Blessings to Israel presents Discerning the times a program committed to encouraging you to view current events through the lens of the Bible now in honor of the one and only true God the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob please join us for today’s Program the preacher is to call the people to a higher level we are to protect the glory sir of the house of God and not allow anything to take place in God’s house a person allowed a service to take place in God’s house the other day and they posted it I
Would have never known I’ve never been to that church I wouldn’t know how to get there I have no idea where it is but you know a person don’t have to know how to get that if you post it yourself uh the word divine in the CH Christian doctrine refers
To God that’s right Jehovah am I right the god of the Bible God and father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Jesus the Christ the Divine One welcome to Discerning the times so great to be with you once again this week and we’re going to circle back today on a topic that
We’ve discussed quite extensively over the past several months and I’m referring to the Greek sororities and fraternities we’ve had multiple guests on to speak to the idolatry that we see in these organizations and we had actually planned something different but I came across this sermon in which I
Heard Bishop Patrick wooden senior the pastor of the upper room Church of God in Christ who you heard in that opening clip and he was addressing it and I I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to just park it here for a moment and and the Holy Spirit does that sometimes we have
Other things planned but he say no just just keep it right here for a moment so I’m I’m following the leading of the holy spirit in sharing this with you today and I know some of you may say okay you you’ve talked about this at
Length and we get it but again I I’m following the leading of the holy spirit so you heard him in that opening Eclipse speak to the divine nine and for anyone that is not familiar with that term that is the phrase that has been given to designate the nine predominantly black
Fraternities and sororities so of course we know fraternities and sororities are not exclusive to blacks only there are ethnic groups all across the board that are in these organizations or have their organ organizations but he is speaking specifically to these predominantly black ones and so I want to share an
Excerpt from his sermon today which is going to take up the bulk of the program but I’ll be back with some commentary at the end so let us rejoin Bishop Patrick wooden Senor pastor of the oer room Church of God in Christ speaking on the divine nine Paul said to
Us he says to them there are many gods talking about the world but to us there is one God that’s what Christians believe one God now I believe that there’s one God I don’t believe that there’s 10 Gods I don’t believe that there’s two three four right or four however you
Want to say it 5 6 7 8 nor do I believe that there are none and yet a preacher the other day allowed what is called the divine nine that’s right right that’s right to Worship in the sanctuary of his church I wasn’t there and I would have never known anything
About it had he not posted it just as I’m being streamed right now um I realize that and people have something to say and my position is people have miles you can say what you want to I don’t want to speak up for me I don’t have to fight my battles God does
That but the Christian Church used to believe even the Divine One the Divine [Applause] one we didn’t know that there was nine Sphinx Kesh Atlas feus centor Manera Apollo tho shakina anus haran Horus I guess I’m saying that right Palace Athena Aurora count them all up cuz some of
These gods and some of these groups have more than one divine nine consist of 16 total gods I didn’t think that that was but one the greatest verse of scripture in the Old Testament it’s called the Shima it says know ye Israel that the Lord our God is one God
Amen the whole new testament I said the whole Old Testament I mean the whole Old Testament is based on that passage leima what is that Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse 4 I guess we need to look at it I’m going to preach but I need to deal with this Deuteronomy
6 and don’t y’all walk out on the scriptures here and I pray that those who disagree with me how about disagreeing with me according to the scripture now if you don’t like the color of my suit I understand that you don’t like the way I wear my
Hair it is funny looking I understand that there 10,000 things that you could criticize about me my addiction is not always what it should be honest understand that and you’re not perfect either but this is not a personality contest nor is it a beauty contest nor
Is it a uh how you wear your hair contest it’s weather was in line with the Bible right the Shima verse four of Deuteronomy 6 here oh Israel the Lord Lord our God is one Lord and thou shallal love the Lord thy God with all thine heart with all thy
Soul and with all thy might sir love him with your whole heart that is with all of your awareness with all of your consciousness love him amen hard with all your understanding and with all thy soul with your whole body and mind and with all of your might with an intense
Passion good God Almighty with a vem love for Jesus you to be impassionate about him people who have a Salvation and nobody that knows that they have it but them don’t have it when you love him you can’t keep it to yourself amen he say that’s the way I
