Transcript: Bible Famine: Searching for God's Word in a Hungry World

The There is a time coming very soon when the great God Jehovah, creator of heaven and earth, will withdraw his supernatural power from the living word of Holy Scripture, leaving it void and empty of his spirit's life-giving influence in the ministry of a majority of those who preach and teach the gospel of truth. You say, oh, that is a strong statement. Are you sure about that? Please turn to our opening scripture today in Amos chapter 8, verse 11, and let's see what the prophet declared in this word inspired by the Holy Spirit thousands of years ago. He declares, shall not find it. No hambre de pan ni sed de agua, sino de oír la palabra del Señor. Y vagarán de mar a mar, y de norte hasta el oriente. Andarán de aquí para allá en busca de la palabra del Señor, pero no la encontrarán. When the prophet pronounced these words before the people in his day, it was a prophecy for that time in part. But yet the greater fulfillment of this prophecy was for a later time in history, like in our day today. Cuando el profeta pronunció estas palabras ante la gente en su día, fue una profecía para ese tiempo en parte, pero sin embargo, el mayor cumplimiento de esta profecía fue para un tiempo posterior en la historia como nuestro día de hoy. Amos was a shepherd prophet in the Old Testament who openly condemned the people of the Northern Kingdom of Israel for their sinful worship of idols and also for their corruption and oppression of the poor. Amos fue un profeta pastor del Antiguo Testamento que abiertamente denunció o condenó al pueblo del Reino del Norte de Israel por su culto pecaminoso a los ídolos y también por su corrupción y opresión de los pobres. By vocation, this prophet Amos claimed to be nothing but a herdsman and one who attended sycamore trees when addressed as one who gave him the authority to speak. He said, his right came from the highest authority of all. He said, the Lord took me as I followed the flock. and the Lord said to me, go prophesy to my people Israel. It seems all through history, since the time God brought his people out of Egypt, wherever there was trouble and persecution, people had slipped back into the ways that were contrary to God's precepts and ordinances. They inevitably sought God out with tears, fasting and pleading for his help to rescue them from their troubles and woes. Our modern day example of this would be in the 9-11 bombing of the Twin Towers in New York City. The churches were full for several months until things calmed down, and until the fear of more trouble to come had subsided, people then stopped going to church and began to return back to their comfortable worldly ways. They forgot about God again. Could we say, people just use God in times of emergency and trouble? full de sus vidas mundanas, se olvidaron de Dios otra vez. Podríamos decir que la gente solo usa Dios en momentos de emergencias o aprietos. The theme of Amos' message was that Israel had rejected the one true God and began to worship the false gods of the people they lived around. El tema del mensaje de Amos era que Israel había rechazado el único Dios verdadero y Y comenzaron a adorar a Dios falso de los pueblos que vivían a su alrededor. Today, in this world, there are so many idols and troubles which distract people from biblical mandate for all Christians, and that is to seek the Lord with all of our hearts, all of our minds, with all of our entire being. So once again, the fear and trauma of the explosion and horrible news of the needless death society, people went back to tending to their idols and forgot their renewed commitments and vows to God. In the world of today, there are so many idols and problems that distract people from the biblical mandate, for all Christians, which is to seek the Lord with all our heart, toda nuestra mente con todo nuestro ser. Así que una vez que el miedo y el trauma de las explosiones y las horribles noticias de las muertes innecesarias se calmaron, la gente volvió a atender a sus ídolos y olvidó sus renovados compromisos y votos a Dios. Amos also condemned the wealthy class of the nation for cheating the poor through oppressive taxes and the use of false weights and measures. Does this sound familiar in our present day and year of September 4th, 2021, with the political ruling administration in our United States of America? Amos, the prophet, urged the people to turn from their wicked ways and to acknowledge God as their maker and redeemer and to restore justice and righteousness in their dealings with others. el profeta Amos instó a la gente a apartarse de sus malos caminos y a reconocer a Dios como su Hacedor y Redentor y restaurar la justicia y la ley en su trato con los demás but the almighty God will teach us the worth and privilege of his truth of his presence and his power by depriving us of it because people by the millions have denied and rejected him and his son, Jesus Christ, gospel of salvation, not only in this nation, but also every nation of the world. Pero el Dios Todopoderoso nos enseñará el valor y privilegio de su verdad, de su presencia y de su poder, privándonos de ella, because millions of people have denied him and rejected him and his son, Jesus Christ, and the gospel of salvation, not only in this