(The Church in the Last Days) 03 - Double Minded Adulteress — Milton Green

Transcript Introduction and Warnings About Tradition

In the Word of God, it sometimes conflicts with what he has previously been taught. This causes you to have to deal with old traditions or wrong teaching. These tapes may contain some new light from God's Word and it may be opposed to some traditions you have previously learned.

Therefore, follow through these messages in your Bible in sequence in order that you may be able to make a choice for the Word of God rather than the traditions of men. This is tape number three in a series.

We urge you to listen to all the tapes in the series in numerical order so that the whole teaching can be received and understood. Listening to a part of this series or to the tapes out of sequence can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature, the intent, and the importance of this series.

Conforming the Heart to the Image of Jesus

Well, the Lord wants us to, our hearts to be conformed to the image of Jesus. Isn't that right? Our hearts were the image and likeness of Satan. Our hearts were in agreement with him, so out of our mouth comes the fruit of Satan.

We repented, we changed direction, and now we resist the devil so that his words do not get down in our hearts so our mouth won't be speaking, so it won't be the image and likeness of Satan. Isn't that right?

So we are to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him, bearing fruit in all good works and increasing in the knowledge of God, and we are going to be strengthened in all power according to his glorious might.

For the attaining of steadfastness and patience joyously, we give him thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in life. He's delivered us from the domain of darkness, and he's transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption and the forgiveness of all our sins.

Amen? Who his own self has taken over weakness, sickness, disease, infirmity, curse, and sin, and by the stripes of Jesus we are healed, and many of you right now are some of you are being oppressed here tonight, aren't you?

Hold up your hands. So they're coming here and so forth? Right. I think some men are. Let's just pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus, we just thank you for this word that's forever settled in heaven.

Your word is the final authority, and Lord, we just want to bless you and thank you for love. We just thank you that we put to death all the works of selfishness and self-centeredness, all the works of Satan, of the cursed nature.

We just thank you that we are being conformed to your image, that we are reminded as being renewed to be, to walk in the image and likeness of you, that we have received the word of reconciliation because we're being reconciled back to God.

We put to death the deeds of rebellion. Now Lord, I ask your blessings and grace over this meeting, and I plead the blood of Jesus against every work of darkness. You've given us authority over all the works of darkness.

I plead the blood of Jesus against every work of distraction, anger, intimidation, all the works of legalism, unbelief and doubt, traditions. I separate and seal these with blood. Every religious stronghold, the spirit of harlotry in Jesus' name is bound in Jesus' name.

Every spirit of error is separated and sealed by the blood and bound in the name of Jesus. Every word, curse and spell over this meeting right now, we break this in Jesus' name and we release this and remove it because we bless our enemies right now in the name of Jesus.

We bless those who hate or despise us and we just release these works from here in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and now in the name of Jesus, Lord, I expose by the blood and separate and seal by the blood all these works of infirmity and destruction right now that are attacking these people's body right now.

You sent your word to heal them and your word is life to them and helped all their whole flesh. Your word doesn't return void. We receive the word right now. I take authority over all of that works of pain right now.

Pain, we renounce all the word curses of pain. We renounce any trust in anything except your world to heal them and now in Jesus' name, lift up your hands. This pain and soreness is leaving right now.

All the works of ache and headache, we seal you by the blood and we rebuke you and I command you to leave each person right here in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You're released right now. Just say they're gone.

Just say it. They're gone in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the works of infirmity, destruction, destruction, you're in detention right now. The works of infection and diarrhea are released right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

They're removed in Jesus' name. They're removed. All heaviness and gloom and bondage in the name of Jesus, you are separated, sealed by the blood and you're removed from these people right now in the name of Jesus.

Just say bondage is gone. Say it. Heaviness is gone. Gloom is gone. Burden is gone. In the name of Jesus. Say it. They're gone in the name of Jesus. All the works of false burden and false responsibility and false peace are gone right now.

It's released in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We always triumph in the name of Jesus. We're born again, kept by the power of God. We're redeemed by the blood. We're born again by the Word of God.

We're complete in Jesus. Our sins are nailed across. We're sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. All confusion and mind-wandering and mind-binding and the works of distraction are separated. We have this by the mind of Christ.

