Uh this interesting book The Book of Revelation uh The Book of Revelation so I’m going to uh put the scripture up on the screen at this time uh we’re in Revelation chapter n uh revelation chapter n and let me uh blow this up just a little bit there we go uh so Revelation
Looking in the ninth chapter and that’s where we’re going to pick up at the 13th verse Revelation chapter 9 picking up at verse number 13 uh so I’m going to go ahead and read these verses and then we’re going to break these down but Revelation chapter n looking at verse
Number 13 and again this is the New Living Translation uh John wrote it says then the sixth Angel blew his trumpet and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God and the voice said to the sixth Angel who held the
Trumpet release the Four Angels who are bound at the great uh great Euphrates River then and uh the Four Angels who have been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill onethird of all the people on the Earth I heard the size of their army
Which was 200 million mounted troops a army consisting of 200 million soldiers and in my vision I saw the horses and the Riders sitting on them the Riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow the horses had heads like lions and fire and smoke and
Burning sulfur billowed from their mouths uh onethird of all the people on Earth were killed by these three plagues uh by the fire and the smoke and B burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses uh their power was in their mouths and in their tails
For their tails had heads like snakes with power to injure people uh but but the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God they continued to worship demons and Idols made of gold silver bronze Stone and
Wood Idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk uh and they did not repent of their murders or of their witch craft or their sexual immorality or their thefts amen so we’ll go ahead and again pick up right here as we break down this um this particular trumpet uh this particular
Trumpet looking at uh what John the Revelator saw uh and and and what what God was was revealing to him uh here in this in this particular particular the sixth trumpet so the last the last week two weeks ago we were talking about uh this this chapter Revelation n we dealt
With the first through the 12th verses and that was dealing with this star that fell from heaven and we know that according to when when you read scripture sometimes uh the the word star refers specifically to an angel but then in other verses that we’ve read here in
Revelation um you know star well star could refer to a meteor uh but for for the sake of this particular passage here the star here uh it uh well in in Revelation nine the star that John saw fall from Heaven to Earth uh and into hell into the
Bottomless pit that referred to an Angel um in the Book of Revelation and not just Revelation but throughout the Old Testament especially uh you will find uh for example when we go to Revelation chapter 12 the Dragon’s Tail swept onethird of the stars and that word Stars refers to
Angels so just kind of keep that in mind that when you read through the Book of Revelation that often times the word star actually refers to Angels or an angel uh so we covered this when we looked at the first through the 12th verses the star that fall from Heaven
Referring to a particular Angel uh going all the way to the bottomless pit and releasing those F vile demons from the bottomless pit onto the Earth and we we kind of hit some heavy things we hit some very heavy uh Revelation as we talked about who that angel was his identity the god
Apollo uh he was well Apollo was the king over these Demons of the bottomless pit and we really took it a lot further uh because we actually made the connection between Apollo and many of the Greek uh fraternities and sororities and Freemasons and all of these organizations to today who actually
Rever the god Apollo as their I guess their mascot or what have you for their organizations and so it’s a dangerous thing as we established um the other week it’s a very dangerous thing be careful where you pledge who you pledge to in fact the only pledge and oath
Biblically that you’re supposed to be making is an oath or pledge to God himself uh you’re not supposed to make any vows and pledges to uh to dedicate your life to any other God besides god Jehovah uh because if you do that if you pledge to any other God whether it be an
Organization that reveres Idols or anything of that nature then what you’re essentially doing is you’re opening up a doorway in your life for demonic intrusion because through that oath you’re giving demons permission uh to come into your life and begin to wreak havoc so I know that was a very
Tough message amen it’s a very tough one and I’ll be honest and I’ll kind of throw this out here ever since I started teaching on that I I’ve been going through some uh Warfare going through some real Warfare uh the enemy just hates that I started touching on that that I started talking
About that I mean as long as you talk about hey ain’t God good ain’t God all right won’t he do it and you know you just kind of throw that kind of stuff out the devil really doesn’t bother you he doesn’t get upset he doesn’t bother you because that stuff doesn’t
Necessarily bring freedom but when you start to address the things that the enemy is using very strongly to affect people’s lives and wreak havoc in people’s lives you start talking about fraternities sororities uh talk about Freemasons all of the stuff that people are caught up
Into uh a lot of people are a part of and you start bringing light to those things yes the enemy will start attacking and I experienced that uh just the other week amen a very strong attack of the enemy but God just had to comfort
My soul and let me know that hey this is just the devil who’s angry he’s mad and he’s mad because you dealt hell of black eye uh by calling to light something that a lot of people are caught up into and did not know that they were uh
