THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME
THROUGH THIS GOD GIVEN MESSAGE I WANT TO SHOW HOW PAUL IS WRITING THIS EPISTLE OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM TO A PEOPLE WHO WERE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE PRICELESS LIBERTY THEY POSESSED IN CHRIST FOR A LIE .
PAUL WRITES THIS EPISTLE IN A TIMELY MANNER BECAUSE THE CHURCH TODAY IS EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM.
WE WILL VENTURE OFF INTO THE LATTER OF THE FIFTH CHAPTER , WHEREAS, SO FAR, PAUL HAS BEEN SHOWING THE GALATIANS OF OPPOSITE EXTREME OF LICENSE, WHICH IS DEFINED AS IMPURITY. WHICH WILL BE THE CENTRAL THEME
TODAY.
SUBJECT
THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME
SPEAKING OF FORNICATION & ADULTERY
I LOOKED UP IN MY AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY AND
SOUGHT OUT TO DEFINE THE WORDS ADULTERY & FORNICATION:
ADULTERY = INTIMACY BETWEEN A MARRIED PERSON AND ONE OTHER THAN THE LAWFUL SPOUSE.
FORNICATION = INTINACY BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN NOT MARRIED.
IN THIS ERA WE ARE LIVING IN TODAY IT APPEARS THAT THE BEAST HAS CONVINCED MANY OF US TO BELIEVE ADULTERY IS ALRIGHT, TO BELIEVE FORNICATION IS ALRIGHT, LICENSOUSNESS IS ALRIGHT.
THAT IS THE VERY REASON WHY THE SPIRIT OF GOD ELECTED THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE MANY OF US DON’T REALIZE THAT WE POSESS THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THEREFORE ARE WARING WITH THE TEMPLE OF GOD WHICH IS THE BODY. WE HAVE IN THE CHURCH TODAY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE THIRTY AND FORTY YEARS AND JUST DON’T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE
THE TRAITS OF THE BEAST.
WE HAVE AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH TODAY BUT THE BEAST HAS THEIR MIND, THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT WHATEVER THEY DO DOES NOT MATTER JUST SO LONG AS THEY GET TO CHURCH. WE HAVE THEM HERE EVERY SUNDAY AMENEN, BUT SOON AS THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN THE BEAST IS THERE AND WE MATURE CHRISTIANS HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO PERSUADE THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT TAUGHT THEM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THEM.
WE OURSELVES HAVE DEFILED OUR BODIES WITH ACTS OF FORNICATION.
WE OURSELVES HAVE POLUTED OUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH ACTS OF ADULTERY AND WE CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHY SUZY HAS A NEW MAN EVERY WEEKEND, WHY JOHN CAN’T BE FAITHFUL TO HIS WIFE.
WE MUST EXCEPT JOHN AND SUZY ARE DOING JUST WHAT
THEY WERE TAUGHT TO DO AND WE HAVE THE ADACITY TO CLAIM
THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS OUR HOME.
SOME OF US TODAY MAY WANT TO REPENT RIGHT NOW.
I DON’T BELIEVE WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE INDIVISUALS MADE OF THREE ELEMENTS:
1) BODY
2) SOUL
3) SPIRIT
THEREFORE IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY WHATSOEVER EFFECTS THE BODY EFFECTS THE SOUL AND WHATSOEVER EFFECTS THE SOUL EFFECTS THE SPIRIT. AND WHEN YOU HAVE EFFECTED THE BODY WHICH IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD, WHEN YOU HAVE EFFECTED THE SOUL WHICH BELONGS TO GOD, WHEN YOU HAVE EFFECTED THE SPIRIT WHICH IS GOD, YOU HAVE EFFECTED GOD.
1COR 6:19 - 20 SAYS:
YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO IS IN YOU AS A GIFT FROM GOD AND THAT YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN. FOR YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE: THEREFORE, BRING GLORY TO GOD, IN YOUR OWN BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT WHICH IS GODS.
FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD, THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO CONTROL YOUR OWN BODY IN A PURE, HOLY AND HONORABLE WAY, NOT AS THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD AND ARE CONTROLLED BY THEIR PASSIONS AND LUSTS.
BUT I CAN’T GET A WITNESS.
WE TEACH AND PREACH AGAINST FORNICATION - WE TEACH AND PREACH AGAINST ADULTERY, BUT OUR SPIRITUAL INSTITUTIONS ARE ORDAINING THINGS THAT ARE BEARING THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME.
THE WORLD IS IN GREATER PARREL FROM THOSE WHO TOLERATE EVIL. THAN FROM THOSE WHO ACTIVELY COMMIT EVIL.
