seventy father we come to you we day q large as we contain look at the book of first john and look at the last couple verses in chapter two we thank you lord for your word that teaches us how to get deeper and lord god we want to get deeper in truth lord we got to want to get deeper in your love lord we want to get deeper in cleansing i want to get deeper and walk in victory and so i pray father god as we get a deeper walk with you that we can be a reflection of jesus christ the other side to southwest to get deeper into your tru now in jesus name amen so we've been talking about the fact if you're going to reflect the life of christ we need to do what we need to get deep christ we need to get close to christ the song that was saying earlier was t that we just say it says he's my friend and a cane is that amazing he's my friend and he's a king and i want to get to know that keying and a greater way so they can also understand him who he is as my friend and  go deeper christ will reflect the life of christ so we're going to pick up where he left off we're going to go to first judge chapter two verses eighteen to twenty if you have your bible look up whatever translation he is i'm use the new american standard bible you can use whatever translation what is going to tell you the same thing is going to say little the difference and we're going to give the same principals the same points no matter what translation you use if it's the word of god is the word of god for first john chapter two eight hundred twenty says children it is the last hour and just as you heard that any crisis coming even now many any christ have appeared from this we know that it is the last hour that they went out from us but they were not really of us for the been of us they would have remained with us but they went out so that we saw the show and that there are not of us did you fall with all that but you have been anointed from the holy one and you all know we're going to continue the concept i have not written to you because you do not know the truth because you do know it's because no lie is of the truth who is the liar but the one he denies that jesus is the christ this is the anti christ the one who denies the father and the son whoever denies the son does not have the father the one who confessed the son has the father also as for you let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning if what you heard from the beginning abides in you you also will abide in the son and in the father verse twenty five this is the promise which he himself made to us eternal life these things i've written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you as for you the nineteen which you received from him abides in you and you have no need for anyone to teach you but as his annoyed and teach you about all day and it's true is not a lie and just as taught you you abide in him and then twenty eight to twenty nine now little children abide in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him in shame at his coming if you know that he is righteous you know that every one who practice righteousness is born of him this go back to the top does go to first john eight twenty after jesus was over two thousand years ago he says children is the last hour how can it be the last hour two thousand years of happened how do you know that the last hour for you could be the last hour how do you know that your last hour might be right now how many know for that generation it was the last hour for that generation of people how we know that our generation is the last hour for our generation but how many know that maybe just maybe we are in the truly the last hour and so he says chillness the last just as you've heard that ad in christ is coming and now many anti christ have appeared from this we know there's a last hour when he says anti christ saying even even now there's false prophecy even now there's people teaching lies how true that's true in our generation how we know in our generation people are teaching all kinds of lies and calling the truth now how many know that now there's a there's a new movement called churches big church small churches or churches or islam say well maybe not so much different we just did a series on islam are we different as christians than muslims totally different so how can there be an got a lot of us as a lot of went out they went out from us that means they laughed at the time they were with john the apostles and they left this is they were out from us but they are not really our boss what does that mean we're part of us so what about when you have churches and some people levy some people with this and then they leave and then they leave they do what they gossip about the church are bad the church is and i would argue the simplest people would never have us in the first place if you're turned around to bad mouth the church and you got saved and there's a problem but it says they did just as a day they went out from us but they were not really of us for if they have been of us they would have remained with us now some is going to say does that mean i have to be at this church forever that's not what that saying that's not what he's talking about when he says that maine with us has remained in the same doctrine as the same belief system as us that they were teach a different how you leave that island i've left the church that i was out for about what twelve fifteen years now the church twelve fifteen years i left them but in my heart is still with them and my heart still with them i want to see them prosper i want to see this receipt i want them to continue to preach the gospel you understand i'm talking about do you leave a church and then you turn around and say you know i hope god curses them then you one of us in the first place he says they want to remain with us but they went out to be shown that there are not of us so they laughed they care they laughed and they cause division and cause trouble they started to gossip they did all those things and that proves they does that prove that because if you're of this church doing that you're not of us if you leave this church and you will gossip you a bad mouth you will complain about other people you a gossip but other people then you're not of us how many know that some be white lies according to god who made up white lives and why they white so bad lies or black lies and white lies are not as bad lies the guy met with a white and black concept we know that  black as darkness has prior the concept is but is there any light in iraq i so there's no such thing as a white lie there's no such thing as a partial truth and not read to because you don't know the truth because you know what he said you know the truth and the lies of the truth buddies tell a lie you know that's not true who's the liar but the one denies the jesus the christ who that's a strong statement what does that say who is the liar but the one who denies that jesus is the christ he's saying if you deny jesus as the messiah you're walking in an anti christ spirit there's a powerful statement so what does that do to all the polls all the other religions as say jesus is not the messiah they're walking in a lie he says that is that the anti christ spirit this is the anti christ the one who does the father and the son so if you deny the son if you deny the father and if you denied at the equal as you deny that jesus noid did want if you deny that you're walking in what you walking in alive and you're walking in an anti christ spirit does this make you think about something whoever you can see that jesus was on the earth you can see that he is a good man you see g is a good profit is that what he's talking about what he's talking about is when you deny that jesus is the messiah that jesus is god that the  god dwells within jesus he said if you deny that then guess what you do not have the father you have got in your life that's a powerful statement isn't it that's a pretty