Bowing before the altars of demons so you called them to repentance and the enemy said I’m GNA get you I’m G to try to uh bring an attack against you amen so I’m I’m I’m I’m I’m fully aware of that and and that’s why when you start
Talking about these kind of things uh especially going like I say in depth and in detail you got to be prayed up and you got to have some prayer warriors praying for you as well because the enemy don’t like this kind of information getting out amen he doesn’t
Like this kind of information getting out and one of the things that we addressed and made it uh uh explicitly clear is that you cannot be a part of these organizations and continue to grow in God at some point the Holy Spirit will bring you to that place where he’ll
Say it’s either me or them uh but I can’t I’m I’m not going to allow you to to uh to continue to be a part of this that and the other uh and and do these things um and and continue to grow in my presence amen so um there’s a scripture
And I I often times like to reference this scripture I think is I’m trying to recall I think it was in Ezekiel uh chapter chapter eight uh and I’m trying to make sure I pull it up here Ezekiel I think it’s the eth chapter if I recall um yeah there yeah Ezekiel
Chapter 8 and if you have time definitely go back and read that chapter Ezekiel chapter 8 uh because in Ezekiel chapter 8 it just shows God’s um his attitude towards any uh organization any Institute anything that that involves other Idols in Ezekiel chapter 8 and in that chapter that’s
Where God took the prophet Ezekiel the Bible say grabbed them by in a vision grabbed them by the locks of his hair Ezekiel must have had dread locks or something grabbed them by the locks of his hair and dragged them to the temple and then told them I want you to peep
Through this little hole in the wall right here and I want you to pay attention to what my people are doing in secret and that’s the thing about secret societies and secret rituals that’s why they are called Cults or the occults the word ult actually is Latin for clandestine in
Other words secretive hidden so that which is hidden and one of the things that God promised in Ephesians the 4th chapter is that everything thing that is done in the dark he says I will bring it into the light for it is a shame to even describe or talk about those things that
Men do in darkness or in secrecy and in privacy so that’s one of the things that God promised that he’s going to do is bring a lot of things to the light so even if that just be secret Lifestyles God always brings light to things that
We try to cover up and hide and keep uh hidden and darkness and in Ezekiel the 8th chapter that was one of the things that God uh brought to the prophets attention that I want you to look through this hole in the wall and I want
You to see the things that people do in secret uh in secret uh and in secret he talks and you look you can read it uh where he tells him uh the prophet uh Ezekiel that hey there are people that are in here doing the testable things uh
They have Idols inside of my temple uh they have an idol sitting in the courtyard that is provoking me to jealousy and that was an idol of the of the of of the god baale uh he went further in and you can read it from the 10th verses all the way
Down uh he saw the walls and gray with all kind of animals and detestable creatures uh various Idols being worshiped by the Israelites uh they burning incense to these Idols uh and and all the way down to where it tells us in verse number 14 the women were sitting around weeping for
The god tamas and I broke that down who tamos was in Egypt in egyptology tamas was the god Horus and here all these people these women weeping and crying for Horus uh or tamas you know and and we we uh just just really just God just
Kind of laid it out and one of the things that he said uh that really really stood out to me uh was was that he told it told the prophet uh Ezekiel that because of these Idols they are driving me away from my own Temple so at
Some point in time God will bring you to that decisionmaking place and let you know that hey at this point is either me or them but both of us are not going to Res died in this same SP in this same space I’m not going to share my my my
Glory with Idol Gods so you have to make that decision so that was one of the things that we brought out very strongly very strongly from the 1 through the 12th verses now we pick up tonight with the 13th verse and read that down to the 21st verse and
Here uh God continues uh to address uh what the Israelites well I’m sorry not not the Israelites I’m sorry but what he he Glory I’m still thinking about Ezekiel 8 not the Israelites but address what mankind uh is doing what mankind is doing uh the the things that man is
Doing and he’s basically he continues on with this program of addressing the sins of man are all in an effort to get man to repent now find this very fascinating right here that the Great Tribulation period is the period in which God is chastising whipping he is pouring his
Wrath upon Mankind and yet the crazy thing is even in the midst of God pouring his wrath he’s still trying to get man to repent it’s kind of funny because often times we think about oh the Wrath and the Judgment of God or the Lord is just you know sinners in the
Hands of an Angry God he just want to roast us like shishkabobs you know in the fires of hell and he’s an angry no even in judgment God is still trying to get man to repent even while he’s judging man he’s trying to give man a
Little bit of mercy and that he wants man to repent of their sins and remember this because again like we stated during the Great Tribulation period people will still get saved people are going to get saved man will still have the opportunity to repent now the Rapture is
Gone that that boat is already sailed so all of the chaos that is going to befall mankind on the earth during this period those who repent after the Rapture and have to go through the tribulation period where they just have to endure all of the the the vows of Wrath that
