Tattle Tailing on the Truth Twisters — Greg Locke

Alright, welcome once again to the Windows of Heaven radio broadcast. This is Evangelist Greg Locke. Today I'll take my very controversial reading from 2 Peter chapter number 2, verse number 1. The Bible says, But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And many, you hear that? And many shall follow their pernicious or their wicked ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned or masked words make merchandise of you, whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Tattletailing on the Truth Twisters

I want to talk to you this morning, this afternoon on this broadcast, a little message entitled, Tattletailing on the Truth Twister. I think it would do Bible believers good, and I think it would do real good for some good old hot fundamental pulpits every now and then just to get out the old whistle of the Bible, and blow the cover off of these wolves in sheep clothing.

Now, I realize this is the third broadcast for the windows of heaven, but I just want to go ahead and break bones with the world. I just want to go ahead and let you know that I stand on God's side, not man's side, and I'm going to say a couple of things today that perhaps may rub you the wrong way, but I believe God's people need to know the truth.

If there's ever a day when we need the Bible, it's today. If there's ever a day when we need truth, it is today. If there's ever a day when we need old-fashioned hellfire brimstone spitting preaching, it is the day and age in which we live.

It may not be very popular, ladies and gentlemen, but what is popular is not always right, and what is right is hardly ever, if ever, popular. In 2 Peter 1, as we back up, the Bible begins to talk about in verse 19, we have also a more sure word of prophecy.

We're talking about the Word of God here, the sure Word of God. Whereunto you do well that ye take heed, it does you well to take heed to the Word of God, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star rise in your hearts.

Verse 20, knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation, for the prophecy, talking about the Bible, the prophecy of the Word of God, for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

So here in 2 Peter 1, verses 19 -21, we're talking about the prophecy of the Word of God. And we know that holy men of God, not some liberals, not some modernists, not some atheists or agnostic or a bunch of university students that don't even believe the Bible or the blood of Jesus Christ.

He said holy men of God. So we're dealing with true prophets. We're dealing with preachers. We're dealing with people who were messengers of the truth. Now, in context of that or in light of that, he then moves right on in chapter 2 and verse 1 and says, but, in contrast to these true God-fearing, Bible-believing prophets, in contrast to that, he said, but there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you.

And ladies and gentlemen, we are living in a day that is full of false teaching. We are living in a day when radio preachers and television preachers tell evangelists, and I'm an evangelist, and they give me a bad name.

But we're living in a day when people do not know what the truth is. And ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that the Word of God is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

The Definition of a False Prophet

So today, let's just for a moment study the Bible about these false preachers or these false prophets. What does the Bible say? Well, there's other portions of Scripture that we could look at, but let me give you number one, what I call the definition of a false prophet.

The definition of a false prophet or a false preacher. You ready for this? It's real simple. They're false. They're phony baloney. They're hypocrites. They do not mean what they teach. The Bible says with feigned words, masked words.

They preach or they speak, they pray and they bless, if you will, out of both sides of their mouth. They can curse God. They can praise God. They can curse man. They can praise man. They say they're looking for money.

Then they say that God's taking care of all their financial bills. Ladies and gentlemen, you hear me. False prophets, the reason they are so hard to detect is because they always, always, always court the truth.

For some amount of time, they tell the truth. For some amount of time, they preach the Bible. For some amount of time, it seems like they're telling the truth and it seems like everything's going well and it seems like they've got God on their side and it seems like they're holding hands with the Bible, but then they begin to deviate.

Then they begin to delineate from the narrow paths of the Scripture, from the narrow paths of the prophetic Word of God. And they begin to talk about money. Then they begin to talk about dreams and visions and tongues and signs and wonders.

And then they talk about extra biblical revelation. You know, let's take for a moment way back years ago, Mr. Jim Jones. Jim Jones had all of those hundreds and hundreds of people, 800 and some odd people, I believe, perhaps 900, all lay face down.

They all drunk the Kool-Aid. The black, the white, the yellow, the red, all the tall, the short, the fat, the skinny. The bald-headed, the hairy-headed, the men, the women, the boys and girls, every one of them, they drank the Kool-Aid.

