagreement um I’m just positioning
Um what the scriptures teach regarding us being kept and um thank God it is not dependent on me because it’s by the work of the spirit that I’m being kept I I just think that righteous just ain’t that righteous uh somebody said it’s rooted in Pride uh let’s see they believe their
Salvation is of themselves and not of God yes salvations of the Lord uh that’s what the scriptures teach and um I I subscribed you know in the video that I just critiqued over at um The Dream Center you see a lot of man-centered theology it’s very man-centered like man is the
Object of and the originator of all things Wicked when it comes to Salvation And when scripture teaches that salvations of the Lord and all that the father has given me will come to me it’s just too many pages in scripture or scriptures in Scripture that teach me
Um or forces me to have a very high view of God and a low view of man um Romans uh I mean all through the Pastoral Epistles talks about Ephesians Galatians how this is something that the Lord does and so yeah we’re just it is what it is oh where’s the video
If you want I will link it um let me pull it up let’s see the video that I uh shared it was pretty blasphemous I didn’t share it in the description box but I will so let me go ahead and get it okay thank you sweetheart I will um
Give me a second guys so I can grab the video and Link it in the description uh where is it here we go I just don’t want it to play oh it won’t because to view it for yourself watch the replay and leave me a comment to let me know
Your thoughts those of you who did not see the video um I have a question going on that logic okay is this a rabbit Trail uh if we’re losing how in the world can we make it to Heaven we’re awful at being holy on our own
Um let me see what was the question I have a question going with that logic that we could lose our Salvation how could we lose it and if we can lose it how in the world can we make it to Heaven we’re awful at being holy on our
Own yeah I would agree with that um I think the reason why people really believe that a person can lose their salvation is because they don’t really understand what salvation truly is and how much of a work of the spirit and a miracle it is the doctrine of regeneration when we
Read in Ezekiel where he’s like I will pour clean water on you and I will do this I will I will I will it’s a lot of eyes it ain’t a whole lot and you gonna do this like we’re cause to walk in his statutes we’re we’re cause to do this
And I’m gonna do that um if scripture didn’t lay it out like that then I could see how people would believe that but when we take the entire testimony of scripture um and we allow scripture to speak and we allow scripture to interpret scripture it is it is difficult to build
A case that this salvation that was preordained and for through the foreknowledge of God it is difficult to understand how we are the ones um if we couldn’t raise ourselves to newness of Life how are we going to keep it on our own I I don’t I don’t know I
Don’t I don’t get that one but okay um let’s see yeah y’all are going on a whole another Rabbit Trail so right yeah thank you bro um so it does not depend on the man who Wills or the man who runs but on God who has Mercy contextually absolutely um
Like the golden chain of redemption if if who God has saved he’s gonna glorify he’s gonna sanctify like all of those things are going to happen and it’s something that God does I I would definitely agree with that so anyway you guys we’re at the two minute and two

Trim top last week I wore a cute little Peach um v-neck and I sold out of that one so bad I don’t have no more mediums they’re coming in this week but I got Smalls larges and extra larges of the top that I rocked last week this week is this
Swiss dot smocked real top perfect for gate vacay but here’s the disclaimer so don’t say I didn’t warn you I love this top it is so cute however it does cut right at the waist so if you are a lady and the Lord has really blessed you up at the top
You might need to go up a size because it’s smocked right so all of this this is give right here um but the other issue is if you’re well in doubt at the top and you got like you know like like a little pouch and some you got some gut
This ain’t the top for you like I’m borderline this almost is borderline not the top for me but I like it and so I wear it with some high-waisted um jeans you need to wear it without me either high waist or you need to wear it with um
If you’re gonna wear it with shorts like on vacate on the summer it’s totally appropriate to wear on the beach however like if you raise your arms up you know like raising a roof like it’s gonna rise up it just is it is designed to be um it’s more it’s more
Like I’m not that big but I ain’t that small and I’m wearing a medium and for me I feel like I need a large just because I don’t I don’t like how it’s kind of cutting here but I love the top and so what I’ve done is I wear it with some high-waisted
Um some high waist leggings or high-waisted jeans now if you don’t have problems in the midsection like you don’t have a stomach and you just you just rocking your little four on your little six this is the top for you it is really going to flatter uh my more petites
Um us us inums that’s we hovering almost in them double digits and up you can wear it but you’re gonna have to modify it some because it is designed to um flatter smaller waist and so I know you’re like why would we buy it after
All of that I just want to give the disclaimer in case you buy me like oh my gosh it looks so cute depending on your body shape it’s gonna fit you different you may have to go up a size so I’m wearing the medium you
Know I ain’t hanging out but I would be if I had on different bottoms so this is this is your vacation shirt or your um you just gotta wear it with something higher because there’s a propensity that it’s going to rise depending on like I’m
Doing a lot of this and now I’m gonna pull it down a little bit because I just felt a little side of me exposed and I didn’t want to be exposing that way so anyway um those are my products for the night all of those can be can be obtained at

Of sovereign election that guarantees the success of around the world we will not build the church according to the changing whims of an ungodly culture we will change that ungodly Culture by the power of the immutable gospel all I have is God wrapped himself in flesh died on a cross
Nailed my sin there too was placed in the grave rose again on the third day ascended to the right hand of the father and despair making intercession for me until such time as my salvation is completed and he takes me home the more they see the more they will love him
Stop giving them all this silly fodder and life principles and lay before them live your life in solitude crying out to God live your life on your knees live your life with your viables turn asunder live your life for the people of God to be able to present to them
The beauty of what he is the glory of his cross There is no such thing as Mother Nature God rules and Reigns over everything there’s not a leaf that falls from a tree that God did not call it to fall at that very moment God is in control of every single thing meticulously ruling over the entire universe