Are gonna pour during the tribulation period they will and like I stated before they won’t have the access to the grace that we have as Believers today including including the Divine Authority in the name of Jesus to exercise dominion over the Demonic so unfortunately even Believers are going
To be afflicted by by these demons that are going to be released uh the 144,000 only refers to the Jews that is sealed by God uh just Jews alone but everyone else is going to be afflicted by these things and afflicted by the plagues including those that that do get born
Again during the tribulation period unfortunately however if you get born again and you die during the tribulation period you will also be joined with other brothers and sisters in Christ in in heaven amen but you’re going to have to endure all of the chaos uh and and
The turmoil that is going to befall uh the Earth during this this time and this period uh in in the Earth’s history so God even while judging man is trying to get people to repent and I find that to be the most incredible thing because God
Is not the kind of God that we have painted him to be that he is this evil angry mad uh just acrimonious you know bitter God who was just so angry and he just wants to exact revenge on everybody for every little petty lie that you told oh he
Can’t wait to incinerate you and burn you for all eternity and we you know we’ve we’ve been told that we’ve been taught that we’ve been made to think that but we forget one thing the Bible tells us in Hebrews and the uh 11th and 12th chapter chapters the author says
That God chastises those that he loves so while there are people that often times thinks chastisement is a sign that God hates you in reality chastisement is is a sign that God loves you and in the midst of chastisement he’s bringing correction or attempting to bring correction so never look at your
Circumstances as God just hates me God hates me God is angry with me and God is just he’s trying to destroy me no the devil is to destroy you Jesus said of Satan that he comes to kill steal and destroy but I came that you may have
Life and life more abundantly so Satan’s job is to destroy but God even through chastisement even through wrath and judgment he is still trying to uh bring correction amen into the lives of people so I find that very fascinating but let’s look at this here because again uh
One of the things that that John brings up he in the verse he tells us uh going back to this verse right here uh he tells us uh starting at verse number 13 the six Angel blew the trumpet and I heard a voice speaking uh from the four
Horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God now let me stop right there and say one thing about this this this gold Altar and this altar is speaking this altar is speaking now this is a testament to how far man has transre transgressed and gone into a sin
And wickedness until the very thing the altar of God which represents the presence of God which represents God’s mercy remember in scripture the altar essentially it represents the mercy of God it represents the grace of God the sacrifices performed upon the altar symbolize God’s grace so an altar is
Supposed to represent biblically uh a a a a device uhuh that symbolizes grace and mercy for mankind and yet here we have the alar is crying out against man at this point the altar is crying out uh and and in and the altar is essentially saying that hey you know uh
We are gracious we’re merciful but we have to judge unrighteousness and that shows us again another understanded about the nature of God that God is merciful he is gracious but he is also just he is also Stern he is also firm and unfor fortunately and sadly that is one of the revelations or
The truths that is not being te uh taught and preached in churches today uh because we’ve made God to be uh made God out to be uh uh I don’t know this passive individual who does not judge sin but God does Judge sin and he must judge sin
Because his nature is that he’s just and therefore he gave us the blood of Jesus the grace and the grace the power of the holy spirit so that we can have authority over sin he’s given us the blood to be cleansed from all of our past sins he’s given us the spirit of
God to guide us and steer us away from our future sins he’s given us all of the tools the very divine nature of God himself According to second Peter looking in the first and second chapters that he by that we through the divine nature of God have everything we need to
Escape a life of sin and wickedness Peter tells us so God has given us his Spirit his nature his anointing his blood all of this in order to give us victory over sin but Paul tells us in Romans chapter 6 is still an individual choice of ours so Paul says that you are
Not to yield your body as an instrument of sin that means whenever we sin is always by choice and the interesting thing about Sin is this it begins in the heart before it manifests through our physical actions you know I was I was thinking about this uh just a just a couple of
Days ago um you know the just kind of random question popped up in my mind does God judge us because of the thoughts that we think you know I was thinking about that the other day does God judge us based on the thoughts that we think oh I I remember how how I
Started how I got on this I was looking at a YouTube video and there was a person who had had a a near-death experience and they were just talking about how God was talking to them about the dangers of negative thoughts you know your thought is more than just a
Thought now we know that from a neurological standpoint that every thought you think produces a physical protein that begins to transform the your brain literally reshape your brain and so there are certain neurons and neurological Pathways that are formed in the brain as a result of certain
