[SPEAKER_00]: Revelation, chapter 4, verse 11 says, you are worthy of Lord to receive glory and honor and power.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have created all things and by your will they exist and were created.
[SPEAKER_00]: God bless and honor the reading of His Word and you are, you may be seated.
[SPEAKER_00]: God the Father is a creator of
[SPEAKER_00]: But often, the creations, that's the people, humans, try to recreate how they see creation and or the Creator, which is the Lord God.
[SPEAKER_00]: They like to try to recreate things.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe in God, the Creator, they might say.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're making themselves creators over the Creator that many say, doesn't exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's kind of confusing in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't believe in God, they say.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I'll believe in creation from the creator.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they start recreating the creator and the creation of the creator created.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all confusing, doesn't it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Votapusion is this.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't believe in the creator or the creation of the creator created, why are you so aware about recreating the creator or the creation of the creator created?
[SPEAKER_00]: And that crazy?
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what they do, that's what the world does and Satan's always behind all that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the one behind confusion.
[SPEAKER_00]: God's not the author of it, that's the devil, that says that in the first Corinthians chapter 14.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the title today's sermon is, the creator, the creation and create a lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that sounds kind of strange, but if we go on a little bit, you'll see.
[SPEAKER_00]: The first part is the creator, who's the creator, the Lord God, Yahweh,
[SPEAKER_00]: The word Yahweh is Hebrew, it's a name for God.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Jehovah is a Latin version of the name Yahweh.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jehovah is Latin which means he causes to be, he causes to be, or he causes to become.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he's the creator of all things, that's what it means.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we know that.
[SPEAKER_00]: God is Jehovah.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is Yahweh.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's one of causes to be causes to become all things.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to give you a list.
[SPEAKER_00]: Use that trying to give this many scriptures like I'm going to today and I apologize, but I'm going to give you a long list of the Bible scriptures to talk about God being known as the Creator, the Creator of all things, heaven and earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a whole lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give you the list here.
[SPEAKER_00]: First is Genesis 1, 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: Genesis 1-1 and then John 1-1-2-3.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me give it to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Genesis 1-1.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did go on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Genesis 1-1.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: John chapter 1, verse 1-2-3.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the beginning with God, it's time our Jesus, by the way, I see the word is.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the beginning with God, and all things are created through Him, and without Him, nothing was created.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was created.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, it's saying that Jesus is God, and He created everything with His Father God.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, now let's go to Colossians chapter one and it great how all these books are starting with all this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Colossians chapter one for 15 through 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: Colossians one 15 through 17 says he how much Jesus is the image of the invisible God and the first born of every creature.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was created for all of us.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's right there with the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: For by hand, we're 16 of caution, everyone, for by him all things are created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones or dominions or principles or powers, all things are created by him and for him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Verse 17, He is before all things and in Him all things whole together.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's through God, God the Father and the Son.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all holes together through the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: All of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the good and the bad and the ugly.
[SPEAKER_00]: He created everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't mean he created the of the side of it, sin, but through the things he created, sin did come.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's time goes on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, chapter, excuse me, the book of Hebrews, chapter 11 verse 3, Hebrews 11 verse 3, now I like Hebrews, now there's something to tell you some.
[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up so many scripture this week, the bad creation and God been the creator.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way I could put them all together on here, couldn't be done.
[SPEAKER_00]: To me, oh, I could have done it, but you think I went over last week.
[SPEAKER_00]: You would have been here for an hour later if we go through every single verse that talked about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a whole lot.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll go through Hebrews chapter 11 verse 3, what's I love that chapter?
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the faith chapter.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen to this.
[SPEAKER_00]: By faith, we understand that the universe was framed by the word of God so that the things that are seen were not made out of things which are visible.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here at a moment, I'm gonna have our brother Jay here, head out pictures.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I used to always draw pictures for children.
[SPEAKER_00]: I still do that sometimes for you children.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the thing is, I, I, a lot of times we'll draw big hands for God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Big hands in the way that do, I used to, people say to God, Mittensack, because I don't always draw even finger.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do it intentionally.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make them a simple way.
