Let me be an oracle of God and I pray Lord that you'd give us hearing ears to hear and that the word of the Lord will go deep into our spirit and we will be changed by the word.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. Lord we're hearing the word and as we hear it let it produce faith in us. God there are people here this morning, my Heavenly Father, that are living in terrible fears just flooded with fears and we pray Lord that you show them how to get victory to overcome those fears in Jesus name that when the service is finished this morning through the power of the word and the Holy Ghost making it alive nobody will leave here bound by fear.

The Spirit of Fear and Its Destructive Power

Break the chains of fear. Hallelujah. Holy Ghost come down on this meeting now let in a special way that we may hear and understand your word in Jesus name Amen. Overcoming the spirit of fear. Fear I believe is one of the most destructive forces on the face of the earth.

In fact fear is Satan's most powerful weapon against God's children. You know that he's come against you many many times. The Prophet Isaiah predicted in the last days fear and the pit and the snare will come all come upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

Isaiah 24 17. Then he added these words he said it shall come to pass that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit and he that comes out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. And here's what the Prophet saw.

He saw multitudes in the last days living in a prison of fear in pits of despair and snared in trouble and sorrow as no other generation. And the pit in Hebrew means a personal living hell and the snare means a trapped feeling.

And Isaiah is looking at our day and nothing describes our time better than that. Here are people who have the most prosperity and material goods of any generation and yet they talk about living in a living hell.

They talk about being in a hell. They live in constant fear. We have people that are more mobile than any other generation. We have ability to go all over the world. There's more freedom personal freedom than any other time and yet we have people saying I feel trapped.

Beloved there is a flood absolute flood of fear upon the world today. In Deuteronomy 28 God enumerates the many curses that come upon idolatrous people and we are an idolatrous generation. And here is one of the curses enumerated in Deuteronomy 28.

The Lord shall give you a trembling heart and failing of the eyes sorrow of mind and you shall live in fear night and day. That's part of the curse of idolatry. That's the curse on the United States right now and all other modern societies on the face of the earth that have forgotten God.

We have removed God from our schools from our courts. In Alabama right now there's a fight with a federal with one of the judges because he's got a carving over his at the back of his desk with the Ten Commandments and the federal government's trying to have that removed and they're trying to sue him.

Thank God the governor said if I have to I'm going to have troops outside. The army is going to have to fight us to get it down. But you know there there is there is a because of this godlessness the Lord says the curse that comes upon your idolatry and your God forsakingness he said you're going to live in fear night and day constantly.

Isaiah warned the enemy shall come in then like a flood and we see that happening. Daniel prophesying about the last day said and the end thereof shall be with a flood. The end of time is going to close with a flood and we'll talk about how the devil is going to send that flood out against the church.

Now we know that Satan's a robber he's a thief. He's trying to rob the whole world of all peace. He's a destroyer and he wants to bring absolute chaos. He wants to bring fear and anxiety and perplexity upon the whole earth.

In fact the Bible's Jesus said in the last days men's hearts would what? Failing for fear watching those things coming upon the earth. Fear and perplexity on all side. Picked up the New York Times on Wednesday and let me give you just a few of the causes of fear sweeping the world today.

This is March 14th. Jordanian soldiers kill seven Israeli schoolgirls. I'm sure you read about it. The shooting took place in a patch of land that's shared both by Jews and Arabs. It's a neutral ground and ironically it's called the island of peace.

And in this little island of peace a busload of schoolgirls Israeli schoolgirls get out there taking pictures. They're being taught about nature and suddenly a wild Jordanian gunman with a k -47 comes and starts mowing them.

Killed seven girls and wounded seven others. And the picture there is of their schoolmates rolling on the ground, groaning and screaming in grief at the sight of their schoolmates being killed. And all of Israel is in fear.

Jordanians are in fear. The Jordanian president has apologized but the Jordanians now feel fear retaliation and so the whole Mideast right now is in fear. The same day on the front page, New York Times, March 14, fear strikes Albania and the capital city Tyrrhenia is crumbling.

It's fallen into anarchy. The whole nation suddenly overnight has gone into anarchy. The authorities have flung open the weapons storehouses and they're giving guns and ammunition free to the citizens and people are shooting in all directions.

