Many Christians use the word “gospel” but don’t know what it means. Today, it is almost a religious cliché. However, in Paul’s day, using the term made a radical statement. It was a way of referring to the grace of God, the free gift that allows us to obtain right standing with Him (Romans 1:16).

>> WELCOME TO GOSPEL TRUTH
WITH ANDREW WOMMACK,
A TEACHING MINISTRY
THAT FOCUSES ON GOD’S
>> UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE AND GRACE.
>> EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER
BREATHED ON THIS PLANET KNOWS
THAT THERE IS A GOD,
THAT THEY HAVE COME SHORT
OF WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE,
AND THAT THERE IS AN IMPENDING
JUDGMENT AGAINST THEIR SINS.
THAT’S WHAT ROMANS 1:18
>> THROUGH 20 IS SAYING.
>> AND NOW, HERE’S ANDREW.
WELCOME TO OUR WEDNESDAY’S
BROADCAST OF THE GOSPEL TRUTH.
TODAY’S MY THIRD DAY
TEACHING THROUGH
THE BOOK OF ROMANS.
I JUST STARTED THIS LAST MONDAY,
AND IN TWO DAYS,
I’VE ALREADY SAID
SOME AMAZING THINGS.
OR ACT…ACTUALLY PAUL SAID
SOME AMAZING THINGS.
I’VE JUST BEEN AMPLIFYING
ON IT.
YE…I’VE LAID THE FOUNDATION
PROBABLY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE
THAT WILL BE SAID
AS WE STUDY THROUGH
THE BOOK OF ROMANS,
AND SO IF YOU’VE MISSED
ANY OF THIS,
PLEASE GET THE MATERIALS
THAT WE’RE OFFERING.
WE’VE GOT A BRAND-NEW BOOK OUT
ON THIS.
YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE
AND YOU CAN LOOK AT
THE PREVIOUS TV PROGRAMS,
THEY’RE FREE OF CHARGE,
THEY’RE ARCHIVED THERE,
AND WE’VE JUST GOT
A LOT OF MATERIAL.
I’M ALSO OFFERING
MY LIVING COMMENTARY,
WHICH IS A DIGITAL COMMENTARY
ON 25,000 PLUS VERSES
IN THE BIBLE.
OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS,
I’VE BEEN WRITING THIS,
AND I TELL YOU, IT’S POWERFUL.
AND SO WE’RE OFFERING
ALL OF THESE THINGS.
WE’LL GIVE THAT INFORMATION
AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM.
I REALLY STARTED EMPHASIZING
IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,
VERSES 16 AND 17,
THAT THE GOSPEL IS
THE POWER OF GOD
UNTO SALVATION.
I SPENT TIME DEFINING
WHAT GOSPEL IS.
IT’S NOT WHAT THE RELIGIOUS
CLICHÉ OF TODAY MEANS
WHEN YOU USE THE WORD GOSPEL.
IT’S SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO
WHAT JESUS DID ON OUR BEHALF
AND IT’S ALL AVAILABLE TO US,
NOT BASED ON OUR PERFORMANCE,
HOW HOLY WE ARE,
BUT JUST BASED ON
WHETHER WE BELIEVE
AND RECEIVE,
OR DOUBT AND DO WITHOUT.
MAN, THAT’S NEARLY TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE NEWS.
AND THE GOSPEL,
THIS GOOD NEWS ABOUT
THAT JESUS PURCHASED
EVERYTHING FOR US,
WE DON’T PURCHASE IT
BY OUR ACTIONS,
THAT’S THE POWER THAT RELEASES
NOT ONLY THE FORGIVENESS OF
SINS, BUT HEALING, DELIVERANCE,
PROSPERITY, JOY, PEACE,
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO MENTION.
ANYTHING THAT CAME
AS A RESULT OF JESUS’ SACRIFICE
FOR US IS PART OF SALVATION,
AND IT’S A SHAME
THAT THE CHURCH
HAS BROKEN SALVATION
INTO DIFFERENT SEGMENTS
AND SAYS, FORGIVENESS OF SINS
IS THE ONLY THING
THAT’S FOR EVERYBODY.
SOME PEOPLE HE
CHOOSES TO HEAL,
SOME CHOO…PEOPLE
HE CHOOSES NOT TO HEAL.
