  1. 0:00This [snorts] morning
  2. 0:03I am going to share
  3. 0:07the word of God with us in a
  4. 0:12in a deeper way. So I I just want us to
  5. 0:17desire God's word. allow our hearts and
  6. 0:19minds to be stretched
  7. 0:21because
  8. 0:23it is not good enough for us to just
  9. 0:25know
  10. 0:27John 3:16.
  11. 0:30I want to be simple. All that I want to
  12. 0:32know is John 3:16. And when anybody
  13. 0:35twists the truth beyond that point, we
  14. 0:37get deceived because we didn't take time
  15. 0:41to know the truth. The Bible says you
  16. 0:43shall know the truth and the truth will
  17. 0:45what? So if I don't take time to know
  18. 0:48the truth then that area of my life
  19. 0:51remains in dark darkness. God wants us
  20. 0:55to allow the truth to penetrate. But the
  21. 0:58thing is the version of truth that we
  22. 1:00have today is completely different from
  23. 1:02the truth of God's word.
  24. 1:05Many times I know it. I know the truth.
  25. 1:08What you know is your truth. In other
  26. 1:11words, your understanding of something,
  27. 1:13not necessarily the truth of scripture.
  28. 1:17Are you with me?
  29. 1:18>> See, the devil is not afraid how smart
  30. 1:20you are.
  31. 1:23The devil is not afraid of how many
  32. 1:25books you have read.
  33. 1:27He's not afraid of how many degrees
  34. 1:29you've got. And some of us, we place our
  35. 1:33intelligence in your ability to talk
  36. 1:36yourself out through anything.
  37. 1:39He's not afraid of that. But he's afraid
  38. 1:41when he know the truth
  39. 1:44because this is the only truth he cannot
  40. 1:46stand. This is the only truth he doesn't
  41. 1:49have a word to answer you back. That's
  42. 1:52the truth that will set you free.
  43. 1:55>> Because some of us, we place our trust
  44. 1:58in our words. You know what? Listen,
  45. 2:00I've been through this before. I can
  46. 2:02speak my way out of everything and
  47. 2:05anything. But there is something about
  48. 2:07the devil you won't know. He's the
  49. 2:09master of deceit
  50. 2:12and he only bows to the truth which is
  51. 2:15washed by the blood of Christ.
  52. 2:18>> Amen.
  53. 2:21>> I want to give you some scenarios before
  54. 2:23I jump into the word.
  55. 2:28The disciples of Jesus at that time ran
  56. 2:31away from him.
  57. 2:34When people start leaving, Jesus asked,
  58. 2:37"Everybody has left me. Do you want to
  59. 2:40leave me as well?" And it was Peter the
  60. 2:42first one to say, "How where will we go?
  61. 2:47You have the words of life."
  62. 2:51But he too left.
  63. 2:54The disciples ran. The Bible says they
  64. 2:57ran.
  65. 2:58And I want you to know, did they ever
  66. 3:01make a stand? They did. But Jesus
  67. 3:04actually discharged the disciples
  68. 3:08by telling the soldiers,
  69. 3:11"You came for me, not for them."
  70. 3:17Just few days in prayer while I was
  71. 3:20angel and I was praying in the night
  72. 3:23hours
  73. 3:24and the Lord showed me
  74. 3:27Jesus was not a victim of Gethsemane. He
  75. 3:30took control of the darkness.
  76. 3:33He told the disciples what to do. He
  77. 3:35told the soldiers what to do. And Peter
  78. 3:37hurriedly cut off the year and he healed
  79. 3:39and said, "Listen,
  80. 3:41let there be no charges against this
  81. 3:43fellow. I've already give you back the
  82. 3:46year. It's good as new, man. You know, I
  83. 3:48wish I could have some of those kind of
  84. 3:50anointings, man. You know, listen, I
  85. 3:52already put it back. Don't don't bring
  86. 3:55any charges because you actually came
  87. 3:56for me." So he took control of the
  88. 3:59darkness. Amen.
  89. 4:00>> Amen.
  90. 4:01>> And I think when the truth of God is in
  91. 4:04our hearts, we can take control of
  92. 4:06darkness.
  93. 4:09>> Lord, but you didn't teach me 30 years
  94. 4:10ago. No. God doesn't teach this level of
  95. 4:12truth to children.
  96. 4:15As you grow up, you can handle. And now
  97. 4:19you will teach us. Amen. Yes.
  98. 4:21>> And if you want to grow up,
  99. 4:24who will cry at home, I got nothing to
  100. 4:27do? Children, because they don't know
  101. 4:28how to spend the time.
  102. 4:32As you mature in God, you'll have
  103. 4:34something to do because there is
  104. 4:35purpose. Say the word purpose.
  105. 4:38>> Purpose is being restored and you will
  106. 4:40know what to do. So the question this uh
  107. 4:43morning that I have especially as we are
  108. 4:46coming into the end time is if you will
  109. 4:48know the truth would you hold on to the
  110. 4:50truth because the Bible is full of the
  111. 4:53scriptures like hold on to the truth
  112. 4:57Jesus kept on saying hold on to the
  113. 5:00truth don't let it go I know what it is
  114. 5:02for my disciples to let go and I've been
  115. 5:05through that pain I thought they will
  116. 5:06stand with me now Jesus was not
  117. 5:09referring that they will fight for him,
  118. 5:12hold him back from the cross. That's not
  119. 5:13what he was referring. He only referred
  120. 5:16that they will at least pray with me.
  121. 5:19Huh? Are you following?
  122. 5:21>> The cross is not given to the disciples,
  123. 5:24but prayer was.
  124. 5:28Sometimes we cannot endure the suffering
  125. 5:30of another person, but we can pray with
  126. 5:34them or for them. the minimum that we
  127. 5:37can do. Don't say I don't have this, I
  128. 5:40don't have that, I wish. No, no, no.
  129. 5:42What you can do, which is prayer. Pray.
  130. 5:45If you say you're going to pray for
  131. 5:46someone and make sure you pray for
  132. 5:48someone. Amen.
  133. 5:50>> Hold on to the truth. The end times is
  134. 5:53full of holding on to the truth. That is
  135. 5:56why John in the first John, second John
  136. 5:59and third John, he kept on speaking
  137. 6:03about the truth and he kept on saying
  138. 6:06you got to hold on to the truth that you
  139. 6:09know because the enemy is going to come
  140. 6:11again and do the same trick that he did
  141. 6:15on the garden by deceiving the truth.
  142. 6:23I want to encourage us again
  143. 6:26on uh Friday when we were praying.
  144. 6:31The Lord spoke to me about a person's
  145. 6:33name in the Bible
  146. 6:36very clearly three times
  147. 6:39that I've never I know I read but I've
  148. 6:42never preached on him about him for the
  149. 6:46last 40 years.
  150. 6:48And that shocked me. How come I've never
  151. 6:51thought about it at all?
  152. 6:54I know his name. I've read the passage,
  153. 6:56but I've not preached on him
  154. 6:59until the Lord three times spoke his
  155. 7:03name to me.
  156. 7:05And so I had to wrestle with the word.
  157. 7:09What can I understand through this
  158. 7:10passage? Turn with me to First Kings
  159. 7:13chapter 22.
  160. 7:18the book of first kings chapter 22
  161. 7:22we're going to
  162. 7:24consider
  163. 7:27the passage where it's speaking about
  164. 7:29the prophet Micaiah Micaiah how you
  165. 7:33would like to say it
  166. 7:39come on I'm sure there's a lot of
  167. 7:41linguists
  168. 7:44huh
  169. 7:46Not pitch.
  170. 7:50>> Micaiah. Okay. All right. We decide on
  171. 7:53his name.
  172. 7:57The prophet Micaiah.
  173. 8:00Man, [clears throat]
  174. 8:02it's a kind of a hidden name. It's a
  175. 8:04passage that that's all his name appears
  176. 8:06and his story finishes there.
  177. 8:09Why God choose at this moment surprised
  178. 8:13me and why he spoke his name three times
  179. 8:18which as I'm saying as sincere before
  180. 8:20God
  181. 8:22that for 40 years I've not heard
  182. 8:24anything from that name. I've not really
  183. 8:27heard any messages
  184. 8:30in the prophetic circle or so and so
  185. 8:32forth. So it caught my attention
  186. 8:40and of course uh
  187. 8:42everybody will be wondering usually what
  188. 8:44is the title of my message? So I'm going
  189. 8:46to give a better title. Make a stand for
  190. 8:49the truth.
  191. 8:51Do you know we have a lot of jelly beans
  192. 8:53uh disciples today. They know the truth
  193. 8:55but they won't make a stand.
  194. 8:58Hello. But if it's their issue, yeah,
  195. 9:01I'm going to fight till the end. If it's
  196. 9:03God, yeah, okay, we'll see how we'll
  197. 9:06see, you know. But God wants you to make
  198. 9:09a stand for the truth. Because when you
  199. 9:11stand for him, he stands for you.
