That They Might All Be One 10

We will use the terms the word and the

truth interchangeably.

What work did Jesus finish ?

Jesus prayer in John 17 was to insure that the

work that he did would stay intact. The only

way that it would stay intact is if they

promoted and embraced the unity that was

between the Father and the Son.


3/40


Jesus said this unity was imperative in the

world believing that he was real in time space

history.

The battles we face are in direct conflict with

this prayer. They are about disrupting the

unity of believers in Jesus and His word, or His

doctrine or The Truth.


4/40


The Battlefront

1. Interpretation Do we realize the realitythat when God gave us His word that in order

to transcend time, civilizations, cultures, thatit had to remain absolute. It couldnt change

with fads, creeds, cultures, religion but had tobe able to withstand all of these obstacles.

It had to withstand personality differences,conflict and scrutiny from the secular world.


5/40


I want you to meditate in the word, and I wantyou to study but I want you to be able to askquestions, you must ask questions and we mustprovide a platform for those questions.

What do we believe, we dont want you to beignorant or passive in your understanding of theTruth. It isnt just be quiet and do as I say, nor is it

just do as you will.

These are the basic tenets that we embrace forsimple and quick overview in searching for achurch that teaches truth.


6/40


2. Spiritual Confusion occurs when the truth is

applied or taught in error, for personal gain or

demonic intention. This confusion is

diametrically opposed to the unity Jesus

prayed for, for it was in this truth that unity

had to be visible for the world to see.

a. The church becomes ineffective andridiculous when this truth isnt propogated.


7/40


God eternal plan allocated for a time of dark

ages, but the Word doesnt prophesy of

another dark ages but of a glorious, victorious

church.

These are the some of the New Testament

warnings concerning doctrinal unity.

1 Corinthians 15:12 (KJV)

12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from

the dead, how say some among you that there

is no resurrection of the dead?

2 Corinthians 11:1-4 (KJV)

1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly:and indeed bear with me.

2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I haveespoused you to one husband, that I may present you

as a chaste virgin to Christ.3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled

Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should becorrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whomwe have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit,which ye have not received, or another gospel, whichye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.


10/40

2 Corinthians 11:12-15 (KJV)

12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasionfrom them which desire occasion; that wherein theyglory, they may be found even as we.

13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into anangel of light.

15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also betransformed as the ministers of righteousness; whoseend shall be according to their works.


11/40

Galatians 1:6-9

6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him thatcalled you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7Which is not another; but there be some that troubleyou, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach anyother gospel unto you than that which we havepreached unto you, let him be accursed.

9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preachany other gospel unto you than that ye have received,let him be accursed.


12/40

Galatians 5:7-12

7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should notobey the truth?

8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will

be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth youshall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I

yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the crossceased.12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.


13/40

Philippians 3:19-21

19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their

belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who

mind earthly things.)

20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence

also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be

fashioned like unto his glorious body, accordingto the working whereby he is able even to subdue

all things unto himself.


14/40

Colossians 2:4-8

4And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticingwords.

5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in thespirit, joying and beholding your order, and thestedfastness of your faith in Christ.

6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walkye in him:

7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as yehave been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vaindeceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments ofthe world, and not after Christ.


15/40

Colossians 2:20-23

20Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from therudiments of the world, why, as though living inthe world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the

commandments and doctrines of men?23Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in

will worship, and humility, and neglecting of thebody: not in any honour to the satisfying of theflesh.


16/40

1 Timothy 4:1-3

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in thelatter times some shall depart from the faith,giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of

devils;2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscienceseared with a hot iron;

3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain

from meats, which God hath created to bereceived with thanksgiving of them which believeand know the truth.


17/40

2 Timothy 3:5-13

5Having a form of godliness, but denying the powerthereof: from such turn away.

6For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, ledaway with divers lusts,

7Ever learning, and never able to come to theknowledge of the truth.

8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, sodo these also resist the truth: men of corruptminds, reprobate concerning the faith.


18/40

2 Timothy 3:5-13 (KJV) Contd.

9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly

shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner

of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,

patience,

11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at

Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions Iendured: but out of them all the Lord delivered

me.


19/40

2 Timothy 3:5-13 (KJV) Contd.

12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus

shall suffer persecution.

13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse

and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.


20/40

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3For the time will come when they will not

endure sound doctrine; but after their own

lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;4And they shall turn away their ears from the

truth, and shall be turned unto fables.


21/40

2 Peter 2 (KJV)

1But there were false prophets also among the people,even as there shall be false teachers among you, whoprivily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denyingthe Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves

swift destruction.2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason

of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words

make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of along time lingereth not, and their damnationslumbereth not.


22/40

2 Peter 2 (KJV) Contd.

4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but castthem down to hell, and delivered them into chains ofdarkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah theeighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing inthe flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha intoashes condemned them with an overthrow, making

them an ensample unto those that after should liveungodly;


23/40


7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy

conversation of the wicked:

8(For that righteous man dwelling among them,

in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul

from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out

of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto

the day of judgment to be punished:


24/40


10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in thelust of uncleanness, and despise government.Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are notafraid to speak evil of dignities.