Hold up your hand. Hold up your hand to Jesus and let it go. There goes confusion and all the works of mind-binding spirits. In Jesus' name, they're released now in the name of Jesus. Bless the name of Jesus.

Thank you, Lord. All is well. All the works of darkness has been assigned. All the rulers against this meeting and if there be any hindrance here, we break your authority. We bring you under our authority in Jesus' name.

All the works of darkness under you in Jesus' name are under our authority. We separate, seal you by the blood, bind you and remove you in Jesus' name. We hold the Word in the blood as a hedge against all reinforcements in Jesus' name.

And now in the name of Jesus, I speak blessing, peace, grace, love, healing, deliverance over every man. Hug four people around the neck before you sit down. Praise Jesus. Love Him. Well, praise the Lord.

The Double-Minded Adulteress and Doctrines of Men

Now, I'm going to try to put two things into one, so I want you to turn your Bible quick and we're going to get in it and we're going to get through it. We're going to talk about the double-minded adulterous and the doctrines of men tonight, okay?

We're going to get that together and kind of if there had been any other time to fit it in there, I would have sat down tonight because I want to hear what Bob and Rick have to say there. But we need to get this in at this point.

And so we'll just go ahead and do this. Now may I ask you something again? What kind of bride is the Lord Jesus Christ coming after? A spotless bride. May I ask you one question? Is someone who practices sin or practices any lust rebellion that they don't give up, may I ask you something?

Is that spotless and blameless? Alright. Someone who practices sin is not receiving chastisement. They're making this thing unidle. See, we come to the Lord with all our heart, is that correct? And when you let your heart go to the world, the things in the world, or anything, or operation of the lust or cursed nature, and you will not give it up, and you continue to practice it, that's rebellion and idolatry because a child of God will come to the light as we've seen in John 3.

Amen? Alright, now, turn me quickly to Romans 13. Now we're going to have a Bible drill tonight and we're just going to see mostly what the Bible has to say tonight. And, oh, I'll tell you, I knew at the very beginning this was going to be a special time and that we'd just been enjoying it a bunch.

Alright, in Romans 13, we see in verse 12, the night is almost gone, the day is at hand, let us therefore lay aside, what? What are we going to lay aside? The deeds of the flesh, the deeds of rebellion, the deeds of lust.

And then we're going to put on what? We're going to put on the armor of life, is that right? Now, I want you to remember that the armor of life is over in Ephesians 6. We're going to put it on. Now, I'm going to go through these things quickly because most all of you are familiar with these verses and this is just a little review for you.

Now let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing, drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. Now, let me just remind you of something. You lay aside rebellion, look at me.

You lay aside rebellion and you put up the weapons of Jesus. What do you put up the weapons? One of them, it says, above all, you put up what? The shield of faith. What do you put up the shield of faith?

Just like Jesus did in Luke 4, you put up the shield of faith so no rebellion is going to come to your mind down here into your heart. You stop it right up here because our weapons are mighty in God to tear down strongholds, casting down imaginations, every thought that exalts itself against the Word of God.

All lust of flesh, the lust of the eyes, the boastful pride of life is rebellion, exalts itself against the Word of God. And it says you will take every thought captive through the obedience of Jesus.

And that got in your Bible to do, not analyze. Amen? And we're to do that. So that is our weapons. We will put them on because we are purifying our heart, which is sanctification, which is separation, being reconciled back to God.

Amen? So, now, in verse 14, so we've changed masters from Satan. Our heart used to live for this cursed nature. Now we have a change of heart. We're walking in a new direction. We play aside the deeds of darkness and rebellion.

We put on the Lord Jesus Christ and we make no provision, no provision, no provision, no provision, no provision for the flesh in regard to its lust. Did that say no provision? What do you think it's saying somewhere?

Make some provision? Obviously, there's something that the Bible doesn't say two different things, does it? All right? So that's the reason we know it. Bob taught about the carnal Christian when he was here before in 1 Corinthians 3.

And so, anyway, we make no provision for rebellion. I mean, this is what we repented from so we don't forget our former sins there and we forget and move right back into it. Now let's, if you will, please, I want you to look with me in Ephesians.

Turn over to Ephesians 6 and see what your Bible tells you and I that we're to do. Ephesians 6. Ephesians 6, verse 11. Now your Bible says, now when your Bible says to do something, this is the mirror and we see, we come to look in the mirror to see if our lives line up with what the Bible says.