  200. 9:14>> Jesus said, "When you confess my name in
  201. 9:18front of people, I will confess your
  202. 9:21name in front of my father."
  203. 9:23>> Did he say that?
  204. 9:24>> That means I'm you are standing for the
  205. 9:26truth. Now, it can be anything. It can
  206. 9:28be like the hospital matter. You know,
  207. 9:31you are standing for the truth. God, you
  208. 9:32heal me once, you'll do it again. It
  209. 9:34could be issues at home. It could be
  210. 9:36providences. It could be bills that
  211. 9:40needs to be paid.
  212. 9:42You are standing for the truth.
  213. 9:45It could be a time when the word of God
  214. 9:47is being compromised. It could be a time
  215. 9:49where you are standing as a witness to a
  216. 9:52truth. Would you stand for the truth?
  217. 9:58When we are coming at the end times like
  218. 9:59this, it will be a time do you know
  219. 10:02Jesus or you don't? You know how scary
  220. 10:05that question is
  221. 10:08because that's where it is coming to.
  222. 10:11Do you know the truth or you don't? Now
  223. 10:14who is this Micaiah?
  224. 10:16He's one of the four disciples
  225. 10:19of Elijah.
  226. 10:21Very quiet guy. Not much has been said
  227. 10:24about him because he's just he does in
  228. 10:26his background work. He's one of the
  229. 10:29prophets.
  230. 10:30Hey, listen. Are you listening?
  231. 10:32>> If you're a prophet or prophetic person,
  232. 10:35you don't have to be known
  233. 10:39>> to be known is not the goal. To preach
  234. 10:42Christ is the goal.
  235. 10:45>> Because somewhere along the line, church
  236. 10:48or Christianity and posters have
  237. 10:50corrupted us. We think we have to be
  238. 10:52known. You know who I am? Who? Check
  239. 10:54your ID, bro. It tells you who you are,
  240. 10:56where you come from. Are you lost? Is
  241. 10:59there something wrong with you or what?
  242. 11:01Can I bring you somewhere? What do you
  243. 11:02mean who are you? A lot of people who
  244. 11:05come to conferences, the first thing
  245. 11:07they do, they go to the book table,
  246. 11:09they'll ask for discount. And you say,
  247. 11:10"No, but do you know who I am?" Okay,
  248. 11:14let me give me your ID. I'll tell you
  249. 11:17who you are in 3 seconds.
  250. 11:21I'll spell back your name
  251. 11:24because they want
  252. 11:26how do I know you are you who
  253. 11:31everybody have this thing you know God
  254. 11:33uses me okay he uses everybody
  255. 11:40some people say even my dog is anointed
  256. 11:42okay are are you following what I'm
  257. 11:45trying to get at
  258. 11:46>> this is one of the prophets who was
  259. 11:48doing in the background work. Nobody
  260. 11:50knew him. We only know the big names.
  261. 11:54And some of our anointings you carry is
  262. 11:57not meant to be on the stage. It is
  263. 11:59meant for everyday life.
  264. 12:01>> Amen.
  265. 12:02>> Why is it corrupted? Because you want to
  266. 12:04be known. It started well. Over time,
  267. 12:08you want to be known, but that's not the
  268. 12:10goal.
  269. 12:13The goal is to preach Christ.
  270. 12:16But this guy was put in the spot.
  271. 12:20And so I want to bring you this
  272. 12:22understanding of what happened. Of
  273. 12:24course we talk about Jehoshaphat.
  274. 12:26I'm not talking about Jehoshaphat. But
  275. 12:28there are four compromises Jehoshaphat
  276. 12:31did. And because of that there were new
  277. 12:34problems because we only know
  278. 12:36Jehoshaphat he did the good thing. Which
  279. 12:38one? in 2 Chronicles where he said he
  280. 12:41commanded the the the tambberine dancers
  281. 12:43and the worshippers to go and he he won
  282. 12:46the war. That's the only time you talk
  283. 12:48about Jehoshaphat.
  284. 12:49Other times you don't want to
  285. 12:51investigate his name. This passage in
  286. 12:53one of those passages where he had a
  287. 12:55compromise.
  288. 12:57Guess who he gave his son to be married
  289. 13:01to?
  290. 13:03King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.
  291. 13:07They were they were in-laws.
  292. 13:09And that surprises me at all. This guy,
  293. 13:12he is an absolute god-loving man. And
  294. 13:16they are known as a couple who is
  295. 13:19opposite to God. Yet because of
  296. 13:21political alliances, he was willing to
  297. 13:24give his son to be married to the
  298. 13:26daughter. Bro, that's the law you
  299. 13:28already broke.
  300. 13:31Every time knowingly you break a law,
  301. 13:34there will be compromises along those
  302. 13:36lines.
  303. 13:39Every time you say don't worry, you
  304. 13:42better be worried cuz I'm really not
  305. 13:44worried. You have to be worried. But
  306. 13:46you're telling others don't worry. No,
  307. 13:48you are need to be worried because when
  308. 13:50you break one, every other demon will
  309. 13:52follow through.
  310. 13:55Are you with me? There's no way they
  311. 13:58will not come. They will. This is that
  312. 14:00passage. But I'm not going to
  313. 14:01concentrate on Jehoshaphat. I want to
  314. 14:04put my eyes on Micaiah because that's my
  315. 14:06goal. And I pray that your heart
  316. 14:10desire to learn the scriptures will
  317. 14:12teach us this morning. Would you do
  318. 14:14that?
  319. 14:15>> I want to say a word of prayer. Father,
  320. 14:17I pray that you will teach us the truth.
  321. 14:19Open our hearts and our understanding so
  322. 14:21that your truth will go dive deep within
  323. 14:25us. will be rooted, planted in Jesus
  324. 14:29name. Amen.
  325. 14:32>> In first kings chapter
  326. 14:3522,
  327. 14:38it's very interesting
  328. 14:41in those days what the kings do or did
  329. 14:45was they not only consult the false
  330. 14:48prophets which is their own,
  331. 14:51they also consult the other prophets who
  332. 14:53are the true prophets. They'll always
  333. 14:54get them to come in and say, "What do
  334. 14:56you got to say?"
  335. 14:59And so in verse five, Jehoshaphat said
  336. 15:01to the king, it is a first kings chapter
  337. 15:0322:5.
  338. 15:06Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,
  339. 15:08remember Jehoshaphat is one king,
  340. 15:12the king of Israel is another guy. So
  341. 15:14they all talking to each other.
  342. 15:17Inquire first for the word of the Lord.
  343. 15:21First go and ask God what is he saying?
  344. 15:25Then the king of Israel gathered the
  345. 15:27prophets together who about 400 men. Who
  346. 15:30are the 400 men? Remember what Elijah
  347. 15:33did on the mount? There was
  348. 15:37450 he died. He killed. But there was
  349. 15:40another 400 of the false prophets. This
  350. 15:43is the remaining 400. They're all false
  351. 15:46prophets.
  352. 15:48So Jehoshaphat who is a true worshipper
  353. 15:52of God tells the king of you you go and
  354. 15:54ask that fellas what they are going to
  355. 15:56say. So they consulted. Now remember
  356. 15:59every time you tell your neighbor please
  357. 16:02pay attention what pastor is saying it's
  358. 16:04a long line.
  359. 16:05>> Okay done
  360. 16:09my wife is telling me thank you sister.
  361. 16:12[snorts]
  362. 16:13[laughter]
  363. 16:14Okay. Are you ready? Every time there is
  364. 16:18false food, every time the enemy wants
  365. 16:21to corner you with false, he will gather
  366. 16:24a group. Falseness will only go through
  367. 16:29when there is a group activity. But the
  368. 16:31truth always stands alone.
  369. 16:33>> Amen.
  370. 16:36>> The truth always stands alone. That is
  371. 16:38why when you make a stand for the truth,
  372. 16:40you have to stand alone.
  373. 16:41>> Amen.
  374. 16:43What when people create a false story
  375. 16:45they have to gather a group.
  376. 16:47>> When they gossip they have to gather a
  377. 16:49group because in only through group the
  378. 16:51falseness will be believed on. And if
  379. 16:53you are a person is always given to
  380. 16:55group what what everybody is saying you
  381. 16:57are easily so deceived because at the
  382. 17:00end of the day God will judge you based
  383. 17:02on what you and I know as the truth.
  384. 17:06Are you with me? And so he gathers these
  385. 17:08400 people. What is everybody saying?
  386. 17:12Shall I go to battle against Ramos
  387. 17:14Gilead or shall I refrain?
  388. 17:17And all of them it's like birds fgging
  389. 17:20together say the same thing. Go up.
  390. 17:23Remember what is the word says for the
  391. 17:25Lord will give you into the hand of the
  392. 17:28king.
