03:08Good morning, friends.
03:19Hey, this is Brother Mike.
03:20I'm back on the Sunday morning podcast.
03:23Sure glad to see you.
03:25Say hi to my shut-ins.
03:27Thank God richly bless you.
03:29Thanks for joining the teaching today.
03:32Today, I've got an enormously encouraging Bible study today.
03:43It's on the grace of God.
03:46It's staggering, and it will blow your mind.
03:52Please remember our services at the Arizona Deliverance Center.
03:56We have a counseling center available if you are going to be in the Phoenix area anytime soon.
04:08And you need to see a counselor?
04:10No problemo.
04:12No problem.
04:13Call me, 602-636-5800.
04:17Send me an email, mike at hardcorechristianity.com.
04:22Now, please remember, you can get healed and delivered at home.
04:24Happens all the time.
04:25We have had thousands of people delivered and healed in their own homes on our Zoom services.
04:32Got three of them every week, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
04:36Two live services every week, Thursdays and Fridays.
04:41Last Friday, I had an interesting teaching on the biggest idiot in the Old Testament.
04:49I mean, this guy was a certified, certified imbecile, no question about it.
04:57It was just unreal.
05:00I hope you enjoyed that teaching.
05:03Nabal.
05:04It's on our YouTube teaching channel if you're interested.
05:07Man, this guy was dumb.
05:08His wife was a polar opposite.
05:11She was brilliant.
05:14Very unusual front night, Friday night.
05:18Today, I want to teach you on something.
05:20A lot of people, and I know it's demons, they get awful discouraged because they think God's mad at them.
05:29And they think they've done things that are so horrible that they can't be forgiven, or that God is so mad at them that he's cut them off.
05:45And they, he's cut off their anointing, their blessing, their giftings, all kinds of things.
05:52He's cut everything off.
05:54And I wanted to show you today how false that doctrine really is.
06:00I want you to go back in time with me.
06:04Before the birth of Christ, I want to take a look at one of the 39 kings of Israel.
06:10And I wanted to look at someone exceptional.
06:14Friday night, I went over somebody who was exceptionally dumb.
06:19There's a lot of those in church, aren't there?
06:23But today, I want to go over the worst king in the history of Israel.
06:32This guy was the worst, most sinful king ever existed in that country.
06:39He was the pits.
06:46This dude was so horrible, it was unbelievable.
06:49Go back in time with me, if you would.
06:51Let's go back 2,400 years.
06:56Let's take a quick look at him.
06:58Manasseh.
07:00And his story is in 2 Chronicles 33.
07:05It's also in 1 Kings chapter 21.
07:07But check this out.
07:08He was only 12 years old when he became the king of Israel.
07:13And the first thought you would have making a 12-year-old kid the king of Israel is,
07:21what could possibly go wrong?
07:24Oh, I'm sure nothing.
07:26Well, everything went wrong like you can't believe.
07:30The devil took a look at him and saw a 12-year-old kid and said, hey, we can completely take this guy over.
07:39So, he sent in a bunch of influencers.
07:42Influencers are big in our society now, right?
07:44On social media, influencers.
07:46Manasseh did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out.
08:05When they came into the promised land, he built the high places which his father, Hezekiah, had broken down.
08:14He reared up altars for Balaam.
08:18He had groves.
08:21He worshipped all of the hosts of heaven.
08:25And he served them.
08:27He built altars in the house of Jehovah.
08:33Can you imagine that?
08:34He set up altars inside Solomon's temple.
08:39Unbelievable.
08:41Altars to demons.
08:43Altars to idols.
08:45And he built altars for all the hosts of heaven in both courts of Solomon's temple.
08:55He caused his own children.
08:57He sacrificed them to Moloch, the king of their gods.
09:03He burned them alive.
09:05His own children.
09:10He used witchcraft, it says.
09:12He used, he dealt with familiar spirits.
09:15He dealt with wizards.
09:20He did everything he could, it says in verse 6, to provoke the Lord to anger.
09:25He carved out graven images to idols and put them in the temple of Solomon.
09:37He caused all of Israel to worship idols and demons.
09:42It went on and on.
09:47This kid was unbelievably bad.
09:53He sinned more in five minutes than you've sinned in your whole life.
09:57He sinned, he put the S in sin.
10:05He was the most wicked, sinful king Israel's ever known, and by far more wicked than any
10:15leader Israel has ever had, up until and concluding today.
10:20This guy with numero uno, the monster of monsters, he sinned so much it was unbelievable.
10:33He was a gasping sinner.
10:37People were shocked at the level of his sin.
10:41Well, God sent prophets to him.
