it's sunday night and our subject is the doctrine of the devil the dark of the devil is everything that's about false doctrine i am utterly amazed that preachers never ever mention faults doctrine and false teachers i never hear any of them how turned on radio preachers all turn on t v preachers none of them ever talk about false teachers and false doctrine yet the bible warns of false teachers hundreds of actually thousands of times jesus would say he would say the way list any men deceive you for many will come in my name saying i'm christ and they will deceive many and they will turn around and say oh when matthew the seventh chapter he will talk about a false teachers not bearing any fruit and he'll talk about not everyone that says lord lord is going to enter in the kingdom and when you look up false teacher false prophet in your coordinates it's got just hundreds of times that these words are mentioned and you got that false teachers all to the old testament in paul talks about him constantly he talks about people preaching false doctrine and yet you never hear these preachers talk about it it's in their always trying to make people feel good and the reason they don't talk about false teachers is because it's them why are you going to continue seth they are the false teachers false doctrine always has an element of truth in it always you cannot deceive somebody and lead them astray if you say something that's obviously not true if you say that cinderella was the messiah and the seven dwarfs were apostles well that is so outrageously ludicrous that you wouldn't even consider that but if you would take jesus words use christian terminology prayer and sa salvation and worship and take these words in twist them and put your own spin on them and make the main whatever you want them to mean in order to make people feel good good that's what jesus said that men do it he even said just because you use words to put two supposedly on or maybe he said that doesn't mean anything he says he said that men then the fifty chapter of matthew he quotes  he says people will honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me so lip service and even saying god jesus or jehovah doesn't mean anything if men are not obedient to the word of god it doesn't mean anything now we're doctrine people don't talk about it therefore most people don't even know what it is it's a twisting of truth you always have to have some truth in every lie when you add truth with a lie you get one the whole lie that's what you get you don't have a truth live truth you have an entire lie by twisting the word of god and we're we're talking about the doctrine of the devil you that a lot of flowers in my yard false teachers remind me of morning glory you are morning glories it's a real beautiful little purple flower in fact you can get in now with the little white lines on it's a little it's a really pretty flower comes out in the morning but when the sun gets hot and things it bright it closes it looks so seductive and you know  get a lot in the rose bush will start dying you wouldn't think a little sweet little purple flower that all it has is a vine it has no stickers on it it has no thorns of any kind it's not it just looks beautiful in it but when the light comes out it can't handle the light it closes up that reminds me of false teachers when you shine the light on and it closes a and they do like morning glories morning glories literally take over all of your flower bed if you don't pull them out i have to get out there and these beautiful little flowers that come out the morn how to start poor know how and they still won't go why they're so invasive they'll just literally take over if you don't do something about it and it was amazing i planted one and i've got them all over yard everywhere and they're just wrapping around everything and get around you can a luisa get around and they'll strangle everything and all they do is just look pretty and twist that's all they do twist and grow twisting they will strangle your entire yard and all your flowers if you don't do something about it that's exactly what a false teachers they look pretty well they're they they look like what jesus said over here in matthew twenty three when he was condemning the false teachers look at it this reminds me of a morning glory and that's exactly what false teachers are like they look pretty they sound pretty they don't look like they're dangerous and they're twisting will strangle the plants out there and you know what they do they only kill real slow they'll go round and round they'll take one they'll take one rosebush and go around a slow over weeks they'll go around the other and they're branch off and they'll grow around all the bush for you know what the bush covered they can't bloom and starts to die and that's the way false teachers are they look pretty when the sun comes out they the light comes out and they back off and they close it like the morning we were they ought to call them little demon glories hypocrites for you may claim the outside of the cup and the platter but with the end they are full of extortion in excess that's where morning glory is isn't it now i love my morning glories but i have to keep them too out of the yard because they will literally like why did separate curse which indeed appear beautiful outward but are within full of dead men's bones in ireland clean this even so also outwardly appear righteous and a man but with him her full of hypocrisy and iniquity now this is typically it's and that's what i say a hypocrite is an actor and assume character in a more glorious acting is acting like i'm just a little purple flower and i'm not hurting anything but if you leave it alone it will destroy your whole for our garden and it'll be the only thing that's left and that's exactly what if you don't stay after the false teachers they'll do the same thing and we're talking