[SPEAKER_00]: By me, God's big hands.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did that for the children to illustrate that God created it, just because we don't see his hands doesn't mean that he didn't do it with his big and visible spirits of hands.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just because you don't see the big heart and the people that love you doesn't mean they don't love you all their emotional heart, they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, a lot of times people draw things like a heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I heart you, I love you.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just a visible way for you to see how they feel.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you got it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to see hands to know that he did it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's invisible, but he did it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 33 verse 6.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a couple of Psalms here and we'll go to some other people too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 33 verse 6, by the word of the Lord, the heavens were made and all they're hosted by the breath of His mouth.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, all the angels, He said it and it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how mighty God is.
[SPEAKER_00]: They go all the stars, all the stars, all the plants, all the angels, yes, even the ones that are in the falling, the third of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: He made them all.
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't make them do what they did, but he made them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 115 verse 15.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 115 verse 15.
[SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 115 verse 15 says, you are blessed of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your blessed of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: He made it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like what Jeremiah says, Jeremiah chapter 32 verse 17, now Jeremiah says a lot, and I've got a few to throw it to you today about Jeremiah, but listen when he says here, Jeremiah says in chapter 32 verse 17,
[SPEAKER_00]: And there is nothing too hard for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now there's a song that goes with this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord God, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great song.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the outsourced hand, as it says in the song.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing is too difficult for the, no, no, nothing is too difficult for the.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last in this area of the creator Lord God is Isaiah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isaiah 45 verse 18, now we read for some of this this 30 of this morning in Sunday school.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isaiah 45 verse 18 says, for thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it.
[SPEAKER_00]: who has established it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited.
[SPEAKER_00]: What does he say?
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, I am the Lord, and there is no other.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we're going to talk about the creation.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the creation?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, even we're going to talk about the plants.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the ocean.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the stars and all that.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to talk about the animals or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the humans.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, people are going to say, if you're a human, you're an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't listen those dummies.
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, if you're a science teacher, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not trying to call you a dummy.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they do have a stupid thing sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's that one movie goes, hi, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to know you're not.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't be.
[SPEAKER_00]: you're not an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: God did not create you to be an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're human.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're sitting from the animals.
[SPEAKER_00]: He can give you a different day than the animals.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: You may act like an animal sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've met some people sometimes with a couple animal house.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me tell you, there's been times I've behaved like an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should see my room sometimes.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are sometimes you may behave like an animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a muppet called animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: and I love him.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've seen human beings who make him look tame.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he does, if I've seen him, a beings that live like an animal, but it doesn't mean they aren't animal.
[SPEAKER_00]: God didn't create this that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the creation that we're gonna talk about is human beings.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's different kinds we're gonna talk about right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: What comes to human beings?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about the non-believers.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the laws.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk about believers.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the saved.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today, I believe most of you, if not all of you, are saved, how are you saved?
[SPEAKER_00]: You're saved by the blood of Jesus, by your faith and the blood of Jesus.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there's gonna be another type, confused non-believers.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're lost, but think that they're saved.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's sad.
[SPEAKER_00]: They think they're saved because they believe God is real.
[SPEAKER_00]: or they think they're safe because they do nice things.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there is the confused believers.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're saved, but they live like the lost.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they follow the lost.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had the novelevers, the lost.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the believers, the saved.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the confused novelevers, and we had the confused believers.
[SPEAKER_00]: So first let's go to back to Genesis.
[SPEAKER_00]: Genesis 1, 27.
[SPEAKER_00]: So God created man in his own image.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the image of God, he created him, male and female he created them.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is important.
[SPEAKER_00]: This, first of all, this puts away a lot of false teachings people, try to get.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll get into this in a second.
[SPEAKER_00]: But,
[SPEAKER_00]: people a lot of times have false teachings about this scripture saying oh we're just like God, we're another God, no you're not, you're his creation, you're not God, oh we're not as well like our first world just come at Adam and Eve.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned this couple of weeks back, there's only three people who were made perfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: One was born perfect, that was Jesus, two were created perfect, that was Adam and Eve.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were created perfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus was and is perfect because he was God in the flesh and was born that way, but only two were created perfect, but they chose sin, chose sin, and Jesus could have been today.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good of, but he didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, then we see that in this case, what does it say?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it puts several things away.
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, there are people, even Christians or at least, maybe they are, but I'm not gonna say what they are, it's putting them in the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they teach that homosexuality is natural.
