See, I got it going on when it comes to technology. Before you're seated, we invite you O God to do an inside of a something that is beyond human understanding. I know you will Lord because you said you'd finish what you started. I invite you today Lord to have full and free sway in this service. I want these people to hear me say, I want to get out of your way. I have a message that you've laid on my heart but dear Lord, let me decrease that you may increase. When we exit the building today, Lord, let us be talking about your word. Let us be asking you to let it dwell and bear fruit inside of us. Lord, be glorified today, be pleased. Don't let any flesh enter into this time of preaching and receiving the word. Thank you for your kindness, your mercy and your goodness. In Jesus name, we always pray and everybody said amen. We're going to put Exodus chapter 32 on the screen for you and you're welcome to follow along in your Bible. It's a new King James. It's the only one I use. New King James, Exodus chapter 32, beginning with what verse did I say? Oh, let's pick one then. Verse 14. I got it marked, but are you putting it up? Avery or? There you go. >> Thank you. Join me verse 14, "So the Lord relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people,

and Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the testimony were in His hand. The tablets were written on both sides, on the one side and on the other they were written. Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets. And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp." But he said, "It is not the noise of the shouted victory, nor the noise of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing I hear." So it was as soon as he came near the camp that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger burned hot and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. Then he took the calf which they had made, burned it in the fire and ground it to powder, and he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it. And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?" So Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my Lord become hot. You know the people that they are set on evil. For they said to me, 'Make us gods that shall go before us.' As for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. And I said to them, "Whoever has any gold, let them break it off." So they gave it to me and I cast it into the fire and this calf came out. I'm sorry. Verse 25, "Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained, for Aaron had not restrained them to their shame among their enemies, then Moses stood at the entrance of the camp and said, 'Whoever is on the Lord's side, come to me, and all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him, and he said to them, 'Thus says the Lord God of Israel, let every man put his sword on his side and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.' So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses about 3,000 men that day. Then Moses said, 'Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord that he may be still on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.' Was that too much? You can be seated. Thank you. Well, I think you see that God has put this in his word to show us he's serious about holy worship and God is greatly offended by and sensitive of fake worship, worldly praise, sinful songs. God is not interested in just having people get together and call it worship. He's calling people out for a special kind of worship. I think you know by now that God is a divider. Listen to this verse again, 'For every man has opposed his son and his brother.' If you turn over to the 10th chapter of Matthew,

Matthew chapter 10, this is one of those verses that's never read at Christmas. songs in peace and good will, enjoy to the world. And the world has this synthetic idea that Jesus brings peace. And if people really love Jesus, they will be unity. Well, let me read to you what Jesus said. Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother and a daughter in law against her mother in law and a man's enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. He who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. He who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it. And he who loses his life from my sake shall find it. Now, folks, those are harsh words to the world. Those are words that divide. Jesus said I did not come to bring peace but I actually tear families up. I split them apart because there will be some in the family that will follow me and others will resent them for it. We live in a crazy generation. There's a generation of young people who have turned on their parents. That term, I don't know who concocted it. It was some charismatic mega church genius, the word toxic. And so you hear young people saying these days to their parents, I can't be around you. You are toxic to me. You steal my peace. You hinder my joy. And so they separate themselves from their parents. What it actually boils down to is the parent loves the Lord, the parent goes to church. The parent believes in the Bible and the child has gotten tangled up with a lost and dying world, liberal mindset. And now they hate the fact that their parents seem to have chosen Jesus over them. Well, I want to tell you that I chose Jesus over my children a long time ago. I love my children. Two of them are here today, I think. I know one is and they know that I'll die for them. But I will not put them in front of Jesus. One of these days, the only one that will matter will be Jesus. So I want to say to some of you who are suffering because your family is all divided and you're thinking, well, maybe I've been too hard. Maybe I read the Bible too much. Maybe I forced the kids to go to church too much. You did not. You did the right thing. And don't you dare let the devil make you feel guilty for bringing up a child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? That's what you were supposed to do. That's what you vowed to do. And that's why he gave them to you. Don't be upset. Don't be shocked when in-laws suddenly turn on you. Oh, should

I say it again? I have favorite sayings. And one of those favorite sayings is nothing can mess up a good family like a bad in-law. The only problem is we don't get to choose who our in-laws are a lot of times. And for some reason, daughters in law resent the fact that their sons still love their mother. What happened? What are you talking about? And without getting into a great deal of bramble here, just let me say, don't be surprised if your family is split up and divided because Jesus in Matthew 13, I'm just going to turn one page over. I read this, "Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house." His disciples came to him saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tears and the field." He answered and said, and he made it really simple. "He who shows the good seed is the Son of Man." That's Jesus. The field is the world. That's easy. The good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. That's us. But the tears are the sons of the wicked one. That's them. "The enemy who sold them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore, as the tears are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom. Cut them out. Divide them. Separate them out of His kingdom. All things that offend. Everything that's opposed to Christ, everything that's opposed to Christ's children, stumbling blocks, temptations, tests, wickedness of all kind. He will cut it out, separate it. He will remove it, and those who practice lawlessness, those who live for themselves, those who have never met Jesus, he will remove from His kingdom, and will cast Him into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. The righteous will shine forth as the Son in the kingdom of their Father. He who has an ear led him here. What you can see above everything else here is that Jesus is going to cut into, divide, clean out, separate. That's the God of peace. Then I remember in Matthew 25, Jesus says when the Son of Man comes back in the clouds with power and great glory with all the holy angels, then He will separate the sheep from the goats, and He says the goats will be on the left. You see, He's separating them. The goats will be on the left. The goats are those who have never confessed Christ, never believed on Christ, rejected Christ, and those who mistreated the nation of Israel. He said they'll be on the left, but the sheep will be on the right. Those are the ones that during the tribulation have heard the good news, have believed on it, have received Christ as the king of the kingdom. Those who have respected and protected the