direct statement saying if you don't believe  jesus christ is the messiah if you don't believe jesus christ is lord of lords king of kings then you don't have the father in you you have no relationship with god when it comes to a father and son a father and child relationship is that str herbs that's pretty strong words that's pretty direct words but listen what he says verse twenty four is for you let that abide in you which you have heard from the beginning if what you heard from beginning abides and you you from the truth he said if you heard the truth don't let the aqua chatter that the world says that when you know the truth and you have the truth the set you free listen if you know the truth about us as a set you free if you've been set free don't let me put you back in bodies by telling you a lie going to be anti christ false parents that are calm and try to convince you otherwise is that happening in a row has happened a role now that people are trying to dissuade us from so they're saying the bible really doesn't say the really doesn't say about whatever the subject matter is i know somebody who said that at the beginning of time anybody know who that was called say ted the beginning of time he says he says avery peace to what god tells them and then the devil says with he did really let me exactly explain what he meant don't listen to somebody that is of the devil dip back into your past get back into it and here's the key if you're not in the going to god you don't know the word of god when the anti christ comes what happens now all of us say well with mabel be raptured before the christ comes well we can debate that all day long some you don't know we're talking about because everyone read it but rather the anti christ comes before the church is rapture not as says there will be false christ and they will try to just say and i hate to tell you there's something nobody wants to top but there it bible talks about a falling away how can you fall away unless you are in the way the way is who jesus jesus is the way if there's a fall in a way it means that the way from the way that you was sure you can find any by the tells you what you want to hear so you turn around and you got a bible has got a bunch of cut outs from it with or you're boxcar that you cut out that verse you cut out that verse you whited out ever hear that verse i'm going to tell you you're not abiding in the word anymore created your own word and you create your own word guess what you're going to fall for false christs that are out there so he says you buy the son and you buy it in the father now listen to this then he says look at context this  spirit they're called the is the one who puts the earnest money down force he's the one that puts the sylph what does it mean because we have the holy spirit in there it's a done deal is a done deal you can know about jesus but when you have all the spirit live within you you have the guarantee anybody know about owners money when you have earnest money what you put money down to get a house and that's a good care he isn't it well most of the tide symbolism don't always work because you live in a you do you think of what devils arms weapons against you the word of god says no weapon formed to get you shall prosper if there are no weapon for mcginn to share prosper there are some weapons being formed against you and if you're not in the word they can use as weapons against you he says these days are pretty concerning those who are trying to deceive you says i'm giving you advice right now abide in the word acknowledges christian lord and savior spend time in this word stress the holy spirit  guiding you and you can have deep deep hole now listen here's verse twenty seven and thereby like to take this one everybody loves this one that are a rebellion because when i first twenty seven say as so he right there john says you should even be listening to see me reading this you should be listened to because you don't need nobody to teach you get rid of all pastors i got the holy spirit hemi ever heard that anybody use that one not you but you know anybody that used that one yeah we really don't need pastors we don't need bible college we we don't need teachers or the word of god because i got the holy spirit in me and he shows me everything and prove it to you right to the word says  have no need for anyone to teach because you know it the rest of you know how to counter that is that word of god is a true so how do i counter that well i'm a pastor so i get my my little box cutter i cut that out so nobody sees it in their bible that's i counter that is that i counter it no say what does that mean because all over and over again scripture talks about the fact that we need to be taught that teaching you about how to swim where they teach in you they were so if god raised up men and women did teach you the word then something's wrong here i don't know what happened to john got  god uses people that make sense can god use people to teach you ok so in the midst of your nineteen years what happens with the to take this in the midst of your walk in the noise and  and you're being led by god's spirit you're full of god's spirit in the midst of it you turn on a radio station and you bit train about what you should do should i move to new york to texas i really haven't our time and i listen to the radio station it talks about a ministry in texas and as a minist always want to do what does that tell you maybe should move to texas how did god tell you to that guy that was tacky but did the guy that was the guy did he know you twisted a little bit as for you you're not walking in that nineteen and you're not invited him and so you need a teacher with there to say that if you're not walking in him you probably need somebody help to teach at a walk in him but what about walking a such way my ears are always open i'm open to what the holy spirit is doing i'm open to a god is saying i don't need somebody to teach me i need god to teach me and out of it god uses people use person uses the places and things ok this go to the blessed portion here now little children abide in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink away from him and aim at his coming if you know that he is righteous you know that everyone also practise rights is born of them this break it down this don't make it say what it doesn't say because really ed do x or g s we don't add or subtract this take what is does that make sense a bye to him so when he appears who appears jesus he appears the second coming of jesus you might say second come the rapture when he appears we may have what know confidence in him and your relationship with him and we may have caught that in in our relationship with him a confidence in him and not shrink away from him and shame at his coming those are some powerful words this see what it says here we abide in him as we buy to him up with us and if we have confidence when he comes we won't shrink away you won't hide that's something to think why would a christian  side from jesus if he's coming why why would a christian hide he's telling us that some christians might try to hide is any doesn't mean they're not saved is say they're not saved and it's coming i want to take a look at this can i tell you if you're living a life of rebellion as a christian you're living a life where you're not confident in your relationship with christ you're living a life of questioning your salvation because the life that you live can you still be saved you can be saved right i wonder if i'm saved or not because the life i'm living can you still be saved subbase is a based upon your works so can you be saved but what kind of life is that what kind of life is it that you're doing that you know god doesn't want you to do what kind of life is that you have that kind of life and so what happens with that kind of life is your choice looking around will be saved john one seven says you must be born again acts
