Marks of a False Prophet

Read out, Lord, as you have your Bible, the seven chapters, Matthew, beginning at verse 13. I want to speak tonight on this truth, that the people who get on the broad road and build their houses on sand, and something comes along and tears it up because the house wasn't built on the right foundation, these people who call him Lord, but do not know him and do not do his will, they get on that broad road by listening to false prophets. By listening to false prophets.

Follow me now as I read the whole passage one more time. The Lord says in verse 13, enter ye in at the straight gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereas.

Because straight is the gate, narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. So wherefore prophets, which come to you and keep closing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves, ye shall know them by their fruits. Then he argues, do men gather grapes of thorns? No.

Are pigs officials? Of course not. Even so, here is something that makes good sense, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

It's an impossibility, he said. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. And a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruit ye shall know them, these false prophets. It is my conviction, not mine alone, that our task these days is threefold in the public proclamation of the word.

We must proclaim and enforce God's holy law. We must proclaim in all of its purity God's holy gospel. And we must lift up our voices and call to the people's attention, the Savior's plain admonition, that there were a false prophet.

Let me call your attention one more time, as I have somewhere along the line since I've been here, that a false prophet is not necessarily an evil prophet. In the Old Testament especially and in the New, there are evil prophets, there are malicious, there are satanically infirmed. But a false prophet may be a fine fellow.

He comes to you in cheap clothing, but the fact that he's such a nice fellow and he's so earnest and he's so sincere and he seems to have such a passion for souls and he seems to want to see people saved so intensely makes him all the more dangerous because the people will hear him and they'll hear him as he preaches a message that doesn't bear good fruit. Good fruit. I don't care how nice a man is, if his message doesn't produce good fruit.

He's a false prophet. And the Lord tells the people to beware of false prophets. And he tells them how they can tell a false prophet by the truth that results from the ministry of that Sunday school teacher or that fellow who preaches on the street or that fellow who preaches over the radio or from the Pope that stands here or wherever or however it may be if it's converse or not good.

If it's converse, do not spend the rest of their lives as callers and seekers on the Lord. If it's converse, go to hell because they're depending on some physical act they perform or some prayer that they said or something like that. So beware of false prophets.

I heard a preacher's day over the radio telling the sinner to pray the sinner's prayer and he guaranteed he'd be saved. Now that's blasphemy. And it comes from the lips of a false prophet, maybe a nice fellow.

And he's very sincere, but he knows nothing about the way God brings sinners to himself. And it's time now in the battle of words and in the conflict of doctrine and especially since you and I have lived all the days of our lives when the truth has not been very good. And we have to dig ourselves considerably to find the slightest evidence that we have a saving interest in the blood of Christ and that we are truly married to and united to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The scriptures tell us that we are a branch if we are a child of God. And the faith and the Jews and the power and the life comes from the vine. And we'll look at ourselves in these days and we can almost hear the death rattle of real Christianity.

And it's hard put we are to have the slightest evidence in ourselves that there's any power flowing to us from the vine and then through us to lost mankind. This is desperate language. And certainly this is the time for us to pick up our ears and beware of false prophets and to search our own experience and our own convictions and our own standing and conditions to see whether or not we are on this broad road that's a road of religious profession where everybody on it calls Jesus Lord where even some on it do some tremendous mighty work cast out demons and so forth.

And where now we're living in a time when our houses are being built down and so many people are discovering that they have strong faith that they had their faith in the wrong person or the wrong thing. Where the winds from a thousand directions are blowing and the confidences and assurances of multitudes of people that they were built on a rock as long since gone by the board as they found their whole spiritual structure blown away. So where are false prophets? Now, it's not to be just near that.

But right after our Lord has so seriously enjoined us and admonished us to strive to get in the straight deal thus walk the narrow road and has told us that there is a wide deal and that it leads to a broad way and that this broad way leads to destruction, eternal destruction and that the narrow gate, the straight gate leads to a very narrow way and that that narrow way and that narrow way alone leads to life. It's not to be just passed over that in the next very breath in the next very verse the Lord brings up the subject of us being keenly on the alert to see through it whether we believe a lie or whether we believe truth. For if you believe the devil's lie you can't get saved.