Is that right? Our lives, our hearts are supposed to line up with right here, the Spirit and the Word in agreement, right? Now in verse 11, you put on the full armor of God, you put it all on. I mean, God said put it all on, didn't He?

You put on truth, you put on righteousness, you put on the Gospel, you put on the Word, you put on faith, you put on salvation, you put on all of these because if you don't have all these, what do you think is going to happen to you?

The powers of darkness are going to run you over. All right, you put on the full armor of God that you may be able to stand against what? What are we going to stand against? The schemes of the devil. What is the schemes of the devil?

Rebellion. The lust of flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boast of pride of life. They talk to you up here or they speak through someone and then when you receive it in your heart, then it's going to come out of your mouth and then you're going to be speaking in rebellion to God.

Amen? That's because the fruit of it, when they can talk to you up here, it gets in your heart. The fruit of it is going to be coming out of your mouth. Where it's pride, ego, rebellion, selfishness, whenever these things get in your heart, it comes out of your mouth.

That's discernment. Amen? Okay. Now, if we look there in verse 13, therefore it says, we already read over in Romans 12, you lay aside the deeds of darkness and take up the armor of light, right? What is the armor of light?

So no more deeds of darkness will be in your heart. That's what you repent and lay aside, so you make no provision for the lust of flesh. So you put on this arm. Now, folks say, well, I already know these things.

Hey, folks, this thing gets plainer to me every time I go through these things. I see more. And I'm going to tell you something. That is what the war is. That rebellion doesn't get in your heart, that your heart don't be with the heart you believe in the righteous, with the heart you believe in the unrighteous.

Amen? Okay. Now, therefore you take up the full armor of God that you may be able to what? You're going to resist. In other words, you're not going to turn back. You're not going to turn back. You're not going to turn back.

You're going to overcome and endure to the end. So that you may be able to resist an evil day, and you're going to do everything to stand firm. Now, 16. In addition to all, you take up this shield of faith.

That's the same shield of faith that Jesus had in Luke 4 with which you're going to be able to extinguish all the lust, the flesh, the lust, the eyes, and the boast of pride of life, these words that exalts itself against the Word of God, which are called flaming missiles of the evil ones.

Amen? Now, they come to your mind. How many of you are aware there are demons of pride, there are demons of selfishness, demons of all the fruit of Satan, there are demons of. What do you think they do?

They talk to you. They want to build rebellion in your heart. But if you're not in a war, you've got a false security somewhere, you're not in a war. And if you're not in a war, rebellion's in your heart.

Because if you're not resisting the devil, you're not resisting rebellion. Amen? Okay, now, go with me back to Galatians 5. Turn back to Galatians 5. And I want to remind you real quickly of something that we've read.

Turn back to Romans 8. Hold Galatians 5 and turn back to Romans 8. And we see who the sons of God are. Now, let me remind you again, we're walking one direction, and our mouth and our hearts are in agreement with Satan.

Satan is our master, and these powers of darkness of pride and ego, they're keeping this cursed nature stirred up. Then you come, you see the light, you see the gospel. You receive the Word in your heart, you change directions, you make a 180 degree turn, which is repentance.

It's a change of heart. And now you're walking in with a new master. His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. And yet, at this point, you become a son of God. Jesus said, at one point, He said, Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say?

Now, let me ask you something. When Jesus becomes Lord, do you do all your best to help Him, or do you listen to Him and follow Him? All right, I'm going to tell you what. May I ask you something? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord if you're not led by the Spirit of God?

No, you're still Lord. You're still Lord. Now, let's look right at verse 14. For all are being led by the Spirit of God. Very plainly, this gospel and Bible right here said, These are the ones that are the son of God.

Is that correct? Well, let me tell you something right there. So in verse 12,. So then, brethren... Now, are we talking to brethren? This is the Son of God. Is that right? Brethren, we're now under obligation.

We are under obligation. It's not to the flesh anymore, not to rebellion anymore, not to live according to the flesh. For if you continue, if you're just living according to the flesh, death is working in you.

Sin and death is working in you. But, sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, and you see, if you're led by the Spirit, what are you doing? The Spirit of God doesn't lead you into rebellion. The Spirit of God leads you to put to death all the deeds of the flesh, and that is life.

