The Flesh & the Power of Darkness - Milton Green — From the Pulpit & Classic Sermons

Welcome to From the Pulpit and Classic Sermons. Each week we bring you a different message from some of history's greatest speakers in the Christian faith and powerful sermons for modern preachers too.

This week we have Milton Greene with his message, The Flesh and the Power of Darkness.

Sowing to the Flesh and Reaping Corruption

Right now, when you go ahead and you let your heart go to the lust of flesh, like I saw in the Unforgiveness of the Lord with Bob or, you know, Pride and these things like that. Now look what I'm doing.

I'm letting my heart turn from the Lord and the Spirit being led by the Spirit. And I'm letting my heart turn toward the lust of the flesh. Isn't that right? So when I do that, I'm sowing to the flesh.

Is that right? So when I'm sowing to the flesh, God said, you're going to reap. Because he's not mobbed. And the fact that you reap is that in that area, the hedge comes down and an enemy can come in on you.

And he wars against your mind, will, and emotions. Now do you see that? Shake your head. All right. Now, in verse 8,. For the one who sows to his own flesh, that's the way he's living, shall from the flesh reap what?

Now, do you remember what we read in 2 Peter 1? That through the Word and walking in the Word, and through these promises, we have a new walk. We no longer, we're not walking after the lust of it, but we've got a new nature.

Do you ever see them say, they say, well, that's just my nature. I can do anything. It's all right. I may act like a devil. No, you have a new nature. Through these promises, you have a divine nature and you escape the corruption of this world by lust, because the people that's in the lust of the world are puppets.

They're under control of the powers of darkness. The only way you get freedom of powers of darkness and their control over you is to die of the lust of the flesh. Is that strong? Now, that's the only way you can be.

And I don't care where it's front row, back row, platform. I'm telling you, you just fall after it, and fleshly sin strikes back at God's right to control your life, and it's an open door for the powers of darkness.

They can work in that any area that you refuse. Now, the Lord puts a hedge around you and everything, as long as you live an overcoming life, and you, you, you overcome these things as the Lord leads you to them.

But when you, when you become rebellious and you, and, and you won't, you won't overcome these areas in your life. And he'll just, you're, you're, you're, you're rebelling toward God, he'll let, let the hedge down, and they'll come and war against your mind, will and emotions in that area where you won't overcome.

Now, for the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, verse 8, but the one who sows to his spirit, sound like here's the opposite, doesn't it? But, the one who sows to the spirit shall from the spirit reap what?

Sound like eternal life, better than corruption, doesn't it? Now, let me just tell you something, folks. While we've been ignoring the powers of darkness, that's not what the scripture said, is it? But while we've been ignoring, they perverted many, many things.

They've been perverting healing, deliverance, holiness. They've been perverting salvation. They've been perverting many things. So, what I suggest to you, you look back here and know from whom you've learned, whatever you know, what you know.

Now, that shouldn't have been anybody, if they're held together by truth, should it? I'm telling you, you better let this lead you in all truth. Jesus better be the one to lead you in all truth. All right, now, but the one who sows to the spirit shall from the spirit reap eternal life, and let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

Well, that's kind of plain, isn't it? Remember, what we looked at in Romans 13, we put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and we make no provision for the lust of the flesh. When we're walking after, let me ask you something.

Do you think walking after the lust of the flesh is walking after sin? Shake your head. Let me try over here. Do you think walking after the lust of the flesh is walking after sin? Absolutely. The lust of the flesh is sin, isn't it?

Okay. See, we make no provision for the lust of the flesh, but we die to the lust of the flesh, and we receive a new provision that the Lord has made, that God has made through Jesus Christ. This provision leads us in the image and likeness of God, back to the image and likeness of God, where we've been in the image and likeness of Satan.

Do you follow me? Now, the sin of man today is refusing to accept this provision that God has made for us to get rid of the old sin nature. Are you hearing me? The sin of man today is to refuse the provision that God has made in Jesus Christ for us to get rid of the old sin nature, walking and talking like Satan.

And when we reject in the walking covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord, that means that we choose to enjoy walking and talking and acting like Satan. We choose to remain in the image and likeness of Satan.

Now, when a person chooses to remain in the image and likeness of Satan, well, what's in his heart? Where's his heart? That's where he chooses to remain. He finds his portion in this world, living for his flesh, the carton, and that's a temporal thing.