11Whereas angels, which are greater in power andmight, bring not railing accusation against thembefore the Lord.

12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be

taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things thatthey understand not; and shall utterly perish intheir own corruption;


25/40


13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, asthey that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselveswith their own deceivings while they feast with you;

14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease fromsin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they haveexercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,

following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, wholoved the wages of unrighteousness;


26/40


16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb assspeaking with man's voice forbad the madness ofthe prophet.

17

These are wells without water, clouds that arecarried with a tempest; to whom the mist ofdarkness is reserved for ever.

18For when they speak great swelling words of

vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh,through much wantonness, those that were cleanescaped from them who live in error.


27/40


19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are theservants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, ofthe same is he brought in bondage.

20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the worldthrough the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour JesusChrist, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, thelatter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21For it had been better for them not to have known the wayof righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turnfrom the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow thatwas washed to her wallowing in the mire.


28/40

1 John 2:18-27 (KJV)

18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye haveheard that antichrist shall come, even now arethere many antichrists; whereby we know that itis the last time.

19They went out from us, but they were not of us;for if they had been of us, they would no doubthave continued with us: but they went out, thatthey might be made manifest that they were not

all of us.20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye

know all things.


29/40

1 John 2:18-27 (KJV) Contd.

21I have not written unto you because ye knownot the truth, but because ye know it, andthat no lie is of the truth.

22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus isthe Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth theFather and the Son.

23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hathnot the Father: he that acknowledgeth theSon hath the Father also.


30/40

1 John 2:18-27 (KJV) Contd.

24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard fromthe beginning. If that which ye have heard from thebeginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in theSon, and in the Father.

25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, eveneternal life.

26These things have I written unto you concerning them thatseduce you.

27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in

you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as thesame anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, andis no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide inhim.


31/40

1 John 4:1-3 (KJV)

1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spiritswhether they are of God: because many falseprophets are gone out into the world.

2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that

confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh isof God:

3And every spirit that confesseth not that JesusChrist is come in the flesh is not of God: and this

is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heardthat it should come; and even now already is it inthe world.


32/40

Jude 1:13-19 (KJV)

13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their ownshame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved theblackness of darkness for ever.

14And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam,

prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lordcometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince allthat are ungodly among them of all their ungodly

deeds which they have ungodly committed, andof all their hard speeches which ungodly sinnershave spoken against him.


33/40

Jude 1:13-19 (KJV) Contd.

16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after theirown lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swellingwords, having men's persons in admiration because ofadvantage.

17But, beloved, remember ye the words which werespoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18How that they told you there should be mockers in thelast time, who should walk after their own ungodly

lusts.19These be they who separate themselves, sensual,

having not the Spirit.


34/40


Prophecy concerning demise 1 Corinthians 13.8-11 Charity never faileth: but whether there beprophecies, they shall fail; whether there betongues, they shall cease; whether there be

knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know inpart, and we prophesy in part. But when thatwhich is perfect is come, then that which is inpart shall be done away. When I was a child, I

spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thoughtas a child: but when I became a man, I put awaychildish things.


35/40


Isaiah 28.9 Whom shall he teach knowledge?

And whom shall he make to understand

doctrine? Them that are weaned from the

milk, and drawn from the breasts. For preceptmust be upon precept, precept upon precept;

line upon line, line upon line; here a little , and

there a little: for with stammering lips andanother tongue will he speak to this people

From Reformation to Revival

The Enemy plants his seed, for we seeEnlightenment paralelling Reformation

I believe the final act is upon us, the unity that weare speaking of will return power to the churchand the signs that follow. The prophetic flow ofcome let us turn our faces thitherward towardsZion is a spiritual call going out by the Holy

Spirit, just as the Spirit gathered all those tosafety in the ark, so it will be in the cominggeneration.


37/40


3. Humanism or the rise of rational man in the

sense of autonomous or self governed.

a. Isaiah 59.14-16 Judgment is turned away

backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truthis fallen in the street, and equity (impartial

justice, fair dealings) cannot enter. Yea truth

faileth; and he that departeth from evil makethhimself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it

displeased him that there was no judgment.


38/40


b. The nature of the church is not legislative it isjudicial is the sense of discernment of the applicationof truth.

Legislative thinking has to do with democracy,

autocracy, we are members of a kingdom, wherekingdom laws are given by a Sovereign King, his wordbecomes the law. It is this truth and his words that aresettled forever in heaven.

The church has the special privilege of knowing and

experiencing these kingdom principles because theyare the very words and truths that will judge and rulethe earth one day.


39/40


I am not afraid of reason or dialectical

thinking, or the attack on absolutes,

I am not afraid of science, evolution or the

beginning of man

I am not afraid of physiology or behavioral

sciences

I am not afraid of naturalist, or

environmentalist


40/40


I am not afraid of the coming one worldgovernment, the mark of the beast, or theWorld Council of Churches in the role of

ecuminism I am afraid of not humbling ourselves before

the hand of God and not finishing the workahead of us.

In short, I am afraid of a self governed peoplecalling themselves the ecclesia of God..