People are afraid to leave their homes. They have broken down all of the warehouses and stolen the food and people walking with hundred-pound packs of sacks of flour and they're locking themselves into their homes and people are afraid to go out of their houses trying to just survive it.

Army tanks in the streets. The whole nation of Albania, a whole nation overnight goes into terror and anarchy overnight. Fear, the Bible says, coming on all sides like a flood. It's just a flood came into Albania overnight and now people who used to sit together and work together are shooting one another.

Over 50 have been killed, I understand. The same page, you see, this is one newspaper one day and you get it every day. The causes of fear. Here's from page four, the French police arrested 250 men linked to a child pornography ring.

Fear has gripped all of France. Shock, indignation, because the police confiscated 5 ,000 videocassettes featuring child molestation. The 250 that were jailed included two school principals, two teachers, and the others were workers with children.

And fear has come upon the people because all walks of life were involved. Most of the people involved in making the films, producing them, and distributing them were all professionals. And there's fear now because so many children have been kidnapped and being used in these films.

Child molestation. The whole nation is shocked and indignant overnight. A nation plunged into fear. Jesus summed it all up. Upon the earth distress with perplexity and men's hearts failing them for fear.

The Flood of Deception Against the Church

In the New Testament, the Bible said the church is likened to a woman, a bride. And the Bible says it very clear in Revelation 12 15. The serpent shall cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

And according to the scripture, this flood is going to be against the Holy Remnant, against God's chosen people, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Now how is the devil going to do that?

The Bible says he's going to cast out of his mouth a flood. This is a flood of lies. A flood of lies against the church of Jesus Christ, against everyone who is a follower of Christ and those who walk under the anointing of the Holy Ghost.

And beloved, you can get ready. There is a flood coming. You're going to have Satan come against you in these last days, especially if you're part of the Holy Remnant. You have a heart set for God. You're seeking his face with everything in you.

You're a marked person and he's going to cast out of his mouth, the Bible says, against the remnant, against the bride, against this woman taken into the wilderness. He's going to spit out of his mouth a flood, trying to carry you away.

He's going to try to carry you away in a flood of fears based on his lies. And we'll talk about that today. Jesus said, let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid. And when you go into the New Testament, you'll find Jesus trying to encourage us not to be afraid, no matter what the devil tries to send.

He said, fear not, be not afraid, fear not little flock. All through the New Testament, all through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, you'll hear Jesus say, don't be afraid, fear not, don't be troubled. My little flock, don't you find it all through the epistles.

The Holy Ghost speaking to his church, don't be afraid. But sadly and truly, there are many Christians that live just as fearfully as those they work with who are not saved. There is as much fear in some churches among some Christians as there is out there on the streets.

Jesus said, we're not to fear what the world fears. Isaiah said, don't let their fear be your fear. Don't let their dread be your dread. Let the Lord be your fear and let your Lord be your dread. But you're not to fear their kind of fear.

Jesus said, don't take any thought what you eat, what you shall drink, or what you shall wear. He said, those are the fears of the Gentiles. But he said, not you. Your father knows how to take care of you.

He's taking care of the lilies. Those fears are not to be in your heart. You're not to fear the loss of the economy. You're not to fear unemployment. You're not to fear anything having to do with food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof over your head.

You're not to fear those things. Those are the fears of the world. They fear social unrest. They feel economic collapse. They fear all of these things, losing their job. Everyone around you is afraid of losing their job.

That should not be your fear. We have many people that have been unemployed. God's given them new jobs. He's provided all through their unemployment. They've never missed a meal. Never missed a meal. That is not your fear.

That is not my fear. The Lord said, you're not. He said, neither fear ye their fears, nor be afraid. Let him be your fear and let him be your dread. But we as Christians have our own kinds of fears. I want to talk just about two of those kinds of fears.

There are many of them. I could go on to the fear of man and so many personal fears, but I want to talk about two fears in particular. If you really love Jesus with all your heart, there's a perplexity that is sweeping the whole church world.

