So this evening we continue with our theories. We are looking at the doctrine of the church ecclestiology. We've been able to establish a few truths. We've looked at reasons why we need to study the subject matter. We've also taken out time to look at the etymology of the world Church. We've also taken out time to look at the origin of the Church. We've taken out time to look at the nature of the Church. We've taken out time to look at the leadership, structure and the authority of the church. And then we've also taken our time to look at the operational modalities of the church, and then the DNA of the church. I think that was the last thing we did, and I told us cardinally speaking, when you are dealing with the subject of the church, the DNA, the operational modality.

So this evening we continue with our theories. We are looking at the doctrine of the church ecclestiology. We've been able to establish a few truths. We've looked at reasons why we need to study the subject matter. We've also taken out time to look at the etymology of the world Church. We've also taken out time to look at the origin of the Church. We've taken out time to look at the nature of the Church. We've taken out time to look at the leadership, structure and the authority of the church. And then we've also taken our time to look at the operational modalities of the church, and then the DNA of the church. I think that was the last thing we did, and I told us cardinally speaking, when you are dealing with the subject of the church, the DNA, the operational modality. At the DNA of the church, they have six major emphasis. As far as the New Testament is concerned, we read that from Acts of the Apostles, Chapter two, Can we look at it? Can we project it acts to verse forty two and forty six, and then match to twenty eight vers. Nineteen to twenty. We looked at sixteenths very critical in the study of the operation of the church. We are we able to project s cryptures, okay, the Bible said, And they continued stepfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers. They continued stepfastly in the apostles, doctrine, in fellowship, breaking of bread, and in prayers verse forty six. And then March to twenty eight, verse nineteen. And they continuing. Daily with one accord in the temple, breaking bread from house to house. They did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart Matchew twenty eight, eighteen to nineteen. The Bible said, go ye, dear four and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Next verse is a teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, And lo I am with. You always, even on to the end of the earth of the age. So we said, Cardinal is speaking when you are looking at the church. The operational modality of the church. Number one is doctrine. The church must be established in the truth of God's world. They continued stepfasting in the Apostle's doctrine. So doctrine is cardinal number two in fellowship. So I spoke about communua, living, living as one family, the place of love and interdependence, glory to God. And then the Bible spoke of breaking of break, which is built establishing on the foundation of the New Covenant, that is in the blood of Jesus. And the Bible who spoke about. Prayer, and I spoke about intimacy with the Holy Spirit or life in the Spirit. And then missions like we saw in Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen. The church is always given to mission. So any church that is Christ centered, powered by the Holy Spirit. These are some of the major things that defines or preoccupies the church. The place of the ward doing business with the world like we are doing this evening doctoring. Everybody must be discipled and established. Then the place of love, communia, living oneness because we are the household of faith. And then the place of breaking bread. I means the totality of our faith and reality is built on the finished works of Christ or the New Covenant. And then prayer, life in the Spirit, intimacy with the Holy ghosts, and then of course missions. So when in and decipleship. These are the things that preoccupy any church that is alive. This is the last part of our teaching, and it's important for you to pay attention to this because I've told you before. The ministry of the world is very critical, and it's critical because it does three things amongst other things. Number One, it builds you up, and it gives you your inheritance amongst them which are sanctified. That you are amongst the sanctified does not mean you automatically have your inheritance. You must be built up by. The world to be able to lay hold on the things that are yours in Christ Jesus. Because if these things were to be accessed automatically, nobody. Would be sick. No believer will be sick, because healing health is our inheritance glory to God. But it takes being built up in the world for you to stand and to receive your heritance. In Acts thirty two sixteen past that I commend you to God and to the world of His Greece, which is able to keep you and to build you up and to give you an inheritance. Acts thirty two twenty, I guess amongst them which are sanctified twenty thirty two, to give you an inheritance so you can be built up without the world. This is why your most said Bible studies like these very serious. On Sunday service, everywhere is packed. People are coming looking for miracles, looking for healing. But when it comes to when to spit with the world, you don't see them. This is why we. Keep laboring to bring healing to them. This is why we keep laboring to prophesy to them for them to have breakthrough. If they would take the word serials, they will be built up and they will access their inheritance. I told you that's the first errand of the ministry of the world. And that's what Paul thought. In first Timotacha three from verse fifteen, Timoti past that from th youte noo hath known the holy scripture which is able to device onto salvation, and it said all scripture is given. By the inspiration of God. It is profitable. Second tim Multi three fifteen and sixteen. It is profitable. It is profitable for reproof, correction, instruction, and doctrine, that the man of God might be complete thoroughly punished onto every good works. The word Scripture in second Ti Multi three sixteen is the word graffe. The word graphe speaks of. The rittine word of God, and the errand is to instruct you so that you are built up, and so that you receive your inheritance amongst them which are sanctified. This is why we sit down. We studied the world. And most times when you study the world like this, you are seeing both promises and instructions. You are seeing corrections, you are seeing rebuke, you are seeing reproof, because the idea is not just to bless you with what God has to offer, but to build you up so that you are able to work. In their reality. And then I said, the second layer of the ministry of the world is the logos, where you are hightinged. You are brought up to elevated understanding, to higher intelligence, so that you begin to function in the class of God. The Bible said in jun Chatter one, from verse one to four, he said, in the beginning was the world. The world was with God, and the world was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him. Without him, was not anything made that was made in him was light, and the life was the light of men, and the light shined in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. So when you come into the realm of the logos, you are talking about the mind of God, the ways of God, the methodologies of God. He speaks majorly about how God operates, and the goal is to hide in your understanding so that you begin to operate in the creative realm of life. So the grafe builds you up. It touches your character, it touches your essence, so that you are molded into Christ's likeness. But there is a higher dimension where by the spirit of the Lord, the Word of God begins to elevate your understanding so that you begin to operate and function in. The creative brealm of life. That's when you are not just like Christ in character, but you are also able to operate in the wisdom and the intelligence of Christ. Glory to Jesus. So the Word of God builds you up. It punishes your character to prepare you for your inheritance. And the Word of God also high things or intelligence, and makes you to operate at the level of divine intelligence. That's why Paul was speaking in First Corinthians two, from verse twelve to verse fifteen, Verse fourteen and sixteen pause. That we have not received this spirit that is of this world. Is that we have received this spirit that is of God, he says, So we know the things that are freely given to us by God. Is that these things we teach not. With wars that human wisdom teaches, but with wars that the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing spirit wor things with spiritual So there is a level you get to in the ministry of the world that the Holy Ghost literally hijacks your intelligence. It brings you up to the divine realm of existence. How do how do you. Imagine that these guys were able to pick the thought of God to curate the scripture? How are they able to do that? Because there is the level of the ministry of the world where you are operating at the mind of Christ, at the frequency of the mentality of God. That's why invest the sin of that scripture first. That we know all things, we judge all things because we have the mind of Christ. So as you do business with the world, there's a first player where is like it's all about douce and don'ts you spee some promise you're excited, but you see doos and terms, you see instructions. It is shaping you. It's more than you. But it doesn't end there. A point comes when you become hiding. You just know more than your teachers. You can't gonna explain why there's an intelligence. You know what to do, you know how to do it, you know when to do it. When people are confused, counsel is with you. You can just tell them what to do as though you are living in their future and they are looking at you. They are wondering, how do you know this things? It doesn't you will resonate with your age. You are saying things that are that is older. Is it to be set by the wise? But it's even the wise can't say it because it is the wisdom of the incent of this. But you have entered that frequency. So when you're doing business with the world of God. You are not wasting your time. It is it's gonna change your life. And this is not for you to become a preacher. In your business. In the marketplace, you have intelligence. You are dealing with people. You can tell who is a crook. You can tell what business to enter and which one not to you can tell which Johnny to embakle and which are not to embakle. Because this sandment has come, you have been of great dead in your mentality. This is what the world does. So there is the grafe that instructs you, and there is the logos that upgrades your intelligence. And then there is the rama, which is the third level of the ministry of the world. Jesus speaking in Matthew four, verse three to four, is that man. Shall not leave by bread alone, but by everyy ward that proceeded from the mouth of God. That's the rama of God. When you are dealing at the level of the rama, it is the is the breath of the Almighty. But beyond that, it is the breath of God that comes to empower. So at that level itmits you to become enaghbored. Empowered, you sort of become the back. Too acts of God. So the things you see in the world you now have the capacity to enforce. You can lay hands on the sick, they recover, you cast out devils they get out. I can't stay there. Your decreativity is established. So you don't just have intelligence, you also have the capacity for functionality. This is when the errand of the ministry of the world is complete. Is to build your character, is to upgrade your intelligence and mentality, and it is to empower you for supernatural functionality. So a man of God that will be toughly furnished for good works must be exposed to the ministry of the world. Listen. As beautiful as having an apostle is, having a prophet is, it will not profit you as much if it does not translate to you having a relationship with the Holy gooals and being built on the world of God. Because I will not be with you every day. I don't live in your house. There are emergency situation that will require you taking decisions in split seconds. There's no body you can call at that time. The mind of Christ is to be activated. There are situation that confront you that you need to release power from your spirit. That's not the time to cause somebody. That's the time for this standard, you know, is that the enemy comes in. It's a both like a clawed The spirit of the Lord lives