Praise the Lord, welcome to God's Place, Port of Jesus's ministry. It's an honor to be here today, and the presence of God, my beautiful wife, Shannon. And we're here to serve, we're here to share the word of God. And the topic today is gonna be about the saved deception.
And myself, I was raised up in the Baba's Church, and I was praise the Lord the first time, so I'd let me to order and ask me if I wanna go and got down and said, repeat these words after me. And of course, you ask God, come here, heart and save you. And then they tell you, okay, you're saved, you're believing Jesus. Well, later on in the life, I end up in the world, and well, I never actually left the world, because see, the Bible says in John 44 that you must be drawn by the Spirit in order to come to the Father.
So you can't just really take somebody by the hand and get them saved, they must be drawn by the Spirit. God has got to draw these folks, and that's the reason today that we have so many people that thinks they're saved, and this reason today that the Bible speaks about in the last days, it'll be a great following away. And that's what we see today, you see, people that don't wanna go to church anymore, and the reason they don't wanna go to church, what you hear, number one thing that you hear is because of all the hypocrites. And it's a shame, but it's true.
And people's been hurt in church or so much bad things happening in churches, and churches are changing, and there was a lot of churches that God's not, and He's not in a lot of churches today. There's some churches that has gay not, and they condone the fact that I know there's a lesbian church, and look, I'm not here to condemn anybody. Jesus seen a sin, and the sins that I committed was no, all sin is equal, and Jesus, He come to die for a sin, and He come to save us from her sins, He come to seek, and to save those who are lost. But the world has gotten so far away from the Word of God, and it's just amazing churches today.
It's a lot of churches don't have other calls. Most churches don't preach about repentance, they don't preach about hell and commandments, and that's amazing. Don't preach about salvation. There's a lot of churches about the Sabbath.
Praise God, that's a good topic. And it's sad, I mean, a lot of churches come country clubs, I mean, you go in and there's entertainment, and some churches are operating just by a satellite, God told me the day before yesterday, He goes in and watches a preacher on satellite, well, but listen, we have got to get down to the fundamentals of what God has called us to do. It amazes me, you think about the book of the New Testament, how Jesus, how He preached, and Jesus preached hard, and He preached about hell when He did heaven. And let me explain the reason He did is because He loves people, amen?
And He wanted people to know the truth. If you truly loved somebody, if you seen them, that was about to drive over a cliff, then you would warn that brother. And that's what God wants to do today. He wants to warn people that his ways, and his ways is not our ways, and that's the problem that people has changed the Word of God and the rules of God, in trying to live their own ways.
The Bible says in the book of Romans in chapter 10, verse two, being ignorant of God's righteousness. The people go about and establish their own righteousness because they never submitted or self to the righteous of God. You know, we waver in what we should do, and you mentioned again, the Sabbath is one of the huge things that people's not keeping anymore. The Lord spoke to me one more and about three o'clock, and told me, go warn everybody I could about the true Sabbath day.
When Jesus took Moses up on the mountain, he wrote the 10 commandments, and he put them in stone, he wrote them with his own finger. And that was just to say that these commandments, they're supposed to be kept. And so, you know, in eight out of 10, it says, now shall not covenant, now shall not bear false witness, now shall not murder, now shall not, you know, praise God, now shall not, now shall not, but number four says, remember this Sabbath, and keep it holy. The only one out of 10 says, remember, and the reason he wrote, remember that one, because he knew men would change you.
Most people know back in the praise God, and years ago, people honored the true Sabbath. What is the true Sabbath? Well, it's actually on Saturday, it starts from Friday night Sunday on, the Saturday night Sunday on Sunday, and some of you folks out there thinking, well, there are seven day evangelist people. No, I'm not, you know, I've never been to the seven day evangelist church in my whole life.