Tremendous perplexity about infiltrators, deceivers that have come into the house of God to destroy. If you love the Lord, you have got to be astounded, amazed, and hurt, and grieved at what you see and hear is creeping into the church of Jesus Christ under the name of the Holy Ghost or under the name of revival.

And there's fear and perplexity. I have people from all the United States send me tapes now. I get letters and they say, Pastor Dave, please, you've got to tell us whether this is of God or whether this is the devil or of the flesh.

We don't know. The Bible says there's no prophet among them anymore. There are no prophets out there that's standing up and exposing that which is the flesh and the devil. And so people write and they say, could you tell us?

And they send us tapes and I look at these tapes and I can't believe what I see. On one tape this past week, I look at a charismatic church. This is supposed to be a great revival and I see people in the front of the church and up and down the aisles on all fours with a dog leash around their neck and somebody holding the leash and he's crawling around on all floors.

There's one over here, one over here. They're crawling around on dog leashes and the congregation is saying, where he leads me, I will follow. As if if the Holy Ghost is the dog. Jesus is the dog. And I look at the people and I listen to the woman who's leading this and she said, this is revival.

Two of the leaders of the laughing revival. If I named them you would be shocked. Right on the tape. I saw it, Pastor Carter saw it. They are on stage before thousands of people and they are telling jokes to one another in tongues.

Laughing, their eyes open, slapping each other on the back. And I say to myself, where is all the discernment? Look at those hundreds and hundreds of people clapping, laughing, blaspheming the Holy Ghost.

Blaspheming. Another account just came to me this just two, three days ago. Here's a woman in one of the well-known revivals and she gets up and she's shaking uncontrollably and the pastor's interviewing her and and she is saying, this is a new work of the Holy Spirit.

This shaking, he's going to shake everybody because the new work of the Holy Spirit is come now to shake out sin. And I'm sitting there and there are Pentecostal and even Assembly God pastors sitting there and friends of mine that I know and a whole congregation going crazy and I'm saying to myself, wait a minute, I'm screaming inside.

Wait a minute. Doesn't anybody hear what she said? The Holy Ghost is going to shake out sin. Where is the blood? Sin is not shaken out, it's blotted out by the blood of Jesus Christ. This past week, Life magazine has a story of the church that I'm familiar with, San Francisco Glide Memorial United Methodist Church.

The pastor has just removed the cross from the sanctuary because he calls it offensive. Pastor Cecil Williams said, I am convinced the cross will not save humanity. Humanity will redeem the cross. In fact, you and I are the cross, he said.

The church has psychedelic happenings. Drag queens and Jews and atheists feel very comfortable sitting because they have no doctrine, no dogma. The babies are baptized in the name of the fathers and mothers and humanity and their street workers and evangelists go out passing out condoms and they are so packed you can't get a seat.

Beloved, it's going to get worse. We are going to see and hear of the most bizarre, wicked, vile things and all called in the name of Jesus Christ, all called an awakening of the Spirit. Go to Psalm 74 quickly, please.

Psalm 74, I'm going to show you something. This has all been prophesied. Psalm 74. Folks, I've been preaching this particular text that I'm leading you to now, showing you I've been preaching this for 15 years.

I started prophesying about this 15 years ago. Start in verse 4, Psalm 74, verse 4. Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations. They set up their enzymes for signs. They move right into the house of God and set up their program.

A In other words, the most famous among them are going to be those with an axe in hand and a hammer. But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. That's everything that was sacred, everything that was holy, carved out by years of true doctrine, years of the workings of the Holy Spirit.

Here these men come in with their axes and their hammers and they start chopping. They have cast fire into the sanctuary. They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of the name to the, of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, let us destroy them together. They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. We see not our signs. There's no more profit. Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

Hey folks, look at me, please. This is where we're at right now in the United States and around the world. We have infiltrators. We have false prophets. Didn't the Lord warn us that there would come false Christ?

There would come angels of light. There would be doctrines of demons. And folks, that is what we see now. Doctrines of demons and people. It's good. There's going to be such a confused picture of Jesus.

There's going to be a Jesus created that's just like man, that he can joke. He has no burden, but he laughs. This is going to be a Jesus that can be accepted even by the Antichrist. David asked what people have been asking me.