[SPEAKER_00]: that they're born that way, that God made them that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I can understand why they believe that because either that's what they're surrounded by, you're known by your surroundings, that's what they're taught now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there's others who think you should hate homosexuals.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know, God doesn't say that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should love people, despite the fact that they don't understand what the word says, but homosexuality is not natural.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this God making man and woman, making them in a natural sense,
[SPEAKER_00]: puts away that belief of homosexuality.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, there's many scriptures I could go to, there's proof of homosexuality, but I won't have done it before.
[SPEAKER_00]: But another thing that puts away is transgenderism.
[SPEAKER_00]: God made a woman in a man.
[SPEAKER_00]: A woman in a man, he didn't make a man in a woman's body, or a woman in a man's body, didn't do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's confusion that comes from Satan and confuses it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you pray for those people.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't hate them.
[SPEAKER_00]: We hate what the devil has done.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only one person's okay to hate and we'll go to that, it is not even a person.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a spirit, and that's a devil.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that more or not,tober.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another thing it puts away evolution, it puts away evolution and much, much, much, much more.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, someone will say, what kind of Christian would believe in evolution, believe me, there's so many who do because they're mistot and they don't understand, so just pray for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, when I was in school, when you're taught about evolution and then it's all dumb, but I can understand why they did, I was taught that the both are correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I have to both be correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: They can't.
[SPEAKER_00]: You get taught one thing to be true and
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't fit.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like trying to put a puzzle together with the wrong pieces.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the Flintstones.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll talk more about that in a few weeks, you know, but the thing is, it's not the Flintstones.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be able to understand me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about a little bit of dinosaurs, we'll talk more about that and how they are in the Bible.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk a little about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the fact that God creates things in His timing and in His way and people misty step, I'm going to move on, though, to a verse that goes with Genesis chapter 1 verse 27.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what verses that?
[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 19 verse 4.
[SPEAKER_00]: So many times people say, Jesus doesn't talk against homosexuality.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus doesn't talk about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, first of all, Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't tell me what Jesus doesn't believe.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is God in the flesh of God was against it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus against it.
[SPEAKER_00]: God is for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus for it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But listen only says, and Matthew 19 for he answered, have you not read that he who made them at the beginning, made them male and female?
[SPEAKER_00]: He said that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus said that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 19 for.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isaiah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Isaiah 40 28.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this.
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, this has nothing to do with what we're just talking about, the homosexuality, transgenderism, evolution, none of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: This talks about how creation human beings oftentimes try to take God's word and make it their own.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: We too often, and I'll talk about this more, too often, we are trying to understand God.
[SPEAKER_00]: in our own understanding, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll get to that.
[SPEAKER_00]: This one says, and Isaiah 40, 28, have you not known?
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you not heard that the ever lasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nor is he weary.
[SPEAKER_00]: His understanding is inscrutable.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't understand it.
[SPEAKER_00]: We try what we can.
[SPEAKER_00]: The lost man thinks of God through his lost eyes and of God like what a human would do.
[SPEAKER_00]: What would a human do?
[SPEAKER_00]: What would I do?
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you start thinking, if I was God, I would do this.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll show you further the film Bruce Almighty and the other films have been like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I'm not telling you to watch that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would.
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it one long time ago when I was young.
[SPEAKER_00]: A point is this, too many times, a lost person or the world tries to think of, if I was God, I would never let death come in it.
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, God didn't make death happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Satan and human beings did that through their sin.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't God, but they don't understand so you have to understand that they don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: Understand?
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we do that too, as Christians.
[SPEAKER_00]: We sometimes thank your human minds, not your godly minds.
[SPEAKER_00]: It will save minds.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number's 23 verse 19, listen to this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number's 23 verse 19, God is not a man that he should lie nor a son a man.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, a kid, someone goes through generational ways that he should repent.
[SPEAKER_00]: He has spoken and he and will he not do it?
[SPEAKER_00]: or has he spoken and will he not make it good?
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, when God says it is BAM, it is guaranteed.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a hat in my office that was my grandpa's.
[SPEAKER_00]: He used to wear it everywhere.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a red one and he wore it so often, he pertain to your word out.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he saw a dark blue one, he bought that I had the dark blue one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I gave the red one to my cousin.
[SPEAKER_00]: He just had a birthday gift.
[SPEAKER_00]: But him years ago said, hey, you wear what a grandpa is.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wear it when a grandpa's and I wear it often.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I usually keep it in my office as if God says it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's guaranteed.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's important to remember that if God says it, bam.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's guaranteed and it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now listen to this, I say this a lot, I know I do, but I love Proverbs chapter three verse five, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean, not on your own understanding.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what the world does.
