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:

How To Identify The False Prophet

WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE IN A WAR. IN A WAR SOME OF THE ENEMY ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY. YOU CAN TELL THEM BY THEIR UNIFORMS. BUT SOME OF THE ENEMY ARE NOT SO EASY TO IDENTIFY AS SPIES, AND SABOTEURS, AND TERRORIST. SOME OF SATAN'S CHILDREN ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY BECAUSE THEY CURSE, AND BLASPHEME. BUT SOME OF SATAN'S CHILDREN ARE NOT SO EASY TO IDENTIFY SUCH AS THE FALSE PROPHETS, AND THE FALSE TEACHERS. ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FALSE PROPHET IS THAT EVERYONE SPEAKS WELL OF THEM. JESUS CHRIST WARNED HIS DISCIPLES WITH THESE WORDS.

Lk:6:26: Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (KJV)

WHY DO ALL MEN SPEAK WELL OF THE FALSE PROPHET? BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE LOVE A SERMON THAT IS LIES, HALF TRUTHS, DECEITFUL. THE WORDS IN THE MOUTHS OF THE FALSE PROPHET ARE AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER.

Is:30:8: Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

Is:30:9: That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

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:

FALSE PROPHETS, AND FALSE TEACHERS, PREACH WHAT IS KNOWN AS PROPAGANDA. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH A WAR, YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD PROPAGANDA. THE WORD PROPAGANDA IS IDEAS, OR FACTS, OR ALLEGATIONS, SPREAD DELIBERATELY TO FURTHER ONES CAUSE, OR TO DAMAGE AN OPPOSING CAUSE. IN A TIME OF WAR NATIONS SET UP MULTITUDES OF PEOPLES TO SOW SEEDS OF HATE. THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY MAY BE TRUE, OR FALSE, AS LONG AS IT ACCOMPLISHES IT'S PURPOSE. SATAN'S PURPOSE IS TO DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. AND THE FALSE PROPHETS DO THEIR FATHER, SATAN'S, WILL. IF IT FORWARDS THEIR PURPOSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THEY WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IF IT FORWARDS THEIR PURPOSE TO TELL YOU A LIE, THEY WILL TELL YOU A LIE. JESUS CHRIST SAID THESE WORDS ABOUT THE FALSE PROPHETS.

Jn:8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (KJV)

IF YOU ARE A NEW CHRISTIAN YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SCRIPTURES, AND NOT ACQUAINTED WITH HOW SATAN, AND HIS CHILDREN, DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. SATAN USES THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AS A WEAPON, TO DESTROY THE CHILDREN OF GOD. FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S COMMANDMENT IS SIN, AND THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.

Rom:6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, LET ME READ TO YOU HOW THAT SATAN CAUSED THE GREATEST DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE; THAT THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOW. AND AS I TELL YOU OF THIS DESTRUCTION, THE DESTRUCTION IS GOING ON THIS VERY DAY. AND WILL CONTINUE PROBABLY UNTIL THE LORD JESUS CHRIST RETURNS. IN THE BEGINNING THE LORD CREATED MAN, AND HE TOOK THE MAN THAT HE HAD CREATED AND PLACED HIM IN A PARADISE, AND GOD CREATED A WOMAN, TO BE A HELPMATE TO THE MAN. AND GOD GAVE THE MAN ADAM A COMMANDMENT THAT HE COULD EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN, EXCEPT THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL. BUT IN THE DAY THAT HE ATE OF THAT TREE, HE WOULD SURELY DIE. THE COMMANDMENT THAT GOD GAVE TO THE MAN, ADAM, WAS TO SAVE HIS LIFE. BUT THE COMMANDMENT BROUGHT DEATH.

Gn: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?

Gn:3:2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

Gn:3:3: 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.

Gn:3:4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Gn:3:5: 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.

Gn:3:6: 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.

HOLY CHILDREN, SATAN USES HIS CHILDREN THE FALSE PROPHET, THE FALSE EVANGELIST, PASTOR, AND TEACHER, AS HE USED THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. WHEN THE SERPENT SAID THAT THEIR EYES WOULD BE OPEN, THAT WAS THE TRUTH. THEIR EYES WERE OPEN, AND THEY DID KNOW GOOD, AND EVIL. BUT WHEN HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT DIE, THAT WAS A LIE, AND BROUGHT DEATH TO ADAM, AND EVE. BUT NOT ONLY TO ADAM, AND EVE, BUT TO ALL MANKIND, FOR ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM AT THE TIME THAT HE ATE OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL. AND, SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ALL MANKIND. WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL DIED.

1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (KJV)

LISTEN CAREFULLY, CHILD OF GOD, HOW SERIOUS IS SIN? SIN IS TREMENDOUSLY SERIOUS. BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF ADAM, ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE INWARD MAN, THE SOUL DIED, THAT PART OF A MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, DIED. IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY. THE OUTWARD MAN OF FLESH, AND BLOOD, SHALL PERISH. BUT, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL IS RENEWED EVERY DAY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV)

BELOVED OF GOD, BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM DEATH REIGNED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS UPON ALL MEN. MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, WENT OUT INTO ETERNITY WITHOUT HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. BECAUSE OF THE CURSE, MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, WERE DESTROYED, AND THEIR SOULS FED TO THE FLAMES.