Want you to love me and that doesn’t leave room for another right much less nine more play the tapam all right let me step in just for a moment to set the stage for those of you who are radio and podcast listeners only because you can’t see the
Video of what they’re about to play this is a video of a church and there are sorority sisters and there’s a line of them that are up on the platform the pull pit and then there’s another line of them that are coming into the church by way of looks like the main entrance
And so looks like they’re making their way up to the pool pit and and they’re doing dance moves as they are entering or as they are parading in again sorority sisters of a divine nine uh sorority and so that is what Bishop wooden is addressing I want to show you something
This took place in William Murphy’s church now he put it out There Greek life and the Divine line listen to the music listen listen what’s going On now is that dancing for church them girl shaking their boot is that for Church look at this All right that’s good they SE enough that’s that’s in a church now you tell me is that supposed to go on in a church well you know I don’t really care that’s cuz you don’t love the Lord when you love the Lord you care when you love the Lord you have a
Problem with anything that God has a problem with God doesn’t understand a Believer well he does he knows a Believer who looks at What God Says is wrong and say I don’t have no problem with that mm-m M and part of the problem is and I’m this
Is in the text I’ll show you that’s part of the problem we have lost our sense of righteous indignation in our attempt to gain the world’s approval to love the world to be like the world and all that kind of stuff the world right we’ve lost our
Stand well I couldn’t agree with the Bishop Moore there are things that are taken place today in the name of Christianity people who are claiming to be the church and we see just a desecration of God’s house that is taking place and that is why we are addressing this topic because again
There are many people who are professing to be Believers in Jesus Christ and yet they are attaching themselves to organizations that are based on false gods and that is what Bishop wooding is addressing and again I agree with him wholeheartedly and we’ve talked about it
At length in in weeks past and so we’re going to pause now for a brief announcement but don’t go away we’ll be back with more from Bishop Patrick wooden senior the pastor of the upper room Church of God in Christ he is addressing the divine nine sororities and fraternities and what is taking

God and don’t care who knows not the Divine one nine the Bible teaches that folk who who are going to go to heaven among other things are those who have not lifted up their souls to vanity nor sworn deceitfully amen and um uh to lift up your soul literally means to take a
VI amen so um I want to know is this stuff right and should this be in the house of the Lord are you with me amen there seems to be no shame that seems to be a falling away I have all of them here from alpha P Alpha to Zeta P
Beta and all of these fraternities answer Roes every one of them when the people say I went on pledge I pledged they pledged to a god they pledge to an entity right you know I’m right they don’t pledge to the air the God has a
Name but the name of these Gods none of them are found in scripture but none of them are found in scripture as a positive now the god of the Bible say says thou shall have no other God King James says before thou shall have no other God besides
Me now it doesn’t matter how many gods you have you had pledged to before you met the true and living God but once you meet the true and living God you’re supposed to let them other gods go amen I don’t care if you don’t clap I’m right and when you stand before
Him see you don’t want your husband to keep the girl that he was dating before make it PL to B break it on you don’t want your wife well honey you know I went with him for four for 40 years before I met you you don’t want to see him no more
What you want is a single-hearted commitment because let me tell you who is not going to participate and it’s not personal it’s not personal I’m not speaking on be on behalf of myself you know cuz when they tried to get me to pledge I I didn’t when I was in college
They tried to get me to plge I didn’t they asked me why I told him I’m already a part of something this is what I said did Jesus Christ and the Church of God in Christ that was enough for me and uh and I was a preacher and I wasn’t I
Wasn’t about to be running around on C all day in a hot uh Army jacket can’t I got to run everywhere I go carrying a ball I just wasn’t going to do it Jesus told to know Jesus all I had to do was to confess him as my
Savior to know Jesus to know Jesus to know the true and living God Paul said I ain’t got to go B uh dig him up I ain’t got to pull him down all I got to do is to confess with my heart with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
In my heart that God had raised them from the dead Paul said Thou shalt be saved see you can tell when a thing is manmade because it requires aestheticism it requires see God never requires to follow him self [Applause] humiliation he requires humility Satan requires humiliation but when you’ve met the true and living [Applause] God you come out and and I don’t understand why something like that would be a struggle man I loved a good cheap boner until I got hold to a good piece
Of meat steak something nice I said Lord please keep me from having to go I thought that was good you when you realize all that’s thrown into that stuff you won’t eat it but I didn’t know any better I hadn’t been exposed to better once you been once you’ve been exposed to
