 Good afternoon everybody. Welcome to unfiltered with Pastor David. Pastor welcome back. Oh, thank you The flu bug had hit you and Marie pretty well. Yeah, did a good job on this And so I'm thankful that you're you're able to come back and and we have a big season of Christmas coming up So we're looking forward to spending Christmas Eve with the church and Christmas morning with the church family as well Pastor last night. I kind of want to tie a couple things together. You mentioned something last night in your message and from 1st John chapter 4 You mentioned the acceptance and the and I wrote it down The fascination and acceptance with the spirit of antichrist and we can look at that in many different Angles and when we look at it through the perspective of the church, we can see many things that Would predict would pertain to that spirit of antichrist being so accepted especially well know when it comes to abortion My body my choice, you know, we see those demonic Influences in those decisions and then in a different area We also see things That are also demonic that are that has that spirit of antichrist, especially when it comes to Government spending and and and our border situation, you know, we see in one hand. We see our country wanting to give almost 50 55 45 billion dollars to the Help of Ukraine Yet at the same time we're having this crisis at our border We see the spirit of antichrist again creeping into the church So you take a look at all of this and and when you're teaching last night, I realized The acceptance and the fascination and the spirit of antichrist is with us today Well, it's been with us as John said in 1st John 4 Even in his day, he said that the spirit of antichrist is already here So the spirit of antichrist and the antichrist are two different kinds of things the spirit of antichrist is revealed through the through the teachings of and Pronounsence of the false prophets and false teachers, but they are actually paving the way For the world to finally accept the one who's going to come in the end the last What's the word the last the manifestation the last manifestation of the actual one who's referred to as antichrist and so Yeah, last night we're talking a little bit about that out of 1st John chapter 4 and how that the world is prepared And is being Prepared daily for the acceptance of this one is going to exalt himself above all that is to be worshipped and pronounce himself To be the one who is to be worshipped in it and we're seeing that already in a variety of ways And you mentioned for example the issue of abortion, you know the idea of a death cult You know I've mentioned in in our teachings in 1st John chapter 2 verses 15 through 17 We're not to love the world nor the things of the world You know anything that's within the world. What is that? Well the world in the way the word world is used in that particular Scripture is in reference to a satanic death system. That's what the world is it is energized by the enemy and It's a satanic death system when Jesus speaks concerning the enemy He says that he is a liar and a murderer from the beginning and you see that spirit even now manifested in in In world governments, we have it within our own government You know Paul when he was speaking to the Ephesians was speaking about the principalities and powers and those are demonically energized systems of governance that that we experience even in our day and so What are the attributes of of this demonic system? Well, Jesus said there's its death and it's lying and So we see that manifested pretty clearly in much of what takes place today You know, I'm old enough to remember when abortion was regarded as something that was simply an illegal thing because it constituted the taking of an innocent life and Yet, you know when Roe v. Wade was was and was passed and all it became entrenched in the mind of of the youth who didn't grow up with a moral system that Actually regarded life. It became entrenched in the youth that it was their right to kill and And you know, obviously we've seen the argument It's my body my choice except I guess when it comes to receiving vaccinations and things of that nature And so they they they speak in that way because they're actually deceived they're actually Part of a system that is a death system and so anti-christ is going to be bringing this death system he already has energized it and We see that in our day. We also see it in in the What's the word in the disregard of of government in the sense of you know, if I don't like that law I'm just not going to obey it, you know, and even from the smallest things just a couple days ago, Marina We're driving in our neighborhood We came up to a stop sign as we came to the stop sign This is this young woman just drove right through it and dry right in front of us just drove right through her stop sign She looked at in our direction and I was looking at her like What did you just do and she smiles and keeps driving? There is so much nonchalance about Breaking laws. I mean even the small things you go to a Store and they have handicapped parking and these people just climb out of their car They park it and go get their coffee or whatever and they they don't they don't care It's this lack of care Many years ago in Columbine when Columbine occurred I Was teaching on a Sunday morning and I asked the question I said to the people our people at that time I said how many of you believe that the classroom should be the safest place for a child, you know And you know how many and our fellowship, you know responded well, yes, you know because Columbine had just occurred And it's all on it's on our mind So I said how many think that a classroom should be the safest place for a child? They all agreed. I said that's where you're wrong The womb is the safest place for a child I said, but if you kill a child in the womb, you will kill a child in a classroom We've been seeing this for years John and so there's supposed outrage and perhaps is real in the heart of some people That oh look at what's happening. Therefore. We need to ban guns, you know because guns kill people Well, you know go to Japan go to England and what do they use to kill people? They use knives You know, so The gun isn't the problem the human heart is I have guns I I used to fire them I haven't fired them in a long time But I used to like to shoot at targets, you know that gun has never come out from my shelf It's never come out of my gun safe, and it's never shot me It takes a human being to pick up the gun make a decision pull the trigger So what we're looking at isn't the problem with guns. It's a problem with hearts, right? And so that's what we have right now and look at our look at our nation So right now we're worried about the Ukraine Where's all this money coming from billions upon billions upon billions of dollars sending them our our Particular Weapons that that they have to be trained to use and they're demanding more and more