00:15:50.800 --> 00:18:35.430 second second chronicles chapter 24 chapter 24 joash was seven years old when he began to reign 00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:42.550 and he reigned 40 years in jerusalem his mother's name also was zibia of firshiba and joash did was 00:18:42.550 --> 00:18:48.520 that which was right in the sight of the lord all the days of jehoiada the priest and jehoiada took 00:18:48.520 --> 00:18:56.260 for him two wives and begat sons and daughters and he came to pass after this that joash was 00:18:56.260 --> 00:19:01.340 minded to repair the house of the lord and he gathered together the priests and levites and 00:19:01.340 --> 00:19:08.990 said to them go out under the cities of juda and gather of all israel money to repair the house 00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:16.170 of your god from year to year and see that he hastened the matter albeit the levites hastened 00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:23.910 it not and the king called for jehoiada the chief and said unto him why is thou not required of the 00:19:23.910 --> 00:19:30.120 levites to bring in out of juda and out of jerusalem the collection according to the 00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:35.940 commandment of moses the servant of the lord and of the congregation of israel for the tabernacle 00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:45.430 of witness for the sons of ethalia that wicked woman had broken up the house of god and also 00:19:45.430 --> 00:19:53.020 all the dedicated things of the house of the lord did they bestow unto baleam and at the king's 00:19:53.020 --> 00:19:59.830 commandment they made a chest and set it without at the gate of the house of the lord and they 00:19:59.830 --> 00:20:06.830 made a proclamation throughout juda and jerusalem to bring in to the lord the collection that moses 00:20:06.830 --> 00:20:13.890 the servant of god laid upon israel in the wilderness and all the princes and all the people 00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:22.770 rejoiced brought in and cast into the chest until they had made an end now it came to pass that at 00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:29.700 what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the levites and when they 00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:36.390 saw that there was much money the king's scribe and the high priest officer came and emptied the 00:20:36.390 --> 00:20:43.690 chest and took it and carried it to his to his place again thus they did day by day and gathered 00:20:43.690 --> 00:20:51.800 money in abundance and the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the 00:20:51.800 --> 00:20:59.100 house of the lord and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the lord and also such as 00:20:59.100 --> 00:21:05.140 wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the lord so the work been wrought and the work was 00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:12.590 perfected by them and they set the house of god in his state and strengthened it and when they had 00:21:12.590 --> 00:21:19.580 finished it they brought the rest of the money before the king and jehoiada whereof they were 00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:26.300 they made vessels for the house of the lord even vessels to minister and to offer with all and 00:21:26.300 --> 00:21:32.190 spoons and vessels of gold and silver and they offered burnt offerings in the house of the lord 00:21:32.190 --> 00:21:40.610 continually all the days of jehoiada but jehoiada wax old and was full of days when he died and 00:21:40.610 --> 00:21:48.000 130 years old when he he was he when he died and they buried him in the city of david among the 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:55.690 kings because he had done good in israel both toward god and toward his house now after the 00:21:55.690 --> 00:22:02.890 death of jehoiada came the princes of juda and made obeisance to the king then the king harkened 00:22:02.890 --> 00:22:08.840 unto them and they left the house of the lord god of their fathers and served groves and idols 00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:16.040 and wrath came upon juda and jerusalem for this their trespass yet he sent prophets to them to 00:22:16.040 --> 00:22:23.470 bring them again unto the lord and they testified against them but they would not give ear and the 00:22:23.470 --> 00:22:30.940 spirit of god came upon zechariah the son of jehoiada the priest which stood above the people 00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:38.100 and said unto them thus saith god why transgress ye the commandments of the lord that ye cannot 00:22:38.100 --> 00:22:46.970 prosper because ye have forsaken the lord he has also forsaken you and they conspired against him 00:22:46.970 --> 00:22:52.020 and stoned him with stones of the commandment of the king in the court of the lord of the house 00:22:52.020 --> 00:22:59.140 of the lord thus joash the king remembered not the kindness which jehoiada his father had done to him 00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:07.640 but slew his son and when he died he said the lord look upon it and require it and it came to pass 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:14.810 at the end of the year that the host of syria came up against him and they came to juda and 00:23:14.810 --> 00:23:20.470 jerusalem and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people and sent all the 00:23:20.470 --> 00:23:28.770 spoil of them unto the king of damascus for the army of the syrians came with a small company of 00:23:28.770 --> 00:23:36.640 men and the lord delivered a very great host into their hand because they had forsaken the lord god 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:44.760 of their hope of their fathers so they executed judgment against joash and when they were departed 00:23:44.760 --> 00:23:52.020 from him for they left him in great diseases his own servants conspired against him for the blood 00:23:52.020 --> 00:23:59.240 of the sons of jehoiada the priest and slew him on his bed and he died and they buried him in the 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:06.140 city of david but they buried him not in the sepulchers of the king and these are they that 00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:16.480 conspired against him zebad the son of shimeath and amanitess and jehozabad the son of shimiroth 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:23.500 amoavitis now concerning his sons and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him in the repairing of 00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:30.780 the house of god behold they are written in the story of the book of the kings and amaziah his 00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:37.630 son reigned and instead let's pray 00:24:37.630 --> 00:24:55.010 amen second chronicles 24 look at verse 20 the bible says in the spirit of god came upon 00:24:55.010 --> 00:25:02.240 zechariah the son of jehoiada the priest which stood above the people and said unto them thus 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:11.500 saith god why transgress ye the commandments of the lord notice this phrase that ye cannot prosper 00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:20.220 because you have forsaken the lord he hath also forsaken you the title my sermon is ye cannot 00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:26.630 prosper those are some scary words right there from the man of god saying why have you forsaken 00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:33.900 god why have you broken his commandments that you cannot prosper that's a bad place to be in your 00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:38.520 life and to give us some context of how it gets to this point this is going to be one of those 00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:42.420 sermons a long introduction because we got to really understand this chapter all right go back 00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:47.520 if you would to verse number one this was the time of the king of the kingdom of judas history 00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:53.410 where joe ash was king notice verse one it says joe ash was seven years old when he began to reign 00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:59.760 and he reigned 40 years in jerusalem his mother's name also was the bayah of birshiba and joe ash 00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:07.860 did that which was right in the sight of the lord all the days of jehoiada the priest so notice joe 00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:14.090 ash his kingdom was mostly good and you would think you know a person starting you know a 00:26:14.090 --> 00:26:19.370 kingdom as a child they're going to need someone to look to for leadership but you don't want to 00:26:19.370 --> 00:26:24.080 be a person to where you just for the rest of your life you can only do that which is right when 00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:28.220 someone's holding your hand when someone's telling you exactly which decision to make 00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:34.440 all the time every day every decision but you know while Jehoiada the priest was in the life 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:40.180 of Joash he was making the right decisions and he was doing that which was right in the side of the 00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:45.360 Lord and as a result he was blessed okay look at some of the things he was doing it says in verse 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:51.840 number four and it came to pass after this that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord 00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:56.790 now that's a good thing to do right sounds like this is a spiritually minded person he cares about 00:26:56.790 --> 00:27:01.790 the house of God he says hey it's my kingdom I make the rules here's what we should do let's 00:27:01.790 --> 00:27:05.650 go repair the house of the Lord that's a great thing to do right look at verse five and he 00:27:05.650 --> 00:27:10.960 gathered together the priests and the Levites and said unto them go out unto the cities of Judah 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.550 and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year 00:27:15.550 --> 00:27:21.010 and see that she hastened the matter how be it the Levites hastened it not and the king called 00:27:21.010 --> 00:27:26.010 for Jehoiada the chief and said unto him why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring 00:27:26.010 --> 00:27:32.120 in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection notice according to the commandment of Moses the 00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:38.560 servant of the Lord and of the congregation of Israel for the tabernacle of witness for the 00:27:38.560 --> 00:27:44.320 sons of Athaliah that wicked woman had broken up the house of God and also all the dedicated 00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:49.850 things of the house of the Lord did they bestow upon Balaam he's saying look I'm sending these 00:27:49.850 --> 00:27:56.580 Levites out with haste I want to get this job done I want to fix God's house because God's house 00:27:56.580 --> 00:28:03.030 has been desecrated by this wicked woman Athaliah and they've broken down God's house they've just 00:28:03.030 --> 00:28:07.410 desecrated the things that are for service and he is kind of getting mad here and he's getting 00:28:07.410 --> 00:28:12.750 mad for a righteous cause because he says hey why have you not done this he says according to the 00:28:12.750 --> 00:28:18.730 commandment of Moses the servant of the Lord you know you know that you have a righteous anger 00:28:18.730 --> 00:28:24.300 when you're looking at a situation and you're saying like why are you not following the Bible 00:28:24.300 --> 00:28:30.770 why are you not listening to Moses why are you not doing what the Bible says this is a righteous guy 00:28:30.770 --> 00:28:35.160 so far right I mean he's getting mad about the right things he's got a heart