I'm a God lover and a Jesus follower. I believe that the fact that we separate ourselves into denominations, I believe that's totally against God. The Bible says he that is in Christ is in one spirit, let there be no division among you. And you know, I've got some scriptures written down here at the Florida's Gaming, in 1st Corinthians chapter 6, verse 9, said, no you not, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God, be not deceived, neither of only cater to idolater, and altars, effeminate, nor abusers of themselves, with mankind or thieves, nor covets, nor drunken, and revealers, extortions, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
He says, be not deceived, amen. I did a recession on the church yesterday, and it was a Baptist preacher that, you know, he says, I believe won't saved, I always saved. But you know, it's sad because, you know, God said the perfect example, no, is that there was only eight people that made it, eight people that got on that arc of, there was a population of 10 trillion people up on earth back in Noah's day. Today there's 7.4 billion.
It's not populated like it was, it's there's fewer people now, and back then there's only eight people. And so, you know, it don't even make sense that we can ask God to come in our heart and save us from sin. And the Bible says in Romans 6, 1, he said, now grace be a balance, we continue to see him. God forbid, God says be not deceived.
In Titus 3, 3, he said, for we ourselves also were sometimes foolish and disobedient. The seed, serving, diver, lust, and pleasures, living in malice, and any hateful, hating one another. They were around 11, 16. Take heed of yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and turn aside, and serve other gods and worship them.
God is telling us to be not deceived. And he said in Luke 21, 8, he said, take heed that you be not deceived. Many shall come to my name, say that I am Christ. And the time draweth near, go there for after them.
He says, go not after them. You know, in Titus chapter 1 verse 15 and 16, he said unto the pure, all things appear. But unto them that are defiled and unbelieving, there is nothing pure. But even their minds is defiled.
They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny Him. Amen, He's just been disobedient. Amen, amen. James 1, 22, be the doers of the word, not just here is only praise God.
In the second Corinthians 11, 14, he says, for Satan himself is transformed in angel of life. You know, the Bible says in the book of the chapter 2 verse 10, he said, I'll deceive a witness in unrighteousness in them that perish because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved. For this cause, God shall send them a strong delusion and they should believe a lie. And they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.
That sums it up right there. The Bible said that God will send a strong delusion, not the devil and the reason that he will send a strong delusion, because he never comes to the love of the truth. And the truth of it is, when we ask God to save us, you know, when we're truly John 3-3, he said, veryly I say unto you that you must be born again. Then that means that our life don't belong to us anymore.
And that's what we need to teach people, is they come to the altar. And if they're drawn by the Spirit, I never try to drag somebody to the altar. Unless the Lord will lead me and I see the Spirit of God, I speak to conviction, and then I'll speak to them and ask them, you know, just because somebody wants them to get saved, I'm not gonna drag somebody up there. You can't do it, you can't be saved cause mama wants you to get saved, or boyfriend, or girlfriend, or kids, or husband, or wife.
You've got to be drawn by the Spirit. And then once they're drawn and they ask God to come in their heart and, you know, they believe in their heart and the confesser sins, ask God to save them, then we have got to teach these people that now their life no longer belongs to them. They're bought with a price, and the Bible says, you're bought with a price, in 1st Corinthians 620, he says, you're bought with a price glorifying me in your body, in your spirit. And you know, that's strong because a lot of Christians, you don't see too many Christians, it's really glorifying God in their spirit.
You know, most of Christians praise the Lord, they so-called Christians, they walk around with a frown on their face, some of them's hateful. I mean, it's horrible. You know, what, you know, this is a nocturnal sea, it's supposed to be the Bible belt, and I've heard it before, somebody said, well, it's been unbuckled. And so it's time for people, real men and women of God, to stand up and set an example on the fruits of the love of God, the fruits of God, the joy, the love, the happiness and peace.
And the biggest reason that a lot of people has been deceived is because of false prophets. You know, the Bible says, you know, the book of Luke chapter 12 verse 24, he says, I might be starting in 24, he said, it's drive to enter in, he said, many will seek and will not be able because of the nickels, the sins and the lies. You know, he tells you, in the book of second Peter chapter two verse one, he said, there were false prophets also among the people, even as they shall be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying that the Lord that brought them out upon themselves swift destruction, and many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason and move the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. Matthew chapter seven verse 15, he said, be wire false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing and rewardingly they are raving wolves, amen.
