Escape From the Power and Influence of Sodom — W.F. Kumuyi

Lord shall rise up as we pray together. I want you to commit yourself to the Lord, that tonight the Lord will still speak to your heart, and that the Lord will do great, wonderful things in your life, that the power for the present hour, the Lord will give unto you.

Open your mouth and talk to the Lord in prayer. Power for the present hour. Power of perilous times, difficult times, challenging times, that the Lord will help you to understand why you are here, why you came, and the purpose of your coming.

The Lord definitely will fulfill. We thank God for all our ministers, all our preachers, all those who have been praying for us, all those who have been ministering one way or the other, serving us, and are serving us so that we'll be able to have all that God has for us.

All our ministers towards you. Our ministers join together with me, our preachers join together with me, our singers, ushers, security, brothers, sisters, those who are feeding us, everyone, and those who are making the message to come across to us, that doing that will prepare us to receive the power for the present hour.

Preparing to Stand in Perilous Times

The retreat is not just a convention, it's not celebration, it is preparation time to receive the power to be able to stand in the challenging days. And pray that tonight, what we have, what we receive, what we get from the Lord will still go further to bring about greater power upon our lives to be who God wants us to be.

And to be more than conquerors in the challenging times ahead of us. Pray that God will help you to be wise at this time to receive all that the Lord has for you. Pray for people around you too, that God will help you to be an encouragement to them.

A good, positive influence on people around you that they too will receive as much as the Lord has for them. As the Lord is blessing you, that the Lord will be blessing them too. Great opportunity to receive power for the present hour.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. A God in heaven, we thank you once again. What a good God you are, what a great Father you are. You know what's the hitch?

You don't want us to be taken by surprise. That's the reason you brought us together in this retreat. So we can sing through, and so we can praise through, and so we can plunge, plunge ourselves into the river of your mercy and your favor, and so that your fire, your power, the anointing and also the breaking of every yoke will take place in every life.

Lord, we pray at this time again, reveal yourself very clearly to everyone of us in Jesus' name. Lord, we know we are not the first set of people you are revealing yourself to. You revealed yourself to people of old, and a lot of them benefited from that revelation.

Some of them did not benefit, and this is a retreat for learning, upon whom the ends of the world shall come. We pray, Lord, you make us wise, and this time of your favor and mercy, we pray, Lord, we receive everything you have for us in Jesus' name.

Make us strong, make us wise, make us bold and courageous in the day of evil, that we will be able to stand and nothing will defeat us in Jesus' name. We thank you, Lord, we know you are going to give us all the power we need for this present hour.

Do it for us, Lord, we receive by faith. In Jesus' name we pray. God bless you, you can sit down. We have come to consider a message from the word of God that looks very peculiar, and the Lord wants to reveal to us what we need to know for the present hour and for the future ahead of us.

Escaping the Power and Influence of Sin

We're talking about escape from the power and influence of sin. That word escape, it means there is danger, peril, difficulty, a time that will catch everybody unawares. And yet the Lord has prepared a way, a way of escape.

That word escape, we find in many parts of scripture. Let me point a few of them to you. One, as the Lord himself used that word, escape. When you look at Luke chapter 21, the statistics. Would she therefore and pray always that she may be accounted worthy to escape all the sins that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.

The Lord is saying a time is coming, a time of peril, a time of danger, a time of judgment, a time of punishment for the world. And he's saying we need to watch and we need to pray so that we will be accounted worthy to escape what's coming upon the people of the world.

Then he's telling us in Hebrews chapter 2, Hebrews chapter 2. Again we're looking at the word escape. It's going to take something from you, it's going to demand something from you so that you will escape and you'll not be caught in the trial, and in the trouble coming upon the people of the world because it will come upon them unprepared, come upon them unawares.

But the Lord is saying we will escape. We're going to escape in Jesus' name. Hebrews chapter 2 verse 3. How shall we escape if we neglect? How shall we escape if we neglect? He's sending messages to us through his servants, many of us, through his prophets, many of us, and through his appointed and anointed preachers, many of us.

And then he's saying how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. First generation believers are always very vigilant, they're watchful.

