03:18Well, good morning, friends.
03:20Yes, it is Sunday morning, podcast time.
03:27Say hi to all my shut-ins.
03:30I sure do love you.
03:32Hey, thank you for tuning in to Sunday morning teaching.
03:38I usually take about 45 minutes or so and we can chit-chat for a bit.
03:41And you can make comments if you want.
03:47I'll try to answer some of them.
03:50Got another good Bible study for you today.
03:52Thank you for all your prayers and support for last Friday.
03:57The healing service was fantastic.
03:59Fantastic.
04:00It was so, so good.
04:04Thank you so much, guys, for supporting and praying for the men's service we had last month with Rick.
04:12I mean earlier this month with Brother Rick.
04:15And it was the bomb.
04:19It's the bomb.
04:20Our Tuesday night's discipleship class with Jennifer is booming.
04:27Absolutely booming.
04:28Thank you for your attendance and your prayers.
04:30We appreciate your help and your support of the ministry.
04:35Special prayer request.
04:40The deliverance center got hit last week.
04:45Somebody vandalized our air conditioning system and stole some copper lines, piping or what have you.
04:55And it's going to cost at least $4,000 to fix it.
04:59Then on top of that, we found out we had termites.
05:03We've been, that's going to cost about the same, something similar, $4,000.
05:11So anyway, appreciate your prayers for that.
05:14And I will be receiving a miracle from God soon over both those issues.
05:20And he's going to take care of everything as he always does.
05:26Thank you for your prayers and your support.
05:28Please remember our two live services every week, Thursday and Friday nights at 7 o'clock.
05:35Don't forget to check your clocks.
05:38Don't forget to set your clocks now.
05:41We're falling back.
05:42And we used to be the same as Pacific time.
05:49But now we are mountain time.
05:53And Pacific time is an hour ahead of us.
05:57So please adjust your timetable accordingly.
06:02So you don't get all screwed up.
06:07I like to give a lot of practical advice on these teachings as well.
06:11Spiritual advice.
06:13You know, I'm like a big league pitcher.
06:16I got three, four, five pitches.
06:21Don't forget about our Tuesday night.
06:23Discipleship class starts at 6.30.
06:28Once a month we have a healing service for our children, pre-teens.
06:35Fourth Saturday of the month at 10 o'clock in the morning.
06:38We have another discipleship training class, the fourth Saturday of the month at noon.
06:42And we also have a counseling center.
06:50If you are a born-again Christian and you see a counselor and you have no money, no insurance, you will have no problem.
06:58Call me, 602-636-5800.
07:03Send me an email, mike at hardcorechristianity.com.
07:08And you're there.
07:10Many years ago, a long, long time ago, when I was in the Assembly of God religion,
07:19let's, I don't know what that was, what, 25, 30 years ago, something like that.
07:23But anyway, I read through the Bible numerous times and
07:28I'd come across scriptures that just confused me to no end.
07:35And I wanted to share a couple of them with you that I found extremely interesting
07:43and extremely confusing many years ago.
07:49As you might remember, in John chapter 4, a nobleman came to Jesus
07:57and he was begging him to come and heal his son.
08:04His son was dying.
08:07And Jesus said something funny.
08:12Funny, odd meaning.
08:15He said, except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
08:18And the man didn't want to discuss that topic.
08:25He just wanted his son healed.
08:27And Jesus said, go your way.
08:30Your son's healed.
08:31But that statement he made to that man really bothered me.
08:36The Greek word for signs is Simeon.
08:39And it means miracles.
08:41The Greek word for wonders is Taurus.
08:49And it means miraculous events that blow your mind.
08:56Things that are like, wow, did that really happen?
09:00Signs and wonders.
09:03And then Jesus made some specific references to that,
09:08which left me extremely confused many, many years ago.
09:12I never understood anything about what he was saying.
09:18Check this out.
09:19He's talking about Matthew 24.
09:21And he's talking about the great tribulation
09:25and things that were going to be happening in the future.
09:29He explains the tribulation.
09:34He explains how horrible it's going to be.
09:36He then explains the days had to be shortened for people to be saved.
09:41It was so bad.
09:44And then he says something else interesting in the last days.
09:48Here's what he said.
09:48Verse 23.
09:49It's fascinating.
09:51He said, then, if any man shall say to you,
09:58lo, here is Christ.
10:02Christ, the Greek word is Christos.
10:05It means the Messiah.
10:06Here is the Messiah.
10:10Or the Messiah is over there.
10:13Do not believe it.
10:17Then he said in verse 24, something that was much more confusing to me.
10:22I struggled with this verse for years.
10:24Verse 24, it says, for there shall arise false messiahs, false Christs,
10:33and false prophets.
10:39And they will show great.
10:43That's the Greek word.
10:46Megas.
10:47Megas means huge.
10:51Okay.
10:52Megas, not maga.
10:54That's a different situation.
10:56Megas.
10:57Big.
10:58Huge.
10:59The bomb.
11:00Wow.
11:02Megas.
11:03Signs.
11:04Simeon.
11:05And wonders.
11:09Taurus.
11:11Taurus.
11:13In so much that, if it possible,
11:16if possible,
11:19they will deceive.
11:23Greek word plenao,
11:25to lead astray,
11:27to lead down a bad path,
11:29to get off the good path and go down the bad one.
11:33Plenao.
11:34Deceive
11:34the very elect.
11:40Eklektos.
11:40Eklektos is the Greek word for the church.
11:45The chosen.
11:47The selected group.
11:49The church.
11:49The selected ones.
11:50The chosen ones.
11:51That's you and I.
11:55Behold, he said,
11:56I have told you before.
12:00Therefore, if they say to you,
12:02behold, he's in the desert,
12:04don't go out there.
12:07Behold, he's hiding in secret.
12:10Don't believe it.