nation, but also in every nation in this land. So it was for the people then in Amos' day, and so it will be for those of us who live today in this modern society, especially in the United States of America, where we have been given so much and blessed beyond measure compared to other nations around the world. The gospel of God's salvation, The very word of God that brings life and peace is often used figuratively as the emblem of water. The word of God has a purifying effect from all uncleanness, and it has a refreshing, a reviving, and a healing effect for even the weakest spirit, if they will only incline their ear to hear it and also practice it. The gospel of God, the same word that brings life and peace, is used in a figurative sense of water. La palabra de Dios tiene un efecto purificador de toda inmundicia y tiene un efecto refrescante, revividor y sanador, incluso para los más débiles de espíritu, si solo inclinan su oído para escucharla y también la practican. The gospel has substance and it often is likened in scripture as a symbol of bread. El Evangelio tiene sustancia y a menudo es comparado en las escrituras como el símbolo de pan. Jesus said in John chapter 6 verse 48, I am the bread of life that gives life, the living bread. Your forefathers ate manna in the wilderness and yet they died. But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and never die. I myself am this living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and also the bread that I shall give, for the life of the world is my flesh body. Jesús dijo en el capítulo 6, versículo 48, I am the bread of life. Vuestros padres comieron el maná en el desierto y murieron. Este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que el que coma de él no muera. I am the bread of life. I am the bread of life. I am the bread of life. If someone comes of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread of life is my bread. The bread and water which Jesus speaks of here signifies all of the rich blessings of salvation, dear church. The bread is the word of God, and the water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit who gives life to the very word of God. El pan y el agua de vida de los cuales Jesús habló aquí significa todas las ricas bendiciones de la salvación, querida iglesia. The threatened famine of which Prophet Amos was speaking of was a shortage for lack of God's heavenly manna, which again is speaking of his word. The unadulterated gospel message is God's truth, and it is by this truth that all people may be saved from the fiery pit of hell. El mensaje del Evangelio no adulterado es la verdad de Dios, y es a través de esta verdad que todo el pueblo puede ser salvado de las llamas del infierno. When God withdraws the living power and the influence of his precious Holy Spirit, so that his power does not accompany the word, then there is a void, a drought, and powerlessness in the ministry of the word and in the church. This powerlessness is like a blight, which is like a disease to plants. As a young girl growing up on a farm ranch in Montana, I would see this occurrence regarding a dying plant in our garden. Sometimes the whole plant would perish or die, and or sometimes only its leaves and blossoms would shrivel up and die as if they were scorched by too much heat. All of this in regards to blight or disease will prevent the plant from growing and eventually then it would die. flores se marchitaban y morían como si se quemara con exceso de calor todo esto en lo que respecta a la plaga o la enfermedad evitará que la planta crezca y eventualmente entonces moriría with this abstract example we can then see how the truths of the precious doctrines in scripture are greatly corrupted or maligned and perverted by those who were working as agents of Satan in the church in the past and also in our day to day, and how this prophesied famine which our prophet speaks of could come about ever so subtly. Con este ejemplo abstracto podemos ver entonces como las verdades de las doctrinas preciosas in the scriptures are greatly corrupted or defamed and perverted by those who are working as agents of Satan in the church, in our past and in our present day. And how this hambrun of the prophet that our prophet speaks could come so subtly. As was mentioned, we have seen this in part throughout scripture. When God's people turn their backs on him, their backs on him and did what was right in their own eyes and also in the times that we know as the dark ages. The dark ages was a period of time of about 400 years between the old and the new testament. Como se mencionó, hemos visto esto en parte a través de la escritura cuando la gente de Dios le dio la espalda e hizo lo que era correcto a sus propios ojos y también en in the times of the Old Testament. The Old Testament was the time period of approximately 400 years between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Today we see the disobedience of time over these past years emerging into what Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 And this was a time regarding the last days in the tribulation that would be a result of wickedness of man and also the betrayal of multitudes of millions professing Christians in this day. Today in the year of 2021, we see such a blatant disregard for the sanctity