Summary

Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.

The text: in the last days perilous times shall come

  • This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come — Paul lists the characteristics of humanity in the last days, twenty identifying traits, from lovers of their own selves to lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
  • Cloaked inside the list is a garment of godliness: having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof — a wrapper of godliness around an ungodly inside.
  • And then Paul turns from identifying the world to instructing the church with four simple words: from such turn away.

Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:1-5

Beware of false prophets, which come in sheep's clothing

  • Jesus said, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves — evening wolves that have searched all day long for a prey and devour it even down to the bones.
  • Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves — when the wolf steps on us, we bite him with the word: it is written, it is written, it is written, and the devil will not stay around the preaching of the word.
  • When they tell us Jesus is not the almighty God, the venom is ready: Colossians — for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
  • He started feeding two ducks on his back porch and now there are about thirty: whatever you feed will multiply — so do not feed the wolves; start feeding them and you will have a pack of them, and once the wolf has got you, he is after your wife and your kids.

Scriptures: Matthew 7:15; Matthew 10:16; Colossians 2:9

Take heed: grievous wolves shall enter in among you

  • Paul said, Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood — you just feed them.
  • For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock; also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
  • Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears: the wolves are coming, the wolves are coming.
  • Do not spend your life building something and then leave it to the wolves: what you want in a pastor is somebody who can drive the wolves away — and teach your children that the most important time in the service is when the truth teller is preaching.

Scriptures: Acts 20:28-31

Evening wolves, and a people who burst the bands

  • Zephaniah rebukes a backsliding Jerusalem: Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God — her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves.
  • Jeremiah is sent to run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and seek a man that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth — but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bands.
  • Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, and a leopard shall watch over their cities: when we begin to dress like the world, talk like the world, and untie ourselves from God, the leopard is watching from the woods.
  • You have to take the declaration home with you: do not go from a noisy church to a quiet living room — wolves, you are not welcome in this house.

Scriptures: Zephaniah 3:1-3; Jeremiah 5:1-6

But in the last days, I will pour out of my Spirit

  • Wait a minute — it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams — there is not going to be a shortage of the Holy Ghost in the last days.
  • And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
  • Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts — some of you are less than fifteen feet from the freedom you need; beware of your opportunity, right here, right now.
  • Everybody is worthy of the gospel — in the last days God is pouring out his Spirit on prisoners and prodigals alike: come and get it.