about the doctrine of the devil we've been using a 's two particular words here that we're looking at depart from faith depart from faith and faith faith goes in a thousand directions i mean it has so many variables to it everything that faith does everything that faith is everything that faith affects effects and the other words that are connected to faith words words connected to faith that are affected by leaving faith to like a guy play god pay faith words so so it means under stand so if you depart from faith you depart from understanding the word of god in faith hears faith cometh by hearing and here are  means to understand that's what it means and when you talk about the heart it means the place of understanding the place of understanding so if we confess with that mouth what's written in our hearts then we quit confessing we stop confessing is agreeing with god every day what jesus said well if you quit telling people if you depart from faith then you quit witnessing you stop confessing which is witnessing you stop witnessing and if you stop witnessing you're no longer suffering for righteous sake so use depart from suffering for righteousness say unto you is given the half of christ and i don't believe a bony but also to suffer for his sake so you quit suffering no more suffering and this is the reason most people they want to they want to depart from faith they want to quit i want to quit this is too hard gerrard said this morning said jim this is hard for a young man i said i know it is true hard for young people is to be involved in faith well you depart from that and you quit suffering persecution suffered persecution suffered persecution and persecution you so men that depart from faith they quit they quit going through the fire and it goes on to say in the further verses that we need to suffer as a christian not suffer as an evil doer and then he with great difficulty so when a person is is being tried he's going through the process of salvation which is great difficulty so he ceases the difficulty in his life he said jim does that make him an unbeliever know that making a believer that means he stopped being all that god requires i have his believers but that doesn't mean god's going to leave him alone god will deal with a man you cannot get away from leg we're predestined to conform to the likeness of christ were elected to obedience you can't get away from god if you belong to god he's going to beat you until you behave that's it there is i keep saying we there's a saying faith part is not saying some shall depart from the faith from now on they depart from the faith and they give heed to seducing spirits if they are believers first of all you can't be part you can't that a man who is buying his cross was said to be standing and he was an upright man in the first century so you depart from being upright being honest you're no longer honest you start line a little here and there you start to cheat and lie and just to get ahead in life and you know realize if you've blown to god was no going to let you keep doing that when you depart from faith in your believer you can't depart if you're never adhering to something i can't leave this building unless i'm in it i can't go out of the building i can't walk away from the building unless i'm with the building so depart from the faith he's talking about believers he says some shall be power from the faith he didn't say everybody that's in the faith will depart from it some say i quit this is too hard  wanted to quit he said lord you deceive me i quit but i can't quit it's a burning inside of me if you truly believe god is going to be a burning inside your heart you can't get away from me get up and depart from the faith yes i departed from the faith i got meant the world to get mad preachers i went through a lot of personal problems domestic problems and a lot and i quit and i just took off i had a gospel group actually change the sound of the groove we quit saying departed from faith and all you do is get further and further into long deep dark hole until god brings you out of it he won't leave his children alone he's not going to leave you out there and darkness you may be depression may get darkness that's a part depression is a part of being a believer that's what paul said he said you had he said i was pressed out of marriage i despaired of life then the first chapter second christians he said i was pressed out of measure i despair edward despaired if the word bit means completely with no way out he says god finally brought me out of it though you'll be down when you depart from faith and you'll leave i love this be this was thrown out in the streets and left for it was worthless as long as it was just a war you can't take go to without putting it through a process you can't have a diamond without putting it through a process and have it cut sometimes they may find a diamond they've been order for us to be done and that's worth shining in order for us to be well something has to put us in the far now departing from the faith you depart from all of these and everything that faith is in faith make my own way and i'm going to do the things i want to do and i'm going to be happy by backing my life plans no you will not if you belong to god you cannot be appy it's impossible all the time i was out there in the world trying to be somebody i knew i was in the wrong place i  and i kept thinking this thing will get happier as we go along and it never did it never does you cannot leave the faith and go somewhere and say i'm going to get away from this truth what you're going to do you go china you can get your little bed head over that you could lay down in the meadow and the first night you go to sleep you got to say predestination is true and god does not love everybody christmas and easter pagan and what are you and you going to take your thoughts with you you can't get away from it once