  393. 17:30The all 400 people said I I almost
  394. 17:32wonder how you know how is that
  395. 17:35possible? You have so many fellas who
  396. 17:37are prophesying have the ability to
  397. 17:39prophesy in our church. Rarely I've
  398. 17:41heard
  399. 17:43at least three of them saying the same
  400. 17:45prophecy word for word.
  401. 17:48They will say the same meaning but not
  402. 17:51in the same way. Why? Because our
  403. 17:53vocabularies are different. Our
  404. 17:54understanding is different. The the
  405. 17:57pictures God will show you are
  406. 17:59different. But end up you will interpret
  407. 18:01it the same way. You get what I'm
  408. 18:02saying? But here 400 are saying the same
  409. 18:05lines.
  410. 18:06So it must be there must be a hate guy
  411. 18:09who will say something the others must
  412. 18:11follow. Correct? Because it's impossible
  413. 18:14unless the demonic spirit of false
  414. 18:17prophecy works all in the same way. Then
  415. 18:20verse seven, Jehoshaphat
  416. 18:22said, "Is there not here another prophet
  417. 18:28of the Lord whom we inquire?" Look at
  418. 18:31this called uh uh politically right
  419. 18:34statement.
  420. 18:37The king of Israel is the guy who went
  421. 18:39to the 400 false prophets. Jehoshaphat
  422. 18:42is the right guy who loves God. So he's
  423. 18:44making a different statement. Is there
  424. 18:46another guy that we could uh hear who
  425. 18:50can hear from God? And actually he was
  426. 18:53wanting to hear the true word from the
  427. 18:55Lord. Are you following? Are you
  428. 18:56following the story?
  429. 18:58>> Okay.
  430. 19:00So, [clears throat]
  431. 19:02and verse eight, and the king of Israel
  432. 19:04said to Jo Jehoshaphat, which is going
  433. 19:06to kick off my first point, there is yet
  434. 19:09one man by whom we may inquire of the
  435. 19:12Lord. Now, if this man is not the man
  436. 19:17who speaks the truth, the king of Israel
  437. 19:20or the wrong king will not remember him.
  438. 19:22He's just another false prophet. So,
  439. 19:24don't worry about this fella. But there
  440. 19:26is always the truth. No matter which
  441. 19:28corner you hide, the truth will prevail
  442. 19:31in your life.
  443. 19:33>> When you stand for the truth, you'll be
  444. 19:35known. When you stand for the truth, you
  445. 19:38will not be forgotten. When you stand
  446. 19:40for the truth, everybody will remember
  447. 19:42you no matter where you are hiding. Are
  448. 19:46you with me? Compromises are the one who
  449. 19:48are forgotten.
  450. 19:52>> Isn't that interesting? When you want to
  451. 19:54gossip, you know whose number to call.
  452. 19:56And when you want to know the truth, you
  453. 19:58have a someone's number there. Now, this
  454. 20:00person will always be fair to me. Huh?
  455. 20:03Interesting, huh?
  456. 20:06I hope you are under my truth list.
  457. 20:09[snorts]
  458. 20:11This one gossip channel. Sure.
  459. 20:14I got nothing else to do. You know, I'm
  460. 20:16eating peanuts. I just want to hear
  461. 20:18someone.
  462. 20:21But when I want to hear the truth, I
  463. 20:24have some numbers to call. So this is
  464. 20:26the number. He said there is yet one
  465. 20:29man. Listen carefully. Are you listening
  466. 20:30or not?
  467. 20:31>> It's critical you hear the way I'm
  468. 20:33saying it.
  469. 20:35This is yet one man by whom we may
  470. 20:37inquire of the Lord. Micaiah the son of
  471. 20:40Imla. BUT I HATE HIM. I like you, bro.
  472. 20:44[laughter]
  473. 20:47I hate him.
  474. 20:50He has the word of the Lord. There is
  475. 20:53this guy who will always say the truth.
  476. 20:55BUT I HATE HIM.
  477. 20:57Hey prophets, listen. You don't have to
  478. 20:59be loved.
  479. 21:01>> But you tell the truth.
  480. 21:02>> Amen.
  481. 21:07>> You operate in the realm of feelings and
  482. 21:08you think how come they are popular and
  483. 21:10not me. You are not there for public
  484. 21:12acceptance. You are there to tell the
  485. 21:14truth.
  486. 21:17>> Everybody wants to be forefront. No, not
  487. 21:20everybody's called to be forefront. But
  488. 21:22when it's your time to tell the truth,
  489. 21:23say the truth.
  490. 21:26>> Everybody will have a chance to be a
  491. 21:29testimony. I just want you to know
  492. 21:32the problem is in church when you are
  493. 21:35groomed up in church. You see one guy on
  494. 21:37the stage all the time. And so the goal
  495. 21:39becomes guy Lord I want to be that
  496. 21:42person that is on the stage. I want to
  497. 21:44stand on the stage. But you cannot be on
  498. 21:46the stage. You have not started on the
  499. 21:48streets.
  500. 21:50Hello
  501. 21:51Testimony starts from the street, not
  502. 21:53here.
  503. 21:56>> Sing it to the world. It starts that way
  504. 21:59before you can sing it to the people of
  505. 22:00God. Are you with me? Because you are
  506. 22:04tested and proven. Are you with me?
  507. 22:05Today we have a lot of people who are
  508. 22:08not tested in the walks of life. They
  509. 22:10have a degree. They come and tell us
  510. 22:12book knowledge that doesn't transform.
  511. 22:16We want knowledge. We want ideas how to
  512. 22:19get out. But sometimes God is not
  513. 22:21getting out how to stay in and be
  514. 22:24truthful
  515. 22:26>> because God's appointed time. He can't
  516. 22:28do anything about it.
  517. 22:32>> I this fellow tells the truth but I hat
  518. 22:35him who because why? For he never
  519. 22:39prophesies good concerning me but evil.
  520. 22:46I love this fellow bro. I I now at the
  521. 22:48moment I love the king more than the
  522. 22:50prophet Micaiah because at least he
  523. 22:52tells the truth for now.
  524. 22:55The first thing I want to handle
  525. 22:58for us is to pay attention to the word
  526. 23:00hatred.
  527. 23:02In the end times, hatred will become the
  528. 23:04game the enemy will use because the
  529. 23:07Bible says in Matthew chapter 24 verse
  530. 23:1010. Look at Matthew 24:10. And then many
  531. 23:14will fall away and betray one another
  532. 23:17and hate one another. You know how
  533. 23:21strong the word hate is? That will be
  534. 23:23used against you.
  535. 23:26Can you handle that? You got to work on
  536. 23:28your emotions.
  537. 23:31You got to work on your feeling button
  538. 23:36because if you want to be a love bird
  539. 23:37and everybody must like you, you're not
  540. 23:41a poster child. Jesus said, "If you
  541. 23:44follow me, people will hate you."
  542. 23:47And sometimes even our own families can
  543. 23:50stand against because you're following
  544. 23:52God.
  545. 23:54And I'm saying with a lot of respect,
  546. 23:56their love is correct, but they don't
  547. 24:00understand the destinies that God has
  548. 24:02for us.
  549. 24:06You know, many times when I
  550. 24:09pray for others and minister to others
  551. 24:12and they tell me about family troubles,
  552. 24:14their parents, and it just makes me I
  553. 24:17can't help but to tell you as a
  554. 24:19testimony,
  555. 24:21my mother
  556. 24:23gave me or taught me common sense
  557. 24:26[snorts]
  558. 24:27of life, but she never stood against the
  559. 24:32will of God for my life. She never
  560. 24:34stood. She did not. No, I mean she'd
  561. 24:37never stand against it. Anything God
  562. 24:41told me to do, she said go and do it.
  563. 24:45But she told me about common sense. I
  564. 24:47you must get married. You must have a
  565. 24:48house. You must learn to work hard. Uh
  566. 24:52when your ministry is not bigger now,
  567. 24:55work hard so that no one will look down
  568. 24:57on Jesus because of you. How come God is
  569. 25:00not providing? Go and work hard. When a
  570. 25:02ministry grows, it will pay for itself.
  571. 25:04Can you can you believe that? For me, it
  572. 25:08was heaven speaking to me wisdom. You
  573. 25:11see guys, listen. Tell your neighbor. Go
  574. 25:14pastor is going to tell you something.
  575. 25:16The next line is for you
  576. 25:21telling your neighbor is him,
  577. 25:24not me. I'm the preacher, the wise guy.
  578. 25:27I'm the wise guy. Right. [laughter]
  579. 25:33Many times you are looking for prophecy,
  580. 25:36you should be looking for wisdom.
  581. 25:40>> Don't look out for another prophecy how
  582. 25:42to get out. You need to have wisdom how
  583. 25:44to break out.
  584. 25:48>> Prophecy makes you have a good feeling.