WE ARE SIMPLY ALLOWING THE BEAST TO SWALLOW US UP, BY
LETTING MEMBERS AMONGST US LIVE IN ADULTERY, LIVE IN
FORNICATION, LIVE IN UNCLEANESS.
CHRISTIAN FRIENDS WE NEED TO CLEAN IT UP.
EPHESIANS 5: 3 - 5 SAYS:
3) FORNICATION AND ALL UNCLEANESS OR COVETOUSNESS, LET IT NOT BE NAMED AMONGST YOU AS IS FITTING FOR SAINTS.
4) NEITHER FILTHINESS, NOR FOOLISH TALKING, NOR COURSE
JESTING, WHICH ARE NOT FITTING, BUT RATHER GIVING OF THANKS.
5) FOR THIS YOU KNOW, THAT NO FORNICATOR, UNCLEAN PERSONS, NOR COVETOUS MAN WHO IS AN IDOLATER, HAS ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
BLESS HIS NAME
I WANT TO TELL YOU TO EXAMINE YOURSELVES THIS MORNING
THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FREEDOM FROM THE BEAST.
IF YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART YOU ARE CONTENT WITH THE LIFE YOU LIVE, AND DON’T DESIRE TO CHANGE, IT IS ONLY BECAUSE YOU POSESS THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME.
I WANT TO SAY THAT THE WORKS ON THE CROSS GAVE YOU
FREEDOM FROM THE BONDAGE OF SIN.
THE CROSS HAS GIVEN YOU FREEDOM FROM THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME. IF YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS UNDER FAITH AND NOT GRACE.
I HAVE FOUND THAT THE MEDIA GROUPS AND THE MAGAZINE
PUBLICATIONS GATHER THEIR RATINGS BY PUBLIC OPINION AND THE MAJORITY OF OUR SO CALLED CHRISTIANS ARE PARTAKERS BY SUBSCRIBERS OF THE SECULAR MAGAZINES, OR THEY ARE TUNED INTO THE TELEVISION, IT MAKE YOU THINK WHAT OUR CHURCH HOMES ARE BUILT ON.
NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE ARE MEMBERS THAT SIT AMONGST US
TODAY.
I MUST ENLIGHTEN OUR CHRISTIAN FOLK.
EVERYTIME WE TURN ON RICKI LAKE,
EVERYTIME WE TURN ON JERRY SPRINGER,
EVERYTIME WE TURN ON JENNY JONES,
EVREYTIME WE BUY OUR CHILD YM MAGAZINE,
EVERYTIME WE BUY OUR CHILD VIBE,
EVERYTIME WE BUY OUR CHILD JET
EVERYTIME WE BUY GQ,
EVERYTIME WE BUY PLAYBOY,
EVERYTIME WE BUY PENTHOUSE,
EVERYTIME WE BUY COSMOPOLITAN
WE ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY GIVEN OVER TO THE BEAST
ENEMY IN - A - ME.
WE HAVE WILFULLY GIVEN OURSELVES OVER BECAUSE WE SEE IT AS ALRIGHT:
THAT AN UNMARRIED MAN HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH A
UNMARRIED WOMAN.
WE SEE IT AS ALRIGHT IF THE MARRIED MAN HAS SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH ANOTHER WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS WIFE.
WE SEE IT AS ALRIGHT IF THE MARRIED WOMAN HAS SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH ANOTHER MAN OTHER THAN HER HUSBAND.
FORNICATION AND ADULTERY IS BEING PRESENTED TO OUR
YOUTH, TO OUR WEAKER CHRISTIANS, BEING CONDONED ON THE
AIRWAVES, IN THE MAGAZINES EVEN IN OUR CHURCHES.
IT IS POTRAYED AS BEING ALRIGHT OR THE THING TO DO.
SOME OF US HERE TODAY SEE IT AS JUST THAT “ ALRIGHT “
BUT LORD FORBID FORNICATION HIT YOUR HOME, LORD FORBID ADULTERY HIT YOUR HOME. THEN IT’S NO LONGER ALRIGHT, THAT THE UNMARRIED MAN HAVING SEXUAL RELATION WITH AN UNMARRIED WOMAN HOLD A POSITION IN YOUR CHURCH.
DON’T WAIST YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR THE MARK 666 ON THE FOREHEAD OR INSIDE THE RIGHT HAND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WATCH THEM AND YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME.
YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE THAT THEY BEAR THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
WHY DON’T WE MANDATE THAT THESE THINGS NOT BE AMONGST
OUR SAINTS?