of life, for property of others, and even the rights of others, which manifests itself in betrayal, in hatred, and disrespect of one's own fellow man, and more so for the great creator of the universe who spoke all things into existence. Hoy, en este año del 2021, vemos tal descarado desprecio por la santidad de la vida, the property and even the rights of others that are manifested in the trailing, in the hatred and the disgrace for the people and even for the great creator of the universe who spoke all things to existence. Disease, war, and violent crimes around the world by militant groups are increasing in epidemic proportions. The whole world is being trained and disciplined to disregard the life and rights of their fellow human beings. Las enfermedades, la guerra y los crímenes violentos en todo el mundo por parte de grupos militantes están aumentando en proporciones epidémicas. El mundo entero está siendo entrenado y disciplinado para ignorar la vida y los derechos de sus semejantes. When we see a plandemic which is orchestrated by evil people around the world with a plan to depopulate the earth by germ warfare, we see the inhumane, heartless, Satan-worshipping effects of death which are reported in every nation due to the vaccines which are loaded with dangerous toxins meant to destroy innocent people. I am very saddened and righteously angry when I tell you that we have many churches, yes, in the United States of America, who encourage people to have these vaccines and even provide the vaccines at their churches. I am very sad and I feel a holy anger when I tell you that we have many churches in the United States that exhort people to put these vaccines and even provide the vaccines in their churches. The reason for this accommodation, for complying with the government demands to vaccinate every person in the United States and her territories, is because their churches get paid by the government for doing so. They are paid by your tax dollars. The reason why churches are paid with the demands of the government to vaccinate each person in the United States and their territories is because these churches are paid by the government to do it. They are paid with your taxes. Thousands of church members in the United States and her territories have complied because people were told they cannot come to church unless they are vaccinated. Money talks, but to those churches who have compromised their membership, life is cheap. Miles de miembros de la iglesia en los Estados Unidos y sus territorios han cooperado porque al pueblo se les dijo que no pueden venir a la iglesia a menos que sean vacunados. El dinero habla, pero para aquellas iglesias que han comprometido su membresía, la vida es baja. When we live in a world that allows the murder of over 55 million unborn children every year, this echoes the message that life is cheap and without value. Cuando vivimos en un mundo que permite el asesinato de más de 55 millones de niños por nacer cada año, esto se hace eco del mensaje de que la vida es baja y sin valor. Stay with me when I have more to say. When we see an increase in euthanasia and other forms of so-called mercy killings, this becomes more acceptable by all people around the world. Then we know we have lost our respect for human life. It has been written in the news that the elderly, mentally handicapped, children born with mongoloism and others, to prevent them from being a drain on society because they are not productive to society any longer. Se ha escrito en las noticias que los ancianos, los incapacitados mentales, los niños nacidos con mongolismo y otros con incapacidad de aprendizaje deberían ser exterminados para evitar que sean un drenaje en la sociedad porque ya no son productivos para la sociedad. When the world accepts the horrendous notion that man evolved from the lower life forms, and that when he dies he is no different from a dog that merely goes into the grave when it dies, then it becomes easy to take lives or tell people that they just need to commit suicide. that simply goes to the tomb when he dies. So it's easy to think and take away life and tell people that they just need to be suicidated. I'm not done yet, and this might make many of you listening very angry with me. We see today where human affections are being ridiculously lavished upon pets. It is disgusting to see signs in the back window of cars saying, I am a proud dog mom or I am a proud cat mom. Also, there is a concern, over-concern, of animals experiencing pain when they are killed for human consumption. A little girl, 10 years of age, was heard saying that she didn't want to go fishing with her grandfather when she was coming to visit him. He asked her why. She said, because it hurts the fish. This is a kind of indoctrination that little children are learning in school today. that children are learning in school today. This ideology is mounting up by those who are manipulating and steering and controlling a society. This is called communism or Marxism. We comment so many times that the concern and outrage for the millions of aborted babies every year gets few if any crowds of rightfully angered protesters in the street of every nation around the world. multitud de manifestantes legítimamente enojados en la calle de cada nación alrededor del