And they lay down on their face. Why? Because here was a slick-willed preacher who was a man that got up and wore sunglasses and made blood come out of his hands sometime and said he was the Son of God.

Here was a man that began by quoting the truth. He got the people hooked because people want truth no matter what the world tells them. And they began to hear a little truth mixed with a lot of lie. And then it began to get perverted and perverted and they were sucked in by a false prophet.

What about David Koresh? He taught all those 12 and 13 and 14 and 15, 16-year-old girls that he was Almighty God. He laid with those girls and those girls were impregnated by him and had his children.

He had all of those wives and all those people in Waco or Waco, Texas as they call it. They're in that big confine of that place. And the FBI came in, began to bomb them and blow them out. And it doesn't matter if we agree with how they did it or not.

The point is, here's a man that had some truth. He mixed it with a whole lot of error and those people began to follow. And the television and the radio are full of these false preachers. They have the truth for a little while.

They begin to deviate. They begin to delineate. And the Bible says that there shall be without a shadow of a doubt, without a blink of an eye, dogmatically, unapologetically, there shall be, he said, false preachers, false teachers, false prophets among the people.

And the Bible says, who privily, privily or privily or very sneakily, they don't do it out in the open. They don't say, oh, I am a false prophet. No, they come under the cloak of righteousness. They come under the cloak of righteousness on television and they tend to do this, that and the other and little old ladies and little old men that don't know any better, they send their tithes and they send their offerings and they send their money to these people because they think they're telling the truth, but they're swallowing a big fat bass hook of a lie hooked line and sinker.

And the Bible says that they shall bring in privily these damnable heresies. So we see the definition of a false prophet is that they simply court the truth. They begin with the truth here. That's how you have courts.

They have a little truth and a lot of lie. And the lie always negates and nullifies the truth. And so that's their definition. They talk about the truth, but they twist it. They pervert it. They turn it around and make it to their own gain.

And God said that's wicked and they will be judged for that. I'll show you that in just a moment. But I don't want to dwell on the definition. I want to dwell on what I call also the doctrines of false preachers.

False Prophets and Their Doctrines

He says that they shall privily or sneakily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many, did you get that? It didn't say 15 people or 1500 people, not even 15 ,000.

It said many shall follow their pernicious, their crooked, their lascivious ways by reason of whom, we're talking about these false puppets, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

You hear so many people, they say, well, all them preachers on TV are crooked. Well, not all of them are, but a lot of them are. All those preachers on the radio are crooked. Well, not all of them are, but a lot of them are.

And they say, well, all they're ever after is money. All they're ever after is fame and fortune and family and pat on the back. And they want to be featured here and featured there. And they want their paper face in the newspaper.

And they want to fill up football stadiums and preach to people. And I tell you, sometimes because of these false prophets and because of these people that have fallen and have made on national television like Jimmy Swaggard and like the rest of this crowd, they get up there, the PTL Club and the TVN, and we get all of this publicity.

And then the way of truth is evil spoken of because these false lying prophets have caused people to look at the Bible and say, you know, it's nothing but a book of fairy tales. And those people cannot even keep their noses straight.

And God forbid if I should ever fall, I could fall just like anybody else at any moment. But I'm telling you, folks, we need to hang tenaciously and boldly, dogmatically to the truths of the Word of God because these false preachers, these false prophets, and these false teachers cause the way of salvation and the way of righteousness and fundamental Bible-believing Christianity, it causes that to be evil spoken of.

And their doctrines are always perverted. Their doctrines are always crooked. They claim to have extra-biblical revelation. You mark her down and mark her down well. Anything extra-biblical, bless God, is not biblical at all.

God said He would speak to us in one place, and that's through the pages of His Word. He never said He'd speak to us through visions or dreams or signs or wonders in the heavens or tongues. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13 that prophecies fail, that tongues shall cease, that knowledge shall vanish away until that which whole shall do away with that which is in part.

What's He talking about? These people in the New Testament time only had some of the Word of God, so God spoke through visions. They only had some of the Word of God, so God spoke through dreams. They only had some of the Word of God, so God spoke through these audible tongues, these languages.

Not a bunch of gibberish, but now we have the completed canon. We have Genesis 1 -1 to Revelation 22 -21, the perfect, infallible, preserved Word of Almighty God. And we no longer need visions. We no longer need dreams.