[SPEAKER_00]: The human beings do the creation, work creation, work creation, the creation doesn't always listen to the Creator, says, I don't understand, I use this example just to the day on somebody.
[SPEAKER_00]: They was asking me, why are they, it's why they do this all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay, I don't mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: They always ask me, why does God this?
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't always know.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I said, well imagine if Mickey Mouse spoke to Walt Disney.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you can imagine that.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see people now fit.
[SPEAKER_00]: But imagine if the literal cartoon character jumped out, which they did in a little short one time, they had Walt Disney's standing there and Mickey Mouse jumped out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine if Walt Disney was sitting there, Mickey Mouse jumped out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you let this happen?
[SPEAKER_00]: Why did you do this?
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, we're nothing but a creation.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're trying to tell the creator what's right, and what's wrong?
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have the right.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have the right to tell God he's right when he's wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're the one who's asking him what's right and wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not vice versa.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sorry, Mickey Mouse.
[SPEAKER_00]: What should I do?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what am I paying it?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not how those folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, not at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians chapter two, verse 14, first Corinthians two, 14.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the natural man, you know, the natural man, but the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of God, that's so not the lost man.
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't receive the spirit of God, that's the Holy Spirit.
[SPEAKER_00]: That it doesn't understand the spirit of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: For they are foolishness to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, when the lost man says, I don't understand, I don't get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys are crazy.
[SPEAKER_00]: They think we're crazy and I understand that.
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are foolishness to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: and goes on to say in 1 Corinthians 2, 14, nor can he know them, that means the things of God, because they are spiritually discerned.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, the things that you understand are not because you're smart.
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I'm not saying you're not smart.
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet you're way smarter than me, but you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing I understand from the Word of God is not because of my smarts, otherwise I'd be doing a box of rocks, but it's because of the Holy Spirit says, Hey, fell up and it gets through to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what happens to you, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: For almost chapter one verse 25, I like this.
[SPEAKER_00]: They turned the truth of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: This talk not Romans, we just talked about this a couple weeks back.
[SPEAKER_00]: They turned the truth of God into a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than the creator who has blessed forever amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now who's blessed?
[SPEAKER_00]: The creator, not the creature, but Romans did this.
[SPEAKER_00]: They took false scars, false beliefs, false things, and turned it into a God.
[SPEAKER_00]: We were talking about this earlier in the Sunday School Whartway Brother, Whartway.
[SPEAKER_00]: We will talk about how people take
[SPEAKER_00]: Things, they took God's false gods, we talked about the false gods of Rome, and agrees just a few weeks back how they took those false things and made them into God's folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love football.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we talk about some of the people making football and to a God folks is not our all by itself.
[SPEAKER_00]: People do everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: They make, they can make almost anything into a God.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's what Roman chapter one is about.
[SPEAKER_00]: How they took false gods, false police, homosexuality, and also other things.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Roman chapter one talks about it straight out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It mentioned homosexuality, a man for man, one for woman.
[SPEAKER_00]: They did all these things.
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you know the Holy Spirit, two and two makes four, two and two makes four.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know the two and two makes what I was just watching.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the end of the group, if I love when I do that, he goes, Barney says two, two, three, four.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's common sense to us, two, two, makes four.
[SPEAKER_00]: And but the lost can't understand that.
[SPEAKER_00]: They say two, two, makes four.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think two, two, makes eight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I guess if you're doing some work, but two, two, makes four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of which, second Corinthians, two Corinthians, four, four.
[SPEAKER_00]: Two Corinthians, four, four, says this.
[SPEAKER_00]: The God of this world, now wait a minute, what we're talking about, the God of this world, Lord case G, the false God of this world, Satan.
[SPEAKER_00]: The God of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, less the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to remember folks, they can't see what you see.
[SPEAKER_00]: So pray for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're so understanding.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a love one who I love, but all my heart so.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love them, but what in particular, who there is a foolish life.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I think, well, why would you do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I start realizing they're surrounded by stupidity.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's up to them, if they want to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But God still loves those people.
[SPEAKER_00]: But they doesn't mean they love what they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: If God really loves me, they'll set all they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to a movie and you have the wrong movie ticket, you're not getting in.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not going to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: God will accept you, but you have to have the ticket, which is Jesus Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not getting in otherwise.