Conformity to Christ and the Image of God

So we're supposed to be—the process that the Lord has called us back in the covenant is to bring us back in the image and likeness of God, from the image and likeness of Satan, where Adam fell to, which is your nature, where you led, your heart goes to the lust of your flesh when you're born in this world.

Now, this process, as you know, that Jesus came as the example to lead us, and we're to suffer, He suffered, we'll walk as He walked, and here's an example of Him being Lord and us listening to Him. This is what He said, I mean, when you become one with God, you don't come on your own terms.

God has a few conditions for you. When you come to be one with Him, and so this process of Jesus being Lord of your life, once again in Romans 8, 29, it's that you be conformed to the image of Jesus, which is the image and likeness of God, you'll be changed.

Old things have passed away. You'll walk in newness of life. Now, I want to ask you, how is anybody—how is anybody going to be conformed to the image and likeness of God that their heart goes after the lust of the flesh?

That's where they live. That's where their heart is. How can I be transformed in the image and likeness of God if I'm not resisting the devil and dying to the flesh? Will you please tell me how that is?

I want to ask you that again. How can I be conformed to the image of Jesus or the image of the flesh? I want to ask you something. Who is it that hides truth from your minds? Who is it that hides truth?

They're doing it all the time, every day, folks. There's plenty of them to go around. They're talking to you all the time. Now, when you understand this—see, some of these things are a cultural shock, but this is the way it is.

And we're going to look at it right here. Now, you receive this if you see these things in the Word, because there's a bunch more. See, we're just—I wish we get day one and two by. I like to get over in three and four and five.

I'll be glad we can do this for five days. Now, I'll tell you who it is that hides the truth from us, the ones we've been ignoring. The powers of darkness. Now, you know we overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the Word of our Testament.

We love not our—that's the way you overcome them. Love not your flesh. And anyone that—Jesus said, anyone that wishes to come after me, that's in Mark 8. It's on your list there. You have to deny yourself, take up your cross.

In other words, what it is, it's a walk of death. And a walk of death, you suffer in it. But that's where the glory is. And when you resist temptations of the flesh—let me tell you something about the process, folks.

That's where the anointing grows on you. As you resist the flesh and temptations come on you, each time you do that, you get promoted. The Lord can trust you more and more, and He just lets more of His Spirit.

And I'm going to come to a place here, and I'm going to show you in the Word right here. I'm going to share with you in the Word right here. Well, the power is not in the church today. Just plain. And I'm getting close to it right now.

So we take up our cross. We deny ourself. What do you deny yourself? You deny your carton. Living after your carton, you live for the heavenly. Let me ask you something, did you? What about this? In that same Scripture there, it says, whoever wishes—now look at me—whoever wishes to save his life, our carton, is going to lose it.

Isn't that interesting? But whoever loses his life, dies to this flesh carton, is the one that's going to save it. Let me ask you something. Is that what your Bible says? Did these things just get dropped in there to analyze and just reject everything that comes against the flesh?

When you reject everything that comes against the flesh, you're giving the powers of darkness come and go as they want to. That's where they're working at. That's why you hadn't recognized them. You'd been in agreement with them.

You never know the devil talking to you because he's telling you how to take advantage of everything in this world for your flesh. That's why you don't recognize these thugs up there. They had to tell you how to take advantage of everything.

That's a flesh walk. That's why the world out there is deceived. They like it. Flesh likes it because everything Satan is, the flesh is, the lust of the flesh is. But see, when they get—while they're listening, they've got a little secret thing that's happening to you.

They're cutting you down. You're a tree of the field. We're going to look and see if they're tree cutters later on. They're cutting your tree down. When you're listening to the powers of darkness, death is working in you.

It's death. Now, folks, remember now, I think it just happened—I'm not saying these things because I'm starting something new, okay? I'm saying what we're saying right here in getting this Word is for you to have an understanding.

And when you have an understanding, I'm going to tell you what, you can walk away from here and you can say in the name of Jesus you know what you're talking about because of the Word of God. Amen? And a lot of things on your kids and in your family and folks and around and hurting people and everything, you don't have to tell them to hang in there no more or pray that they'll die comfortably.