That's the difference in life and death. Is that right? So, look at me. So we put to death all the deeds, our hearts turn into pride, and the Spirit of God will put a spotlight on it. We love Jesus more than we do any of these things, and we'll give them up.

We love Jesus more than we do pride. We love Jesus more than we do unforgiveness. We love Jesus more than resentment. We love Jesus more than anger. We love Jesus more than hate. We love Jesus more than greed.

We love Jesus more than the world. We love Jesus more than the things of the world. We love Jesus more than people. We love Jesus more than everything, because He's Lord of our whole heart. Amen? And so when the Spirit of God shows us anything, this has got to go, it goes.

You suffer in the flesh and you seek sin. Amen? Amen? Because you will come to the light, because you hate the deeds of darkness. And if a person does not come to the light, he loves the deeds of darkness and his heart.

So that's how you're going to know them by their what? You'll know them by their fruit. Amen? So, we know that through Adam that the curse of death came on us, that that was the nature of Satan that came on us.

And we see that Paul had said, who's going to set, in 724, who's going to set me free from this body of death? Very plainly in chapter 8 verse 2,. For the law of the Spirit being led by the Spirit of God alive in Christ Jesus set you free from the law of sin and death.

You put it to death, and that's the reason when you're led by the Spirit of God, there's no more rebellion in your heart, you'll put it to death when the Lord comes to you and shows it to you, because you're going to have a pure heart that's sanctification, and without the sanctification, you shall not see the Lord, unless you've got another Bible.

And that has to do with the fear of the Lord that we learned today. Boy, that was good. I mean, it was good, real good. Well, so, verse 4, In order that the requirement of this law is going to be fulfilled, and this law is written, this law is to people to show them that the judgment of hell is on them, that they're in rebellion, it's written to the homosexuals, the ungodly sinners, and unlawful people, to show them, and it says in this requirement of this law, it's going to be fulfilled in those who do not walk according to rebellion anymore, but they're led according to the Spirit, they're led according to the Spirit, and you can't take these things and fit them into any boxes today.

The boxes are going to have to line up with the Word. This is a box, all right? Now, if you go over to Galatians 5 now, we see something there, do we see that the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God?

Huh? All right, in verse 16, But I say, Walk by the Spirit, verse 16, 5, 16, and you will not, you will not, you will not, you will not, you will not, care out what? You will not care out the desires of the flesh.

You will not care out the rebellion, because you will come to the light, because you're going to let the hedge down on yourself when you have rebellion in your heart, and immediately you're going to know that you're not walking in peace, you'll get before God, He's going to show you exactly what it is, you repent, you turn from it in your heart, and immediately the hedge comes back, amen?

That same hedge is supposed to be around the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the reason He said you walk along the hedges and compel them to come in, come into peace. It's a walk of peace. But it's not peace.

Walking by the Spirit Instead of the Flesh

There is, I want to read something to you in 1 Peter 2. In 1 Peter 2, Beloved, or verse 11, I urge you as alien and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against your mind, will and emotions with your flesh.

When you give in to lusts, rebellion, the lusts of flesh, your lusts of the eyes of most repiled, when you give in to it, you lower the hedge, and there is a war that comes against your mind, will and emotions, and that's where the world is, and this is where.

So, we are back in 1 Peter 1, 14 through 16, these obedient children, we are not conformed to these former lusts which were ours in our ignorance. We're no longer in darkness now, but like the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One, we're going to be holy in all, all, all, all, all, all, all our behavior, amen?

So, if we are led by the Spirit of God, we will not carry out any rebellion. Is that what your Bible said in Galatians 5, 16? Let's don't act like it's not there. Is it there? Okay, now the next verse, now I don't care what people are doing, I'm talking about what's in this Bible, amen?

Okay, verse 17, for the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, the Spirit against the flesh, these are in opposition, so that you can no longer do the things you please, but if you're led by the Spirit of God, that means there's no rebellion, if you put to death all rebellion, so you're no longer under judgment, no longer under the law.

Is that right? Now, there's a church today, a lot of people who call themselves, Jesus became a curse for me at Calvary, but they're not led by the Spirit of God because their fruit is very obvious that they're not led by the Spirit of God.