for the house of 00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:39.630 God he wants things fixed but that's not where the story ends unfortunately because let's keep 00:28:39.630 --> 00:28:44.310 reading verse 11 it says now it came to pass at what time the chest was brought unto the king's 00:28:44.310 --> 00:28:49.810 office by the hand of the levites when they saw that there was much money the king's scribe and 00:28:49.810 --> 00:28:55.020 the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest and took it and carried it to his place again 00:28:55.020 --> 00:29:00.630 thus they did day by day and gathered money money in abundance and the king and Jehoiada gave it to 00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:06.550 such as did the work of the service of the house of the lord and hired masons and carpenters to 00:29:06.550 --> 00:29:12.710 repair the house of the lord and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the 00:29:12.710 --> 00:29:18.130 lord so here's another good thing another positive thing so far that king joash is doing is hey he's 00:29:18.130 --> 00:29:23.390 being blessed financially and he's using the finances that god has blessed him with for what 00:29:23.390 --> 00:29:29.290 the work of the lord he says hey we need these masons we need these carpenters we need these 00:29:29.290 --> 00:29:35.110 hewers of stone let's take this money and let's invest it into the work of god into the house of 00:29:35.110 --> 00:29:40.990 god and notice he's actually paying his workers that's good right look at verse 13 so the workman 00:29:40.990 --> 00:29:45.290 wrought and the work was perfected by them and they set the house of god in his state and 00:29:45.290 --> 00:29:49.170 strengthened it when they had finished it they brought the rest of the money before the king 00:29:49.170 --> 00:29:53.850 and jehoiada whereof were made vessels for the house of the lord even vessels to minister and 00:29:53.850 --> 00:29:58.620 to offer with all and spoons and vessels of gold and silver and they offered burnt offerings and 00:29:58.620 --> 00:30:04.890 the house of the lord continually all the days of jehoiada so notice he's taking the money for the 00:30:04.890 --> 00:30:10.470 house of god and he's spending it to hire workers for god's house to work in god's house and you 00:30:10.470 --> 00:30:16.120 know anything else he's like hey let's buy vessels for what for the use of the service of god right 00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:21.700 so this is not some covetous person where he's stealing money where he's not feeding the flock 00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:26.770 and he's just this greedy person that's just interested in feeding himself and not actually 00:30:26.770 --> 00:30:32.210 blessing god's people and not actually blessing the work of god right he's using it responsibly 00:30:32.210 --> 00:30:38.120 here and notice how the bible said that he did this all the days of jehoiada right so there's 00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:47.480 a long period of time there's decades and decades where joash is doing right where joash is a good 00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:55.190 king where he is pleasing in the sight of god look at verse 15 but jehoiada waxed old and was 00:30:55.190 --> 00:31:01.970 full of days when he died in 130 years old was he when he died and they buried him in the city 00:31:01.970 --> 00:31:07.220 of david among the kings because he had done good in israel both toward god and toward his house 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:16.560 now after the death of jehoiada came the princes of juda and made obeisance to the king then the king 00:31:16.560 --> 00:31:23.970 hearkened unto them so notice he's been following a good leader his whole life but that leader gets 00:31:23.970 --> 00:31:29.980 old that leader dies and that leader is out of the picture for joash and you would think all right 00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:35.950 joash you've had enough training you're a man of god you're a king you've got the lord on your side 00:31:35.950 --> 00:31:41.210 hey you can make the right decisions now you could lead you could set the example but notice what he 00:31:41.210 --> 00:31:46.740 does the princes come they make obeisance to him and he what's the exact wording the bible gives 00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:55.820 there then the king hearkened unto them that's weird why is the king hearkening unto the princes 00:31:55.820 --> 00:32:01.360 why isn't the king getting up and setting the standard making the rules doing that which is 00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:06.040 right and make it to where other people are doing that which is right because they're following you 00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:11.490 not you're just doing right because you're following other people verse 18 and they left 00:32:11.490 --> 00:32:16.600 the house of the lord god of their fathers notice and served groves and idol i mean just like that 00:32:16.600 --> 00:32:21.870 he follows someone else he stops following jehoiada and what does it say just boom they left the house 00:32:21.870 --> 00:32:28.900 of god just they're serving groves and idol just immediately as soon as it happens verse 19 yet he 00:32:28.900 --> 00:32:35.330 sent prophets to them to bring them again unto the lord and they testified against them but they would 00:32:35.330 --> 00:32:41.000 not give ear this is frustrating to read i don't know if you feel the same way like why are we not 00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:46.160 in ecclesiastes is because i read this on my lunch break and i got mad because it's just like 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:53.260 why are people like this verse 20 and the spirit of god came upon zechariah the son of jehoiada 00:32:53.260 --> 00:32:58.540 right so this is the son of the man that he was following doing right the spirit of god comes upon 00:32:58.540 --> 00:33:03.060 zechariah the son of jehoiada the priest which stood above the people and said unto them thus 00:33:03.060 --> 00:33:11.690 saith god why transgress ye the commandments of the lord that ye cannot prosper because 00:33:11.690 --> 00:33:19.550 ye have forsaken the lord he hath also forsaken you crazy to think about a man doing right for 00:33:19.550 --> 00:33:25.820 decades a man who is the king a man who is doing that which is right in the sight of the lord 00:33:25.820 --> 00:33:30.730 and just like that he's in a situation where the man of god gets up with the inspiration of the 00:33:30.730 --> 00:33:37.330 spirit of god and says why are you doing this now you can't prosper that's blackpilling right there 00:33:37.330 --> 00:33:42.780 that's a message of doom that's a message that is negative coming at him saying like hey you can't 00:33:42.780 --> 00:33:48.940 prosper because you know what there's some things that if we do in our lives we will not be able to 00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:53.830 prosper there are some things that you and i could do and it doesn't matter if you've been serving 00:33:53.830 --> 00:34:00.040 god for decades and decades whether you've been doing that which is right in the lord you know 00:34:00.040 --> 00:34:04.740 all the days of your life so far that could change that could change and you can get to a point 00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:08.330 where you cannot prosper how's the rest of the story go look at verse 21 it says 00:34:08.330 --> 00:34:12.490 and they conspired against him and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the 00:34:12.490 --> 00:34:17.320 king in the court of the house of the lord thus joash the king remembered not the kindness which 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:24.610 johoedah his father had done to him but slew his son and when he died he said the lord look upon it 00:34:24.610 --> 00:34:31.100 and require it so what happens he gets corrected by a man of god because he's in sin because he's 00:34:31.100 --> 00:34:36.930 doing that which is you know evil and what does he do he attacks the man of god he kills the man 00:34:36.930 --> 00:34:42.780 of god he stones the man of god and the man of god says hey the lord look on this and require it 00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:49.480 then what happens is the syrians come and destroy jerusalem and kill all the princes that joash 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:54.720 wanted to listen to and love to hearken unto so much verse 23 and it came to pass at the end of 00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:58.850 the year that the host of syria came up against him and they came to juda and jerusalem and 00:34:58.850 --> 00:35:05.420 destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people and sent all the spoil of them unto 00:35:05.420 --> 00:35:10.410 the king of damascus for the army of the syrians came with a small company of men and the lord 00:35:10.410 --> 00:35:15.890 delivered a very great host into their hand because they had forsaken the lord god of their 00:35:15.890 --> 00:35:21.290 fathers so they executed judgment against joash notice the syrians came with this little itty 00:35:21.290 --> 00:35:26.700 bitty tiny army and i'm sure the people in jerusalem felt like they were safe because they had a big 00:35:26.700 --> 00:35:32.280 host but when god is delivering you up it doesn't matter the size of the army coming against you 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:38.480 it doesn't matter the size of the army that you have if god is against you you are doomed if you're 00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:44.810 in a situation where you cannot prosper guess what you cannot prosper verse 25 then notice his 00:35:44.810 --> 00:35:50.570 end and when they were departed from him for they left him in great diseases his own servants 00:35:50.570 --> 00:35:56.100 conspired against him for the blood of the sons of jehoiah the priest and slew him on his bed 00:35:56.100 --> 00:36:02.640 and he died and they buried him in the city of david but they buried him not in the sepulchers 00:36:02.640 --> 00:36:09.680 of the kings what a story that is in our bible and it's like hey it did not have to be this way 00:36:09.680 --> 00:36:16.360 joash's life did not have to be this way he had so much going for him he was doing that which was 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.930 right he was pleasing in the sight of god but notice he did some things in his life to where 00:36:21.930 --> 00:36:27.510 he could not prosper he got a bunch of people killed he brought the judgment of god down on his 00:36:27.510 --> 00:36:33.760 nation down on his kingdom and he ends up getting murdered by his own servants the end what a happy 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.530 story right you know people want to act like the bible is just all so positive there's some gnarly 00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:41.800 stuff in the bible there's some gnarly stories in the bible and you know what this is one of them 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:48.220 but you know i read this story not to say haha joash look at joash it's like hey let that not be us 00:36:49.090 --> 00:36:55.410 we should be scared to death that we could ever get to a point in our life where a man of god or 00:36:55.410 --> 00:37:01.820 the lord is looking at us and just saying you cannot prosper you are doomed the judgment of 00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:07.240 god is coming upon you you should be terrified of coming to that place in your life and i think 00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:13.680 there's five things here that we can learn that joash made the mistake of going into that led him 00:37:13.680 --> 00:37:20.380 to a point where he just cannot prosper number one you cannot prosper when you follow wicked people 00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:27.580 you cannot prosper when you follow wicked people second chronicles 24 look at verse 15 and keep 00:37:27.580 --> 00:37:31.530 your place here throughout the sermon the bible says but johoita waxed old and was full of days 00:37:31.530 --> 