And if you do not pick up your ears you'll be like the folks who listen to the radio today. They believe everything they hear and thus they believe nothing. Thus they believe nothing.

All beware of false prophets. We need to heed that warning especially today for I'm not an old crank when I tell you you're living in the day of the mighty low ebb of spiritual power. The deadness on our faces the blank look on your faces is a mark of death.

We seem to be numb to cocaine until all expression is gone from us. It's like we're in the gasp in time of a death rattle of what we call spiritual life. I'm telling you the truth, folks.

We're in a desperate state. And the preacher knows it and feels it and will do you good. I would ask you, you people who do not even bring your Bible when you come to preach.

Do you expect what on earth has happened to us? The people in Berea were wise. They served. You see what they served was in the Scripture.

Was in the Scripture. When I come back down to my native Southland, I go north a lot, I can always tell if I come down below the Mason-Dixon line. And I can be dead certain I'll come home into a Baptist church if I preach the Bible.

The Bible is in the North that has the prize for the gospel. And the people in the North that believe in the Lord, they believe in him. They believe in him, brother.

They stick out, brother. They're in the minority, but they stick out. And brother, they are Bible readers and Bible students.

If the Scripture is true that my Lord said, My sheep listen to my voice. If they can't hear it, except I hear it. That's how you hear it.

Then I tell you, our Bible-ness is a mark of something that's terribly, terribly bad. You mad at me? I wish you had more interest in your soul. I really do.

I wish I could get under your heart and jar you out of this state of death that we seem to all be in. And that the Holy Spirit would spur somebody to the danger of not absolutely measuring everything you hear now up to what Ralph Barnes says or what the word of God says. There's the truth, and I wish you believed it.

Beware of false prophets. Beware of false prophets. We cannot escape the inference here, and I think it's more than an inference, that the Lord is saying, Beware of false prophets.

He wants us to wake up to the fact that the way people get on this broad road is because they listen to false prophets. Not bad men, but men who did not preach the truth, or they preached it in half-truths, in a half-truth worse than the whole error, because people were flawless, up-lying thinkers. And that's terribly dangerous.

I want tonight to mention from the word of God five marks of false preaching that are percued to the hour in which we live. These marks by which men and women do really have an interest in eternity and labor under the suspicion that it's entirely possible that we're not just a bunch of hogs and dogs, and that when we die, they'll take us out here and bury us so we won't corrupt the air with our rotting bodies. That's the last of it.

But as men and women who have some belief that means that out yonder there's another life, and that these days down here what happens here will determine what will happen out yonder, I think it is conspicuously true today that these five things are worthy of our close attention. I do not dare to take time enough to mention many, many of the marks of a false prophet that stop the pages of the Old Testament and the New. But I pick out five that seem to me, and I believe I'm about half right here, to be peculiar to the preaching of this thing that has got us in this awful death-like state we're in where it seems that we're powerlessly free, that we have no hunger for the word of God, that we're just about half-dead and dragging along and hoping for the best.

And I mention these five marks. The Lord said you can tell these false prophets by their fruits, by their fruits. And as I look about the fruits of our ministries for these 30, 40, 50 years, and the fruits getting worse all the time, and the standards are going down all the time, and the marks of death are growing all the while, and the marks of life seem to be almost disappearing.

I think these five things really make it picture the type of preaching that we've had for these many years that have got us on this broad road that's leading multitudes of people who are sincere. They're dead, but they're sincere. They're lifeless, but they believe what they've been told, and they're on the broad road, and they think they're all right, and only an awakening of the Holy Ghost will ever awaken.

They'll go to hell and be greatly surprised because they thought they were all right. The first of these marks that I think is peculiar to the hour in which we live is that a false preacher will speak peace to a sinner when God hasn't spoken peace. The Old Testament talks about men who speak peace, peace, when there is no peace.

One of the pastors in a, I don't know if it's in this town here or not, but a Wallace Starr gets up every other night when he's in the services, and he says, I have a deep conviction that we've made decisions for multitudes of people these days. We've made decisions for people. Have you ever run across this? Have you run across this? He has a personal worker, and they are very earnest and very sincere.

They've got an old unseen man lined up and they're trying their best to help him. They'll say, Now, my brother, let's read this verse of scripture. All right.

We'll read it. Do you believe that? Yes, I believe that. So what does that say? It says so-and-so, so-and-so.