They just came to the gospel for the first time at the beginning of the church, the early church, always watchful. But the people that come, second generation, third generation, first generation, they're mostly careless.

When you think about the church, the early church, the church of the Acts of the Apostles, you'll find that devotion to the Lord, and you'll find that devotion to all the instructions, the commandments of the Lord taking heed.

But after you come second generation and third generation and the first generation, then religion takes over from righteousness. And then the people are no more careful, are no more watchful, are no more serious about preparation for the coming of the Lord.

That's what you'll find here. The people at the time that borrowed to the Hebrews, it's not the first generation, you have now second generation, third generation, and it's saying, how shall we escape?

So great, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first, that is the first generation of Christians, they heard it, they knew it, they embraced it, at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and it was confirmed unto us by them.

It's another generation now, by them that heard Him. God also bearing witness, both were signs and wonders and diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost according to His own will. I'm sure you know that many of us who are here now are the retreat.

You are not the first generation of believers in our church, deep alive. You came much later. And the vigilance of the early days, maybe you don't have. The watchfulness of the early days, maybe you don't have.

The passion of the early days, maybe you don't have. And the steadfastness of taking heed to the Word of God, maybe you don't have. That's why the Lord is saying, second generation believers, third generation believers, first generation believers, understand we are nearer the end than at the beginning.

And so He says, how will you escape if you neglect so great salvation? We are not going to neglect. I said we are not going to neglect. That has come, you understand, the Lord is preparing you, and preparing us all together for the coming of the Lord so that we will escape what is coming upon this world.

Sodom as a Picture of Sinful Influence

We are talking about escaping from the power of Sodom. The influence of Sodom. Let's look at the reason we are saying that. We are not back in Genesis chapter 13 verse 13. Genesis chapter 13 verse 13.

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly. Talking about Sodom, the power of the sinful world, the authority of the sinful world, the influence of the sinful world. The men of Sodom were wicked.

Not only wicked, they were sinners in the sight of the Lord. And it says exceedingly. And the Lord is telling us that we are living in the world and the world in which we live in is like Sodom. Sinful.

Wicked. And you know there is a word that came out of that name of the city. Sodom, Sodomites. Sodomites, those are men with men. Messing up together. A lady and another lady messing up together. It started in Sodom.

And if you have been listening to what is going on in the world in which we live today, Sodomy. Sodomites are even now appearing. They are not just sneaking into some churches. They are now even asking for ordination to become preachers and ministers.

And in some countries right now, you will be penalized by the government if you speak directly against Sodomites. Men and men getting married together. Adopting children. And saying that they are married and they want you to recognize the marriage.

The marriage of a man and another man. The marriage of a woman and another woman. They want you to give that public recognition. Not only that. They want you to be able to also give them employment. No discrimination.

They are the rich. We have these last days coming upon us. And it's telling us that we need to escape the power and the influence of Sodom. Let's look at Jeremiah. You are not going away from Genesis.

And then you see that the influence and the power, the corruption and the evil and the sinfulness of Sodom even continued beyond the time of Genesis. We are looking at Jeremiah chapter 23. Jeremiah chapter 23.

We are looking at verse 14. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible scene. They commit adultery. Prophets, preachers, so-called servants of God and they walk in lies. Destroying them also.

The hands of evildoers that none does return from his wickedness. They are all of them unto me. Tell me the next thing there. As Sodom and the inhabitants thereof, as Gomorrah. It's talking about the prophets, the preachers, the priests, the ministers in the church.

And it's saying they are unto me like Sodom and like Gomorrah. What do they do? They strengthen the hands of evildoers. The influence of Sodom. The influence of Gomorrah. And it's saying the people that sin and the people that do evil instead of the prophets of God rising up and condemning the sin and then speaking with a fiery voice and message against evil.

It says, distributing the hands of evildoers and then it says those prophets and priests and pastors and preachers they become like unto me the people of Sodom. Look at verse 17. They say still unto them that despise me the Lord has said ye shall have peace and they say unto everyone that walketh after the imagination of his own heart no evil shall come upon you.

That's the influence of Sodom. I was praying that this church the Pali Bible Church in every country in Africa, in Europe, in America Latin America, Asia, everywhere we as a church together we will escape the power and influence of Sodom in Jesus name.

