Gettin’ High

Note: I preached this sermon at Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Vancouver, WA. Many thanks to Pastor Aaron Thompson for allowing me to preach this sermon at our church.

Chapter to Read: 2 Corinthians Chapter 11.

The title of the sermon: “GETTIN’ HIGH.” Here’s a PDF of the sermon text: [download id=”16829″]

  • I want to hit on a very important subject in today’s world.
  • This is a deception that is happening everywhere around us within the churches of Satan.
  • They call themselves “Christian” churches, but they are nothing like an actual Christian church.
  • And Satan himself is behind this deception of gettin’ high in the false churches.
  • This is what happens. These people become drunken with their own feelings.

They live by their feelings and emotions, and they want to get high at church on themselves.

  • They want to feel the music. They want to hear the preacher tell them how great they are.
  • They want to hear how much “god” loves them and how important they are to him.
  • They come to worship themselves and others. They want to hear Hillsong music.
  • They want to hear Bethel music. They want to stand on a concert stage and have everyone love them.

People come to me constantly telling me about these feelings.

  • They say, “But I can feel God. I know God was with me.”
  • A lady recently told me she knows she was filled with the Holy Spirit in the year 2004 and she has since lost this feeling.

She told me that God came to her. So I asked her to tell me the story.

  • So you should ask for details when someone tells you that God came to them. Get the details.
  • Before I tell you her story, please look to verse 12 in 2 Corinthians Chapter 11. Verse 12, please.

2 Corinthians 11:12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

  • False preachers and false prophets love to glory about themselves and their greatness.
  • I’ve seen them with my own two eyes for years upon years of my life.
  • These false prophets, the Bible says right there, DESIRE OCCASION that wherein they glory.
  • Look at verse 13 there in 2 Corinthians Chapter 11. Verse 13.

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

  • These false churches say they are followers of Christ, but they aren’t.
  • You can trust the Bible or not today. What does verse 13 say at the beginning there?
  • “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers.” Listen please.
  • They have transformed themselves into the apostles of Christ, but they know nothing of Jesus Christ.
  • But they make you feel good and get you high on yourself and your own feelings.
  • Look at verse 14. I want you to see this clearly today.

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

  • HEY, LISTEN OUT THERE! “AND NO MARVEL!!!” For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
  • It is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.
  • Don’t be in awe because you were deceived by Satan and his minions. THEY ARE EVIL.
  • This is exactly what has happened to the lady who I will call Faye.
  • And I don’t want this to happen to anyone else out there.

Faye contacts me through email. I tell her I would like to give her the Gospel over the phone.

  • And that I did. But she wanted to mix her story into the presentation of the Gospel.
  • So I listened, but I kept bringing her back to the Gospel. I listened more.
  • But I continue to bring her back to the Gospel. She tells me that she believes she is a reprobate.
  • She believes that she can’t be saved. She says that she “FEELS” that her soul is gone.

She tells me that God came to her last year and that was her last chance to be saved.

  • She tells me that God came to her in the year 2004 and was with her.
  • She tells me that she could just feel it.
  • This is the same thing my oldest sister, a oneness Pentecostal, will say.
  • These women are listening to evil little ministers that are ministers of Satan.

Do you know which so-called “Christian” movie came out in the year 2004?

  • The Passion of the Christ. Wikipedia calls this an “epic Biblical drama film.”
  • This film was produced by Mel Gibson, a Catholic. He is a minister of Satan.
  • Jim Caviezel or Jim the Weasel is also a Catholic and a minister of Satan.
  • We’ll talk about that some more in a minute.

So Faye tells me that she knew God was with her in the year 2004. She says that God came to her.

  • I asked her to tell me more about when God came to you.
  • She says that she was in the movie theater watching the Passion of the Christ in 2004.
  • She says that the Holy Spirit filled the room there. She could feel God there with her.

Now, let me ask you a question. Is the Passion of the Christ a Biblical movie?

  • Do you think God is happy with that movie? I will confess that I never watched it.
  • For this sermon, I watched some clips and they make me want to vomit. Why?
  • Because nothing is Biblical within that movie. All the words are changed.
  • Please turn to Proverbs Chapter 30. I want you to see this closely.