Well, you believe? Oh, yes. Well, now, God wouldn't lie, would he? Oh, no. I don't believe God would lie.

Well, then according to what that verse says, you do so-and-so, God will save you. Yes, that's what it says. Well, now, God wouldn't lie, would he? All right.

Well, then, aren't you saved? Well, I don't know. Well, you wouldn't call God a liar, would you? No, no. Why, of course you are saved.

And so we decide that that old boy is saved. We decide that he's saved. I was down in Texas a week before this last speaking of young pastors, and one day after the noon-day message, the 11 o'clock message, there were a few of us who were seated, having a bite to eat.

And some of the younger pastors were gravely disturbed over something I said. And you better listen to Brother Barnes right now. Some of you don't even do as much as go around inviting people to accept Christ.

But I called attention to the fact that in the New Testament, when you went knocking somebody's door and you went to talk to a man who wasn't lost, who had just one weapon, and that was the proclamation of truth to him. That's right. I'm telling you that God's truth is still held full of church members, and I've said it before.

How many of you have accepted a proclamation instead of submitting to the law of Jesus Christ? And I called that attention to this fact, and I'm speaking to Sunday School teachers now, and I'm speaking to you precious young deacons who have a tremendous responsibility, and I bet you better hear me. We have literally, literally, substituted the winsomeness of our personality and the power of our appeal for the one thing that's got any power in it. Romans 1, 16 says, I'm not ashamed of the gospel, for this is the power of the gospel.

Let me illustrate what I'm talking about. I know this is one of the nights. I know this is indicative of how far we are from the blessing of God, but you are here, and I'd be helpful to you if I could.

I rejoice. It was good trials, and do my best football. That's God's business.

I've been telling you, we're trying, but you're here. Let me give you an illustration. God had to come to a fellow by the name of the Apostle Peter and yell at killing before he could get rid of this tradition and this Jewish prejudice.

And finally, they sent old Peter down to a fellow by the name of Cornelius who was down there and praying and worshiping God best that you have, and he's just hoping somebody would come and speak to him some words of salvation! And that's when God nearly had to kill old Peter to get him to go down there. The Apostle Peter went down there and knocked on the door. Come in! I'm the Apostle Peter.

Are you this man, Cornelius? Yes. Well, I want to know, Brother Cornelius, do you want to accept Jesus as your personal Savior? No, he didn't do no such thing. There ain't no power in your little old invitation.

And there's not a bit of power in that man's decision, but I'll tell you what there is power. There's power in the gospel. You know what Peter did? I'm telling you, for the last 40 and 60 years, church members didn't know the gospel themselves, and when they went out and did personal work, they didn't give the sinner a bit of truth! They just took out their hands and said, Brother, won't you accept Jesus? And the old boy did and went on there.

But listen, there isn't any power except in the gospel. And if you get a chance to witness to a man, what you going to tell him? Do what Peter did! Give him the proof of God in Jesus Christ. And the Scriptures tell us there in the 10th chapter of Acts, you read it, I'm not making this up, while yet Peter yet preached unto them, the Holy Ghost fell on them that went away, and they got saved! Of course they did.

That's how people get saved. It's not by your little old two-bit argument. It's not by your little old invitation.

That isn't worth our time. And they just accept the proposition and go on to hell believing they're alive. It's the gospel that's the power of God and salvation.

I'm pleading that we quit all this foolishness and get us a Bible and go out here and represent Christ instead of disgracing him. And when they tackle the sinner, what they didn't buy at the time, they didn't know it. And if the Holy Ghost falls on him, he'll be saved.

By the glyphs. But he won't be saved just because you ask him, he won't accept you. Most of you folks are going to sit here wide open going, oh, on God's earth you got, you accepted a proposition somebody made.

But there's no salvation in my proposition. The gospel is the power of God. We can't believe the gospel.

And we spoke in faith. These young people of the church, they said, you mean tell me, when the glad-do-person awakes, we ought to just give them the word of God and say, that's all right. And praise the Holy Ghost will fall on them while they listen to the gospel.

Isn't it? You can't even prove it. I know we've been trying to. But see, that's the one thing we don't do.

When the glad-do-person awakes, we don't give them the gospel. We just give them our little invitation. And they've already accepted it.

