three tonight how many remember we started about the circles and then last week we talked about how to interpret the scriptures with partis so forth and so on tonight we're going to continue through the upward Journey now Revelation 12:9 I'll read these first few scriptures and then we'll start let's all stand for the reading of God's holy word so glad to have our Bishop sister Kendrick with us tonight we love our Bishop we love the Elder senior sister (00:38) first lady praise the Lord hallelujah hallelujah we thank God for our covering here we thank God for their prayers we thank God for the prayers of our leaders praise God where would we be without them amen hallu Revelations 12 and9 and the Great Dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceives a few people world how many does Satan deceive everybody say it again now say it like the ghetto everybody everybody [Applause] everybody Satan has deceived everybody on your street right and I'm going to say something now probably everybody in your (01:45) [Applause] family your Bible said the whole world's deceived that's right that's right now tonight God told me to preach and teach our people how not to be deceived amen H listen deception is not something that might come your way it's something that will come your way you better be prepared to be delivered from deception and tonight that's what I'm teaching how to be delivered from deception how many in this room it's your prayer don't want to be deceived I don't want de if Satan has deceived the whole world (02:36) you live in that world don't you what does that mean at one time you were deceived you were born deceived you lived your life deceived Hallelujah let's go to Ezekiel chapter 44 verse 23 and I'll read that one Ezekiel 44 and 23 tonight I believe the lesson we're going to teach you will forever keep you walking in the place you're supposed to walk in with God Ezekiel 44 and verse 23 now what I'm going to read to you is the job of a Preacher yeah when whenever you think about what the job of a Preacher is we normally think someone that visits the (03:35) hospital someone that dedicates the babies yes sir someone that prays for the sick someone that comes and visits you when you skip church three times because you want a visit from the preacher oh hello well I know if I skip three services he'll come visit me that's the way we grew up yes praise the Lord for that so that's the job of a preacher supposedly but I'm going to show you what Yahweh Our God said that the job of the man of God is this is his only job and they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the (04:21) profane yes and will cause them to [Music] discern between between the unclean and the clean on that's my job see some preachers because they're on payroll they think it's their job to get people to like them if you haven't figured that out I could care less I don't care if anybody likes me I'll answer to Yahweh one day if I taught you the difference somebody say the [Applause] difference have you ever heard somebody asked you this question well what's the difference my job's to teach you the difference your job's to know the difference and my job is to teach you how to (05:12) discern and once you learn to deser that's right you become an enemy to hell because you can see through the junk let's go to the book of Acts 3: 21 the book of Acts 3: 21 woo Hallelujah this is my favorite Church to preach in I don't even like preaching nowhere else cuz I don't know what to preach when I get there cuz they don't know how to take me praise God I love coming home and preaching I go in other churches and preach and they're like what' he say verse 19 Acts chapter 3 repent therefore and be (06:08) changed it didn't say repent it says and be changed that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord and He Shall send Jesus Christ which before was preached unto you whom the heavens must receive until my God the times of the restoring of all things yes praise do you know what that verse just said Heaven is holding Jesus back the heavens must receive him hold him back he's like a horse ready to come out of the barn but the heavens Yahweh the the heavens are holding him back literally till a certain (07:08) time the time of what restoring of all things rest that's why when people ask you this question what do y'all think you know my why y'all got to know all that we didn't have to know all that because you weren't living in the restoration of all things but God is restoring everything that the enemy stole from the church throughout the years it's all being restored in our day not yesterday not in their day this is the time of the restoration of everything he's restoring true baptism he's restoring the name he's restoring the Sabbath he's restoring the (07:57) Commandments he's restoring everything that the enemy took out and tonight I want to teach you Discerning the deception Discerning the deception you may be seated now I'm going to need you to pay close attention while I build this little Foundation tonight most deceived people do not know their deceive right there is a duality that you will deal with in your walk with God every day you will deal with one or two forces good and evil yes sir how many in your life you've ever experienced evil yes how many of you has experienced good (08:46) well the job of the end time church will not be to discern between good and evil now now I'm fixing a load of Truth by bomb on you be ready the church that you're a part of today we're not being called to discern between good and evil pretty much everybody knows it's evil to kill somebody right it don't take anybody walking in the spirit to discern you don't steal from somebody that's evil pretty much everybody can discern that correct you're being called in the end time to discern the difference but between good and (09:36) good come on yeah see see mankind is good okay yeah we mow our neighbors yards come on we raise a little offering for the Morgans if they need to go somewhere that's good things right on yeah we like to go down to the soup kitchen and volunteer that's a good thing right oh I want