up there is the standard that you rise from within your spirit. But you see, you've got to interact deep to get into that level. So those of you who sit down and sometimes you know the word of God comes, it looks like nothing is Namponi. Give yourself time. You have been built. You don't grow overnight. It takes time to grow. And as you grow and you are transformed and transfigo into a show a day we come even you. We know you are not the same. Again, I want to speak to somebody by the spirit whatever it is that has undermind you confronted you, try to bring reproach to you in this diasey. You are rising above them. I say you are rising above them. Because the word of God in you we produce results in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God. Praise God. So open your spirit and learn the truth of God's word. Open your spirit. You are creator for signs and wonders. You are not creator to be normal. And say, I am the children the Lord that's given to me. We are for signs, we are for wonders. He said, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I don't think this is the version the Bible is talking about, but that version is inside you. You know you are like onions. You keep opening and opening, opening and open. That are hidden dimensions that the world has not yet said, and it will begin to. Manifest and this is glory to God. Yeah, well, ah help me nowh. Geez, I don't know. I don't man say sing your yeah yeah round. I don't know. Mary, sit down for a moment. This evening, we want to take that time to and I mean the arrows of the church. The arrows. We have looked at it and the etymology of the church. We've looked at the origin of the church. We've looked at the authority structure of the church. We've looked at the DNA of the church. We looked at the operational modalities of the church. Now we have to look at the errors of the church, because there is the church Jesus expects. To return to. And if we don't understand the errors of the church, we will not align ourselves correctly. Glory to God. And so there are five things that will be dealing with this evening, and number one is to see from scriptures why it's important for us to study the error of the church. The goal is not to wash. Our deathly linience in the public. When we studied the error of the church. There are biblical reasons why we must do so. And I'm going to advance a. Few of them quickly this evening about nine of them. So we put that at the back of our mind to give us the right heart posture as we go forward in our studies. Number One, we studied the error of the church so that we avoid repeating. The same errors. In First Corinthians ten, verse eleven, the Bible is that these things happened to them as an example for us. They were written down to one of us who leaves in the end of the age. The things that happened to both the church in the wilderness and the early churche, they happened as an example for us, and they were written down as a warning for those of us who are at the end of the age. In Romance fifteen, verse. Four, the Bible is that the things that were written at four time, they were written for our learning so that we true patience and comfort of the scripture might have hope. So it corrects us, but it corrects us in hope, so that we don't repeat the error. When we see this error, we now know that it is possible to avoid them, and by the help of God, we rise up above these errors. Number two, why do we need to study the errors in the church. It helps our descentdment to God against error and to God against deception, because when we've seen these errors. We cannot treace what resorted in these eras. And when we see the patterns repeating, we can tell where to end. So it gives us distandments and strategic advantage to be able to see and to avoid match tw twenty four, Verse four to five. Jesus was talking to the church, and he wanted them as well. And Jesus answered and said onto them, take heed that no man. Did see you. Next verse for many are coming my name, saying I am the Christ, and shall deceive many. If you study the error of the church, more than forty percent of it is born from deception. And so when you study the errors of the church, you can you can tell the lies that the devil brought that misled the church and caused the church to plunder into error. Glory to God. Number three. Why do we study the error errors in the Church. It helps us to preserve truth and sound doctrine because when the errors are pointed out, we are able to tell that this, this, this is not of God. Glory to God. If we are going to see from scriptures this evening, how the poor Jude. Peter and the likes Ta could save fer errors in the church that today would. Help us understand what is right from what is wrong. So when we study these things, it helps us to preserve truth and sound doctrine. Secondly, what we wanted thing is they hold on to the pattern of all some teaching that you've learned from me. Hold on to it, these truths that we've showed. You, preserve it and point out the error so that others can distand them. And avoid them. Praise God. If we don't know what is. Right from what is wrong, we will be learning from our own mistakes. But now that the apostles have faithfully itemized what errors are, we are able to distinguish them, and we don't repeat them, and we cannot preserve what they've told us is right. Glory to God. Number four. Why do we study the errors of the truth. It gives us the opportunity to what to examine ourselves. It gives us the opportunity because if I'm doing something today, somebody has done it before, and it has been graded, it has been categorized. So I can be doing something wrong today and use both face to say I'm right. No, you can't say no. This thing you are doing, it was done in the church in Laudosia. It was done in the church in Ephenceus, and Jesus said this is wrong. So even though we respect you, this thing is not correct because you are not glory to go. So, if we're honest, we are examining ourselves, both as individuals and as a corporate person owner. Second Corinthians thirteen five. The Bible says to examining yourself to see whether you are still in the faith. Examining yourself. But one of the mirrors that helps you to examine yourself is the truth and the error that has been itemised in scripture. Praise God. So one or two persons now can confirm if something is right. You can come and say a child who told me? And a can you are just pasty and whispered. We have a business now for comparison. We can tell these are kings from the bit of earth, so we can now what examine ourselves. Praise God. Number five. It helps us to also maintain spiritu our health. It helps us to maintain. What spiritual our health. Revelations three verst Too, when Jesus was pointing out the error of the churches. He made a treatment that was very strong, wake up, strengthen the little that is remaining, wake up strengthy. So it will help you to stay healthy. Now that you're able to tell, you can tell how far you are falling because the parameters are clear. So when you are falling, you can tell how far you are falling. You know what to do not to fall anymore, and you know what to do to reterrace yourself. This is why it's important to study these things. We are not studying these things to show ourselves. As being perfect. Neither we've studied these things to show that the Church of Christ is in eroor. We are studying these things. To help us in the ways that I'm already enumerating here. And one of the critical reasons is that it helps you stay healthy as you're also growing as part of the body of Christ. Number six. Why do we study this It helps us to protect the church. We can understand and say no, this practice entering the church is elien. This practice, this doctor him coming into the church is wrong because the Bible has been able to point out before our generation that these things are wrong. So if we see somebody in putting it into church. Now, by the authority and veracity of pipture, we can stand and say, this is not part of what we are doing. This is not part of the Church of Jesus. By not doing the church itself. Can be protected in its sanctity so that it fulfills God's program and God's agenda. Jude one, verse three and four is the one chapter book is the beloved. When I gave all diligence to write onto you the command of the command salvation, it was needful for me to write onto you and to exhort you that you should earnestly contend for their faith, which was one delivered to the saints. Now de faith here is not the same as faith. Faith is your trust and your dependence on God. But the faith is the body of knowledge that is committed to the church as a pattern to follow. This is what Luke was thinking about in Luke Chapter one, from verse one to three. Is there for as many as I've taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration. Of those things that are most surely believed among us? Those things, so there are. Things that I'm most surely believed among us. This is what Jules that is contending for is that which I most only believed amongst. Us net verse. Even as they were delivered, Even as they delivered them onto us, which from the beginning where eyewitnesses are ministers of the world. Verse three, is that it seems good to me. Also have they had perfect understanding of all things from the very first to right onto the most excellent theopillos. So look, he is saying, they are possibles, received it, they delivered to us, and we now have perfect. Understanding, so we can deliver to the next generation. They received from Christ. They committed to the looks, and the looks are committing to the Theophilos. So every pattern, every heritage, every ordinance in the kingdom to at least last for four generations. Post that in second chapter two, verse two. Except the things that you have received from me, they form many witnesses. Except they said, commit to faithful men who shall. Be able to teach others. So if we have these kinds of teachings, who will be able to praise serve heritages at least for four generations. So these teachings are important because they help us protect and preserve the sanctity. Of the church. And then number seven, they also help us to grow in humility because those who back who we bet you have had errors, so you will no longer be arrogant to think you are something. If the any church miss it in some ways, then those of us who are have so many generations, whatever it is we are doing, when we'll do it with what humility. Because they've shown us that it is possible to air. And because they've shown us that it's possible to air, it's not the time to play blame games. Is the time to be humble so that we don't fall into the same era. First Corinthians ten versuab. The Bible said he that thinks is standing should be careful. Less he falls. He that thinks he's standing should be careful less he falls. These are some of the reasons why we study the error of the church. If we have this understanding, then the teaching will be a blessing. When we start picking out a few. Things today and addressing that it's not the time for you to start saying ahead, is this church? Is this brother? That's not? The goal is to help you grow with humility, is to help protect the church, is to help preserve our heritage glory to Jesus. This is why as we study the doctrine of the church, it's important for us to study it. And it's also important for us to study it because us there is a church. Jesus is looking forward to meeting at his return. There is a church. Jesus has a standard. You know, many times Jesus will ask questions in the Bible. They say, when the son of Man returns, we need find faith. On the head. So Jesus is expecting that when he returns, the church is coming to meet, to be a church of faith. But Jesus is already wandering. He has not left, but it's wondering if he returns, who death see be faith? Now, look at our generation today. Everything is must be factual or scientific or logical. When you start talking spiritual things or working in the corridor of faith, they look at you as though you are a fanatic. They look at you as though you are reasonable. They look at you as though you are a clown for living the faith life and the world. As we come to us, they shows that they can challenge you for doing so. So if somebody is seek can they say wants to exercise faith, they say, gets out. If somebody is trusting God to bless and advance, it is the get out. What is wrong with you? If somebody is trusting God to give him directions about destiny, they say, what are you using your brain forall the make it look like it. Says thing for you to leave the faith life. Now, we are not saying we will not walk, We are not saying we will not think. But we're also saying that though