All they did was accept our invitation. And we told them, they said, all right. We spoke in faith.

And there wasn't any faith. Their brother Barney said one more time, between eternity, between heaven and hell, there is only one voice. It's been given their power and their ability to speak the truth of the soul.

That's the voice of God. If that old sinner has to have you convincing he's saved, you're butchering him. Mr. Finney used to say, many went away saved.

They've been comforted by the Holy Ghost. And if he gives you comfort, if he fills your heart with peace, that's fine. But if you've got your hope of going to heaven because you accepted my proposition that somebody else is pleased to receive Christ, I'm scared to death that you're going to find you've built your house on sand and you've been walking on a broad road and you've lost the discipleship.

Another mark of a false prophet that's closely akin to this one, the Old Testament speaks of men healing the wounds of people's strife. This is what I miss and what I keep preaching. I go from place to place.

And one time I see glorious things and another time it doesn't. But I can't do it myself. So we just keep on, keep on, keep on.

But I refuse. I've done it for 30-odd years. I've seen multiplied, multiplied, multiplied thousands of people make perfection and faith.

I won't know where any of them got saved until I get to the judges. I hope many of them did. But I've never done one thing and so help me God, I never will.

I may rob a bank tomorrow, but I'll never stoop to these underhanded methods to get people to say they accept Jesus if they do not want him mighty bad. I'm telling you what's the fact. Jesus, I walk in the aisle and 15 minutes jump from one jaw to the other and go right back out.

I've actually seen men get converted. They're clean, they're good. In the shade of the tomb on his feet, go right back out and light a cigarette.

I've seen it. I've seen it. Why, there ain't no more salvation better than a monkey, and you know it.

Because that salvation doesn't even clean the mouth. That's no good. That's no good.

And you know it's no good. So healing the wounds by the acceptance of John the Baptist who was filled with the Spirit in his mother's womb and Jeremiah likewise. I'm going to put his faith down when I tell you that in order to save a human being the lovely Lord Jesus has to wound and the preacher that will heal the wound that blood-stained Jesus gives the sinner in order to bring him to himself is his cause.

We have a generation of people now who say they have peace but they never knew bitterness and they scare me. They scare me. God bless you, my lovely Lord.

In order to conquer an old rebel the crushing the way he'll bow to his blessed truth my Lord is kind enough to wound to get him down off that cockiness humbleness frankness God has a man who puts a little cold cream on a weeping sinner bless God to give them joy and no one can give them a little joy. In times when I've seen a little of what we call a life or just a little I have thought sometimes my whole heart would break as I've seen men and women suffering under the wounds of sin who love sinners enough rather than see them to go to hell you'll wound them and you'll wound them deeply if you don't they'll never call on you. So we do not believe it but it's so a sinner will never call on the Lord if he can help God to crush it and wound it.

Don't feel the wounds of sinners like me. Don't do it. Don't do it.

Let the one who inflicts the wounds and if the Lord don't wound you you're going to hell I'll tell you that. Let him that inflicts you just keep your hand off of him. I've had people come to all of us into suffering, to persecution down in Texas in July a little junior girl about 10, 11, 12, maybe 13 years old and she kept on coming to the front and she knew the Lord and you could almost hear the wrath of her body.

I said praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. The wounds of my blessed Lord go mighty deep.

They have to wound you brother or you'll go to hell. Don't heal the wounds of sinners like false prophets do that. Don't speak peace.

Let God speak peace. Don't tell a man God's done something for him. Let the man tell you what God's done.

You can't beat the Holy Spirit for doing what God Almighty gave him to do. In the third place false prophets in these days good men make the gate a whole lot easier to get in than the Lord did. It is so hard to get in this straight gate.

My Lord said you had to agonize. You had to agonize almost. How easy it's made now.

How easy. But nobody that loves you will tell you it's easy. When I was a student in one of our seminars in Texas many, many years ago my wizard mother up in the plains of Texas went to a doctor and the diagnosis scared her.

Scared her so that she got on a train and came down to Fort Worth, Texas where I was going to school and told me what to say. There happened to be a visiting doctor in the hospital in Fort Worth one of the staff of the great Mayo Brothers in Rochester, Minnesota. I went to the president of the school and he got me an appointment to see that great surgeon.