I told you that because we are second, third, fourth perhaps generation of believers the kind of attitude we had against sin, against evil against wickedness against corruption in the earlier days we're praying as a church we'll have that same fiery attitude against sin, we'll have it back in the church in Jesus name so that you don't have a free bridge that is committing sin and backsliding committing adultery and fornication and doing evil and then supporting them it's my man, it's from my tribe it's from my village it's my relative it's a person close to me don't touch him let him corrupt the church let him cause people to backslide let him bring in all the influences of Sodom.

It's my man, it's my lady even either that is the influence of Sodom and we're praying that from tonight and permanently in our church the Lord will purge out all the influence of Sodom in the church in Jesus name.

Jeremiah's Warning to Corrupt Prophets

Well now I'm looking at Jeremiah chapter 51. Jeremiah chapter 51 I'm reading from verse 45 escape from the power and the influence of Sodom. Jeremiah chapter 51 we're looking at verse 45 my people go ye out of the midst of her and deliver ye every man and soul from the fierce anger of the Lord.

It's saying that the Lord is commanding us challenging us that the influence of Sodom is so near and you know we're around many other churches and many of us even have some members of other churches living in your house and living in your community and you share notes and share ideas together and they tell you this is what they do in their church and this is how they operate in their church and this is how they act in their church and this is what they permit in their church that the church is so loving and they're all in fellowship and they hear about what we do over here and they hear about our stand against evil and against sin.

And they will want all the people associated with this church not just workers, members. And the moment you come in here and then you hear the word of God we're expecting everyone associated with this church to stand straight and to come out from among them.

And then when you compare notes they say uh uh they do that in your church. And they're so militant in your church oh yes to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Or they say well you know in our own church our pastor what can you do.

Once in a while he preaches and says stand straight and stand firm. I want the people who don't you know do it yourself. God bless you. In any case whatever you do whether you're good or bad or sinful or righteous I'm your pastor.

I'm just going to love you. I'm going to have a place in my heart for every sin that you do. But know here is different. We're saying first generation believers keep the fire burning and keep the fervency and keep the challenge you had and the conviction you had in the earlier days if possible.

You even want to become more fiery than you were when you came in. And then the second generation third generation fourth generation believers they're just coming to the church and the Lord is saying there should be unity of conviction.

And you see at my back here it says earnestly content for the faith once delivered unto the saints. You might have to just you know brush some people aside. You might have to discipline some people. You might have to check some people don't do that.

You can't go that direction. You might have to vow at some people whatever we have to do to make sure that this church does not get infiltrated influenced by the power and attitude of Satan. We're going to do it in Jesus name.

And I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure you're going to be in agreement with the leadership of the church in Jesus name you know that's what is keeping this church from the influence of Satan. As state overseers as fiery as the general superintendent our region overseers as uncompromising as the general superintendent our group coordinators here at the headquarters and our coordinators over here our leaders over here our sectional leaders over here as firm and as fierce and as savage and as focused as the general superintendent.

And I pray that that firmness and focus will remain forever with us in this church in Jesus name. And of course I'm sure you know coordinators who are here group coordinators who are here I'm sure you are not waiting for me anymore.

Gone are the days when somebody commits sin and somebody does something that is not right. I will say you are waiting for the pastor. You are not waiting for the pastor anymore. What you know I would have done did in your district in your group something takes place that the influence of Satan is coming into your local church and that the corruption of the world is coming into your local church.

You are a coordinator there. You are the pastor there and you are the group coordinator. You are the pastor there and you see that if the general superintendent were here they were not allowed this. Then deal with it.

Don't wait for me don't say I'm going to wait when the GS comes back from the street. Then you will handle this. No. I've transferred the authority to your hands. Handle that. And the coordinator is the pastor of that church.

And you are over every section of the church the men the women the youths the children the choir the orchestra the ushers the security in that local church. They are under the leadership of the pastor in that church.

And if anything goes wrong and the influence of Satan is trying to come into that local church from any direction. Don't say if it were GS this is what you will do. I'll show you the example what I would have done.