I'm going to tell you something, folks, God is open to rise. I didn't have any problem telling you right there, pulling these glasses up here. I could tell you some pretty good stories about, you know.

But there's a lot of things I don't know. I can only share with you what I know. I don't have to know everything. But let me tell you something, nobody else knows everything either. I'm just a part. You're a part.

I'm important. I'm part of Jesus, aren't you? See, Satan saw that he couldn't stop the church with persecution. That persecution just makes you stronger and closer. So what he's now doing, he's been seducing the church to conform and be like the world which he already controls.

You get like the world, he's got you. You get the world and the church. So while the church in the past years have been ignoring Satan and the powers of darkness, the demons, Satan has been changing the gospel of grace into a social gospel.

We start building houses besides building up this house. We look for other fruit besides the fruit of this house. I want you to know this is a temple, folks. We start getting other fruit besides it. Now, Satan's perverted a lot of things.

Testing Teaching by the Word of God

Now, this is no reason why anybody should be defensive about it. If I can show you it in a word, why are you offended? What are you protecting? Why would you be upset about it, see? You shouldn't be offended.

Wait and see if it lines up in a word. If it doesn't line up the word, you're supposed to correct me, aren't you? Why don't you write me a little note there and correct me, and if I'm saying I'm wrong, then I'll sure get to it and just give it to God or whatever and everything I repent.

Because I'm telling you, before God, I'm not going to say anything exaggerated or anything to say what God said. Now, I've had a very good advantage over a lot of you and many of you have been where you're just seeing people set free all over the place.

And when you see people set free and they're walking with Jesus and see them set free from the powers of doctrine, you see that this is the way that they got in there. It's a beautiful, wonderful thing.

Because I'm going to tell you, you'll not walk with Jesus until you're free from these compulsions of the flesh. Those things are just pulling levers on you. Now, by the way, this is good news. It's not bad news.

This is good news. I'm sharing with you good news. This is good news for those that receive it. It's bad news for those that don't. Now, why did the Lord say, keep yourself unspotted from the world, eh?

He must have had a reason to do that. Keep yourself unspotted from the world. We know in James 4, I won't turn there, but it said, what did the Lord say to whoever is a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God?

My friend is a friend of the world walks and talks like a world, doesn't he? That right? That's where the flesh wants to live. This is on your notes there, 1 John 5, that all the power of this world lies in the hands of the evil one.

In other words, Satan, all the power of this world lies in the hands of Satan and the powers of darkness. All the power of this world. Is that plain? And we're going to see how. Do you recall in Luke 4 that Satan said, Luke 4, 5, who said, Satan, I said, told Jesus, when he's being temptated, I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world if you'll bow down and worship me.

You get a little visit like that every day to get your heart to go after these things. See, there are things in the world that you need. Automobiles and stone, wood, and everything. But you know what those powers of darkness try to do?

To get your heart toward it. See your heart. I'll explain it to you a little later. See, in other words, when Satan came to Jesus and told him he'd give him all the kingdoms of the world if he'd bow down and worship him, what Satan was doing, he claims rulership of the world and Jesus didn't dispute it with him.

He didn't dispute it. Now, I want to ask you something. How, where are you when you get up each morning? How, where are you that you live in the midst of an evil system controlled by God's enemies out there?

Because that's just exactly what your Bible says. I said, if you're a friend of it, you're an enemy of God. Now, see, Satan uses the world system. He uses the world system against you to get your heart.

He uses the lust of the flesh to get a person to live for himself and be Lord of his own life. That's why he talks to you to get you. Now, I think I'll just give, you know, I'll give you what to say. I'll give one example about something that, how they come and talk to you, you know, read newspapers and so forth.

The Lust of the Eyes and the Seduction of Possessions

Sometimes I share about this. I just want to share about it again. You ever seen by a car fever? Car fever. Got to have it. All right, let me just share something. Now, the reason I want to point this out to you, I'm just going to give you some examples of some little things in just in your everyday walking life that they get you programmed and everything.

How they just steal your heart right there and get you a proud person is satisfied and a satisfied person don't need God. Proud folks, God needs them. You hear me? Let me show you. Now, I see that red car, that red convertible, that red piece of steel.