Things are added to the Biblical account in the Passion of the Christ. God’s words are added to and taken away.

  • What do they place in the spot of the Bible truth? They place lies within that trashy movie.
  • And these lies are placed there to get you high on your emotions. They play on your feelings.
  • Things are taken away from the Biblical account. Things are added to the Biblical truth.

Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

  • When you add to the word of God, you will be found a liar. The Passion of the Christ is an evil movie.
  • It is filled with lies. Lying scum bags from the Satan church of Catholics wrote it.
  • Would you ever think about writing a movie filled with lies about Jesus Christ?
  • Would you ever think about being the actor that plays the role of Jesus Christ?
  • Think about that. EVERYTHING WITHIN ME TELLS ME NO WAY. I wouldn’t even think about it.
  • Please listen to these additional Scriptures. You don’t have to turn there but please listen.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

  • Many people are idolizing the actors in these movies, and the actors love this.
  • Jim The Weasel is a Catholic so he loves idolatry. He loves acting like he’s Jesus.
  • He loves telling lies about Jesus Christ.
  • They act as if millions of people were brought to Christ through the Passion of the Christ YET they brought millions to Satan.
  • Let me be clear. NO ONE WAS SAVED THROUGH THE MOVIE “THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST.”

IMAGERY THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. Let me ask you a question.

  • Do you think God could have made a movie like this if He wanted to make a movie?
  • Did God make a movie instead of giving His words in the Bible? No, He didn’t.
  • What did God give us? He gave us His words that He spoke. And this is what we have. This is all we need.
  • God didn’t give us pictures and images in His Bible that He chose to leave with us.

Does Mel Gibson understand the words that are within this Bible? No, he doesn’t.

  • Does Mel Gibson understand the importance of the words within this Bible? No, he doesn’t.
  • So he writes a stupid movie about his false Jesus that wears a dress and has long hair.
  • He adds to the story of Jesus Christ. He takes away from the story of Jesus Christ. He is a liar.
  • And yet he’s going to make another movie. Passion of the Christ 2. VOMIT.
  • They have transformed themselves into ministers of light just as their father Satan who is father of lies.
  • Please turn to Genesis Chapter 3. Genesis Chapter 3.

So, what happened in the movie theater with these people who could “FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT” as they say?

  • They are getting high on their emotions and seeking for signs. The devils deceive them.
  • This happens in churches week in and week out throughout this country.
  • Most people won’t agree with me. They’ll say, “It’s not that bad.” YES, IT IS THAT BAD. It’s wicked.
  • And the people who say, “It’s not that bad” are the people who are either deceived.
  • Or, they are on Satan’s side themselves. Look at verse 1 in Genesis Chapter 3.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

  • These people who get high in church on their feelings and emotions are being deceived.
  • For example, the black churches they think had a good worship service if people were dancing.
  • The white churches think they had a good worship service if the people were crying.
  • Other churches think they had a good service if people come up to the altar and use Kleenex boxes.

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.”

  • Someone can listen to heavy metal devil music and get high on their emotions.
  • Someone can listen to country music and get high on their emotions.
  • Somehow people can listen to rap music and get high on their emotions.
  • They use Hillsong and Bethel music to get high in church on their emotions.
  • People will use music when lifting weights to help them lift more weight.

FEELING GOOD AND GETTIN’ HIGH ON EMOTIONS DOESN’T EQUAL FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT.

  • Jumping on a chair and preaching doesn’t mean the preacher is filled with the Holy Spirit.
  • A fat Pentecostal preacher ripping off his shirt and jumping up on the pew doesn’t mean filled with the Spirit of God.
  • The devil is subtil, tricky, and a deceiver. MORE SUBTIL, SLY, CUNNING, AND CRAFTY than anyone.
  • He will use emotions to deceive and trick these people. And he’ll use this to destroy people.
  • He rides the line of truth just as the best deceivers do and will lead you to death.

Please turn to Matthew Chapter 4. Matthew Chapter 4. And yes, I know you know these Scriptures.

  • But we can always learn more from the word of God. I want you to see this in a different light today.
  • When you get to Matthew Chapter 4, please take a look at verse 1. Verse 1 in Matthew Chapter 4.