12:16And the fact that
12:18false prophets
12:20and false Christ
12:23had the supernatural power
12:26to perform miracles
12:29and signs and wonders
12:32really left me very confused
12:36as someone who was
12:37in the Assembly of God religion.
12:39I was extremely
12:44confused over that.
12:47And I never understood it
12:49until I saw the events
12:53of
12:54the last 10 years or so.
12:57I never understood
13:03what
13:05supernatural power
13:07created
13:09false
13:10miracles
13:12and wonders
13:14supernatural events.
13:19And
13:20people
13:21like me
13:25back then
13:26were also
13:27very, very
13:28confused.
13:30How could,
13:31how can
13:32a false
13:33prophet
13:34perform
13:35miracles?
13:36How's that work?
13:39How can that be?
13:41That bothered me.
13:43And
13:43nobody I ever
13:44talked to
13:45years ago
13:46ever had an answer.
13:49No,
13:49no,
13:50no.
13:50Everybody seemed
13:51as confused about it
13:52as I was
13:53because
13:53a miracle
13:55is a miracle.
13:56And now
13:57I'm hearing
13:58Jesus say,
13:58look,
14:00miracles are not
14:00just miracles.
14:02Some of them
14:03are God
14:04miracles
14:05and some
14:06of them
14:07are Satan
14:07miracles.
14:09But they're
14:10still miracles.
14:12You see that?
14:13That bothered
14:14me
14:14because that
14:16term
14:16signs
14:17and wonders
14:18was used
14:19interchangeably
14:20now.
14:20so
14:23when you
14:23think,
14:25hey,
14:25a miracle
14:26happened to
14:26me,
14:26you're not
14:27going to
14:27believe it.
14:28Well,
14:29you may not
14:30believe it
14:30because
14:31A,
14:31it could be
14:32just a
14:33made-up
14:33story.
14:34B,
14:34it could be
14:35a satanic
14:35miracle.
14:37C,
14:37it could be
14:38a
14:39holy ghost
14:40miracle.
14:44And this
14:45concept never
14:45came clear
14:46to me
14:46until
14:49several
14:49years ago
14:50I went
14:52on a
14:52missions
14:53trip
14:53to
14:54Nigeria.
14:56I've been
14:57there three
14:57times
14:58on mission
14:59trips
15:00holding
15:01deliverance
15:02crusades
15:04and deliverance
15:05meetings.
15:07And
15:08the first
15:09time I
15:10went
15:10to
15:11Nigeria
15:12was in
15:122002.
15:14and
15:18I
15:21heard
15:21about
15:22a
15:23prophet
15:24over
15:24there
15:25named
15:26T.B.
15:26Joshua.
15:28I heard
15:28all about
15:29him when
15:29I was
15:29there
15:30and
15:32I
15:32left
15:33confused
15:33because
15:34I heard
15:35these
15:35stories
15:36that were
15:36positive,
15:37these
15:38stories
15:38that were
15:39negative.
15:41T.B.
15:41Joshua,
15:42you probably
15:43heard of him
15:44as well.
15:45Well,
15:46back in
15:46those days
15:47it wasn't
15:50a household
15:50word in
15:51Christianity.
15:52I mean,
15:52he was
15:53known,
15:53but I
15:53mean,
15:54not like
15:54how well
15:55he became
15:56known years
15:56later.
15:58And so
15:59these people
16:01that I
16:02had talked
16:02to when
16:03I was
16:04there who
16:05had been
16:05healed at
16:06his services
16:07in Lagos,
16:09they swore
16:11by him
16:11and
16:12who
16:13wouldn't
16:13swear
16:14by him.
16:17Some
16:18of these
16:18people
16:18had
16:18severe
16:19illnesses
16:20and
16:20sicknesses
16:21and
16:22they
16:22were
16:22healed.
16:23three
16:27years
16:27later
16:28in
16:282005,
16:30a woman
16:30came to
16:31see me
16:31for
16:32counseling
16:32and
16:33prayer
16:33and
16:34deliverance.
16:36And she
16:36came to
16:36see me
16:37from a
16:38local
16:39ministry
16:39here in
16:40Phoenix,
16:41a really
16:41big one,
16:42a nationwide
16:43prophetic
16:43ministry.
16:44and I'm
16:46not going
16:46to name
16:47the name
16:47of it
16:47but
16:48I was
16:51at that
16:52time
16:52I thought
16:55their
16:55ministry
16:55was great.
16:56I had
16:56been to
16:56several
16:56of their
16:57services.
16:59I had
16:59gone to
17:00seeing
17:00Todd
17:02Bentley,
17:02I saw
17:02Patricia
17:03King,
17:04I saw
17:05Steve
17:06Swanson,
17:06I saw
17:07all kinds
17:07of different
17:08people,
17:08I saw
17:09Heidi Baker,
17:11I saw
17:11all these
17:11people back
17:12in
17:13the late
17:161990s,
17:17early 2000s
17:18and I
17:20didn't think
17:21anything of
17:21it,
17:22I thought
17:23it was
17:24okay,
17:25that's what
17:26it is.
17:27And I
17:28also saw
17:29other,
17:30again,
17:31signs and
17:31wonders,
17:32I saw
17:32strange
17:34things happening,
17:35you know,
17:36gold dust,
17:36angel feathers,
17:37different things,
17:39gems,
17:40diamonds,
17:41everybody
17:42talked about
17:43them,
17:43everybody
17:43saw
17:44these
17:44things.
17:45And I
17:46thought,
17:46well,
17:46you know,
17:47I don't
17:47understand
17:47all that,
17:48but they
17:49told me
17:49you can't
17:50put God
17:50in a
17:50box.
17:52That's
17:52what I
17:52was told
17:53and I
17:53thought,
17:53well,
17:53okay,
17:54sounds
17:56okay to
17:56me.
17:56Well,
17:57something
17:57happened
17:57to me
17:58in 2005
17:59and I
17:59wanted to
18:00share
18:00with you
18:00and I'll
18:00keep it
18:01short
18:01because I
18:01shared
18:02this
18:02story
18:02before.