[SPEAKER_00]: Colossians chapter three, verse two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Set your affection on the things above not on things on earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll skip this other part I have here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Simply to say, Colossians 2-8, beware, less anyone captivate, this is a Colossians 2-8.
[SPEAKER_00]: Beware, less anyone captivate you through philosophy and vain deceit in the tradition of men and the elementary principles of the world and not after Christ.
[SPEAKER_00]: See a lot of people, a lot of people will try
[SPEAKER_00]: blind-side you and get you at our humans and get you focusing on things that don't matter.
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: To get you all tied up on one thing and not focusing on God.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, Brother J, will you hand this out please?
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Brother.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure they take a picture and a bag.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to sound real elementary, speaking of elementary.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I got up early this morning and I thought, what should I do to go along with this sermon?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought, well, seeing how part of the title is Creola, mazo draw a picture for y'all to color.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure you get one for the little one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure they get one for Creola.
[SPEAKER_00]: Creola as we know is a Creon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now when I was a kid, I thought for sure it was crowned.
[SPEAKER_00]: a crown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, there is some truth that I didn't even know it that Crayola is together with a hallmark.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't realize that hallmark has a logo of a crown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I didn't know all that as kid.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to say I was so wise that I put it all together.
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just thought that Crayon was a crown.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I used to love
[SPEAKER_00]: Crayons, in fact, I got co-frequent in once.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I won't go into all that at this moment, and now I have teeth issues, but I'm not going to put that together.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the reason.
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, so Crayola, Crayola, that's the next part of the Sherman Crayola.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would I talk about Crayola in a sermon?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's quite simple.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times people love to color up pictures and they do perfectly well.
[SPEAKER_00]: My mother is really good at coloring pictures.
[SPEAKER_00]: Others are really good using their girls.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean that in a sex sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like they're really good at details and all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Many guys are too, but other people color pictures and they're ugly and sloppy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not the person that the picture they're coloring.
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanna make sure you know what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_00]: And some do just okay on pictures.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're kind of bland and they don't color much.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's seeing some young people put a little striker color and that's it.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all they wanna do.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: It depends on age to.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then there are many are sure to say some who color out of the lines.
[SPEAKER_00]: They color out of the lines and make their own arc out of the picture.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of nice way to say they don't do very good and that was me as a kid.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did color very well.
[SPEAKER_00]: I color out of the lines.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did do too very well.
[SPEAKER_00]: but they make their own picture out of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, this is not a praise that some people will give.
[SPEAKER_00]: In movies nowadays, all times they'll use to make the whole film about the person that colors out of the lines, I say, they just have a different vision.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just color out of the lines.
[SPEAKER_00]: That makes them the better person.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's not what I'm doing today.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not praising the unusual moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because you see, what this is really about is how many, many Christians
[SPEAKER_00]: Many, excuse me, many creations, people are this way.
[SPEAKER_00]: They take the Creator's Word, that's the Word of God, the Bible, and they take the Creator, they take the Creator's Word, and the Creator, and they try to color outside of the Bible.
[SPEAKER_00]: They try to color
[SPEAKER_00]: the word and the Creator differently and it's supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I am not saying to you that you have to color it a specific way.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm saying to you is, because you do whatever you want to with that picture of yours.
[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm saying is, some people take the word of God and they try to change it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Manipulated to fit them, instead of them fit the word.
[SPEAKER_00]: They try to change God to fit them, instead of them to fit God.
[SPEAKER_00]: They try to make God the creator change to be what they want instead of them to fit what God wants and be what needs to be, what's talk more about next week.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm gonna just quote to you a few scriptures before we go to the last part.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is Proverbs 28 verse 26.
[SPEAKER_00]: Proverbs 28 26 says, He who trusted his own heart is a fool.
[SPEAKER_00]: But whoever walks wisely, in other words, biblically, godly, he walks wisely will be delivered.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeremiah 724, I told you it's all back to Jeremiah, we got two of him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeremiah 724, I listen, he was living in the place Israel.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were all that I got as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, he said, is God speaking to him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jeremiah 724, but they did not listen, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the council, in the council's, and in the imagination of their evil heart.