00:37:36.930 when he died in 130 years old was he when he died they buried him in the city of david among the 00:37:36.930 --> 00:37:42.260 kings because he had done good in israel both toward god and toward his house now after the 00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:49.040 death of johoita came the princes of juda and made obeisance to the king then the king harkened unto 00:37:49.040 --> 00:37:55.150 them so what has he done he's changed who he is allowing to influence him now he's the king he 00:37:55.150 --> 00:38:00.600 shouldn't be you know allowing himself to be influenced by his subordinates by the princes 00:38:00.600 --> 00:38:05.910 but you know what that's what he's doing he's allowing people to influence him and what did 00:38:05.910 --> 00:38:09.720 they influence him to do because notice it says he harkened unto them so he listened to them 00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:15.390 he did what they told him to do and what immediately happens and they left the house of the lord god of 00:38:15.390 --> 00:38:22.660 their fathers and served groves and idols and wrath came upon judah and jerusalem for their 00:38:22.660 --> 00:38:30.720 trespass if you in your life allow yourself to be influenced by wicked people you will go down a 00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:36.880 bad path it's just how it works and sometimes people want to constantly just ignore the red 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:43.490 flags ignore the terrible sermons being preached ignore the major sins ignore the cover-up ignore 00:38:43.490 --> 00:38:48.740 all these things but i'm telling you if you follow wicked people you will come to a point in your 00:38:48.740 --> 00:38:55.960 life where you cannot prosper that is the truth go to proverbs chapter number 13 proverbs chapter 00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:04.850 number 13 who you allow to influence you it's not neutral in your life it's going to have a massive 00:39:04.850 --> 00:39:13.580 influence on your life proverbs 13 verse 20 says this he that walketh with wise men shall be wise 00:39:13.580 --> 00:39:20.190 but a companion of fools here it is shall be destroyed now what happened to joash he was 00:39:20.190 --> 00:39:27.160 destroyed literally his kingdom was destroyed what does that tell us hey you need to get around 00:39:27.160 --> 00:39:32.700 wise people what is someone that is wise well the bible says that the fear of the lord is the 00:39:32.700 --> 00:39:37.620 beginning of knowledge right so hey why don't you get around some people that actually fear god 00:39:37.620 --> 00:39:43.230 that's a good place to start why don't you go to a church where the bible is actually being preached 00:39:43.230 --> 00:39:47.490 where it's not the pastor's opinion that's constantly going to be preached 00:39:47.490 --> 00:39:53.610 not his constant feminist stupid ideologies that are going to be preached but actually the bible 00:39:53.610 --> 00:39:57.990 hey when you're when you're friends with those that are wise you'll be wise but if you are a 00:39:57.990 --> 00:40:03.450 companion of fools you will be destroyed let me show you an example of this go to numbers chapter 00:40:03.450 --> 00:40:16.860 16 numbers chapter 16 numbers chapter number 16 look at verse 23 it says this and the lord spake 00:40:16.860 --> 00:40:23.300 unto moses saying speak under the congregation saying get you up from about the tabernacle of 00:40:23.300 --> 00:40:29.220 korah dathan and abiram and moses rose up and went unto dathan and abiram and the elders of israel 00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:35.620 followed him and he spake under the congregation saying notice depart i pray you from the tents of 00:40:35.620 --> 00:40:43.030 these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs lest ye be consumed in all their sins some people 00:40:43.030 --> 00:40:47.490 think like hey you know it doesn't matter who i hang out with doesn't matter who i fellowship with 00:40:47.490 --> 00:40:51.960 doesn't matter who i allow to influence me you know i'm not going to go down the road that bad 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:56.830 road i'm not going to fall into sin hey even if my buddy is living a super wicked life doesn't mean 00:40:56.830 --> 00:41:02.890 that i have to okay but what happens when god judges your buddy that you're close to judges your 00:41:02.890 --> 00:41:08.310 church that you're in judges your family that's super wicked and you're there guess what you could 00:41:08.310 --> 00:41:14.910 be collateral damage and god says hey don't oh just don't listen to these guys oh you know just 00:41:14.910 --> 00:41:21.060 don't be close friends with them he says get

have been stealing over a hundred thousand dollars 00:42:21.200 --> 00:42:26.260 from their missionary pastor stuckey a guy who is turning the world upside down with the gospel 00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:31.430 who's getting tens of thousands of people saved who's doing a great work for god and it's been 00:42:31.430 --> 00:42:37.400 you know promoted to us and to donors hey you know we're

squalor over there in the philippines while we're being told hey this is going to the philippines 00:42:48.980 --> 00:42:53.730 it wasn't going to philippines that's wicked folks you'd want to get away from something like 00:42:53.730 --> 00:42:59.710 that you know i'd be wanting to get away from a church where the pastor has to step down for 00:42:59.710 --> 00:43:06.140 some sort of sexual sin where multiple witnesses have stated that he knew that he should have 00:43:06.140 --> 00:43:14.030 stepped down in january of 2025. I'd want to get away from a church where i've been listening to 00:43:14.030 --> 00:43:20.430 terrible preaching, bad influence, bad doctrine, bad sermons for over a year and there's been no 00:43:20.430 --> 00:43:26.280 repentance for it, there's been no deleting of his sermons, there's been no standing up saying hey 00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:31.930 this was bad, this was terrible, we need to move on. No no no you got pizarnsky who gets up and 00:43:31.930 --> 00:43:35.910 says hey sorry for the week you guys have had it's been such a bad week now that you've lost your 00:43:35.910 --> 00:43:39.740 pastor i got something really important i need to tell you guys though before we get into the sermon 00:43:39.740 --> 00:43:44.600 and that is that Roger Jimenez is my friend he continues to be my friend turn to Matthew chapter 00:43:44.600 --> 00:43:51.520 seven that that was his message that is pathetic leadership right there that is pathetic leadership 00:43:51.520 --> 00:43:58.250 Jared pizarnsky is a coward he is a weakling and you know what he is not a man worth following 00:43:58.250 --> 00:44:02.680 and you know what i could already told you that because of the feminist crap that he was preaching 00:44:02.680 --> 00:44:07.240 last year getting up saying she could leave and you know what pastor menace was preaching really 00:44:07.240 --> 00:44:13.690 similar stuff pisses me off folks i'd want to get away from a church that has spent the last year 00:44:13.690 --> 00:44:22.880 slandering and attacking good men of god that did nothing to them nothing but support them and 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:28.800 love them and bless them and speak good of them and then the pastor wants to get up while he's 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:35.620 involved in a moral sin and call us low character you know vile trashy all this stuff you know get 00:44:35.620 --> 00:44:46.500 the hell away from a place like that that obviously has no fear of god look at verse 28 and moses said 00:44:46.500 --> 00:44:51.390 hereby ye shall know that the lord hath sent me to do all these works for i have not done them of 00:44:51.390 --> 00:44:57.140 mine own mind if these men die the common death of all men or if they be visited after the 00:44:57.140 --> 00:45:01.990 visitation of all men then the lord hath not sent me but if the lord make a new thing and the earth 00:45:01.990 --> 00:45:07.720 open her mouth and swallow them up with all that appertain unto them and they go down quick into 00:45:07.720 --> 00:45:12.990 the pit then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the lord you know sometimes it's very 00:45:12.990 --> 00:45:21.360 obvious when god is judging sometimes it's just super clear he that has eyes to see let him see 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:25.530 that god is judging it's like here's a good you know indication that god is judging when the earth 00:45:25.530 --> 00:45:30.030 opens up and people fall alive into hell right that's a pretty good indication these people 00:45:30.030 --> 00:45:35.440 aren't saved okay verse 31 and it came to pass as he made an end of all of speaking all these words 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:39.960 that the ground play of a sunder that was under them and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed 00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:44.210 them up in their houses and all the men that appertained unto korah and all their goods 00:45:44.210 --> 00:45:50.080 they and all that appertained to them went down alive into the pit and the earth closed upon them 00:45:50.080 --> 00:45:55.780 they perished from among the congregation now look i don't think that i don't think for one 00:45:55.780 --> 00:46:00.110 second that roger jimenez is unsafe like korah dayton and abiram i don't think that for one 00:46:00.110 --> 00:46:05.450 second you know i don't think even you know pizarnsky and leadership and people involved with this 00:46:05.450 --> 00:46:10.530 i don't think for one second that these people are unsaved individuals but i show you this story to 00:46:10.530 --> 00:46:17.290 teach you this principle that you want to be far far away from people whom god is judging and you 00:46:17.290 --> 00:46:23.200 know what god does not only judge the unsaved whom the lord loveth he chaseneth and scourgeth 00:46:23.200 --> 00:46:28.370 every son whom he receiveth right so god yes he will punish the wicked and this is a strange 00:46:28.370 --> 00:46:34.260 punishment right here this is extreme where these people are falling alive into hell they're unsaved 00:46:34.260 --> 00:46:39.960 and isn't it funny when you keep reading it talks about the bleeding hearts who on the morrow they're 00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:43.890 crying they're whining like oh why have you killed the people of the lord it's like hey idiot these 00:46:43.890 --> 00:46:49.150 people were not saved they are in hell okay you know the bleeding hearts throughout this whole 00:46:49.150 --> 00:46:53.740 convert this whole you know controversy the last couple years is what makes me mad just more than 00:46:53.740 --> 00:46:59.450 about anything else is the stupid people bleeding hearts when it comes to this kind of stuff 00:46:59.450 --> 00:47:06.320 that have no problem whatsoever with an unqualified pastor just berating and attacking 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.800 good men of men of god for no reason whatsoever they have no problem with that you know they'll 00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:15.650 get up and scream amen in their church when that stuff is happening but then you know when their 00:47:15.650 --> 00:47:21.530 pastor steps down for having done some horrible atrocity it's it's the heart it's the sad it's 00:47:21.530 --> 00:47:27.490 the cry and look it is sad that joe ash ended his life in destruction it is sad that jerusalem 00:47:27.490 --> 00:47:33.620 got destroyed by the syrians but here's the thing it didn't have to be that way it didn't 00:47:33.620 --> 00:47:39.200 have to be that way okay and so it's like you just you can get to a point in your life 00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:44.200 where you can't prosper and the more you dig in in these bad areas we're going to talk about tonight 00:47:44.200 --> 00:47:50.710 the more screwed you are the more terrible it's going to be go to psalm 101 the bible says in 00:47:50.710 --> 00:48:00.140 proverbs 29 12 if a ruler harken to lies all his servants are wicked i'm going to read that again 00:48:00.140 --> 00:48:08.000 if a ruler harken to lies all his servants are