We no longer need signs and wonders in the earth, the universe, and the heavens above because God speaks through one place, and that's through the pages of the Word of God. That is why Jesus said to His disciples, the Spirit of God shall lead you into all the truth.

And so they talk about these extra-biblical doctrines. I don't want to make anybody mad, but just say for a moment, let's talk about Mr. Oral Roberts. Back in the 80's, Mr. Oral Roberts was going to start that university and start that hospital.

And by the way, it's kind of funny to me, a man that's supposed to be able to heal everybody in the world has a hospital, ok? Hospitals full of sick people, not healed people, but you put two and two together and it won't take you long to figure out he's a phony baloney if I've ever seen one.

But anyhow, Mr. Oral Roberts got on national television, and he said last night, a 90 foot Jesus appeared to me in my bedroom. I'd like to know how a 90 foot Jesus appeared in a bedroom that probably wasn't any higher than 8 1⁄2 to 10 feet tall, but anyhow, nonetheless.

He said a 90 foot Jesus appeared in my bedroom and told me, Oral Roberts, you must go out and raise $1 ,000 ,000 and if you do not, I'm going to kill you. You know what? Naive Christians, naive people around the world and all throughout America send him that money, and he did raise the $1 ,000 ,000, but you know what?

If I'd have been God, I'd have killed him for lying. You know good and jolly well a 90 foot Jesus did not appear to Oral Roberts and say, come and bring me $1 ,000 ,000. God's message is not $1 ,000 ,000.

He owns a cattle and a thousand hills. God's message is the death, the burial, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. God's message is preach the Word, be instant, in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke with all long-suffering and doctrine for the time will come.

2 Timothy 4 .3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but heap to themselves teachers. Having itching ears, and shall turn their hearts away from the truth and shall be turned unto what?

Unto fables. And seeing a 90 foot Jesus in your bedroom was nothing more than a fictitious fable that was fabricated from the lips of a false prophet. Ladies and gentlemen, they always have some type of extra biblical revelation.

Charismatic Signs and Extra-Biblical Claims

Mr. Rodney Howard Brown, he's the fellow that started this laughing revival, and it's something to laugh at, that's for sure, but I promise you, God and His holy throne is not laughing. They shimmy up tent poles and run around, kick up sawdust, swing from the chandeliers.

He tells a bunch of ballroom slutty jokes and gets up and everybody laughs and everybody falls around, and they say that's revival. That's not revival. They say, brother Locke, don't be so hard on that because they're slain in the Spirit.

They may be slain in the Spirit, but it's not the Spirit of Almighty God, and somebody better say amen. Ladies and gentlemen, we're living in a day of falsehood. We're living in a day of phony baloneyism.

We're living in a day of false preachers and false teachers and false prophets and people that are hypocrites. And this Rodney Howard Brown, you know what he said? He said one night he had a dream. And as he had that dream, Mr. Billy Graham, Dr. Billy Graham met him and told him to go to New York City and to rent out that great big Madison Square Garden.

I'm going to tell you something, ladies and gentlemen. Billy Graham did not meet him in his dream and tell him to rent out the Madison Square Garden. I don't care what he or anybody else says because the Apostle Paul said, if an angel from God, if an angel from heaven, if you will, come and preach another gospel, let him be anathema.

Let him be accursed. He literally said, if they come and preach another gospel, they're not even from God. They've never been saved by the grace of God. And these false prophets have all of these doctrines.

There's another man by the name of John Arnett. Perhaps you've read his name in the newspapers. Very famous man. He's the pastor of the Toronto Airport Church in Toronto, Canada, where all this laughing mess and all this laughing business began to take place.

And I realize, ladies and gentlemen, I'm being a little dogmatic today, but I'm not trying to be facetious and I'm not trying to be funny. I want you to know there's false prophets. If God knows my heart, we don't need any of them.

And I do not want to be one. God knows my heart, I do not. I want to stand on the pages of the Word of God. But John Arnett, Greg Lott didn't make this up. John Arnett said himself, when he got in his pulpit, the Spirit of God would come upon his congregation and the fillings in the teeth of his members.