[SPEAKER_00]: And went backward and not forward.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now listen to this, Jeremiah 23, 16 and 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, thus says the Lord of a damn Jeremiah 23, 16 and 17, thus says the Lord of hosts, do not listen to the words of the prophets.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, wait a minute, folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to explain something to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not talking about the prophets of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's talking about false prophets who were coming in and trying to mislead them.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to listen to Jeremiah who was listening and God of following him.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's saying there's false prophets in here who are not following God.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want you to understand that.
[SPEAKER_00]: There are lots of preachers and ministers on TV and there are so many good, good, good, good, wonderful preachers who are going right to the Word of God and bringing to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I listen to a few this morning.
[SPEAKER_00]: I listen to Billy Graham no longer with us, but still preachers every day on YouTube and other places praise the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. David Jeremiah still with us preaching the Word of God I love him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Adrian Rogers, oh, I love him.
[SPEAKER_00]: Praise Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: I need not with us, but he's with your video.
[SPEAKER_00]: Charles Stanley's not with us, but I still hear.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Evans and others, I listen to some of these people because I want guidance to through the Lord and I want to hear it and you can.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there's others that I would go through go to with anything and I'm not going to name your names, there's one I could and I have and I will sometimes not with this about.
[SPEAKER_00]: but you got to be careful.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to be careful.
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen what it says in Jeremiah chapter 23, 16 through 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thus, say at the Lord hosts, do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesied to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: They lead you into vanity.
[SPEAKER_00]: They speak of vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: verse 17, they still say to those who despise me, O Lord has said to me, the Lord has said, you will have peace and they say to everyone who walks after the imagination of his own heart, no evil will come upon you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So in other words, Jeremiah was telling you what the Lord has said, and then saying, nah, stop going to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Folks, there's an individual out in California.
[SPEAKER_00]: I see him all the time, not for the name of his name, but he's a homosexual.
[SPEAKER_00]: He lives a homosexual eye.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's all saying, God doesn't say that it's bad to do that.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, God doesn't say there's a hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, there's only heaven.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you die, you don't know Jesus, you're not going to hell.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now folks, what's he going to have to answer for?
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have to answer for a lot of stuff, folks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Think about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That man is going to have to answer for a lot of things.
[SPEAKER_00]: But why?
[SPEAKER_00]: because pastor Phillips says, no, I'm not the one.
[SPEAKER_00]: God is the one.
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the thing, I don't know how saying these things be mean.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to be mean, but folks, because I don't want to mean.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to tell the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.
[SPEAKER_00]: God loves you way more than me.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he tells the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got to tell the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only the truth or it's alive.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no such thing as my truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians, by the way, I'm going to read you first Corinthians eight to every version that read this is good.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to be playing as playing could be on this.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to read to you an English standard version.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is one time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to be playing as playing could be.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says in first Corinthians eight to, if anyone imagines that he knows something,
[SPEAKER_00]: He does not yet know as he ought to know.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, if you think you know something, you know nothing without God.
[SPEAKER_00]: God is the one that our brother and that's what we're talking about this day, that without God we know nothing and it's God who gets us to wisdom.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not until we give to the Lord, you could read the Bible all day long.
[SPEAKER_00]: I know because I did it when I was younger.
[SPEAKER_00]: I read the Bible, said, I don't get it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it wasn't till the Holy Spirit said, Ta-da, and the light came on and ha-ha, then said that I knew and I understood why, because folks smart know the Holy Spirit is.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Colossians 3 23 says this, and whatever you do, do it heartedly as for the Lord and not for men.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do what you do for the Lord, not for men.
[SPEAKER_00]: The last one in this area, Ephesians 2-8.
[SPEAKER_00]: For by the grace, you have, let me say again, for Ephesians 2-8.
[SPEAKER_00]: For by the grace, you have been saved through faith.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not of yourselves.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a gift of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, we have to remember if you draw wonderfully, if you color wonderfully and I hope you do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe right now you're coloring.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you are, it's okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to call you out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would I do that?
[SPEAKER_00]: You should do the same thing myself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're coloring wonderfully.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's you know what?
[SPEAKER_00]: The artist who drew it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about this picture.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not talking about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be yours really.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not talking about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the artist who drew the whole picture is God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, when people color things, and they start doing the picture, the Lord's given them, that's the little picture God gave you.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't take credit for what God gave you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last part, the Lord God, create or ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: He judges the creation's creativity, not us.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't look at them and say, oh, they're terrible, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've gone, I'll be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've gone to, uh,
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's been times that I've looked at the art that I said, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why, my opinion?