you to hear what I'm goingon to teach you tonight you're living in an age where everybody's favorite line when you're talking to them about why they need to sell out to God okay or why they need to keep the Sabbath or why they need to (10:24) come to the house of God or why and and and I love their response well I'm a good person that's right right I'm a good person I don't kick dogs I don't steal I'm are you telling me I'm not a good person come on your job's coming today to discern the difference between good and good God's not calling anybody in this room to be good he's calling you to know the difference between good and holy good ain't holy good ain't holy right see we're living in an age where mankind wants to be good but don't nobody want to be holy you better learn the difference (11:26) [Applause] see your neighbor comes says could you give I broke down could you help me oh yeah see and then you go home feeling so good about yourself you did something good the whole time robbing God of his tithe making you Unholy all of your good just went down the [Music] drain see God's good and man's good don't compare and all your neighbors are good folk yes sir but they may not be holy folk yes sir and see we're being called now into the final Church age to come out of just being good and move in to a totally sold out life uh to God uh being (12:19) holy we don't want good uh we want to be holy that's right amen amen amen let's start working this thing Matthew 19-1 17 get your a microphone hold on I want this to be heard on the camera around the world because everybody's good everybody watching me on YouTube you're good I know you're good and as a matter of fact if I try to tell you that you're not living for God like you ought to the first thing you say is but I'm a good person that's right well honey if you're a rebellious person you ain't good that's right that's right amen let's read but he said to him why do you (13:06) question me about righteousness there is only one who is the standard of perfection and that is Yahweh so I if you would enter into life keep the laws of Yahweh now this gentleman came up to yua and called him good Master do you know what he said to him there's nobody good that's right but Yahweh so when somebody says I'm a good person baby don't be deceived that's it ain't nothing about you good yeah see there's a human good and there's a holy good you better learn the difference because ladies and gentlemen Jesus said to them (13:47) not one of you your goodness does not match up to what my father calls good good is not the same as obedient say one more time good is not the same as obedient you can be good all you want to but if you're not obedient to every bit of the word of God you have a false goodness you have a false goodness it's a goodness that will not workall well we out here feeding the hungry that's good where were you on the holy Sabbath what' you say doing their own thing but they good people I hope you're going to follow me through this tonight see God don't want one of you in this room to be good he wants you to come to a higher place that's called holy (14:48) unacceptable unto God hallelujah hly yes brother V so you're telling me not to help folks let me tell you something let me tell you doing good is almost like a little drug come on it really is well I did something good to help them baby you did it for your little high okay that's just a fact well I went down there and I fed the hungry and now you telling everybody about it you know why because it gave you a high now there is a way to help people but it's not so that you can get the high off of it it's because you're so much like your father (15:29) that you can't help but to help it comes from a higher source than your need to feel good about [Applause] yourself Hallelujah we got some folks they will do good because it makes them feel good that's it you know I did something good but I want to say this to everybody here tonight God's pulling a people together today that's moving beyond good they're moving into complete obedience to God Isaiah 64 and6 let us read it shall we but we are all like one who is unclean and all our righteousness are as filthy rags we all fade as a leaf and (16:20) our iniquities like the wind will take us away oh yeah did you hear it I'm a good person you know what God just said about Good People good people are filthy rags to me true let the word go be true my word I volunteered for the Salvation Army but did you kneel down in prayer this morning and submit your life to the will of God did you obey him in every area then what you did stinks to God that's right he said your good works when I look at them I see them as old tattered garments because you're trying to use your good works as your salvation but (17:10) until you become holy I don't want nothing to do with [Applause] you I work down at the homeless shelter but did you pay your tithe my word I do this I do that but where were you were you in your prayer this morning was you telling the Lord without you I'm nothing H without you I'll fail without you I'm helpless help me Holy Ghost I don't want to be good want to be holy I don't want to be good I want to be holy Hallelujah to be holy I need a helper that's right to be good I don't need no help see oh yeah let me show you the difference in good and holy come on good is when brother Ricky calls me to come help pull (18:06) him out the ditch yeah see that that that's good I wouldn't helped him but holy is when my enemy says can you help me out of the ditch [Applause] it to do it right we talking about a whole new level we talking about a whole new level yes sir God's W to bring us to that's it the heart of the Father God only accepts one level of good it's called Holiness that's right now I want you to read with me Genesis chapter 2 verse 9 and tonight I'm starting I'm going to give you the revelation of what you need not to ever (18:52) be deceived Genesis 2 and9 and out of the ground Yahweh made every tree grow that is Pleasant to the sight and desirable for food the tree of life was in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of righteousness