  585. 25:50You still know must know what to do from
  586. 25:52Monday onwards.
  587. 25:55>> You still have to face the same music.
  588. 25:58That is why I asked uh Larry when he's
  589. 26:01in church the heartbeat is 50.
  590. 26:04What happens when he go home? He he said
  591. 26:06not to tell you it's better. [laughter]
  592. 26:11I don't want to. He said 120. [laughter]
  593. 26:16In other words, your heart is more alert
  594. 26:18when you go home. That's that's that's
  595. 26:19that's the word we want. [laughter]
  596. 26:25Just amazing. You
  597. 26:28speak the same way like Angeline, bro.
  598. 26:29Whenever she talks to me, her heartbeat
  599. 26:31goes.
  600. 26:34>> Wow. [laughter]
  601. 26:36Look at that, bro. Amen. He just said
  602. 26:39after 57 years, God is still searching
  603. 26:41his heart. And
  604. 26:42>> oh,
  605. 26:44[clears throat]
  606. 26:46>> okay. Let's not make it public.
  607. 26:48[laughter]
  608. 26:51Amen. [clears throat]
  609. 26:54I want you to pay attention to the word
  610. 26:56hatred today. Just a few moments. I want
  611. 26:59to tackle few words. These are clues
  612. 27:02that God is giving to us. Now, you know
  613. 27:04what? Micaiah has to learn how to serve
  614. 27:08in the midst of a king who hated him the
  615. 27:10most. Would you know how to do that?
  616. 27:14You want everybody to accept you and
  617. 27:15love you. No, I'm not coming. But do you
  618. 27:17know how to serve in the midst of
  619. 27:20hatred?
  620. 27:22God can place you right there because
  621. 27:24the hatred of men is nothing compared to
  622. 27:27the hatred of Jezebel or the hatred of
  623. 27:30Nebuchadnezzar or the hatred of the end
  624. 27:33times that will come against the people
  625. 27:35of God.
  626. 27:38>> And sometimes when people hate you, your
  627. 27:40faith shrinks instead of letting it
  628. 27:43grow.
  629. 27:46I don't like I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR
  630. 27:47PROPHECY.
  631. 27:49OKAY? doesn't mean God is not
  632. 27:53going to use me for the day. YOU HAVE
  633. 27:56NEVER PROPHESIED ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT ME,
  634. 27:59BRO. Because there's nothing good to
  635. 28:01say.
  636. 28:03>> You're full of evil. You're going to get
  637. 28:05evil stuff out, bro.
  638. 28:07>> Hello.
  639. 28:10>> If if you're going to wash your muddy
  640. 28:13shoes, you soak it in water, mud is
  641. 28:16going to come out. What is that? such a
  642. 28:19surprise for you.
  643. 28:22Some people talk to yourself, "Oh, I
  644. 28:24didn't know I'm so dirty." Okay,
  645. 28:29are you following?
  646. 28:30>> Now, you see, because he's a king, he
  647. 28:34thinks his comments are correct. People
  648. 28:38will abuse their position and their
  649. 28:41attitude in their ignor. I didn't know
  650. 28:44by saying but they are saying the false
  651. 28:47things.
  652. 28:49This year the king is saying you know
  653. 28:51what I hate him but you're a king. If
  654. 28:54you hate means then he must be right. No
  655. 28:55you're not.
  656. 28:57Because Jehoshaphat stood beside him and
  657. 28:59says is there another guy who can say
  658. 29:01something? Micaiah comes out and then
  659. 29:04this guy is saying but you know what he
  660. 29:06has never said anything about me good so
  661. 29:08I want to tackle the first one the word
  662. 29:10hatred guys listen hatred will justify
  663. 29:14your betrayal
  664. 29:16there are three things will happen
  665. 29:18before hatred manifests
  666. 29:22you cannot betray when you don't love if
  667. 29:25you are loving one another you cannot
  668. 29:26betray that person
  669. 29:29>> you cannot betray when you are in the
  670. 29:32love of God. Can you? You can't.
  671. 29:36When you're full of God's love, God's
  672. 29:38word will override your anger.
  673. 29:41>> Huh?
  674. 29:43>> When you're full of the word of God, the
  675. 29:45word of God will convict you and deal
  676. 29:48with that anger that is trying to grow.
  677. 29:52I remember one time there was problems
  678. 29:54in our one of the churches that I
  679. 29:56planted
  680. 29:57>> [snorts]
  681. 29:57>> uh in Malaysia and it was a serious
  682. 29:59problem that I had to call the elders
  683. 30:02for a meeting to um to put out one of
  684. 30:06these elders who are having a character
  685. 30:09strong issue that was dividing
  686. 30:12uh a big okay anyway creating a big
  687. 30:15problem. So I decided to take the strong
  688. 30:19stand. I
  689. 30:22had a meeting.
  690. 30:25While I had the meeting, I'm seeing a
  691. 30:27vision. And so now I'm conflicted. What
  692. 30:30was the vision? The Lord said, "Can you
  693. 30:33see him through my eyes?" No.
  694. 30:38Because if I see through your eyes, I
  695. 30:40will change my mind now. I know you are
  696. 30:42trying to do that. You're going to play
  697. 30:43trick on me again, you know.
  698. 30:49Okay,
  699. 30:51show me.
  700. 30:53And I'm seeing him like a crawling baby.
  701. 30:58I say, "What? Take away the lens." He's
  702. 31:01like a fool. Put the lens is a crawling
  703. 31:03baby. Take away the lens. He's talking
  704. 31:05like a fool. Put the lens back is a
  705. 31:07crawling baby. And the Lord told me,
  706. 31:10"Forgive him because he doesn't know
  707. 31:12what he's doing. He's so childishly
  708. 31:15doing wrong things.
  709. 31:18I said, "God, that is why I don't want
  710. 31:19to see your lens
  711. 31:22because you keep telling me to forgive.
  712. 31:25I'm a leader. I need to set certain
  713. 31:27example." He said, "Be my example."
  714. 31:31>> Hey,
  715. 31:36be my example.
  716. 31:40You and I will have plenty of
  717. 31:41opportunities to act like the devil to
  718. 31:43people. But God wants you to act like
  719. 31:46him.
  720. 31:49>> You just don't know. One forgiveness,
  721. 31:52one change of heart is going to save a
  722. 31:54destiny of another person's life. Just
  723. 31:57one of those moments. You just don't
  724. 31:59know when that is.
  725. 32:02Hatred.
  726. 32:03The enemy is going to manipulate the
  727. 32:05hatred. Now, you cannot have hatred if
  728. 32:07you love one another. You cannot have
  729. 32:09hatred if you'll have the love of God.
  730. 32:11In order to betray, listen carefully. In
  731. 32:14order to betray, there must be
  732. 32:17unjustified anger inside you. You know
  733. 32:21what is unjustified? That means you did
  734. 32:23not even ask whether you are you can be
  735. 32:26angry. You didn't ask with another
  736. 32:28person whether my anger is justified or
  737. 32:30not. As long as you don't ask anybody,
  738. 32:33this is an unjustified anger. keep
  739. 32:36growing it so that you can betray.
  740. 32:39When people want to betray you, they are
  741. 32:41looking for opportunities.
  742. 32:44They'll wait for all the slightest
  743. 32:46moment and that unjustified moment will
  744. 32:49create points for betrayal. You know why
  745. 32:51I'm saying all this? Because God is
  746. 32:53watching from heaven. You can say
  747. 32:55anything you want before men. You can
  748. 32:58have all your crocodile tears. You can
  749. 33:00justify by your emotions and make it
  750. 33:03look like, "Oh, but I'm losing my mind."
  751. 33:05You're not losing anything because God
  752. 33:07is watching. Are you with me? Are you
  753. 33:11listening,
  754. 33:12>> bro? This is hard knock. Are you able to
  755. 33:14take heart knock?
  756. 33:17>> Because Matthew 5:22, go back to Matthew
  757. 33:205:22. I will show you the scripture, not
  758. 33:24my opinion. Look at the scripture.
  759. 33:26Matthew 5:22.
  760. 33:28But I say to you that everyone who's
  761. 33:30angry with his brother will be what?
  762. 33:34Come on, say it to yourself and it's
  763. 33:36your turn.
  764. 33:37>> Anyone who's angry with your brother
  765. 33:39will be what?
  766. 33:41>> Whoever insults his brother will be
  767. 33:43what?
  768. 33:45>> Whoever says you fool will be liable to
  769. 33:48what?
  770. 33:50>> Hey, come on. Come on. Why is the
  771. 33:51hellfire going down and down and down?
  772. 33:54Now, do you believe
  773. 33:57Jesus told the truth?
  774. 34:02>> Or was he joking? Come on, let's let's
  775. 34:04take a vote.
  776. 34:07>> That means you can be if you are angry,
  777. 34:11unjustified for no reason, you drag them
  778. 34:14everywhere,
  779. 34:16you'll be loyal to hellfire. Do you
  780. 34:18believe this?