10:44God gave him every chance to change, and he wouldn't change.
10:49And God did that to you.
10:50He's still doing it.
10:52He's giving you every chance in the world to change.
10:55He's being as patient with you as he possibly can.
10:59He's asking you.
11:01He's lovingly caring for you.
11:03He's holding back the devil's judgment on you.
11:08He's holding back the horrors of Satan.
11:11He's waiting for you patiently for you to change.
11:19He did it to Manasseh, believe it or not.
11:22He gave him every chance to change, every warning to change, every opportunity to change.
11:29And this kid wasn't going to do it.
11:31And so the armies of Assyria from Babylon invaded and took over.
11:41And judgment fell upon Israel and Manasseh.
11:45And they took him back.
11:48They put him in change.
11:50They put a hook, a thorn through his nose, just like that, ran it up through the nose.
11:56They chained him up in fetters and walked him and drug him back to Babylon as a public spectacle of humiliation and degradation.
12:08They ripped this kid to pieces.
12:13It was so bad.
12:15So many people died.
12:18The destruction was horrible.
12:21It was horrible.
12:23Well, check this out.
12:24Go down to 2 Chronicles 33, verse 11.
12:29And Manasseh, they dragged him back to Babylon.
12:38And they threw him in one of their prisons.
12:41And back then, they didn't have nice prisons like we do.
12:45No, these were...
12:47Our prisons are luxury units compared to the prisons they had back then.
12:53And it says in verse 12,
12:57When he was in his affliction, he besought the Lord, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the Lord of his fathers.
13:10Verse 13.
13:11He prayed to him and was entreated of him and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom.
13:23And then, Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
13:32You know what?
13:34Sometimes born-again Christians have to go through hell in order to make it to heaven.
13:39Did you know that?
13:43That's the unfortunate nature of human nature.
13:48Sometimes people don't appreciate things until it's gone.
13:53Sometimes people won't listen until they're beaten over the head with a club.
14:02Sometimes Christians just won't change.
14:06They will not change.
14:07And God is patient with them over a long period of time.
14:14But then, because of his love for them, he has to pull back his protection over them.
14:21And the devil gets a shot at him.
14:24God doesn't do all these bad things to us.
14:28He just withdraws his hand of protection.
14:32And the devil moves in.
14:34As soon as he sees an opening, he makes his move.
14:37And the person is hit with all kinds of different sorrows and miseries, trials and temptations.
14:43That's how this system works.
14:48God's merciful with you.
14:49He's patient with you.
14:51You've been putting off your deliverance now for probably a few years.
14:56You haven't done it.
14:57You know you're infected with demons.
14:59And you know they're causing you emotional problems.
15:02You know they're the root of your physical problems.
15:05They know that they're damaging you spiritually.
15:08You know that.
15:09But you just haven't got around to doing anything about it.
15:13Well, God uses adversity and trials and tribulations and heartache and misery and sorrow.
15:22He will allow those things to happen to you to help you change and become a different person in Christ.
15:32Sometimes adversity causes the scales, like Paul, to fall off our eyes.
15:39And suddenly, like they say to alcoholics, you get a moment of clarity.
15:47You begin to see that, hey, wait a minute.
15:49I really do need to make some changes.
15:51And this misery that I'm involved in and all this pain I'm involved in, this thing has gotten to me.
16:00And I need to make changes now.
16:03I need to stop living the way I'm living.
16:05I need to renovate my life.
16:07I need to do an about face.
16:11And that's exactly what the Greek word metanoeo means.
16:15It's usually translated as repent or repentance.
16:20Metanoeo means, was a military term, when you were marching and you made an about face and went back the other direction.
16:30Metanoeo.
16:31You make an about face.
16:33You go back.
16:34You repent.
16:38And that's what God's waiting for you to do.
16:39He wants you to change.
16:42He wants you to repent.
16:43He's got a wonderful work for you.
16:46He's got plans for your life.
16:48He's got so many blessings on your life.
16:50He wants to give you.
16:51But he can't give you because you haven't, metanoeo, made that U-turn and gone back from your sin.
17:05And Manasseh, the worst king that ever lived, the biggest sinner that ever lived, okay?
17:13Manasseh makes you look like a sinning rookie, okay?
17:19Well, Brother Mike, you don't understand.
17:21I did all kinds of horrible sins.
17:23No, you don't understand.
17:26You are an amateur sinner compared to Manasseh.
17:30You're a rookie.
17:31You're a beginner.
17:33You're nothing.
17:34You could sin like crazy the rest of your life and not approach Manasseh.
17:40Now, have other people been in his league?
17:42Well, sure.
