A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

The False Prophet

WHAT IS A FALSE PROPHET? A FALSE PROPHET IS A LIAR, A DECEIVER, A FALSE WITNESS, A PREVARICATOR, A HERETIC, A TREACHEROUS PERSON, A CHILD OF THE SATAN THAT DOES HIS FATHER’S WILL; AND IT IS THE WILL OF SATAN TO SEND EVERY CHILD OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. 2PT:2:1 BUT THERE WERE FALSE PROPHETS ALSO AMONG THE PEOPLE, EVEN AS THERE SHALL BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERESIES, EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM, AND BRING UPON THEMSELVES SWIFT DESTRUCTION. AS SATAN USED THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN; HE USES THE FALSE PROPHETS TODAY. HOW CAN A PERSON RECOGNIZE THE FALSE PROPHET? ALL MEN SPEAK WELL OF FALSE PROPHETS. LK:6:26 WOE UNTO YOU, WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU! FOR SO DID THEIR FATHERS TO THE FALSE PROPHETS. PEOPLE LOVE THE FALSE PROPHETS, BECAUSE THEY PREACH SMOOTH SERMONS, SERMONS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR ITCHING EARS. SERMONS THAT WOULD NOT OFFEND EVEN THE VILEST SINNER. IS:30:10 WHICH SAY TO THE SEERS, SEE NOT: AND TO THE PROPHETS, PROPHESY NOT UNTO US RIGHT THINGS, SPEAK UNTO US SMOOTH THINGS, PROPHESY DECEITS: SOME OF THE FALSE PROPHETS ARE GREAT ORATORS, THEY KNOW JUST HOW TO RAISE THEIR VOICE TO MAKE A POINT, AND JUST WHEN TO PAUSE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION. ROM:16:18 FOR THEY THAT ARE SUCH SERVE NOT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BUT THEIR OWN BELLY; AND BY GOOD WORDS AND FAIR SPEECHES DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE SIMPLE. SATAN USES HIS CHILDREN TO TEMPT A PERSON TO TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. IF A PERSON YIELDS TO TEMPTATION, THEN COMES THE CURSE, THEN COMES CONDEMNATION. HERE IS THE TEMPTATION OF EVE, THAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM. GN:3:1 NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTIL THEN 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? 2. AND THE WOMAN SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, WE MAY EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN: 3. BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD HATH SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE. 4. AND THE SERPENT SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE: 5. FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF, THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL. 6. AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT THE TREE WAS GOOD FOR FOOD, AND THAT IT WAS PLEASANT TO THE EYES, AND A TREE TO BE DESIRED TO MAKE ONE WISE, SHE TOOK OF THE FRUIT THEREOF, AND DID EAT, AND GAVE ALSO UNTO HER HUSBAND WITH HER; AND HE DID EAT. EVE WAS DECEIVED, BUT ADAM WAS NOT, ADAM KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE, 1TM:2:11 LET THE WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION. 12. BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE. 13. FOR ADAM WAS FIRST FORMED, THEN EVE. 14. AND ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE TRANSGRESSION. BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, DEATH REIGNED UPON ALL MANKIND FROM ADAM UNTIL MOSES. MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WENT OUT INTO ETERNITY WITHOUT HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. ROM:5:14 NEVERTHELESS DEATH REIGNED FROM ADAM TO MOSES, EVEN OVER THEM THAT HAD NOT SINNED AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF ADAM’S TRANSGRESSION, WHO IS THE FIGURE OF HIM THAT WAS TO COME. THE SPIRITUAL DEATH REIGNED ON THE GENTILES FROM ADAM UNTIL PETER VISITED CORNELIUS’S HOME. EPH:2:11 WHEREFORE REMEMBER, THAT YOU BEING IN TIME PAST GENTILES IN THE FLESH, WHO ARE CALLED UNCIRCUMCISION BY THAT WHICH IS CALLED THE CIRCUMCISION IN THE FLESH MADE BY HANDS; 12. THAT AT THAT TIME YE WERE WITHOUT CHRIST, BEING ALIENS FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL, AND STRANGERS FROM THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE, HAVING NO HOPE, AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD: 13. BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS YE WHO SOMETIMES WERE FAR OFF ARE MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. 