SOME PEOPLE MAY GET BLESSED
FINANCIALLY AND STUFF,
BUT THOSE ARE ADD-ONS,
THOSE AREN’T ESSENTIALS.
THAT’S NOT THE CORE
OF SALVATION.
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, IT IS.
HEALING IS JUST AS MUCH
A PART OF WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO
AS TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS.
JOY AND PEACE IS JUST
AS MUCH.
YOU NEED TO BE DELIVERED
FROM DEPRESSION,
AND THAT IS A PART OF
YOUR SALVATION JUST AS SURELY
AS YOUR FORGIVENESS OF SIN IS,
AND IT’S A MISTAKE
THAT THE CHURCH HAS MADE
TO BREAK SALVATION
INTO CATEGORIES AND SAY
ONLY THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,
THAT’S THE ONLY THING
THAT’S GUARANTEED.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS
MAYBE POSSIBLE,
BUT YOU CAN’T CLAIM IT,
YOU CAN’T STAND ON IT.
THAT’S WRONG,
AND THAT’S WHAT THESE VERSES
ARE COUNTERING.
AND YESTERDAY,
I SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME
ON ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,
VERSES 18 THROUGH 20,
WHERE IT SHOWS
THAT EVERY PERSON HAS
AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD,
FROM GOD, ON THE INSIDE OF THEM.
IT’S NOT SOMETHING
THAT THEY’RE TAUGHT.
IT’S INSIDE OF THEM.
IT’S LIKE A HOMING DEVICE.
GOD PUT A HOMING DEVICE
ON THE INSIDE OF
EVERY SINGLE PERSON
AND IF YOU WOULD JUST GET QUIET
AND THINK…
YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN
PSALMS, CHAPTER 46, VERSE 10,
BE STILL, AND KNOW
THAT I AM GOD.
IF YOU GET STILL,
THIS LITTLE HOMING DEVICE STARTS
BRINGING UP THOUGHTS LIKE,
IS THIS ALL THAT THERE IS?
AM I MADE FOR SOMETHING MORE?
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
THREE QUESTIONS THAT I BELIEVE
EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER
TAKEN A BREATH ON THIS PLANET
ASKS, AND THAT IS,
WHERE DID I COME FROM,
WHERE AM I GOING,
AND WHO MADE ALL OF THIS?
AND THOSE QUESTIONS,
EVERY PERSON, WHETHER
THEY’VE EVER BEEN TAUGHT
ANYTHING ABOUT GOD OR NOT,
THE…THEY HAVE THESE QUESTIONS,
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS
IN AN INTUITIVE WAY TO PEOPLE,
EVEN GOD’S ETERNAL POWER
AND GODHEAD,
IS WHAT VERSE 20 SAYS.
AND AT THE CLOSE OF
YESTERDAY’S PROGRAM,
I WAS SHOWING THAT
EVERY PERSON,
EVERY PERSON,
HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM.
THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THOSE
WHO SAY, WELL, WHAT ABOUT
THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER
HEARD THE GOSPEL?
HOW IS GOD GOING TO
JUDGE THEM?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS INTUITIVE
KNOWLEDGE ON
THE INSIDE OF THEM
AND HE WILL JUDGE THEM
BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE
THAT THEY HAVE.
THERE IS NO PERSON
THAT’S EVER GOING TO
STAND BEFORE GOD AND SAY,
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN
EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND I KNOW,
BUT NO, EVERY
PERSON HAS KNOWN.
EVERY PERSON THAT HAS EVER
BREATHED ON THIS PLANET KNOWS
THAT THERE IS A GOD,
THAT THEY HAVE COME SHORT OF
WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO BE,
AND THAT THERE IS
AN IMPENDING JUDGMENT
AGAINST THEIR SINS.
THAT’S WHAT ROMANS 1:18
THROUGH 20 IS SAYING,
AND I KNOW THAT THERE’S MANY
PEOPLE TODAY PROFESSING THAT,
NO, I HAVE NO CONVICTION
WHATSOEVER.
THERE’S ONE OF
TWO THINGS HAPPENING.
EITHER THEY ARE LYING
TO THEMSELVES AND TO YOU
BECAUSE I BELIEVE
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS,
AND AT A HEART LEVEL THEY KNOW,
BUT THEY’RE JUST LIVING
IN THEIR MIND.