  781. 34:20>> Look at what hatred will do. Hatred will
  782. 34:24not drag me. It will drag the one who
  783. 34:27started.
  784. 34:31I want you to know what it does. And
  785. 34:33that's exactly what the enemy will do to
  786. 34:35trick you into the play.
  787. 34:39He wants your soul.
  788. 34:41He will make you create a mirror image.
  789. 34:46My brothers and sisters, if you are
  790. 34:48struggling with unforgiveness,
  791. 34:51if you have been a neglected child, you
  792. 34:53have been a child that no one paid
  793. 34:55attention to. So you cook up emotions so
  794. 34:58that everybody will pay attention to
  795. 34:59your emotions.
  796. 35:01It's very easy to create an emotion at
  797. 35:04home because that's the only way they
  798. 35:05will pay attention to me. Pay attention
  799. 35:08to this scripture that is a God who's
  800. 35:10watching from above.
  801. 35:13How many times there are cases that we
  802. 35:15have read in the newspaper that people
  803. 35:17who have been judged
  804. 35:20wrongly thrown into prison after 30
  805. 35:22years found out he was innocent and
  806. 35:24someone pays for it. All because there
  807. 35:27was hatred and vengeance.
  808. 35:31My brothers and sisters, yeah, the the
  809. 35:34it was vindicated on earth, but heaven
  810. 35:36is still holding your records.
  811. 35:40Are you with me? I want to show you that
  812. 35:43scripture. Go back Matthew 24 and verse
  813. 35:4610. You will see what I'm teaching now.
  814. 35:50The Lord wouldn't have told me three
  815. 35:52times a name if that is not important
  816. 35:55for us. Now Matthew 24:10 and then many
  817. 35:59will fall away and number two they will
  818. 36:01do what?
  819. 36:03>> And number three what?
  820. 36:05>> That means before a hate threat could
  821. 36:08come in there will be a betrayal. That's
  822. 36:11number two. Before betrayal will come in
  823. 36:14many will first fall away. In other
  824. 36:16words unless you fall away you cannot
  825. 36:19betray anyone.
  826. 36:22Are you following? The first thing what
  827. 36:24would have happened? They would have
  828. 36:26fallen away from the word of God.
  829. 36:29You would have fallen away from the
  830. 36:31spirit of God that is convicting you.
  831. 36:34You have fallen away the major rule of
  832. 36:37the scriptures or the life of Christ.
  833. 36:39Love one another. You have fallen away
  834. 36:42from that. Why marriages break? Because
  835. 36:45they have broken the rule of love.
  836. 36:47That's all. You can give any other word
  837. 36:49that you would like to when the rule of
  838. 36:52love is broken. Whichever way the
  839. 36:54application is,
  840. 36:57when love is broken, everything falls
  841. 36:59apart.
  842. 37:05When there is a falling away, the second
  843. 37:07thing takes place,
  844. 37:10betrayal.
  845. 37:12You'll be betrayed by people. Listen,
  846. 37:14when the moment you say betrayal,
  847. 37:17only a friend can betray you, not a
  848. 37:20stranger. You know that, right?
  849. 37:24Only a person who knows you in and out
  850. 37:27can betray you. That is called betrayal.
  851. 37:29You cannot claim innocence. That's
  852. 37:32called betrayal.
  853. 37:34And the enemy will infiltrate
  854. 37:39into relationships in the end times.
  855. 37:44Why do we say my wife or my husband
  856. 37:46betrayed me?
  857. 37:48Why do we say my children betray? Why do
  858. 37:50we say church friends betrayed me?
  859. 37:53Because the word betrayal means I know
  860. 37:55them that close.
  861. 37:57They didn't walk away. They didn't
  862. 38:00decide not to talk to you.
  863. 38:04In my primary school days in the
  864. 38:0870s, it was a fun thing to play. If you
  865. 38:12are my friend, touch my thumb. If you
  866. 38:13are my enemy or you don't like me, touch
  867. 38:15my pinky finger. And then they will have
  868. 38:17to choose. You are my friend or my this.
  869. 38:19So they will say either this or that.
  870. 38:21Okay, we are no longer friends. So easy
  871. 38:25because there's no betrayals. Just touch
  872. 38:27this or touch that. Nowadays they don't
  873. 38:30like you. They want to betray you.
  874. 38:34Think about what Jesus is saying is
  875. 38:35going to happen. The prophet Micaiah
  876. 38:39is supposed to learn how to be a a
  877. 38:41prophet in the midst of hatred.
  878. 38:45And he must still speak the truth of
  879. 38:48God's word. You cannot betray a stranger
  880. 38:51only those whom you know. Now in order
  881. 38:53for betrayal to grow or to sustain
  882. 38:56betrayal or justify it they have to hate
  883. 38:59you enough so that that hatred will keep
  884. 39:03the betrayal inside because if I allow
  885. 39:06the Holy Spirit to come I'll start
  886. 39:08forgiving you again. If I allow the Holy
  887. 39:11Spirit to come I'll change my mind. If I
  888. 39:13allow the Holy Spirit to come, I will be
  889. 39:16wrong and I have to confess it. I'm
  890. 39:18wrong. I cannot say that. So, in order
  891. 39:21for ME TO HOLD IT, I must hate you. Are
  892. 39:25you following?
  893. 39:28Don't fall into that gap today in the
  894. 39:30name of Jesus.
  895. 39:33Don't hate your spouse. If you don't
  896. 39:35like, you don't like. If it's divorce,
  897. 39:36it's divorce. The moment you hit, you're
  898. 39:38allowing the enemy to park inside your
  899. 39:42life.
  900. 39:45And it'll be so surprising.
  901. 39:49You can you can test what I say. You
  902. 39:51know, it could be your grandma or
  903. 39:53someone who said something to you and
  904. 39:54insulted you in your family gathering
  905. 39:56and you're so angry with your grandma or
  906. 39:58your aunt or whoever it was and and you
  907. 40:01now you grew up 25 years has passed and
  908. 40:03then the Holy Spirit is convicting you
  909. 40:05because you didn't like her. You didn't
  910. 40:06want to talk to them and one day the
  911. 40:08Holy Spirit touched you and say go and
  912. 40:10ask for forgiveness and you went there
  913. 40:11and asked they couldn't even remember
  914. 40:13what they said and you were like a fool
  915. 40:15remembering what they said for 25 years.
  916. 40:18Hello I didn't know that. Oh really? Oh
  917. 40:21you stupid child. You should have told
  918. 40:22me what you know I had to go for
  919. 40:25counseling because of you. What do you
  920. 40:27mean I'm a stupid child?
  921. 40:33I want you to know, listen, when you
  922. 40:35hold on to callous words, that is acting
  923. 40:39stupid.
  924. 40:41When you hold on to worthless words,
  925. 40:45that's acting stupid. I know we don't
  926. 40:47like the word stupid from the pullpit.
  927. 40:49It is pastor, how can it be so strong?
  928. 40:51Sometimes stronger surgery deals with
  929. 40:54stronger problems.
  930. 40:57>> Why? Why do we have to use nicer words
  931. 40:59when there are stronger problems the
  932. 41:01enemy is building up?
  933. 41:02>> Hello.
  934. 41:04>> Can someone say preach the truth?
  935. 41:09>> You want to be ready, be ready. You want
  936. 41:11to be a man, then be a man and talk like
  937. 41:12a man. If if you want to hear the truth
  938. 41:15and this is the way, bro, then let's be
  939. 41:17the way.
  940. 41:20>> The truth from the pullpit must be
  941. 41:22heard,
  942. 41:23>> not another compromise.
  943. 41:26Because the truth will set us free. You
  944. 41:28see,
  945. 41:33>> in order for me to sustain, look at
  946. 41:36first John chapter 3:3-15.
  947. 41:39Paul uh John was taken up by God in the
  948. 41:44end time saw the antichrist. Saw this
  949. 41:46and saw that. Before that, God prepared
  950. 41:50his heart to teach us. So look at first
  951. 41:52John chapter 3:E 13. Let me Okay. three,
  952. 41:56chapter 3 and uh verse 1313.
  953. 42:02It says, "Do not be surprised, brothers,
  954. 42:06that the world what?"
  955. 42:08>> Yeah, it it's a strong word now hates
  956. 42:11you. We know that we have passed out of
  957. 42:14death into life. Verse 14, because we
  958. 42:17love the brothers.
  959. 42:20Hey, it's not talking about loving God
  960. 42:22now. It's just talking about love the
  961. 42:24brothers. Whoever does not love Oh,
  962. 42:26sorry. I don't want to say it. Can you
  963. 42:28please say it?
  964. 42:32>> Do you see what it says? And how God
  965. 42:34judges us. If you don't love your
  966. 42:36brother, he's not telling all Tom, Dick,
  967. 42:39and Gary who's walking down the street.