I took my mother to see him and he examined her over a period of a few days and told her she had cancer. Cancer of the womb. And he told her that he believed there was a 50-50 chance if they removed the womb that she'd have many years of life.

And I hadn't had any money. I was going to school. I drank.

He was a gentleman. I told him about my condition. He says, all right.

Do the best you can. He took my mother. My mother asked me to go in the operating room and I stood there for 3 hours and 37 minutes doing that awful long operation.

My mother had asked me that if she came out I would lie that I'd be at her bedside when she woke up and I was there. When she woke up and got her wits about the first question she asked, is it out? And I said, yes, mother. She said, I'm so glad.

Oh, I've been so glad she lived 37 years after that. No recurrence. Isn't it wonderful that that doctor told her the truth? What if that doctor said now there's a little something wrong and I'm going to give her this little knife and a little bunch of pills and I think you've taken twice a day everything that's been on the door.

No, he told her she had cancer. Told her she had cancer. That only a donor could kill her eventually unless it was taken out and of course being human couldn't guarantee that.

My mother said, I'm so glad. So glad. Suppose, my friend, that Jesus told the truth.

Just suppose. Just suppose he said, this game is difficult. It's not a little skin disease.

There's a cancer in that gut canal. That's that old wicked hostility in your heart. It's got to be crushed.

You've got to be made a captive and a willing captive of bloodstained Jesus. Will his will central in your life if nothing but an operation of the Holy Ghost and the power of the blood of Christ and the risen Lord is sufficient for your needs? Suppose he told the truth. What in the name of God will this generation of easygoing sinful living men and women claim into the children of God? How will they fare when the stand of the just, having ignored this admonition of the Lord, strives to get in the straight game? It's so difficult.

You can't have this world and Christ, too. One of them's got to go. You can't have the spirit of this age and Christ, too.

One of them's got to go. You can't have all this in heaven, too. One of them's got to go.

You know what it may be? He told the truth. I'm betting that he did. And I say to you that a false prophet will preach this little easy gospel.

You can keep your sin and do as you please. Never once in a while you can get up in church and say, now, I'm saved, but I haven't been living right. That'll make you feel better for a couple of weeks and that's why you'll die and go on to hell.

Ladies and gentlemen, this thing is pretty serious. This day is difficult. And a false prophet will tell you it's easy.

Because the march of a false prophet in this day will make this road a whole lot broader than Jesus makes it. A whole lot broader than Jesus. You know, Joe, I know there are winter times in the soul.

I know there are times when life seems to flow more than others. But I also know that this generation's been shot a curve when I keep hearing people telling me, I know I'm saved, but I'm not living for the Lord. Something's wrong.

This narrow way hasn't got room on it for men and women in rebellion against Jesus Christ. Hear me? This narrow way is a Christ-disciplined way. And I tell you now that I do you good, not evil at all, you better bring your habits and your thoughts and your work and your home and your body and everything there is about you to Christ.

Put them under his discipline, brother. Too long we've had a generation of church people that decide what they'll do and what they will not do. I tell you, it's not given to us to walk this narrow road except under the discipline of the Lord of hosts.

That'll call for daily repentance. That'll call for daily exercise of faith. That'll call for daily surrender and commitment.

God bless your heart. That'll call for daily getting your orders from the Commander-in-Chief. It sure will, devil.

I'm telling you, we know nothing much about what I'm talking about now. But my heart leaps within me lest we miss Christ altogether. This disciplined road.

See, it's disciplined not by what we claim but by what we do. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Who else? He that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Not so to talk about I'm saved but I'm not living right. But he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. That's what the Lord says.

That's what the Lord says. Oh, I'm saved, Brother Barney, but I'm not doing the will of God. Well, if that's true, the Lord Jesus is alive.

Because he said the fellow that's going to make it is the fellow that does the will of his Father. I can't do anything perfectly but there's something I can do. Amen? You needn't worry about perfection yet.

But my Lord said not every one that saith. They're on that broad road. Oh, just look at us.

They're not the ones, but he that doeth. Present, present, partnership. That's the tenor of his life.

That's the bent of his life, the will of God. That's the biggest thing in his life. That's the man who saved him.

That's the child of God. That's how the Lord identifies the fellow that's not on this broad road. He's on the narrow road.