THEY’RE PLAYING MIND GAMES
AND THEY’RE DENYING ALL OF THIS.
BUT LIKE I SAID AT THE…
YESTERDAY’S PROGRAM,
AND WHEN I WAS IN VIETNAM,
I MET A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
THAT CLAIMED TO BE ATHEIST,
BUT WHEN THE BOMBS EXPLODED,
WHEN THE BULLETS GOT TO FLYING,
EVERY ONE OF THESE ATHEISTS
WERE CRYING OUT TO GOD
FOR MERCY, THE GOD THAT THEY
SAID DIDN’T EXIST.
IN A HEART LEVEL,
PEOPLE KNOW
THAT THERE’S A GOD.
SO THAT’S ONE OPTION IS
THAT THEY ARE JUST
LYING TO THEMSELVES
AND LYING TO YOU,
OR THE SECOND OPTION IS WHAT
ROMANS, CHAPTER 1,
GOES ON TO DESCRIBE RIGHT HERE,
THAT IF A PERSON JUST
REJECTS GOD OVER AND OVER
AND OVER, GOD WILL
CONVICT THEM,
BUT IF THEY PERSIST IN THAT,
GOD WILL JUST EVENTUALLY…
THEY’LL REACH A PLACE
TO WHERE THEY’LL CROSS
THIS LINE,
AND BECAUSE THEY DON’T
LIKE TO RETAIN GOD
IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE,
GOD WILL JUST TAKE
ALL CONVICTION AWAY FROM THEM
AND THEY BECOME
WHAT THE BIBLE HERE
CALLS, REPROBATE.
THAT MEANS, BEYOND CONVICTION.
THEY HAVE HARDENED THEMSELF,
AND NOW IT MAY BE TRUE
THAT THEY’RE SAYING,
I HAVE NO CONVICTION,
BECAUSE THEY ARE REPROBATE.
THEY REJECTED THE CONVICTION
THAT THEY HAD ORIGINALLY
AND IT’S AS IT SAYS OVER IN
1 TIMOTHY, CHAPTER 4,
THAT THEY SEAR THEIR CONSCIENCE
WITH A HOT IRON.
YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT’S A PICTURE OF,
IT’S LIKE IF YOU HAD A WOUND
OR SOMETHING
AND YOU DIDN’T HAVE A WAY
TO SEW IT UP
OR SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER
TO SURGICALLY REPAIR IT,
ALL OF US HAVE PROBABLY
SEEN SOME MOVIE
WHERE SOMEBODY WAS CUT
OR SOMETHING AND THEY JUST
TAKE A HOT IRON AND THEY PUT IT
OVER THERE AND IT SEARS IT,
BURNS THEIR FLESH,
IT KILLS THE NERVES.
THEY NO LONGER CAN
FEEL ANYTHING,
BUT IT WILL SEAL THE THING UP
AND KEEP INFECTION FROM
GETTING IN THERE.
AND IT SAYS THAT YOU CAN
SEAR YOUR CONSCIENCE,
YOU CAN DEADEN IT.
YOU CAN KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE,
AND THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
TODAY WHO HAVE GONE SO FAR
THAT THEY HAVE DESTROYED
THEIR CONSCIENCE,
AND THEY MAY BE ACTUALLY SAYING
THAT THEY HAVE NO CONVICTION,
BUT IT WASN’T ALWAYS THAT WAY.
EVERYBODY STARTED OUT
WITH THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE
OF GOD ON THE INSIDE,
BUT YOU CAN SEAR IT,
YOU CAN KILL YOUR CONSCIENCE.
I BELIEVE THAT MOST OF
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
PROFESSING THAT THEY
HAVE NO CONVICTION
ABOUT THEIR LIFESTYLE
AND THE EVIL
THAT THEY’RE LIVING,
I THINK THAT THEY’RE LYING
TO THEMSELF AND TO US,
BUT IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO HAVE LITERALLY GONE SO FAR
THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE
ANY CONVICTION,
AND ONCE THAT HAPPENS,
THEY’RE DAMNED.
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM.
IT SAYS IN JOHN, CHAPTER 6,
VERSE 44, THAT NO MAN CAN
COME UNTO ME,
THIS WAS JESUS SPEAKING,
EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.
YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE,
I FOUND GOD.
GOD WASN’T THE ONE THAT LO…
WAS LOST,
AMEN.