  968. 42:40No, he's talking about your brother,
  969. 42:43your sister.
  970. 42:46It's so easy to say, I love everybody.
  971. 42:48Are you sure? You're supposed to love
  972. 42:49the one beside you.
  973. 42:53God holds that into judgment.
  974. 42:57He said if if if you don't you abide in
  975. 43:00death and if you abide in death you're
  976. 43:01not serving God. Is that clear or not?
  977. 43:07>> Paul this John has to distinguish
  978. 43:10because many during his time in the name
  979. 43:13of God were doing bad things because
  980. 43:16John said the antichrist is already
  981. 43:19amongst us.
  982. 43:21Then John created another challenge for
  983. 43:23us. He said there are many who started
  984. 43:26with us. They left us but they are not
  985. 43:29of us anymore. They started to do the
  986. 43:32bad thing. They are no longer in the
  987. 43:34fellowship with God. How did he measure
  988. 43:38them? By the rule of God's love.
  989. 43:42I'm not talking about who left us. I'm
  990. 43:44talking about who is staying here.
  991. 43:46Remember to walk in love. Don't justify
  992. 43:49anger. Don't justify hatred. Don't
  993. 43:52justify betrayal. Come before the cross
  994. 43:55and repent
  995. 43:58because you can hit your husband. You
  996. 44:00can hit your wife. You can hit your
  997. 44:03children.
  998. 44:07You can hit the very person who love you
  999. 44:09and care for you. And and and now he
  1000. 44:12goes on to say [clears throat]
  1001. 44:14in verse 15, how many of you are
  1002. 44:15learning something this morning? Yeah.
  1003. 44:18Look at in verse 15. Everyone who hates
  1004. 44:21his brother is a what?
  1005. 44:24>> And you know that no murderer has
  1006. 44:25eternal life abiding in him. Bro, that's
  1007. 44:27a strong statement, man.
  1008. 44:33If you've got hatred,
  1009. 44:36the eternal life you just passed out.
  1010. 44:39You see how strong the word hatred can
  1011. 44:43be traced back.
  1012. 44:45And God wants you to make the stand like
  1013. 44:47Micaiah.
  1014. 44:49I'm not looking for favors from the
  1015. 44:51king.
  1016. 44:53I'm not going to say yes in case he
  1017. 44:55kills me. Because Micaiah said, I'm
  1018. 44:58going to only say what the Lord is going
  1019. 45:00to tell me to tell you.
  1020. 45:04Is he going to agree with the other
  1021. 45:06false prophet? No, I'm not a false
  1022. 45:07prophet. I don't have to agree with
  1023. 45:08them. Hello. Hello. Are you agreeing?
  1024. 45:13I'm not a false prophet to agree with
  1025. 45:14them. I will hear from the Lord and say
  1026. 45:17what the Lord wants me to say. So this
  1027. 45:20is the challenge that you and I will
  1028. 45:21have in one of these end times. Learn to
  1029. 45:24grow in the midst of hatred.
  1030. 45:29Cultivate your garden.
  1031. 45:33I remember when we first came and uh
  1032. 45:36from America uh Singapore and uh a part
  1033. 45:40of our garden the the the the
  1034. 45:43uh the grass was not looking green.
  1035. 45:47It was different color like limestone.
  1036. 45:51And I prayed God please help me. I don't
  1037. 45:54know what to do. The angel Mr. Larry
  1038. 45:56came by.
  1039. 45:59He doesn't require prayer. Just he
  1040. 46:01bought some what? What is that? You
  1041. 46:03bought something and he put some kind of
  1042. 46:06soil.
  1043. 46:07You said
  1044. 46:09>> Yeah. He said there is a issue. You just
  1045. 46:11buy this and he throw it there will
  1046. 46:12become green. And that's what happened.
  1047. 46:16Every time there is a challenge if you
  1048. 46:18are guarding got to deal with it, isn't
  1049. 46:20it?
  1050. 46:22And so God is teaching us how to
  1051. 46:24cultivate
  1052. 46:26and serve God in the midst of
  1053. 46:28hatredness.
  1054. 46:30how to preach the truth in the midst of
  1055. 46:32hatredness.
  1056. 46:34But if you are a lonely bird and and you
  1057. 46:36don't want to be lonely because you
  1058. 46:38prefer to be in a group, you're afraid
  1059. 46:41to be left out and you rather join the
  1060. 46:44falsehood. Your name is written in this.
  1061. 46:48There's no eternal life abiding in him.
  1062. 46:52I wanted to check take the truth test.
  1063. 46:56I've lost promotions in work because I
  1064. 46:59stood truthfully for others. I've lost
  1065. 47:03jobs because I stood for my team who was
  1066. 47:06working instead of falsely accusing them
  1067. 47:09and kicking them out of jobs.
  1068. 47:12I've been through that track. I have
  1069. 47:14been falsely even put into the the
  1070. 47:17military time because I stand and told
  1071. 47:20my officer, "No, that's wrong, sir. He
  1072. 47:22didn't do all these things because they
  1073. 47:23trying to falsely charge him and I was
  1074. 47:26put into sign extras because I stood
  1075. 47:28instead of supporting the officer. No,
  1076. 47:31I'm not going to support you, bro. You
  1077. 47:32want to charge me? That's fine.
  1078. 47:36Truth will cost you. Truth will make you
  1079. 47:39stand alone. Jesus stood for you, bro,
  1080. 47:41when everybody left you.
  1081. 47:46When the knife came to stab me when I
  1082. 47:48was 15. When everybody left me. The only
  1083. 47:51one who stood and said,
  1084. 47:53"I'm going to give you another chance."
  1085. 47:55Was Jesus.
  1086. 47:57The God that I pushed back is the one
  1087. 47:58who stood.
  1088. 48:01And I remember that day, bro. It's as
  1089. 48:03though as though it happened yesterday.
  1090. 48:05I could remember. I can replay.
  1091. 48:08My mind doesn't get corrupted because of
  1092. 48:10that testimony. The Lord who never gave
  1093. 48:13up. So the Lord is asking us to stand
  1094. 48:17true. Lesson number two. I've got three
  1095. 48:19lessons to give. Three, four or five.
  1096. 48:22Maybe I just give you number one. Number
  1097. 48:23two. Are you learning?
  1098. 48:24>> Yes.
  1099. 48:25>> Important is you are learning. Chapter
  1100. 48:2622. First Kings 22. Look at verse 8.
  1101. 48:35And the king of Israel said to
  1102. 48:37Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by
  1103. 48:39whom we may inquire of the Lord,
  1104. 48:41Micaiah, the son of Imla, but I hate
  1105. 48:44him. But he never prophesies good
  1106. 48:46concerning me, but evil.
  1107. 48:50Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say
  1108. 48:52so."
  1109. 48:54Lesson number two,
  1110. 48:56you need to stand against wrongly
  1111. 49:00interpreting prophecy.
  1112. 49:04He didn't say anything good to me but
  1113. 49:06evil. Who's saying that? A person who's
  1114. 49:09disconnected with God. Hey, listen.
  1115. 49:13Most of the time for the sake of
  1116. 49:14friendship we pay more attention and
  1117. 49:17give more value to our friends who are
  1118. 49:19not connected with God. And the ones who
  1119. 49:22are connected with God you don't want to
  1120. 49:24be their friend.
  1121. 49:26You know what will happen when God
  1122. 49:27touches you? You will change your
  1123. 49:29association. That's the first thing that
  1124. 49:31will take place. By looking at your
  1125. 49:33association, we can measure the value of
  1126. 49:37love or faith in your life. You cannot
  1127. 49:39have 99 ungodly friends
  1128. 49:43and then wonder why your faith is weak
  1129. 49:47and you are so much into these
  1130. 49:49ungodliness. When you come to church,
  1131. 49:52you have no friends because you can't
  1132. 49:53find a godly friend to match with.
  1133. 49:57They don't talk about girls. They don't
  1134. 49:59talk about f language. They don't talk
  1135. 50:00about worthly things. They don't talk
  1136. 50:03about worthless things. They talk about
  1137. 50:05worth things. They talk about God. They
  1138. 50:08talk about love. They talk about peace.
  1139. 50:10They talk about forgiving. They working
  1140. 50:12talking about working hard and doing
  1141. 50:14well in life. And it can't go through
  1142. 50:16your system
  1143. 50:18because in the other group they talk
  1144. 50:20about taking advantage lying through the
  1145. 50:22system. How to say the wrong thing and
  1146. 50:24make someone else responsible because
  1147. 50:26those are the ungodliness that is
  1148. 50:28entering. You don't mind.
  1149. 50:31That is why the Bible says, listen guys,
  1150. 50:34the Bible says in Psalms chapter one
  1151. 50:37that you shall not sit with the ungodly.
  1152. 50:42You shall not even stand with them
  1153. 50:47and you shall not walk in their counsel.