14. FOR HE IS OUR PEACE, WHO HATH MADE BOTH ONE, AND HATH BROKEN DOWN THE MIDDLE WALL OF PARTITION BETWEEN US; 15. HAVING ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY, EVEN THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES; FOR TO MAKE IN HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN, SO MAKING PEACE; THE DECEIVERS USE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AS A WEAPON TO DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. FOR EXAMPLE GOD GAVE ADAM A COMMANDMENT THAT HE COULD EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN EXCEPT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL. THE COMMANDMENT WAS GIVEN TO SAVE ADAM’S LIFE, BUT IT CAUSED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH OF ALL MANKIND. ROM:7:9 FOR I WAS ALIVE WITHOUT THE LAW ONCE: BUT WHEN THE COMMANDMENT CAME, SIN REVIVED, AND I DIED. 10. AND THE COMMANDMENT, WHICH WAS ORDAINED TO LIFE, I FOUND TO BE UNTO DEATH. 11. FOR SIN, TAKING OCCASION BY THE COMMANDMENT, DECEIVED ME, AND BY IT SLEW ME. WAS ADAM A CHILD OF GOD? YES, LK:3:38 WHICH WAS THE SON OF ENOS, WHICH WAS THE SON OF SETH, WHICH WAS THE SON OF ADAM, WHICH WAS THE SON OF GOD. WAS ADAM ALIVE BOTH PHYSICALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY? YES, ADAM WAS A ALIVE SPIRITUALLY, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL WAS ALIVE. GN:2:7 AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL. BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ALL MANKIND, WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM WE ALL DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. 1COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. DID GOD DRIVE ADAM, HIS SON AND EVE, AWAY FROM THE TREE OF LIFE? YES. GN:3:22 AND THE LORD GOD SAID, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL: AND NOW, LEST HE PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TAKE ALSO OF THE TREE OF LIFE, AND EAT, AND LIVE FOR EVER; 23. THEREFORE THE LORD GOD SENT HIM FORTH FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, TO TILL THE GROUND FROM WHENCE HE WAS TAKEN. 24. SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS, AND A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE. WHEN A CHILD IS BORN INTO THE WORLD, BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM, HE IS ALIVE PHYSICALLY, BUT DEAD SPIRITUALLY. THE CHILD MUST BE BORN AGAIN, MUST BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, MUST RECEIVE THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. JN:3:5 JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. TI:3:5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST; YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE HERETICS BY THEIR DOCTRINE, THEY PREACH THAT GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY. THERE ARE CONDITIONS TO GOD’S LOVE. TO BE LOVED OF GOD, YOU MUST BE A CHILD OF GOD, YOU MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE BORN AGAIN CHILD OF GOD BECAUSE HE WILL NOT COMMIT THE WILLFUL SIN. 1JN:3:9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM; AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. 10. IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER. THE DECEIVERS PREACH THAT THE CHURCH SHALL BE RAPTURED BEFORE THE TRIBULATION. WHEN IN REALITY IT IS THE TARES, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, THAT SHALL BE GATHERED FIRST, AND BURNED. JESUS CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS. MT:13:30 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. MULTITUDES OF FALSE WITNESSES PREACH FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION. THERE IS MORE TO SALVATION THEN JUST FAITH. A PERSON MUST REPENT. LK:13:5 I TELL YOU, NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. A PERSON MUST BE BORN OF WATER (BAPTIZED) AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT ( MUST RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST). JN:3:5 JESUS ANSWERED, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? ROM:14:17 FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. A PERSON MUST WASH THE FEET OF THE SAINTS AND LET THEM WASH HIS FEET. JN:13:6 THEM COMETH HE TO SIMON PETER: AND PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, DOST THOU WASH MY FEET? 7. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER. 8. PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT NEVER WASH MY FEET. JESUS ANSWERED HIM, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU HAST NO PART WITH ME. 9. SIMON PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, NOT MY FEET ONLY, BUT ALSO MY HANDS AND MY HEAD. 10. JESUS SAITH TO HIM, HE THAT IS WASHED NEEDETH NOT SAVE TO WASH HIS FEET, BUT IS CLEAN EVERY WHIT: AND YE ARE CLEAN, BUT NOT ALL. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. 1JN:5:11 AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT I KNOW THAT A PERSON CAN GET INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27 FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. THE ELECT OF GOD MUST BELIEVE AND CONFESS. ROM:10:9 THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. 10. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. WE , AS SAINTS OF GOD MUST EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS. AND WE EAT OF THE FLESH AND DRINK OF HIS BLOOD WHEN WE PARTAKE OF THE LORD’S SUPPER. JN:6:53 THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, ‘YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. THE FALSE TEACHERS TEACH TITHING. WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD ARE NOT UNDER THE TITHING LAWS FOR KINGS DO NOT TAX THEIR OWN CHILDREN. MT:17:24 AND WHEN THEY WERE COME TO CAPERNAUM, THEY THAT RECEIVED TRIBUTE MONEY CAME TO PETER, AND SAID, DOTH NOT YOUR MASTER PAY TRIBUTE? 25. HE SAITH, YES, AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO THE HOUSE, JESUS PREVENTED HIM, SAYING, WHAT THINKEST THOU, SIMON? OF WHOM DO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TAKE CUSTOM OR TRIBUTE? OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN, OR OF STRANGERS? 26. PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, OF STRANGERS. JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, THEN ARE THE CHILDREN FREE. THE LIARS PREACH "ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO." BUT THEY DO NOT PREACH FROM THIS TEXT. ROM:11:22 BEHOLD THEREFORE THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD; ON THEM WHICH FELL, SEVERITY; BUT TOWARD THEE, GOODNESS, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF. BEFORE THE ELECT OF GOD RECEIVES THE HOLY GHOST WE ALL RUN WITH THE CHILDREN OF SATAN DOING THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT PLEASING TO GOD. BUT ONCE GOD CALLS US TO REPENTANCE, AND GIVES US THE WASHING OF REGENERATION , AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST , WE DO NOT CONTINUE IN SIN. ROM:6:1 WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND? 2. GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE , THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN? 3. KNOW YE NOT, THAT SO MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO JESUS CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? 4. THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM BY BAPTISM INTO DEATH: THAT LIKE AS CHRIST WAS RAISED UP FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER, EVEN SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. WHEN WE, AS THE ELECT OF GOD, FIRST RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST WE ARE BABES IN CHRIST. AND IF WE SIN IN IGNORANCE WE CAN CONFESS THAT SIN AND BE FORGIVEN. 1JN:1:9 IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. BUT IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH (WE KNOW ABOUT REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, ABOUT FAITH TOWARD GOD, WE KNOW ABOUT THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, AND ABOUT THE ETERNAL JUDGMENT) THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. IF A PERSON FALLS AWAY ( RENOUNCES HIS FAITH, AND WITHDRAWS HIS SUPPORT FROM THE CHURCH) HE CANNOT REPENT OF THAT SIN. HEB:6:1 THEREFORE LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTION; NOT LAYING AGAIN THE FOUNDATION OF REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, AND OF FAITH TOWARD GOD, 2. OF THE DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMS, AND OF LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND OF RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, AND OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT. 3. AND THIS WILL WE DO, IF GOD PERMIT. 4. FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO WERE ONCE ENLIGHTENED, AND HAVE TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, AND WERE MADE PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST, 5. AND HAVE TASTED THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, AND THE POWERS OF THE WORLD TO COME, 6. IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, TO RENEW THEM AGAIN UNTO REPENTANCE; SEEING THEY CRUCIFY TO THEMSELVES THE SON OF GOD AFRESH, AND PUT HIM TO OPEN SHAME. HEB:6:8 BUT THAT WHICH BEARETH THORNS AND BRIERS IS REJECTED, AND IS NIGH UNTO CURSING WHOSE END IS TO BE BURNED. THE TRUE PROPHET WARNS THE PEOPLE; REMEMBER JOHN THE BAPTIST. 2TM:4:2 PREACH THE WORD: BE INSTANT IN SEASON, OUT OF SEASON; REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND DOCTRINE. AMPLIFIED VERSION. HERALD AND PREACH THE WORD! KEEP YOUR SENSE OF URGENCY ( STAND BY, BE AT HAND AND READY) WHETHER THE OPPORTUNITY SEEMS TO BE FAVORABLE OR UNFAVORABLE. ( WHETHER IT IS CONVENIENT OR INCONVENIENT, WHETHER IT IS WELCOME OR UNWELCOME, YOU AS PREACHER OF THE WORD ARE TO SHOW PEOPLE IN WHAT WAY THEIR LIVES ARE WRONG.) AND CONVINCE THEM, REBUKING AND CORRECTING, WARNING AND URGING AND ENCOURAGING THEM, BE UNFLAGGING AND INEXHAUSTIBLE IN PATIENCE AND TEACHING.