He says in Matthew 24, 24, there should be a rise false Christ, false prophets, and show great signs and wonders in so much that if it were possible, they shall deceive a very alike, amen. So God warns us about these false prophets and these people that tell you that you can get saved and you're okay, that you can live any way you want to, because let me tell you something, if you're truly saved, see that means that you don't live a sinful life no more. The Bible says, hey, in 1 John 3 8, the sin is of the devil. The purpose of the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
You know, right here in Malachi chapter two verse 17, he says, you have weird the Lord with your ways, with your words, yet you say everyone that does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he'd alight of them, he says, where is it God of judgment, amen. And so, you know, I heard it the other day, that Christ that God don't see our sins because of blood of Christ. That's not true, God does see our sins. And you know what, he was to son, die on that cross.
He was to be tormented up on that cross that we can receive the Spirit of God, that we don't have to live a sinful life no more. Do I make mistakes? Absolutely. But I don't live a sinful life.
I don't sin every day and wake up and say, okay, we'll have a word for give me, we'll have a word for give me, repent means turn to God, turn away from your sins, amen, and don't go back to it. Yeah, praise the Lord. It's the sins that we know about, in Hebrews 1026, he said if you will, if we sin, after having the knowledge of truth, he said there's no more sacrifice for sin. You know, God gave the ultimate sacrifice and that was Jesus Christ.
He said back in Moses day, he said that's done to death under two or three witnesses. Amen. How much sore punishment? Who those who trotted under the foot of Son of God and come against the covenant of the blood.
Amen, there's no more sacrifice. So once we give our life to Christ, there's a spirit that we received, the Bible says that he was manifested to take away our sin. He was manifested to deliver us from sin. Second Peter two, nine, God knows how to deliver, the God that we're from temptation, and reserve the unjust to the dead, judgment be punished.
And so once we receive Christ, we have power over sin. The Bible says in Romans 614, the sin has no more dominion over you. And I'm a witness here today. I've been serving Lord for 14 years, for 14 years.
I hadn't been on drugs. I hadn't been drunk, I will in the spirit, but not by wine or alcohol. Amen. Praise the Lord, I hadn't, I mean, I don't live a sinful life.
I do make mistakes. Sometimes I've been praise the Lord, I've went to save it in a 55. And when the Holy Spirit lets me know about it, and praise the Lord, I'll repent and slow down. And there's been the time that I hadn't, and I've punished the chastis, I got punished for chastis, quickly.
Amen. But listen guys, we have got to set this example. The Bible says in 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 21, that Christ suffered and he died. To leave his example that we should follow his steps.
Amen with no sin or God in his mouth. We can do all things to Christ, which strengthens us. 1 John 4, 4, greater he is in me, as he is in the world. We'll 1 John chapter 2, verse 6 says that if we're biting him, he will bite in us and we'll walk as he walks.
But see, the scene is what's keeping God from abiding a lot of people, Acts 5, 32. The Lord said he will give his spirit to those who obey him. So again, when people come to the altar, if they don't give up their whole life, the bops that he did find his life will lose it. But he did loses his life, will find it.
And so in order to find life, in order to find life, Jesus's life, amen, he's way to true in the life. And no man will come to Father but by him. In order to receive Jesus Christ completely fully, the manifestation we have got to die ourselves. Paul said that he died daily, he died to his flesh.
He said in the book of Romans chapter 7 verse 16, he said, in my flesh, no good thing. Our righteous is filthy as rags, amen. But we've got to submit ourselves to the righteous of God. Romans 10, too, he said, been ignorant of God's righteousness.
We go about to establish our own righteousness because we've never submitted ourselves to the righteous of the Lord. And that's what we got to do. Our ways is not God's ways. His ways is higher than our ways because heaven is above earth.
And God, you know, there's so much more that is required from us that God's called us to do. Amen, the Bible says I said it in my segment. The Bible says it meaning he said that we'll have a form of godliness but they did not, the power thereof. And so, you know, me this year, it's a new year of praise God.