you learn it you cannot learn it's kind of like trying to unlearn your multiplication tables i don't want two times to be four and i don't want three times to be six and i don't want to for them said to be twenty eight any more i want to be something else and i will try to forget that you can't forget it now we're talking about good men do you when you depart from faith you depart from the pure word of god you know what men do they begin to twist the bible to have their way when i was out in san i'd say we're all sinners well we're all even we're all wicked therefore i can do what i want to do and i started making excuses for my santa have you ever done that we can't get away with it when you belong to god there's no such thing as backing up going off you sin again and being ok it is over it won't ever happen again you can't go back and have the innocence that you had in your teens and you can have the wickedness you had your twenty's if you're in your fifty's and you can't have that witness it you had when you sat there and you sin and you can't have the have god said you can't do that anymore you know better and what he does is make your life miserable he'll take you down into the pit you keep going down down down down and you won't ever come out and you'll sell me feel like die he says now he'll bring you to a place and when you get tired of self you're not tired of self when you want to shoot yourself when you want to take poison you want to commit suicide that's not when you're tired of self that's not it when you're tired of cephus when you brought down so when you say i give up i won't do what you say i'm tired of you and i won't do what you won't and i'm going to be this simple little worker for you i'll dig ditches for you i'll do anything for you i won't look for any of plows any awards that's when you get tired of self when you say i'm sick and tired of sef trying to have self sway and seth is not going to have his lady more i'm sick of that man i'm going to live for god that's when you're tired of self i out there in the world they quit the pure word of god and we have to preach the pure word of the sound doctrine we're to reprove rebuke exhort with our own suffering that's another word faith is is evidence of things not seen evidence is you cannot be a believer and live in rebellion get by with it if you think your life is miserable as a believer track to live righteously wait until you as a believer start trying to live unrighteously you have never you have never felt the hail that god can put in your life you said but i didn't have it years ago when i was off and i said you didn't know then what you know now you had been converted then what you've been converted you cannot go back and say i want to be the way it used to be it will never be that way i'm sorry you're in for the ride you're in for the duration you're in for the fire the trials of the persecution the hate people hate you when you depart from faith you depart from people hating you because you don't say anything that makes them hate you you don't tell them christmas is pagan any more you don't tell me she's begging you don't tell them god doesn't love everybody you don't tell them they have to go through fire draws you just a nice guy living next door to somebody and you talk to them about as bad as fish in about his boat about his car about his house but you never catholics used to live next door to us back twenty five thirty years ago and we ended up going over to the catholic church with them for a gambling night and they gave us some money and was over there gambling or whatever they were doing they usually end up doing stupid stuff you say i wouldn't do anything like that but you do you wonder i have said you don't think it's so bad anymore and you end up with some bad it's a totally than being on your best friends and you never mention you never mention god to him and you wonder why you're so completely miserable if you think you can go back to where you used to be you can't you say but this is so hard it's a lot harder being a believer going out there trying to live like the devil like you used to because god says i don't allow my children to do that when i have brought them to the knowledge of the truth i'm jim brown your bible teach you here at grace in truth ministries hendersonville tennessee if you'd like a free tape we give all our tapes the way we give the gospel without charge and we never solicit anybody people say happy to do that when i believe that people who are tired of all this much gospel go in the churches when they find out there's a real truth they will support a ministry but we ask for nothing and the tapes will be yours from now on as long as you just stand with us people ask what you believe what we believe that christmas is pagan it's the old saturn that you are the feast of saturn that was brought in the chargeback constant thing we believe that ishtar easter is ishtar it's the resurrection of the gras which is just it's a veiled ishtar and we believe in predestination predestination is about god conforming romans eight twenty nine god conforming his people that he foreigners to be conformed to the image of the likeness of christ so that brings in responsibility and accountability and then we believe god created evil we do not believe god loves everybody and john three sixteen does say that call me and i'll tell you about it neither the second peter three nine say that not in the original text it doesn't and if you'd like to know what we do believe we believe god loves jacob and esau before they were born now we believe in that has to do with god's people that have been preordained to turn away from themselves and be like christ and we believe in daily cross and death to self and self denial we believe in agonizing over sin we believe this is a tie the message we preach here if you like to be a part of it give us a call one eight hundred six