wicked people continuing to engage in this 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:12.670 cover-up at verity baptist church people saying i'm going to go to the grave with the details the 00:48:12.670 --> 00:48:17.840 moral sin and all this stuff look they are wicked as well you should go to a different church you 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:23.010 should leave verity baptist church and look i've always loved verity baptist church you know 00:48:23.010 --> 00:48:27.540 regardless of what the stupid haters think which they don't know anything like these people are 00:48:27.540 --> 00:48:32.240 literally retards okay you know i preached at faith award baptist church a few months ago 00:48:32.240 --> 00:48:36.370 i preached a couple sermons and they're like oh you know pastor aus was preaching against 00:48:36.370 --> 00:48:41.940 pastor menes and it's like i wrote those sermons before he even stepped down it's just like there's 00:48:41.940 --> 00:48:45.730 this thing called the holy spirit that's convicting you right now and that's why you thought that but 00:48:45.730 --> 00:48:50.880 that wasn't even the case now i'm preaching against him yes now i'm preaching against verity but it 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:56.600 wasn't the case then psalm 101 but hey regardless of the verity situation also just apply this to 00:48:56.600 --> 00:49:01.490 yourself you need to get away from wicked people you need to not allow wicked people to influence 00:49:01.490 --> 00:49:06.620 you in your life you need to be careful of the people that you follow look at psalm 101 verse 00:49:06.620 --> 00:49:11.450 3 the bible says i will set no wicked thing before mine eyes i hate the work of them that turn aside 00:49:11.450 --> 00:49:18.510 it shall not cleave to me a foward heart shall depart from me i will not know a wicked person 00:49:18.510 --> 00:49:25.160 boy are there a lot of foward people in this world a lot of just contrarian foward people 00:49:25.160 --> 00:49:29.360 and it just doesn't even matter the controversy they're just always on the wrong side it's like 00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:36.240 the same people that i was hearing you know simping for adam fannin back in 2019 are the 00:49:36.240 --> 00:49:41.540 same people simping for pzarnsky now why because they're foward you know what that means they're 00:49:41.540 --> 00:49:50.040 wicked you should not follow anyone that is still championing you know uh uplifting cheering on 00:49:50.040 --> 00:49:54.380 this wickedness happening at verity baptist church that should be a major red flag to you 00:49:54.380 --> 00:50:00.370 get away from that wicked person verse five who so privily slandereth his neighbor him will i cut 00:50:00.370 --> 00:50:05.570 off him that hath a high look and a proud heart will i not suffer see there was signs way before 00:50:05.570 --> 00:50:10.830 any of this stuff happened way before and you know some people are just seeing it now but you 00:50:10.830 --> 00:50:15.630 know i saw this stuff two years ago a lot of us saw this stuff two years ago because there was 00:50:15.630 --> 00:50:20.850 tons of signs two years ago you know one of the signs that a preacher is not right with god is 00:50:20.850 --> 00:50:26.830 when his sermons lack power because you know what preaching and church it's not some sort of 00:50:26.830 --> 00:50:31.830 financial formula it's not some sort of program formula it's not just do these events over and 00:50:31.830 --> 00:50:39.290 over and you know do all these things look it's the spirit of god and you cannot go through your 00:50:39.290 --> 00:50:45.170 life as a pastor or as a preacher as a christian in the flesh it's going to be obvious and here's 00:50:45.170 --> 00:50:49.790 the thing pastor jimenez former pastor jimenez roger jimenez was at one point i believe one of 00:50:49.790 --> 00:50:54.240 the mightiest preachers on earth that he was one of the greatest preachers on earth he was someone 00:50:54.240 --> 00:50:59.300 i looked up to so highly that had a great influence on my life that i appreciate and you know what i'm 00:50:59.300 --> 00:51:03.250 preaching this out of love partly so that he will get right with god because that's the only hope 00:51:03.250 --> 00:51:07.770 he has for his future because if things stay how it is right now let me tell you what roger jimenez 00:51:07.770 --> 00:51:13.450 you will never prosper you will never prosper that that puts a pit in my stomach to say but that is 00:51:13.450 --> 00:51:19.450 the truth okay mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land that they may dwell with me he that 00:51:19.450 --> 00:51:24.440 walketh in a perfect way he shall serve me he that worketh deceit shall not dwell within mine house 00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:30.450 he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight number one you got to be careful of following 00:51:30.450 --> 00:51:34.850 wicked people and if you follow wicked people you can get to a point where you cannot prosper number 00:51:34.850 --> 00:51:41.690 two you cannot prosper when you forsake the house of god you cannot prosper when you forsake the 00:51:41.690 --> 00:51:46.600 house of god look at verse 17 it says in uh i'm sorry go back to second chronicles 24 i told you 00:51:46.600 --> 00:51:52.050 keep your place there second chronicles 24 we're just going through what the chapter shows happened 00:51:52.050 --> 00:51:56.990 here verse 17 now after the death of jehoiadah came the princes of judah and made obeisance to 00:51:56.990 --> 00:52:03.330 the king then the king hearkened unto them there it is and they left the house of the lord god of 00:52:03.330 --> 00:52:09.860 their fathers and served groves and idols and wrath came upon judah and jerusalem for this 00:52:09.860 --> 00:52:18.090 their trespass look joe ash spent his life doing that which was right joe ash spent his life being 00:52:18.090 --> 00:52:22.920 someone that cared about the house of God. He says, let's go rebuild the house of God. 00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:27.970 He says, Hey, let's spend money and hire people to build the house of God. Hey, let's spend 00:52:27.970 --> 00:52:33.720 money and buy all these vessels for the service of the house of God. But let me tell you something. 00:52:33.720 --> 00:52:39.600 It does not matter if you used to be in church. It does not matter if you used to be three 00:52:39.600 --> 00:52:45.040 to thrive. You used to care about church. Where are you at now? Where are you at right 00:52:45.040 --> 00:52:49.090 now? That's who you are. That's who you are. And so, hey, Joe Ash, yeah, you did that, 00:52:49.090 --> 00:52:53.130 which is right. You please God. You love the house of God. But you know what? You let these 00:52:53.130 --> 00:52:57.550 wicked people affect you. And notice, you left the house of the Lord. You know, there's 00:52:57.550 --> 00:53:01.660 a lot of Christians today in this world that leave the house of God. And I'm telling you, 00:53:01.660 --> 00:53:07.690 you are begging for God to cut off the prosperity in your life. You can get to a point where 00:53:07.690 --> 00:53:11.870 God says, oh, you don't want to, you don't want to care about my house. Oh, you don't 00:53:11.870 --> 00:53:19.240 want to care for the institution that my son died for. Okay, no prosperity for you, jerk. 00:53:19.240 --> 00:53:24.730 How about that? You know, pisses me off today that this world is going to hell, that this 00:53:24.730 --> 00:53:30.170 world we're living in, our country we are living in is just going crazy and wickedness 00:53:30.170 --> 00:53:35.950 abounds. And we live in these uncertain times of wars and rumors of wars. And yet people 00:53:35.950 --> 00:53:40.820 don't care to go to the house of God. It is unbelievable to me. But let me tell you what, 00:53:40.820 --> 00:53:46.910 if you forsake the house of God, you could destroy your life. And look, God may be merciful 00:53:46.910 --> 00:53:53.060 with you for a while, oh thou online listener, right now. God could be merciful with you 00:53:53.060 --> 00:53:58.020 for a while. But you know what, don't take that for granted and think because God's being 00:53:58.020 --> 00:54:02.660 merciful to me now, he always will be. No, no, no. If you go on forsaking the house of 00:54:02.660 --> 00:54:08.610 God, God can destroy you. God can destroy you. And you know what, unto whom much is 00:54:08.610 --> 00:54:14.390 given of him shall much be required. And you know, I don't think this is an average church 00:54:14.390 --> 00:54:18.810 that was dropped in the Oklahoma City Metro today and woe unto someone that knows they 00:54:18.810 --> 00:54:23.790 should be going soul winning. Woe unto someone that knows the King James Bible, that knows 00:54:23.790 --> 00:54:29.170 they should be in church in the house of God. And they're just choosing not to go woe unto 00:54:29.170 --> 00:54:34.180 you today. You are on a path to destroy your life. You say, are you mad at me? Do you 00:54:34.180 --> 00:54:39.640 hate me? No, I love you, and I don't want you to destroy your life. That's the truth. 00:54:39.640 --> 00:54:43.460 And you know what? If you come back, I'm going to be so happy to see you, because I don't 00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:48.020 want to see you destroyed. I don't want to see you get to a place where it's just, I 00:54:48.020 --> 00:54:51.590 cannot prosper. And you know what? It's like, hey, you already know the truth about the 00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:56.440 synagogue of Satan. You already know the reprobate doctrine. Hey, you already know hard preaching. 00:54:56.440 --> 00:55:00.550 So it's like, what lame watered down church are you going to right now? Online listener, 00:55:00.550 --> 00:55:12.930 go to 1st Timothy 3, 1st Timothy chapter number three. Oh man, I used to be in church. Oh, 00:55:12.930 --> 00:55:18.430 I used to be an on fire Christian. How are you now? Because it sounds like you're on 00:55:18.430 --> 00:55:24.250 the road to destruction by saying you are used to be right with God. It says this in 00:55:24.250 --> 00:55:29.350 verse 15, "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself 00:55:29.350 --> 00:55:34.750 in the house of God," which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of 00:55:34.750 --> 00:55:41.100 the truth. This is the house of God today. This is not a hangout place for your buddies. 00:55:41.100 --> 00:55:48.530 Hey, I'm glad that there's some close friendships in here. This is not a friend group right here. You realize that this is the house of God 00:55:48.530 --> 00:55:53.350 This is the pillar and ground of the truth and you should care about that 00:55:53.350 --> 00:56:02.140 You should love that you should attend a church like that go to Psalm 23 Psalm 23 look church 00:56:02.140 --> 00:56:08.610 It's not your bowling club. It's not your softball league. It's not your chess club. It's not your Dungeons & Dragons club 00:56:08.610 --> 00:56:12.780 It's not your fitness club. It's not your tennis club. It's not your pickleball club 00:56:12.780 --> 00:56:19.280 It's the house of God. It's not your business. It's not your job. It's not your family function 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:21.250 It is the house of God 00:56:21.250 --> 00:56:30.100 Stop forsaking the house of God Psalm 23 verse 1 the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want 00:56:30.100 --> 00:56:35.780 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters 00:56:35.780 --> 00:56:40.890 He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake 00:56:41.400 --> 00:56:47.000 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil for thou art with me thy rod 00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:51.690 And I staff they comfort me now prepare us a table before me in the presence of mine enemies 00:56:51.690 --> 00:56:54.810 They'll anoint us mine head with oil my cup runneth over 00:56:54.810 --> 00:57:01.360 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life life notice this and I will dwell in the house of the Lord 00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:07.710 Forever. Hey praise God that you used to go to church. Hey, praise God that you used to be three to thrive 00:57:07.710 --> 00:57:11.090 You know what? I want to do.