mundo. Today as well, millions of little children and babies are kidnapped and sacrificed to Luciferian devil worship by the sick-minded elite people around the world. These psychotic, demented people use God's innocent human creation for their evil, perverted satisfaction. The body parts of these precious little ones who have been victims of murder and never had a chance in life are used in foods and cosmetics and many other products. Do your own research on this subject. Hoy también millones de niños y bebés son secuestrados y sacrificados a la adoración del diablo luciferino por la gente de la elite de todo el mundo. Where is the righteous anger for these acts? of violence and misuse of life for God's precious masterpiece called humankind? Jesus said in Matthew 24 that wickedness and the love of sin would increase in the last days. Are you personally beginning to see this for yourself? ¿Dónde está la ira santa por estos actos de violencia y mal uso de la vida de la preciosa obra maestra de Dios llamada la humanidad? Jesus dijo en Mateo 24 que la maldad y el amor del pecado aumentaría en los últimos días. Estás empezando a ver esto por ti mismo. God's word tells us that even during the days of the tribulation, there will be an increase in man's attraction to the indulgence of sin. After the true church which is made up of genuine and real Christians is removed at the time of the rapture, all restraints on society will be removed as well. There will no longer be the presence of a people who are filled with the Spirit of God. There will no longer be a people crying out to God in prayer for society or for their neighbors and families. Ya no habrá la presencia de un pueblo lleno de Espíritu de Dios. Ya no habrá un pueblo clamando a Dios en oración por la sociedad o por sus vecinos y familia. The world and multitudes of millions of those who profess to be Christians but do not live according to the integrity of God's word will continue to fall into hell because they followed sins, dictates, and all the power of it keeps them craving for more. In Romans chapter 1, beginning in verse 24, Apostle Paul declared, Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their own hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, abandoning them to the degrading power of sin, because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who is blessed forever. Amen. So it be. El mundo y multitud de millones de aquellos que profesan ser cristianos pero no viven de acuerdo a la integridad de la palabra de Dios continuarán cayendo al infierno porque siguen los dictados de los pecados y todo el poder que posee el pecado los mantiene ansiosos por más de él. Romanos 1.24 Amen. We see how close we are when we read 2 Timothy chapter 3, beginning in verse 1, which declares this statement to be true and without dispute. The scripture reads, But understand this, that in the last days will come perilous times of great distress and trouble, hard to deal with, hard to bear. For people will be lovers of self, utterly self-centered lovers of money, aroused by inordinate greed, desire for wealth, proud and arrogant, and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive, blasphemous, scoffing, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, and profane. Verse 3. They will be without natural human affection, callous and inhuman, relentless, admitting no truce or appeasement. They will be slanders, false accusers, troublemakers, intemperate, and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. Verse 4. They will be treacherous, betrayers, rash, and inflated with self-conceit. They will be lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. Verse 5. And remember this, that in the last few days will come dangerous times, of great stress and difficult problems to deal with and difficult problems to deal with. Because men will be loved by themselves, loved by money, and despertated by a desire of wealth, proud and arrogant, and despicable, and abusing, disobedient, and profaned, and in effect natural, implacable, calumniers. 4. Please understand that by recent polls today here in the United States, we have 85% of the population claiming to be Christians. But when we look at the following numbers, we can only scratch our heads and say, please tell me how this can be possible when it doesn line up with God holy word How can it be that when 62 of all Americans believe that the Bible is not totally true or that 85 claim to be Christians How can it be when 75 of Christians do not believe in the existence of a personal real devil? How can it be when pornography earns an estimated 14 billion dollars per year in the United States alone. How can it be when 1.5 million unborn babies are aborted in the country in the name of convenience and the betterment of society? Where is the righteous anger? Pero cuando miramos los siguientes números solo podemos mover nuestras cabezas y decir, por favor dime cómo esto puede ser posible when it does not align with the Holy Spirit of God? How can it be when the 62% of all the estadounidenses think that the Bible is not totally true or that the 85% say to be Christian? How can it be when the 75% of the estadounidenses don't believe in the existence of a real demon? How can it be when the pornography gana un estimado de 14 millones