And all of a sudden, as I look my lust in my eyes here, it begins working. I see that. And then that, as I look at that red piece of steel here, these pictures come in my mind. And it shows me when I get near Sally, how she's going, I'm going to look in that red piece of steel.

And how I just go through town, how I get around the fence in different places. These pictures come and show me how I look, how I'm going to be something. Somebody, when I get in that red piece of steel, and after these pictures, now they're talking to you.

Folks, I'm telling you the truth. In Jesus name, I'm talking to you. I'm telling you the truth. And in little small things like that, they're getting in your heart. And that is a lust of eyes. Because, see, you need an automobile to ride around with in this day and time.

And you can do it. You need them. But see, that automobile, that rusting piece of steel don't need to get your heart. See how perverted it is? Because you're looking at that red, the enemies we're talking to, and he's getting that piece, that red piece of steel and the pride alive to make this, this red piece of steel is going to take you through the world and make you somebody.

Are you seeing? Proud. And so finally, he just throws all those pictures and how good you're going to look and how, how you're going to be accepted and received by everybody when you get in that red piece of steel.

And then all of a sudden, a little thought comes there, I've got to have that red piece of steel if I work three jobs. I mean, you've got to have it. I mean, it's got you. And you go to, you got away the next day, how can I wait till the next day?

And all night you're just about stay awake thinking about that red piece of steel. Here comes those pictures, you know, and the demons are just bouncing off the wall. They, they just laugh and as they talk to you there and get you so lifted up in your boastful pride alive.

You go get that red piece of steel and you get, you don't have much time to drive around. You have to work all the time, but you get a little old trip, pride trip, everything, you know, yeah. Every time you jump in it, because that makes you somebody.

You want nothing before you had that red piece of steel. That red piece of steel is already rusting. And then you decide, well, you know, I, I need to go kind of get me some clothes and so forth. So you're getting your red piece of steel.

You drive into the clothing store and you start to pull in here and something says, what, why don't you pull over a little bit? They can see you a little better inside if you, that's them. So you're just kind of, kind of swerving around here and kind of pull over here where some folks can kind of see you a little better when you get out of your red piece of steel.

You go on into the clothing store and you find you a coat. And as you look at that coat, pictures start coming again and you start seeing that how you're going to look and what a success you're going to be in that cotton.

That cotton is already rotten, rusting steel. Then something has got your heart. Right here. And you try it on and you find a mirror and you go over and look at it and something up there tells you you've got the prettiest carton in town.

There's nobody like you. Nowhere. Now you've got your red piece of steel and you've got your rotten, your rusting steel and your rotten cotton. That's why they laugh at you. Fires of darkness. Now I'm, I'm, I'm very honest, you know, I kind of, I'm very honest with you.

I'm going to tell you until you probably have a, have a chance to kind of get in this a little more. Why don't you just kind of put that on the shelf there and let the Lord confirm it. That couldn't be that way.

Well, jump in. It is that way. It's exactly the way it is. All right, now. Flesh agrees with Satan. Turn to 1 John 2, please. 1 John 2. 1 John 2. Now we're going to look at how Satan controls the world and the people of the world.

We're going to look at it. If you will, please. Verse 15. Now you got your scissors with you. If you run into something you don't like, remember, just cut it out. Now it says in 15, do not love the world.

Look at me. Here they are. Oh, God knows I have to live in this world. He wants me to have the best. Have God really said, yes, you just read it. Listen, listen, folks, you're going to live in this world, but your heart doesn't go to the world.

You understand what I mean? You know, this world is phony as a $3 bill. Do you ever notice that? All the roles that this world finds you to play, you're always supposed to be something, be noticed, play games.

They're your puppets. Do not love the world, nor the red pieces of steel in the world. That's what it's saying. You understand? Now look at me. Look at me. I need some clothes to wear. I need an automobile to ride in.

But it hadn't got me. They're not the ones that's taking me through this world and making me something. I'm something in Jesus. Now, I used to live that way when they'd talk to me and my heart made me something.

I mean, my heart went after something so I could be something. Now, I use these things and I appreciate these things. And I've prospered in these things, but they haven't got my heart. The Lord has given me some pretty good things.

And I don't have any of them. I can't give up right now. None of them, not any of them. And that's grace. Nothing boasts about except the grace of God. It's the grace of God. And I need to know the difference.