Oh, I know where you're going with this 00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:50.280 Yeah, so much the more as you see the day approaching you should you should know it by now and it's gonna be so much the more 00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:52.690 I hope this is etched into your soul 00:57:52.690 --> 00:58:00.320 Hebrews 10 verse 23 the Bible says let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering for he is faithful that promised 00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:05.240 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and unto good works 00:58:05.240 --> 00:58:13.700 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see 00:58:13.700 --> 00:58:18.250 The day approaching hey, we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together notice 00:58:18.250 --> 00:58:22.710 As the manner of some is some people they have a lifestyle. They have a habit 00:58:22.710 --> 00:58:26.160 They have a custom of just forsaking the assembly of God and you know what? 00:58:26.160 --> 00:58:30.670 That was Joe ash once he started listening to wicked people. He used to be faithful 00:58:30.670 --> 00:58:32.320 He used to care about the house of God 00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:38.570 But then something changed and it became his manner immediately to forsake the house of God and to serve idols 00:58:38.570 --> 00:58:42.140 And you know what you cannot prosper you forsake God's house 00:58:42.140 --> 00:58:50.070 You cannot prosper and it's funny some people forsake God's house with the hope of prospering. How stupid is that? That's retarded folks 00:58:50.330 --> 00:58:55.440 You're just asking yourself not to prosper it's a notice right here 00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:58.940 It says it's so much the more as you see the day approaching church is more important today than it was last week 00:58:58.940 --> 00:59:00.640 It's gonna be more important next week 00:59:00.640 --> 00:59:05.150 It says for if we sin willfully skipping church is a willful sin by the way 00:59:05.150 --> 00:59:10.200 After that we have received the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins 00:59:10.200 --> 00:59:16.310 But a certain feel fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries 00:59:16.310 --> 00:59:21.970 You know what that is destruction being judged by God saying hey, you cannot prosper 00:59:22.170 --> 00:59:26.520 It may not have happened yet. It may not happen tomorrow 00:59:26.520 --> 00:59:31.930 It may not happen next year, but if you just forsake God's house, you will not prosper 00:59:31.930 --> 00:59:36.700 That is a fact you have you know, you have looking forward to fiery indignation 00:59:36.700 --> 00:59:40.780 That's what you have to look forward to God's judgment on your life. Go to Hebrews 12 00:59:40.780 --> 00:59:44.800 You know some of you haven't you haven't forsaken the assembling of our ourselves together 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:51.750 Some of you haven't forsaken church. You're physically here, but your heart has forsaken church some of you 00:59:51.750 --> 00:59:55.670 It's very obvious that you have lost your love for the house of God 00:59:55.670 --> 01:00:01.570 Okay, because you know the Bible doesn't just say be a body in a building, you know, just sit here and exist 01:00:01.570 --> 01:00:05.460 You know the Bible says in Hebrews chapter 12 verse 28 01:00:05.460 --> 01:00:10.680 It says wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved to have grace whereby we may serve God 01:00:10.680 --> 01:00:18.280 Acceptably notice what it says with reverence and godly fear for our God is a consuming fire 01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:23.690 You know what you ought to have reverence for the house of God and not treat this like this is nothing 01:00:23.770 --> 01:00:30.990 Not treat God's house. Like this is just some nothing and you know what the sermons are just some nothing and the man of God is just 01:00:30.990 --> 01:00:36.330 Some nothing and all this is just some little crappy church or whatever. No, no, you ought to serve God with reverence 01:00:36.330 --> 01:00:40.610 You know what that means? High respect high respect. How about this? 01:00:40.610 --> 01:00:49.360 I'll read for you first Timothy 413 the Bible says till I come give attendance to reading to exhortation to doctrine 01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:55.140 Hey, why don't you have some reverence and follow along in your Bible? Why don't you open the Word of God? 01:00:55.140 --> 01:01:01.610 Why don't you actually turn to the verses that are being turned to because you know what that's serving God with reverence 01:01:01.610 --> 01:01:09.720 That's having godly fear saying. Oh the word of God is being opened. Let's listen to it. Hey, let's follow along 01:01:09.720 --> 01:01:17.400 Let's care about it. You know, what's not reverence to God is sitting in your pew on your phone 01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:20.150 scrolling the whole sermon 01:01:20.150 --> 01:01:22.190 smiling and gig giggling and 01:01:22.190 --> 01:01:26.340 Scrolling on your phone the whole sermon some of you must think I'm an idiot like I can't see you 01:01:26.340 --> 01:01:35.070 Hey, I'm right here buddy. I'm right here. And you know what I can't see you and more importantly God can see you and it's wicked 01:01:35.070 --> 01:01:40.970 As hell to disrespect God's house and to just sit there in your seat and just scroll on your phone and laugh 01:01:40.970 --> 01:01:47.200 Hey, I can see you. You see that you see me right now. I could see you guys. Can you see me? 01:01:47.200 --> 01:01:52.030 I mean do I need to be like an elementary school teacher that comes up to the kid texting? 01:01:52.030 --> 01:01:54.690 It's just like hey, what you got on your phone right there 01:01:54.690 --> 01:02:00.050 Like do I do I need to do that in the house of God or something like that to get someone to actually respect God's house? 01:02:00.050 --> 01:02:07.280 Because I'm telling you what I'm done being mr. Nice guy. I'm done letting God's house be 01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:14.990 Disrespected when I'm preaching God's word, so you better be careful. Okay. I'm not talking about hey, hey husband 01:02:14.990 --> 01:02:18.870 Bring me a diaper in the baby room. I'm not talking about usher's like hey, you know security thing 01:02:18.870 --> 01:02:22.600 Hey sending the tithing I'm saying you just scrolling on your phone all sermon 01:02:22.600 --> 01:02:30.350 You better be careful. You want to be embarrassed? Keep doing it. Keep doing it, you know, you come to church, but you're not listening 01:02:30.350 --> 01:02:38.610 You come to church, but you complain. Oh you haven't forsaken the house of God with your body, but you sure have with your heart 01:02:38.610 --> 01:02:44.740 It's very easy to see go back to second Chronicles 24 second Chronicles 24. Oh, are you preaching against me? 01:02:44.740 --> 01:02:47.680 Well, if you feel like it is then yes. Yes, I am 01:02:47.680 --> 01:02:54.460 So, you know in the in the words of formerly great pastor Jimenez don't send me an email. Okay, don't send me an email 01:02:54.460 --> 01:02:58.730 Yes, it is about you second Chronicles 24. Look at verse 18 01:02:58.730 --> 01:03:02.170 Here's another way that you could just make it to where you cannot prosper in your life number three 01:03:02.170 --> 01:03:05.000 You cannot prosper when you are living a life of sin 01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:08.050 You cannot prosper when you are living a life of sin 01:03:08.050 --> 01:03:15.630 second Chronicles 24 verse 18 says and they left the house of the Lord God of their fathers and notice served the groves and 01:03:15.630 --> 01:03:21.700 Idols and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass 01:03:21.700 --> 01:03:27.950 So notice just like hey, he's doing that which is right and then boom he follows a wicked person and boom 01:03:27.950 --> 01:03:33.390 He's outside of church and boom. He's involved in grievous sin. What is it idolatry? 01:03:33.390 --> 01:03:40.870 You know idolatry will bring the wrath of God on you. It'll bring the wrath of God on a country on a religion 01:03:40.870 --> 01:03:48.150 Hey, the Catholic Church is not gonna please God tonight. The Catholic Church can never prosper because they're idolaters 01:03:48.150 --> 01:03:56.520 That's what it says. Hey, they serve girls and idols and wrath came upon Judah in Jerusalem for this their trespass 01:03:56.520 --> 01:04:01.040 You live a wicked life of sin. You are gonna bring the wrath of God on your life 01:04:01.040 --> 01:04:07.690 That's what you're gonna do what it says in verse 19 01:04:07.690 --> 01:04:15.240 Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again unto the Lord and they testified against them, but they would not give ear 01:04:15.240 --> 01:04:22.480 Here's God calling you back. It's called the rebuke from the pulpit. That's God saying hey knock it off. I'm calling you back 01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:28.870 Hey, I know you're involved in wicked sin. That's why the pastor's preaching against it. All right. Hey repent 01:04:29.530 --> 01:04:35.860 Listen to the preaching but it says they would not give ear and the spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoi 01:04:35.860 --> 01:04:37.820 to the priest which stood above the people and 01:04:37.820 --> 01:04:43.740 Said unto them thus saith God why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord that she cannot prosper 01:04:43.740 --> 01:04:50.780 Because you have forsaken the Lord. He hath also forsaken you look