and evil was in the midst of also all right I won't uh bring that back up for me brother I want everybody to pay attention to this screen just move your mouse it should pop up I want everybody to look at this this the scariest picture you'll ever look at why is this picture scary your whole Bible your entire Bible is about these two (19:33) trees that's right I want to show you what's so scary about these two trees you can't tell the difference right ain't that the truth they look alike they smell alike they have church just alike come on I need you to walk with me now they're identical that's right and yet in their substance they are totally different but you can't tell them by you can't tell it by looking at them you can't even tell it by smelling it they all smell like an oak tree these two trees God said the whole Bible is about these two trees I'm going (20:19) to show you today where your Bible starts with that tree and ends with that tree it does and until you begin to I want every just Susan I want everybody to look at this picture this picture is the purpose of our ministry here at first harvest okay if you don't get the understanding of the two trees or the two kingdoms or the two gospels that's right or the two Christ uhhuh shall I continue yes the whole Bible is about the trees the two trees I want you to always remember that that those two trees represent two paths two choices two ways of (21:10) life and the sad thing about it without discernment you don't know which one is the tree of life or which one is the tree of death because they preach just alike oh yes Lord these are called the twin spirits of the church uhhuh from these two trees now let's follow it even further let's go over to Cain and Abel what was Cain and Abel they were both worshippers of God that's right what was Cain doing that day bringing an offering to Yahweh he was headed to church yeah the church Abel was headed to church mhm two trees here (22:04) they are Cain and Abel that's watch them two trees twin brothers couldn't tell the difference between them that's right I'm going to teach you tonight how to discern the difference help us now let's follow them Spirits let's go over we see little ishmail and Isaac uhhuh same family ate at the same table right but totally different uhhuh follow it on down to Jesus Christ and Judas ascarot uhhuh two twin Spirits sitting at the same communion table uhhuh together come on now yeah Judas was eating the body (22:51) and drinking the blood yes he did but totally different yeah everyone better understand in this church tonight these two trees is the great deception that is in the world today yes sir the first tree on the left we're going to name that the true tree yeah the tree of life we're going but we're going to call it the true tree that's it why because what does a tree do it gives life fruit that it does what do we do with a tree we build houses with them we get shade and we eat their fruit a true tree produces life yes okay so the tree (23:39) on the left is the true tree now the Hebrew word the tree of life is the Hebrew word sheay CH h a y here's what it means to live it means to live or to remain alive to revive from sickness and death so this tree on the left if you eat from it you will remain alive yes okay let's keep that in our mind when we eat of that tree we remain alive because it is the tree of life let's read Psalms 119 25- 28 Our Lives cing to the Dust restore us to life according to your law we have declared our ways recounting our grief (24:33) to you and you listen to us teach us your statutes make us understand the way of your precepts and we will meditate upon and talk of your wondrous Works yes our souls melt weeping away from heaviness and sorrow strengthen us and lift us up according to your word the law and the Propet every one of those Quicken us Lift us up is the Hebrew word sheay in every one of those places Quicken us Lift us up we're because he said we're dying but when shade comes into our life it brings us life and then he said that Shay is the Commandments of (25:16) God your precepts obedience to your Commandments is Shay it is life it is the tree of life I want to say this to everyone here today if you're in a church that's preaching that the Commandments of God have been done away with they are feeding you from the Tree of death uh believe what I just told [Music] [Applause] you according to Psalms if I won't life I need his precepts I need to live how he told me to live that's right go to John 6 and33 and tell me where this life comes from listen carefully for the bread of Yahweh is he (26:10) who came down out of Yahweh and gives life to the world he gives what life but he came down listen to me y'all but when he spoke he spoke what was back in that Old Testament he spoke life spoke how could he come speaking life when all he spoke was the Old Testament if the old testament's been done away and only brings death does anybody following me he brought life when man rejected the tree on the left which Adam did he rejected access to the depth of that life or the Abundant Life he rejected access to that Abundant Life so I want you to think of (27:02) this Adam now and his progeny have no access not to the tree but to the life that was in the tree yes every one of them are dead men walking only a few of them did God give them his holy spirit throughout the Old Testament David was one of them right David said take not thy Holy Spirit from me that's why I laugh when people say the Holy Spirit only came in the New Testament you don't know what you're talking about it was the Holy Spirit that breathed on the water and created everything okay the Holy Spirit breathed on the water and God gave a few men the Holy Spirit do you know who he gave the Holy Spirit to (27:51) in the Old Testament those that loved his law yeah right that's right those that love to obey him now read Genesis 3 and 24 so he drove out the man and he placed Cher at the east of theard Sword turned every did you hear that the way back to life was impossible for you the way back to life was impossible for you it was impossible you could not get there