nation of Israel, He calls sheep and they're on the right. Okay, let me go ahead and make a clarification here. I'm not angry. I'm pointed. You parents know the difference, don't you? This is getting on my last nerve here. Every time I mention this passage or being sympathetic to or supporting Israel, people accuse me of being blind, blindly committed to a corrupt nation and corrupt people and corrupt government called Israel. And they say that I don't care how they live or what they do or how many they kill, they're Israel, they're God's people. I wish this would be the last time I have to explain this, but it won't be because people don't listen. I am not a fool and I read the Bible and I know that Israel is not a righteous nation and I know that Israel's government is as corrupt as ours is and any other nation in the world. And I know that 90% of the population of Israel does not even believe in God. They think that all the Old Testament stories are just that, Old Testament stories. I am that lost atheistic blind nation, God has a remnant. God has a people. Now wait, not every, not every Jew is an Israelite, you see, but God does have a remnant. The true Jew, and when they go through the tribulation, and God calls them out, and God protects them, and God sends them to a place, and protects them for three and a half years, they will realize who their Messiah is. They will mourn for Jesus as an only son, and when God finishes, he will have a true and righteous people. He will write their laws on their hearts and in their minds, and they will declare that Jesus is the Messiah, the great deliverer of Israel. So in the 25th chapter of Matthew, one of the requisites, we're being able to go into the kingdom, the thousand-year kingdom, as that people respected and protected those who were being persecuted by the Antichrist, those Jews. But the point I want to make to you, and I want to make it so clear that Jesus is right now dividing, and the Scriptures divide, and the Spirit divides. Matthew, or I should say, Luke chapter 17, listen to these words. They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. I wish I could say this a different way than all the times I've said it in the past, but church for 120 years, people watched Noah and his sons build his ship, and at first it was exciting and they laughed and it was a novelty and people, oh, they took tours over there to watch him work, and they laughed. But after a while they got used to it, and their children grew up, and now this child's 80, and hey, dad, we've been watching that old man do this for 80 years.

What's going on? Just another old man. He's got a crazy idea about some God destroying us somewhere sometime, and they just carried on with life exactly what this country is doing right now. Exactly what this world is doing right now. Likewise, as it was in the days of light, they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built, but on the day that lot went out of Sodom, there's your rapture passage right there. On the day that lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so, it will be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who was on the housetop and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. Likewise, the one who was in the field let him not turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it. Whoever loses his life will preserve it. Are you ready for this? I tell you, in that night, there will be two in one bed. The one will be taken and the other will be left. What's going on? He's dividing. He's separating. Two men will be in the field, the one will be taken, the other left dividing. They answered and said to him, "Where, Lord?" So he said to them, "Wherever the body is, the eagles will be gathered together." Do you understand what's happening here? Now, there are a couple of interpretations to this scripture. There are those that say those that are taken are the ones that will be taken and cast into hell when Jesus comes back and those who are left will be left to go into. who are left are left to suffer the tribulation, but those who are taken go to heaven. What do you think, preacher? Well, you know, I know this. I tell you, I know enough Greek to be dangerous, not intellectual. And that word taken there comes from a Greek word, and it's paralambano. And it means to receive with love, to take gently with love. In fact, it's the same word used in John, chapter 14, verse 2, "Let not your heart be troubled." You believe in God. Believe also in me in my father's house or many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you, I'm going to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also. That's the same word. Jesus is going to gently. It'll be forcefully, but it will be lovingly. He will snatch us to be with Him forever. So whichever side you're on, just know this. Somebody's going to be left, and somebody's going to be taken. One place is going to be good, and the other place is going to be very bad, because Christ is a divider. And Christ means to cleanse this earth from that which offends Him. So this is all about separation.