I'm looking for the manifestation that I've never seen before. I'm looking for the power of the Holy Spirit. You know, I look at Peter that he had so much power God upon him that he walked by and he shouted with you the people in the streets. Amen.
And so Jesus said, he that believed in me and the works I do, said they should do greater works because he'll go to the Father. Yes, I'm gonna add to that real quick. Yeah, we, you know, the Bible tells us to be ignorant of Satan's devices. And we've got to recognize that there is a devil and that Satan is, he comes in the spirit of deception, the spirit of lies, the spirit of wonders, the spirit of religion, the spirit of confusion.
And that's what he wants to do. You know, and the Bible tells us that when the word of God, it's planted on good ground that it would bring forth much fruit. You know, but a lot of times that word is, is sewed on in your heart and it's not took root. And you know, Satan, he comes to snatch the seed.
And that's what he's doing. He's seeking and he's devouring. You know, he's like a war line, he's seeking who he made a vower. And that's what he's trying to do.
And he's causing all these spirits and all these, these demons to come and plant these seeds, these bad seeds of the evil one. Cause you know, he's Satan is the father of lies. And that's what he wants to do. That's part of his deception and to see even others.
And you know, also the Bible tells us that Matthew 5, 8, only the pure and heart will see God. So no matter what preacher or what prophet tells you that, you know, grace were saved by grace, yes, and through faith. But any pastor or preacher that tells you that, because of grace, you can continue and sin. Like you said, God forbid.
God's grace doesn't give us the right to sin. God's grace gives us strength not to sin. You know, that's what his grace is for. The Bible tells us that the grace of God has appeared to all men and to salvation, to teaching us, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts that we should live soberly, rostically and godly in this present world.
And that's what the grace of God is. I mean, if you continue and sin, the Bible says that, you know, he that so's to the spirit will reap everlasting life, but he that so's to the flesh will reap corruption. And that's what you reap. You know, the Bible tells us that, you know, without holiness, no means shall see the Lord.
So that's the deception God has called you to be holy. God has called me to be holy, but you know, we've got to grow into that and only his spirit can sanctify us. And that's what the Bible tells us. You know, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
And he says that his word, it washes us. The truth for the word is the truth. And that's how we get sanctified. And also, you know, that spirit of Jesus, the Bible says that Jesus is the way in the life and the truth and no man can come the Father but by him.
Well, also that spirit's going to guide you in all truth is what he tells you. He will lead you in the spirit of truth and not the spirit of error, not that you're not going to make any mistakes, that you're not going to fall short because all I've seen it comes shortly glory of God. But you know, he's also give you scripture saying that you can do all things to cross with strength in you in Philippians 4th, 13th. And that's the mindset we're supposed to be in.
And you know, the Bible tells us that there's many false prophets. And Matthew 24, or 24, 5, he tells us that many will come in my name and deceive many, you know, for broad is the way that leads to destruction. Because, you know, that's all these denominations and churches that they're going on that broad way. And they're accommodating sin and they're allowing the things of God, you know, to be, to say that it's good, you know.
And even, you know, we've got to pray about our leaders as our president, you know, and vote against the ones that is coming against, you know, God's commandments, like thou shalt not murder. That is pro-choice, you know, candidate, that is okay for abortions and even up to, you know, nine months of pregnancy, you know, where, you know, all these things that we could be kind of like, you know, accessor to, you know, that if we can, if we can be a change, if we can be one vote away, we need to stand up as Christians. God doesn't want us to bow down to Satan and allow, you know, this world to be ruled by the devil, you know. And, because he is, he's the prince of this world, but Jesus, you know, he can change all that.
That's what we've got to pray for our leadership and our presidents and the false prophets as well, you know. And, you know, if you've got the word in your heart and you've got a relationship with God, his spirit's going to God, you know, truth also, that word is a lamp, you know, it's a lamp into your feet and a lot into your path. And, you know, it's, you're going to see where you're walking and God's going to lead you in the right direction. Amen, you know, it's, you know, the devil, he is powerful and he's, I mean, I don't want to give him any glory, but it's true, you know, the Bible sits an example.