the horse is prepared for the day of battle, victory is the Lord's glory to God. We are saying that the race is not to the swift, the butt is not to the storm. It's not the Lord that showed mercy. That's what we are saying. We are saying, it's not of him that we let neither I see of him that run it glory to God. So the faith life is not what you see. If we don't look into this subject critically, we may not even be growing in the orientation that looks like the Church Jesus is coming for. Because the Church Jesus is coming for has settin parameters for reastance. I give you a few of them. Number one, the Church Jesus is coming for is the glorious church. M hmmm. I don't want this my teaching to become very low. But let's let's see Efficians five twenty five. To twenty seven. Maybe I'll be giving you one one scripture, and I will not be speaking by inspiration. So that waker, he said, how are you people laughing? Said husbands, love your wife? Even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. Next verse, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the worship of water by the word nest verus, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be they should. Be holy and without blemish. So the church Jesus is expecting to meet at this. Return is the glory of chort meaning is the church that has supernatural power. It's not a church baring of power. It's the church that still wields the authority of the spirit. That also means is the church that is cleansed from the corrupting influence of the age. Is the church that carries the character and the dna of God. And he also means is the charge that reflects the beauty and the splendor of Heaven. So when we speak of. The glorious church, is the church of supernatural power, church that carries the righteous character of God, not a church infel threaten by the word system. We are talking about a church. Also, the model's the beauties of heaven. So when you come to this church, it flourishes because it's alive. You see healthy people, you see holy brethren, Glory to God. That's the church Jesus looking it's looking forward to return into. But if we will beat that church, then. We must identify the errors that have crept into the church and see how we can shot them in our generation. Praise God. Number two, what is the church Jesus affects to meet. It's the holy Church. You saw that already Ephicials. Five twenty seven. It's the holy Churche. The church of today has no difference. With the word system. That's why the people of the world comfortably come to church, and they can the same sensation, the same feeling, the same interaction. And a drunk can be here not here, Lord help us help us persona. We paid talk God having no PROPHETI. But unfortunately a drunk can come into church and remain drunk. A drunk for five years. A phony kuetto can enter chid and remain. In fact, the phnicato will meet part not in church and people come. One is singing in Choie, one is in aushery. But they are going back home. They are not married to the same house, and they've been living together for two years. Meanwhile, all the miracle Stavisis or the prophetic services are happening, they fall under the annointing. That's not the church Jesus is looking forward to. It said, the church will be holy and without what blemish. God will help us to be that church. That's why we are sating it. Praise God. So it's the holy church. It's the church separate from the world. It's not a child that loves the words. The words system the Bible said in First John two fifteen, is a love not the world, me that the things that are in the world. Expect they that love the world. The love of the Father is not in them. If we love the world, carry our phones here now and check ninety percent of the people here. Their playlist is dominated by circular music. Their biggest pass are circular musicians who smoke weed and do all kinds of things, project profanity. The movie is the word. Eighty percent of it is dominated. With ward perversion. That's what they're watching. Movie is full of gay operations, let's pianic activities, immorality of all thoughts. And somebody is watching movies. If don't, let the children come and watch so it can corrupt the children, not you. Meanwhile, that's that's the leader of the prayer band. That's the fire mistress, hator, the fire. You will finished watching a series of ten hours dominated and choked with war. Don't and then it comes because voice is good. I've told you before. God is not looking for a good voice. Why God is an excellent God. And harmony, synchrony, alignment is important in music. It's your heart posture that sounds louder than your voice. It's who you are that rings louder than your voice. We need the Holy Churche. And when you start talking, they said, relax all use let at least of people everything judgment, judgment, judgment, judgment, You don't know judgment. Wait for the lack of fire. Praise God. So it's the Holy Chige. And if you're part of that church, you must be separated, be consecrated. The part we are called to follow is a narrow part. Now is the way that leads to life. It's a narrow path. You can't be doing everything and you say you're part of church, No you are not. It's a holy church. That's the church Jesus is looking. Forward to returning to. It's not the church that the day Jesus is coming. You are in the nights love. They say, you say you're doing brad a shower. I've told you before. If you can't hear the voice of God now, don't expect to hear aveng Jesus of descent, because it's the same way, it's the same antenna that he has God today that we hear him on that day. So any day you wake up and you call and we don't answer, know that we are gone. As we keep saying it, and you will listen. You are deathly or distandment every day with worldly movies, wordly music, em bofthy yourself. Every they said. Not of a loud You know that we say propainting there, But you sit down on table for four because you want to show that you are Billoonnea and they are talking against holy things. You are laughing in bondage to flesh. I love Comedians, some of them are my friends. But I will not go to a place that is the lead thing with profanity, because I want to satisfy flesh that should have been crucified. It's a holy child. And if we don't identify these things and pursue after them, were the same errors that were saw in the Bible. We're creeping to what we are doing. Number three, what is the church Jesus is looking forward to see, let's even read the scripture. If we transpi to any fer food, Jesus is looking forward to meeting the holy Church. He called it a church that is without blemish, and the instruments for doing it, he. Told us, is the world. That means if we preach the world, we can be holy. He thought, does that damn might test cleanser go to the previous verse. So this is not something you are doing by willpower. This is something the world is gonna walk into you. So if the church is not the Holy Child, it means we're not preaching the world. And unfortunately that's what's going on. We are preaching wisdom, wisdom. From from this age. We go to all this motivation channels and pick the same nuggets that they are teaching. And we're come to say it in charge like we are. We are deep men in this spirit, the same business principles, the same motivational speeches, that is on all motivational handles. So imfel generated by Ai. That's what we are not preaching. Why why you must your must, not your relationship because talking like wisdom and you know the whole place is pat Why because nineteen percent of those who come to Georgia bells, that's what's interesting. Talk christ talk holiness. You won't see them. And we are teaching people with so how you must buy land and save the money today because the entire years land anywhere there's land, land is profitable. Is this a realist ex seminal? That's nowhere you get land, that land. You lose value. Every land everywhere has value. It's not far from you, So somewhere is far from somewhere. It's where you live that make you think is fair? Oh God, if you need to releft lecture seem here that means a real Lestai were goo will do a sami. See I'm not against these things. I'm not saying be daft. See, if we have to do it, let's have a summit and call it economics from it kingdom economics from and then bring the experts sit down here hate. But when we come here, let's start the Christ. Let's started the works of God for Costic. I'm not saying God does not prosper you. I'm not saying God does not want you to be wise. I'm not saying we shouldn't teach wisdom. This in the Bible. I'm not against it. But don't don't charge to let go business school. This is not never last business school. Categories of relationship, categories. Of that. As good as that is. Once in the white we can touch them. I do. But if it becomes the semon. Every every some day of the year, from favor to good to not a real relationship to wisdom, for prosperity. To establishment in the land. Sometimes when you're teaching these things, then they be then us. And I'm looking at you. You know this thing so much? How what do you have? Because they know it and they're proven wit why God is residing Beloonnaas? Doc think I'm against rest loved of Biloonnaas And what's the why we touch this this. But this is not the call. We make sure in the minors so you can. I will show you the several churches before I begin. The error of the churches we look at Jesus is diagnosis of disturble churches. You will see a church that is wealthy. Jesus said they are red, chat they are naked. Number three, What church is Jesus coming for? Did we read that? Best? Let me read the So that's part of the message. Ephicients five twenty five to twenty seven. Hez that husbands love your wife, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it. Next verse, that we might sanctify. And cleanse it with the version of water. How by the world, if the world is being taught, the people will leave holy. If the people are struggling to live holy. The world is not. Touched because the word sanctifies and instead it doesn't just sanctify. See they extend to with the word sanctifies. Next verse, that he might present it to himself a glorious chord, have not having spot or wrinkle or any sort thing, but that is should be holy and without blemish. So any church where the world is taught in his sanctity. People will be holy and they will be without blemish. Because that's the church Jesus is looking forward to. Number Three's the church Jesus is looking forward to receiving. He's a faithful church. This is the Church of the Typos. Most of what we have today is transactional church. That's why you see the miracles that this is. The prophetic staff is the worship or prays Savist. They dominate the headlines because that's what brings the people. The miracle Savist gives. Them healing, deliverance and breakthrough. The prophetic staffes give them breakthrough, strategic direction for business and for life. The preys Savist tantalize their emotions because we don't even press God anymore. The moment we begin, we are all doing it's the first time selfish selfie videos. First time. That's God, the same God that they saw I'm fired like a dead man. The same God that the twenty and four elders God sit on their throat, cast their crown hell on their faces. That's the God we are worshiping now. On Instagram, and we are wondering why we are praying and bandits are not going. There's no power. As I'm talking to you now that police, I was like, I'm saying this, know that you know we are not See if the double had just thought so, don't think. This is Seth righteousness talking hell. This is God adressing us. The time has come for us to go back to the ancient patterns. What did the early chide have that without the Roman army they couldn't destroy them. They were in vinced people. They were growing stronger and stronger. Hey, pund the Church in the wilderness when they began in Egypt. The more you kill them, the more they multiplied without bleming. It's possible. A holy child. Number three, A tactful charge is a charge that is discipled. See the the difference between so winning and discipushing. In so winning, you get people to believe in Jesus. In discipleship you get people to obey Jesus. There are two different things. The God so willing is to give people with eternal life and salvation their God. Discipe puship is to transform people to become like Christ. Because you can have the life of Christ and you don't operate like Christ. That's the difference between the child of God and the son of God. A childe of God has the life of God. A son of God does not just have the life of God. He images the Father. He said, God, who have son three times and in diverse manners, speaking time past on to the Father. By