It's narrow because it's under the strict discipline, here, who earned the right to demand of us that we bring our very thoughts into captivity or things, whoever we do, do everything we do to the glory of the Lord. But the false prophet, his converts, oh, I'm saying that the will of God's not the central thing that makes you tick. And there's no salvation there, Bill, if Jesus told the truth.

The last word about a false prophet is this. Not only does he speak peace where there is no peace, this is to use it our day and heal the wounds of men lightly. Not only does he make the gate pretty easy instead of difficult and the road very broad instead of narrow, but he offers salvation on cheaper terms than God does.

The terms have never been changed. Any human being on earth is able to repent. But repentance isn't a once-for-all act.

It goes on as long as you live. And anybody on earth that's able to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, but that's not a once-for-all act. It goes on as long as you live.

Anybody on earth that can meet the terms of salvation, repentance and faith, thank God he'll be saved. Praise God. But they will not be lowered.

They cannot be cheapened. And repentance is nothing more or less than the enthronement of you and the enthronement of God's Son in you. And faith is nothing more or less than utter confidence in and absolute obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ.

But what we've known all the days I've been a preacher, you just go through some motions one time, preachers tell you you're saved, and you go on to hell. No, no. Every commitment between you and God needs to be made time after time after time after time after time.

I know I'm from that. It's he that believeth. He just keeps on believing.

It's he that endures it. He don't lay out. He don't run for a little while and then stop.

No, no. It's he that abides it. It's he that drinks it.

It's he that obeys it. It's he that eats it. All of these, you schoolchildren, know the meaning of them.

It's continuous. The world, my friends, every day calls for new commitment to the utter lordship of Christ in your life. Utter dependence on his saving blood to wipe out the penalty of sin that God Almighty demands.

To make it cheaper than that is the mark of a false covenant, not of truth. Utter dethronement of self. Utter enthronement of Christ.

Christ where you stand. Christ giving the orders. Christ in command.

That's repentance. I'm going to look you in the face now. I'm going to meet you to judge anybody on earth that will take this book and face it and find out what's in it.

Be faced with the totalitarian claims of God for his son in your life. Anybody on earth that will do it will either curse God and hope to die or it will bring you the deep repentance every day of your life. For the best saint that ever lived, when he faced with the all-inclusiveness of God's command for his son, will have to discontinually face the fact that you're far, so far short, so far short.

We're commanded to bring our thoughts into captivity to him. Now, brother, that's kind of a job. How many of you have battened a thousand percent? You see, his demands, his claims of his rule in your daily living, it doesn't cause you to have tremendous experiences of repentance and crying to God for forgiveness and confession of sin.

It's because you know nothing of Christ. You're a stranger to the Son of God. Holy Neck Chain said, Christ's war is to be preferred to the devil's feast.

And if Christ is in here, he'll disturb you till the day you die, if he's in there. If he's not in there, if he's just a profession to you, if he's just somebody you hope will keep you out of hell and leave you alone while you live, you'll never know what I'm talking about. You'll not know anything about disturbance.

But if Christ is in you, he's holy, and he'll disturb you. You know what it is to cry for forgiveness every day, brother. You know what it is to pour out your heart about your sins.

The reason you don't think you're a big sinner is because Christ isn't in there. You see, Christ isn't in there. What's the awful price you pay for listening to false preachers who show up at your judgment? In that day, my Lord said, I'm quoting from this passage of scripture, and I'm through.

In that day, many shall say unto me, Lord, Lord. They're on this broad road. They got there listening to these false preachers.

Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord. You must have made a mistake, have we not, in thy name? Look what we've done. Well, that's fine.

There's one little thing wrong with it. They did it. He never had done anything to them.

Look at it! Lord, Lord! Just look at it. In thy name we've done many wonderful things. In thy name we've prophesied.

In thy name we've cast out demons. And then the Lord shall look at them and say, depart from them, you workers of iniquity. I never at any time knew that's the price people will pay for listening to false preachers going through a wide gate of easy believism, walking a broad road that doesn't bring you under Christ's discipline every blessed day of your life.

That's the price the youngsters writing notes while the preacher preaches will pay. So help me, God, at the judgment. At once, I never knew.

My Lord said, beware of false preachers.