When Pharaoh came, when Moses came to Pharaoh and he thought he was robbed and it turned into a snake, well, Moses said that's nothing. He said, I've got some witches here and they go, three rods down and all three of them became snakes. Well, but the thing about it is God's rod, the rod that God had made, ate up the three of snakes and pharaohs. And so I've, I've been in the service before and watch a preacher, a false prophet, I watched him do a miracle.
I mean, I watched him, you know, touch people and their pain would leave their back. But at the same time in the message, he was deceiving people by telling people that because of the covenant that we can be the way we want to, that we're okay. And so it's so important that you know the word of God. You know, it's not just a word, it's a living word.
It's, the Bible says in the beginning was the word and the word is with God and with God. Now see, if I hadn't of known the word of God, I would have been deceived because I would have listened to that man and the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2, 5, put your faith in not to wisdom of man, but the power of God. I would have said, well, he's of God, because he did this miracle. I've seen this miracle, but see the devil does miracles too.
And that's what he does. He does miracles to deceive people. And you know, hey, the devil can rake somebody from the dead. There's nothing he can't do.
You know, he has a lot of power and he's the prince of this world. Amen. He's a liar. He's the father of it.
And that's his main agenda is to destroy you. John, T&T, and he come to kill, steal and destroy. In Psalms 25, 14, God will reveal his secrets to those who fear him. Now again, you know, he takes the foolish things of the world, come through the wise.
When God called me to preach, I couldn't read. I never read a book in my life, but I was so hungry. And the Bible said, blessed see the hungers and thirst for my righteousness, they shall be filled. And so God started revealing all these stuff to me that don't line up with the way that the world is acting today and what the world is teaching today.
And but Romans 3-4 said, God be true in every mental liar. Amen. He said, if the gospel be here, it is here to those who are lost. Amen.
He says you know the tree by its fruit. You know the tree by its fruit that it bears. A good tree can't bear a good fruit, a bad fruit, a bad tree can't bear a good fruit. Amen.
So, you know, and people, I've heard pastors and leaders say, if you watch me, you'll see me mess up, you'll see me sin. We'll see. That's what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to walk with God.
I tell you, if you watch me, praise the Lord. And I may have, before I gave my life to Christ, I may have done you wrong. I did a lot of people wrong. And if you're out there today and you hear me, I repent.
I'm sorry, I apologize. If I ever done anything to you wrong, but since I gave my life to Christ, I tell you, I'm on truck. Please, if you see me sin, pray for me, call me. Not because I think I'm better than anybody, because I want to know if I'm doing something to get started.
You're being deceived. If I've been deceived, please help me. You know, I've had people call me. You're speeding.
Thank you, sir. God bless you. God, I had you to call me because I don't want to do anything. Why?
There's got to be a separation. You know, God's going to come back and he's going to separate the sheet from ago. Amen. And the biggest thing, one of the biggest thing is taking care of God's people.
Amen. He said, what you've done to the least of the is what you've done to me. He said, blessed he that considers the poor. They'll be delivered in the time of trouble.
And he said, our days will be the length of the length. Amen. He said, but if you stop your ears to the poor, he said, you'll also cry. And God will not hear you.
Amen. And so that's what God's place is all about. The poor, the homeless, we've got housing that God uses to bring people in. If they truly want, they're not halfway houses.
And that's what's wrong with this world today. We call our whole way houses. Amen. Everybody's what's wrong with the world today.
Everybody wants to halfway do it. Amen. We need to change the halfway houses and the whole way houses. Amen.
And teach them how to disciple these folks. Once they get saved, then praise God. If we leave them out in the wilderness, they can't fight off these spirits by themselves. They need help.
And listen, if you're out there today and you really love the Lord and you know God has called you to teach or to minister, then praise, we need help. The boss of the harvest of plenty, but the labor's are free. We don't need help, but God needs help. Ask you to pray for this ministry.
God knows all the needs. There's financial orders. Most of all, we worship. Amen.