the prophets, he puts one from best one to three has in this last day spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and by whom also he made the world, who being the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person, upholding all things by the world of his power. While you become a son, you immail. When they say you, they see God. And it's not something that individuals. You have, all churches you have it because the chots in Antioch are breated like that. They caught them and they called them lit to Christ. Every body was like Christ. It's a faithful chordge, a chot that is willing to die in the service of Christ. It's not this chot that if it's some miracle service, He do look at our number here. This is like one fourth or one fifth of someday service. Where are the people? So they're no prophecy, no laying on of hands, no declaration of power, no miracle, it's vibrue study. They can't come. So if you want to keep it cool, then maintain that. Start to school. So you have strangers, foreigners, mixed multitude, got that. In from time to time, or no disciples. That's why if we say let's go out for so willing tomorrow, this number will see the juce. If it's the last a veg tomorrow, the number we see the juice. If it's the least give for missions, the number we see the Jews. Because you don't have faithful men, you don't have disciples. You only have those who use God. So for them God is let dear. They are babies in the kingdom. My last boy is two years old. Any time it comes to me and said, daddy's looking for something, and the moment you give him his goune. In fact, if you give him and you said come come, he are taken off here will fight you leave me alone? He well take what it took from you and go away. If it comes back and said that he is looking for something, So the answer and I is what do you want? Because you know it's not a relationship. It doesn't care, it's just looking for something. So the moment said Daddy, I said, what do you want? And most of us that's where we are. We are stetle breath. I'm a man of faith. Every time I ask God for something, he gives me. You are a baby. God is not giving you because you have faith. God is giving you because you are a baby. And this is obligation to give you. Even though you are a reason label, He's still giving you. It doesn't mean you are his off. He's not giving you because of your faith. He's giving you because this is obligation as a father. Because you only know him as a giver. You only know him as a father. You have not known him as a king that you should save. You have not known him as a George that we were determined accountability. You have not known him as Lord and master who owns your life. So why you are a child, He will be obligator to give you if it doesn't hurt you. But you need to match out to a point where you live for him, not just him living to serve you, to bless you, rather glory to God. Have developed a new pattern for my son. Now, any time it comes to Daddy, that give me for Daddy, give me, what do they call this one. Now, lollipop, give me. I said a big hawk fast. You will see him grab me for two seconds, and the movie is so yeah, any time he comes, I said a big hop first, because he knows if he does here we do just grab for two seconds and the movies. So now I've increateed the hawk to three times, A big hop fast. There way hog, I will say a big hog again. Here we hog. I'll say a big hog again. Then I will give him something that's your don't that is not how we are. You only come there day. Oh my uncle is in the hospital. Somebody is about to die. You come to the other So it's challenges and needs that make you remember going. So that's why you are playing that player. God. We'll say, okay, your uncle will not die, but the first time that is here will begin after three days. So let's keep you praying here for three days. First is already here, but we will notice the healing after three days at least. Let's keep you here. So you are praying for three days. You are praying. You are praying God news he healed. Him the moment you say, father, But you will seed the sign after three days at least let that prayer body remain for three days. Let them hear your voice. Do in heaven. See what is all revelations three eighths. I would take time to explain all these churches. I'm just quoting few versins to give you thirty emphasis. I know thy works. Behold. I have sat before thee and open door no man that no man can short for. Thou hast lead to strength and has kept my word and has not denied my name. That's the Philadephia. Churche lead to strength. But there remain faithful. They remain faithful in revelation to tell. Jesus was speaking when he was addressing the child. He says, some of you we've been in prison for ten days. Some of you will be killed, he said, but be faithful to the end. You will receive the crown of glory. Jesus is looking for a faithful church. It's not a church that texts off at the slight text discomfort. Do you know some people leave church? This esth is not working. They comfort savage kind of church. Is this what's wrong with these people? Why it's okay to have a good environment to enjoy service. If you walk out of child because esty is not working. You are not tas wrong. You're a stranger? Is that the kind of person that would die for the witness of Christ? Now read about the early Church. No one denied his name, no one took use. What were they hearing? Why we trust God for preservation and I really trust God. We must come to a point where our degree of faithfulness begins to grow. See, some of us are so busy that we can't do douce u. Ah. When you talk, they say, ay, time, time time. Meanwhile, they've used thirty years of their life serving it bank, serving a government, serving an institution that pays them peanot at the end of the month. I'm not saying don't walk where you walk and be a platform for witness. But if you can devote that the five years of your life, when they stop them, they not, they retire. Go home, go we don't. You don't have stranger again. That's when they are not turning to God. Why it's important to work with your hands to to us that if. You don't work, done it. You must understand that Jesus says six years that's the kingdom. You have time for walk, you have time to pursue money, you have time for business, but you don't have time for God. How can you now suffer for Jesus? That's not the church. Jesus is looking forward to. Hey, call us witnesses. It's not just prutful producers. It's Matthias. The church is supposed to be a company of Matthias. Does it not surprise you why the songs of the Bond Women are spreading like whitefire. They can be pressful to dead religion go to some of the western world today, Christians can't dare pray in the public. If the governments say, hey, they are second for these people, you can't stop them. They passed the law resent in the UK. I don't know if it has been enacted that you can't pray in the public. But these people pray on the streets. Even the government knows that they. Are too wrong gay to attend to stop them. Meanwhile, they don't know where they are going to. Somebody told me that you have to pray onto your head is black because all of them will go to Hell. Is when they see that sign that they will call you up. Mean while you are serving somebody that has already gone to Hell and come back and say you won't go there while you are not it Number four, What is the church Jesus is looking for, looking forward to receiving a church that works in love? That church God loves Jesus and love one another. That's the church Jesus looking forward to. It's that in MATCHW twenty fourth twelve the love of many that works code because inniquities Alabama. But what the danger of your love works in code? First Corinthians sixteen twenty two. If you love not the Lord Jesus, you are an attend ma maranata. Why you keep saying maranata? Get the complete It's not maranata the Bible route as you are saying, come Lord. Come Lord, that's not what the Bible said. Those who don't love Jesus, they are are not terma maranata. In the temple, when a material is a cost, the priest removes it, keep it aside for the day of destruction. That's an terma maranata. It means you are a cost and you are being kept waiting for the coming of the Lord so that you are destroyed. And for Jesus is saying, those who don't love him, and those who don't work in love, they are are not Terma Maranata. I'm not coming for them. You are. In short, they have to encourage you to pray, even if you come for copporate prayer. Somebody has to be here sweating before you are able to say. I love you Jesus. So the people pray literally become performers because they need to do everything to get you to open your mouth and talk to your God. So somebody is Sometimes it looks like the Intestine is about to come out allah Allah happy before you. You now encourage him and say, yes Lord, yes Lord. Any little things that happened, you are You are keeping Mandy already. You are already gossip. You already bad biten. You get angry, you leave the fire, you get angry. You live is in me? They talk to like this. You don't love Jesus because whatever you do, you have bring onto the Lord. No body can pursue me from Torga. I have served and have served for many years. I've been accused, I've been wrongly, you know represented, I've been George several times. I remain. I remain there. I remain. You can't chase me from him. Don't love God. Jesus is coming for lovers. Those who love him improve their love by loving one another. Is that if you don't love your brother, that you say you don't love God, you are. That's the church Jesus is returning to. Number five. Jesus is returning to a church of faith things look at eighteen Help me now, if the son of Man returns sah, he finds faith upon the earth. Help me look for the scripture whether I match you or look now twenty eighth eighteen eighth. Yeah, if the. Son of Man returns, we need find faith. So we are. Jesus is coming for a church of faith, a thought that believes in him. The Bible sayf whoever comes nept to him must believe that he is, and that is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And I told you the two words used for church. One is what caught out once. The order is what belonging to the Lord. So we are not just caught out. We are caught onto the Lord. But you can not come to him if you don't believe. Whoever come back to him must believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seeking. So Jesus is coming for a church of faith. Some of us are here. We can't remember when last. We're sercise fate for anything, not for ourselves or for anybody. The moment, somebody is thinking you already s cree me. What did the doctors say? Now? I love doctors. I've taught you many times. If we did, if there were no doctors, would have died because we knew the who. We knew doctors and drugs before we knew the holy goods, before we knew anyvents from the Bible. Until tomorrow. They remain relevant. But man shall not live by bread alone. They that are born of God. They don't live after the flesh, or after the will of man, or after blood. Some of us yet, we don't. We are not talking to anybody about Jesus since we here began. How can you claim you believe in Jesus and you believe servation is real. There are people here that have not prayed for the sick in the last five years. Some of us here, we are not trusted God for our finances. We have not trusted God for our preservation. We have not trusted God for anything in the last since we remember, even the church we come to complain. You finish a powerful service and they come to you. Nothing is working, nothing is happening. I don't know what to do again. Why you are wondering Jesus is coming for a church of faith, Then Jesus is coming for a spirit field church, a church food and lead of the spirit. One is not many days from now. You shall receive the holy goes and power, and you shall be witnessed. This onto me. You are not full of the holy goosts. You can't. I told you already when we're dealing with the origin of the child. Flesh and blood. Have not reviewed this to you. My heavenly Father has reviewed this to you. It's a spirit power charge. If the church reduced to intelligence, strategy, excellence, then we have become a social organization. We have to be spirit filled, spirit lad as many as are led by the spirit Romans eight fourty. They are the sons of God. We must be a spirit field church. Why there is a place for excellence, for beauty, Why there's the place for strategy, Because we have the mind of Christ. We must be saturated and led of the spirit. Because ministreet cell is a product of the overflow of your intimacy and over running of the Holy Ghost. If there's no intimately, if there's no spirit