Matthew 4:1-4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

  • What does the devil want Jesus Christ to do? He says, “Command that these stones be made bread.”
  • He wants to see Jesus do a miracle. He wants Jesus to show him a sign.
  • He wants Jesus to turn the stones into bread. What do these people, such as Faye, want from God?
  • They want God to show them a sign. They want to feel God, they say.
  • They seek after a sign or a feeling from God.

They will say that God came to them. They say that God gave them visions.

  • They say that God showed them specifically all of these miracles and signs today.
  • And then when “god” supposedly doesn’t answer them anymore, they believe “god” left them.
  • And they then believe they are going to hell because they lost god or lost their salvation.

This is sad. This is not God deceiving them. This is Satan deceiving them.

  • And I hope you realize how many people are in this exact situation today.
  • Many of them are tortured every day by these devils who are deceiving them.
  • These devils trick and deceive the people who are following their emotions, getting’ high on them, and seeking after signs from God.

But, you’ll see in the Bible that Satan wants Jesus to show him a sign. THIS IS A SIGN OF EVIL.

  • If you want a sign of evil, it’s those who are seeking after a sign. They follow their father the devil.
  • Satan’s army of devils are deceiving people to ask for the same thing. Sign seekers.
  • Certain of the scribes and Pharisees wanted to see a sign. “Master, we would see a sign from thee.”
  • “They desired Him that He would shew them a sign from heaven.”
  • Don’t turn there but Mark 8:11 and 12 says:

Mark 8:11-12 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

  • We see this over and over again in the Bible. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign.
  • The devil then tempts Jesus more in Matthew Chapter 4.
  • He wants to see another sign or miracle from God. “If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down.”

He wants Jesus to show him that He is the Son of God. Over and over again, he wants to see a sign.

  • “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” He then shows Jesus the kingdoms of this world.
  • He shows Jesus the glory of them. Now he’s showing Jesus something. Satan loves to show signs.
  • Satan loves to show wonders. Satan loves to show miracles because they deceive people.

He wants to see things. He wants to feel things. He wants to show you signs and trick you.

  • He wants to deceive you. So the scribes, Pharisees, and the wicked generation did the same thing.
  • They follow after their father the devil. YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE THEM.
  • These evil people ask in the Bible: “What sign shewest thou unto us, see that thou doest these things?”

Jesus says, “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.” Jesus showed the people signs already.

  • But He didn’t show them to the evil and wicked generation. No sign be given unto this generation.
  • Jesus did miracles. They are all written in the Bible. THEY HAPPENED.
  • We know 100% sure that they happened. We know the greatest sign of all:
  • Jesus died, was buried, and arose from the dead. He paid for all our sins already.

Please turn to Revelation Chapter 12. Revelation Chapter 12.

  • We live by the word of God, but the evil workers in this world want people to go by their sight, feelings, and emotions.
  • A soul being saved when we preach the Gospel is a miracle. I can’t see it happen with my eyes.
  • But I know it just happened because the person believed in Jesus Christ. God gave to them eternal life.
  • Please look at verse 9 in Revelation Chapter 12.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

  • Satan deceives the whole world. If you’re looking for a sign, he’ll give you a sign.
  • If you’re seeking for a sign from heaven, you’re sinning against God. Don’t do this.
  • Can Satan and his ministers of evil do miracles and give you a sign? Of course they can.

The Bible teaches this. But people will trust their feelings and the so-called “signs” they see over the word of God.

  • We MUST always use the word of God as our GOLD STANDARD OF TRUTH.
  • Many people want God to prove to them that He is real. “God, show us that you’re real.”
  • I’ve been in a church before where a woman yelled out during prayer:
  • “God, show us you’re here. Show us your power. We can’t feel you. Please allow us to feel you here.”

Hey, He already did that. You’re alive. The sun comes up. We are breathing oxygen.

  • Look in the mirror. YOU ARE ALIVE. That life came from God and Jesus Christ. How did you get here?
  • Have you ever thought about that? Why are you alive right now? Why are you here right now? GOD.
  • God sits upon the circle of the earth. We are as grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens as a curtain.
  • All nations before Him are as nothing. God is absolutely huge. He’s everywhere. ALL POWER.
  • Please flip over to Revelation Chapter 13. Revelation Chapter 13.