18:03I
18:03apologize
18:04if you
18:04already
18:04heard it.
18:06But a
18:06woman came
18:06to see
18:07me from
18:08this
18:08prophetic
18:08ministry
18:09and she
18:09was wanting
18:10prayer and
18:11deliverance.
18:12And after
18:12I had
18:13interviewed
18:13her,
18:14I didn't
18:15find very
18:16much wrong
18:16with her.
18:17In other
18:17words,
18:17she didn't
18:18have any
18:18serious
18:18pathology
18:19of any
18:19kind.
18:21She
18:21needs some
18:22prayer maybe
18:22for a few
18:23things.
18:24A little
18:25bit of
18:25childhood
18:26trauma,
18:26not much.
18:27Wasn't a
18:28significant
18:28case.
18:30She also
18:30was a
18:30beautiful
18:31Christian,
18:32very nice
18:32person,
18:33definitely
18:34loved the
18:34Lord,
18:36worshiper,
18:38whole nine
18:38yards.
18:39She was
18:39in the
18:40ministry
18:40at this
18:42prophetic,
18:43major
18:44prophetic
18:44organization.
18:46She was
18:46in the
18:47ministry.
18:48Well,
18:49I took
18:49her into
18:49the prayer
18:49room and
18:50to make
18:51a story,
18:52let's
18:52shorten the
18:53story real
18:53quick.
18:54Started
18:55praying for
18:55her and
18:56it was
18:56like I
18:56stepped
18:57on a
18:57landmine.
18:58Boom.
18:58This
18:59woman
18:59started
18:59manifesting
19:00demons
19:02like I
19:02had
19:02I
19:03hadn't
19:04seen
19:04before.
19:05And I
19:05mean,
19:05the demon
19:06was talking
19:07to me.
19:08And I
19:09can't
19:10remember
19:10everything
19:10he said,
19:11but he
19:11just told
19:11me in
19:12no uncertain
19:13terms,
19:13I'm not
19:14coming out,
19:15she's mine,
19:15this kind
19:16of stuff.
19:17Well,
19:17to say
19:18the least,
19:19I was
19:19absolutely
19:20shocked.
19:20I didn't
19:21think the
19:21woman really
19:22had any
19:23demons.
19:24If she
19:25had any
19:26demons at
19:26all,
19:26they were
19:27probably
19:28mild ones,
19:30easy to
19:30get out.
19:31And then
19:32this monster
19:33starts
19:33attacking me
19:35through
19:35her.
19:36And I
19:39immediately
19:39said,
19:41hey,
19:41I missed
19:42something
19:42here,
19:43I've got
19:43to launch
19:44an attack.
19:45And I
19:45did.
19:46And she
19:47went through
19:47about an
19:48hour,
19:48hour and a
19:49half of
19:49deliverance.
19:50It was
19:50pretty wild.
19:52But anyway,
19:53all the
19:53demons came
19:54out and
19:54then she
19:55was so
19:56happy and
19:56so relieved
19:57and she
19:57felt so
19:58free.
19:58she left
20:00my office
20:00and went
20:00back to
20:01this major
20:02prophetic
20:02ministry and
20:03told them
20:03about me.
20:05And so
20:06the summer
20:07of 2005,
20:09I had
20:10literally a
20:11parade of
20:12people coming
20:13into my
20:13office from
20:14this ministry.
20:15I had
20:15prophetics
20:16coming in
20:16like you
20:16wouldn't
20:17believe.
20:18I was
20:18seeing
20:19three,
20:20four,
20:20and five
20:20of them
20:21a day,
20:22six days
20:24a week.
20:25I was
20:26young back
20:26then.
20:27I had a
20:27lot more
20:28energy than
20:28I do
20:29now.
20:30And this
20:31went on
20:31all week,
20:33all summer,
20:34week after
20:35week.
20:37And God
20:39took this
20:40period of
20:41time to
20:41teach me
20:42about this
20:42verse in
20:43Matthew 24
20:44that Jesus
20:45was talking
20:45about.
20:46In the
20:47latter days,
20:48many false
20:49prophets and
20:50false
20:51Christ shall
20:52rise,
20:54showing
20:54great signs
20:56and wonders
20:57that will
20:58deceive the
21:00church.
21:02That's what
21:02he said in
21:03that verse.
21:04Matthew 24
21:05verse 24.
21:06It's easy to
21:07remember,
21:07right?
21:0824,
21:0824.
21:10And I
21:11never
21:12understood
21:12how all
21:14this worked
21:15until I
21:17started seeing
21:18these people
21:20who were
21:20Christians
21:21performing
21:23or seeing
21:24or being
21:25involved
21:25in
21:26signs
21:27and
21:28wonders
21:28because I
21:31didn't
21:32know
21:32the devil
21:34could do
21:34that kind
21:35of thing.
21:35I didn't
21:36understand
21:37what Jesus
21:37was talking
21:38about.
21:40Then,
21:40as you know,
21:41in 2 Thessalonians
21:42chapter 2,
21:43the false
21:44prophet is
21:44described,
21:45and those
21:46exact terms
21:47are used
21:47for him.
21:48he performs
21:50great signs
21:51and wonders.
21:54Simeon
21:54teres.
21:57Mind-boggling
21:59supernatural
21:59events,
22:00wonders.
22:02Simeon
22:02miracles.
22:05Miracles.
22:06And as you
22:06know,
22:08healing is a
22:09miracle.
22:10Casting out
22:11demons is a
22:12miracle.
22:13That's the way
22:13Jesus worded
22:14it in the
22:15scriptures.
22:19Remember?
22:20He called
22:21them miracles.
22:24And so,
22:25I never
22:27realized how
22:27dangerous
22:28and how
22:30frightening
22:30this whole
22:31situation is.
22:32and now
22:34in 2025,
22:36going into
22:372026,
22:39it couldn't
22:40be any
22:40clearer now.