You know the things you go to the doctor, put Novocain in your mouth, whatever it is, numb you up real good, you're all gassed up for a while. That kind of a deal. Well, he said that the fillings in his members' teeth while he was preaching the Bible as the Spirit of God moved upon those people and began to brood in that service that not only did oil drip from the ceiling, sounded to me like he had a leaky roof and needed to fix it, he said, but not only did oil drip from the ceiling, he said that the teeth, the fillings in his people's teeth turned to 14 carat gold.

Now ladies and gentlemen over the radio waves, can I be tacky for just about two and a half seconds? If you expect to believe that, you're dumb as a box of rocks. Now friend, I was born at night, but bless God it wasn't last night.

I didn't fall off the mator truck yesterday. No teeth turned to gold. Fillings did not turn to gold, for God does not work that way. That's ridiculous. That's silly. And these guys get up on TV and millions of people flock to them.

Millions of dollars and billions of dollars flock to them while they drive their Mercedes Benzes and while they drive their Lexuses and while they move around in these $15 million homes and while they make up these big things like they're poor and they have no money whatsoever, they're making merchandise the Bible says.

And that's all that they're after. And they're quoting the truth, but yet they have falsehood in their lips. And God said you better be weary of these people. I think of Mr. Benny Hinn. Benny Hinn is probably one of the most well-known charismatic Pentecostal evangelists of the day, but Benny Hinn is crooked if I've ever seen one.

The Claims of Divine Healers

I remember I was in Terre Haute, Indiana in a revival meeting at the Trinity Independent Church just across town, I say across town, probably 70 or 75 miles away in Indianapolis. Mr. Benny Hinn's crusade came to town and my meeting was going through Wednesday night and I wanted to go to a Benny Hinn crusade on Thursday night just to prove that he was crooked.

My wife wouldn't let me go. She said, Greg, you'll wind up in jail for sure. I'd just stand up and like to preach the Bible. But anyhow, he came there and there was a family in that church who had a daughter that had cerebral palsy and by the way, she still does.

They got mad and left the church because the preacher preached a message against all of this contemporary stuff about healing and this, that, and the other. By the way, I believe in divine healing. I believe God can heal from cancer.

I believe God can raise up from the deathbed of affliction. I believe in divine healing, but I do not believe in divine healers. I don't think there's somebody that's got a monopoly on God. God's not going to reveal anything to me that He won't reveal to you.

And God's not going to reveal anything to you that He won't reveal to me. That's why we have the pages of the Word of God. Well, they got mad and they left this good Bible preaching church. They called down there.

He at least said, would you call? They called down to the crusade headquarters that was going to be out of Indianapolis. And they said, can our daughter who has cerebral palsy, I'll call her name Jessica.

That was not. But can our daughter Jessica have prayer from Benny Hinn and be healed by the grace of God? You know what they said? Gospel truth. Don't believe me? Call him yourself and you'll find out how phony baloney they are.

They called down there and they said, she can be healed by Benny Hinn, be hit in the head, spit on, have a little hanky-danky, whatever it is, but just to get in line. Did you hear me? Not even to take the steps up the platform.

Not even to get on the platform. Not even to be healed. Just to stand in line would cost 155 some odd dollars and had to be paid by your major credit card over the telephone line. And I say, ladies and gentlemen, that man is crooked because you don't buy the gospel.

You don't buy healing. You don't buy health. You throw yourself on the mercy and grace of God and God will heal you. God will help you. God will take care of your every need. And God is the one that does the saving.

Not Benny Hinn. Not T .D. Jakes. Not Rod Parsley. Not Sung Young Moon. Not Oral Roberts. Not Peter Popov. Not David Koresh, Jim Jones. Not the TVN crowd. None of those. It is God that does the saving.

And these people have doctrines that are false. They have doctrines that are not in the Word of God. They have doctrines that are corrupt. And they have doctrines that are crooked. And that brings me to what I call the dollar signs of false preachers.

The Dollar Signs of False Preachers

What is their main motivation? Well, the Bible tells us in verse 3, "...and through covetousness, wanting more...". The Bible says, "...the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some covet it after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.".