I need to know the difference. But right here in 15 it said, do not love the world, nor the things in the world. Now let me ask you, are you hearing what it's saying? It's going to tell you why to not love the world, nor the things in the world.

I need some clothes to wear. I need an automobile to ride in. But it hadn't got me. They're not the ones that's taking me through this world and making me something. I'm something in Jesus. Now, I used to live that way when they'd talk to me and my heart made me something.

I mean, my heart went after something so I could be something. Now, I use these things and I appreciate these things, and I've prospered in these things, but I haven't got my heart. The Lord has given me some pretty good things, and I don't have any of them I can't give up right now.

None of them. Not any of them. And that's grace. Nothing to boast about except the grace of God. It's the grace of God to even know the difference. But right here in 15 it said, Do not love the world or the things in the world.

Now let me ask you, are you hearing what this is saying? It's going to tell you why to not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, I want you to get ready. Here's another one for the refrigerator.

If you love the world, the love that bothers is not in you. Is that what your Bible says? Unless you've said your words, or unless you're a Methodist. Unless you're a charismatic. Where's your heart? With a heart man believing right.

Do you understand that this whole thing might be a little more serious than any of us have thought it to be? Did you ever think about that folks? And then maybe some of us have got a little light some others hadn't got and you kind of know it.

Boy, immediately they start talking to you about spiritual pride. They set you down right there and then your heart gathers around a little truth and there you count, perverted. See the body of Christ.

There's some of us up the road, there's some of us down the road, but God has put us here to love and help one another folks. The last to come first and the first to come last. We don't know anything about the place.

Know each other at the place. There's no big shots in it. Have you received that yet? If you don't, you're going to stay in bondage to men. You hear me? When I see man whose breath is in his nostril, who's he?

Who's man? That's just God speaking. He can do a bunch. He's smart. Gonna get you. Him who follows after that which is good. If anything can intimidate you, it's got you. If anything make you fearful, it's got you.

You're in bondage. Your problem's right there. See right here where I'm pointing at? Right there is what's got you. Fear and intimidation comes from the devil. Let me tell you something. When you don't fear God, you're afraid of everything.

And when you fear God, you're not going to be afraid of anything else. Because when you learn the fear of God, you understand there's nothing else to be afraid of. Now there's a difference between fear of God and fear of the devil.

See, we've been programmed fear of the devil because we've been programmed by Hollywood and television and Inquirer and things like that, see. You get those kind of words, you start eating those kind of words and taking those things to heart, and the devil's got you.

The Threefold Pattern of Worldly Desire

I want to show you something. Boy, it's going to be a beautiful thing. Boy, I just love the Lord's Word. Isn't it something? Isn't it amazing? It's just amazing how God's Word sets us free. Well, let's go on.

It says something else here. You do not love the world, the things in the world, if your land loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, sixteen, for all, all, all, all, all, all, all is in the world.

Now here it comes. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life, who I know, who I am, and what I've done. Hey, listen to me. You know how we've been programmed to kind of drop it on somebody just, well, I know someone to bang.

Well, I did bang this, you know, just, just, you know, just kind of just let them know. I've got a four-bedroom. Oh, my. It's time to laugh. You know what? Jeremiah 10, 14 says. I'm not going to turn there, but I just want to tell you, it said, all mankind is stupid.

And devoid of knowledge. That's why we're lying. God's right after all, wasn't he? We just found out he's right. I mean, they make puppets out of you. So there it is. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.

Later on, we're going to see that that's how, these three things right there that brought about the fall of Adam. Now, we run into something else. These things are not from the world, Father, but it's from the who.

This lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the boastful pride of life. Where's it from? It's from the world. So that's the reason it says, so it's good reason to say, not love the world, the things in the world, right?

All right. Now, look here. Watch it. Watch me right there. When I lived in the natural, that's where my heart went. My carton. And I lived after the, I found the temporal things of the world. That's where the lust of the flesh goes to.

Because it finds things in the world to make it something. This flesh wants to, I got that pride in there. So I slip a little red car on this flesh and it's something. Slip a red coat on somebody and it's something.

I didn't say blue, did I? All right. Now, verse 17, the world is passing away and also it's what? He said it's gone, folks. I'm telling you. It's all, all the lust is headed for destruction. Amen? Well, it's being destroyed right now.