right without access to this way of life this truth of obedience to God man has no access to life now what is the only way that you and I can get back to life (28:45) the answer is in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 53-54 every one of us were dead men walking that's right we had no access to the Tree of Life read brother 1 Corinthians 15 53-54 for this corruptible must put on incorrupt all right so you're dead right this corruption you're dead but if you want life you have to put on the opposite of death read and this Mortal must put on this dying must put on living read so when this corruptible will have put on incorruption and this Mortal will have put on immortality then will be brought to pass the the saying that is written (29:36) death is swallowed up now see until you start putting on immortality you're dead now when do we start putting on immortality when you put inside of you the seed of immortality which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is the word of God uh the moment the seed from the Tree of Life drops inside of you the tree starts growing in your life again you're putting on life Hallelujah there's a tree growing in me right oh yes what does a tree do it gives you seed you take the fruit of a tree you get the seed out you plant it you get another tree H when the seed of (30:31) the Holy Ghost uh came into you uh that seed uh from the Tree of Life H dropped inside of you and we watered it with the word of God and there's a tree growing in me hall hallelujah hallelujah prise the Lord the tree of life is rooted in you sh everything that was in that first tree is now in you because the tree is the true tree of God and now when you receive the Holy Spirit what drops inside of you is not listen carefully is not the fruit of that tree because you have to develop that but it's the root of that tree (31:28) that's planted in your spirit mind when you're baptized in the water when the Holy Spirit comes upon you the seed is dropped by the bird of Heaven that Speckled Bird he drops that seed of life inside of you and then all of a sudden where you were dead you start feeling alive in the spirit what God is doing now is planting the trees Hallelujah he's planting the trees glory to God as you Des you know why he put a sword there can't come in because it wasn't time for the restoration of all things see you got to stay with me see but listen carefully to me now as (32:19) you desire the tree you become the tree I need you to hear me now as you desire the tree more and more of the tree will come to you uh what starts with a seed begins to grow into a mighty Tree of Life the tree is coming to you as you come to the [Applause] tree the tree is calling you back children do you hear me that tree of the garden of E's calling every one of you come on back oh I but how do I get back you don't it comes to you uh did you hear me the tree comes to you and one day when you heard the gospel and you (33:11) said yes Lord that seed the Bible said it might have found a good ground it may not have but if it found a good ground all of a sudden tomorrow you're going to want more of the tree and you're going to look in your life and see more of the Tree of [Applause] Life everywhere that you were dead and Powerless all of a sudden is alive full of Power full of authority full of anointing there's a tree in me Hallelujah to God you need this tree because there's something in it that causes immortality to put on mortality morality immortality it causes corruption to begin becoming (34:09) Incorruptible right see y'all waiting for the resurrection to become Incorruptible no no no what is the word for Incorruptible life that life was planted in you so you are currently corruption putting on in corruption you are currently mortal putting on in mortality oh what do you mean brother V I'll tell you when you couldn't tell that bottle of alcohol no you were dead you had no power you had no Authority but when the seed come in you have a life in you to say no to say no there's a new power a new life growing in (35:03) [Applause] you that goes for adultery fornication every other sin see when you're dead when you're dead you don't respond that's right the devil says go sleep with that woman you do what the devil says why you're [Applause] dead he move you whever he wants to move you take you by the hair your chin and CH you bring you right over here you're dead you're not fighting back but then one day a little seed comes in and the devil feels you pull back a little bit there's a seed growing he's got a collar around your (35:56) dead neck and all of a sudden he feels a jerk hey I'm not going back there I'm not doing that ever again I have life glory to God somebody jerk your neck that's the sign of life I don't go where you tell me to go anymore I'm jerking back why because every day I trees growing in me uh giving me power to say no power to hold back uh Power to live [Applause] holy brother one can't nobody be holy I know a man who can his name is yua Jesus and he is the seed did you hear me he is the seed he moved in when he moved in (36:58) [Music] a tree started [Applause] growing you got to learn to desire more of the tree listen everybody there's a sword outside this tree the world can't come there this ain't an invitation to everybody this is an invitation to those that want the tree yes the more you desire the tree the more the tree desires you and the coming together the meshing together begins to grow there's a seed growing in you tonight this corruptible is putting on in corruption this death is putting on life woo Hallelujah we are being (37:59) restored back to life through the Son of God what did Jesus say he said I am the door I am the gate back into the garden I need you to work with me now my father is that Garden my word is that Garden but I am the only way to get you back in to the Garden If any man comes to the father he must first come through the door I'm the way back I am the tree of life but my God from Zion Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah the branches of that tree is the very SE it's the seven spirits of Yahweh (38:57) do you know about the seven spirits of God you should it's in the book of Isaiah God has seven spirits Yahweh has seven Spirit which are his seven characteristics which is his seven uh streams of himself it is his wisdom his knowledge his understand all of these and that seven spirits is the seven roots to the Tree of Life listen my God I need you to hear me now see that's the roots to the tree uh but there but Jesus said look I know you want to get back in that Garden but I'm telling you uh you cannot I you can't come near the tree (39:39) unless you come through the door Ah that's why Paul was so angry at the Jewish people that was trying to get back in the garden without coming through the door through the gate you cannot get this Garden by doing good by being good you can't even get there by keeping the Commandments you got to come through the [Applause] door hallelu I'm sorry opra winrey but there is no multiple paths into this Garden I'm sorry you can't come through Krishna you can't come through hudo or Voodoo or hoodoo wonder you got to come through (40:31) Jesus Christ yua the Messiah without him there is no [Applause] [Music] Holiness you better come through the [Applause] door submission submission is the door you can't come in this Garden any kind of way we're being restored back but notice what we're how we're being restored somebody say little by little see you can't come into this tree all in one moment just like you can't eat a steak all in one bite you got to work through the system you got to work through the pleasure of it God is restored bring truth back to his church little by little he's doing (41:31) it from one generation to the next W when they came in and destroyed God's Church in the Dark Ages and took away truth from us you and I are living in an age that's going to see the restoration of everything uh that was destroyed from God's Church Hallelujah Isaiah 28 Hallelujah read Isaiah 28 8-10 for all tables are full of vomit and F so that no place is clean to whom hold on now all the churches this is what he told the prophet Isaiah Yahweh because the table is where you feed the people that's right okay these are churches all the (42:23) churches are full of vomit that's right vomit now what is vomit let me just break it down for you it's regurgitated stuff that's that has no new life to it it's regurgitated mess he said all

knowledge but said I want to change that okay I want to take the vomit off the table at the church he said but I got to have somebody that wants to learn so God asked the proverbial (43:14) question who will I teach truth who will I give knowledge to do I hear something come on oh the children okay do who who will I teach that to who will I bring into this tree of knowledge read to whom will he

people that'll push away from the tables of Babylon and will say here am I oh God he's saying who can I give the tree of (44:07) life back to who wants the tree hallelujah hallelujah he said you can have your vomit of religion or I'll give you the tree of life it's your choice what do you want do you know how I know those that want the tree what he just said those that desire understanding because the tree of life is the tree of understanding read what he said now those who are wean from the milk I got to get you off the tit of the church NOK milk is for babies that's right I want to restore you back to the tree I want to get you off the (44:59) vomit but I got to find somebody that's willing to spit out the nipple from the bottle I got to find one person that wants this tree that's it because I've got a sword in front of it I'm not letting everybody near it I just told you a revelation right that's right he said there's a sword in front of this truth that's right God don't cast his Pearls Before Swine they're in the V [Applause] but if I can find one person that'll spit out the bottle that wants this tree I'll give it to [Music] you I just felt the Holy Ghost kiss this meeting hallelujah hallelujah oh God said I want (45:54) to feed you I want to bring you back to this tree so that the roots of it can give you life but I can't do it if every time I try to give

this room Pat's brilliant woman so many many of you smart in this room so people ask me all the time where do you get this Revelation this understanding from I desire (46:35) [Applause] it I just I seek for it I spend every day of my life looking for truth I hunger for it and the more I hunger the more it comes because I want the tree the tree comes to me yes but when that tree be my God I feel so much right now in my [Applause] soul I told y'all to bring your Pepto Bismol [Applause] tonight but how does God give us that tree read for precept must be upon precept okay but I can't give you the tree all at once well how am I going to give it to you I'm how a little a little here a little there a little as you seek for it (47:34) you'll find it I'll do like Hansel and grle I'll drop some crumbs along the way while you look for this tree read precept upon precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line here a little and there a little that's how God gives it to you here a little there little why didn't he give it all to us at one time here I'll tell you why why don't you send your child to first through 12th grade in one day that's you can't handle it you can't digest it you can't live it the purpose of me teaching you math is not so you can just say I learned math it's so you can incorporate math into your daily life amen God's not teaching (48:24) you his word just so you can say oh quoted a scripture today no no no no he wants your life to live that scripture today this is how he feed you a little at a time and as you hunger more and more and more is going to come praise God anybody getting anything out of [Music] this read John 17 and 17 sanctify them through your law your law is true all right now we're getting we're going to come into what the tree is now this is called the sanctification process how many's ever heard of Saved Sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost see the church is stuck on (49:11) Saved they don't understand that now we start