different states one is in Delaware and one is in Kentucky and um sister Ronda is helping out with the one in Kentucky and I haven't got the report yet but my mother-in-law gave me the report said they baptized 44 and 17 receed the Holy Ghost and uh Amanda Sullivan and and her mother sister Lori Hawkins are part of the Dela Delaware princess within it I'm leaving any other names out and I'm the older that I'm getting brother Thorp I'm getting very careful about mentioning names because um I don't have enough friends as it is and I can't afford to lose any friends I have all right so if I if there's somebody's name I left out uh please forgive me but they just tell me that sister Lori and Amanda uh when they get in that uh Correctional Center that they just they've got an anointing that comes upon them and that they Minister and and um that is that's great isn't it amen verse number one this know also that in the last days perilous times shall come for men shall be lovers of their their own selves Covetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful Unholy without natural affection truce Breakers false accusers incontinent Fierce despisers of those that are good traitors heady highminded lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof look at these last four words and I'd like for you to repeat them with me the last four words from such let's say it one more time I want to minister this morning for a few moments aware of our surroundings aware of our surroundings father I thank you today for the privilege to minister your word I thank you today that God you have given not only your word but you have given your spirit I thank you today God for the good people that stand before me both that are in this audience and that are with us on live stream father I pray for every sinner that has not been born again father I pray for every prodal that has lost their way and father I pray for your sons and daughters that are in need to hear from your word today Lord the next few moments if you will anoint me I will be ever so mindful to give you the glory for I ask all these things in jesus' name we pray amen amen won you give the Lord a hand of Praise as you're being seated Lord sure is in this house today aware of our surroundings through the spirit of God the Apostle Paul writes about the conditions of the last days and gives us a description of the overall characteristics of humanity he lists as we read them he lists 20 identifying 20 identifying traits for our benefits as you and I strive together how many still striving amen as we strive against the this ungodly culture let me ask that again how many are still striving against this ungodly culture I am we're also made aware as he lists these 20 characteristics of the personality of the last days and we need not read them again but it starts out with men shall be lovers of their own selves and it ends by saying they were lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God now when I read verses 1- 4 I could could I could see that and understand what Paul was trying to tell as a matter of fact it's interesting to note he writes this to Timothy and uh Timothy his name kind of fits him Timothy is is is is is his name is he's he's he battles with being timid he battles with being timid it's Timothy that Paul had to say uh you know things like uh don't don't let no man despise your Youth and and and he had to really uh keep injecting into Timothy you are a man of God you are a man of God preach like you're a man of God but it's also in Timothy that that verse five sticks out to me because these 20 characteristics says that one of them is that they have a form of godliness they have an appearance they have an appearance of godliness I mean wrapped in all of that lovers of their own selves lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God unthankful Unholy truth Breakers false accusers incontinent Fierce despisers of them that are good traitor heady high- minded cloaked in all of that is a garment of godliness a form a a form a rapper of godliness and then Paul turns from identifying the world to instructing you and I with four simple words from such turn away turn away from them don't allow that influence in your life turn away from that why it's the wrong influence and it's the last days you don't need that influencing your life you don't need that rapper of appearing to be Godly but when you peel the rapper back they're lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God they're Trad they're high minded and the list goes on 20 characteristics and he simply says to you and I and I'm going to listen to him stay away from them turn away from them it's nothing new it's nothing new uh Jesus in the um in the gospels Jesus gives us a warning as a matter of fact Matthew 7:15 listen to the lovely Lamb of God listen to Jesus Christ mat Matthew 7:15 beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves he says not only did Paul say from such turn away they've got a form of godess they've got a wrapper around them why they may even come to church why they may even they may even be seen singing a song Paul said if they've got these traits inside them he says you turn away from them why Church we're in the last days it's all hands on day I mean if you can't look around at the world we're living in and figure out something's got to happen a lot of people say man what in this what in the world what in the world's just coming to it's not what in the world is coming to it's who's coming to this world and we're in the last those old days Paul said that perilous times would come Jesus said Beware of false prophets well how you going to beware of false prophets he said they're going to come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening they are ravening and no see he didn't just say they're wolves I mean a wolf naturally will devour anything but he says there're a ravening wolf that means that wolf has been looking for a prey all day long and in a few moments in my message I'll introduce you to another thing in the Bible there are there there's a certain type of wolf in the Bible that's called the evening wolves the evening wolves these are wolves that have searched all day long for prey and they are hungry salaba is dripping from their jaws they have looked all day long for a prey and they're called the evening wolves when they get a hold of a prey it says it says that when the evening wolves get a hold of the prey that they devour it all up even down to the bones that they will carry off and know on but you know what interesting here when it says beware of false prophets we naturally think of a speaker we think of somebody up on a platform but can I tell you that false prophets come in sheep's clothing they appear to be sheep they appear to be one of you and I have got to come as your pastor this morning