In other words, they count to rebelling to God, amen? And kind of like I'm talking about Babylon in Revelation 18, too, it's a dwelling place of demons, and they have a right to be there. But if you look further at the fruit of this Spirit in 22, but the fruit of the Spirit, being led by the Spirit of God, you're going to walk in love, you're going to walk in joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness against self-control.

You put to death all the deeds of rebellion, and there's the fruit of God, and against these kind of things right there, there is no what? Look at me, folks, when you're led by the Spirit of God, you put to death the deeds of all rebellion that your heart turns to, right?

I mean, you die to it, you suffer in the flesh and see some sin, 1 Peter 4, 1 and 2, is that right? All right, then, when you put it to death, your mind is being renewed. What's it being renewed to? The image and likeness of Jesus.

It's being conformed back to God where you fell from in the first Adam and the last Adam brings you back into God, is that right? So when your heart is living for, led by the Spirit of God, the Spirit of God will lead you to do away with every rebellion in your heart.

Anything it's to, it'll lead you to do it, unless you want to make Jesus one of your idols. See, that's chastisement. When you're being chastised, there's something the matter with your heart. You go right then, and you can enter into peace, well, you turn from it in your heart right then, repent and turn from it.

And any time you haven't got peace, there's something wrong in your heart, amen? And I'm telling you, the walk of, Jesus is a walk of peace. It's a walk of peace. And I'm going to tell you, Hebrews 3 and 4, to enter into rest is not optional, it's a commandment, amen?

You will enter into rest, unless you've got another gospel. But see, there's no law, get such things there is no law, that's the reason you're no longer under the law. There's no law against these things, because when you remove the barrier from your heart, you're out from under the law and you're out from under judgment when you're put into death, amen?

Is that right? But, you have another, you have some more scripture back there, I want us to look at verse 24 first. Now, those who belong to Christ Jesus, if you really belong to Him, you crucify the flesh with its desires and passions, amen?

Now, if you belong to Him, you crucify it, you die to it, amen? And it's there, isn't it? All right, now in verse 19, now, the deeds of rebellion are evident. Now, how are the deeds of rebellion evident?

Look at me, folks, this is a very important thing, this is why I'm going back over this, because I'm going to be talking about the mouth tonight. The double-minded adulteress, the mouth. The deeds of rebellion, just like Matthew 7, you're going to know them by their fruit, it's because it's going to be coming out their mouth.

Do you understand that you can mix a little of God and a little of the devil? I wonder what they call something like that. Wouldn't be adulterous, would it? Huh? Absolutely. And that's what you're going to see tonight.

So, you're going to know them. For the deeds of the rebellion, see, there is a law and judgment against it, but there's no law against the deeds of the Spirit, but there is a law and there is judgment against people who practice rebellion against God.

And that's what a form of godliness leads you to do, say, Lord, Lord, and He says, I don't know you. Is that what He's going to say in Matthew 7, verse 21? Okay, you know the fellow under there, right under there, what was he doing?

He was casting out demons, he was prophesying, and he was doing miracles, and he was also, Jesus said, I never did know this fellow. I never did know you. Well, he said, well, you know, I'm doing all these things in your name, Jesus.

Yes, but I wasn't in 25 miles of it. I wasn't in 25. You were practicing lawlessness. You were practicing sin. I never did know you. You never did repent. You never did turn from it. The powers of darkness were used in you.

All right, let's continue. Now, the deeds are the flesh, the deeds of rebellion are the fruit of rebellion. The deeds of rebellion are evident, which are immorality, impurity, what's the opposite of a pure heart?

Impurity. Is that right? Sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissension, factions, envy, and drunkenness, carousing, and things. What is he talking about?

The things of the flesh, the things of the cursed nature, rebellion, circle like these. The things like these, verse 21, which I forewarn you. Now, before I read the rest of it, we're not going to act like it's not in there now, are we, huh?

I forewarn you, just I forewarn you, that those who watch, if you practice these things, you shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Now, go running. If you want to run and find some scripture and just kind of say, well, let's see.

In other words, we've got to prove the Bible wrong because the structures have hearts, you know. See, because if you ever say, hey, you know, we hadn't been taught this, well, then you get to choose between this or this.

And then, if this has got your heart, then you go find you something else to explain away the word of God, if you're not entering the kingdom of God. Is that what your Bible says? You'll not enter there if you're practicing.