22:41If you go
22:41on YouTube,
22:43you will
22:43see
22:44these
22:46people
22:47from
22:48Africa.
22:50All
22:50these
22:51ministers
22:53who
22:55are
22:55showing
22:56signs
22:56and
22:57wonders
22:57and
22:59supernatural
23:00events
23:01happen.
23:02And
23:03many of
23:03them
23:03are
23:04good.
23:05Some
23:05of the
23:06signs
23:06are
23:06good
23:07signs.
23:08Some
23:08of the
23:08miracles
23:08are
23:09good.
23:10Somebody
23:10getting
23:10healed
23:11is a
23:12good
23:12thing.
23:13In
23:13the
23:15prophetic
23:15movement,
23:16I saw
23:17all these
23:17strange
23:18events
23:18happening.
23:21Gold
23:22dust,
23:23angel
23:23feathers,
23:25diamonds,
23:27gems.
23:28Now,
23:29those in
23:29and of
23:30themselves,
23:30are they
23:31bad?
23:31No.
23:32But what
23:33are they?
23:33They're
23:34supernatural
23:35glory clouds,
23:38supernatural
23:39events,
23:41Simeon,
23:42or their
23:43terrace,
23:43a wonder.
23:45Here comes
23:46a glory
23:46cloud,
23:47falling into
23:48the service.
23:50And these
23:51false,
23:53fake
23:53miracles
23:54are being
23:55performed
23:56formed by
23:57familiar
23:58spirits.
24:01Just like
24:02I went
24:04through in
24:04the summer
24:05of 2005,
24:06I was
24:08casting
24:08out
24:08thousands
24:10of
24:11kundalini
24:12spirits
24:12out of
24:14these men
24:15and women
24:15who did
24:16not know
24:17they had
24:17them.
24:19They
24:19weren't
24:19aware of
24:20it.
24:20they
24:22didn't
24:23know
24:23they
24:23had
24:23them.
24:25I had
24:25dozens
24:26of people
24:26come in
24:27who had
24:27angel
24:29sightings
24:30in their
24:32home,
24:32at their
24:32church,
24:33in the
24:33ceiling of
24:34the church,
24:35standing
24:36out in
24:36the parking
24:37lot.
24:39I mean,
24:39they saw
24:40them
24:40everywhere.
24:40I had
24:42people come
24:43in who
24:43had taken
24:44a trip
24:44to heaven
24:45and saw
24:47all kinds
24:47of weird
24:47things,
24:48strange
24:48stuff that
24:50made you
24:50go,
24:50gosh,
24:51that doesn't
24:51make any
24:51sense.
24:52Why would
24:52that be
24:52in heaven?
24:53You know,
24:54I remember
24:56listening to
24:59Pat Kerr's
24:59testimony one
25:00day,
25:01and she
25:04said that
25:04she had
25:04taken a
25:05trip to
25:06heaven,
25:06and she
25:07saw hundreds
25:09of aborted
25:10babies.
25:10babies at
25:11a playground
25:11in heaven,
25:13and they
25:14were all
25:14playing with
25:15Santa.
25:17Santa was
25:18in heaven
25:19in a
25:20playground
25:21playing with
25:22aborted
25:23babies.
25:27What's
25:28my point
25:29here?
25:31The
25:32horrible
25:32danger
25:33of
25:35the
25:36future
25:36church
25:37here in
25:37the
25:38United
25:38States
25:38is the
25:41lack
25:41of
25:41discernment.
25:44Discerning
25:45of
25:45spirits
25:46is what
25:47Paul called
25:48it in
25:48Corinthians.
25:50Discerning
25:50of
25:51spirits.
25:53That's
25:53going to be
25:54the number
25:54one
25:54deception,
25:55just like
25:56Jesus
25:56said.
25:58In the
25:59last days,
26:00many false
26:02Christs and
26:02false prophets
26:03will arise.
26:04they will
26:04deceive
26:05many.
26:06They will
26:07perform
26:07miracles
26:09and
26:11wonders.
26:16And
26:16as an
26:18example,
26:19T.B.
26:19Joshua had
26:20had tens
26:21of thousands
26:22of people
26:23healed.
26:23and after
26:26his death,
26:27dozens of
26:28people came
26:28forward to
26:30talk about
26:32his secret
26:32life and
26:34all of
26:35these horrible
26:35things he
26:36had been
26:36involved in.
26:38And had I
26:39not gone
26:40through this
26:40experience in
26:412005 and
26:43saw that
26:44good people
26:46who love
26:47the Lord,
26:47who are
26:48born again
26:48and spirit
26:49filled,
26:50can be
26:51infected
26:51with
26:52kundalini
26:53spirits
26:54hiding in
26:55their brain,
26:56giving them
26:57fake visions,
26:58fake dreams,
27:01miracles,
27:02and signs
27:03and wonders.
27:05I would
27:06have never
27:06known that.
27:09And so
27:09now when I
27:10see somebody
27:11who is a
27:13good person,
27:14a born again
27:14Christian who
27:15loves the
27:15Lord,
27:16performing
27:19some strange
27:20thing,
27:21it doesn't
27:22bother me
27:22anymore because
27:23now I
27:23understand it.
27:28Because a
27:29person can
27:29have the
27:31Holy Spirit
27:31in their
27:32spirit man
27:32and familiar
27:34spirits in
27:34their brain.
27:38And that's
27:39how the
27:39devil is
27:41going to
27:41influence our
27:42church here
27:44near the
27:44end.
27:45As we get
27:46closer to the
27:47rapture,
27:48you're going
27:48to see enormous
27:50levels of
27:51ministers running
27:52around,
27:53literally dozens
27:54of people like
27:55Catherine
27:55Crick.
27:59They're going
28:00to be good
28:00people who
28:01appear to be
28:03fine,
28:06good,
28:08lovers of
28:10God,
28:11lovers of
28:13people,
28:13but they're
28:15going to
28:16deceive the
28:17eclectus,
28:19the church.