YOU DIDN’T FIND GOD,
GOD FOUND YOU.
GOD’S BEEN KNOCKING
AT YOUR DOOR
AND TRYING TO GET
YOU TO RESPOND
TO HIM, AND SO,
GOD WAS DRAWING YOU
AND WHEN YOU GET SAVED
AND YOU SAY, I FOUND GOD,
NO, HE FOUND YOU
AND YOU FINALLY
OPENED UP THE DOOR
AND LET HIM IN.
BUT YOU CAN GET TO A PLACE
TO WHERE YOU
REJECT HIM SO MUCH
THAT HE SAYS,
IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT,
I’LL NEVER DRAW YOU AGAIN,
AND IF THAT HAPPENS,
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU
TO GET SAVED.
YOU CAN’T COME TO GOD
WHEN YOU WANT TO COME TO GOD.
YOU HAVE TO COME TO GOD
WHEN HE IS KNOCKING
ON YOUR DOOR
AND DRAWING YOU.
YOU KNOW, IN MY
HEART RIGHT NOW,
I REALLY FEEL
THERE’S SOMEBODY…
THERE’S PROBABLY MORE THAN ONE
SOMEBODY WATCHING
THIS PROGRAM,
THAT RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE
LIVED A LIFE OF REJECTION.
YOU MAY BE ONE OF THOSE
THAT’S BEEN SAYING
THERE IS NO GOD,
I FEEL NO CONVICTION.
BUT YOU KNOW AT A HEART LEVEL,
YOU KNOW THAT YOU AREN’T GOD,
YOU KNOW THAT YOU NEED GOD
AND YOU’VE BEEN REJECTING HIM.
AND RIGHT NOW
GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU
AND THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
NOW THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY,
BUT THERE’S SOME PEOPLE
WATCHING THIS
THAT THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.
IF YOU WALK AWAY TODAY
AND TURN AWAY FROM GOD,
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE
THAT HE’S GOING TO
DRAW YOU AGAIN.
AND IF HE DOES NOT DRAW YOU,
NO MAN CAN COME UNTO JESUS,
EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.
IF YOU DON’T RESPOND TODAY,
YOU ARE PUTTING
YOUR ETERNAL SOUL IN JEOPARDY.
YOU NEED TO RESPOND.
YOU KNOW, WE’VE GOT A NUMBER
ON THE SCREEN.
YOU CAN CALL, AND THERE’S PEOPLE
THAT WILL PRAY WITH YOU,
AND RIGHT NOW YOU COULD BE
BORN AGAIN.
I TELL YOU,
THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH
FOR SOME PEOPLE
WHO ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
RIGHT NOW,
AND YOU NEED TO RESPOND.
IN ROMANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 20,
AFTER HE SAID ALL OF
THESE THINGS,
HE S…HE SHOWS YOU
FOUR THINGS, FOUR PROGRESSIVE
STEPS THAT PEOPLE TAKE
AWAY FROM THIS INTUITIVE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
TO HARDEN THEIR HEART
AND TO BRING THEM TO THIS PLACE
TO WHERE THEY ARE REPROBATE.
AND SO, IT SAYS IN
ROMANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSE 21,
IT SAYS, BECAUSE THAT,
WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT
VERSES 18 THROUGH 20.
THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE
IS THERE, THEY UNDERSTAND
EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER
AND GODHEAD.
AND WHEN THEY HAD
THAT KNOWLEDGE, IT SAYS,
WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,
THEY GLORIFIED HIM NOT AS GOD,
NEITHER WERE THANKFUL;
BUT BECAME VAIN
IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS,
AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART
WAS DARKENED.
I’VE GOT AN ENTIRE SERIES
ON THIS, FIVE TEACHINGS,
THAT’S PROBABLY OVER
FIVE HOURS’ WORTH
OF TEACHING ON
THIS ONE VERSE, WHAT THIS MEANS,
TO…WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,
THEY DIDN’T GLORIFY HIM AS GOD,
THEY WEREN’T THANKFUL,
THEIR IMAGINATION BECAME VAIN,
AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART
WAS DARKENED.
I WISHED I COULD TEACH THAT,
BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD TAKE ME
FIVE WEEKS TO TEACH ON THIS
ONE VERSE.