People love to limit the power of God and act as if He must prove Himself to them. Are you serious out there?

  • God gives us more proof of Him being alive than any proof of anything ever given.
  • I am serious. There is more proof of God than anything. You can see it with your eyes every day.
  • The proof is within you. Our existence proves the God of this Bible. Reality proves this every day.
  • Yet, people still want to get high on their emotions and feeling and tempt God.
  • Please look at verse 14 in Revelation Chapter 13.

Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

  • What does that say right there in the first part of that verse? Look closely.
  • “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles.”
  • Do similar things happen right now? Do deceptions happen now? Yes, they do. The devils deceive people.
  • Flip over to Revelation Chapter 16. Revelation Chapter 16.

Please listen out there. People are being deceived by miracles.

  • Do people really think Jesus is showing up to them? Yes, they do believe this.
  • Do they believe God is really speaking to them in person? Yes, they do believe this.
  • They love to live by their feelings. They love to get high on these feelings. “God shows up to me,” they say.
  • Take a look at verse 14 in Revelation Chapter 16.

Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

  • The spirits of devils go out and work miracles to deceive the whole world.
  • Our adversary, the devil, walketh about and seeks to devour people.
  • These are the people he makes to feel good. He makes them high on themselves. I’m serious here.
  • This is the deception. He makes them think it’s God that is with them and it’s not God.
  • Please flip over to Revelation Chapter 18. Revelation Chapter 18.

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

  • At the end right there. Let me repeat this.
  • “For thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
  • Who deceived? Babylon the great, the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit.
  • A cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Do you think this country might be the great whore?

Do you think this country is the habitation of devils? The devils love this country. So they dwell here.

  • A devil finds a person to dwell in and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself.
  • The devils love pride month for the faggots, homos, queers, lesbians, and transgender freaks.
  • The devils love when a child gets mutilated by his own mother for gender surgery.
  • The devils love when an innocent little baby gets slaughtered by an abortionist while his mother consents.

A HABITATION OF DEVILS. What do devils do? They murder. They lie. They deceive.

  • The father of the devils was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth.
  • There is no truth in Satan or the devils. They speak lies that make the people feel good about themselves.

SORCERIES DECEIVE. The Book of Revelation continues to tell us that Satan and his minions deceive.

  • They use sorceries. They do miracles. They come to the people who are seeking signs and imitate Jesus.
  • I’ve had scores of people tell me personally that Jesus came to them. The Holy Spirit came to them.
  • I had a man named Jerry that sells interior trim and doors for residential construction come to a home I was building.

Jerry tells me his son died from drugs when he was 17. He tells me that Jesus came to his son right before he died.

  • Supposedly Jesus told him it would be okay. The young man never heard the Gospel.
  • But his Dad knew some really evil people that he told me about.
  • A man related to the false prophet William Branham, AN EVIL DEAD MAN BURNING IN HELL, would pray for Jerry, touch him, and he would be healed instantly.
  • So Jerry calls this man a man of God. He falls for his deceptions.

After Jerry’s son died, he went to a psychic medium named John Edwards. Famous man on TV.

  • Who sent him there? This supposedly great man of God sent him to see a psychic medium. REALLY.
  • The Bible says the exact opposite. But this man transformed himself into an angel of light.
  • These devils want to make you FEEL BETTER about horrible things that have happened.

But the errors of these people looking to get high continues.

  • He was looking to continue to get high on his feelings and emotions AGAIN.
  • He taught these things to his son and his son ends up dead.
  • This John Edwards lying scumbag tells Jerry that his son is there in the audience with him.
  • John Edwards tells Jerry that he spoke with his son. He actually spoke to a devil who deceives.
  • He tells Jerry that his sons says to not worry about him anymore.
  • He says that he’s in a much better place now.

Do you see what they do? I kindly tell Jerry the truth that these people deceive

  • The Bible says to not go to these people. I attempt to give Jerry the Gospel.
  • But he doesn’t want to hear it. The simple word of God doesn’t get them high like these liars do.
  • They seek out these feelings. They want to feel good about themselves.
  • They love to hear lies. AND THEN THEY DESTROY THESE PEOPLE LIKE JERRY.

So back to Faye who called me and told me that she thought she was a reprobate now.