28:21That's what
28:22Jesus said.
28:24And for
28:25years I
28:25couldn't
28:26understand that
28:26verse.
28:27I do
28:27understand it
28:28now because
28:29I've been
28:29exposed to it
28:30for so much
28:30of the time
28:32over these
28:33years.
28:33I've had so
28:33many cases
28:34like this.
28:35And so
28:38what you
28:38have to
28:39do is
28:40this.
28:41The Bible
28:42says six
28:43times in
28:47the mouth
28:47of two
28:48or three
28:49witnesses,
28:50two or
28:51three witnesses,
28:53every word
28:55shall be
28:57established.
28:58The Greek
28:58word there is
28:59confirmed.
29:02Okay?
29:03So here's
29:04how you
29:04handle it.
29:06If you
29:07have a
29:07dream
29:08tonight
29:08and you
29:11think it's
29:12from God,
29:13okay,
29:14you cannot
29:15accept that
29:16dream.
29:16You have
29:17to have it
29:17confirmed by
29:18God two
29:19or three
29:20times.
29:25If I
29:27give you
29:29a prophetic
29:30word,
29:31you are not
29:32to receive
29:33that.
29:34you are
29:35to get
29:36it
29:37confirmed
29:37two or
29:39three
29:39times.
29:43And this
29:44is the
29:44crux
29:46of
29:47discerning
29:48of
29:48spirits.
29:50Because if
29:51you go to
29:52God and you
29:53tell him,
29:54dear Lord,
29:55did you send
29:56me a dream
29:56last night
29:57where I'm
29:58going to be
29:58preaching
29:58nations?
29:59the reason I'm
30:01asking you that
30:02Lord is I've
30:03heard that
30:04phrase before
30:05several times
30:06before with
30:07other people
30:07that an
30:09angel told
30:10them they
30:10were going to
30:10be preaching
30:11to nations.
30:12in fact,
30:12that's the
30:12exact quote.
30:15Now,
30:15I had a
30:16dream last
30:17night.
30:18I need
30:19two or
30:19three
30:20confirmations
30:21that that
30:22dream was
30:23from you.
30:24And if I
30:24don't get
30:25it,
30:25I'm going to
30:26take that
30:27dream that
30:28I had and
30:29find the
30:29nearest trash
30:30can and
30:32throw it
30:32in.
30:33that's
30:37correct.
30:38Dear
30:39friends,
30:41I sound
30:42like a
30:42heretic
30:42today.
30:43I'll give
30:43that to
30:44you.
30:45But in
30:46the book
30:46of Ezekiel,
30:47the Lord
30:48told the
30:48prophet,
30:50he said,
30:50if another
30:51prophet comes
30:52to you and
30:52performs signs
30:53and wonders
30:54and then
30:56tells you to
30:56go follow
30:57another God,
30:59I never
31:00talked to
31:01that prophet.
31:02That's what
31:02God said.
31:03Jehovah
31:04said that
31:04to Ezekiel.
31:08He said
31:09it to
31:09Isaiah.
31:12And so
31:12just because
31:14a person
31:16can perform
31:17a miraculous
31:18event,
31:19even a good
31:19one,
31:20that does
31:21not mean
31:22that that
31:24person is
31:24100%
31:25God.
31:30And that's
31:31true with
31:32all of
31:32us,
31:32isn't it?
31:33Just
31:34because you
31:34and I
31:35do something
31:37spiritual
31:38that's
31:38positive
31:39and true
31:40for the
31:41Lord,
31:42no matter
31:43what it
31:43is,
31:44that doesn't
31:45mean our
31:45entire life
31:46is perfect
31:47and holy,
31:48does it?
31:49That doesn't
31:50mean we don't
31:50have strongholds
31:51in this area
31:52and that area,
31:53but we are
31:54doing a great
31:55job ministering
31:56in this area
31:56and that area.
31:57I know
31:58this sounds
31:59kind of
31:59crazy,
31:59but a
32:01born-again
32:02Christian
32:02is not
32:03perfect and
32:04they can
32:04have
32:04strongholds
32:07that they
32:07haven't overcome
32:08yet.
32:10And you
32:11know that's
32:11true because
32:12you've looked
32:12in the mirror.
32:14It's that
32:15simple.
32:17It's that
32:18simple.
32:18Okay,
32:18now there's
32:20a guy on
32:20the YouTube,
32:23his name
32:23is Justin
32:23Peters,
32:25and he's
32:26a disabled
32:26guy.
32:27I think he's
32:27got cerebral
32:28palsy or
32:28something.
32:30Anyway,
32:31his ministry
32:31is to go
32:32around and
32:33nitpick,
32:34evaluate,
32:36assess all
32:38these ministers
32:40in the
32:40charismatic
32:41and
32:43Pentecostal
32:44ministries.
32:46Prophetics,
32:48Charismatics,
32:49and Pentecostals.
32:50He analyzes
32:51them all
32:51the time.
32:53Plus,
32:53he does the
32:54Catholics and
32:55so on,
32:55and he points
32:55out all
32:56their false
32:57doctrines.
32:57And the
32:58guy's very
32:59bright and
33:00he does a
33:00good job.
33:03But the
33:03problem with
33:04Justin
33:04Peters is he
33:05doesn't
33:06understand,
33:06A, anything
33:07I just
33:07taught you,
33:08and B,
33:08he doesn't
33:08understand the
33:09spirit world.
33:11He doesn't
33:12know how the
33:12Holy Ghost
33:13works.
33:14He doesn't
33:15know how
33:15demons work.
33:18The only
33:19thing he
33:19knows is
33:19what he
33:20can read
33:20in the
33:20Bible.
33:21He doesn't
33:21know anything
33:22else,
33:23period.