in the last days of the perilous times and tell you from such turn away if there's anybody in your life that underneath the rapper of church attendance and underneath the rapper of you know I I really I'm really does you know doesn't matter what's on the outside it's what's on the inside if you've got any of those people in your life I want to be a good pastor to you sister slack and I want to tell you from such turn away you don't need anybody poisoning your life trying to get you to lose faith in God trying to get you to lose faith in God's word you don't need anybody in your life trying try to get you to lose faith in the church Faith in the things of God you you don't know you don't you don't need that in your life Jesus said Beware of false prophets Matthew 7:15 which come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves again in Matthew chap 10: 16 let's look at this let's look at what the Lord says again in Matthew 6 10 and 16 listen to him what he says to you and I behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves the only thing that's going to separate us from the Wolves is the rapture but we don't need to personally have fellowship with the Wolves don't leave them a bowl of water by your front door don't throw the straps out of your back door because I'm going to tell you something the wolves are coming you don't need the Wolves around your house we are going to be in a world where there's wolves but I don't need to feed them I don't need to cuddle them when I find out they have one of those 20 characteristics I'm telling you I'm turning away from them if that means I've got to unfriend them on Facebook if that means I got to delete their contact from my phone I don't want to have anybody in my life that's causing me to doubt God God's word God's people are got why it's the last days he says in verse 16 behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves what do you want me to do Jesus be ye therefore wise as a serpent and is harmless is a do there's two things he mentions here a serpent has poison that's how a serpent defends itself a serpent can't get up and box you a serpent can't get up and fight you has no hands no feet the only way a serpent can bite you is to inject its venom into the blood that's the only way and he said be as wise as a serpent that means when the wolf wants to step on us we need to inject him with our truth Venom the devil won't stay around long when the word is being preached ask Jesus in the wilderness he don't stay around long with his lies and his deception when you just begin to bite him with the word it is written it is written it is written it is written and the Bible said then the devil leaveth him can I tell you when the false Doctrine comes around and begins to tell me that that that Jesus Jesus is not this and Jesus is not that you better get ready I'm going to bite you with the word of God I going to inject the word of God when they want to tell me when they want to tell me that we're in false Doctrine because we believe that Jesus is the almighty God and they want to put him as a second person in the godhead you get ready I got a venom inside of me and I'm going to tell you Colossians for in him dwelleth the fullness of the godhead bodly I'm going to bite you it's the only way it's the only way you can kill a wolf you got to get in his blood don't put him a bowl of water out to your front door don't pull him I I I don't know how many I'm going to tell you something don't mess with them either they're not for hunting they're for my pleasure but the last time I noticed I got about 30 ducks out here now I can't stand the geese all right I can't stand I I used to think they were a beautiful creature till one tried to fog me on my bicycle I was riding to church Zach is the official Undertaker of our family when it comes to animals and but them Ducks I start off with one or two but I go out on the back porch I embarrass the kids to death we were eating at aubre and late at night I'll ask have y'all throwed out all the bread yet oh Dad please don't do that again don't do that y'all throw out the bread they bring me a big old sack of bread they're going to throw it out you know what I bring it home I get on that back deck over at my house and them Ducks know now when that our alarm system our alarm system on my bedroom door opens out to the deck that little high sound you can see them ducks come across that pond you know why they know pajama my man is going to feed them amen they know I'm going to start feeding them Abby I started off with one or two right now I think I got about 30 some OD Ducks over there you know why they're getting fed they're getting fed now I'm going to tell you something I'm G to flip it on you right now you start feeding the wolves get ready for a pack of them you start feeding them wolves get ready for a pack of them cuz once the wolf has got you I'm going to tell you something father once the wolf has got you he's after your wife and after he's got your wife he's after your kids he ain't going to stop until there's not one descendant of your family that comes through an Apostolic church because the wol wants to say I've got this whole line right here but I just believe there's a few hundred people on a Sunday morning that's going to say I'm going to turn away from them I'm going to turn away and if the wolf wants to step on me I'm going to bite him with the Venom and I'm going to kill that wolf now he said be you it's wise as a serpent as a harmless as a you know what a dove is a dove is a beautiful animal and that's what the church is we're such a beautiful animal we're such a beautiful thing when it comes to God we're the Royal diadem in God's eyes we're what he shed his blood for you can talk about the beauty of the angels all you want to but when the Angels fell from heaven not one act of Redemption was ever made to redeem the angel back into heaven but oh when man fell God had a beautiful blood Plan of Redemption to say I I know he's fallen but I'm going to redeem him back up out of sin can I tell you something when it comes to God that's why I'm not interesting how the world thinks or what the world well they they say we look like the Little House on the Prairie and they say we look like this and we look like that who cares who cares what the world they can't even get it together they don't even know if they're male or female or what they're having hangups with their personal pronouns for God's sake let's just be the church what a beautiful thing it is what a beautiful oh I feel a preacher Spirit come on just be the duve just be the dub just be the duve Paul said it acts chapter 20 verse number 28 listen to Paul preaching to the church take heed acts 2028 take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseas overseers feed the Church of God you know what I just kind of