power, what you're doing is not ministry. So Jesus is coming for a spirit field and spirit led church. And finally, Jesus is coming for a church that is watchful and expectant of his coming. Matthew twenty four forty two, Titles two thirteen Matthew twenty five forty two. Watch therefore, for you know not what hour your Lord dot com. So is those who are waiting for his coming that is coming for Titles two thirteen. Looking for that less hope and the glorious are clearing of the Great God and our safety of Jesus Christ. This is what the church is doing every day. Come Lord, Come, we want to go to. Our aon, our dispensation, the age of the church. The Bible said in that aon there will be no song is the Christ will be the light of that city. We are looking for that place where we will be one. With our Maker, where the will and the government of God we have absolute expressure. I know this is not some of you. Some of you, this is not your prayer. You're still hoping to go to Bahama island. You still want to go around the. World on a tour. This world must not end until I go to America. So your biggest prayer now is Visus. If they said Jesus come, you say a way too. I'm still young. Let me enjoy this world first. The world is not your home. You are piggling here. You and ambassad or send to represent God here. There were some Christians fear death. You we won't die. Whether they had poor God, did they blessed hope? Oh Christians? The doctor stands and just not hi, beep, you am I going to die? We don't die. We translate to glory at first from the body's friends with the Lord. Why are you afraid of meeting your meka? Are you not sure? Not days when HIV came out first, when they give get people's results, they will do a counseling session before they tell them their HIV positive. They will call you and explain to you this is not a death sentence. You know they will say this and said this moment they are how many people sweat, It's already all over there. What are you saying, doctor? Then we start sweating, start panting. People died of high deep from receiving the news than even devices itself. I'm not saying you we die, and I'm not saying rushing to death. No, we are here for an assignment. We want to be here because there is something God has committed to us. But we are not afraid of going home. We're not afraid. We are waiting for him to come. And if he chooses that we go, why not. I know ninety nine percent. Of us are possible that part of the Bible we have to. I think the other interpretations where we have Bibles call a say. Glory to God. So this is the portrait of the Church that Jesus is coming for. This is why it's important for us to look at the errors and cut them off. Because Jesus has a portrait in view, and we, by the grace of God, the power of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of the world of God, must become that portrait. Now, Jesus. Himself points out errors in the church because he warns. Those ers dealt with. And so before I go into the body collective body of the errors in the church, let me show you how Jesus deals with this subject. Because every time Jesus is dealing with the issue of Er. They are five things Jesus does, and it does it in the chronological order. Jesus does not point out Er to condemn. He points out Er to one and to redeem. And so if you studied Revelation two and. Three, you will say that Jesus dealt with five churches, and out of these five churches, seven churches. Five of them were in er, and. He wanted them and gave them what to do to come out of error. And of course he commended one because that one was not only not in er, but was doing something that was consistent with. The heart of God. So when Jesus is dealing with er in the church, and will follow the pattern, there are five things he does. Number one, he. Reveals himself first, because you cannot know eror until you know Christ. He is the standard. So if you study the seven churches in Revelation two and three, every one Jesus. Met, he revealed dimensions of himself. The reason they are in error is because they didn't know that dimension. So if we want to avoid error, we must know Christ. This is why the apostles their preoccupation is to review Christ. First. That in First. Corinthians one eighteen we preach Christ and him crucified. YOU'READ twenty three to twenty five. Exaid to the Jews is the stumbling block. To the Greek is foolishness. But to us who have been saying, whether Jew or Greek, is that Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God. They tattooed on the revelation of Christ because that's the antidote for error. So when Jesus comes to a church, the first thing he did was to reveal himself. Then when he. Reveals himself number two, he commends the church of anything good they are doing. So it's not coming to George, He's coming to redeem. Jesus will never point out error without first of all commending. See this is why this is our generation now where everybody is bantering, everybody online. It's not of this vinity because we don't review Christ, we don't commend. We just come and dear people down. And you see pride, you see vindictiveness, you see arrow gans, you see self righteousness. You see bitterness. You can literally tell that there is something between these people. There is the secret. But to going on that, they are using the order to ventilate the standard of Jesus is that Christ is revealed. First commendations are given. Then number three he. Exposes what is wrong. It doesn't begin by exposing error. Go and read Revelations two and three. Then number four. He caused them to repentance. When he shows them the error, he caused them to repentance. And then when he caused them to repentance all the ways, this is how Jesus ends it. He gives them a promise. It is done on the head of a father. He will reveal himself, he will command them, he will point out their error, he will call them to repentance, and then a one in most times attached. And then he gives them a promise. This is Jesus's orther. So it is okay to study and identify whatever is wrong, but we must of necessity follow the biplical pattern. Revelations Chapter two, verse two to three. Let's pick one. Let's begin from verse one. Onto the Angel. Of the charge of Ephiesos right this thing said he that holded the seventh starts in his right hand, who walk it in the midst of the seven. Golden limbstans, He reveals himself Verse two, I know thy walks I know thy levels and thy patience, and how thou cannot bear them which are evil. And thou hast tried them we say they. Are apostles and are not, and has found them liars commendations. He doesn't just write write us off. Next verse. Is that you are born and you have patients. For my name's sake, you have leveled, and you have not printed commendation. All these people that John John online who jogs, they just use less jobs. This that Joe. They're not talking by the spirit of God. That's not how the Holy Gost addresses the church. This is how the Holy Spirit, the Master addresses the church. So you see falling men trying to tell the church what to do because they have a podcast to do. They've not even read the Bible. Next verse, nevertheless, are used to being the pattern after commendation, I have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first law. I would take time to deal with this subject too, because this is the sensitive subject. There is somewhere to learn from here. Go back and notice what this church was doing. Notice go back to the two. See this church, this is the strong church. This is the church of distandment. This is the Church of power. This church could stand and look and to us, say you're a first prophet. They could look at you as say you my first teacher. They could look at you as say you I first. And this church was giving to kingdom label. They pray the fastest, the one souls. But they were about to be ridden off. The ones who are pointing all that out to be big. But what was the problem. The pursuit of righteousness without compassion and love turned them to become red bells against God. So if you are not careful and your primary attirement is to tell everybody they're wrong, a point will come you discover you are not fighting for God. That's why nowadays the whole idea of corropt of correction is propaganda. We are looking for things that trend. You know why you're no longer coming to the congregation and see notable miracles. You no longer coming to the congregation. And here fories of encounters. You no longer coming to the congregational and. See men who and body Christ. And because there is nothing to check the world with, we need to stey relevant by regarding controversy so that we are in the. Eye of the media. We don't love God. This kind of church is usually don't love God. This is the diagnosis of Jesus. Go back to the too read it so when you see a pattern, you can tell the error is that they have what they have label and in the Kingdom level they were they have patience and drance. They can pray for ten years for his city NonStop. They can leave for in the field for soul, so be one NonStop. That leveloy is there. They can live a fast life for twenty years, so they have patience. In the lepo of the kingdom is that Jesus said, they cannot withstand evo. They hate iniquity. But there was the problem they could this ran first teachers, first prophets, first apostles. But jeeves go said, I have something against you. In a bit to point those who are wrong. You have left me. You have lost your affection for me. So even when they are playing, the prayer is not intimacy. That's why prayer now becomes about trend. It becomes thing a thing to brag about. First thing becomes a thing to brag about. Something goes wrong. I have somewhat against you. You have left your first love and gainst what because. They don't love God. They no longer love themselves. If you enter much congregation, they are like fight fast, fighting themselves. You hear money back, biting, bitterness. They fight themselves more than they fight people outside, because that nature is what they are ventilating. You've be in trouble. No what David rights off to heave you. There's no love in that assembly because number one, they don't love God anymore. They think they are walking with God, but they are working for God, and they have left walking with God. So the error of the violation of the first law nothing that drew you to the arth. When you started. You wanted to hear the voice of the Loohim, that thing. That kept you there. You just wanted to stay in his presence. That in tackles that intimacy that you gave up everything for. It has disappeared. Next verse is said, remember. Therefore, from whence thou at falling? Are you seeing that this church is a falling church? They weren't correcting everybody. That's their rests. Cheurge Jesus said, they are falling. That's why I told you. One of the reasons why we studied the error of the churches. So that we want grow with humility. Remember there part from whence. Thou at folly and repent and do the first walk? What's the fast walk? Love, It's just a sense that you don't correct. No, he commanded them. It's just a sense that you shut down this stand man. No he commanded them. It's just a sense that you stop. No, he commanded them. But is that in doing this you have lost me. It's a repent go back to your first walk, or else I will come quickly and I will remove. I can't do stick out of his place except you repent. That's why you see many times judgmental people don't last God, church, church history. When you find a great minister, a great ministry, all of us hooting all they are doing this. You are wrong, you are fake, You are thiefs, you are Antichrist. Not too long they have to shift from Jesus because it comes with controversy. So you are nine trying to counter who who is for you and who is against you. You are trying to raise the people who will have you, to strategize to make your voice louder. You are trying to manage those who are attacking you because your heart have you. Before you know what's happening. You are on the journey of your own devices say, if you don't repent and we come quickly, I will remove your candle stick. When you see some of these our fathers, even when the correct things in meekness, in love, they've read some things, they've seen some things, they've started history. The patterns don't change. The same people who know it all correct. Every other person nobody correction. Every time you said they're wrong, they will give you five hundred live it to counter you. They've seen them disappear, not because the terns overwhelm them. Jesus remove their candlestick. It's got the error of the first law. Your heart shifts from God. That's worth. But thou hast thou hate tet the deeds of the Nickelitans, which I also