God is long-suffering 01:04:50.780 --> 01:04:57.460 so much more than we deserve and sometimes people mistake God's long-suffering as 01:04:57.580 --> 01:05:02.120 Like weakness or that God's not gonna handle issues that God's not gonna deal with problems 01:05:02.120 --> 01:05:04.690 Let me tell you something. God is very very long-suffering 01:05:04.690 --> 01:05:08.750 But if you are just hanging on to wicked sin in your life 01:05:08.750 --> 01:05:14.350 And you're just pretending like it's not there and you're just gonna forsake God. You're gonna forsake his commandments 01:05:14.350 --> 01:05:19.910 You're gonna be in the grove. You're gonna worship idols. Let me tell you what you forsake God. He will forsake you 01:05:19.910 --> 01:05:24.750 He will judge your life. He will make it to where you cannot prosper. That's the reality 01:05:24.750 --> 01:05:31.650 That's a scary scary place to be, you know, the Bible says in Proverbs 29 one 01:05:31.650 --> 01:05:37.560 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy 01:05:37.560 --> 01:05:43.530 You know that saying you cannot prosper you're gonna be destroyed suddenly and that without remedy 01:05:43.530 --> 01:05:47.810 Look if there is something that is brought to your attention in your life 01:05:47.810 --> 01:05:52.280 Whether by the Word of God whether by the preaching of God's Word the pulling of the Holy Spirit 01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:57.590 That is something that God is not happy with you better yield to that as soon 01:05:57.790 --> 01:05:59.270 as possible 01:05:59.270 --> 01:06:06.260 Because if you harden your neck and let me tell you what if you harden your neck being often reproved if you harden 01:06:06.260 --> 01:06:11.600 I mean if you come to a church like this and you just harden your neck and you hear the preaching on soul-winning 01:06:11.600 --> 01:06:16.020 You just never become a soul winner you hear the preaching against adultery and you want to go commit adultery 01:06:16.020 --> 01:06:20.750 You hear the preaching and all these things you just harden your neck you are asking to be destroyed by God 01:06:20.750 --> 01:06:25.310 And you know what there's a destruction that can happen to you that is without remedy 01:06:25.310 --> 01:06:28.280 There's some situations that cannot be fixed 01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:32.300 You know what's better is to hear preaching like this before you ruin your life 01:06:32.300 --> 01:06:35.360 Before you end up being like Roger Jimenez 01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:41.970 Because let me tell you what Roger Jimenez is saved and Roger Jimenez like Joe Ash was a great man of God for a long 01:06:41.970 --> 01:06:48.150 Time you know what that shouldn't be like oh well that's a relief that should be terrifying to you because it's like hey 01:06:48.150 --> 01:06:50.090 If a great man of God can go down this road 01:06:50.090 --> 01:06:55.740 How much less I how much less all of us right so hey we got to be careful 01:06:55.970 --> 01:07:04.320 Proverbs 20 13 says he that covereth his sins shall not prosper but who so confesseth and forsake if them shall have mercy 01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:11.980 This is your wake-up call tonight right now that if you have some sort of wicked sin that you've been covering in your life 01:07:11.980 --> 01:07:17.320 Tonight you need to go home fall on your face and ask God for mercy on you 01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:22.700 You need to beg him for mercy you need to say Lord. I'm not gonna cover this. I am sorry 01:07:22.700 --> 01:07:29.020 I am gonna forsake this sin. Hey, I'm gonna not cover this up because I want to receive mercy from you 01:07:29.020 --> 01:07:34.030 Look, you better be afraid of God. Hey, but here's the good news. If you confess God will forgive you 01:07:34.030 --> 01:07:40.220 Why don't people do that? I mean you just know like God will forgive you. It's just like why are you covering it up? 01:07:40.220 --> 01:07:42.150 Why don't you just snip it in the bud? 01:07:42.150 --> 01:07:48.290 Why don't when you're going down a dark path as soon as possible say whoa, I need to fall on my face right now 01:07:48.290 --> 01:07:53.860 I need to confess and forsake this sin. I just confess it forsake it as well 01:07:53.860 --> 01:07:57.310 I'll read first John 1 9 the Bible says if we confess our sins 01:07:57.310 --> 01:08:01.010 He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 01:08:01.010 --> 01:08:04.290 Can you check the sound? I just turned it off on accident. Are we good? 01:08:04.290 --> 01:08:13.810 All right, go if you would to Joshua chapter number one Joshua chapter number one. I want to be prosperous 01:08:13.810 --> 01:08:19.970 I do not want to get to a position in my life where just God just says like you cannot prosper 01:08:19.970 --> 01:08:24.300 You shall not prosper. That is a terrifying thought to me 01:08:24.300 --> 01:08:29.700 What does Joshua 1 8 says the Bible says this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth 01:08:29.940 --> 01:08:35.340 But thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayst observe to do 01:08:35.340 --> 01:08:41.640 according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:47.530 Then thou shalt have good success. How do you prosper? How do you have good success? 01:08:47.530 --> 01:08:54.030 You take the words of the Lord you read it every day and you observe to do it 01:08:54.030 --> 01:08:58.650 Because guess what serving God it's not just a numeric game 01:08:58.780 --> 01:09:03.860 Like oh our church is a certain size so we could just be wicked and coasts and we'll just be good because we have all 01:09:03.860 --> 01:09:06.870 This money we have a building and we have a big congregation 01:09:06.870 --> 01:09:14.360 No, no, you have to observe to do you have to observe to do the commandments of God. Then you will prosper 01:09:14.360 --> 01:09:19.790 Then you will have good success and you know, it doesn't matter if you've prospered in the past 01:09:19.790 --> 01:09:22.750 Doesn't matter if you were right with God in the past 01:09:22.750 --> 01:09:26.680 Doesn't matter that your church has done great things for God in the past. Who are we right now? 01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:32.550 Are we right with God right now? Are you observing to do right now? 01:09:32.550 --> 01:09:36.110 Let me tell you this you will never prosper in your life 01:09:36.110 --> 01:09:41.120 If you come to this church and you go home and you sneak your alcohol you will never prosper 01:09:41.120 --> 01:09:45.500 You are begging for the wrath of God on your life because you know what? 01:09:45.500 --> 01:09:51.340 Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise 01:09:51.340 --> 01:09:56.160 You're an idiot today if you drink alcohol and you know what I may not know about it 01:09:56.160 --> 01:10:00.340 We may not know about it in this room because if we did you'd be kicked out of church if you're drunkard 01:10:00.340 --> 01:10:07.730 But God knows about it and you better knock it off if you're drinking alcohol today today is your call to quit now 01:10:07.730 --> 01:10:15.520 You know if you're going out doing drugs taking illicit drugs getting high you think you're gonna get away with it 01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:18.640 You think you could prosper and have your little drug habit on the side 01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.980 Let me tell you what you will not prosper young people 01:10:21.980 --> 01:10:27.820 You think you could shack up with your girlfriend or ladies with your boyfriend before marriage and no one's gonna know 01:10:27.820 --> 01:10:29.880 God will know and you will not 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:36.290 Prosper you better fear God men you're going down a road on the path to adultery 01:10:36.290 --> 01:10:39.280 You better stop the second you get on that road 01:10:39.280 --> 01:10:45.010 You better be scared to death to go a don't even go near the corner of her house 01:10:45.010 --> 01:10:51.200 The Bible says hey, it says don't let her take you with her eyelids. Let's not after her beauty in my heart 01:10:51.200 --> 01:10:55.290 Look if you're going down a dark path, you better cut it off as soon as possible 01:10:56.050 --> 01:11:00.830 You better be scared to death of going down that road. And again right now, you know 01:11:00.830 --> 01:11:04.260 I don't know what everyone's involved in if you've got some side chick 01:11:04.260 --> 01:11:10.020 If you're cheating on your wife if you're chatting up girls on an online chat room 01:11:10.020 --> 01:11:14.300 If you're receiving pictures and videos from someone that's not your wife 01:11:14.300 --> 01:11:18.870 Today is the day where you get on your face. You apologize to God 01:11:18.870 --> 01:11:24.060 You confess that sin and you forsake it forever or you will destroy your life 01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:30.630 Moral sin. What the hell even is that the only thing I can think of is that the modern versions, you know 01:11:30.630 --> 01:11:37.650 Replace fornication and adultery with sexual immorality and it's so funny when all these you know liberal pastors step down 01:11:37.650 --> 01:11:41.300 It's always for a you know, moral failure. That's what they call it moral failure 01:11:41.300 --> 01:11:48.400 Translation something sexual and it's like multiple witnesses saying that miss Joanne Jimenez is the victim of this sin 01:11:48.400 --> 01:11:54.540 Okay. Oh, but but I would never but you would never really because seems like a great man of God did 01:11:54.540 --> 01:11:57.890 Have you ever read the Bible?