Thoughts that we think so your thoughts literally reshape your brain that I mean that is now science you know uh that that brought that that uh that to life but uh so your thoughts actually are physical substance they produce a physical protein in your brain uh but I
Was I was just kind of I was listening and they were talking about how God said you got to be careful about negative thoughts negative thoughts and from there I got curious and I started thinking to myself h i wonder does God judge People based on the thoughts that
They think I know Jesus said in the Gospel of John that we will have to give an account before God for every word that we speak so I know that our words can get us in trouble especially according to the Beatitudes if you say to your neighbor uh uh Rocka the and
That word Rocka was Aramaic for empty-headed which is the equivalent of our English word stupid it’s like calling some saying to a person you don’t have a brain it’s it’s a insult in other words what Jesus was saying if if you say thou fool you’ll be in danger of
Of judgment but if you say Rocka you’ll be in danger of Hell’s fire what he was what he was explaining was the danger of words amen 1 Corinthians 15 let no corrupt communication words proceed out of your mouth but only that which is good to the edifying of the hearer and
Some people think that corrupt communication only refers to profanity cuss words oh I don’t cuss see I don’t cuss yes but do you ever speak in a condescending tone and seek to insult or or to berate other people because you can berate insult and tear people down tear them down mentally and emotionally
With your words and never use one word of profanity and yet God says rather than your words edifying they’re tearing that person down you can you can literally say certain things to purposely trigger a person uh with with malicious intent in mind that I want to
Trigger you I want to tear you down I want to make you uh you know act out of character because I’m trying to I’m trying to provoke you and yet that is also what Paul referred to as corrupt communication so we got to be careful because the Bible talks even about
Insults it talks about things like gossip throughout the Book of Proverbs that the Bible say a wicked person is one that both entertains and spreads gossip and Solomon referred to that person as a wicked individual uh as as a wicked person who likes to receive uh and listen to and
Spread gossip and believe it or not but gossip is one of the things that people are going to be judged for judged by I’m sorry uh judged by God when when when we have to stand before before him in judgment because gossip is a part of that corrupt communication that tears
Down in fact and I don’t want to go too deep into this but in fact when the Bible tells us God gave us the Ten Commandments you know a lot of people they misinterpret The Ten Commandments they don’t read them correctly so the first commandment have no other God
Besides him the second make no graven image anything in the sky Earth or in the sea uh Third Commandment do not take God’s name in vain and and that goes a lot deeper than just using God’s name as a cuss word it goes into the area of of essentially disregarding God no longer
Keeping him on the Forefront of your mind so that your actions begin to misrepresent God because you’re not even considering uh uh God or considering how your actions uh represent him and then going into keep the Sabbath day uh you know to keep it holy but then he goes
Into the last six Commandments and the first one honor your mother and your father that your days may be long upon the Earth but then it goes into Thou shalt not commit murder now some people misquote that thou shall not kill but that’s not actually what it’s saying
Because every time the the priest killed the ox or the goat or the lamb they were killing in fact God is the one that performed the first sacrifice in the Book of Genesis when he killed the lamb and took the the wool and clothed Adam and Eve God was the first one that
Killed so therefore it doesn’t mean Thou shalt not kill the correct uh interpretation or uh the correct translation is Thou shalt not commit murder and murder was the one sin that merited capital punishment according to the Old Testament and New Testament as well from Romans chapter 13 but also in
Genesis when God spoke to both Noah and Moses and says anyone that commits murder their life is to be taken uh so Thou shalt not murder but here’s the here’s the interesting one because a lot of people say or the Bible say thou sht not kill wrong it says Thou sht not
Murder and thou shalt not uh commit fornication actually it say thou shall not commit adultery the word adultery specifically refers to married people uh sleeping around with with someone other than their spouse now fornication is a sin but fornication is an entirely different class adultery is a specific
Uh type of forn ation if I could put it that way that speaks specifically to marriage now I I I had a message I want to bring and I’mma talk about this uh one day from the Old Testament that if you go back and you actually study the Old Testament God
Said if anyone commits adultery from the book of Deuteronomy they to be killed instantly immediately because adultery not only did it destroy the marriage it destroyed the entire family un UNS in that Community it lowered their stock their reputation brought shame upon an entire household and it also set up for
What we call today Broken homes broken marriages children that have been pretty much left out in the cold and so on and so forth and there’s a lot that I want to say about that as well because you know it’s a lot of stuff that’s going on
In our world and society today to attack the institution of marriage and it is demonic and there a lot of people that are going to have to answer to God for that as well um but it’s interesting he said that if you commit if you commit
Adultery then you would to be killed but he says if it’s a single man and a single woman and they were to engage in sexual intimacy he said the penalty is they were not supposed to be killed a lot of people didn’t know that they were