and the thing is is of course We concern ourselves with people in the Ukraine Etc. Of course because we should have human compassion for all but at the same time Why isn't the NATO nations? Why aren't they taking care of their own problems? See rush is no threat to us That's something that was drummed up during the Trump administration And they continue to to pump that up and they they're looking at China China doesn't do anything good for us. They taken it steals our technology. They steal our ideas They spy on us. They tell us what to say in and then nobody says a thing. Why is that? Well, I I believe my personal opinion is and I think it's true is that that Biden and his family is in the pocket of China It seems pretty obvious, but nobody really wants to say that outside of some conservative news sources See so this is this is how the anti-christ is going to be accepted This is the kind of thing where people don't want to believe their eye with their eyes are seen like they say Don't believe your lying eyes. They don't want to believe it They are so caught up with a with a way of thinking with with their theories of To the point that truth doesn't matter. It's what I feel and so that is drummed into us 24 seven There are words that are used in TV today that were banned in movies and in the 40s and even into the 50s Even some of the commercials that we were talking about last night with you know We talked about the different commercials that so subtle you see, you know Like we were talking about an animal on and on a certain location in a commercial and it's promoting the bestiality It's promoting and and and and you know if some were to ask you this pastor 15 20 30 years ago about the The anti anti-christ removing his mask in today's world. What would your response be 30 years ago? I believe we would we would have been in a better a better state of mind to be able to Recognize the anti-christ 30 years ago, but the corruption and decay has continued at such a rapid rate that there will be people who will Welcome him thinking that he is the answer because if you think in terms of world leaders at the moment name one that you can Respect talk. Do you respect Biden? Do you respect Harris? Do you respect? you know the the the prime minister of Trudeau of Canada, who do you respect? You know you don't respect any of they're all weak every one of them is weak I think so that's one of the reasons why Trump who wasn't weak and I'm not promoting him But it's a fact he wasn't weak You know they didn't like him because they thought that many thought that all he's a bully this and then that's because they Haven't seen a man in so long that they don't even know what men are because what has happened is we have a feminine We have made men effeminate and we've made them, you know into The women you know and the women have become more like men in this perverse twisted world that we live in right now John so you know it doesn't take much time to just think through what's going on like I was sharing last night We'll close with this because I don't want to go as long as I can about this subject But no, I was sharing last night. It's not that I have a sentimental nostalgic wish that we were back in the 50s But you cannot tell me that the 50s were as evil as we are today You can't tell me my father and my mother would have liked to see homosexual parades You would you can't tell me I just saw a quote for a from a woman who said that Jesus. She's on the view She said that Jesus would be leading the LGBTQ He would be leading the gay pride parade. She said that that's profanity That's blasphemy that is such ignorance that it beggars description And yet that gets that goes into and they're clapping over this. Yeah, like Jesus would have led a homosexual parade That's where we're at today. So it's disgusting. It's discussed. It's beyond disgusting It's so anger-provoking and we Christians were so quiet about things I don't think we should be violent. God knows that I do not preach violence You know those who live by the sword die by it But you have to have a spine and the men need to stand up and say this is as far as we're going We're not going any further. There are a lot of weak men and and overpowering women and and we are in a move towards a Devastation of the United States as we at one time knew it. We have lost male leadership There's a lot of children and sad to say a lot of little boys who have no dad They have no father in their home So they're being raised by mamas who are doing the best they can sometimes sometimes they don't care But they're doing the best they can with what they have and and these children are growing up feminized and They're growing up with with gender confusion and you name it, you know suicide and things No, we're living in rough times and the government is taking taking rights from us a little bit at a time Where you can have a tattoo parlor open But you can't have a church open when you can have a woman who goes and gets her hair done without a mask Who tells me that I need to wear know we're living in gross hypocrisy and and you know You want to dance you're gonna pay the fiddle the fiddler and that's what's taking place So the church has to wake up John and I know we're gonna end here. I wonder why we're not mentioned in prophecy I don't know and maybe that's another discussion for us to have down the road But as you're saying this I'm just thinking it's no wonder We're not mentioned in time in the book of Revelation or Ezekiel or any of those 38 and 39 and and so We'll see and so pastor. Thank you so much that I mean there's so much I was and maybe there's gonna be a part two down the road because even like with this whole exchange In so the Soviet Union for a prisoner that was just recently And and maybe that's something we can speak about down the road We left a hero there Well, we took somebody who wouldn't even stand for the for the national anthem Anything for votes anything for votes, so we'll take care of the Ukrainian border, but we we are allowing We've allowed four million people to stream across ours And they're just right now just getting ready they're sleeping on the streets of El Paso in different places Because this president is trying to change the demographic of America by bringing in people who will be Beholding to them and vote Democrat when they're given the right to and you watch because they're already trying to get illegal Immigrants the right to vote they're already moving in that direction you watch what's gonna take place No wonder we're not mentioned in prophecy. We're not awake. You better wake up pastor Thank you so much and and church family, you know And this is so amazing why we do come to an amazing church where we hear God's word and we can stand up for God's truth and And I hope this is provoking and to keep our country in prayer Our administration in prayer, but Jesus, please come soon Because we're in those times of hypocrisy gross hypocrisy.