33:26And so,
33:27if you
33:27become a
33:27nitpicker,
33:29and you
33:30are constantly
33:31criticizing other
33:32ministries,
33:33and you find
33:34things wrong
33:34with them,
33:35and then you
33:35conclude that
33:36that person
33:37is totally
33:39fake and
33:39totally false,
33:40that's a
33:41false assumption.
33:42because nobody
33:47is 100%
33:48this or
33:48100%
33:49that,
33:50including
33:50you and
33:50I.
33:51You and
33:51I are not
33:52100%
33:53perfect and
33:54holy in our
33:55daily lives.
33:56We are in
33:57our spirit,
33:57man,
33:58absolutely.
34:01Do you know
34:01anybody who's
34:02perfect?
34:03I don't think
34:04so.
34:05Not likely.
34:06But that
34:09verse Jesus
34:10said,
34:11false
34:13prophets
34:13will show
34:14miracles and
34:15wonders,
34:16that's what
34:17he said,
34:18that will
34:19deceive the
34:19church.
34:20That's exactly
34:21what he said,
34:22Matthew chapter
34:2324.
34:24I couldn't
34:25understand any
34:26of that,
34:26never did
34:26understand it
34:27until now.
34:28Now I get
34:29it.
34:31So you
34:32might say,
34:33how in the
34:33world can
34:35TB Joshua
34:36hold a
34:37crusade in
34:38Singapore
34:38and 1,500
34:41people get
34:42healed.
34:44And then
34:45he flies
34:46back to
34:46Lagos,
34:48goes up in
34:49his secret
34:49bedroom,
34:51up in
34:52his
34:53quarters,
34:56and
34:56brings
34:57women up
34:58and then
34:59gets them
34:59pregnant and
35:00then they
35:01have abortions.
35:02How can
35:02that be?
35:04How does
35:04all this
35:04happen?
35:06yeah,
35:08it's,
35:09I admit,
35:09it's,
35:10it's mind
35:11boggling.
35:14But hey,
35:15it happens.
35:17It happens.
35:18On my radio
35:19program,
35:20I'm on the
35:21radio here
35:21locally on
35:221010 AM
35:22Christian Radio,
35:24Monday through
35:25Friday at
35:26730 in the
35:27morning on
35:27the radio.
35:28You can,
35:29on your way
35:29to work,
35:30you can tune
35:30in,
35:32tune me up
35:33on 1010 AM.
35:35But on my
35:36radio program,
35:37every time
35:38one of these
35:39mega church
35:40pastors or
35:41these TV
35:41preachers
35:42collapses in
35:43a scandal,
35:44I always do
35:45an analysis
35:46of it showing
35:46people that,
35:47hey,
35:48this part of
35:50the person
35:51was good,
35:51but they
35:53were infected
35:54with demons
35:54they didn't
35:55know about,
35:56and those
35:57demons manifested
35:58in this part
35:59that was bad.
35:59And the
36:03reason this
36:04is happening,
36:05I explain
36:06on the radio,
36:07is because
36:07the churches
36:09don't practice
36:10deliverance.
36:10They don't get
36:11rid of the
36:11demons before
36:12they go into
36:13the ministry,
36:13and they get
36:14involved in a
36:15thing that I
36:15always call
36:16carryover,
36:17which means
36:19that you
36:19carried your
36:20demons over
36:20from your
36:21sinful life
36:22into your
36:23Christian life.
36:27And that's
36:28how it works.
36:29we have
36:32all these
36:33infected,
36:35demon
36:35infected
36:36ministers,
36:38they've got
36:39demons in
36:40their brain,
36:41but they
36:42got the
36:42Holy Ghost
36:43in their
36:43spirit man.
36:46I mean,
36:46it happens
36:47all the
36:48time.
36:50And the
36:51crescendo
36:52is going to
36:52continue to
36:53increase all
36:54the way
36:54to the
36:56rapture.
36:57And after
36:58that it's
36:58going to go
36:59literally
37:00bonkers.
37:03Exponentially
37:04worse after
37:05the rapture.
37:07Hell is
37:08coming to
37:09breakfast,
37:10my friend.
37:10that's right.
37:15So you
37:15look on
37:16YouTube and
37:17you see
37:17all these
37:19strange
37:19doctrines and
37:20all these
37:20weird people.
37:23Some of
37:23them moved to
37:24Phoenix and
37:25opened churches.
37:26They're here
37:26now.
37:33Hey,
37:33you know,
37:33there's a lot
37:34of things about
37:35them that are
37:36good.
37:36but the
37:39demonic part
37:39of them
37:40is very
37:41bad.
37:44And if
37:45you see a
37:46miracle,
37:46it could be
37:48a godly
37:49miracle.
37:50It could be
37:51a demonic
37:51miracle.
37:54Not all
37:55miracles are
37:56from God,
37:57just like not
37:58all visions
37:59and dreams
37:59and words
38:00come from
38:02God.
38:02the
38:04prophetic
38:04movement
38:04has so
38:06many false
38:07prophets in
38:07it,
38:07it's
38:08absolutely
38:08scary.
38:11Jesus
38:11said,
38:11by their
38:12fruits you
38:12will know
38:13them.
38:13He's not
38:13talking about
38:14behavioral
38:14fruits.
38:15He's talking
38:16about spiritual
38:17fruits.
38:19Couldn't be
38:19any clearer.
38:22Years ago,
38:23Todd Bentley
38:24was anointed
38:24as the
38:25apostle of
38:25the prophetic
38:26movement.
38:27It happened
38:27during his
38:29revival at
38:30Lakeland,
38:30Florida.
38:32If you
38:33don't believe
38:33me,
38:33it's on
38:34YouTube.
38:34Well,
38:34anyway,
38:35all the
38:36major
38:36apostles,
38:37a couple
38:38of them
38:38missed it,
38:40but the
38:40major
38:41group of
38:43apostles
38:43nationwide
38:44came to
38:45Lakeland,
38:46Florida.