Not supposed to be killed but their fate was probably some worse than that I’m sorry to say it amen it says uh uh for two singles if they decide they want to hook up and they want to have a one night stand or they want to do whatever
They are not married they are not engaged betroll meaning engaged then the penalty for that was that they were supposed to get married and they could not divorce for any reason so you know okay in the Old Testament better better be careful that one night stand that
Means you now have to marry this person and you cannot divorce for any reason whatsoever you know I found that to be very interesting you don’t know who you hooking up with you might be hooking up with Ike Turner Jr or something glory to God you know
But or some nutcase you know but now you stuck with him and you can’t get a divorce now that was the penalty uh for two single folk amen engaging in sexual uh uh intimacy uh in the Old Testament so um but it it didn’t say that that
Thou shalt not fornicate no it says Thou shalt not commit adultery but then the next commandment it tells us thou thou a lot of people say oh say thou shall not fornicate and thou shalt not tell a lie no it did not say thou shalt not lie it
Specifically said Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor and that is also reiterated in uh uh Proverbs uh I think is in the sixth chapter either sixth or the eth chapter where Solomon talked about the six things that God the the seven things that God
Hates uh and he says those that bear false witness against their neighbor now what does that mean bearing false witness against your neighbor it literally means to accuse someone of something they did not do for the purpose of slandering and defaming them and destroying their name and
Credibility in an ancient Israel you we saw this when Queen Jezebel wanted to grab non’s Vineyard so that she could get it for a husband she hired some people to lie um and claim that that non he was in the backyard worshiping an idol and he wasn’t but they came and
Bore false witness or translated false testimony or false accusations they slandered him so that his name was destroyed and therefore the judges uh ordered him to be executed because worshiping an idol was also an offense that merited capital punishment when Jesus was on trial uh the Jews the high pre the priest there
They hired professional Liars to come in and claim yeah Jesus he said this and he said that knowing that he didn’t say any of those things but they rail false accusations against them and that’s a dangerous thing in our society today because there are people right now that
Are walking around and they are literally making up stuff on other individuals for the purpose purpose of destroying their name and credibility you know uh I know I’m going say this and it’s going to be a little controversial here uh but we saw this just a couple of weeks ago uh where very
Well-known preacher uh everybody was on social media oh so and so I can’t believe he doing this and my whole thing is like my whole thing is be careful about making an accusation and or going along with an accusation and cosigning on it when you
Don’t even know if it was true or not or you don’t know the facts of the case see the the dangerous thing is this that if you cosign and go along with something and it turns out that it was false then you are also a part of that guilty part
Of that made accusation by mere fact that you engaged in spreading that accusation as well and that’s why why the Bible say do not believe an accusation made against an elder so quickly and one of the things that God was trying to warn us is be careful
About judging uh you don’t know the facts of the case there are people that God has appointed to be judges uh Romans chapter 13 my in my ministers execute Justice with the sword this is the difference between Justice and revenge that God has appointed a system to deal with evildoers
Yes you have the right to self-defense but when it comes to to judgments then this is a matter that needs to be held by the appropriate authorities and you need to allow them to do their job so if an accusation is made and I I’ll never forget years ago
There was another very famous Minister uh and this was all over the news if I say his name everybody will know exactly who I’m talking about you know the big sexual Scandal that was going on and church and I remember once uh I remember everybody was you know they were coming
Down on the accusers and they were they they going to burn in hell and I finally took the social media and I said let me just say something about this I said look the reality is this be careful about condemning both the accused and the accusers because none of us know the
Full story of what really happened and and I said uh and I was just being blunt number one uh there have been people that have made false accusations against those that are in leadership we’ve seen that happened time and time and time again and when it got to the to the end
Of the rope and and investigation was done turns out the accusation was false all along but there have also been some that have that have been a leadership that have abused power and I explained that as well so be careful about uh uh send judgment against the accusers
Because we don’t know who’s telling the truth or what happened in the situation and I left it here and I said let the courts do their job let them do their investigation and then once they render the verdict then we’re able to say okay this is is what happened but let them do
Their job to investigate and gather all the evidence but be careful about issuing a judge and you don’t even know the full facts or the details that gets a lot of people in trouble amen and you know some people got upset upset with me for saying even
That for just simply saying quit judging uh because you don’t know what really happened all I do know is this that if you bear false witness meaning make an accusation or cosign on an accusation but you don’t know the details you haven’t done the investigation you haven’t searched out