de dólares al año solo en los estados unidos como puede ser eso cuando 1.5 millones de bebés no nacidos son abortados en el país en nombre de la conveniencia y el mejoramiento de la sociedad donde está la ira santa how can it be that when 85 percent of America's population claims to be a Christian when the rate of premarital sexual activity in the church is the same as that in the world. The records show that the divorce rate is dropping, and the reason for that is because marriage rate is dropping too, and today people in the United States are just living together in their abominable sin. It is a fact also that 63% of pastors in a recent poll admitted to being hooked on pornography, 68% of the church-going men and over 50% of pastors view pornography on a regular basis, and of young Christian adults, 18 to 24 years old, 76, hear it again, 76% actively search for pornography. How can it be true that 85% of the population of the United States is a Christian when the rate of sexual sexual prematrimonial in the church is the same as the world? The statistics show that the divorce is falling, and the reason for that is because the rate of marriage is falling. And today the people in the United States only are living together in their miserable sin. It is also a fact that 63% of the actors in a recent review admit to be engaged in pornography. The 68% of the men who go to church and more than 50% of the actors are in pornography regularly. regularmente, de los adultos cristianos jóvenes de 18 a 24 años, el 76%, y repito, el 76% busca activamente pornografía. Can we begin to see why all that has been discussed up until this point is the reason that a famine of God's word is now? Many denominations in the visible and secular church today teach that there is more than one way to God besides Jesus Christ. But Jesus said in John chapter 14 verse 6, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but through me. And also Apostle Paul said in Acts chapter 4 verse 12, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Podemos ver que por todo lo discutido hasta el momento, la razón porque hay una escasez o hambre de la palabra de Dios hoy día, podemos ver por todo lo discutido hasta el momento, la razón porque hay una escasez o hambre de la palabra de Dios hoy día. Muchas denominaciones in the visible and secular today teach that there is more than a way to God besides Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14, 6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes from the Father but for me. Also in Acts 4, 12, and in any other there is salvation because there is no other name below the sky given the men in which we can be saved. There is no other way to be saved and enter into heaven but by and through Jesus Christ. The Muslims, the Buddhists, the Taoists or any other false religion cannot be saved and enter into heaven without being saved by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Simply said, all must come through Jesus. No hay otra manera de ser salvos y entrar al cielo sino es por medio de Jesucristo. los musulmanes, los budistas, los taoístas u otras religiones falsas no pueden ser salvados y entrar al cielo sin la preciosa sangre de Jesucristo simplemente dicho todos deben pasar por Jesús Jesus tells us in Matthew's Gospel chapter 7 verses 13 and 14 enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. Verse 14, But the gate is narrow, contracted by pressure, and the way is straightened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. Jesus nos dijo en el Evangelio de Mateo, capítulo 7, versículo 13, Entrad por la puerta estrecha, This is the straight and narrow way that Jesus was speaking of. Most walk past the straight and narrow gate and mock it or avoid it because they see no reason to change their ways. And besides that, this path of life a true Christian clings to takes effort and commitment. Este es el camino angosto y estrecho del que Jesús estaba hablando. La mayoría pasa por el lado de la puerta recta y estrecha y se burlan, o le evitan porque no ven ninguna razón para cambiar sus caminos. And also, this is the path of life to which a true Christian is attached, is committed, is committed, is committed. But I say, what kind of perverse sexual thoughts run through their minds which condemn them? What kind of spiritual fruit do these kind of people produce? Do they demonstrate the love to him, to Christ, and kindness to others which Jesus talked about, that comes from him alone, and of which he tells us in John chapter 15, verse 4? abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine and neither can you unless you abide in me hay muchos que guardan sus viejos caminos y sus pecados habituales porque se han engañado pensando que han entrado en esta puerta estrecha y angosta mucha gente que pretende ser creyente que dice que no fuman que no usan droga que no van a bares o a beber que no fornican that are enough good for their standards. But I say, what kind of sexual thinking and perverse has caused their mind that they condemn? What kind of spiritual fruit produces this people? They show love and love to others, which Jesus spoke to them and tells them in Juan 15, verse 4, remain in me and I in you. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto por sí mismo si no permanece en David, así tampoco vosotros si no permanecéis en mí. What this essentially is saying is we all believe in the same God, and also there are many ways to heaven. Hoy en la iglesia apóstata secular vemos y oímos de enseñanzas que afirman que no hay absolutos entre el bien y el mal. Tienen una mezcla en sus sistemas de creencias. Vemos mensajes pegados en los autos que dicen coexiste y exhiben símbolos de cada creencia religiosa en la tierra y lo que esencialmente está diciendo es, todos creemos en el mismo Dios y también hay muchos caminos al cielo. You see, moral relativism is the norm in society in the world. Moral relativism is a doctrine which says there are no absolute truths or value. This, in essence, is saying whatever feels good or right is okay. But God's word in Exodus chapter 20, beginning in verse 1, speaks of these moral absolutes and talk about the Ten Commandments. You see, without moral absolutes, no one can say anything right or wrong. Everything is okay. The doctrine of moral relativism teaches that knowledge and truth and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical content, and are not absolute. El relativismo moral es la norma de la sociedad en el mundo. El relativismo moral es una doctrina que dice, no hay verdades ni valores absolutos. Esto en esencia es decir, lo que se siente bien es correcto, eso va. But the word of God in Exodus 20, verse 1, speaks of these absolute morals of the Ten Commandments. Without absolute morals, nobody can say that something is okay or wrong. Everything is okay. The doctrine of moral relativism teaches that the knowledge, the truth and the moralities exist in relation to the culture, the society or the historical context, and they are not absolute. Lo que se siente bien o es correcto es relativo a nuestro mundo moderno. or time for evangelism to go forth. The apostate secular church preaches moralism instead of Christ-centered messages. Dios dice en Proverbios 28, 2, Cuando hay podredumbre moral dentro de una nación, su gobierno se derrumba fácilmente. Pero con líderes honestos y sensatos hay estabilidad. The Apostate Church teaches about doing nice things and says that we should be nice and good and happy, but avoids the true message of salvation. This sounds like the New Age belief system to me. La Iglesia de Apostasía enseña acerca de hacer buenas obras y dice que debemos ser buenos, amables y felices, pero evita el verdadero mensaje de salvación. Esto suena para mí como el sistema de creencia de la nueva era. God's holy word lays out clearly the right moral standard for his people to live by. You see, being nice and doing good works does not glorify the one who died for us, but rather glorifies the one doing the good deeds. Even though many of these do-gooders may now and then mention or throw in the name of Jesus, or even teach the message of the cross, and even profess that Jesus is the only way by which anyone can go to heaven, Jesus says, you will know them by their fruit. La Santa Palabra de Dios establece claramente el estándar moral correcto para que su pueblo viva por él. Ya ves, ser agradable y hacer buenas obras no glorifica al que murió por nosotros, sino más bien glorifica al que hace las buenas obras. A pesar de que muchos de estos hacedores de bien pueden de vez en cuando mencionar o declarar el nombre de Jesús, o enseñar el mensaje de la cruz, e incluso profesar que Jesús es el único camino por el cual cualquiera puede ir al cielo, Jesús dice, por sus frutos los conoceréis. You must be aware that many who look good and have influenced multitudes of millions of people throughout the generations and have glowing reputations around the world fall into this category of apostate wolves who have and are devouring the sheep. Debe ser consciente de que muchos que se ven bien y han afluido multitudes de millones de personas a lo largo de las generaciones y tienen una reputación brillante alrededor del mundo caen en esta categoría de lobos apóstatas que están devorando a las ovejas. The turn and twist in megachurches is that their theology is more inspirational rather than theological, with the strong emphasis on self-help in the feel-good tradition of Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Shuler. Joel Osteen is a prime example of this type. Osteen leads a 48,000 membership in Houston, Texas, with millions around the world who regularly listen to him. He is only one kind of word, faith, prosperity, gospel, purpose-driven, emergent, occultic, new age, secular, apostate church. Joel Austin is a perfect example of this type. Austin is a church of 48,000 members in Houston, Texas, with millions of people in the world who listen to it regularly. He is an example of the gospel of prosperity, of the word of faith, of the emerging purpose and of an apostasy secular church of the New Era and of the occultism. This is the reason why the great fall of the Church, of which Apostle Paul spoke in 2 Thessalonians, and the spiritual hambrun of the word that the prophet Amos prophesied and that is happening in our midst today. Osteen talks about love, but he neglects the issue of sin. This man was guilty of even saying that there was more than one way to heaven than through Jesus Christ. When Jesus clearly says, I am the way and the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by