  • In the year 2004 she thought God was with her at the Passion of the Christ movie.
  • She thought the Holy Spirit filled the movie theater because everyone was really still and quiet.
  • For almost 20 years now, she has sought after this same “HIGH FEELING” from what she called “god.”
  • And now, she is at the lowest of lows because her “god” is not with her any more.

She’s been in false churches. I gave her the whole Gospel in detail and explained every verse in detail.

  • She didn’t even know that Jesus is God. So I gave her the Scriptures and she believed them.
  • I asked, “Do you know believe that Jesus is God?” She says, “Yes, I do. That’s what the Bible says.”
  • So, I continue. She tells me that she believes that Jesus died, His body was buried, His soul went to hell, and He arose from the dead.

But then she says that she knows Jesus arose from the dead because God showed her in a vision.

  • I told her to live by the word of God and not by these signs, feelings, and visions.
  • I asked her if she believed Jesus is the Savior of the world, and she says: “Yes, I do.”
  • I asked her if she believes Jesus can save her from her sins and give her everlasting life.
  • She says, “Yes, I believe He can save me, but I don’t think He will. I think it’s too late.”
  • She says that she doesn’t feel the “Holy Spirit” calling her to be saved. She needs to “feel it.”

I told her she doesn’t need to feel it. She needs to believe what God says.

  • Jesus says, “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” She wouldn’t believe that.
  • She then tells me her husband was saved when Jesus came to him in person.

I asked her, “Has your husband heard the Gospel as I just gave it to you?” She says no.

  • He read it for himself. I told her it doesn’t work that way. They go by these feelings they get.
  • They go by these deceptions they get.
  • They are constantly seeking after these feelings they equate with God.
  • They want to get high on these feelings. They want to cry. They want these overwhelming emotions.

And we’ve seen that the devils can do all of these things by “movements” from the past.

  • They called it Holy Laughter and Drunk in the Spirit. Laughing for Jesus in church.
  • Here’s a quote: “Charles Finney wrote that after he testified about his experience of being baptized in the spirit, a normally serious elder of his church fell into a most spasmodic laughter. It seemed as if it was impossible for him to keep from laughing from the very bottom of his heart.”
  • Yeah, the devils were laughing at both of the liars. These false preachers are possessed.

These people simply look to get high on what they call Jesus. It’s not happening. LIES. Deceptions.

  • Many of them end up getting possessed by devils. They work in these people to send people to hell.
  • And now, Faye, almost 20 years after seeking these high feelings, believes she is a reprobate.

When I finished giving her the Gospel, I asked her if she has ever heard the Gospel like this.

  • She says, “No, that’s the first time.” And I told her to believe it and be saved today.
  • But she wouldn’t believe it. And she rejected the Gospel. I told her what was happening in her life.
  • But she continues to trust in the liars and not in the word of God.
  • She continues to call so-called “Christian” hotlines instead of listening to the Gospel of John.
  • I pray for Faye to be pulled out of the fire that she’s headed to.
  • The devil and his devils are doing this to people. We need to pull them out now.

I’ve known a man named Isaac who says he had preachers pray for him before and he would get this overwhelming feeling.

  • These people love these feelings. So-called holy laughter. Falling to the ground without strength.
  • Shaking, convulsing, crying, uncontrollably, fire burning within them, flashes of electricity.
  • Did you know the Passion of the Christ lead actor says he was struck by lightning?
  • A false preacher scum of the earth named Dr. E.D. Whiteside said this in the late 1800’s:

“Like a flash of electricity, I was instantly thrilled. Every point of my body and nerves was controlled by a strange sensation that increased in volume, until I bowed lower and lower to the floor. I was filled with the ecstatic thrill. My physical frame was unable to stand the strain.”

  • He reported that he felt he was on the verge of dying from being overjoyed.
  • Here’s another quote from these people who love to get high on so-called “SIGNS FROM GOD.”

“In the spring of 1904, Evan found himself, as it were, on the Mount of Transfiguration. In his own home and out on the countryside, his loving Heavenly Father revealed Himself to His child in an amazing overwhelming manner which filled his soul with divine awe. At these special seasons, every member of his body trembled until the bed was shaken.”