They continued to stand with a false story 01:15:07.320 --> 01:15:14.600 They continued to stand with the feminists and the railers and those that taught false doctrine and they did not give ear to the preachers 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:18.810 That were rebuking it but you know, not only did they not give ear it got worse than that 01:15:18.810 --> 01:15:25.070 It says in verse 20 in the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoi to the priest which stood above the people 01:15:25.070 --> 01:15:27.050 And said unto them thus saith God why? 01:15:27.050 --> 01:15:31.780 Transgress ye the commandments of the Lord that you cannot prosper because he had forsaken the Lord 01:15:31.780 --> 01:15:34.430 He had also forsaken you notice 01:15:34.430 --> 01:15:42.370 He didn't just not listen to Zechariah then it goes to verse 21 and they conspired against him and stoned him 01:15:42.370 --> 01:15:48.240 With stones at the commandment of the king in the house in the court of the house of the Lord notice Joe ash 01:15:48.240 --> 01:15:54.120 He didn't just hear the preaching that was correcting his error. Who was in the wrong here? 01:15:54.120 --> 01:15:59.860 Joe ash Joe ash has forsaken the house of God. Joe ash has put up groves 01:15:59.860 --> 01:16:05.040 Joe ash is following idols Zechariah the Bible says has the spirit of God. He's filled with the spirit 01:16:05.040 --> 01:16:10.080 He's correcting this and not only did Joe ash just disregard his preaching ignore him 01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:15.650 Then he takes it to a completely different level where he conspires against him. He attacks him. Yay 01:16:15.650 --> 01:16:18.750 He kills him stones him with stones 01:16:18.750 --> 01:16:24.300 How wicked and evil is that to have the blood of a man of God on your hands who was doing that? 01:16:24.300 --> 01:16:28.730 Which was right who was trying to warn you. Do you think Zechariah hated this man? 01:16:28.730 --> 01:16:36.250 No, no, no Zechariah was the son of Joe ashes friend, right to hoida who he was following 01:16:36.250 --> 01:16:42.680 I mean this guy right here is Zechariah probably deeply loved Joe Ash and it's like before all this happened 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:48.760 Do you think that the preachers who are still currently new IV? Do you think we just like hated these guys? No, that's not the case 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:52.660 That's not the case whatsoever. We had great love for them and Roger Jimenez 01:16:52.860 --> 01:16:59.330 Specifically, I had a lot of love for a lot of great love and anyone who knows me anyone who's known me for years and years 01:16:59.330 --> 01:17:02.630 Can tell you that I've always spoken Lee positively of him. Is that right? 01:17:02.630 --> 01:17:07.720 That is right. Anyone who knows me knows that that is the case, but you know what? 01:17:07.720 --> 01:17:16.110 I love truth and I love the Bible and I love right doctrine and I love people and I know that error is going to destroy 01:17:16.110 --> 01:17:22.090 People and so you know what we called it out. We preached against the false doctrine other pastors did even more so 01:17:22.150 --> 01:17:27.750 But you know what the ex new IFB they didn't just ignore the warnings. They attacked the man of God 01:17:27.750 --> 01:17:34.570 They went after the man of God, especially pastor Anderson, especially him attacking him 01:17:34.570 --> 01:17:40.640 You know going with his children that are rebelling against him, you know, he's got family members harboring his daughters 01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:48.020 He's got you know, this documentary being made against him man of God by Paul Wittenberger the slander and railing 01:17:48.020 --> 01:17:53.210 I mean pastor Anderson's gotta be the most persecuted man in America getting swatted all the time 01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:55.750 Having CPS come to his house all the time 01:17:55.750 --> 01:17:59.570 And it's like, you know, you're on the wrong side when you're standing against great men of God 01:17:59.570 --> 01:18:04.560 You should always look to your left and right and be like, whoa, why am I standing with fags? 01:18:04.560 --> 01:18:08.930 Whoa, why am I standing with feminists? Whoa, it's like, you know 01:18:08.930 --> 01:18:15.120 Why does the ex new IFBs preaching on marriage agree with all the fags and feminists that leave voicemails for my church? 01:18:15.120 --> 01:18:25.480 Wake up idiot crazy, but they didn't just ignore they said, you know, they didn't just say okay, we're wrong. I'm sorry 01:18:25.720 --> 01:18:30.470 We're gonna start doing right now. They're gonna they didn't just you know confess and forsake 01:18:30.470 --> 01:18:39.640 They didn't even just ignore they attacked and you know all while Roger Jimenez was involved in his moral sin for the last year 01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:45.250 Plus all all while he's living a wicked life and living a life of sin, you know 01:18:45.250 --> 01:18:49.760 He gets up and he preaches I tried to leave quietly Steve, but you won't let me 01:18:49.760 --> 01:18:52.830 So now I'm gonna come after you and when I'm done with you 01:18:52.830 --> 01:18:56.830 I'm gonna come after Dylan and that weasel Shelley - what is that? 01:18:56.830 --> 01:19:04.500 That's a man that is not just not listen to the correction not receive the correction not receive what the Bible is saying 01:19:04.500 --> 01:19:10.910 But to go farther into attack men of God, that's a dangerous place to be doesn't matter who you are 01:19:10.910 --> 01:19:16.250 Doesn't matter what you've done. It's a dangerous place to be to be standing against a man of God 01:19:16.250 --> 01:19:23.730 And then of course all the idiots at Verity Baptist Church scream. Amen at this point, right? 01:19:23.730 --> 01:19:29.720 Hey, we're coming after Dylan coming after Shelley - what did we ever do? What did we ever do to Verity Baptist Church? 01:19:30.310 --> 01:19:38.120 What did pastor Shelley ever do to Verity Baptist Church bring a red-hot sermon at the red-hot preaching conference? Oh, sorry 01:19:38.120 --> 01:19:42.020 I didn't know we were supposed to preach boring lame sermons at the red-hot preaching conference 01:19:42.020 --> 01:19:49.480 Pastor Shelley actually thought I this is crazy. He thought at the red-hot preaching conference to bring a red-hot sermon 01:19:49.480 --> 01:20:01.340 Yeah, that's nuts, right? Wow. What a terrible person. He's a weasel. What a weasel then while committing this moral sin 01:20:01.340 --> 01:20:05.920 He gets up and preaches a sermon called when people attacked you 01:20:06.480 --> 01:20:14.230 To distract from themselves. That's wild work my friend. That is crazy. That is wild work 01:20:14.230 --> 01:20:19.120 To be involved in moral sin, whatever that is to be, you know 01:20:19.120 --> 01:20:22.360 Withholding money from your missionary to be stealing over a hundred thousand dollars 01:20:22.360 --> 01:20:25.480 You'd be like, oh, yeah when people attack to distract from themselves 01:20:25.480 --> 01:20:31.230 You mean like you've been doing last year. You mean like what you're doing right now this very second 01:20:31.230 --> 01:20:36.140 It's like men you see what happens to someone when they're not right with God as they get completely blinded 01:20:36.140 --> 01:20:44.870 They get completely blinded then he breaks fellowship with all of us for no reason haven't done anything to him 01:20:44.870 --> 01:20:51.630 He breaks fellowship with all of us. He says that the new IFB is trashy and vile. Meanwhile, he's committing moral sin 01:20:51.630 --> 01:21:02.950 But we're we're trashy and we're vile that we're going a bad direction. What what are you doing? We're going a bad direction 01:21:02.950 --> 01:21:13.240 Oh, the music standards are changing forget stealing a hundred thousand dollars. Forget moral sin. The music standards are changing 01:21:13.240 --> 01:21:18.730 He says oh we fight too much because you know what people do when they start to compromise is 01:21:18.730 --> 01:21:24.110 They start to get mad at people who are still fighting and when when you preach when you stand 01:21:24.110 --> 01:21:29.030 Where the new IFV is always stood people who no longer want to stand there get upset at you 01:21:29.030 --> 01:21:32.510 They don't like that because it makes them look bad 01:21:32.510 --> 01:21:37.530 And so why would you you know criticize someone for fighting the Bible says fight the good fight of faith? 