I've had numbers say recently, Pastor David, how long do you think God's going to put up with all this foolishness? And that's what it is. It's plain foolishness. If it's not, in some areas where it's not deception, or whether it's not blasphemy, it's utter silly foolishness.

The charismatic circus. And people have said, how long is God going to put up with it? When is he going to deal with the leaders? When is he going to deal with these blinded shepherds? David asked the same question.

Oh God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever? Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached you, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtle dove into the multitude of the wicked. Forget not the congregation of thy poor. David cried out, O God, how long? And beloved, that is the perplexity. It's not so much a fear, but a perplexity that is sweeping over the holy remnant, the grief of God, the pain that so many feel.

You know, I can tell when people are really walking in the Holy Ghost and have intimacy with Jesus, and are walking fully in the discerning eye of the Holy Ghost, because when they see and hear these things, they bow their head and they begin to cry silently.

They feel the pain of God. And then others, I see, they'll watch some of this stuff and they say, isn't that wonderful? Because they perk up because they want to see something exciting. They're not satisfied in Jesus.

And the first thing, I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what, how God must feel the grief. And then I see another preacher be sitting there by watching the same thing. Not any of our staff, but I've seen this literally.

They're saying to themselves, I'm going to get on a plane. I'm going right there. I'm going to see it. Where is the discernment, the absolute discernment? Let me tell you why I believe so many Christians are being so easily deceived.

Neglect of Prayer and Scripture as the Root of Deception

Let me tell you why. And if you'll hear me now in the Spirit, you need never again in your lifetime with Christ ever fear deception. I know many of you have that fear. I have a number of people write to me and say, well, I don't want to be deceived.

And they have a fear that their pastor will bring something in. This is what happens. I'm afraid my pastor will bring something in and try to convince me it's of God. And we have pastors that get up suddenly and say, everything is changing in this church.

And overnight they bring it in. But let me tell you something. If you're visiting, whether you're from this church or any other church, let me tell you how people are deceived. And if you will hear it, you need never fear deception again in your lifetime.

Listen, please. Deception is the curse upon those who have habitually neglected prayer and the Word of God. The leaders of these aberrations, the leaders of all of these false things that are happening, are not men of prayer.

You'll find them on a golf course. You'll find them gadding about, but you won't find them shut in the secret place. And they've been given over to this because they turned away from the Holy of Holies and they've gone into the flesh.

They are not men of prayer. They don't know their Bibles because they're not into the Bible. They don't take time with the Word. They're on their motorcycles. They're in their cars. They're gadding about.

They eat most of the time and they don't have the anointing. They don't have the touch of God. And so they get up and they attract people like themselves, those who habitually, who have a habit of neglecting God and His Word.

Let me tell you something. There are people in this church hearing me right now, balcony, all around me. Not one time last week did you open your Bible. Not one half hour did you shut yourself in with Jesus to get to know Him better and to love Him and just share with Him.

There are some of you have developed a habit. You don't even know how. No amount of preaching to this pulpit, no amount of Holy Ghost conviction is going to change you because you don't have a drug habit.

You don't have a smoking habit. You don't have an alcohol habit, but you have a habit of neglect. It has become a habit and you don't know how to break it. You do not read the Word of God. You are not a student of this book.

You don't go through the book of Psalms. You don't go through the Gospels. You don't go here to look for Jesus. You don't have your Bible underlined. You're not pouring into this book. It sits there. It's not opened.

And you think, I will, I will, but you don't. You have time for television. You have time for everything else, but you don't read your book. You don't pray. And some of the only contact you have with Jesus is here at Times Square Church.

You come here, you get to say, well, I get, I get, I'll come to all three services. That gives me three hours with the Lord or two hour services. That gives me six hours a day on Sunday. I spend six hours with Jesus.

I spend two hours Tuesday night. I go to prayer meeting. That's the only contact you have. That's not enough. And I'll tell you what, you continue on that way and sooner or later, deception is going to come in.

You're going to be deceived. You're going to turn to the flesh. What really bothered, what, what, what really grieves me, there are some of you, and I'm going to say it as lovingly as I know how, but it has to be said.