looking for the tree we start journeying back to Eden and he just said how does that sanctification happen sanctify me with your word which is your law which is your Torah sanctify me with truth now brother V the Torah is for the Old Testament I've taught you better than that right the Torah was the Tree of Life Hallelujah brother Bon I don't believe that then you don't believe your Bible I'm going prove it give me two seconds the Torah the first five books that (50:00) Moses wrote contained the same instructions for living as the Tree of Life contained right why do you think Yahweh came in the garden every evening to speak with those people do you think he was teaching them anything other than his law you think they was talking about sport you think they were talking about music no they were there for class and he was teaching them in the garden the same thing that Moses taught Israel in the Torah right brother V I don't believe it all right then let's go to Deuteronomy CH 32 verse (50:49) 46-47 this is why I get angry when the church wants to take the Old Testament and put it on a back shelf somewhere read Deuteronomy 32: 46-47 he said to them take to heart all the words I have testified among you turn your mic on push the button okay go ahead go ahead sorry so that you carefully so that you may command your children to carefully observe and do all the words of this law these are not just Idle Words now listen the these laws mean life these laws are life life he said I'm fixing to give you the Torah don't think that this is just some old testament that this is just some (51:38) books of the Bible he said they're the same thing that was in the tree of life they are life keep reading and by them you shall prolong your days in the land which you are crossing the Jordan to possess God wants your life to be blessed he wants your life to be the what Abundant Life and so he gives you instructions of how to have that Abundant Life you know how many's ever bought a car when you bought the car the instruction manual is in the car and you say well I've got the car I don't need that God's law is his (52:25) instruction manual for your salvation yeah the Salvation is free the instructions are daily say that again salvation won't cost you anything but sanctification will cost you everything oh yeah that's why people misunderstand our message here we're not teaching that works save anybody we're teaching that Works come when you get saved because of the faith that's in your life in the word of God it will begin to work in your life Moses said these words are life to you as you begin to live the word of God (53:17) ladies and gentlemen that is the Tree of Life as you begin to live the word you're living the tree what was in the tree is in the word why because the word of God comes from the same roots that the Tree of Life come from the seven spirits of Yahweh the full nutrition of the tree of life is revealed to us here a little and there a little can I show you the here a little and there a little watch closely this is how the tree has come to us here the Torah there yua there the Holy Spirit here a little there a little there a little why the tree of life you can't say I believe in Jesus but I don't (54:22) believe in the Torah Jesus was the Torah see Follow Me Now you can't see you believe in the Holy Ghost but you don't believe in Jesus Holy Ghost see it's all do you see it's it's one big what come on chint see do you see on the upward Journey what's happening do you understand now that Torah is part of this dust storm the instructions of God are not to be put in the past they are to be put in the present but this time with the supernatural power of the Holy ghost that is the tree growing in our lives uh the same life that was in the Torah was (55:05) in yua the same life that was in yua is in the Holy Ghost the same life in the holy ghost is now in [Applause] you Hallelujah Glory we're on the upward journey and when we get to the top of this journey I'm almost most finished Saints when we get to the top of this journey y'all warn the visitors what that means okay when we get to the top of this journey when we get to the top guess where we're going to guess what we're going to see when we get to the top when we get to the top of the upper Journey guess where it brings us to right back (55:45) to the tree of life let's read Revelations 27:22 and4 listen carefully Revelation 2 and7 and then revelation 22 and4 he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the called out ones of the House of Yahweh yes to him who overcomes I will give to eat from the Tree of Life which is in the midst of the garden of Yahweh now listen you have to have a right to the Tree of Life everybody don't have the right to the tree of life only the Overcomers overcoming what you that's right overcoming Allan overcoming Justina overcoming every one of you he (56:42) said if you overcome your dead man and walk into your living man you'll have a right to go back to the Tree of Life Hallelujah you're not at the tree of life yet don't be confused just like we're not in the kingdom of God yet we have the seed of the Kingdom we have the taste of the Kingdom well you don't have the tree yet you've got the seedling of the tree uh but if that tree grows in you it will give you a right to the Tree of Life on the upward Journey when you get to the top of this journey it bring brings you back to where it started at the bottom the Tree of Life (57:31) yeah I'm going to say that again cuz you didn't catch it this journey started at the tree of life when we get to the top of this upward Journey we wind right back up at the Tree of Life uh Hallelujah we've gone in a lot of circles to get there we've gone round and round to get there but as long as we're going up and the tree is growing we're going to get there read Revelations 2 two now and verse 14 blessed are those who keep his laws that they may have the right to the Tree of Life blessed are those that keep the law of God for only (58:11) they will ever get access back to the Tree of Life [Applause] hallall Hallelujah Glory praise and yet the church teaches you that