Verse 3, "...and through covetousness, they shall with feigned words make merchandise of you.". You know what that means? That means you are their money supply. That means I am their money supply. To them, we are not souls.

To them, we are not people. To them, we are a source of more income. And ladies and gentlemen, if these people were really right, if these people were really holy, if they were really godly, and God knows my heart, it breaks my heart to see these people on TV lead millions of people astray and lead them to hell.

It breaks my heart. But you know what? If these people were true, they'd preach the Bible. They wouldn't get up there and beg and plead for your money. Oh yes, we do need offerings. Yes, it does take tithes and offerings to run a local church.

Yes, we do need support. Yes, the radio is expensive. And yes, television is even more expensive. And yes, we need money to run the work of God, but preachers don't always have to get up and beg and hound for money because I'm telling you, God can supply our needs.

And these fellows get up on TV and they have dollar signs in their eyes. They have sugar plums dancing in their head as we teach the kids around Christmas. And they're thinking about green. And they're thinking about money.

And they're thinking about dough. And they're thinking about more. And they could give a flying flip for the souls of men that let the whole world rot and die and go to hell as long as they can have themselves a cattle ranch, as long as they can have themselves a Rolex watch, as long as they can have more money and more pride and more pomp and more people.

And I'm telling you, some of those people live crooked lives. I watched a thing not long ago on the television. They had some of these guys who were getting all these prayer requests. You know what they did?

All they did was pull out the money. They went right to the back. They took the cameras there. I believe it was 20, 20 or 60 minutes. They took the cameras right to the back. They showed the garbage can.

None of those letters had even been written. Tears had not been prayed over those people. They had been lying about all the things that they had said. And I'm telling you, all they did was pull out the money and throw the rest away.

They're not interested in you. They're not interested in me. And let me say, they're not interested in God. They're interested in money. Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time somebody gets the whistle.

Exposing Religious Exploitation

Blow the whistle on these wolves in sheep clothing. Blow the whistle on these people that get up on national television and beg and beg and plead for money. The Bible says they make merchandise of you.

All they want is your money. They're not concerned about your prayers because they're not going to pray for you. They want your money. And Jesus preached against these people, these scribes and Pharisees, these hypocrites.

He told these people that you're just sepulchers, sepulchers full of dead men's bones. He's preaching to religious people, but yet they were money hungry. They were money grabbers. And he began to preach to them.

I wrote not too long ago, a letter to a fellow by the name of Peter Popoff. He's an evangelist. Some of you heard about him. He comes on late at night. I was one night sitting in a hotel room. Didn't have anything better to do.

Couldn't fall asleep. Prayed for a little while. Read my Bible. Got ready to go to sleep. Said I'll turn the TV on. There was Peter Popoff. He's a heretic if I've ever heard one. He'd speak one thing out of one side of his mouth, another thing out of the other side of his mouth, and he was giving away Miracle Springwater.

So they said, 1 -800 number, you can call. I wished I never would have called. They send me more junk than my secretary can handle. But anyhow, I pulled up there and I talked to one of the secretaries and I said, Ma 'am, this is no representation of you.

And I said, I mean to be kind, but why don't you tell me in the Bible where it talks about Miracle Springwater? I said, why don't you tell me in the Bible where it talks about me writing to Peter Popoff's ministry and if I send him so much money, he'll send me a hanky-danky prayer call and I can put it on my infirmities and it will be healed.

I said, why don't you tell me in the Bible where it talks about getting a little bit of miracle oil sprinkled on my head and I'll be a rich man? I said, it's not in the Bible. And she said, well, I don't actually work for the ministry.

I'm just a staffing agency, just a representation of the ministry. But we can send you some stuff and I wish I never would have ordered it because they send me stuff all of the time. And ladies and gentlemen, I listened to that ma 'am I'll try to be as nice as I can when I say this, but I figured out why his mama named him Peter Popoff.

Because every time he gets on the television, all he does is pop off at the lip and pop off at the mouth. He lies about this and lies about that. And there's all of these false prophets and false teachers on TV.

They make legs grow longer and they raise the dead and they cause fingers to grow back and they heal people of cancer and AIDS and leprosy and everybody gets all up and up in the motion and they fall to the ground and bark like dogs and shimmy and shake and they laugh and they go home and their life is not changed.