  1154. 50:51And instead of that, if you shall
  1155. 50:54meditate the word of God day and night,
  1156. 50:58you shall be like a tree planted by the
  1157. 51:00rivers of the living water. When
  1158. 51:03everybody else is withering away, you
  1159. 51:06will grow. When everybody else their
  1160. 51:09fruit is dying by the month, you will be
  1161. 51:11fruitful. [snorts] The Bible says, "Your
  1162. 51:14leaves shall be green." And listen,
  1163. 51:17whatever you shall do with your hands,
  1164. 51:19you will prosper. Amen.
  1165. 51:22>> It's not a free deal. It's only for
  1166. 51:25those who will be planted by the rivers
  1167. 51:27of living water. It's a choice that you
  1168. 51:30and I must make. When I saw that coming
  1169. 51:34out from this background, when I saw
  1170. 51:36that the only way that God will bless my
  1171. 51:40hands that fought, the only way God will
  1172. 51:43bless these hands that was fighting
  1173. 51:46against others for wrong reason
  1174. 51:49is when I will abide by his word.
  1175. 51:53I got to deal with being in a group all
  1176. 51:56the time to being alone. It was hard
  1177. 51:59because from the morning you wake up to
  1178. 52:01the night before you drop dead to sleep,
  1179. 52:04you're always hanging around in the
  1180. 52:06group of ungodliness. There's beers and
  1181. 52:09there's drinking. There's vulgarities
  1182. 52:11and the worldliness. There is fight.
  1183. 52:13You're just waiting around for another
  1184. 52:15fight.
  1185. 52:17If you don't have nothing to do, pick a
  1186. 52:18fight.
  1187. 52:22From all of that, I had to learn how to
  1188. 52:24draw myself and speak to a God whom I
  1189. 52:27can see. I can't I could learn how to
  1190. 52:30read. I don't like to read, bro. But
  1191. 52:32Jesus said, "If you shall meditate the
  1192. 52:34word, it took a lot of time to break out
  1193. 52:38from this past so that God will bless
  1194. 52:41the work of these hands. I don't need
  1195. 52:43somebody's help when I can be a help to
  1196. 52:46others."
  1197. 52:48>> Why is that? You always need help from
  1198. 52:50someone when you are able and you can
  1199. 52:52work.
  1200. 52:55I see a lot of people stop by the gas
  1201. 52:57station. Can you give me $5? Why you
  1202. 52:59want to work for me? I'll give you 20
  1203. 53:02for one hour. You're willing cut down
  1204. 53:05some trees I've got. I'll give you $20
  1205. 53:07an hour. Why not? Why do you ask for
  1206. 53:09free things when he can work?
  1207. 53:14The people in wheelchairs are working
  1208. 53:17and you are such a ablebodied man. You
  1209. 53:20don't want to work.
  1210. 53:22You just want to tell your sorry stories
  1211. 53:24to everybody.
  1212. 53:26Hello.
  1213. 53:27Am I speaking to someone here?
  1214. 53:30>> I'm not speaking to you personally, man.
  1215. 53:31I'm attacking that spirit that is
  1216. 53:34binding us.
  1217. 53:36>> Why you settling in for five when he can
  1218. 53:38make more?
  1219. 53:40Live a life of blessedness, not life out
  1220. 53:43of someone's charity.
  1221. 53:47>> Are you with me? God wants to turn you
  1222. 53:49into a blessing. He wants to turn you
  1223. 53:51into a tree that gives blessing to
  1224. 53:54others.
  1225. 53:59>> It's nice to hear, you know, someone
  1226. 54:01gave me. It will be much more nicer you
  1227. 54:04hear when there are 20 people said that
  1228. 54:06guy blessed me and that guy is actually
  1229. 54:10you.
  1230. 54:12You cannot bless someone if you don't
  1231. 54:13have.
  1232. 54:15And that's what God wants to do, bro. He
  1233. 54:17He wants to remove this hatred. He wants
  1234. 54:20to remove these things out of you that
  1235. 54:22you will be a bless. And the second
  1236. 54:23thing to remember is when people wrongly
  1237. 54:26interpret prophecy and we think they are
  1238. 54:28right.
  1239. 54:33The king makes a comment but it's not
  1240. 54:36true. Will you believe? Oh, but he's the
  1241. 54:38truth. How can he be wrong? No, he can
  1242. 54:40be wrong because he's not walking with
  1243. 54:43God. When people make comments on the
  1244. 54:45word of God and prophecy and they don't
  1245. 54:48exhibit love or scripture, are you
  1246. 54:51listening? Why are you taking it as a
  1247. 54:53value?
  1248. 54:57If you can't even drive and you don't
  1249. 54:59have a license, why are you telling me
  1250. 55:01how I should drive?
  1251. 55:04>> The problem with us is we listen to all
  1252. 55:05the non-qualified people.
  1253. 55:10The non-qualified people are teaching me
  1254. 55:12how to preach. Hello. Hey, listen. I'm
  1255. 55:15qualified. You're not qualified. What
  1256. 55:17are you telling me?
  1257. 55:20The problem is we are listening to
  1258. 55:22everybody.
  1259. 55:24In fact, do you know the patient is more
  1260. 55:27informed of a procedure than the
  1261. 55:29doctors?
  1262. 55:30Before you go, you already checked the
  1263. 55:32Google, you saw the videos, they got a
  1264. 55:34robotics. Doctor, are you going to wear
  1265. 55:35your mask? Are you are you know all the
  1266. 55:38medication by heart and if you are a
  1267. 55:40medical student, the doctor really don't
  1268. 55:42have to do anything. What's next?
  1269. 55:45[snorts] Okay. Yeah, you're right.
  1270. 55:47You really know pre what you don't know
  1271. 55:49is the pain that is going to cause you.
  1272. 55:52You still have to go through that fear.
  1273. 55:54You still have to take off your clothes
  1274. 55:55and put on the surgical clothes. Look at
  1275. 55:57the giant light. Your heart is pumping
  1276. 56:00because knowledge is going to help you.
  1277. 56:01It's not.
  1278. 56:03You still have to go through the road to
  1279. 56:06recovery. Hello. Yes,
  1280. 56:08>> I can prepare you. But you still have to
  1281. 56:11go through those anxious moment.
  1282. 56:15>> When it's your turn, go through it and
  1283. 56:18come out in the name of Jesus. Somebody
  1284. 56:20say
  1285. 56:21>> don't give in.
  1286. 56:24Don't wrongly interpret prophecy when in
  1287. 56:27these end times all those are going to
  1288. 56:30happen. And that's what the Lord was
  1289. 56:32showing me. It is going to happen. You
  1290. 56:34need to stand strong for God.
  1291. 56:37Mica
  1292. 56:39or Micaiah prophesied. Listen guys, one
  1293. 56:43vers 400.
  1294. 56:46One guy said, "You're going to lost this
  1295. 56:48battle. You will not come back alive if
  1296. 56:51you go." The 400 says, "God will give
  1297. 56:55you the victory. Go and come back." The
  1298. 57:00king has to make a choice.
  1299. 57:02What did the king do?
  1300. 57:06throw him into prison. Of course, he got
  1301. 57:07angry. Already has an opinion.
  1302. 57:12Are you ready for what the Lord told me?
  1303. 57:14Now,
  1304. 57:16>> he said false prophets are going to
  1305. 57:17multiply
  1306. 57:20everywhere.
  1307. 57:23Sadly, today in YouTube, we are calling
  1308. 57:25influencers as prophets.
  1309. 57:28You know, look at the views, you know,
  1310. 57:30they are saying about the Bible. Anybody
  1311. 57:32can read the Bible and give an opinion.
  1312. 57:35But if they don't carry a license, then
  1313. 57:37they are not sent by God.
  1314. 57:42You're just listening to popular
  1315. 57:44teachings
  1316. 57:46because we are
  1317. 57:48built the system on popularity.
  1318. 57:53There could be down there somewhere
  1319. 57:57in a small town a preacher who's still
  1320. 57:59preaching the truth.
  1321. 58:01Nobody knows him. Heaven has registered
  1322. 58:04his name. Are you with me? Who would you
  1323. 58:07want to be? The Lord said false prophets
  1324. 58:10are going to multiply. They will
  1325. 58:13infiltrate the church. They will be
  1326. 58:15confrontative. They will cause chaos and
  1327. 58:18divide. Make a stand.
  1328. 58:23There is no credibility or
  1329. 58:24accountability. They can go beyond
  1330. 58:26correction and self-righteousness. Make
  1331. 58:28a stand.
  1332. 58:30God is training us like the prophet
  1333. 58:33Micaiah. Even though you could be the
  1334. 58:35last one, remain standing
  1335. 58:38for the truth that I've given to you.
  1336. 58:44There are three two things I've already
  1337. 58:46said. Number one, dealing with hatred.
