Protecting Yourself Against False Teachings Or Prophets

Sermon notes: 1/2/2013

• If your walking down the street and someone stops you and says what is grace?
• How many can give them an answer?
• Grace in a way can be described as Unmerited favor, unmerited meaning even if you deserve it or not.
•An issue which is becoming increasingly destructive.
•Would you consider yourself as a person obeying god In every area of your live?
•Do you see and acknowledge that god is the source of every blessing that comes your way?
•Remembering that everything come and came from him
•Would you say your being obedient with your money
•If your not giving him 10% of your income, what are you doing with the rest?
•Not because he needs it but because he wants you to trust him.
•When a person Is disobedient with their finances your limiting his blessing upon you.
•It's a matter of trust.
•What re you doing with gods money that he requires of you, that is limiting gods blessing
•Partial obedience is disobedience.
• you don't want to just give god something, obedience is obedience
• one day you will Stand before god and if thats the life you led he will say this is what i planned for you but here's what I can give you because you didn't trust me.
• you want to travel gods path that he has planned to gain his best.
• it's not about giving to the church, or giving the pastor money is about obedience with god. He says to give him 10% of your income.
• when you obey him you don't have to ask.
• it begins with the church staff members then the community that makes up the church.
• we don't stop to think about how god is blessing people around the world that we will never meet.
• why not be obedient to god and watch and see what he can do in your life
•Instead of taking what belong to him and spending it on something that won't reward you.
• give him your best and what he requires and watch him work.
• if someone says I don't believe that or i dont believe him, know that god tells the truth all the time and will not contradict himself

• The gospel gives us insight into who god is and what he is like and it also helps us see life at its very best
•through the gospel we can have power over sins that challenge our life, we do not have to be afraid of death or what is going to happen once we die.
•the gospel gives us hope,peace, joy and confidence.
• satan tried his best to discourage us from reading the bible.
• satan is doing his best to divide and to get people to believe Jesus was not the messiah
• when Jesus came to the cross and laid his life willingly, it was the gospel very much alive
• one day you will regret that you rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• the gates of hell will not be able to with stand the unslaughht of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

• what part does the gospel of Jesus Christ has in your life?
Do you believe that Jesus is The way or a way to salvation?
• the bible says that he is the way and no one comes to the father if not by him.
• some people want to change it but the gospel needs not any adjustment.