That's what you do. Even if you have to make some group of groups sit back and sit down and say hey come on. This is Satan. This is the influence of the world coming in here. And if the GS were here this is what you will do.

Do it and you have my support and back it. Well together I said well together it's going to be like that in Jesus name. The same thing with our regional overseers state overseers and national overseers.

I'll be telling you what I do over here. When I see the influence of Satan is coming in I take it upon myself and I say no. This is the way walk even in and God will help every one of us to stand.

By that word in Jesus name are we together.

I said are we together. Of course. Of course. Of course. We are to be together because we are on our way to heaven and that place heaven. We are going to get there in Jesus name. Revelation chapter 11.

Revelation chapter 11. I'm looking at verse 8. Revelation chapter 11. We're looking at verse 8. And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where also our Lord was crucified and he was crucified in Jerusalem.

But now even Jerusalem became like Sodom. And then we're told in Revelation here that even to that time that you'll find this city just like Sodom. If that could happen we're coming from Genesis. And the influence of the power of Sodom began in Genesis.

It went on to the time of Jeremiah went on to the New Testament and went on until the time of Revelation. That's why the Lord is telling us that we need to find out the power the sinfulness the attitude the corruption of Sodom is coming into the church.

This day is going to be pushed out of our church.

In Jesus name.

Escape from the power and escape from the influence of Sodom. I'm going to talk on three points. Number one a description of the sinfulness of Sodom. A description of the sinfulness of Sodom. Number two the danger of saints in Sodom and Sodom is saints.

The danger of saints in Sodom and Sodom is saints. Number three the deliverance of saints from Sodom. Number one the description of the sinfulness of Sodom. We're looking at Genesis chapter 13 again. Genesis chapter 13.

Let's see the description of the word of God. Verse 77. A description of the sinfulness of Sodom. Genesis 13 reading from verse 10. And the Lord lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain of Jordan that it was well watered everywhere before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah even as the guarding of the Lord like the land of Egypt as thou comest unto Zohar.

Then the Lord chose him over the plain of Jordan and the Lord joined each and they separated themselves one from the other. Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

He didn't go to Sodom immediately. He just pitched his tent near separating from the man of God from the friend of God from Abraham. And then he pitched his tent near Sodom. And then he says. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

The Sinfulness of Sodom in Genesis

Let's look at chapter 18. I'm reading from verse 20. Genesis 18. Verse 20 were told and the Lord said because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very grievous. He's thinking about what the Lord is saying.

What the Lord said about Sodom. He said their cry is great the cry is terrible and their sin is very grievous in the sight of the Lord. Verse 21. I will go down now and see whether they have done all together according to the cry of each which is come unto me and if not I will know.

And the men turned their faces from this and went toward Sodom. But Abraham stood yet before the Lord. Look at verse 23. And Abraham drew near and said wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Part venture there are the fifteen righteous within the city. Wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifteen righteous that are therein? And then the Lord said it goes on in verse 26. And the Lord said if I find in Sodom how many righteous people?

Tell me out loud fifty righteous within the city. I will spare all the place for their sins. The Lord said Abraham I'm listening to you. You're making intercession. If I see fifty righteous people there in Sodom I'll be patient for them.

I'll wait for them. I'll wait for those fifty to influence them. Turn them around. He continued praying. And then we're to it in verse now we're now in verse 32. Look at verse 32. And he said oh let not the Lord be angry and I will speak yet.

But this was part adventure. Ten shall be found there. And he said I will not destroy it for ten's sake. But you know the Lord was not able to find ten righteous people in Sodom. And the righteous people we're even talking about we're not talking about.

You know people who are you know saved soundly and then righteous and holy and sanctified. We're talking about people like Lord. And you know the righteousness of Lord. The righteousness of Lord was the minimum level of righteousness.

And as a kind of righteousness the Lord was even saying if I find ten people minimally righteous like Lord minimally righteous like his daughters minimally righteous like his wife. If I find ten in that place I will spare them.

Even with that minimum level of righteousness God could not find ten people there that had minimal righteousness. That makes us to know then the description of the sinfulness of Sodom. Let's look at Genesis chapter 19.