17:43Stalin, Hitler, and so on.
17:44Pol Pot.
17:45I could go down the list.
17:48Serial killers.
17:49John Wayne Gacy.
17:51You know.
17:53All these guys.
17:56The Night Stalker.
17:57Okay.
17:58Yeah.
17:58Okay.
17:58Now, they were kind of in his league.
18:01But you, you're not even close.
18:04You don't understand.
18:07You're, compared to him, you're just not sinning.
18:14You, you haven't failed compared to him.
18:18And what's the, what's the bottom line here?
18:21If God could have mercy on Manasseh, you are a slam dunk.
18:30There's no reason to be backslidden anymore.
18:32There's no reason to become an apostate and renounce your faith.
18:38There's no reason to get discouraged anymore.
18:41There's no reason to fail anymore.
18:45There's no reason, because grace and mercy is yours.
18:50Manasseh did not have the blood of Jesus.
18:53He did not have the cross of Calvary.
18:55He never saw the resurrection of Christ.
19:00He never had any of the benefits that you have.
19:03Your benefits are off the chain.
19:07Your benefits are off the chain.
19:09Amazing.
19:13Manasseh never had any of the benefits that you have.
19:16You have the Holy Spirit.
19:18He didn't have the Holy Spirit.
19:19You have the Bible, the Word of God.
19:23You have the New Covenant, the New Testament.
19:26Manasseh never had any of that.
19:29But you know what he did?
19:31Man, he broke down.
19:32He saw that he was going to die in prison
19:36in a small room where you urinate and defecate
19:41in the corner of the room.
19:44You're fed virtually nothing.
19:49Okay, you live in what smells like a toilet.
19:54You sleep on the floor.
19:55You have no rights, no privileges, no options, no opportunity.
20:01You have nothing.
20:03When you're living in an Assyrian prison,
20:07they were gigantic garbage dumps.
20:14The prisoners eventually all died of diseases and viruses
20:19and unsanitary conditions.
20:22Can you imagine living in a cell
20:26about the size of your bedroom?
20:28Every time you've got to go to the bathroom,
20:30you go to the corner of your bedroom
20:32and drop your drawers.
20:35Can you imagine living like that?
20:39Well, I'll tell you what,
20:40that was the biggest blessing Manasseh ever had.
20:44You know the sorrow and misery you're going through now?
20:47There's a message there, friend.
20:49I know this doesn't sound like a good teaching,
20:53but actually this thing is off the chain.
20:55Great.
20:57Your heartache and your misery that you're facing
21:00right this second
21:01is designed by God
21:05to get you to Matano Eo.
21:09Ooh.
21:10Okay.
21:12I get it.
21:13There's nothing wrong
21:16with falling on your knees.
21:20Manasseh fell on his face
21:22in that stinking Assyrian prison
21:24where they had just put him in a cell
21:27like he was a piece of trash.
21:31They paraded him around
21:32all over the cities
21:34showing everybody
21:36what had happened to them
21:39and how his life had been destroyed
21:42and how they beat Israel.
21:45They were mocking Israel.
21:47They were laughing at Israel.
21:48They made a big joke out of it.
21:51Manasseh went from the king of Israel
21:53to being a party joke.
21:56And the Bible says that he repented
22:00and God had mercy on his soul.
22:04He prayed to the Lord
22:06and the Lord heard him
22:08and restored him back to his kingdom.
22:12Doesn't say how he did it.
22:15But the point of the story is
22:16not how he did it
22:17and what happened to him.
22:18The point of the story is
22:19there isn't any sin you can do
22:22that God cannot forgive.
22:27There's nothing you can do
22:28that you can't be forgiven of.
22:32Absolutely nothing.
22:33Because you will never be
22:36as bad a sinner
22:37as Manasseh.
22:39Never.
22:41It will never happen.
22:43You're not able to do it.
22:44If you were to murder somebody,
22:47if you burnt down a rest home
22:49and killed all of the people in it,
22:51if you became a sex trafficker
22:54and a murderer of children,
22:58guess what?
23:00You are an amateur sinner
23:02compared to Manasseh.
23:06He put you to shame.
23:09You're not even in his league, friend.
23:12You're not in his league.
23:17What am I trying to do today?
23:19Come home now, would you please?
23:22Just come home.
23:24The blood that Jesus sent,
23:26everything you did
23:28will be wiped out.
23:29Every sin,
23:30every failure,
23:31every loss you took.
23:34Every second,
23:35you were angry at God.
23:36You cursed him.
23:37You screamed at him.
23:38You yelled at him.
23:40You told him to F off.
23:43You did all kinds of horrible things.