£ Exposing false teachers £
• 2nd Peter 1:20
• 2nd Peter 2: 1-3
• Jeremiah 1:4
• how do we detect false prophet and defend ourselves against them?
• what is the message of a false prophet?
• that there are more then one way to be safe
• false doctrine
• 1st Timothy 4:1
• when your conscience is no longer there, you have no feeling or desire for all mighty god.
• false prophets always have new ideas.
• they distort the truth.
• if you listen to them carefully it is not the truth of the gospel it is something they have fabricated to teach the gospel.
• it appears they know something we don't know and we believe them
• but god is not with them
• if you know the truth of the scripture you can then identify that which is not true
• you have a right to believe whatever you want but when you choose to believe false doctrine it's destructive
•when someone hurts us god says to be forgiving and turn the other cheek, to treat them as our brother .
•identify false prophets by the path their message leads
• don't be permissive.
• if anyone comes to you and does not bring the truth of the gospel or want to tell you something different then what the word of god says, do not receive them into your house or give them a greeting you must close your door upon them
• if you saw a rattle snake coiled up and ready to attack would you think its a good time to be kind?
• every time you hear a message that doubts that Jesus Christ is the son of god or the only way, shut it down since its false
• you can believe what you want to, you can go to hell if you choose
• false teachers drive people away from god
• do you know what you believe about Jesus?
• if someone asked do you believe that the son of god is the Jesus Christ, what would you say?
• if you believe otherwise then your either saying Jesus is a lier, is either that or you believe what he says.
• Jesus says he is the way the truth and the light and no one comes to the father if not by him.
• when you do not believe the word of god what is the basis of your belief systems?
• everyone has a belief system
• what is the basis of your belief system, what is the bottom line?
• if its feeling popularity or fear of rejection then you don't have a belief system because those things change
• and those people whose beliefs system are based upon these things are easy to deceive
• if someone says the bible has errors it means they don't like what the bible says about a certain subject.
• bible exposes the disobedience of someone who claims to follow god as well as those who don't
• if you follow a false doctrine then god it's not going to meet your needs.
• your living by a message thats not true
• some people say if your a good person you'll get to heaven, no you have to be born again (baptize) and accept jesus as your true and only savior, being a good person is not all.
Because if your a true follower of Christ you will follow his way and his holy word, you will try not do wrong since it is not pleasing to god.
• you can't pick and choose from the bible
• no one who truly believes in god has ever said this works this doesn't (from the bible) , it works because it comes from god
• it's not the church is the word of god
• you want to attend a church that teaches from the bible, the living word of god.
• let's say your sicken to death and you know your going to die, and that you have no faith because someone told you the bible is full of errors so you have no faith.
• if you do not know the word of god there will come a time where all the unbelief is going to come and stare at you in the face and you won't have anything to stand on.
• there is a moral danger on not believing the word of god.
• it is destructive and against the word of the living god he makes it clear to us what is legitimate and what it's not, what it's of him and what is not
• you know of today but not tomorrow
• if you lead this lifestyle your going to have to face god on the basis of what? Your disbelief?
* • 1 Timothy 4: 1
• Peter and Paul warn us of these things
• Do you know what you believe?
• do you live by what you believe?
• people who don't believe the works of god live a whole different lifestyle
• they are very divisive and are out to divide a croup of people, and other time very charismatic maybe very good looking and impressive
£ - It's not what you wear and what you own, it's who you are -
• it's something inside of you
• people drink wine and say well Jesus drank wine.
• he didn't drink it for the reason you did and it was a different time thy dint have the drinks you have.
• false teachers are always drawing people to themselves not to god.
• if you don't believe the bible, (the truth) the devil will lie to you
• he, the devil, always says a little bit of this won't hurt anybody
• how much of Arsenic or snake venom is okay?
• be careful who you listen to and what you hear
• when a pastor stands up an closes the bible, leave.
• the bible symbolizes the word of god.
• or if he says he will teach or preach in 20 minutes because he has to go to lunch or whatever reason in 20 seconds you must be out of there
•because he is depriving the people of what they need most which is the truth
• nothing Is more important then that
• we live out what we believe
• you can detect a false teacher by observing those who fall
• they have no peace, assurance, a belief system that's not based on the word of god, there is something missing within them.
• and usually what they want to prove is that their right and your wrong.
• they abandon the truth and go after something that is void and leaves them helpless.
• The professor who told the students to write Jesus in a piece of paper and then told his students to step On it
• what would your son or daughter have done?
• would they of stepped on it or would they of stand up for Jesus Christ?
• this is a generation of feeling.
• I like the music it makes me feel good, that person makes me feel good, etc…
• there living like the Devil, they are living in sin because it makes them feel good
• where does the word of god fit in your life?
• is it something you ignore when your in sin, or turn to when your feeling down, or joyful?
• it should be right up front.
• there should never be a time where you think you have the word of god down because the devil will attack you.
• he will attack regardless but the difference is made when your prepared to stand against him
• the word of god should be the basis of your belief system
• challenge anyone in the world to teach a message more powerful then the word of god.
• when you know what you believe you have within you the living most powerful Holy Spirit.
• learn to refuse false doctrine
•be on guard about false doctrine
• listen with an ear of openness yet sensitive to any error.
• separate your self completely from false teachers.
• 2 John 7:11
• many people say my family has gone to that church so I have to, no you don't. if their not teaching the word of god you need to leave.
• you are responsible to defend the word of god and to defend the truth
• are you a Christian?
•what is the basis of your beliefs that show that you are a Christian?
• would you say that you go to church and do everything good so that makes you a Christian?
• if you were going to meet Jesus tomorrow what would you tell him as a reason as to why you should get to heaven
• one of these days your going to die and would have to give an account for all you have done
• does it make it a reason that I live
• when your walking upon the gospel you will have an impact on those around you no matter where you are.

So all in all …
How do we detect a false prophet
-By their message
ex. "You can get to Heaven by good works. Getting baptized or being generous".
Ex. "It's good to drink if you don't do anything stupid. Its okay to be lustful if you dont take it to the next degree".
• By the pathway their message leads
-if someone denies that Jesus Christ is the way the way the truth and the life and the son of God that
Person is the antichrist and do not invite then into your home. All they want to do is feed the false doctrine.
• not believing that Jesus Christ is the son of god but believe that he is a prophet then you are calling him a liar. It is a contradiction
• by the lifestyle they live by observing those who follow them
•How do we protect ourselves from those people? Read the word of god and learn to refuse false doctrine. • Be in guard against false doctrine.
•It takes more faith for you to believe there is not a god then that there is one.
• if you never trusted Jesus as your savior we plead for you to do it.
• May god bless you all, seek the word of god and may you be safe by his grace.
• all it takes is for you to repent and accept The Lord Jesus Christ as your one true and only savior.

God loves us all and don't let anyone tell you any different. He loves the sinner what he hates is the sin.