SO I’VE GOT THIS TEACHING
ENTITLED, DISCOVER THE KEYS TO
STAYING FULL OF GOD.
THAT IS A POWERFUL TEACHING.
IF YOU WANT TO GET THAT,
YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE
AND YOU CAN GET THAT TEACHING.
BUT THIS…
WHAT THIS IS DOING IS DESCRIBING
PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY
FROM THIS TIME THAT YOU KNEW
THAT THERE WAS A GOD.
AT ONE TIME, EVERY PERSON
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
KNEW THAT THERE WAS A GOD.
YOU KNEW THAT YOU HAD TO
BE ANSWERABLE TO SOMEBODY
FOR THE WAY
THAT YOU WERE LIVING,
AND AT ONE TIME YOU KNEW THAT,
BUT YOU CAN TAKE THESE
PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY
AND IF YOU DO,
YOU BEGIN TO DEADEN YOURSELF
TO THIS CONSCIENCE,
TO THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE
OF GOD.
AND LOOK AT WHAT IT
GOES ON TO SAY.
IT SAYS, PROFESSING
THEMSELVES TO BE WISE,
THEY BECAME FOOLS.
THIS IS SO DESCRIPTIVE
OF OUR WORLD TODAY.
WE AS A WHOLE, OUR WORLD
IS CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE IGNORED GOD,
HAVE IGNORED HIS WAYS,
HAVE LEANED UNTO
THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING,
AND THEY PROFESS THEMSELF
TO BE WISE, BUT THEY’RE FOOLS.
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS…
AND I BELIEVE IT’S PSALMS 14:1
AND PSALMS 53:1,
THEY’RE BOTH IDENTICAL PASSAGES.
IT SAYS, THE FOOL HAS SAID
IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD,
AND WE’VE GOT PEOPLE
IN POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP
ALL OVER THE WORLD
WHO ARE PROFESSING
THAT THERE IS NO GOD,
AND WHETHER THEY EVEN
ACKNOWLEDGE GOD IN WORD,
IN DEEDS THEY PROFESS
THAT THERE IS NO GOD.
IT SAYS IN…
PSALMS, CHAPTER 36, VERSE 1,
THAT THE TRANSGRESSION OF
THE WICKED SAYS WITHIN MY HEART,
THAT THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD
BEFORE HIS EYES.
THE WAY THAT PEOPLE ARE LIVING
SHOWS THAT THERE IS
NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEM.
YOU KNOW, I JUST HEARD A MAN
GIVE AN OPEN REBUKE
TO PRESIDENT BIDEN,
AND HE SAID THAT BIDEN
PUT HIS HAND ON THE BIBLE
WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND SAID,
I SWEAR TO UPHOLD THESE TRUTHS
AND STUFF,
AND WITH HIS RIGHT HAND
HE SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDERS
THAT KILLS MILLIONS OF
UNBORN BABIES,
THAT MAKES TAXPAYERS
PAY FOR THAT,
THAT SENDS MEN INTO
WOMEN’S RESTROOMS,
WHO APPROVED TRANSGENDERISM
AND IS PRESSING THIS,
PUSHING IT UPON US, SO THAT EVEN
CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES
ARE GOING TO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE
IF WE DON’T ALLOW TRANSGENDERS
AND HIRE THEM AND STUFF,
AND WE COULD…COME AGAINST US.
I TELL YOU, THAT’S EVIL,
AND THEY PROFESS THEMSELVES
TO BE WISE, BUT THEY’RE FOOLS.
IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE GOD
IN WORD, BUT THEN THEY DENY HIM
IN DEED, THAT’S FOOLISH.
AND THIS IS SO DESCRIPTIVE OF
OUR WORLD.
THEY PROFESS THEMSELVES
TO BE WISE,
BUT THEY BECAME FOOLS,
AND CHANGED THE GLORY OF
THE INCORRUPTIBLE GOD
INTO THE IMAGE MADE LIKE
UNTO CORRUPTIBLE MAN,
AND TO BIRDS,
AND FOURFOOTED BEASTS,
AND CREEPING THINGS.
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT IDOLATRY.
AND ANYBODY WHO WOULD
LOOK AT SOMETHING
THAT YOU MADE,
EITHER A PIECE OF WOOD
THAT YOU CARVE
AND THEN YOU COVER IT WITH GOLD,
OR STONE THAT YOU CARVE OUT,
AND YOU FALL DOWN AND SAY
THAT’S YOUR GOD,
THAT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY FOOLISH.