hate. So you say that Jesus commenced their work, but instead that has something against you. They love component, messy forgiveness, love comparison. They don't have it impacticularly. If you repent, they must make sure you go down. That's worth Here the hat and ear is the lettin hear what the spirit. That's why I told you this is how the spirit corrects the church. What the Spirit said onto the churches, to him that overcome it, I will give to eat the tree of life, which is in the midst. Of the paradise of God. So how do you overcome by maintaining your love for God and by maintaining your love for one another? That passion, that fire of intimacy, It mustn't be lost. There was the time when everything you did you did for the glory of God. It was not about your your name. It was not about making a name for yourself. It was always about God. The dare you lose it? You are in error. These are the foundations of the errors. I'm gonna lest errors in the church for you. But these are the foundations that Jesus tagonized. I don't ever have. Time to show you this calastic perception of the seven churches, because there are three major scholastic perceptions. Some believe they were literal churches in the first century, the first Church century, all that believes each church represents different dispensation. In church history. And all that believe each church represents the spiritual state of the Church. But I don't have time for that now. NextBus and onto the Angel of the church in Smner right, this thing said the first and the last revelation of Jesus, which was dead and is alive. You will notice that each revelation on Jesus gives is an antitude for the eraror of the church, for the church in Nephasos. It's I hold the seven stars, and I walk in the midst of the limestone. It's talking love, unity and oneness. Because their problem was love shorts him that was dead but alive. The first and the last net verse, I know thy works and tribulations and poverty, but thou at rich, and I know them that blast fame. I know the BLASPHEMI of them. We say they are Jews and are not, but are of the Synagogue of Satan. Netverse far none of this of those of. Those things with thou suffer. Behold, the devil shall cut some of you into prison. That year may be tried, and that. Year shall have tribulation ten days. He said, be thou faithful onto death. I will give thee the crown of life. Now are you noticing that the commendations that Jesus was giving these judges are some of the practices that Jesus expect a healthy church to have that means a healthy church was with thestning. A healthy church must point out error and turned against evil. But why doing it? It must sustain its first flows, because if you stretch too much to the extreme, you will lose on the other side. Then, for this church is minor. Jesus was commending them for their tennacity and endurance to facing persecution. So Jesus expects us to face persecution as part of the. Gardens we wear as members of the body of Christ. Next verse no, go back, go back. One step is that. I know that was and tribunation and poverty, he said about now at rich. So this church didn't have money, but they were rich in persecution. They were rich and virus, he said. And I know they blasphemy of them. We say they are of the Jews, but I'm not so. The error of this church is blaspheming. They are sung among them that are given to blasphemy. This is the danger you face when you see people go through persecution. Many times they become champions in themselves. That's where pride come. Do you know what I've gone through? For God, I've been to prison five times. What have you suffered? For God. Now they beneath that. Because they have stood for God, anything they say is right. That's where they start creating documents, avecting them as doctrine. Anything they were God. They have a dream, they enforce its doctrine, and you can't challenge them because the few they have rank through their persecution. They now begin to treat. Their lies the word of God, and they drift into blasphemy. They begin to say things that are not consistent to scripture, and when you talk, they tell you it's not everything that's in the Bible, and they're not giving you lame examples. So the first first errors doctrin our errors into the church. These are the people, you know, people who think they have experience with God, they have work with God, they have. Subad with God. They are mostly the ones that become first tigerous because they teach from their experience. They teach from their pain. Why process is important. You must always remember to stay with the world of God because the error here all louis blast saved. Jesus says some of them were blast flamers. Nes Verse M. It's if you and dear to the end the promise I. Will give thee the crown of life. So this church had and der ms and this food for truth. But there were some among them who were last famous net Verse. Here they had, and here let him hear what the spirits. Say are turned to the churches here that overcomer shall not be hot by the second death because they have been persecuted. Jesus promises them life eternal net verse. Let's run, let's run. I'm just showing you foundations where errors come from. When there is no love for God, error comes, and that love usually dies when you become self righteous and your goal is to pick out the error of others. When there is endor rance, and you now begin to feel super important, important enough that make you feel you have authority to say things that are not in the Bible, yet you say they are correct. You begin to bring black pining into the church. You speak things that the Holy Goost does not sanction. You speak things that the world of God does not sanction, and you believe, because you have gone to prison, you have been stoned, it should be correct because of your process. That's why we keep telling people. Process is a private dealing. It's not a doctrine that God told you that you should give ninety percent of all your income for kingdom advancement does not mean giving ninety percent. Is doctrine. That God told you you. Should pray for ten hours every day for one year does not mean anybody who doesn't pray. For ten hours it's not a Christian. Don't turn your personal life, process and dealings to doctrine, because usually errors originate from process. And those of us who are persons must be careful because to a very large as, then the wisdom and the depth of as equally prophet comes from their encounters and their processes past that with the comfort we have received of the Lord, we are able to comfort orders. But you must be careful that, no matter the process you go through, let it not become the business for your theology. You must have regard for scripture. It is written, it's always superior to every encounter and every process past that we have not believed conn the device Peter Fabus. When we're spoken to you of the coming king, is that where we were eye witnessed this on the mouth we saw the highest encounter. Jesus was transfigured before us. It's able knowing this past. No profit of the scriptures of any private interpretation holy men of God's take as they were carried. That must be the priority. Even the Word of God said it is ready while he was in the wilderness in the middle of process. The fact it is ready. You came as from one small process, and not bod No scripture has authority anymore. Next verse, I don't want to dwell here. This is not my teacher. I just wanted to mention this to show you foundations of error, lack of love for Jesus, excessive. Pride in our process and our dealings. Next verse is that I have a few Oh go back, go back. No, no, no, you have moved. Go back again, go back again. One more verse And to the Angel of the Church in Pargamos, right these things there he which had the. Sharp sword and two edges, with two edges, I know that was. And we are thou dwellers, even we are certain sit is. And thou hold that's passed my name and has not denied my face, even in those days we're in antifass was my fathful Mattia who was slaved among you. We are certain dwelled. Hmm. They live in the dwelling of Seta if that. But I have a few things against them, because thou hast hast has there them that hold the doctrine of Belah, who taught Belak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat, sacrifice. This onto idols, and to commit fornication. The era of this church is what immorality? The era of this church is I don't latterly. So this was a charge giving to corruption. This was a charge that treat realizes iniquities. So the lead singer phonicate fast Or said, what is wrong with you? Do you know how important you are to this church? Don't do this again? And fast Or manages the situation and cover it because he needs that lead singer. He is popular. He needs to be on the flyer next week for the program so that people will come. He's organizing a conference. They say no, this guy is a phunny cato, but he needs crowd. So he say, ah, relaxed, why are you behaving like this? We have a program next week, but why are you be there? Be there? Be there, so they will put him on the fly alighties. He needs the stadium to be pooled, so because stadiums be pool he overlooks it. Everybody knows this guy has more repented. See the Bible says a righteous man will fall seven times seven times, he will rise again. I'm not saying I am perfect. I'm not judging anybody, but I'm telling you that when somebody is in the state. Of the four live the three first. Don't Realiz's iniquity. Because he's the biggest giver, he's the biggest partner. He can see his own thing will be covered for so the money can keep coming. He will never rebuke him. The guy gives ten million, he gives fifty millions every week. So you're here. In fact, nowadays we don't only here. We go to them. They're having an event. We know that all forms of one tombness, of forms of beneathity, we happen. But because if we stand with them, show that, to show them, if we show that we are relevant, we will go for their to their houses, go for their meetings, say it with them, and we will not speak about God. Before you caught Jesus going to the chaos, pop. You know, when Jesus left the chaos his house, he repented. You have gone to your own the chios thirty times your owners. The chaos is still living the way he's living. So who is combating who. See that. It's a craze about acceptance and about perception of relevance, and so we can accommodate. All kinds of things. I'm not saying they accused people and there with that attacking them. That's not what I'm saying. This life is public. You know this guy is giving to sodomy. You know he's not hiding it. But we'll close our eyes and relate with them because people we know we are relevant. And then we raise. A church of bailor a chorch of I do want the first, a chorch of Monicatos. Jesus. They have this against you. You have held my world, you have kept my faith. Miracles are happening. I know you're called the name of Jesus. People are saved. I know you're called the name of Jesus. The dead come back to life. But you are are commodating conicatos, and I don't at us. And you are the reason why they will not be converted. Because when somebody else comes with truth, they said, relax, are you bigger than this pastor? He comes to this house? Here, we eat together. Who do you think you are this is the erro. So when people have greed in. Their heart, they have appetize these dires, self relevant, self ungradizement, self clorification. They begin to accommodate everything. We are very diplomatic about what we say because one or two politicians come to our charge. We cannot say there's bad governors. We cannot rebuke politicians for their evil because if we said so, the senator will stop coming, the House of rest member, the governor will no longer come. So when when things. Are going wrong, when we should stand as the conscience of society to say. Hey, this government, you have failed you. We care politicians, if you don't repent the judgment of God become, we can't say it because tenatoric is on the front room. Every senatorn is automatic declaim. And what is the goal? Credibility, validation money. At the end of the day, we build a cathedra that is less with God. We're big men, so we will power down to either accommodate corruption because we want a big Cathidra. We can't stay through to power. We can't stay through to those in er Jesus said I have this against you. Next verse they say you also have them. The hold the doctrine of the nickel license, which things I hate. These guys have a lot of baggagees Velam is here, undication is here, idolat is here. The doctor what is the warning? Next verse? Repent if you will go to their wedding program, if you go to their tute friends bethday partice, if you go to house