38:47They had a
38:48giant ceremony
38:49that lasted
38:50about an
38:51hour.
38:52It was in
38:53a soccer
38:55stadium,
38:55I think.
38:56Could have
38:56been a
38:56baseball
38:57stadium.
38:58I have
38:59to look at
38:59the video
39:00again.
39:00But anyway,
39:01they went
39:02through this
39:02whole
39:02ceremony
39:03anointing,
39:04blessing,
39:05and
39:05complimenting
39:06Todd Bentley
39:07as the
39:09senior
39:10apostle of
39:12the prophetic
39:12movement in
39:14the United
39:14States.
39:16They had a
39:17ceremony
39:17anointing
39:18him as
39:19such.
39:20Two weeks
39:21later,
39:21he ran
39:21off with
39:22his girlfriend
39:22and left
39:23his wife
39:24and three
39:24kids.
39:24Okay,
39:25what happened
39:26there?
39:27Number one
39:27problem in
39:28the future
39:29with the
39:30churches
39:31is the
39:32lack of
39:33the gift
39:34of discerning
39:35of spirits.
39:37Discerning
39:38of spirits.
39:39Nobody
39:39knew,
39:41none of
39:42the apostles
39:42and prophets
39:44of the
39:44prophetic
39:45movement,
39:46none of
39:47them knew
39:47he had
39:48terrible
39:49lust
39:50demons.
39:52Todd Bentley
39:53had terrible
39:53lust
39:54demons.
39:54and so
39:56after that
39:57he was
39:58rehabilitated
40:00by Rick
40:01Joyner and
40:02Morningstar
40:02Ministries.
40:03Do you
40:03remember
40:03that?
40:04That is
40:05also on
40:05YouTube.
40:06You can
40:06watch it.
40:08Well,
40:09unbeknownst
40:10to Rick
40:10Joyner,
40:12Todd Bentley's
40:13lust demons
40:13entered his
40:14ministry if
40:15they weren't
40:15already there
40:16in the first
40:17place.
40:19What happened
40:20there?
40:21Morningstar
40:21ministry now
40:23is engulfed
40:24in a
40:24massive
40:25sex
40:26scandals.
40:28A couple
40:28of years
40:29ago,
40:30IHOP
40:31in Kansas
40:32City
40:32crashed and
40:35burned
40:35over what?
40:38Sex
40:38scandals.
40:40Sex
40:41scandals.
40:42Okay?
40:44And
40:44somebody just
40:46made a comment
40:46here about
40:47TB Joshua.
40:48That was a
40:48shocker.
40:50Shocker
40:51isn't the
40:51word for
40:52it.
40:53Shocker
40:54isn't the
40:54word for
40:55it.
40:56I mean,
40:56this guy
40:57had more
40:58people healed
40:59over lunch
41:00than most
41:00churches see
41:01healed with
41:02the doors
41:03open in
41:0410 years.
41:07But the
41:08poor guy
41:09like Todd
41:10Bentley,
41:11like Rick
41:11Joyner,
41:13you know,
41:13like Bickle
41:15in Kansas
41:15City,
41:16they had
41:17these terrible
41:17lust demons
41:18that were
41:19hiding in
41:19their body.
41:20They go
41:21dormant.
41:21They hide
41:22there and
41:23they manifest
41:24under certain
41:24circumstances.
41:27And then
41:28they cause a
41:29big fat
41:30scandal.
41:30And that's
41:31exactly what
41:31happened to
41:32Todd Bentley
41:32again.
41:33Two years
41:34ago, he
41:35had another
41:36major sex
41:38scandal break
41:38out of his
41:39ministry.
41:41He worked
41:42past that and
41:42he's back to
41:43normal now.
41:44He's traveling
41:45and doing
41:45crusades and
41:46all that stuff.
41:47But anyway,
41:47the point I was
41:48trying to make
41:48is I'm
41:49not trying
41:50to bash
41:50these people.
41:51I'm trying
41:51to show
41:51you what
41:52Jesus was
41:52saying that
41:54false
41:56prophets,
41:57false
41:58Christ can
41:59perform
42:00supernatural
42:01miracles.
42:06And you
42:08look at a
42:09Catherine
42:09Crick video,
42:10for example,
42:11and you
42:11see these
42:12people
42:13heaping
42:15compliments
42:16on her
42:17that go
42:19on ad
42:20nauseam,
42:21and you
42:21see them
42:22kneeling
42:23before her
42:24and praising
42:25her and
42:26so on.
42:30You know,
42:30those are
42:32spiritual fruits
42:33that somebody
42:34with any
42:35discerning of
42:36spirits would
42:37instantly spot
42:38and red
42:40flag it.
42:43Red
42:43flag the
42:44thing.
42:46I mean,
42:49if somebody
42:51gives me
42:52a compliment,
42:54and I
42:55don't get
42:55many,
42:56but every
42:57once in a
42:58great while
42:58they're
42:59deserved,
43:00I say
43:01thanks and
43:02move on
43:02quickly
43:03for fear
43:06of the
43:08devil trying
43:08to puff
43:09me up.
43:11I know
43:12what he
43:12does.
43:13I can't
43:14conceive or
43:14believe
43:15that these
43:17TV preachers
43:18and these
43:18mega church
43:19pastors and
43:19these evangelists
43:21stand there
43:24for five
43:25minutes and
43:25having people
43:26worshiping and
43:27praising them.
43:29It's
43:29almost,
43:30it's a bit
43:31nauseating.
43:33It's scary.
43:34this thing's
43:39frightening.
43:41And again,
43:42the lack
43:42of discerning
43:43of spirits,
43:45the inability
43:45to see
43:47where this
43:49comes from
43:49is exactly
43:50what Jesus
43:51was talking
43:51about.
43:52Matthew 24,
43:53you read it
43:53yourself.
43:58You read it
43:59yourself.