23:47You can be completely forgiven for that.
23:50You can be completely restored.
23:51There's no question about it.
23:56You can start over it.
23:58You can get a new start in life.
23:592026.
24:00Today.
24:02Today.
24:03You can completely start over.
24:06Manasseh did.
24:07He fell down in his grave prison.
24:14Fell on his face.
24:16And begged God to forgive him of his sins
24:19and all of the mistakes he made
24:20and all the people he killed
24:22and all the horrible altars
24:23and the worship groves he put up
24:26inside King Solomon's temple.
24:30He repented of everything he had ever done.
24:33Every, every bit of it.
24:34All the adultery.
24:36All the rapes.
24:38All the murder of children.
24:41This guy made Jeffrey Epstein
24:43look like an outstanding citizen
24:45in the United States.
24:47Worthy of the Medal of Honor.
24:51Yes, he did.
24:54What's the point in the message today?
24:56I'm trying to get you to come home.
24:59A lot of tough times are ahead for America.
25:02The rapture is only a few years away now.
25:06And America is going to be going through
25:09a living hell.
25:11If you ever saw those prophecies
25:12from A.A. Allen back in the 50s
25:16or Ralph Wilkerson's prophecies
25:20back in the 70s,
25:22America is running out of time.
25:24And a lot of horrible hell
25:28is coming to this country.
25:32Well,
25:33a lot of horrible hell
25:35came to Israel because of Manasseh.
25:39He made Joe Biden look like
25:41Billy Graham.
25:45He was the most horrible leader
25:47Israel ever had.
25:50You know what?
25:52God forgave him.
25:53Can you imagine that?
25:56Now that's mercy.
25:57That's grace at a level
25:58that's mind-boggling.
26:01God forgave him.
26:05So no matter what you've done,
26:07you kill somebody,
26:10you cheat on your spouse,
26:12did you beat your kids,
26:13did you rape your kids?
26:14Are you a pedophile?
26:17Friend,
26:18the blood of Jesus
26:19Jesus is able
26:21to wash it all away
26:23and you can be restored
26:25and you will be restored.
26:27Just do what Manasseh did.
26:28You're in your bedroom right now.
26:30Okay,
26:31just get out of your chair
26:32from watching the computer.
26:35Say goodbye to me
26:36and just fall down.
26:40Fall down right there on your face
26:41and beg God to forgive you.
26:43Tell the Lord you're sorry.
26:44The Holy Ghost will run
26:47right up to you.
26:48He runs for people.
26:49He really does.
26:52He'll come at you.
26:53Boom.
26:54Cast.
26:56Mercy.
26:58Grace is waiting for you.
27:01You have so much more
27:02than Manasseh has.
27:03It's not even funny.
27:06He never had all the benefits
27:07you have.
27:09Just do what he did.
27:10Do what he did.
27:13You haven't sacrificed
27:14children, have you?
27:16Of course you haven't.
27:17Come on.
27:20He would burn children alive
27:22to Moloch,
27:23the king of the gods.
27:25He'd burn them alive.
27:30You haven't committed a sin
27:31even close to that.
27:34You're not even in the ballpark.
27:37Can you be restored?
27:38He's restored 100%
27:40no question about it.
27:46100%.
27:46No question about it.
27:50If Manasseh can be restored
27:51and forgiven
27:52for all the horrible sins
27:54he did,
27:56you are a slam dunk.
28:01Adolf Hitler did what?
28:03Oh gosh, he took a pill.
28:05He pulled out his revolver.
28:06He always had a revolver
28:08on his waist.
28:10He was hiding in a bunker.
28:12His wife slumped over dead.
28:14She was laying right there
28:15and she took the cyanide first.
28:18She flopped over dead.
28:21He took the pill
28:22at the same time.
28:24Took his revolver.
28:27Boom.
28:28Blew his brains out.
28:31Let me tell you something.
28:33This is the truth.
28:33This is the truth.
28:35I know it sounds nuts.
28:36Had he fallen on his face
28:40in that bunker
28:41after he murdered his wife
28:45and cried out to the Lord
28:49and begged for mercy
28:50and begged for forgiveness,
28:54Adolf Hitler would have become
28:55a born-again Christian.
28:57He murdered 10 million people.
28:58You haven't murdered 10 million people.
29:01You haven't murdered one person.
29:05Hitler could have been
29:06a born-again Christian
29:07and when they hung him,
29:10they would have hung him
29:11after he was tried.
29:13He would have died
29:14praising the Lord,
29:16swinging on the gallows.
29:19Thank you, Jesus.
29:21He would have gone to heaven.
29:22Hitler could have gone to heaven.