opening party and they will not repent, they will continue an immorality. And I don't atterly, don't put your credibility upon them. If they repent or ef I will come quickly, and I will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Next verse, here that hat and hear, Let him hear what the spirit said onto the churches, to him that to becomet will like give to eat of the hidden manner, And I will give him a white stone, and in that stone a new name written, which no man know it, saving him that receives it. I love the way Jesus a priest, when he rebukes, he admonishes repentance, and then he puts it from me. So it's your choice either to choose damnation or to receive the promise glory. To go next verse and onto the Angel of the church in Titeria. Right this thing said the son of God, who hurts his eyes like onto a flame of fire, his feet. Are like fine brass. Next verse, I know that works. Are using the consistency in the pattern. You know, sometimes we are so eager to rebuke and to corrent, but we don't even have the maturity to do it. Imagine the Lord first of all, reveal himself, command your works, show you your error, admonage you to repent, and show you a promise. How can that kind of person nor repent unless you really don't have an ear. I know that works and charity and service, and faith, and thy patience and thy. Walks, my God, see take not these are major issues. The Master is pointing out. Lack of love and affection, intimacy with God. These are things he's pointing out. I don't a three for nication and immorality. And then it's talking blasphemy. And then here now. Go to the next verse. Notwithstanding I have a few things against them, because that so fat, that woman Jezebel, which call let herself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants to commit for nication and to eat sacrifices onto idols. This is the church that you learn from the church in episodes. They accommodate first prophets. They accommodate propagetors of immorality. So you come to certain churches people almost dressed naked, naked, they. Says his beauty. Meanwhile, I said, when God recommended government, he said, is for beauty and for glory. So fastwards from the order, especially where they had a. Lot of female pastors. I thought one recently somebody was trying to debunk online. This cat was the it is like the length of this by suit. She wore one gown, gown. I think it's the gown'sn't this stop here? And then the war. One song something like socks black inside but transparent, and. She was talking as if she was releasing fire. Just the bear got to start churches fast. I was sleeping with them. I'm not the one saying this is what is say? It said, they seduced myself intophonication, and she called herself what So they manifest some gifts, said doctor bags, you wear something you know you are. It's a provocative tought the cop. The actually seen they are covering handkerchief, but you know what you want, you know the purpose, but we're in it. Then we are gown. Gown, God hold them like balloo. Anywhere there's a complex choice pronounced, and they said. They are as a shouldn't people do heir? And then it spoke of false prophets. They come to. Church, they moment the prophet's side and the power of God is moving. Bring ten thousand dollars, Bring one thousand dollars, Bring a. Hundred dollars a lie. They merchant died the gift of God the prophet's side for gain. There are liars, and there. Are documented evidences where in the wicked world we have people point. Accusing things that that's not what I'm saying. These ones are false. Every indicator, show indication, shows what they said. This church, that's where they gather. Have you not seen some churches where they have a program the flyer they are five people on the flyer. You know four of them are wolves. It's like this is where they gather. One minuteter invited me the other time to plead elderly minister. And I was praying about it, and I'm mentioned. To somebody that this particular person invite me to pay the no, no, no, is there all the first prophets. That's their headquarters. When they gather. You know what they talk about, women's money. God can lead you to somebody to convert the personal. I know their personal dealing. That's not what I'm dealing with. I'm talking when church becomes a den of thieves. Even them know that what they're saying is by divination, and tom don't even have the ability to see. Anything is arranged. So that they can wo glible women to bed and wo glible people to empty their pockets. And the money doesn't go for kingdom. The next thing you see them, they are flying around the world. It's living from buoyant life size. Jesus said, I have something against it. Next verse, I gave us face to repent of her punications. She repented. Not this one judgment is already past. I gave us face. She repented. Not next verse, behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit a dooctrie with her into great tribulation except the repent of their days. God he gave them a secondscience say, and now we kill her children with death. And all the churches that know that I am here. We checked the reins and the heart, and that we give on to every man according to your works. Next verse, but onto you, I say, and on to the rest in titia. As many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Saturn, My God, my God, the depth. Right some people have flown depot set and her death. I would think why some people think that we think for one week can come back. Then they plunge into the abyss. They can't recover. Their depth is deep. As they speak, I. Will put upon you none of other bodies, None other bodies next first, but that which you have already hold fast till I come. Hold fast. And here is that overcomet, and keep pet my works onto the end to him, I will give power over the nations, My God, I will give power over the nations. He is that overcomed. He's that over comed. Are you seeing the foundation of error in churche? What Jesus is dealing with you? Not just aros? This is where are the era's originat role. The foundation of error. From lack of love for God, to pride in your walks and dealings in the spirit, to accommodation of immorality and idolatry because of gain. This is what the masters itemized in here, to give in room to iniquity to thrive. All these things are the foundatons of error in the Church. So any error you find is stressable to one or two of it, either the person so evine could. Speak, or the person no longer loves God, or the person because. Of gain allows idolatry and from casual He said that one charrue with the rod of viol kah, have the vessels of a potter shade be broken into shivers. Even as I received of my father nevers, and I will give him. The morning star. Hhmm too is command. I pledge allegiance to the Lamb. I pledge honey agents. To the Lamb with all my strength, with all I have, I will seek to all. His command. Ah, my pledge Holy agents to the let's progress. The church and studies netbvers. I think that's chapter three, verst one. Now proceed, HM, can you proceed chapter three, verse one onto the Angel of the Church and studies. Right? This thing said he that had the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know that thy walks, that thou hast a name, that thou leavest and at dead. This is the dad Church nets Verse. They watch me and strengthen the things which remains that are ready to die. For I have not found thy For I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember there, for how thou hast received. And heard and holds first and repent if they have go Thous are not wor I will come on thee as they did, and thous do not know what hour I will come upon thee next. First thou hast a few names even in sadists, which have not defied their garments, And they shall. Walk in me, work with me in white, for they are worthy he that overcome it. Now notice that this charge is the dead church. Every thing of God that they have is almost lost and dead, and Jesus discussion in them. They need to remaining keep them. But what was the diagnosis? They were not watching. So this is a church that does not engage in the spirit. This is the church of strategic, church of intelligence. So they gotta technocrats, polished people, leaders who don't pray, who don't fast, leaders who don't level. In the spirit. Because the guy wants to. To present a church that looks like United Nations. Everybody is coordinated. When when they stand, you will see elegance, coordinations. Even their voice that's a baritone. Praise the Lord. You know the Lord musty dead dead. Everything is cosmetic, cosmetic Christianity. They are coming to the state. They walk like this, even they hand the jesticulation Father. No, God, Well, bless your name for how good you've been to us. He's explaining Bible, John chapter three, verse sixteen. It's talking like like like a voice couch for God, soul of the world gave his only begotten song. Whose whatever believe that in him, should not very. But I've never last in life. You know the let's prayer for three hours. No life in the spirit, no life. Everything is intelligent, cosmetic, he said. Somebody is sick, let's prayer. What they think. They will come, precious Lord God Almighty, because of the death of your son on the cross, have mercy on yourself. And when he finishes, go to the doctor. No that you to communicate nothing, No that you're not dead. I'm not saying, don't be excellent me. I am trying. I pray that God helps me to be built. I'm learning and I love it to be excellent. But if it is cosmetic church, Jesus says dead. No fire on the ottar, no spirit in your direction, no grace, no presence, no intensity. People dead spirit. With a sharp mind talking to other minds. They don't read the Bible. A pastor is pretty, a respited. He memorized the salmon on Saturday. He can memorize. They just memorize the Samo and cited. No scripture coming to his spirit. Not really, the Holy Ghost is not QUICKINNI. The whole salmon is memorized. Some sat there Stamon on Tursday. They memorized is Saturday. So when they are pretty, it's like this cosmetic strategy efficient in everything, both in the spirit. Jesus they I have that against you. I am an excellent God, but I'm not cosmetic. You have to be hooked in the spirit. It is beautiful when an excellent man has life in the spirit. Jesus say, you are a dead church. You can't find the virtues of Christ. You can't find the power of God, you can't receive the presence of God. You can't interact with the grace of God. Not things flowing from the spirit real. Everything is locked up. They are talking from their brain net verse I'm trying to round them than. The church in Philadelphia. It's the hit that had an ear. Let him hear what the Lord the Spirit said to the church, and onto the angel of the church in Philadelphia. Right, this thing is dead. He that is holy, he that is true, He that had the key of David, he that opened and no man shut it, He that shotted and no man opened it. Netverse I know thy walks. Behold, I have said before thee an open door, and no man can shut it. For dou has a lead to strength. You see them many times, the church that doesn't look. Like they're so gifted, so powerful. They're the ones that stay humble and dependent on God. The church in everts have so much strength, so much discernment, but they don't love them. And is that you have a lead to strength. But you have kept my word, and you have not denied my name. Next verse, behold, and we make them of the Synagogue of Satan. We said they are Jews and are not. But do lie. Behold. I will make them to come and worship before they diat and to know that I have loved him. So this church Jesus is the one that demonstrates strength and we couse those who oppose God to come and worship out your. Feet, mean why they don't have strength lead to strength? But dependent on God. No wonder post that we have this aircompilition, that worship God in the. Spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh. Don't there's one we're praying one of our brothers is that forget. This thing is not hard, this this energy that I have. Anyway, I got to how we shut it down. He's been shut down somewhere as we speak now, because that has kept the world of my patience. Aye, also we keep thee from the hour of temptation? Are you saying that this jog Jesus is the one doing everything for them when there's opposition? I say, how we make them bow at your feet and say how we keep you in the hour of timation. Wish have come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth. But I will keep you. Behold, I come quickly hold that fast with thou hast that no man take thy crown. They feel the Delphia Church, it doesn't seem powerful, but it was commended because this church dependent on Jesus. This church relied on