  1338. 58:49Number two,
  1339. 58:51dealing with wrong prophecies. Just
  1340. 58:54because some, oh no, no, I don't think
  1341. 58:56so. Who is this? I don't think so. Why
  1342. 58:58is that your opinion matters? Now,
  1343. 59:00hello.
  1344. 59:05The third thing I want to finish by
  1345. 59:07saying this passage is not an easy
  1346. 59:09passage.
  1347. 59:11These are what we call the intrigues of
  1348. 59:13demonic spirits how they work. And God
  1349. 59:16is teaching us and training us. Somebody
  1350. 59:18say
  1351. 59:21>> this is not your beyond John 3:16, bro.
  1352. 59:24We are teaching and training to mature
  1353. 59:27our hearts not to please our soul.
  1354. 59:31The third thing in verse 22 look at
  1355. 59:33first kings 22 verse 22.
  1356. 59:38Now verse 19 just for the sake of verse
  1357. 59:4119.
  1358. 59:42And Micaiah said therefore hear the word
  1359. 59:45of the Lord.
  1360. 59:47I saw the Lord sitting on his throne
  1361. 59:50and all the host of heaven standing
  1362. 59:52beside him on his right hand and on his
  1363. 59:55left. And the Lord said, "Who will
  1364. 59:57entice Ahab that he may go and fall at
  1365. 1:00:01Ramos Gilead?"
  1366. 1:00:05And one said one thing and another said
  1367. 1:00:07another. Then a spirit came forward,
  1368. 1:00:11stood before the Lord, saying, I will
  1369. 1:00:13entice him.
  1370. 1:00:17Verse 22. And the Lord said to him,
  1371. 1:00:20which is to the spirit by what means?
  1372. 1:00:23And he said, I will go out and become or
  1373. 1:00:25will be the lying spirit in the mouth of
  1374. 1:00:28all his prophets. Are you now listening?
  1375. 1:00:31Now, do you know how the 400 people
  1376. 1:00:33spoke?
  1377. 1:00:34>> God revealed to us.
  1378. 1:00:36It was a lying spirit that was operating
  1379. 1:00:39through them.
  1380. 1:00:41That spirit will go and deceive this
  1381. 1:00:43prophet, this king.
  1382. 1:00:45How did he know? How did Micaiah know?
  1383. 1:00:49When he saw the Lord sitting on the
  1384. 1:00:50throne, when he had an encounter with
  1385. 1:00:53God, when he prayed about this matter,
  1386. 1:00:56the Lord opened his eyes and saw how the
  1387. 1:00:59400 prophets were operating. You are
  1388. 1:01:01operating by the spirit of God. Fear not
  1389. 1:01:05my brother and sister.
  1390. 1:01:08You need to follow the man and the woman
  1391. 1:01:09of God. Being in a company of people who
  1392. 1:01:11follow Jesus.
  1393. 1:01:14Are we sinless? No, we are not. Are we
  1394. 1:01:16perfect? No, we are not. But we are
  1395. 1:01:18willing to stand for the truth and keep
  1396. 1:01:19going forward.
  1397. 1:01:21The lying spirit that will come.
  1398. 1:01:25And so the last one I want to tackle is
  1399. 1:01:28about this lying spirit.
  1400. 1:01:31Why must the lying spirit come? Because
  1401. 1:01:33it will tackle the truth that you have.
  1402. 1:01:37A lying spirit has no powers.
  1403. 1:01:40God allows to expose liars, betrayals,
  1404. 1:01:44and false brethren. That's what lying
  1405. 1:01:46spirit will do.
  1406. 1:01:49All lying spirit will be exposed.
  1407. 1:01:53A lie will never be kept in secret
  1408. 1:01:56because the Bible says Jesus promised
  1409. 1:01:58everything that is done in the dark will
  1410. 1:02:00be exposed. Do you believe that?
  1411. 1:02:05>> You know what Ahab did?
  1412. 1:02:10>> Listen, how many of you are still
  1413. 1:02:11listening?
  1414. 1:02:12>> Yeah.
  1415. 1:02:14>> 400 prophets that he liked,
  1416. 1:02:17they said you will be alive.
  1417. 1:02:21One prophet Micaiah, he hates him.
  1418. 1:02:25But somehow he knew he's speaking by the
  1419. 1:02:28spirit of God. How do I know that?
  1420. 1:02:32When he went for the battle, he
  1421. 1:02:34disguised himself. Bro, if you are a
  1422. 1:02:37king, you are believing what the 400
  1423. 1:02:38fells do. Why are you disguising?
  1424. 1:02:41>> You will win the game.
  1425. 1:02:44>> He disguised himself.
  1426. 1:02:46Jehoshaphat went to fight.
  1427. 1:02:50They found out this is not the king of
  1428. 1:02:52Israel. He's not Ahab. He's Jehoshaphat.
  1429. 1:02:55They let him go and the pursued king of
  1430. 1:02:58Ahab when Heab was actually turning back
  1431. 1:03:00and running away. They speared him to
  1432. 1:03:02death and he died in the battle.
  1433. 1:03:06Everyone who disguises themselves will
  1434. 1:03:08be found out and God will deal with
  1435. 1:03:10them. Yes.
  1436. 1:03:16>> Do you know after this story there is
  1437. 1:03:18nothing said about prophet Micaiah at
  1438. 1:03:20all. Why? He just became another
  1439. 1:03:24ordinary Joe serving God without
  1440. 1:03:26recognition.
  1441. 1:03:29All of us will have seasons in your
  1442. 1:03:31life.
  1443. 1:03:32seasons when God's light will shine on
  1444. 1:03:34you where you can speak the word and on
  1445. 1:03:37when the season is over you're actually
  1446. 1:03:39raising other people up you'll be back
  1447. 1:03:41in the background does it bother you oh
  1448. 1:03:44you know what I used to stand in front
  1449. 1:03:46of all the lights listen guys this is
  1450. 1:03:48not expensive order Amazon fix it in

  1454. 1:03:58know how difficult it is to stand a

  1456. 1:04:03stand 10 minutes you won't know what to
  1457. 1:04:05say.
  1458. 1:04:07It's not oretary skills. IS THE HAND OF
  1459. 1:04:10GOD THAT MUST be on you.
  1460. 1:04:14>> It is not memorizing.
  1461. 1:04:16>> I don't memorize anything. I can hardly
  1462. 1:04:20even memorize one verse. I don't.
  1463. 1:04:23>> I read. I open up.
  1464. 1:04:27But when the spirit of God comes on you,
  1465. 1:04:32When the spirit of God comes on you, how
  1466. 1:04:35do we want to find out in the end time
  1467. 1:04:38where the lying spirit is opening? Pray.
  1468. 1:04:41The spirit of God will reveal.
  1469. 1:04:44Stand for the truth. And when you know
  1470. 1:04:46the truth, stand with your brethren
  1471. 1:04:49because falsehood will always stand
  1472. 1:04:51together. Truth is always divided. Isn't
  1473. 1:04:55that the stupid thing to do? Absolutely.
  1474. 1:04:58When the church is divided, false
  1475. 1:05:00spirits will operate. When the church is
  1476. 1:05:03together, all the demonic spirits will
  1477. 1:05:05stand out. We tried, we tried to lie,
  1478. 1:05:08but we just can't penetrate because the
  1479. 1:05:11truth is greater than the lie.
  1480. 1:05:14>> And that's what Jesus said. He that is
  1481. 1:05:16in you is greater than he that is in
  1482. 1:05:20this world.
  1483. 1:05:21>> How many years of my life I got to
  1484. 1:05:23speak, Lord, the truth that is in me is
  1485. 1:05:25greater. The holiness that is in me is
  1486. 1:05:28greater than the lust that is out there
  1487. 1:05:30in the world. The power of God that is
  1488. 1:05:32in me is greater than the falsehood that
  1489. 1:05:35is there in the world. God, I can't see
  1490. 1:05:38you. I can see the demons, but you in me
  1491. 1:05:40is greater than he that is in this
  1492. 1:05:43world. The righteousness of God in me is
  1493. 1:05:46greater than the unrighteousness that is
  1494. 1:05:48challenging me. I'm still a work in
  1495. 1:05:51progress, but you are complete in me
  1496. 1:05:54while I'm incomplete without you. Are
  1497. 1:05:56you with me, bro? You are like a mad guy
  1498. 1:05:58speaking to yourself and building up
  1499. 1:06:00your inner man, being alone and flexing
  1500. 1:06:03your muscle until you are ready for the
  1501. 1:06:06show that take place.
  1502. 1:06:07>> It takes time to grow. It takes time to
  1503. 1:06:11love one another.
  1504. 1:06:13It takes time to stand for the truth
  1505. 1:06:17God is exposing. It can be alone. You
  1506. 1:06:20can be the only one, but he got to make
  1507. 1:06:23a stand.