The world is passed away, also it's lust, but the one who does what? Why don't you circle that about four times? We keep running this over and over. The one who does the will of God is the one at what?

All right. Now, folks, are you seeing that we're seeing people who walk after the flesh and then reap in corruption and we're seeing the ones that do in the will of God as eternal life? Does it sound like covenant is something to walk in rather than analyze?

Huh? Did the Lord in all his wisdom send a book down here for us to analyze and speculate about and vote on? Huh? Go, you know, we're only going, you know, God, wonder what God do? We go get four opinions and take a majority out of it and do it instead of find out what God wants.

Right? Okay. I'm not going to turn to it, but you're familiar with the scripture in Romans 12, 1 and 2, it says that you make this, let's turn to it, turn to it there. Romans 12. First one, I urge you brethren by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice.

And what kind of sacrifice? Do you know that a holy sacrifice was one that abstained from lust of the flesh? Did you see that while ago? Did we read that in first Peter? Shake your head. It's not very holy when it's acting like Satan, is it?

Is your body holy when it's acting like Satan? No. So we present our bodies a living, holy sacrifice except to God, which just is your spiritual service of worship. Now look at me. You make this body a living sacrifice, holding itself under God.

Now listen, folks, you die to this so that the spirit of godliness, so God's spirit can come in and you'll be a manifestation of God in the flesh. That is a mystery of godliness. Are you hearing that?

We've heard a lot of mystery of godliness, but I'm kind of making a little more emphasis in the mystery of iniquity because we understand how the powers of darkness and everything and the sin is. Right?

And I make a little more emphasis in the temple of that age that said, you leave that alone. You know what God's saying to them right now, shut up. And he's fixing it so we can hear. That's what he does when you witness.

He wants somebody to hear right there, and he sees their heart kind of turn to him. He tells the demons, shut up. So they just shut down. And a man can hear. Are you hearing me? Now, I'll tell you that God is the one in control of everything.

There's no wisdom. There's no counsel. There's no understanding against God. And what I'm talking about here today, and I'm sharing about the powers of darkness, I'm talking about getting in on the counsel of God and God's spirit and word agree.

Is that right? Now, second verse, and do not be what? Conform to the world. We've always said that we are seen in 1 Peter as obedient children, not be conformed to the flesh. Right? Now, we're saying do not be conformed to the world, but be what?

You're going to be transformed into the divine nature by the renewing of your mind. How do you renew your mind? Well, we start planting this seed in here, folks. Now the Lord, you start taking it to heart.

Now, don't take it up here and see how smart you can be about it. Take it in here and make it a way of life, right? And then when you take it in your heart, you eat the word, you take it to heart, it performs its work in you because, I mean, you just, folks in your heart, you don't have anything to do with it.

When you start coming to the Lord with all your heart, you ever see a brand new little old baby Christian and everything, and he's come with all his heart and he don't know many scriptures or anything, but he knows all his heart turned to the Lord.

You watch him go out and talk about Jesus, but he can just say something, the spirit of God just go all over somebody. See, it's not us and our intellect that's doing it. It's the spirit of God. It works with us.

That's what I tell you, the fruit of righteousness that's walking right in God's eyes, we become a tree of life. You don't have to wait till Thursday night visitation, I'm telling you, you can slosh all over everybody while you're getting their hair fixed.

What do you think about that? See, because when you say, you don't have to say too much, the spirit of God just moves all over. He's the one that did it. It never was us. It never was us. Now grace is when we start finding this out.

I tell you, I get a glimpse of it and it just does me in. That's why I got so much confidence. I know it's all Him, my confidence in the Lord. I have to have. Okay. Do not be conformed, this world be transformed, renewing your mind that you may prove what is the what?

The will of God is, I think, and we've been reading about the will of God being opposite the flesh over and over and over and over, and you're going to keep seeing over and over. Matter of fact, we're going to go into a verse later on that said, who goes to heaven?

It said, many are going to come and call me Lord. He said, I don't know you. And he goes ahead and said, the one that goes to heaven is the one that does the will of God. Now, with all the powers of darkness being ignored and left out of the scripture a lot because of the fact that we haven't had a lot of understanding because of traditions and lies and things that's been handed down to us, there's been some things perverted and wrong.
