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

GOD HAS SAID, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. WHAT IS A SMOOTH SERMON? A SMOOTH SERMON IS A SERMON THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY OFFEND EVEN THE VILEST SINNER. A SMOOTH SERMON IS A SERMON THAT IS PLEASING TO ITCHING EARS. THE LARGER THE CONGREGATION USUALLY THE SMOOTHER THE SERMON.

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:

Is:30:11: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Is:30:12: Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

Is:30:13: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, BEWARE WHEN ALL MEN SPEAK WELL OF A PROPHET, EVANGELIST, PASTOR, OR TEACHER, FOR PEOPLE LOVE THE FALSE PROPHET, THE FALSE EVANGELIST, FALSE PASTOR, AND TEACHER. FOR THE FALSE PROPHET, EVANGELIST, PASTOR, AND TEACHER PREACH AND TEACH THINGS THAT ARE EXTREMELY PLEASING TO THE EAR. HERE IS THE CHARGE, THE INSTRUCTIONS, THAT THE APOSTLE PAUL GAVE TO TIMOTHY; A MINISTER OF JESUS CHRIST.

2Tm:4:1: I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2Tm:4:2: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2Tm:4:3: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

2Tm:4:4: And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2Tm:4:5: But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2Tm:4:6: For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

ARE THERE MANY MEN PREACHING SMOOTH SERMONS DESIGNED FOR ITCHING EARS TODAY? MULTITUDES OF MEN ARE PREACHING TO PLEASE ITCHING EARS, AND SELLING THEIR SERMONS TO THE MASSES FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THE TRUE PROPHET, THE MEN OF GOD DO NOT PREACH TO PLEASE MEN, FOR A MAN CANNOT PLEASE BOTH GOD, AND MAN. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS.

Gal:1:10: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, ARE COMMANDED TO REPROVE, REBUKE, EXHORT THE SAINTS OF GOD. WHAT DOES THE WORD "REPROVE" MEAN, IT IS TO SCOLD, OR CORRECT USUALLY GENTLY OR WITH KINDLY INTENT. 2. TO EXPRESS DISAPPROVAL OF. THE WORD "REBUKE" IS DEFINED AS TO SHARPLY CRITICIZE, TO REPRIMAND. WHAT DOES THE WORD "EXHORT" MEAN? IT MEANS TO URGE EARNESTLY, TO WARN OF DANGER. THE FALSE PROPHETS DO NOT REPROVE, NOR DO THEY REBUKE, NEITHER DO THEY EXHORT. WE, AS SAINTS OF GOD ARE NOT UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT, BUT THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO THEM WERE RECORDED FOR OUR ADMONISHMENT. LISTEN AS GOD WARNS EZEKIEL ABOUT THE WICKED.

Ez:3:17: Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me

Ez:3:18: When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ez:3:19: Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Ez:3:20: Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ez:3:21: Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, PREACH PROPAGANDA, THEY WILL SAY WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FORWARD THERE PURPOSE, IF IT FORWARDS THEIR PURPOSE TO TELL YOU A LIE, THEY WILL TELL YOU A LIE, IF IT FORWARDS THEIR PURPOSE TO TELL YOU A HALF TRUTH, THEY WILL TELL YOU A HALF TRUTH. THE CHILDREN OF SATAN HATE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THEY DO WHATSOEVER IT TAKES TO LEAD THE SAINTS OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. THE FALSE PROPHET PREACHES WITH THIS THOUGHT IN MIND, IF SOMETHING IS NOT PLEASING TO THE EAR, LET SOMEONE ELSE TELL THE PEOPLE. IF FALSE PROPHET REPROVED, REBUKED, EXHORTED, THE PEOPLE THEY COULD NOT SELL THEIR SERMONS. A PERSON CAN PREACH A SMOOTH SERMON PROVIDED THEY USE THE PROPER HERESIES. HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR SUBJECTS OR HERESIES THAT THEY USE TO SOOTHE THE ITCHING EARS. "GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY." BUT THEY DO NOT USE THIS TEXT WHEN THEY PREACH THIS 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)

THERE ARE CONDITIONS TO GOD'S LOVE. GOD LOVES ONLY HIS ELECT. GOD LOVES ONLY THOSE THAT FOUND GRACE IN HIS EYES BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. GRACE IS AN UNMERITED FAVOR. BEFORE WE WERE BORN, BEFORE WE HAD DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL GOD LOVED US.