Jesus I I don’t even get what the fight is I I I’ve been touched I I saw the light I Saw The Light No More in darkness no more in uh uh in night I am so happy no trouble in sight praise the Lord I saw saw the light now maybe you
Hadn’t seen the light that didn’t brought on nine of them between the nine cuz some of these places have three Gods 16 total Gods so much for thou shallal serve no other God before me I read this off of a uh uh out from among them it said the core of
These organizations cannot be truly Christian since for one anyone can join an atheist an agnostic a Wiccan Etc can pledge if you go through the pledge you can join additionally while some rituals will attempt to mix scripture it’s just that a mixing of the Holy and the
Profane one part will be a Bible verse and then on the other page a connection to a pagan deity this is clearly antithetical to the scripture if it were Christian as one often claims there would be no speaking of words of the words quote in the name
Of they named that God in the spirit of they name that and I pledge my loyalty to or taking an oath or a vow of secrecy about the organization why would a ritual book or a ritualistic ceremony even be needed if it was Christian there would be no need to
Kneel bow down Etc there would be no need for a false god to be at the basis or attached at all these things must really be thought about as they are Antichrist practices many attempt to justify and claim okay doing as a Christian all I’m saying we’re now seeing it placed
Online and all these kind of dances going on in churches never here they have we’re not having that we’re not having having that well that was the voice of Bishop Patrick wooden again the pastor of the upper room Church of God in Christ addressing the divine nine and the
Idolatry that is rooted in it and we see the church attaching itself to these Idol Gods I Echo the words of the bishop and I have in my house we have a plaque record in our living room it speaks to the words of Joshua in which he said
Choose you this day who you will serve but as for me in my house we’re going to serve the Lord me and my house we are serving the one and only true God the god of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of Jacob the god of the Bible and that
Is the one we lift up that is the one we praise that is the one we bow to that is the one we who which we submit ourselves to for eternity not these Idol gods that associated with fraternities and sororities folks we don’t need that we
Are believers in Jesus Christ and as he said the Bible clearly says Thou shalt have no other gods before me and as I stated earlier I’ve had numerous guests on our podcast to discuss this and one of the young ladies made a statement to me in which while she was still part of
A soroy one of these divine nine and she said that she was suffering from anxiety she was suffering from depression she had this urge where every weekend she had to have a a drink of alcohol she was making a point that her body was demanding something of her and so she’s
She was becoming a slave to it and we’re not to become a slave to anything but she explained that those were the things she was struggling with she had fears irrational fears and she said that once she renounced once she came out of that soroy once she committed herself to
Following only the one and only true God she said all those things went away and it’s because those demonic spirits those dark Spirits were tormenting her and there are people out there that try to deny this they try to claim you can be Christian and still be in these
Organizations but folks it is very clear based on the Bible that these are things that we should not be a part of that was actually one of the sororities actually has Princess Di Diana the same Princess Diana that is in the Bible that was an idol Goddess that the people were
Worshiping and the Apostle Paul called them to come out of that and and it caused a riot that is the same Idol Goddess that is attached to this fraternity or this sorority I should say and we are to come out from among them come out of the darkness and again I I
Really applaud Bishop wooden because he’s one of those pastors who is not afraid to tackle the hot button topics the things that the world deem as controversial and there are a lot of pastors out there that say well we just want to preach the gospel and you won’t
Stand on anything because you’re you’re men Pleasers you want to please man and you don’t want anyone to get upset with you but we have to stand on the truth of God’s word and be faithful and obedient to him so that we can hear those words when we step into eternity well done
Good and faithful servant so that’s going to do it for this week we are out of time but I want to encourage you if you are a part of a fraternity or soroy to renounce it come out and recommit yourself to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ please come back and join us
Again next week as we continue to discern the Times by viewing life through the lens of the Bible until then remember to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem bless God’s great nation of Israel and to the only wise God be glory through Jesus Christ forever Amen thank you for tuning in to Discerning the times please come back and join us next week as we continue to encourage you to view current events through the lens of the Bible until next time remember to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem bless God’s great nation of