I'm reading from verse 4. Genesis chapter 19. Verse 4. How sinful Sodom was. How terrible Sodom was. The kind of crime they urged. Chapter 19. Verse 4. But before they laid down the men of the city even the men of Sodom come past the house and out both old and young.

And all the people from every quarter. And he called unto Lord. And he said unto him what are the men which came in to thee this night. Bring them out unto us that we may know them. The word know there is not to want to know their names no more than that want to see their faces no more than that.

They wanted to know them as her husband knows the wife you see. And Adam knew his wife Eve. That means they came together. And that's what they wanted to do here. They want to know them want to have something with them want to defile them.

And then it says in verse 6. And Lot went out at the door unto them and shut the door after him. And he said I pray you brethren do not so wickedly you understand now I want to know them. If it's just to see their face that's not wickedness if it's just to know their names that's not wickedness if it's to know which country are you.

What are you doing here. You want to settle here. You want to trade here. You need accommodation here. You need land here.

Let's know you let's know who you are before we give you land. That's not wickedness it's the sinfulness of so many it's the sinfulness of man and man working that.

Which is so sinly defiling their own bodies. That's why Lot said do not do so wickedly. Because now I have two daughters which have not known. Man let me I pray you bring them out and you deal unto them as it is good in your eyes.

Only unto these men do nothing. You know what they were asking for. Then they wanted to have immorality. And he said ok if you want immorality. Look at the man who has sinned. He's righteous. Look at this man.

He says well he said number one sin is too terrible but number two sin can be is less so many is terrible. But my daughters are here. They don't know any man. Can I give them to you. That's a smaller sin.

That's a lighter sin. That's the righteous man we're talking about here that even the people could not be as righteous as that. He permitted little little sins. He permitted the less serious sin because to him defiling his daughters they would not be as terrible as defiling the men.

And then he says. For therefore came down under the shadow of my roof. Verse 9. And he said stand back. And he said again this one fellow came in to sojourn. You came to live here and you will not be the judge.

He wanted to be a leader already. This Lord was getting to the politics of the land and he wanted to be a judge a servant. Are you thinking about that righteous man that we even said has minimum righteousness.

He wanted to be a judge. He ruled over the people and these were people he could not influence he could not change. And then he says he said he wants to be a judge. Now will we deal worse with thee than even with them.

And the prayer saw upon the man even Lord and came near to break the door. Look at this. The men that means the angels put forth their hand and pulled Lord into the house to them and shut the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness.

The angels performed great miracle and made all those men of sojourn blind. But look at it. After that blindness was small and great so that they wearied themselves to find the door. After they were stricken blind they still wanted to commit the sin seriously.

And they were looking for the door. Where is the door. Where is the door. They knew that they were blind and yet they could not find the door. And they wearied themselves in wanting to find the door that shall show them how sinful they were.

And the Lord will deliver us from this kind of lifestyle in Jesus name. You may. Good. Amen. But you know my dear brothers and sisters sin comes in little by little by little. You open the door a little and then sin was taking one leg and it is taking the second leg before you move.

Watch the whole sin is there. And this is what happened to Lord. He pinched his tent near Sodom. Later he went into Sodom. Later he meets with the people. Later he wanted to be a judge over the people.

And later he meets with them. He became almost part of them. And when you allow sin in any form still in any shape a little a little a little before you know what the spirit of Sodom and the power of Sodom and the attitude of Sodom and the lifestyle of Sodom will creep in and then stay inside.

I pray that God from tonight will purge this church.

From the influence of Sodom in Jesus name let's look at 1st Kings chapter 14 verse 24. 1st Kings chapter 14. We are reading from verse 24. Remember now we are coming all the way from Genesis and now we are going far and we are talking about hundreds of years thousands of years now after Genesis we are looking at 1st Kings chapter 14 verse 24 it says.

And there were also Sodomites in the land and there were also Sodomites in the land. Can you imagine that after the judgment came that influence of Sodom of Sodomy of Sodom it remained and that corruption of Sodom still remained.

That's why we are seeing although we are putting them in Genesis and God had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah yet the crime yet the sin yet the sin yet the evil yet the corruption of Sodom was still there.

That's verse 24. And there were also Sodomites in the land and they did according to all their abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. You see way off far away in 1st Kings it was still there.