The disease is still in their body and many of them are still as lost as a ball in high weeds. And I'm telling you, all they're interested in is dollar signs. They make merchandise of you. I know some of you are thinking today, boy, Brother Locke sure is being awfully mean and cantankerous.

Sounds like he's bitter and rude against these people on the windows of heaven broadcast. But if you think that's bad, I want to tell you what God thinks about them in verse number three. It says they'll make merchandise of you whose judgment.

Did you hear that? We're talking about false preachers. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not and their damnation slumbereth not. We've seen the definition. We've seen their doctrines. We've seen their dollar signs.

The Damnation of False Preachers

But now I give you what I call in closing, the damnation of false preachers, prophets or teachers. God said right now it looks like they're getting away with it. God said right now it looks like everything as my little brother says, hunky-dory in the kingdom.

Looks like everything's fine. Looks like they've got a lot of money. Looks like they've got a lot of following and they've got TV and radio programs. And then they've got t-shirts and ball caps and they're filling up stadiums.

And it looks like everything is fine. But God said their damnation slumbereth not. There will come a reckoning day when they stand before God and these people look God in the face and He said you lied about me.

You were crooked. You told these people lies. You were false. You were a false prophet. And God said their damnation slumbereth not. Then He says in verse four, if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into the chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgment, and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly, and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overgrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly.

You know what He just did? He referred to these false prophets in the same context as He did Sodomites, as He did demons, and as He did the wicked, depraved world before it was destroyed in Genesis 6, 10, 11, and 12.

And He said these people's damnation slumbereth not. And I say, ladies and gentlemen, as compassionate as I can, God give us the truth. God give us preachers on TV who will tell the truth. God give us preachers on the radio who will tell the truth.

A Call for Faithful Preachers

But more than that, if the TVs are turned off and if all the radio antennas are busted around the world, God give us some preachers in the pulpit who will tell the truth far and wide, far and near, on every corner of the face of God's Creator.

They'll get in the pulpit and they'll preach the Bible gun barrel straight. And ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time that somebody stands up and tattletales on the truth twisters. I remember as a little kid in school, I'd do something and one of them little kids would run up there and they'd start telling, my teacher would say, now don't be a tattletaler.

Don't be a tattletaler. And tattletalers all the time are getting that rap that they're just kind of looking for trouble and they're kind of nuisances. Well, I think every now and then, friend, we need to look for trouble.

We need to look for the old trouble of the devil. We need to hit it head on straight by the glory of God and say we're not going to put up with falsehood. We're not going to put up with lies. We're not going to put up with deception.

And every now and then, God needs some tattletalers. Some people who will get in the pulpit. Some people who will open their Bible, open their hearts, open their mouth and say, thus saith the Lord, because if there's anything America needs, it is thus saith the Lord.

It is not thus saith the Baptist. It is not thus saith southern gospel music. It is not thus saith sacred music. It is not thus saith the Catholics. Not thus saith this preacher. Not thus saith the priest.

It is thus saith the Lord. And we need the truths of the Word of God to be propounded and to be preached on and to be heralded out. And if there's everything that we need today, we need not false preachers, but true preachers.

We don't need unrighteous preachers. We need righteous preachers. And God pity the man who lives a shallow life, but preaches a deep gospel. I'm telling you, if you preach it straight, you better live it straight.

If you preach holiness, you better live holiness. And ladies and gentlemen, what we need to do is stand up and let people know that there's false prophets everywhere, and God's people aren't going to stand for it because what we want is the truth of the Word of God.

And I hope today you've been enlightened to the fact that all around us, there's money-hungry, money-grabbing, non-compassionate-in-their-heart preachers who are interested in one thing and that's their own gain.

They're not interested in the gain of God. They're not interested in the gospel message or else they would preach it. They're not interested in your soul. They're interested in getting more people so they can have more money.

But God, give us people who love the truth. Lord, bless this broadcast wherever it may go. Lord, I know we've been hard today, but I pray to Your Father that we would desire the truth. You would put a passion in our bosom to want to have the Word of God open to our hearts so we might truly know what is the truth of Thy Word.

And we'll thank You for what You'll do and say. In Jesus' name, Amen.