AND OF COURSE,
IDOLATRY OF WORSHIPPING
AN IMAGE ISN’T AS PREVALENT
TODAY AS IT HAS BEEN
IN TIMES PAST,
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
COLOSSIANS 3:5 THAT
COVETOUSNESS
IS IDOLATRY, AND THERE’S MANY
PEOPLE IN AMERICA
AND IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
OF THIS WORLD
WHO HAVE MADE POSSESSIONS,
THINGS, THEIR GOD,
AND THAT’S IDOLATRY
AND IT’S FOOLISH.
AND IF YOU ARE PUTTING
MAKING MONEY
AND BEING SENSITIVE…
YOU’RE…YOU’RE BASICALLY BEING
BRIBED BY MONEY,
YOU WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO GET MONEY,
YOU’RE AN IDOLATER
IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,
AND YOU MAY PROFESS YOURSELF
TO BE WISE, BUT THAT’S FOOLISH,
AND THERE WILL COME A DAY
THAT YOU WILL STAND BEFORE GOD
AND YOU WON’T HAVE
YOUR FANCY CAR
AND YOUR FANCY HOUSE
AND YOUR NICE CLOTHES
AND JEWELRY AND STUFF
AND YOU’LL STAND THERE
NAKED BEFORE THE ONE
WHO YOU’VE DESPISED
AND YOU’LL HAVE TO GIVE
AN ANSWER FOR IT.
THAT’S FOOLISH.
MAN, IF YOU WERE THINKING
LONG-TERM, YOU WOULD NEVER
DO THAT.
IN VERSE 24 IT SAYS,
WHEREFORE GOD ALSO
GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS
THROUGH THE LUSTS OF
THEIR OWN HEARTS,
TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES
BETWEEN THEMSELVES.
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT
THAT THEY HAD
AN INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE,
BUT YOU CAN TAKE
PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY,
GET TO WHERE YOU DON’T PUT
THE PROPER VALUE ON GOD,
YOU AREN’T THANKFUL FOR
WHAT HE’S DONE.
YOU BEGIN TO IMAGINE
VAIN THINGS,
YOUR HEART BECOMES HARDENED,
YOU START PROFESSING
YOUR WISDOM
ABOVE GOD’S WISDOM.
AND IF YOU DO THAT,
GOD’LL LET YOU GO.
HE’S NOT GOING TO FORCE HIS WAY
UPON YOU, AND IF YOU JUST
KICK AGAINST HIM EVERY WAY
THAT YOU CAN,
YOU CAN PASS THIS POINT
OF NO RETURN
TO WHERE HE’LL SAY,
THAT’S THE PATH YOU’VE CHOSEN,
I’LL NEVER CONVICT YOU AGAIN.
THAT’S A DANGEROUS THING.
AND LOOK AT THIS,
THIS APPLIES TO OUR
SOCIETY TODAY.
IN VERSE 25, IT SAYS,
WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD
INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED
AND SERVED THE CREATURE
MORE THAN THE CREATOR,
WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER MORE.
FOR THIS CAUSE
GOD GAVE THEM UP
UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS:
FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN
DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE
INTO THAT WHICH IS
AGAINST NATURE.
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT LESBIANISM
AND IT CALLS IT
A VILE AFFECTION.
TODAY OUR SOCIETY IS SAYING,
OH NO, THIS IS NORMAL,
THIS IS NATURAL, THIS IS THE WAY
THAT GOD MADE ME.
AND IF YOU STAND UP AND SAY
THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS SIN
AND IT’S EVIL,
THEN THEY COME AGAINST YOU
AS A HOMOPHOBE,
THAT YOU’RE IN HATE SPEECH.
I’M NOT IN HATE SPEECH.
I’M TELLING YOU IT’S A SIN.
IT’S LIKE ANY OTHER SIN.
IT’S LIKE ADULTERY,
IT’S LIKE LYING,
IT’S LIKE STEALING,
IT’S LIKE MURDER.
IT’S WRONG, BUT IT CAN
BE FORGIVEN.
I LOVE PEOPLE WHO SIN.
I’VE SINNED,
AND I TURNED TO THE LORD
AND GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME
OF MY SINS.