me. Paul declared in 2 Thessalonians 2, verse 3, Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first unless the predicted falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come and the man of lawlessness of sin is revealed who is the son of doom of perdition Pablo declaró en 2 Thessalonicenses 2.3, Nadie os engañe en ninguna manera, porque no vendrá sino que antes venga la apostasía. La gran caída de la iglesia predicha de los que han profesado ser cristianos, y se manifieste el hombre de pecado, el hijo de perdición. You see, these warnings of our apostle and the former prophets and apostles were overall for our day today too. What about condemning the sins of society? Christians should not be ashamed or intimidated by the world when it comes to condemning sin. Estas advertencias de nuestro apóstol y de los antiguos profetas fueron nuestro día de hoy también. We have seen when some dear pastors or Christian leaders condemn a sin in the world like abortion, they are character assassinated and viciously attacked. true believers have to know that we are not silenced by accusing voices we are not accountable to them because we answer to god alone for the truth los verdaderos creyentes tienen que saber So many churches use a book or a movie to teach Bible study from. Mind you, these books or movies come with a booklet in the form of a Bible study, and this is the central source of their spiritual truth, which is not necessarily about the Bible, but the writing of some man or woman that come close to some truths in the scripture. The Bible takes a secondary position, and the word is watered down. So what we have is known as synthesis. Thesis is the truth of God, and when an untruth is added to a doctrine, it is known as antithesis. So this combination becomes known as synthesis, which is a mix of the truth and untruth. And this is what is called a watering down of the truth of scripture today. The Bible takes a secondary position and the truth is diluted, so what we have is known as synthesis. The thesis is the truth of God, and when a falsehood is added to a doctrine, it is known as antithesis. So this combination is known as synthesis, which is a mix of truth and falsehood. This is what today is called dilute the truth of the scriptures. Believers in Jesus Christ need to be like the Bereans in the scripture, which Paul spoke about in Acts chapter 17, verses 10 and 12. As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. Upon arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. Now, the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Los creyentes en Jesucristo necesitan ser como los Perians en la escritura de la cual Pablo habló en los Hechos capítulo 17 versículo 10. Tan pronto como fue de noche, los hermanos enviaron a Pablo y a Silas a Berea. I believe you should also know and be aware of the fact that most Bibles today are printed in China. Should we, as God's children, believe what comes back to us in the many translations are not being altered and retranslated as far as the Bible truths go?

Supplementing and adding to the word of God as if it was insufficient, or the darkening and perverting it as though man's interpretation was necessary and the Spirit of God was not his own interpreter and revealer of the word. He inspired men to write. And the last one, number five, other man-made instituted rites or sacraments which are exalted above qualifying or teaching and preaching the holy word of God.

When God Almighty withdraws His living power and the precious influence of His Holy Spirit so that His power does not accompany the Word, then there will be a drought and powerlessness in the ministry of His Word and in the Church. The Book of Nahum, chapter 1, verse 2 and 3 declares, The Lord is a jealous and avenging God. And the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power. The Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm. When the God God Almighty revives his power living and the precious influence of his Holy Spirit for his power to not accompany the word, then there will be a secret and impotence in the ministry of his word and in the church. In the book of Nahum 1, verse 2, We have seen that this corruption can be traced and seen throughout the Old and the New Testaments and also in the very day in which we live now called today. Finally, we finish by reading in Psalms chapter 33 beginning in verse 18 those whom the Lord keeps his eyes fixed on and will never leave them nor forsake them in times of trouble. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and on those whose hope is in his unfailing love to deliver them from death and to keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Finalmente, terminamos con el Salmo 33, 18 al 22. Aquellos en quienes el Señor mantiene sus ojos fijos y nunca los dejará ni los abandonará en tiempos difíciles. Dice así, Pero los ojos del Señor están sobre los que le temen, sobre aquellos cuya esperanza está en su amor inagotable, para librarlos de la muerte y mantenerlos vivos en el hambre. Esperamos en la esperanza del Señor. Él es nuestra ayuda y nuestro escudo. En Él se regocija nuestro corazón porque confiamos en su santo nombre. Que tu amor inagotable descanse sobre nosotros, oh Señor, así como ponemos nuestra esperanza en ti. Thank you.
