Opposition from Family and Friends I remember a young boy, sitting, just drinking and everything about as I preached, to such a degree he stood out, and I remember seeing his face so beaten, it was almost like a pulp, that his father had taken that boy and punched him with every bit of force, as if it was a grown man, with hatred, punching that boy's face, screaming, I'll beat God out of you, I'll beat God out of you, that boy landed up a criminal, all his life, most of his life in jail, be careful, you that are available to Satan, what you do to stop your children, watch what will happen to them, if you let the devil use you, he comes immediately, oh how many members of homes of the household are the real enemies, a man's soul's enemy, if they try in every way, in any way to withhold you, and how many people have had to pay great price, lose their families totally, to choose Christ, how many have I not known, I'm not talking about a few, across this world, across my nation alone, so many multitudes, I wonder what percentage didn't lose everyone, you think everybody just came to Christ, because you have a happy home, bringing you more up in the fear of God, but wait, you wanted to see the broader church of Christ, that didn't have the things you've had from the beginning, that came to Christ, and what they had to, but oh, what they had to choose, I've seen women so smashed up, by a man who never touched them, in respect, until they began to see Christ, I've seen women, you cannot believe, what the husband turned and did, when suddenly, it was revealed, they're going to lose them to Christ, they became, through believing this, they lose everything, they lose the right to see their children, and how many husbands haven't said, choose between Christ or me, and the children, because if you choose Christ, you lose these children, I won't let them near you, you will not have them, I'll fight to make sure that, how many women, haven't I known, and men, Muslim men, who were told straight, choose Christ, or lose everyone, Satan comes immediately, and everyone in that family, stood there, making that choice also, to be used of the devil, thank God, for the multitudes, who are willing to lose everyone, and everything of their loved ones, I've met so many, who never ever spoke another word, in their lives, to their children, the day they chose Christ, they weren't allowed to, or they were threatened with death, by religious leaders of other religions, Satan comes immediately, he can use a Christian, to take the word out of your heart, I mean, you hear the word, and you know, someone's truly saved, someone who brought you, but how many Christians, haven't been on guard, and someone now is in that building, someone's actually listening to the gospel of Christ, and they know you're Christian, the devil orchestrates, things that he knows are your weakness, suddenly he realizes, there's a weak thing, I can get, and you think he doesn't know how to work it, that the person, who's suddenly hearing the word of God, who suddenly can seek God, isn't just there, where he knows, and he orchestrates, and you aren't on your guard, and you fail, and this person looks and says, well, this is Christianity, I don't want him, the devil takes the word out of their hearts, through you, through Christians, who just weren't guarding themselves, do you think the devil won't use you, are you available for the devil to use, to keep souls from seeking God, once they've heard the word of God, people you've been brought to meetings, are you on guard, are you tender with God, Christians, who tell others about Jesus, and they know, and you're the means, by which the devil orchestrates, what you didn't know, he was going to, and you fall, don't think he hasn't got the power, to make sure everyone, that you're trying to influence, is there, right there, he'll even put the cushions down, where he knows you're gonna fall, if he knows you're not tender with God, as you should be, he can use preachers, he can use preachers, who poured themselves faithfully, from the pulpit, and then they didn't do what Paul says, after they've preached, they thought, well now I can rest, no, that's when you've got a God brother, that's not the end of the battle, the preaching, and the, oh, he can use preachers, who didn't like Paul, bring their bodies under subjection, their whole life under the discipline, now that they preach, lest that by any means, when I've preached to others, I myself should be a cast away, I've got to be under such a, get tender with God, stay such in touch with God, for grace now, if you dare to preach, or the devil can just get you, to fall, what a terrible stench, to someone who has any reputation of wisdom, just a little folly, that's all the devil needs from you, to make multitudes stumble over you, that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away, Paul says, I bring myself under such a discipline of life, to protect myself and others, and what will happen to all, that I've preached to, when I fall, well just look at the public newspapers across the world, when preachers of repute have fallen into sin, do you honestly think they run by Christians, they'll kind of do it discreetly, they will drain out the last drench of blood, to bring damage to the kingdom, because they're not God's children, don't think the children of God run the media, just give them half a chance, if you're famous, and what of the millions, who know, listen to you, the seed has been there, as they've listened to your stand for God, what, how many millions haven't said, well that's Christianity, and they just turn their back forever, oh you can use preachers, who don't realize, you've got to be in such a disciplined life, once you've preached, preacher, you take that responsibility, you have the responsibility of the soldier now, not when you walk from the pulpit, but to stay real, when you walk from that pulpit, that you're not the means by which, they will turn from God forever, if they say, oh he takes away the word immediately, he finds any means available, you available, say, are you available for Satan to use, preachers of truth, Christians, who truly are born again, who want guarding against the weaknesses, you have in the orchestrated circumstance, the devil, he can use liberal theologians, and he does, oh they think they said, setting God, but liberal theologians, who have theology coming out of their, been through all sorts, you know, and they can tell you the Hebrew and the Greek, to explain why doesn't mean that, or this and this, be careful, the devil, he doesn't come with horns, he appears the angel of light, God warns us, and so don't be in any way surprised, when his ministers are like angels of light, be careful, they'll come like angels of light, but to take, they'll come with theology, they'll come with explanations, they'll come with Greek, to tell you why it doesn't mean what you've just heard, to undermine, he'll send them, if they're available, he'll use any means available, tell me liberal theologians, are you available for Satan to use, to take the word of God out of their heart, or who do you think he uses, they should believe and be saved, he can use warring churches, show me what percentage of evangelical churches are left, that aren't at war, smashing up, just divided, how many churches break up, and break up, and break up, and they say it's doctrinal, let me tell you what it is, people are so unyielded to God, that they can't be in subjection to anybody else, but those who subject to them, otherwise it's the end, warring churches, where do you find souls, and now you try and bring them to hear truth, in what percentage of evangelical churches are warred with each other, they can't, the younger cannot be in subjection to the older, no, they're taking over the music, they're taking over, just say, oh tell me something, are you at war, be careful if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed, one of another Paul says, and so people come in to hear the gospel, you dragged them, you're the one all praying for them to come, but you're at war, do you think devil won't use that, do you think they won't sense immediately, this people hate each other, you, they hear the word, it's true, they're impacted, but they sense, do you think they won't sense, these people aren't forgiving, they don't love each other, they literally at war, it's hatred here, you know, they don't know this is in the bible, but Jesus said this about people who don't know, that this is what he said, so think about this, they shall know you are my disciples, if ye have love one for another, they don't even know that they know it, but if they sense hatred, no matter what faithful preaching went from the pulpit, they'll say no, they'll just withdraw from this atmosphere of what they'll know, and do you think the devil won't let them know, I wonder what percentage of people are going to hell, who sat in evangelical churches hearing truth, but the devil took the truth out of their heart, because of the people who invited them, who can't love one another, above all things have fervent love among yourselves, is that above all things?