you can't keep the law of God I'm fixing to get on it y'all this service ain't over don't even get comfortable yet I'm going to teach you something now I'm going to teach you why Satan has had to present the other tree now let's go to the the first tree what was the name of the tree on the left Tree of Life the true tree now this one we're going to call the anti tree antire when people think of the Antichrist they think of the enemy of (59:08) Christ anti doesn't mean enemy it means the replacement of it's going to look just like Jesus Christ ladies and gentlemen I'm showing you on the right the Antichrist or the anti- tree I hope you're with me now cuz some it's going to take some of y'all to go a little bit deeper on the left you've got the true church on the right you've got the anti-church the church that looks just like the church my God from Heaven the gospel that looks just like the [Music] gospel the life the Tree of Life of knowledge of Good and Evil Genesis 216-17 we're not going to read it you (59:59) can read that later this tree is a tree that imitates but never produces it imitates but it doesn't produce it has no fruit let's read 1 Corinthians 3 and 19 before we read it the word knowledge comes from the Greek word kosis or genosis which means to know and to understand it sounds good every talk show on television today is to help you to understand yourself better CNN I noticed last night they're promoting a new children's book and and wasn't a major deal I was walking through the house and I looked up on the screen I don't know why my TV was on CNN but it was for a moment and I looked up (1:00:53) and I saw a book and it was a beautiful book book had a cat on the front of it and it said that the title was to no to understand yourself better the children of Israel we want to understand God better not ourselves there's a false knowledge in the world where they want to understand oh let's go to therapy so we can understand tell me you don't even understand Jesus Christ is the only way to God how I'm going to sit in therapy with you you want to understand the Bible said they look into those things that they know not wanting to understand but they don't want to know the head that's (1:01:41) right yeah we're living in a world where everybody wants Oprah's latest book so they can have knowledge about themselves y'all know I'm telling you the truth right go look at Barnes and Nobles look at every book on understand how to be happier how to be skinnier How To Love Yourself better my God look at the Selfies people don't love themselves enough how to live your best life now how do we want because that knowledge requires no obedience to God right that you better learn to discern the difference I'm teaching you today the difference I'm teaching you how not to be deceived by the anti (1:02:34) tree the anti-church anti- doesn't mean they're against Church it means they look just like the church W there's only one way not to be deceived you better learn to discern let's read 1 Corinthians 3:19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with with Yahweh for it is written he catches the wise in their own craftiness the whole world wants wisdom the whole world wants to go to yoga School the whole world wants to sit with their legs crossed uming yuming uming um trying to tune in to get more knowledge and understanding and they're so dumb they don't even know that Jesus Christ is (1:03:29) Lord God laughs at fishy fouy God laughs at the wisdom of this world and while the world laughs at us God laughs at them because their wisdom is silly to God that's right now that tree of knowledge of Good and Evil notice something something you may never seen Satan was not just teaching Eve how to be evil that tree was going to teach Eve how to be good without God we always thought the tree of life was the good tree this one the evil no good and evil Satan was going to teach them how to be good humans without being Godly humans and listen to me every one of you (1:04:44) he will come into your life and do the same thing if you're not careful he will mock your obedience and say you ought to be doing more for the community like they're doing y'all ought to have more you ought to do this let me tell you something at the end of the day God could care less about any soup kitchen you ever worked at I hope you hear me he could care less about any Salvation Army bell you ever rung if you did all of that and you did not submit to the Torah to the law to the Ten Commandments if you didn't submit to God you went out there being (1:05:29) good on your own Satan will teach you how to be good that's right oh you donated the Goodwill but you stole the tithe Satan will teach you how to be good without God all your co-workers well you know brother van You Preach so hard but my co-workers they're all good people of course they are but they're not God people they're all getting together listen every one of them's going to go to a run they going to run 5k to raise money and that's good go run I need to do it go run but will you run to the house of God on the Sabbath (1:06:21) day Hallelujah will you run to the holy day where you run to obey God that's called being good but not being Godly it will never work God don't care what 4K 5K you've run in if you've not run the race of Faith none of it matters there are two choices in your life separation to God or separation from God all right that's it I don't think you got it so I'm G to say it again you will either separate to God or you'll separate from God you can't have it no other way Proverbs 14 and 12 and then let's hurry along and (1:07:13) close this tree of knowledge of Good and Evil produces a new light that entices men's minds and gets them in awe it teaches you everything but the path of obedience Proverbs 14 and 12 there is a way which seems right to a man but the ends thereof are the ways of death brother Von they good people there's a way that seems good but the end is the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil which brings forth death because that tree doesn't teach obedience that tree teaches you how to be good that's the hardest