The facts you don’t even know what happened and this is something that we got to take into account Even in our personal lives because a lot of times we go to churches and we hear a lot of people gossip oh they gossiping on this person they gossiping oh everybody
Walking around gossiping and talking and the reality is this if you don’t know the facts then don’t say anything just be compl completely quiet and if somebody come to you with mess just say well I don’t know the I don’t know all the facts so I can’t say and the truth
Be told is you know uh uh let’s let’s just pray for that person because I don’t I don’t know what’s really going on I don’t know what happened I haven’t done any investigation so we have to be very careful about this because the Bible say Do not bear false
Witness don’t become a false witness who was providing false testimony because you will face God in judgment just for doing such a thing uh this happens a lot in court oh Lord have mercy I’ll bring this one up and I’ll bring it up by name
You know we we saw just a couple of months ago it was the the two celebrities Johnny death and Amber herd and Amber herd made the accusation against her husband or ex-husband at at the time you know Jenny Depp that oh I’m you know he abused me and then when when
When journy took her to court and they had the you know the de def defamation of of name lawsuit or whatever come to find out the roles were actually reversed it wasn’t Johnny who was the abuser it was actually the wife who was the abuser but this man lost several
Years of his life behind one accusation one accusation in Hollywood dropped them he was fired from all of the movie Productions that he had in the works they would not hire him he was completely malign all based on one accusation and come to find out the physical evidence showed that the wife
Was actually the abuser who was attacking him beating him and even triy to stab him with a knife and all kind of other stuff so we got to be careful because an accusation destroys a life and that’s one of the reasons why God says uh that making bear and false
Witness is one of those things that you will be held accountable for in judgment so I tell people all the time your words can land you in a pit of Hell so be careful about that especially things like gossip slander and uh uh uh uh insults where
You are actively seeking to tear a person down mentally and emotionally you have to be extremely cautious because yes God will judge you for your words but my my big concern was will God judge us for our thoughts will he judge us for our thoughts and that’s when when I
Asked that question it’s like the Holy Spirit started bringing up all of these different scriptures uh to my mind all of these different verses uh to my mind uh number one Jesus heard the thoughts of the Pharisees and he responded to them he heard heard men’s thoughts as
The woman was washing his feet with her hair he could hear what men was thinking and he turned around and address their thoughts but then Jesus also said in the gospel of Matthew it’s not what goes into a man’s mouth that defiles him but rather it’s what comes out of his heart
For out of the heart proceedes murder out of the heart proceeds stealing out of the heart proceeds adultery out of the heart proed proceeds uh lying and bearing false witness out of the heart flows all of these things so I find that very fascinating because in the Bible it
Tells us that your thoughts actually reside not in your brain but in your heart but in scripture the heart does not refer to the pump that’s in your chest the heart actually is defined as the innermost being the innermost being of of a man in other words the heart
Actually refers to a person’s soul so it’s out of a man’s soul out of their innermost being and the Bible declares in the Book of Proverbs 27 as a man thinks in his heart in his innermost being not his brain but his heart you know uh so is he amen so it’s
Interesting because you find in Scripture that God pays a lot of attention to the thoughts that are in our hearts your word is nothing but a thought manifested you know but what God looks at are the very thoughts that in your heart so again the big question is
Well can are can does God look at our thoughts and register those that sin well you go back to the Beatitudes if a man looks at a woman and lust after her where in his heart he has already committed adultery if you hate someone where in your heart without cause you
Have already committed murder so it’s fascinating because according to the Beatitudes and those verses right there yes even the thoughts in our hearts even those thoughts that in our hearts can be registered as Sin in the eyes of God because hey even just because you didn’t
Do it doesn’t mean that in the spirit you didn’t actually commit the sin if it’s in your heart and it’s the very thought that you are pondering in your heart then there something that you do need to repent of David didn’t physically kill Uriah he didn’t he just slept with the
Man’s wife and then knowing that UAH was a soldier in the Army already he just simply told us Captain hey go ahead and send yah to the front line you know he want to fight he love to fight he want to smoke so so go ahead and put him on
The front line let him get all the smoke you know let let him bathe in it you know I’m just gonna give him what he want so in David’s mind I didn’t physically kill the man but when the prophet Nathan appeared before David Nathan accused David of the sin of
Murder because in David’s heart he wanted yah dead that’s the reason why the Bible tells us hide God’s word where in your heart so that you don’t sin against him so it’s incumbent upon us to constantly meditate upon the word of God so that that word gets embedded in our hearts
And when that word is in our hearts it transforms our motives our intentions it transforms our thinking so that now we are living or we that that living sacrifice that is pleasing before God so yes uh thoughts are dangerous because thoughts can uh glory to God just