We are looking at Isaiah chapter 1. Isaiah chapter 1. That attitude of Sodom remained in the land of Israel. The influence was terrible of Sodom. Isaiah chapter 1. I'm reading from verse 2. In Isaiah chapter 1 verse 2 hear oh heavens and keep dear oh earth.

For the Lord has spoken. I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me the ox no earth as owner. And they ask is must I scream but Israel.

Does not know my people does not consider a sinful nation a people laden with iniquity a seed of evil doers children that are corruptors they are forsaking the Lord that provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger they are gone away backward why should you be striking any more ye will reverge more and more the whole head of seed and the whole heart forage from the soul of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it but moons and blue and a great sign of land strangers devour it in your process and it is desolate as overthrown by strangers the daughters of Zion.

The daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a visit city, except the lodge of host hath led unto us a very small remnant, which should have been as, as what?

Tell me out loud. A sudden, and it should have been like unto the morn. You see Walter, the lodge is warning us of. Brothers and sisters, will you look up a moment? You know, a church like this, you know what, do you know what people do in the world?

There is a church where there is a strong army over here, and another army over here, not as strong. Army A, very strong. Army B, very weak. The weak goes to serve up the strong. And this is strategy that, you know, military people they know this.

They will save people from the army that is weak. They will save them to infiltrate the army that is strong. And then they will mix with them and become part of them. And they will, you know, go in and out of them, and they carry arms for them.

And they say they are fighting the weak army, but really they are spies. The weak army sends them into the strong army to infiltrate, to be part of them. And then they will be telling the secret of the strong army, they will be telling it to the weak army.

They will say, this is the plan, this is the goal, this is what they are doing, this is their strength, this is what their leader is doing. Then the weak army, they don't have the strength of why, they will be insinuating, influencing their members that they sent into the strong army.

Do this, do this, and cause confusion in the midst of that strong army. And in the things they never saw before, they begin to say that, that's the enemy plan. And eventually, as they are fighting themselves, the weak army will take over, destroy them.

Infiltration and the Church's Convictions

You know the devil is a strategist. When this deep life came up, and the Lord brought us up as a light and beacon of light in the nation, to go everywhere and preach the gospel to every creature, and then some other churches, they begin to learn.

What do they do? How do they do hospitality? How do they do evangelism? What's their strength? Why are they so united? Why are they so one, together, in oneness, and nothing is able to break their ranks?

And why is it that, you know, their leader wants to say, go, they go. He wants to say, come, they come. What is their secret? And they want to be larger than deeper life, stronger than deeper life. They want to swallow up deeper life.

You know what they have done? Just like the army A and B that I told you about, go into their midst. Number one, go and get married to their ladies, and get married to their men. And whatever condition they give you, just accept.

If they say, if you are going to marry us, you must come into our door. Just say, yes, I will come. After the marriage, then, you know, you will not show your true color and say, hey, come on. This is not my church.

I just got married to you. I'm going back to my church. If you want the marriage to remain, come on, follow me. That's one area. Another area is that everything we're planning, everything we're doing, before we even finish tonight, they know it in that other church.

How do they know that? How do they see all this? They have their people that are planted there, planted in the choir, and planted among the people there, planted among the people there. And they know how our retreat has been a kind of retreat, very strong, very forceful, very effective.

And how do you destabilize their preachers? How do you destabilize their leader, their general? The way you destabilize them, do this, and do this, and do this. And while the real, deeper life people are kind of submissive, and obedient, and yielded, and looking at the word of God, and writing notes, and kneeling when we pray, and standing when we pray, and we say in their heart, oh Lord, make me strong.

All those people that were planted there to infiltrate, they're doing all their gimmicks and everything, and then they are causing confusion. And you are thinking that they are our members, and it is to bring Sodom into the church.

I was saying we are going to purge out all the Sodomites in Jesus' name. And you don't know the techniques of the devil. You know sometimes there is a Sodomite there, there is a Sodomite, a Sodomite, a Sodomite there, not really part of us, but dressing like us, for a purpose, acting like us, for a purpose, saying yes we believe, the same doctrine that you do, for a purpose.