soon can I tell you something today Paul said feed the Church of God which he had purchased with his own blood look at these four words would you say these next four words with me for I know this that after my departing Grievous wolves shall enter in among you not sparing the flock also of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them therefore watch and remember that by the space of three years I cease not to warn War you every to warn everyone night and day look at this with tears with tears Paul's message with tears the woles are coming Paul's message with tears he wasn't concerned with tickling your fancy he wasn't concerned with you leaving saying I feel good about myself the only thing Paul would say the wolves are coming the wolves are coming day and night the Wolves the wolves are coming now here's the tragedy here's the tragedy of this Paul said after I depart the wolves come my thinking is Paul duplicate yourself because it's a tragedy to build something and leave it up to the Wolves to devour I don't want to spend my life building something and fighting off the wolves of worldliness to take me to the cemetery one day and all of a sudden the Devils Rejoice because the Paul is gone and the Wolves can come in but oh I want there to be a strong man come on brother ericon why don't you just come just walk around this platform right come on brother Hammond why don't you just walk around I want the Wolves to know when the when the hear when the hear when my old coffin is wrong out that door and the Wolves say oh

the Wolves Away you ought to be looking for somebody that can drive the wool come on somebody pray praise him I don't care how well he can preach I don't care how well I like him can he drive away the wall it's a trick of that false prophet it's the trick of the adversary to get you to hate the truth teller and go to bed with a liar his plan is to poison our young people to believe their pastor's outdated their Pastor can't relate to them it's the will of the devil it's the will of the wolf tonight to this morning to poison our children that when they hear a wiehe headed man soon to be completely I don't care they say you ain't going to do nothing with that no ain't going to do nothing I earned every bit of it praise God earned every every every cotton piece up here can I tell you something right now you need to teach your children the most important time in the service is when the truth teller is up there preaching God help us not to raise kids that can sing in the choir but can't carry a Bible God help us to understand when the truth teller gets up there they're listening because they're going to be teachers in school there's going to be a Godless Community oh they're going to be filled with lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God they're going to be heady high-m minded traitors incontinent fierce but they're going to wraps they may even wear a cross around their neck and they're going to tell them everything you've been told is not the truth but God help me help me to prepare you the wolves are coming the wolves are coming you hear me the wolves wolves

are not Thine Eyes Upon the truth thou Hast stricken them but they have not grieved thou Hast consumed them but they have refused to receive correction they have made their faces harder than a rock and they refuse to return therefore I said surely these are poor they are foolish they know not the way of the Lord nor the Judgment of their God I will get me unto the great man and will speak unto them for they have known the way of the Lord and the Judgment of their God but these have all together broken the Yoke and burst the bands can I tell you the wolves are waiting for us to cast off our standards I'm all right brother car just what God told me to do 20 years ago what I took off 20 years ago I've now put it back on well were you a fool then or are you a fool now cause God doesn't change and our standards our our yoke you hear hear me a yoke connects us to something else a yoke connects us and bands connect us it just burst the bonds the bands or the bonds and the Yoke connect us the false prophet and the Wolf will try to say you're not saved by doing that you didn't get salv you didn't get you're not saved by doing that I know that Einstein but it connects me to who I'm saved you see the god that saved you may not be worthy of public attention but the God that I serve I want everybody to know I want everybody to know and when we begin to break the Yoke and to break the bonds we are loosening ourselves let me read on I haven't lost you have I let me read on what have they done brother Ericson they broke the Yol they burst the bonds they've untied themselves look at verse six somebody tell me the first word of verse six do you know wherefore the wherefore is there it says wherefore that means because they have cast the Yol off and broke the bands bow because wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them a leopard shall watch over their cities everyone that goeth out then shall be torn in pieces because their transgression are many and their backslidings are increased can I tell you something when we begin to want to dress like the world and talk like the world and act like the world and go to the worldly amusements that are not connected to God but desensitize us to God when we begin to do that you hear me today and once again I know that I run the risk of a small video clip and some reprobate website come put it on there and spread it out but I want you to know today that I will not allow a reprobate to silence my voice put me in jail do whatever you got to do to me but Church you listen to me when we cast off our yoke and we let go of the Bands the W are pring the wolves are prowling oh if I can just get them separated they won't think of Jesus as much if I can just get them separated they won't think of the Lord as much and the leopard you hear me tonight today and the leper you don't seem Dad Mom you hear me today in the name of the Lord you hear me you don't see the leper he's hiding in the woods he's watching you get ready for church he's watching you as you w you march your boys I I I follow the Jean FIP family on social media one the sites there they often post a picture of themselves getting ready for the house of God and I I just think that's the most beautiful thing in the world families getting ready for the house of God it always I I I'm come to tears sometimes when I pull up on the parking lot on Sunday or Wednesday whenever here's whole entire family's walking and and my heart just gets so overwhelmed can I tell you something there's a