I talk to you as a pastor now, and I'm going to talk to you with this greatest love that a spiritual father can give you. Some of you have been sitting here for three, four, five years. Some of them, maybe just a year.

You gave your heart to Jesus. You love him. You weep. You cry. You praise the Lord. Then you go right out the door. You light up a cigarette. You're blowing smoke in Jesus' face. And some of you are still drinking.

This church takes a stand against smoking, against drinking, against pornography, against sexual perversions and sins and adultery and fornication. I accidentally bumped into a few of you this week with the cigarette in your, your hand.

You're, I didn't condemn you. I didn't put you down. I'm saying, why aren't you trusting God for victory, to be the testimony? It's not a testimony for you to come out these doors and stand out there smoking.

By the way, if you're going to light up, go at least five blocks away from the church, please. You tell me you love Jesus. He's Lord of your life. You're still drinking. Because you see, if you hold on to your cigarettes, you hold on to these things, you're still giving the devil place in your heart.

And that's going to lead you right on down till finally you go all the way back to your old ways. And you can't be healed of any emotional problem until you're healed of these physical habits. Those have to go first and then will come your other healings that you need in your life.

Was that loving enough? My people have forgotten me days without number. Now, many of you are familiar with that verse, my people forgotten me days without number. But have you ever looked in the next verse, the curse that goes with that?

And this is why you see people running all over the nation looking for something for the flesh. Why gaddest thou about so much to change your ways? Why do you gad about? He said, if you're not going to seek me with all your heart, if you're not going to be anchored in my word, you're going to become a gadabout.

And you're going to go out seeking for something. And then Hosea, the 12th chapter, first verse, the curse is fully explained. He said, Ephraim feeds on wind and follows after the east wind. The east means cultic.

In fact, that's the, that, that is the connotation of east in Greek or rather in Hebrew. All the Eastern cults, Taoism, Hinduism, all the gurus and swamis.

Come from the east. He said, you're going to chase the exotic. This is the end of side one. You may now.

Turn the tape over to side two. You're going to become a gadabout. The wind is going to carry you about for every wind and wave of doctrine. And he said, you're going to chase the east wind. You're going to go to mysticism.

You're going to go to all of these things. Folks, I beg you in the name of the Lord, get into the word and get anchored. Not just hearing sermons in church, but get into this book. Get your soul anchored so that all the winds and waves of doctrine, you'll have your own discernment.

You don't need a preacher or prophet. You have it your own. You'll know it. Get on your knees before God and ask him to reveal that which is holy and that which is profane. Glory to God. Lord wants a people that are strong in these last days.

Fear of Falling Into Sin

Second fear that I want to deal with is the fear of falling into sin. The fear of failing God after all the striving and the struggle to be a Christian, that somehow in the end I will fail. And this is a fear that's very prevalent.

Recently, I had a young minister who'd been saved from drugs for 15 years come to my office. And he said, Brother Dave, see this young man had been saved through our ministry to drug addicts. And he had a ministry to drug addicts and alcoholics, very successful, both he and his wife very active in it.

And he said, I had to come to tell you face to face. I didn't want to hear you to hear it from anybody else. But he said, I'm back on heroin. And he said, I've been on heroin for a year while I'm still in my ministry, but I couldn't live that double life.

He said, I've lost that ministry. And he said, I just had to sit here face to face. I love this young man. I've loved him and ministered with him for many, many years. Precious young man. He's probably near 50 years of age now.

I've helped him, loved him. I didn't condemn him. I said, I love you just as much as I did before I knew this. He said, pastor, the hard part now is I have to go home today. Tell my 16 year old son that his dad hooked again on heroin, went back to heroin.

He said, and then this afternoon or tomorrow, I have to go to all my men, former drug addicts in my program. And I've got to tell him that their shepherd has fallen. Now, I know the pain. He just wept, concerned about his son.

And I know, I know that those men in his program will forgive him. I know they'll say, God bless you for being honest. But I know one thing, everyone I'm going to be thinking, everyone they're going to say to themselves, if my shepherd can't make it, how am I going to make it?