people have (1:08:05) problem people have with my message brother van I know so many people they're just good people I hope you're understanding now of course they're good people the human Minds it's good but until it's obedient it's filthy rags right I about to throw something at you ohj he was falling asleep on me over there y'all I was going to throw something at him all right I'm about done Galatians 1 6-7 what does this other tree do brother would you bring my trees back up that'll wake you back up these other trees you know what it does (1:08:59) it preaches but it perverts the true tree that's a preaching tree read it for me Galatians 1:6-7 I am astonished that you have so quickly turned away from the one who called you into the love of Messiah to another message to a what to another message somebody say to an anti- message an antiage C Paul is writing to the church and he says I'm shocked you're still listening to the message but it's an anti it's a replacement message read not that there is any other Glad Tidings just that there are some who trouble you and are trying to pervert (1:09:40) the message of the Messiah did you hear there is a he said there is a church within a church that's trying to pervert the message of what the Messiah preached yeah some of y'all going to wake up now he said they're preaching and they're preaching what good but they not preaching obedience they're taking the words that Jesus said judge not they're taking the words that Jesus said and they're perverting that message see everybody that's looking for the Antichrist don't understand they've already found him it's the anti- (1:10:27) tree let's read quickly Revelations 12 and9 Oh No 2 Thessalonians 2 and2 y'all are lucky only three left and we're done 2 Thessalonians 2 and 12 the tree on the right has a new Jesus he has a new Jesus that no longer teaches what his father taught obedience this new Jesus teaches another message second Thessalonians 2 and2 in order that all those may be judged as not having believed the truth but as having delighted in sin see there's a church that's not going to believe the truth they're going to Delight in the message that tells them do what you want (1:11:26) God loves you the way you are when I married my wife she loved me the way I was but she was going to keep me the way I was I was messed up I had to do some changing she's still trying to get me trained point I'm making God loves you as you are of course he does but he don't keep you as you are he keeps you as he is Holy Holy Paul said you're going to believe another gospel you're going to believe that tree on the right that wears a suit just like the other preacher and can probably out preach the other preacher you're going to see them come and tell you that you can Delight in sin you can come into God's church (1:12:28) and be all right with sin that's the Antichrist spirit it's already working in the church today but there is another group he said that have a love for the truth or a love for the tree Hallelujah Revelation 12 and9 revelation 12 and9 and the Great Dragon was cast out of that old serpent called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole world Now ladies and gentlemen he deceives them the way he did Eve by teaching them how to be good without being obedient I told you before I started tonight I was going to help you to never be deceived if you ever hear a (1:13:33) gospel that doesn't preach obedience to the word of God it's a false tree it's a false gospel let's close with Jeremiah 2 and3 Jeremiah chap 2 and verse 13 thank you Lord for my people have committed two evils they have forsaken me the Fountain of Living Waters and have dug their own sistern sisters that crack and cannot hold water they've rejected me and they went build another church church that won't hold that Water of Life word it won't give them the tree of life it gives them a feel-good experience with no change life and that (1:14:40) sister is the sister of death do you know why the churches All Over America are dying they have forsaken the gospel of selling out yes for God yes to be mixed with the world it will never work it's the tree of death so tonight I want you in this ministry to understand one final thing we preach the Sabbath we preach the holy days we preach how God wants us to live our life he don't want us committing fornication we we we preach how you know how he wants us to eat and and how he wants us to conduct ourselves we (1:15:29) preach all that and you hear another preacher that's having the so-called same move of God maybe bigger Church people's good things are happening in that church I hope you heard me good things are happening brother vanon they've got an Outreach they go out and they do this and they do that and you're just over there preaching obedience obedience obedience don't ever let that other tree mock the true tree stand for obedience and God will bless you that's right God will bless this church in ways if everyone in this church would become obedient to God's word in every area of your (1:16:37) life we would be so overtaken with blessings because listen brothers and sisters this true tree is calling you it's the tree of obedience don't ever be ashamed it's a narrow way the Bible said few there be that's going to find this true tree let's stand tonight Hallelujah the whole world has been deceived but there is a group of people here tonight that I believe have not been deceived that we're walking in the truth of God's holy word and I would encourage you tonight as we leave on this sabbath Eve evening and we go back into our regular (1:17:29) lives let the Tree of Life go with you draw from its roots allow the seven spirits of Yahweh to grow inside of you on a daily basis learn to love your enemies learn to do good to them that despitefully use you learn you ain't got to get back at everybody that got you learn these things and as you learn those things that's that's not the devil growing in you is it that's got to be the Tree of Life Hallelujah that's him growing in you he wants to become such a tree in your life that you'll have a right to the (1:18:17) Tree of Life