01:21:37.530 --> 01:21:44.420 Hey, we're supposed to fight the good fight. There's nothing wrong with fighting for the gospel fighting for doctrine 01:21:44.420 --> 01:21:48.460 Then he steps down, you know or before that, you know 01:21:48.460 --> 01:21:54.940 He says that that I'm a person of low character that I'm someone that's worthy of no respect that pastor 01:21:54.940 --> 01:21:59.410 Shelly is person of low character. He's worthy of no respect and that you know, he's a weasel 01:21:59.410 --> 01:22:05.780 He got the extra one that he is a weasel. So so all of that, you know, we're the terrible evil people 01:22:05.780 --> 01:22:10.460 We're the vile trashy people very he just gets to sit there and believe we're trashy. We're evil. We're vile 01:22:10.460 --> 01:22:12.570 They're all just constant crap talking us 01:22:13.160 --> 01:22:18.340 Blandering us and then he steps down for being wicked for being a bad leader 01:22:18.340 --> 01:22:22.980 And then all the idiot bleeding hearts are just still just like oh, he's such a great man of God 01:22:22.980 --> 01:22:29.020 He's just so you know, he's so has so much integrity and he has so much class and he's still the greatest pastor ever 01:22:29.020 --> 01:22:34.760 He's still the greatest leader and we're still the trash. We're still the trash. We're still the low characters 01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:41.780 We're still the weasels. It's like wow folks if you're on that side 01:22:41.780 --> 01:22:48.090 Let me tell you something you are either already or are heading down a road where God's gonna look at you and say you cannot 01:22:48.090 --> 01:22:55.330 Prosper that is the truth. I believe Verity Baptist Church is doomed that it's cursed. They have not repented 01:22:55.330 --> 01:22:57.440 I would love to see that not be the case 01:22:57.440 --> 01:23:01.010 I would love that but you know what I would leave Verity Baptist Church 01:23:01.010 --> 01:23:07.530 I would not take my family there first Chronicles 16 21 says he suffered no man to do them wrong 01:23:07.530 --> 01:23:14.370 Yay, he reproved kings for their sakes saying touch not mine anointed and do my prophets 01:23:14.370 --> 01:23:23.410 No harm. Look preaching against sin is not doing someone harm preaching and correcting false doctrine bad ideas 01:23:23.410 --> 01:23:30.250 That's not doing some with someone harm but lying and railing and making false accusations and saying we're low character 01:23:30.250 --> 01:23:34.880 We're trash. We're vile. We're terrible. We're worthy of no respect 01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:40.360 That is trying to do someone harm that is wicked and that and you know it we should acknowledge that that's wicked 01:23:40.360 --> 01:23:45.660 And I want people to stop pretending like he's still the good guy and we're still the bad guys 01:23:45.660 --> 01:23:48.380 No, you know if you're still standing with Verity 01:23:48.380 --> 01:23:53.220 I say you're the bad guy go to numbers 12 numbers 12 01:23:53.220 --> 01:23:57.210 You know you ought to be careful how you treat speak to and speak of a man of God 01:23:57.210 --> 01:23:58.800 You ought to be very careful 01:23:58.800 --> 01:24:06.370 And you know the Bible says these things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority let no man despise thee 01:24:06.370 --> 01:24:12.730 You know this does not come natural probably for a lot of pastors because honestly 01:24:12.730 --> 01:24:17.180 I just don't like you know being a hard-ass for lack of a better word 01:24:17.180 --> 01:24:20.960 I just am not naturally that way, but I'm just telling you I'm not gonna let people despise me 01:24:20.960 --> 01:24:26.500 I'm not gonna let people sit here and scroll on their phone during the entire sermon because I magnify my office 01:24:26.500 --> 01:24:32.040 That's why not because of me or anything like that, but I've been commanded by God 01:24:32.040 --> 01:24:35.450 Let no man despise you numbers 12 look at verse number one 01:24:35.450 --> 01:24:42.260 The Bible says in Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married for he had married an Ethiopian 01:24:42.260 --> 01:24:45.900 Woman and they said had the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses 01:24:45.900 --> 01:24:53.340 Have he not spoken also by us the Lord heard it talking crap on Moses for marrying this Ethiopian woman 01:24:53.340 --> 01:24:56.870 But you know who hears it God hears it now the man 01:24:56.870 --> 01:25:03.210 Moses was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth and the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses and unto 01:25:03.210 --> 01:25:09.430 Aaron and unto Miriam come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation and they three came out and 01:25:09.430 --> 01:25:14.050 The Lord came down in the pillar of a cloud and stood in the tabernacle in the door of the tabernacle 01:25:14.050 --> 01:25:21.060 Called Aaron and Miriam and they both came forth and he said here now my words if there will be if there be a prophet 01:25:21.060 --> 01:25:24.580 Among you I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision 01:25:24.580 --> 01:25:30.450 And will speak unto him in a dream my servant Moses is not so who is faithful in all mine house with him 01:25:30.450 --> 01:25:36.360 Will I speak mouth to mouth even apparently and not in dark speeches and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold? 01:25:36.360 --> 01:25:41.590 Wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 01:25:41.590 --> 01:25:46.310 Why were you not afraid to speak against men of God? 01:25:46.310 --> 01:25:52.390 You should be afraid to speak against men of God you should be afraid to speak against pastor Anderson 01:25:52.390 --> 01:25:58.370 I mean hello. This guy is getting so many people saved and has been for decades 01:25:58.370 --> 01:26:04.880 This is a great man of God who's leading a great church doing a great work for God. Why would you speak against him? 01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:11.850 Why why would you speak against pastor Shelley? That's getting over what like 14,000 people saved last year something like that 01:26:11.850 --> 01:26:15.900 Do you guys remember the number it was over 10,000? Amen.

I don't just apply this to pastor Shelley and pastor Anderson 01:26:24.190 --> 01:26:29.680 Why would you speak against any man of God? You know, I went to a conference this week with the old IFB 01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:31.760 Do you think I was sitting there picking them apart? 01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:36.950 Do you think I was sitting there every single time the preacher said something I didn't a hundred percent agree with that 01:26:36.950 --> 01:26:38.920 I'm just thinking well this guy 01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:46.080 Just like hey, you know, praise God for these men.

Hey, don't go speaking against men of God 01:27:13.070 --> 01:27:18.840 Be very careful how you treat how you speak to and how you speak of men of God 01:27:18.840 --> 01:27:27.340 It says in verse 9 and the anger of the Lord was kindled against them and he departed and the cloud departed from off 01:27:27.340 --> 01:27:29.280 The tabernacle and behold Miriam became leprous 01:27:29.280 --> 01:27:34.370 Why does snow and Aaron looked upon Miriam and became behold she was left leprous a Miriam? 01:27:34.370 --> 01:27:39.390 You can't prosper you go against the man of God.

Hey against an elder receive not an accusation 01:27:50.140 --> 01:27:57.000 But before two or three witnesses and then that sin rebuked before all that others may also what fear fear 01:27:57.000 --> 01:28:02.560 Go back to 2nd Chronicles 24 2nd Chronicles chapter number 24 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:16.600 2nd Chronicles 24 notice what happens to Joash in verse 23 and it came to pass at the end of the year that the host 01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:21.550 Of Syria came up against him and they came to Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the princes of the people 01:28:21.550 --> 01:28:25.830 From among the people and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus 01:28:25.830 --> 01:28:33.980 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men and the Lord delivered a very great host into their hand 01:28:34.100 --> 01:28:40.060 Because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joe ash 01:28:40.060 --> 01:28:47.130 Never ever ever think that you've gotten so big you've gotten so powerful. You've gotten so rich 01:28:47.130 --> 01:28:50.570 You've gotten so enlarged that you no longer need to fear God 01:28:50.570 --> 01:28:56.070 Let me tell you something you always need to fear God and let me tell you it doesn't matter how big a church is 01:28:56.070 --> 01:29:00.420 How much money they have how much clout they have how much influence they have? 01:29:00.540 --> 01:29:07.870 They always need to fear God and you know, it doesn't matter to what great heights a pastor achieves and how much work 01:29:07.870 --> 01:29:12.190 He's done for God and how many great sermons he's preached in the fast in the past 01:29:12.190 --> 01:29:14.720 He always has to fear God going forward 01:29:14.720 --> 01:29:21.460 You always have to fear God verse 25 and when they were departed from him for they left him in great diseases 01:29:21.460 --> 01:29:27.220 His own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoi to the priest and slew him on his bed 01:29:27.220 --> 01:29:33.350 And he died they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchers of the Kings boy 01:29:33.350 --> 01:29:40.510 What a happy uplifting chapter that was right, but this is life. This is the real ugly nitty-gritty reality of life 01:29:40.510 --> 01:29:44.650 Hey, he that increase of knowledge increase of sorrow when you know what the Bible says 01:29:44.650 --> 01:29:50.660 What did I say you could watch people in real time destroying their life and that brings some sorrow along with it 01:29:50.660 --> 01:29:55.120 No, it doesn't it. It's like Joe Ash you idiot. Why didn't you just listen? Why did you just repent? 01:29:55.120 --> 01:30:00.370 Why didn't you just stop? Why did you forsake the house of God? Why did you serve idols? 01:30:00.370 --> 01:30:05.560 Why did you go in the groves? Why did you attack the man of God? Why did you kill the man of God now? 01:30:05.560 --> 01:30:12.000 You're dead the end moving on the end of his life. What do we need to do number one? 01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:13.630 You better start fearing God today 01:30:13.630 --> 01:30:16.010 You better start fearing God 01:30:16.010 --> 01:30:22.990 Proverbs 20 14 says happy is the man that feareth always but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief 01:30:22.990 --> 01:30:31.220 You will live a happy life if you are walking always in the fear of God you ought to be terrified of God if this 01:30:31.220 --> 01:30:39.330 Situation should teach you one thing it should teach you that you better be scared of God and that God is watching and that God 01:30:39.330 --> 01:30:45.040 Is listening and that God is gonna obviously stand by the truth.