It's going to bring fear on all of those men. They're going to be absolutely afraid. And I begin to pray in my spirit, Oh God, keep by your spirit, keep by your power. But see, there's a fear of falling.

And the Bible predicts in the last days, there'll come a falling away, a great falling away. And we're seeing that falling away. I've been preaching since I was a boy. And I'll tell you, I have never seen so many people falling as there are now.

Ministers, ministers' wives, Christians who've walked with God for years, are failing and falling in later years. Many of them in their 60s, some of them in their 70s, who spent a lifetime, and now they're turning back to their old ways, suddenly just gone.

This past week, I'm absolutely shocked that some of my friends and acquaintances have been in ministry for years, and some that I have helped and prayed with, and many saved under our ministry, and now they're tottering, wondering if they're even going to serve the Lord anymore.

And this has brought a fear to so many people. When some of the famous evangelists went down, I remember one night we were down at the other theater, down at the Nederlander theater, and I had to get up and announce, because I had just been informed that the second evangelist was going to be exposed that night on Ted Koppel's show, because Mr. Koppel's director had called me just a few hours before the service.

And I had to get up, and some of you were there, and I said, tonight some of you are going to be blown away, but I have to warn you and tell you that at 10 o 'clock tonight, you're going to hear of one of America's most famous evangelists being exposed.

And there was wailing, there was crying, there was weeping on all side, and after the service, I went in the lobby, and I was bombarded. One man said, no, he said, I sold my house to help that man. I've spent thousands of dollars, don't tell me.

Then he raised his hand, he said, who can make it then? Who's going to make it if famous evangelists are not going to make it? How am I exposed? How am I exposed? I heard that that night everywhere. How do I make it, brother?

How do I make it? I said, look, all of us have not fallen. I said, get your eyes on Jesus, don't get your eyes on man, get your eyes on the Lord. But you're going to hear more and more of that. Let me talk to you about that fear that some of you have here right now, the fear of failing God, the fear many of you have of not measuring up to God, the fear that somehow the enemy in this flood that's coming is going to carry you away, and that you'll fail God in the last moment.

Let me give you God's desire for you, first of all, that He would grant unto us, this is Luke 2, 74 and 75, that He would grant unto us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

Now look at me, please. God's desire for every one of us is that we live the Christian life without any fear, all the days of our life, to walk in holiness and righteousness without fear. Fear has torment, and the devil can get you afraid, afraid of man, afraid of falling, afraid that the church is going to collapse, afraid that the deceptions are going to sweep you away.

No, no, no, no. He said His plan for every one of us is that we live without fear all the days of our life. That's His plan. He said, I'm not giving you the spirit of fear. My desire is to give you holiness and righteousness by faith, so you can live out your days without fear.

The Lord Reigns Over the Flood

But now let me come to the key in the heart of my message. It's I need just a few moments to bring you to the heart of what I want to say to you, how to overcome these fears and perplexities. I want you to go with me to Psalm 93.

You're still with me, aren't you? Psalm 93. Beloved, I was, this past week, I was contemplating this message and thinking of all the things that are happening and all the fearful, fearful things that are sweeping in.

And folks, just on Monday, I got 7 ,500 letters. On one day, 7 ,500, because our Met English now is near 800 ,000. And just Monday, there were 7 ,500 pieces of mail, and most of them a letter, a note, many, many of them with letters and notes.

And sometimes in one week, 15 ,000. And this fear that has gripped people. And when I read many of these letters, I thought, oh God, there has to be something that you give us. I want you to give me something.

And I, this is just a few nights ago, and I was about midnight, about to go to bed, and the Holy Ghost spoke to me. Clearly, not an audible voice, but that wonderful, still, small voice, and said, David, the answer is in Psalm 93.

I'm going to give you the key so that you don't ever be afraid about my church. It's my church, and I'm going to take care of it, and I'm going to move when I have to move, and I'm going to do what I have to do, and you're not to be afraid of my church.

I'll purge it when I want to purge it. I'll clean it up when I'm ready to clean it up. You don't have to be afraid of that. But to give the people, and for your own self, a simple picture. God, I'm so stupid up here.