I’M NOT SAYING
THAT GOD HATES YOU,
BUT I AM SAYING
HE HATES THAT SIN.
HE CALLS IT A VILE AFFECTION.
AND IN THE NEXT VERSE,
IT SAYS, AND LIKEWISE ALSO
THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL
USE OF THE WOMEN,
BURNED IN THEIR LUST
ONE TOWARD ANOTHER;
MEN WITH MEN
WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY,
AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES
THAT RECOMPENCE
OF THEIR ERROR,
WHICH WAS MEET.
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT
HOMOSEXUALITY BETWEEN MEN.
AND IT SAYS,
THEY RECEIVE IN THEIR FLESH
THE RECOMPENCE.
THE WORD RECOMPENCE MEANS
A PAYING BACK.
THERE’S A WAGE TO SIN.
ROMANS 6:23, THE WAGES OF SIN
IS DEATH, AND THERE’S MULTIPLE
THINGS INCLUDED HERE.
DID YOU KNOW
THAT THE HOMOSEXUALS,
THEY…THEY HAVE ALL OF THESE
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.
AIDS ORIGINALLY STARTED
IN HOMOSEXUALS.
IT’S MORPHED INTO
WHERE YOU CAN GET IT
IN MULTIPLE WAYS NOW,
BUT THAT WAS THE DOMINANT WAY
THAT IT WAS
ORIGINALLY TRANSMITTED,
AND THAT FAR OUTSTRIPPED
ANY COVID-19…
THE DEATH RATE FROM THAT,
AND YET WE DIDN’T SHUT DOWN
THE WORLD AND THE ECONOMY
OVER THAT.
THIS SAYS THAT THERE ARE
CONSEQUENCES, AND YOU RECEIVE
IN YOURSELF.
HOMOSEXUALS, LESBIANS,
THE SUICIDE RATE AMONG THEM
IS MULTIPLE TIMES GREATER
THAN AMONG HETEROSEXUALS.
THAT’S PART OF THIS RECOMPENCE
THAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT.
IT GOES ON TO SAY,
AND EVEN AS THEY DID NOT LIKE
TO RETAIN GOD
IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE,
GOD GAVE THEM OVER
UNTO A REPROBATE MIND,
TO DO THOSE THINGS
WHICH ARE NOT CONVENIENT;
BEING FILLED WITH
ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,
FORNICATION, WICKEDNESS,
COVETOUSNESS, MALICIOUSNESS;
FULL OF ENVY, MURDER, DEBATE,
DECEIT, MALIGNITY; WHISPERERS,
BACKBITERS, HATERS OF GOD,
DESPITEFUL, PROUD, BOASTERS,
INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS,
DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST LIKE
YOU’RE READING THROUGH
OUR NEWSPAPERS TODAY.
EVERY ONE OF THESE THINGS
IS ON THE MAIN HEADLINES
OF OUR PAPERS.
THIS IS IN EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS,
AND NOTICE
THAT IT LISTS BEING PROUD
AND DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS
RIGHT ALONG WITH MURDER
AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
TODAY, PRIDE IS ENSHRINED
AND PROMOTED.
MAN, I COULD SPEND
A LOT OF TIME ON
ALL OF THESE THINGS.
IT GOES ON TO SAY,
WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.
MAN, IS THIS DESCRIPTIVE OF
THINGS TODAY.
PEOPLE ARE JUST…
I…I WONDER SOMETIMES,
HOW DUMB CAN YOU GET
AND STILL BREATHE?
SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT THEY DO
THAT ARE DESTROYING
OUR SOCIETY,
THEY DON’T HAVE UNDERSTANDING.
THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DENIED
THIS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
PLACED ON THE INSIDE OF THEM
AND THEY HAVE JUST REJECTED IT
AND THEY’VE PASSED THIS POINT
OF NO RETURN
TO WHERE THEY’RE REPROBATE.
YOU KNOW, A SIMILAR THING
IS SAID OVER IN
2 THESSALONIANS, CHAPTER 2,
AND IT SAYS,
BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T RECEIVE
A LOVE OF THE TRUTH,
THEY’LL BE SENT
A STRONG DELUSION,
THAT THEY MAY BELIEVE A LIE.