[SPEAKER_00]: Just my opinion.
[SPEAKER_00]: Except they call art, I sometimes say jump.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm an artist.
[SPEAKER_00]: I draw cartoons mostly.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, just cartoons.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they look like I got to eat, but that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But sometimes I look at stuff for the women who have body parts of some of the eight or nine.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,
[SPEAKER_00]: What were they drinking?
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's other times out of their meetings.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's other times I see a guy with eight, eight eyes, I'm like, look, you know, look at something from the Twilight Zone.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, but if people are like, oh, the colors, the colors.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I look at it, it looks like some orange through up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a red dot in the middle.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the people are like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[SPEAKER_00]: It looked like a dog threw up.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reason it did wasn't because of my mom thought it was pretty.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's because she thought kids were ugly mess and they are.
[SPEAKER_00]: And we wore it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And because that she picked an ugly, now you also have to understand this late 70s in early 80s, which is ugly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, it's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was brown with a little bit of white off white and orange and stuff in beige.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was ugly.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it looked like a shaggy dog had been skinned alive and put in there and gone through some kind of thing, but and kind of sort of Joseph's pet, by Joseph's many colors, but that being said, it worked for what it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if anyone was to judge someone, say, judge the 70s.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the point is that everybody's got their own belief, but God is the Creator.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is also the judgment of the Creator.
[SPEAKER_00]: If someone went through an art gallery, and they were judging all these things, you have to understand, they've got to college, and so they have autistic understanding.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they know all that, but God is the only one who can really judge the art in this situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the Creator of all.
[SPEAKER_00]: He knows what the creation is supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: So remember, when people are trying to tell you what the Bible is really about, remember, do it through the eyes of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
[SPEAKER_00]: First song, one, five.
[SPEAKER_00]: This then is the message which we have heard from Him and it clear to you, God is like, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: He makes no mistakes.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no mistakes in God.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says the second Corinthians 517.
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, if any man is in Christ's a new creature, all things have passed away and look, all things have become new.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there is a lot more I could say to that, but I'm all going to give you a couple more here before we close.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is, second Corinthians 10,
[SPEAKER_00]: five, three, six.
[SPEAKER_00]: Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is complete.
[SPEAKER_00]: We are to give ourselves to the Lord.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Lord, guys, creator of all, and so therefore he wants to create you.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's already created you, but he wants to continue to create you every day, creating me a clean heart, oh God.
[SPEAKER_00]: They renew a right spirit within me, amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to make us better every day.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, we're without excuses, it says in Romans chapter one.
[SPEAKER_00]: It says, Romans chapter one, that we are without a excuse, if we know the Lord God, we're without a excuse.
[SPEAKER_00]: If no reason to have a excuse, because God is told us so.
[SPEAKER_00]: Romans 11 36 says, for with him and through him and to him are all things to him be the glory forever, amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're at a Father the Creator, not the creation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stay within the lines of the Creator's Word.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't be an out of liner.
[SPEAKER_00]: A Christian should never be out of line where that is where God's Word is concerned.
[SPEAKER_00]: Never be out of line.
[SPEAKER_00]: If God of Word tells you not to do something, don't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's now you're out of line.
[SPEAKER_00]: Too often, people want to change God's Word and live out of line and think, I'm still the Christian.
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're drawing out of line, you're not no obedient Christian and you're never gonna be a good creation, obedient to God if you're purposely drawing out of line.
[SPEAKER_00]: Amen, amen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And let me close with first Corinthians eight, six.
[SPEAKER_00]: First Corinthians eight, six.
[SPEAKER_00]: But for us, there is, but one God,
[SPEAKER_00]: the Father, from whom all things and for whom we exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there is one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things and through whom we exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's mount prayer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord God, we thank you for creating.
[SPEAKER_00]: We thank you for creating us.
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray, Lord God, as your creation, that we be obedient to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Lord, we pray that as we pick up the creyola of our life Lord, that we would do not draw out of line, but Lord God, we will stay within the lines of your word.
[SPEAKER_00]: We pray through the Holy Spirit Lord, we'll take our hands.
[SPEAKER_00]: At the Holy Spirit Lord, God will guide our hands and help us to stay within the lines of your word.
[SPEAKER_00]: I pray all this and Holy and precious