  • People think groaning loudly and roaring is a sign from God. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE KNOW THE GOSPEL.
  • There are tens of thousands of so-called holy experiences from God told by false preachers everywhere.
  • Did you know these people are everywhere? And none of them know how to be saved.

A woman in Kentucky that my wife was attempting to give the Gospel to told my wife that Jesus shows up to her in visions in her backyard so she knows she’s going to heaven.

  • A woman a month or two ago in this city, in her garage, told us she knows she’s going to heaven because she speaks to her dead family members who are already in heaven.
  • And these don’t EVER want to hear the Gospel. NEVER. We are all here today to fight this evil.

And how do we fight this evil? We preach the Gospel, and we give it all we’ve got every time we go.

  • And we’ll go out and preach the Gospel as often as we can and for as long as we can. We don’t stop.
  • Please turn to Romans Chapter 1. Romans Chapter 1 as we finish this up today.
  • We trust God to lead us to the right people. We trust God to convince these people to give us time.
  • We trust God that the people He wants to be saved will listen. God knows we will do His work.
  • WE TRUST GOD AND HIS WORDS. We want to see the lost saved by Jesus Christ.
  • Look at verse 16 in Romans Chapter 1.

Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

  • The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.
  • What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
  • From FAITH to FAITH. The just shall live by faith.
  • The Bible doesn’t say we’re going to live by signs from God.
  • OR emotions. OR feelings. OR seeking a high from God.

Do you what I seek? My high is when someone, after hearing the Gospel and believing the Gospel, prays and says, “Jesus, please save me now.”

  • “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
  • “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?”
  • And my high is not about me. It’s about someone else being saved from death and hell.
  • It’s about someone else receiving everlasting life. It’s about someone else going to heaven when they die.

It’s not about us getting high on our feelings and emotions. Worshipping God has nothing to do with that.

  • No one will ever go to heaven without hearing the Gospel and believing the Gospel.
  • A so-called sign from heaven won’t save you. The “FEELING” that God is with you won’t save you.
  • Seeking signs and emotional highs will break you, kill you, and send you to hell.
  • I’ve seen the examples in this life. Let’s put on the armor of God and go fight this trash.
  • Let’s fight the spiritual wickedness in high places.

And guess what? We’ve already won. We might lose some battles. We might lose Faye. We might lose Jerry.

  • We might lose our physical family. We might lose a son. We might lose a daughter.
  • We might lose a Dad. We might lose a Mom. But we might not IF we go preach the Gospel.
  • I might lose my sister, but I will do my best to go get someone else’s sister saved.
  • We plant the seeds. We preach the word of God. And His words will not return void.

Stop gettin’ high out there and simply trust the word of God. Notice that we don’t have people shaking here.

  • We don’t have people groaning and roaring. We don’t have people laughing hysterically.
  • We don’t have people asking God to show them a sign. We have people hearing the word of God.
  • We have people trusting the word of God.

Let’s pray.

    So sad so many follow their feelings rather than the word of God. There will be a day of reckoning when the tares will be removed from the good seed. The world grows more evil every day with ever increasing tares, the evil followers of satan, continually increasing their battle with the good seeds, those who are born again followers in Jesus Christ, the sower of the seeds. The corrupt preachers who pretend to do the work of God and their followers who seek God in their own perverse way, relying on their own selves’ sense of well being not rooted in God’s word, will suffer eternal death in the furnace of fire. The angels will reap the world from the harvest of tares, to be consumed in fire, ushering in a new heaven and a new earth, forever free of the evil doers who perverse the works of Christ. “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear (Mathew 13: 43)”
    Mathew 13:
    24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
    25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
    26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
    27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
    28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
    29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
    30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
    36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
    37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
    38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
    39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
    40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
    41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
    42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
    43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

      Hello Philip, you’re right! Thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing well. Yes, it is sad that I go to the door of Jehovah’s Witness idiot and show them that Jesus is God from the Scriptures and they argue. They say, “He’s a creation. He’s the Master Helper but God created Jesus.” Idiots. Show them John 1:1, Hebrews 1:8, Revelation 1:8, 1 Timothy 3:16, Matthew 1:23, and more. But they are too blinded by false preachers that are going to hell and taking them with them. Calling God’s words a lie = idiots. That’s what these people do.