I CAN ANSWER IT FOR YOU. BECAUSE SOME OF THE SPIRITUAL INSTITUTIONS INDOCTRINATE THESE THINGS BY ALLOWING BEASTLY INDIVISUALS TO HAVE AUTHORITY IN OUR CHURCHES, AND WE SIT AROUND PRAISING THEM AS IF THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEIR LIFESTYLES. WE CONDONE THEIR FORNICATION, WE CONDONE THEIR ADULTERY, WE CONDONE THEIR UNCLEANESS. WE SIMPLY DON’T WANT TO MEET THESE ISSUES HEAD ON, BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED WHAT WE MAY LOSE. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT ALL TO GAIN. BY LETTING THEM KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAVING GRACE OF GOD.
WE LEADERS IN THESE CHURCHES ARE ASKING FOR A ONE WAY
TICKET TO HELL BY CONTINUING TO ALLOW THESE THINGS TO GO UNNOTICED.
JFK SAID: THOSE WHO DO NOTHING ARE INVITING
SHAME.
WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE ME WHEN THE WORD OF GOD SPEAKS FOR ME,SAYING:
THOSE WHO PRACTICE SUCH THINGS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
SO A WARNING TO YOU SUNDAY SAINTS, WHO MON - THRU -
SATURDAY SPEND THE WEEK SHACKED UP WITH THE GIRLFRIED,
SHACKED UP WITH THE BOYFRIEND COMMITTING EVERY
DETESTABLE ACT CONCEIVABLE. THEN SUNDAY YOU SAY:
YOU’RE WASHED
YOU’RE CLEANSED
YOU’RE SANCTIFIED FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
LOOK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM: CHECK YOURSELF
BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF PLAYING WITH GOD IS BAD FOR
YOUR HEALTH.
THAT’S WHY BALTIMORE IS NUMBER 1 IN THE NATION FOR HIV AND AIDS AND LOUISIANA’S RUNNING A GOOD RACE.
GOD IS GETTING TIRED OF US PUT ON A SHOW FOR SUNDAY.
HE’S BEGINNING TO TURN HIS FACE AGAINST US AND ALLOW THE ENEMY TO COME AGAINST US.
PLAY MON - THRU - SAT BUT KNOW THAT THE WRATH OF GOD STILL EXISTS.
SO I TELL YOU:
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAST IN OURSELVES
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAST IN OUR FAMILY.
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAST IN OUR HUSBANDS.
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAST IN OUR WIVES.
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE BEAST IN OUR CHILDREN
AND AFTER THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE BEAST- ENEMY - IN - A - ME.
OFTEN TIMES WE ARE A LITTLE TO CONCERN ABOUT OUR SOMEONE ELSES BUSINESS, FORGETTING WE HAVE OUR OWN BUSINESS TO
KNOW THAT CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
I WANT TO TELL YOU TO FREE THAT BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME.
FREE THAT BEAST FROM YOUR HOME
FREE THAT BEAST FROM YOUR MARRIAGE
FREE THAT BEAST FROM YOUR CHURCH
FREE THAT BEAST FROM YOUR MINISTRY
GIVE THAT BEAST UP FOR THE TRUTH IN GOD AND ALL HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
FREE THAT BEAST ENEMY IN - A- ME.
LOOK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SAY: I’M GOING IN FOR A TRADE IN.
TRADE YOUR LIE FOR THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD
I TELL YOU THIS MORNING
TURN - OR - BURN
I WANT TO WARN YOU ABOUT THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD:
GOD WILL GIVE YOU OVER TO ADULTERY
GOD WILL GIVE YOU OVER TO FORNICATION
GOD WILL GIVE YOU OVER TO UNCLEANESS
GOD WILL GIVE YOU OVER TO THE LUSTS OF YOUR HEART.
ROMANS 1:28 SAYS:
AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR
KNOWLEDGE, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND, TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT FITTING.
FREE THAT ENEMY IN - A - ME
ASK THE LORD FOR THE ACCESS TO GOD’S DELIVERENCE.
TO BE SAVED
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM YOUR BEAST.
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM THE SATANIC ATTACKS ON YOUR HOME.
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM FORNICATION.
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM ADULTERY.
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM UNCLEANESS.
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM YOUR SIN SICKNESS
A DELIVERENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOU FROM THE BEAST ENEMY IN - A - ME
CLOSING
ISAIAH 53 SAYS:
HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS
BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
AND THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS LAID UPON HIM
AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
SOME OF US HERE TODAY DON’T WANT TO HERE THIS.
BUT I MUST TELL YOU THE MOST DISGRACEFUL AND TRAGIC
PROBLEM IS SILENCE.
WE MUST SPEAK UP AND ACT OUT NOT JUST FOR THE CHURCH BUT FOR OURSELVES.
I SAY THIS MORNING WE HAVE TO STAND UP:
STAND UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
STAND UP FOR TRUTH
STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
STAND UP FOR WHAT IS GOOD
STAND FOR WHAT IS HONORABLE UNTO THE LORD THY GOD.
WE JUST NEED TO STAND