Because a person says well I didn’t commit a sin yeah but in your heart you were sinning every single day you had sinful thoughts you were thinking evil wicked things towards your neighbor you were hating people you were lusting after people uh you know down in here uh
You you had a lot of Wicked thoughts and desires and evil things that and God’s like even the issue of forgiveness in your heart you refused to forgive you refused to let that person go you had Revenge seeking in your heart I never forget I shared this uh a couple of
Years ago well I talk about this guy like almost every other month uh a Nigerian Nigerian Pastor some of y’all shaking your head like oh my God here we go again he talk about this guy almost at least once a month but the Nigerian Pastor Daniel
Uku uh who who literally rose from the dead after four days and during that 4 day time period he had already been in bombed and yet he still came back from the dead and it was documented under Reinhardt Bunky’s Ministry they actually got the video footage showing the man uh
After he got up from the dead in the basement of the church still had rigor mortars in his body uh but in his testimony he talked about how he and his wife got into a argument and his wife slapped him and he left out of the house fuming mad
Angry I can’t believe she did that and and he said in his testimony that he was driving and while he was driving he was just thinking it in his heart I’m going to get her back I’m going to get her back you know for
What she did to me I’m going to get her back and it just so happened that while he was pondering revenge against his wife in his heart in his heart he ain’t doing anything he was just driving and he was a pastor by the way I’m sorry I
Keep leaving that that detail out he was a pastor of a church but while in he was driving and while in his heart he was plotting Revenge he said his brakes went out on his car he ended up slaming into another car and he they rushed him into an
Ambulance and that’s while he was in the ambulance it was like he was slipping out of Consciousness and he saw two humongous Angels almost big as the ambulance itself it sitting in the ambulance with him and one put his hand over finger over his mouth and said sh
And the am the Angels took him to heaven but then after they showed him Heaven one of the Angels took him to hell and told him if the book of your life were to be open right now when God would have judge you hell would be your final
Resting place and Daniel said are are you with Angel this can’t be right I’m a pastor I preach the gospel I’m a man of God I’m a Christian I’m a Believer and the angel explained to him that after you got into an argument with your wife you left the house plotting revenge
Against her in your heart you didn’t do anything but in your heart you were unforgiving and you wanted revenge against her and God is fair he said the angel told him God is fair he said if you do not forgive others of their trespasses against you God cannot forgive you for your
Sins boy I tell you right there I mean that that Revelation right there probably got some of us saying all right I can’t wait till this live is over I got somebody I need to call right now glory to God Amen all of us can probably
Think of somebody right now we need to we okay Lord I get it out of my heart God get it out of my heart amen hide your word in my heart and the revelation of that is think about how much God has forgiven you of and think about what the
Word forgiveness really means it doesn’t mean that you’re just overlooking the wrong someone did no it means that uh you are turning that person over into the hands of God so that God can begin to deal with them and bring healing and correction into that person’s life and
At the same time you’re remembering that God had to forgive you of a lot of stuff a lot of crazy things you did ignorantly and knowingly so yeah we canot kind of keep that in mind and that’s why Jesus gave so many parables about forgiveness uh in scripture he’s trying to get stuff
Out of our hearts thoughts and desires out out of our hearts so take the word and bury it in your heart so that you don’t live in sin because sin is the reason why in our passage and I know I went all the way around the world just talking about this
But sin is the reason why this altar uh which is a symbol of Grace gra and mercy is crying out to God against man crying out for justice that sin must be judged it’s not that God is like oh I’m angry but it’s more so that God is just and
Therefore sin must be judged if God does not judge sin therefore he must apologize to the devil he must apologize to people like Hitler and all of those individuals who we know are burning in hell ain’t no question about that uh he must apologize to every person that he
Is ever allowed to go into that place called hell because it’s not it is is it’s man’s sin that puts him in that place it’s the sin of man that puts people in that place not the preference of God not the sovereignty of God but
The sin of man the Bible say the wages of sin is death and by death is not talking about physical death it’s talking about the spiritual death which means complete and total separation from God so the wages of sin is separation from God that means the more we just
Continue to deliberately give in and and and and glory to God I don’t want to I didn’t want to you know take too much time and and just go into to all of this but you know the Holy Spirit he always come to us even before we we get to that
Point he’ll let us know all right look this you know this is this is not the right road to go now and I believe this firmly that God is not the god that takes a person and throw them away because they committed once in but he is
The god that will keep giving us Grace and warning and Grace and warnings and Grace and warnings when we’re on a dangerous path because he’s trying to deter us and even after you mess up yes if you come to him like David declared in the 51st Psalm when he said that God