Is:24:6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, BECAUSE OF SIN, THERE WERE ONLY A FEW SOULS SAVED FROM THE FLOOD, NOAH, AND HIS FAMILY ; EIGHT SOULS. THE WORD "FEW" DEFINED, IS THREE OR MORE. YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE FALSE PROPHET BY THEIR DOCTRINE. FOR THEIR DOCTRINE IS DESIGNED TO LEAD PEOPLE TO DESTRUCTION. HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR SAYINGS. THEY SAY, "GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY." THERE ARE CONDITIONS TO GOD'S LOVE. ANOTHER SAYINGS IS, "ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO." ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED IS TRUE. IF, YOU ARE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. BUT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO IS HERESY.

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. (KJV)

COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, CHILD OF GOD, WHEN A MAN IS FIRST CALLED TO REPENTANCE, JUSTIFIED, GLORIFIED, BAPTISED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. AND, RECEIVES THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. HE IS LIKE A SMALL CHILD. THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF THEM AS BABES IN CHRIST. THE BABE IN CHRIST TRIES TO WALK UP RIGHT BEFORE GOD, BUT HE STUMBLES, AND FALLS, THROUGH IGNORANCE. AND WHEN HE COMES INTO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HE HAS TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, HE CAN CONFESS THE 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, HOLY CHILDREN, AFTER A WHILE HE COMES INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, HE KNOWS ABOUT REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, HE KNOWS ABOUT FAITH TOWARD GOD, HE KNOWS ABOUT THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND ABOUT THE ETERNAL JUDGMENT. ONCE HE HAS COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH; HE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT HE DOES. FOR IF HE SINS WILLFULLY AFTER HE COMES INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. IF A PERSON SINS WILFULLY AFTER HE COMES INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. HE DOES THREE THINGS, FIRST, HE TRODS UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD. SECOND, HE COUNTS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHEREWITH HE WAS SANCTIFIED, AN UNHOLY THING. THIRDLY, HE DOES DESPITE TO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.

Heb:10:26: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Heb:10:27: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Heb:10:28: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Heb:10:29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Heb:10:30: For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Heb:10:31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

THE FALSE PROPHET PREACHES THAT, FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION. THERE IS MORE TO SALVATION THAN JUST FAITH. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD BEING ALONE. AND, PEOPLE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE. BUT LITTLE CHILDREN THERE WILL COME AN HOUR IN WHICH ALL MEN SHALL STAND BEFORE GOD, AND GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THIS TABERNACLE OF FLESH. I SAY, "FILL YOUR LIFE WITH GOOD WORKS."

Jms:2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (KJV)

THERE ARE FALSE PROPHETS THAT PREACH, "GOD THE FATHER", AND DENY THAT GOD THE FATHER HAS A SON, AND THERE ARE FALSE TEACHERS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT PREACH "JESUS", AND DENY THAT HE HAS A FATHER. BUT EXCEPT A MAN BELIEVE IN BOTH GOD THE FATHER, AND JESUS CHRIST THE SON. HE IS ANTICHRIST. 1868

1Jn:2:22: Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT IF A PROPHET PROPHESIES, AND THE THING DOES NOT COME TO PASS THAT HE PROPHESIED. THEN HE IS A FALSE PROPHET.

Dt:18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, THE LORD COMMANDS HIS CHILDREN TO BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHY? BECAUSE THEIR DOCTRINE WILL LEAD YOU TO DESTRUCTION. YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS.

Mt:7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mt:7:16: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Mt:7:17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

LISTEN CAREFULLY, HOLY CHILDREN, IF A PREACHER DOES NOT PREACH ACCORDING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN HIM.

Is:8:20: To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

BELOVED OF GOD, I WAS READING THROUGH A DICTIONARY ONE DAY, AND CAME UPON THE WORD "FRANKENSTIEN" AND THE DEFINITION WAS, ANYTHING THAT A MAN BUILDS THAT KILLS HIM IS A FRANKENSTIEN. IF MEN PREACH THAT GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT TO EAT CERTAIN MEATS, AND BUILDS AGAIN THOSE DIETARY LAWS THAT WERE RECORDED IN THE LAW OF MOSES' HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. IF HE PREACHES A MAN SHOULD NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND BUILDS AGAIN THOSE SABBATH DAY LAWS; HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. IF HE PREACHES TITHING, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAWS ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES' HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. FOR THOSE LAWS HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. TO TRANSGRESS THOSE LAWS BROUGHT THE CURSE, OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. IF WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD COULD HAVE BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS BY THE LAW OF MOSES' THEN CHRIST HAS DIED IN VAIN. NO MAN SHALL BE JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW OF MOSES', FOR THE LAW OF MOSES' IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. BUT, WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE JUSTIFIED, ACQUITTED OF SIN, BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

Gal:2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Gal:2:17: But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

NOTICE THIS SAINTS OF GOD, ALL OF ISRAEL WENT UNDER THE CURSE, OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION, BECAUSE OF THE TITHING LAWS. THE TITHING LAW HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER, IF A MAN WAS ONE GRAIN OF CORN SHORT, OR ONE PENNY SHORT, OR ONE LAMB SHORT, HE WENT UNDER THE CURSE OR SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION.

Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