Why won't you enter into it? Because you've made an idol out of some things. You love something more than you love the Lord. Is that correct? Now, while you're there close by, let me just show you in Galatians 6, verse 7.

Now, God says things do not be deceived because He knows the things that you can be deceived about. God is not mocked for whatever a man sows, this will he reap. Now, look at me. How do you sow? You sow with your mouth.

You understand that? You sow with your words. Seed come out your mouth. Now, let me ask you something. If the enemy's got rebellion in your heart, what's going to come out your mouth? Rebellion to God.

All right. Now, look here. Now, look, I want you to hear this. Now, you're told to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. You make no provision for the rebellion. You put up the weapons. Well, what do you do? You're getting to war.

You're no longer war after the flesh nature. You're no longer war. But your weapons are mighty in God that you got in Ephesians 6. And you put up this shield to prevent rebellion coming down in your heart.

How do you prevent it? You take every thought captive. And you tear down every stronghold, every imagination, every thought that exalts itself against the Word of God. All lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the boast of the pile of life.

All the works of darkness exalt their self against the Word of God. It's counseling rebellion. Amen? So, when you do this, what's in your heart is what comes out of your mouth. Is that right? All right, now in verse 8.

For the one who sows to his own flesh, if that's where your heart is still living, that flesh is going to come out from your mouth. And what you're going to reap from this flesh is going to be corruption, because you don't have a repentant heart, and you really haven't turned from your faith.

Is that plain? And this will get plainer. But, but means the opposite of corruption. You know, by the way, in 2 Peter, with the divine nature, you escape the corruption of the world. This fellow didn't escape it right here.

But the one who sows, sows to the Spirit, and you saw, did you see the two different kind of fruit over here in Galatians 5? It's sowing to the Spirit, it's sowing to the flesh, if that's what's coming out of your mouth.

Huh? Amen? Practicing? But the one who sows to the Spirit, he's the one that's going to reap what? He's going to reap eternal life. That's right. Now, will you please turn to me to Ephesians 5 quickly?

Ephesians 5. Ephesians 5, verse 5. God said a certain... He's going to warn you again about being deceived, and there's something you can know for certain, verse 5. This you can know with certainty, that no immoral man, no impure...

What's the opposite of a pure heart? An impure heart. All right? No immoral or no impure person or a covetous man, no idolater as an inheritance of the kingdom of Christ and God. Hold your place right there, and I want you to look with me in Colossians 3 one more time.

I tell you, you can't see it enough, because this is where we're at. Colossians 3. Hold your place there and turn to me, Colossians 3. Colossians 3, now look with me in verse 5. Now, did we see in Ephesians 5 that none of these people right here are going to enter the kingdom of Christ?

How many kingdoms of Christ are there? Somebody has the idol of the kingdom of God, what are they going to do to the kingdom of Christ? All right, now, Colossians 3, verse 5. Therefore, consider the members of your earthly body, you're going to be dead to immorality.

You're going to be dead to what? Impurity. So that means you have a pure heart, right? You're dead to all impurity, because you love Jesus and His Word more than any impure thing that Satan can put in your heart.

Amen? Okay. You're dead to impurity. You're dead to passion. You're dead to evil desire. You're dead to greed. All of these things amount to what? They amount to idolatry when you will not give them up.

You keep them. Amen? They are idolatry. And Jesus will not be one of your idols. That's the reason you're not going to inherit the kingdom of Christ. It's a false security that would make you believe that, and I'm going to show you exactly what that is tonight.

It's another gospel. Now, 6. It's on account of these very things that the wrath of God is coming and the wrath of God is on anyone who practices these things and not turn from them. If you don't have any problem with that, restart John 3, 16, and then read over the last verse, and you'll see the wrath of God remains on them.

Verse 8. Now, you also put them all aside. Here are these deeds of darkness. Here is what the wrath of God is coming for. Anger, wrath, malice, slander, and what? Slander and abusive speech from where?

Your mouth. Did you notice what all came out of you last night when we dealt with these things? Then a bunch of things just start. When you dealt with slander and judging people, and when you judge someone, immediately the powers of darkness have ground in your life.

When you condemn someone, immediately when you slander or gossip, immediately you've got a problem with the powers of darkness. That's understanding the fear of God. When you have unforgiveness or unmercy in your mouth, immediately you've got a problem with the powers of darkness in that area of your life.