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY
IN VERSE 32,
WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT
OF GOD…
AGAIN, THIS IS THE INTUITIVE
KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS PUT ON
THE INSIDE OF EVERYBODY.
THEY KNOW IT’S WRONG TO DO
THE THINGS THAT THEY’RE DOING,
BUT THEY’VE CONVINCED
THEMSELF OTHERWISE.
WHO KNOWING THE JUDGMENT
OF GOD, THAT THEY WHICH COMMIT
SUCH THINGS ARE
WORTHY OF DEATH,
NOT ONLY DO THE SAME,
BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM
THAT DO IT.
BOY, THIS IS DESCRIPTIVE OF
OUR WORLD, AND ACCORDING TO
THESE SCRIPTURES,
IT SHOWS THAT EVERYONE HAD AN
INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
AT ONE TIME,
SO THAT THEY’RE WITHOUT EXCUSE,
BUT YOU CAN TAKE
PROGRESSIVE STEPS AWAY.
YOU CAN DENY IT AND REJECT IT
AND JUST PUSH GOD AWAY,
AND EVENTUALLY REACH A PLACE
TO WHERE GOD SAYS,
ALRIGHT, IF THAT’S THE WAY
YOU WANT TO LIVE,
YOU CAN LIVE THAT WAY,
I’LL NEVER BOTHER YOU AGAIN.
AND ACCORDING TO 6:44,
IT SAYS, NO MAN CAN
COME UNTO ME,
JESUS SPEAKING,
EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW HIM.
IF GOD DOESN’T DRAW YOU,
IF GOD QUITS CONVICTING YOU
ABOUT SIN, YOU’RE DAMNED.
THERE IS NO WAY.
YOU CAN’T CHOOSE SALVATION
WHEN YOU WANT TO.
YOU HAVE TO BE DRAWN BY GOD.
I’VE HAD PEOPLE BEFORE
SAY THE WORD HOMOSEXUALITY
ISN’T EVEN USED IN SCRIPTURE,
THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING
AGAINST IT.
THAT IS IGNORANCE GONE TO SEED.
YOU KNOW, THE
WORD HOMOSEXUAL
WASN’T EVEN FIRST USED
UNTIL THE LATE 1800s.
OF COURSE IT’S NOT IN THE BIBLE,
BUT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT
HOMOSEXUALITY.
WOMEN HAVING RELATIONSHIPS
WITH WOMEN,
MEN LEAVING THE…
THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMEN
AND BURNING IN THEIR LUST
TOWARDS THE OTHER.
THIS IS TALKING
ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
AND THIS IS SAYING THAT ON
THE TRAIN THAT GOES DIRECTLY
TO HELL, HOMOSEXUALITY
IS THE LAST STOP
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE THERE.
THAT’S WHAT THIS IS SAYING.
AND I GUARANTEE YOU,
THE WAY HOMOSEXUALITY
IS BEING ENSHRINED
AND PROMOTED AND EVEN FORCED
DOWN THE THROATS OF PEOPLE,
WE’RE TEACHING IT TO OUR KIDS
IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
THAT THEY CAN ENGAGE IN
HOMOSEXUAL SEX,
AND THEY’RE TEACHING
THE TECHNIQUES IN OUR
SCHOOL SYSTEM AND STUFF…
I TELL YOU WHAT,
THIS IS THE LAST STOP.
IF WE DON’T STOP THIS,
IF WE DON’T DEAL WITH THIS,
I…I THINK THAT THERE IS
NO HOPE.
HOMOSEXUALITY IS LIKE
THE TIP OF THE SPEAR
AND IT’S WHAT SATAN IS USING
TO PENETRATE AND TO FORCE
THESE THINGS, AND IT’S UNGODLY.
THIS IS WHAT THESE VERSES
ARE SAYING, AND SO PEOPLE KNOW
THESE THINGS INTUITIVELY.
THEY CAN GET TO
A PLACE TO WHERE
THEY HARDEN THEIR
HEART SO MUCH
THAT THEY DENY IT,
BUT AT ONE TIME,
EVERYBODY KNEW THIS.
AND SO WE’RE GOING TO FOCUS…
THE REST OF THIS BOOK
IS GOING TO START FOCUSING ON
THE GOODNESS OF GOD,
BUT THERE IS A PLACE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU NEED GOD
AND THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT.
I’M OUT OF TIME TODAY,