Will never reject a broken and contract Spirit God will forgive you don’t let anybody lie and put that in your ear that oh well God won’t forgive you and Mis misquote and misinterpret the word word and Hebrews chapter 10 where it says if we sin willfully after we know
The knowledge of the truth there’s no more sacrifice for our sins well that verse does not mean there’s no more forgiveness for our sin and we got to understand the difference there no more sacrifice means that Jesus is not going to shed his blood anymore he already went to the
Cross so if a person decides that they want to willfully live in in a lifestyle of sin then it’s impossible for them to find Grace because they are refusing to repent but if a person repents according to the 51st Psalm there’s Grace why because you’re turning your back on that
Sin and you’re going back to the father and I wanted to wanted to really kind of uh uh explain that point amen because there are some people that will misinterpret those two verses 51st Psalm and and Hebrews chapter 10 oh you sin and you know that you was wrong that means ain’t
No more sacrifice you’re gonna burn no no no that means there cannot be any other Grace uh for a person who was just deliberately choosing to to live uh in in that sin but when they repent and turn back to God they enter back into
The into the the realm of Grace they get back into that place where they are under the grace and covering of God Amen so uh so yes you you can repent you can you can always repent but the devil would love to kill you before you get an
Opportunity to do so amen glory to God or he would like to according to Ephesians chapter 4 Harden your what what do we talk about a moment ago your heart so that you do not engage in sincere repentance towards God but rather you try to play with the grace of
God according to Hebrews 10 trample the grace of God underfoot and what that means is that in my heart I’m really not sincere about repenting I’m just going through lip rituals and formality of saying God forgive me but in my heart I really don’t want to change and I really
Haven’t turned my heart away from that sin you see I got to turn my heart back to God and sayl I want you I want you yes I may be wrestling with it yes I may have temptations yes I may be struggling but God I want you God will honor that
Prayer even if you’re wrestling with something God will honor that prayer that God I want you I turn my heart towards you and that’s what the Apostle Paul wrote In the book of uh Romans uh the uh 7eventh chapter amen Romans chapter 7 when it said I want to do
Right but I still end up doing wrong and I try to do the right thing but yet I still end up doing the wrong thing but then he turned around and said but I Delight in the law of God in the inward man where the heart and he was expounded upon the fact
That when your heart turns to God it may be a process of you coming out of certain things of you overcoming certain things of you getting rid of certain addictions or you uh or maybe you know may may even be a bit of a process but
Hey as long as your heart is turned towards God the Holy Ghost is right there to help you through the entire thing and you don’t have to worry because you’re not in the danger field you’re in the danger field when your heart is turned towards sin even if
You’re not committing the sin your heart longs to commit the sin is here towards it’s turned in that direction that’s when you’re in the danger field now I wanted to kind of break that down and explain that a little bit more I know some people probably have some questions
About it and you know what if I got to take a whole uh Tuesday and and literally just uh answer questions and explain that uh and expound on that a little bit more uh then then I will gladly do so uh but I but I want to want to kind of clarify
And and break that down so again when we look at this verse the The Altar and and I know tonight I guess we just kind of focus on this altar here uh the altar uh the altar is crying out uh the altar is crying out right here uh it
Tells us the sixth Angel BW his trumpet and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God so this altar is crying out to God uh in essence saying that hey we have to judge
The sins of man and again it it kind of alludes to what we talked about a couple of weeks ago uh when we explain the way that the whole sin situation operates that God will allow a man to continue and go on and on and on until finally
His heart gets to that place where it’s so hardened that he has no other choice but to uh provide judgment in that situation and really the judgment is for the purpose of breaking the hardness of that person’s heart because like I said earlier God’s ultimate goal in every
Situation is to break that hardness off of us so that we get get into a place where we genuinely repent and turn back to him that’s always his number number one goal amen so this is what I’m going to do amen and we we we’re already at
The end of time so uh I’ll stop right here I’ll stop right here and I’ll pick up and and and really hit the other verses uh strong when we come back uh God willing on next week uh that’s that’s when we’ll start to talk now about those four angels that abound in
The in the river Euphrates amen and bring out the the biblical uh significance of of that those angels uh who are they what are they I mean what does that refer to what’s going on you know angels that are in in a river somewhere you know know all of a sudden
Being released we’ll talk about that and really go into good detail on that uh on next week uh when we come back amen so we’ll stop right here uh stop right here and and like I say just pick up with the rest of it on next week amen so uh let’s
Let’s glory to God just just have a word of prayer father we thank you tonight thank you Lord just for the teaching understanding of your word tonight uh glory to God lord as you taught us in the word we are supposed to check and and just just keep a watchful eye on our