Eph:1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Eph:1:4: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph:1:5: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Eph:1:6: To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

GOD LOVES HIS CHILDREN, BUT NOT EVERY MAN IS A CHILD OF GOD. THERE ARE BOTH THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN IN THIS PRESENT WORLD. WHEN GOD CREATED HIS CHILDREN, HE ORDAINED US TO ETERNAL LIFE. ONLY THOSE THAT ARE ORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE SHALL BELIEVE. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD THESE WORDS.

Acts:13:47: For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Acts:13:48: And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PREACHERS THAT PREACH THIS DOCTRINE. "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO." BUT THEY DO NOT PREACH FROM THIS TEXT.

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, (KJV)

MULTITUDES OF MEN PREACH THIS DOCTRINE. FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION. BUT THEY DO NOT PREACH FROM THIS TEXT.

Jms:2:26: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

FOR A PERSON TO MAKE HEAVEN THIER HOME THEY MUST BE BORN OF WATER BAPTIZED. WHEN THE ELECT OF GOD ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. THEY ARE TRANSLATED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS WHERE GOD'S CHILDREN RECEIVE SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS AS ETERNAL LIFE, AND THE IMMORTAL BODY.

1Jn:5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (KJV)

IF A PERSON BELIEVES THE DOCTRINE "ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT A PERSON DOES." IT COULD CAUSE THEIR DESTRUCTION. IF A PERSON THAT IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, IS NOT FRUITFUL GOD WILL PLUCK HIM FROM THE BODY OF CHRIST.

Jn:15:1: I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (KJV)

Jn:15:2: Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Jn:15:4: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Jn:15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Jn:15:6: If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Jn:15:7: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

THE SECRET TO RECEIVING ETERNAL LIFE IS TO BE FRUITFUL, TO BE FRUITFUL A PERSON MUST REMAIN IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, TO REMAIN IN JESUS CHRIST A PERSON MUST OBEY CHRIST, TO OBEY JESUS A PERSON MUST LOVE HIM. TO LOVE CHRIST A PERSON MUST KNOW HIM. THE FALSE PROPHET PREACHES THAT GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT GOING THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION. WHY DO THEY PREACH THIS DOCTRINE. WHEN YOU SEE EVIL THINK MONEY. IF A MAN WHERE TO PREACH THAT GOD'S CHILDREN ARE GOING THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION, HE COULD NOT SELL THAT SERMON FOR A NICKEL. GOD'S CHILDREN SHALL GO THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION, BECAUSE THE FIRST TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THIS PRESENT WORLD ARE SATAN'S CHILDREN. WHEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH, HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS TO FIRST GATHER THE TARES, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, FIRST. THEN SHALL GOD'S CHILDREN SHINE LIKE THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER.

Mt: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:

Mt:13:25: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mt:13:26: But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Mt:13:27: 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?

Mt:13:28: He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Mt:13:29: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

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.

HERE IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PARABLE.

Mt:13:36: 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.

Mt:13:37: He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Mt:13:38: The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Mt:13:39: The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Mt:13:40: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Mt:13:41: 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;

Mt:13:42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mt:13:43: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

THE MEN THAT PREACH THE SMOOTH SERMONS PREACH NOTHING ABOUT THE WORKS OF THE FLESH. WHY NOT? BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE PROFITABLE TO THEM. IF A MAN WERE TO PREACH AGAINST ADULTERY, AND STATE PLAINLY THAT ADULTERY DESTROYS THE SOUL, HE WOULD PROBABLY LOSE HALF OF HIS CONGREGATION. WHY BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE IN ADULTERY.

Prv:6:32: But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. (KJV)

ADULTERY IS LISTED AS THE NUMBER ONE REASON THAT MEN, AND WOMEN SHALL LOSE THEIR INHERITANCE.

Gal:5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal:5:20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Gal:5:21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

A MAN MAY MARRY A WOMAN THINKING THAT HE IS DOING GOD'S WILL. BUT, IN REALITY HE IS MARRYING INTO ADULTERY. IF A MAN MARRIES A WOMAN THAT HAS A LIVING HUSBAND, HE WILL BE MARRYING INTO ADULTERY.

Rom:7:1: Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

Rom:7:2: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

Rom:7:3: So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

IF A MAN DIVORCES HIS WIFE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN FORNICATION, AND REMARRIES. HE WILL BE LIVING IN ADULTERY.

Mt:19:9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