43:59back in
44:012004 and
44:03whatever it
44:04was,
44:04back in
44:04those days,
44:06somebody
44:07said,
44:07oh yeah,
44:08we had a
44:08bunch of
44:08gold nuggets.
44:10I saw
44:11gold on
44:12people at
44:14the services.
44:16Gold is
44:16an inoffensive
44:17thing.
44:18It's not
44:18like cancer.
44:19It's not
44:19like somebody
44:20pulling a gun
44:21on you.
44:21It's just
44:22like another
44:23thing.
44:23It's like
44:23nothing.
44:25So I
44:25blew it
44:26off.
44:26I thought,
44:26well,
44:26okay,
44:27well,
44:27that's nice.
44:27I was
44:29never that
44:29impressed with
44:29it,
44:30but I
44:30never thought
44:31anything of
44:31it because
44:33I noticed
44:33it didn't
44:34really help
44:34anybody.
44:35I mean,
44:35it wasn't
44:36like Jesus'
44:36miracles.
44:38When they
44:38warned him,
44:39they said,
44:39you better
44:39get out
44:40of here.
44:42Herod's
44:43hunting for
44:43you.
44:44He's going
44:44to kill
44:44you.
44:44He's a
44:45murderer.
44:46He's going
44:46to get
44:47you.
44:47And Jesus
44:47said,
44:48you go tell
44:49that fox
44:50today I'm
44:50doing all
44:51these healings
44:52and tomorrow
44:52I'm doing
44:53all the
44:53deliverances.
44:54Then the
44:55third day
44:55I will be
44:57perfected.
44:59Teleos is
44:59the Greek
44:59word.
45:00It means
45:00to be
45:00completed.
45:02And there
45:03he was
45:03resurrected
45:04from the
45:04dead.
45:05Indeed,
45:05he is
45:05now totally
45:06and completely
45:08completed.
45:09Isn't
45:10he?
45:11Absolutely.
45:12So any
45:13miracle that
45:14happens,
45:15any healing,
45:16anything like
45:16that has
45:17to be
45:18evaluated
45:18by you
45:20and discerned
45:22by you
45:23to make
45:25sure it's
45:26legit.
45:28Because just
45:29because somebody
45:30got healed,
45:30just because
45:31somebody got
45:31delivered,
45:33just because
45:34somebody saw
45:34something,
45:36had a vision,
45:37had a dream,
45:39went to heaven,
45:40went to hell,
45:41none of that
45:41stuff means
45:43anything unless
45:44you get
45:45two or
45:46three witnesses
45:48to confirm
45:50whatever the
45:52event is.
45:54I'll never
45:54forget I
45:55had a
45:55missionary,
45:56a couple
45:57in my office
45:58crying their
45:58eyes out
45:59one day,
45:59this was
45:59six,
46:01seven years
46:01ago.
46:03They just
46:04cry in their
46:04eyes out
46:05because
46:06they had a
46:08series of
46:08circumstances
46:09where they
46:11thought God
46:12was telling
46:13them to
46:14go to a
46:15foreign country
46:16and I've
46:16forgotten the
46:17name of the
46:17country.
46:18I don't
46:19remember where
46:19they went
46:20to mission,
46:21but they
46:22had all this
46:23positivity
46:23here and
46:24then when
46:24they got
46:25over there,
46:26everything
46:27went down,
46:28everything
46:29went south.
46:30They were
46:31getting messages
46:32from people
46:33back in the
46:33states saying
46:35I was going
46:35to support
46:36your ministry
46:36but this
46:37went broke
46:38or that
46:38needs fixing
46:39I ran
46:40out of
46:40money here.
46:41Man,
46:42everything
46:42just went
46:43bad for
46:43them and
46:44it got so
46:45bad,
46:46even the
46:46support in
46:47the field
46:48turned on
46:48them.
46:48They lost
46:49everything.
46:49They came
46:50back here
46:50and they
46:53were in
46:54tears.
46:55They were
46:55broke.
46:56They didn't
46:56know what
46:56they were
46:56going to
46:57do and
46:59again,
46:59they hadn't
47:00make a
47:00long story
47:01short.
47:01That was a
47:02long story.
47:03I'm shortening
47:03it up too.
47:07They did
47:08not
47:08they did
47:11not
47:11get
47:12two or
47:13three
47:13witnesses
47:14to
47:16verify,
47:18spiritually
47:19verify.
47:20They were
47:20supposed to
47:21go to
47:21wherever they
47:23went.
47:23I forgot
47:23where it
47:23was,
47:24Singapore
47:24or something.
47:26So many
47:27Christians get
47:28led down the
47:29Primrose
47:29Paths,
47:30Planao,
47:31down the
47:32wrong trail
47:32because they
47:34don't get
47:35two or
47:36three
47:36confirmations
47:37from God.
47:39What they
47:39heard,
47:40what they
47:41received,
47:42what someone
47:42told them,
47:44and so on.
47:45I'll leave you
47:46with this last
47:46note.
47:47Never take a
47:47word from
47:48somebody at
47:48church.
47:49Hey, the
47:50Lord told me
47:50I got a
47:51word from
47:52you about
47:52the,
47:53and the,
47:54no.
47:55You hear it
47:56and you store
47:57it and then
47:58you wait for
47:59two or three
47:59witnesses to
48:01confirm that
48:02person's word.
48:03And if
48:05you do
48:05that,
48:06you will
48:07never be
48:07heartbroken,
48:08disappointed,
48:09or deceived.
48:11You will
48:12always be on
48:12top of your
48:13game.
48:15I hope I
48:16didn't depress
48:16you with this
48:17teaching today.
48:19But we
48:19all need to
48:20be cautious.
48:21We all
48:21need to be
48:22careful.
48:23We all
48:24need to
48:24watch
48:25ourselves
48:25because
48:28the rapture
48:30is only a few
48:31years away now
48:31and this
48:32thing's getting
48:32close and
48:33you and I
48:33need to be
48:34ready to
48:34go.
48:35See you
48:35next time.