Jesus. This was a humble church. This was a dependent on Jesus' kind of church. And he said, behold, I'm the one to keep you and the one to cause your enemies to bow at your feet. Is there, and now we'll deliver you from the hour of temptation that will come upon the world. Listen. Jesus commended the works of the other churches. That means Jesus expects us to have those works. But they said, disposition with which must carry that work? Brokenness, humidity is said. The sacrifices of God are a contrite heart and the broken spirit. Finally, the church in. Laudosia, they said, this one is say look who warm church? They are neither hot nor cold. God there he will reject them. You're saying, hey, something happening. Come on, come on. They are not pray, they are not fasting. And then you say, okay, this week, let's rest. Let's relax. They are not dead, they are not on fire, and they are not absolutely without fire net vers No. Before, let's set it onto the nge of the church. Let's set it. Let's have now fourteen. I think that's where Ludosia begun from onto the energy of the church. In Ludosians right these things said the immense the faithful, and through God through weakness, the beginning of creation, of the creation of God. I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor heart. I will what they work, that thou are neither called nor heart, I would work. I would thou wert cold or heart. Next verse. So then, because thou at lookewarm and neither cad nor heart, I would spew you steal. Thee out of thy mouth, out of my mouth, because thou said, I am rich, and increase with goodness, with goods, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art wretched, miserable, paul, blind and naked. Are you seeing that the harshest. The child that received the harshest interaction from Jesus is the child that. Think they are rich, we have money, we have less. Come on, I just I just bought ten thousand whatever. Forty acres of land for time billion, pride everywhere the money. As they come their God, you can't talk to them. They come to church, they can't save God. They dog. They are just there floating around and they think the world begins. An end with their account balance and fast or too he's serving them. I'm pamparing first off, with some message every every every once in a week. Hopefully the children have fun. He knows what the children by name? When need you call them to prayer? Missing even if past or come for prayer and it's not no, no, no, I understand. Are your scared? Do is that? Don't make your person send you to hello because you have money. See the way Jesus described it. Go back, go back, go back. Take note of this. Be careful they that are reach in this world. The Bible says, had that for the camera to go through the eye of the needle than for them to enter the kingdom. He said, thou are wretched, misgreable, poor, blind, naked. I might say every rich person is like this. No, but I'm saying when priority becomes money and we begin to hype those who have money to the degree that they can no longer time, they can no longer pray, they can no longer win souls, we have done them with display many times. When church begins, they're on fire. When the people start being blessed, fire goes down. And the danger is that Jesus emsels then he will reject them. That's why it's better to have your people discipled, and as they grow in discipleship, they become wealthy than to have strangers come into church and want to stop the order. Because these people when they come, they come with a lot of arrogans. The first or didn't greet me. It didn't call my name, So what's my amount of it? I wanted to help them help you. It's your name, Holy Spirit. M hm. We honor you for your level in prayer, for your level and so willing, and for your level is giving. What is Jesus you are doing it for? Because they're there, you start vamparing the wealthy. You become the loved church. All of you will look warm. Nobody's praying, nobody's pasting, nobody is walking, nobody's having. We all become big men of God. Jesus said, I will spew you out of my mouth. It's a dangerous place to be. This study is to show us the foundation of the errors in the Church. Of Jesus Christ. For the church in episodes, they didn't have their fesslove. They were sold in being judgmental. That they lost the God they were fighting for. For the church in Smynor. Of course they were faithful under pressure, but because of the many things they endeared for Jesus, they became proud. So they fell into the era of last me. They started peddling doctrines without regard for scripture. So they said what they want, They say anything they like. I know of a pastor who was persecuted, but he had so much in counteracts with God, highly respected. He woke up one day and said he went to heaven and came back, and God told him he had the permission to marry another woman. What will you say? He has gone to prison many times, and he has had many encounters with Jesus Christ. So is he r three verses of the Bible you want to use to talk to him? He has touched on so plasphemy most of the times. It's not big. Bible in literacy is pride from wars, pride from process, pride from trials. Lack of love for God many times is not because. We didn't begin loving God when God carried away in self pride, choice, and judgmental spirits by pointing out others that we forget our own relationship with God. That's the error of the church. In Ephisodes and spiner. Then Pedamos, they compromise. They accommodated adoughty, they accommodated I don't. Worshipers because of their greed and appetite. They want validation. They won't self relevance, they won't self glorification. They could use the name of God to make things happen, but they accommodated immorality. I don't worship Jesus said, they health passed to his name. They could use the name of Jesus to engenders, but they mean good around with phnicatos and gave them validation because they have the appetite to be accepted and to be perceived as relevant. That's the error of the Pegamos joy. And when you look at our churches today, you can trace this error. There are many churches today that their primary assignment is. To judge others. They don't have the love of God. So when you see any. Pattern, you know the diagnosis. There are many churches today that are full of Every time there, they keep telling you what they have suffered for Jesus, and then when you started they adopting you start saying blasphemy. They are saying a lot of things that the Bible does not sanction. But they tell you the Holy Goos told them. They have become authorities. They are equal to Scripture. If you trust many churches today you find out that for the quest of a clearly relevant they begin to mingle with the world. For nicketos, I don't let us. They are their friends. I know that the place we have got visits is the CHAOSO converting. But if we are not saying this people converted over time, it means you are not preaching to them. You're not converting them. You have mean gooed with darkness, and many times is for facebook life and perception of relevance. So sacred men lower the standards of the kingdom. And then you find the church in Titeria. They had law, they had service, they had distandment, but what was the problem? False prophets and then just the bell they create room for fornication. They accommodated fornication in the house of God, and they related and brought in false prophets to bring divination into the House of God. And then you find the church in studies, the dead Church. Very a cosmetic, very excellent, very elegant. For no life in the spirit, everything is brain. And then you find the church in Philadelphia, the only one Jesus commanded. They knew they didn't have strength, so they relied on Jesus. That's the humble one, the broken church, which is where all of us should be. And then you find the church in Laudosia, neither heart nor cold. Jesus said, we spew them out of the mouth. So the foundation of error in the church is lack of love because we become judgmental. That's number one. The foundation of error in the church. It is pride from our endeorance for Jesus resulting in blasphemy. The foundation of er in the church is compromised a commodative worldliness, immorality, and idolatry because of our fleshly appetites, appatites of validation, appetites of perception, of relevance, appetites belonging where things are happening. The foundation of error in the church Number four is our accommodation of falsehood and. Our creative platforms that allows for focehood to thrive. First profits, first teachers, first apostles, first teaching, because we don't have a stanned in conviction. So when we lack conviction, anything goes and then the foundation of error in the church. Number five is deadness. In the spirit, when we no longer engage the spirit to rise off. To receive sickness from the spirit. No more interactions in the spirit, no prayer, no firsting, no worship, no lebor in the world. And so when we come, the spirit is cut off. And because the Spirit is not there leading us, we are now operating from the senses. And then finally, the foundation of error in the church is lookwarmeness, neither heart nor cold, no definite understanding. No definite conviction. This is where all the error you see is stressful. And when next we come, we will look at where I demisee the errors and we deal with it because this is sensitive. In my study here I diagnize the errors in the church and categorize them into five. We have doctrine our errors, and we look at them. We have spiritual errors and we will. Look at them. We have moral errors and we will look at them. We have relation now or relationship errors, and we will look at them. And then we have miss three oriented errors. Us have these based errors, and we also look at them. But for tonight we have been able to through the diagnosis of the seven churches trace the six major foundations of error in the Church of Jesus. Please take time to listen to the salmon again and use it to examine yourself. For some of us here, self righteousness and judgment has made us to lose our love for God. While we are eager trying to tell every other person they are wrong. We have become rebels. We no longer have a relationship with God. That's Ephesus. For some of us, we have gone through a lot for God, but instead of seeing it as God helping us, we have not. Taken pride in the things we've gone through rule and on. The basis of it, we think we now have such ub to tell the church what to do, even when the Bible doesn't sanction it. So we have drifted into the era of blasphemy. For some of us, because of the many appetites we have for validation, for fame, for relevance, we have accommodated immorality and idolatry. We have accommodated the world system. We have accommodated falthood. So our integrity has been destroyed for former. Us because we don't have the courage to stand for truth, and because we also want to mingle. We are allowed for false profits to come in, and we are also allowed for the atmosphere. That supports iniquity to be created. Your pastor walks off to the state, have naked you feel if you talk to the person, they won't like it. Your pastor committing morality. If you talk to the person, he may go, and he may affect what we are doing. And we have created that atmosphere. And then for some of us, because we are neither hot nor cold, we have become passageway through it certain runs all these programs. And then for some of us we are dead in the spirit. We have no consecration, we have no relationship, we have no walk with God. And because we are dead in the spirit, we have fall into the rem of mental, cognitive intelligence, excellence, and cosmetic Christianity. These are the six major foundations that Jesus pointed out as he spoke to his church. And I pray that God will help us to rise above these foundations and be the Philadephia Church, although not strong, but to receive validation for Jesus and be helped by Jesus. Not to fall bow your heads co free. I am your room. To the day you met. Jesus. I am your, I am your the do as we see this parrosy. We are samine ourself. I'm doing a step examination. You're doing stuff examination your. Day, Oh Jesus, Jesus, Pus. Co seed. Father, will submit to your authority. We asked tonight that you breed upon us as the Church, both as an expression in encounter Jesus ministries and as the global body of Christ. We ask that you breed upon our generation. Breed upon the Church in this generation. It cause us to rise up by the grace and the operation of your spirit. Are both the foundations of error that will be named like that church that you desire to return to see and to receive oneto yourself, Father, granded grace in Jesus mighty name we have worshiped. Give the Lord a beg hand.