It's all about dividing. But I want you to know, and it comes from the Scripture that we read this morning, that we're supposed to be doing that kind of separating and dividing right now. That we have been called by God to come out of this world, to come out of this world and separate ourselves and present ourselves to God, to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit and perfect holiness in the fear of God. James said, "Be afflicted and mourn. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaven is humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord will lift you up." There it is. Today, right now, I have the obligation to keep myself separated from this present evil world. There's not much of a call for that these days for coming out, being different, separating yourself. I remember when the program called Evangelism Explosion kind of swept across the church world, and you're supposed to just go out into the marketplace and just be what they are and adjust and assimilate and hope that you can drop a seed in among some of these groups and believers, and maybe they'll get saved. Well, I don't have that view. See, I don't think that you can affect people if you compromise who Jesus is in your life. And the thing about Evangelism, you always have to do the compromising. So you won't be offensive, so you won't hurt anybody. If you tell them there's only one way, they get hurt. That's hurt. Well, I want you to know, and you do know it, but I like to say it, there is only one way. There is really only one faith, and this is the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, you see. I don't back up. I don't apologize for that kind of dogma. I don't water it down. I don't lessen it because it may offend somebody. Folks, the problem now is we don't have enough holiness and enough power to even be offensive to the world. They don't resent us anymore. They join us now. We don't present a threat to them. There's no conviction that makes them feel uneven. the program of everybody else. And I can't help it. I got to say it, and I'm not going to leave this pulpit when I say it. What we need is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God that will make us hungry for righteousness, that will make us strive for holiness, that will make us work at being separate from this world, so that our lives might glorify God in all that we do every day.

I read over there at that thirty-second chapter, I got a whole lot out of it this week. If you'll notice, Moses saw that the people were unrestrained, Aaron had not restrained them. They were ashamed in front of their enemies. Their enemies were laughing at them. They're supposed to be the people of God, but they act like everybody else in the world. So Moses went to the entrance and stood there and said, "Whoever is on the Lord's side, come to me." Wow. Whoever is on the Lord's side, get out of that group and come to me. Notice what he did not say. He did not say, "Stay there and maybe you can make a difference." Boy, do I hear that these days. Well, Lorena, I love to come over there, man, I just love your services, but we belong over to that church because that's where my granny went, that's where my mother and father worshiped. They don't preach the word anymore, I tell you that, nah, oh, no, they don't preach the word, but I figure if I can stay, I can make a difference. Have you made a difference? No, the answer is you have not because the only way to make a difference is to get out of it and have somebody say, "Why aren't you with us anymore? Are you too good for us?" Yes. Yes, because I refuse to listen to a pastor who is not saved, I refuse to listen to liberal politics from the pulpit, I refuse to listen to skin color and culture, I refuse for the church that's supposed to be changing hearts, lives, minds, and souls, I refuse to be a part of something that just wants to have another dinner so we can all have fellowship and have a place to belong. Yeah, I don't do that anymore. I've had an encounter with a risen Jesus. I know what holiness is, and this isn't it.

So I've left the group and I've come out to Moses and I've said, "I'm on the Lord's side." Yes. Man. Now here's the deal, they were worshiping. It's a lot like the worship that goes on in a lot of churches today. I'm not going to get into that too deeply, okay, I don't want to bore you with all of that again. Oh, they were worshiping all right. They were dancing. Read 1 Corinthians chapter 10, Paul says, "This is what they were doing. They were dancing." Okay, I know how it's going to happen. I said it at first service and went to my office and said, "Don't you dare say that at the second service." You know, some of you all puzzled me, "Pastor, why can't I just get in the island dance?" Because you're distracting people. If you want to dance, if it's on you that heavy, slip on out, go into the parking lot. You just had yourself a time? In fact, all y'all care, it's just a holy ghost line dance right out in the parking lot. (audience applauds) He is moving. Do you see what's happening here? He is moving. The truth is being preached. The name of Jesus was lifted up this morning. The Holy Ghost is moving. Oh, but pastor, don't you think God wants us? I think God wants you to be holy. Well, don't you think God wants us to prosper and do well and be successful in life?

I think God wants you to be holy. I don't care about prosperity, I don't care about success, neither does God. He just said, "I want you to be a holy people." I've called you out and unto myself, live a life that glorifies me. Oh, they were having a good time. But I have to say it every once in a while. Sometimes in our services, people repeat everything I say, and you're distracting people around you. Don't do that. Just don't do that. Don't say, "Come on here, brother. Preach it now. What does it look like I'm doing? What do you think I got up this morning for?" I didn't do a solo up here in the choir. I came to what marched to this pool, but you don't have to tell them, "Come on, brother. Preach it now." I am preaching it. And sometimes when people repeat everything I say, "We get the complaints, don't we, faster?" I can't even worship somebody's always repeating everything you say. Don't do that. Consider the people around you. "Oh, this is a twin God. God's been better to me than I've been to myself. Oh, I've got to worship him." No, you're supposed to consider the people around you and decide you. That includes whoever has been whistling up in the balcony. Whistling is not worship. That's noise.

Don't whistle anymore. Is everybody sufficiently nervous right now? Because folks you can't turn holy, true worship into entertainment. You ever notice how in some churches while the preacher is preaching an organ is playing behind him? Everything he says, "But who?" I've got something to say, "But who?" That's crowd manipulation. That's wrong. You don't have to have that thing behind you going on. I don't care what color you are. White guys tried a lot now, "Ugh." See, his spirit doesn't have to be manipulated. You don't have to help him out. God can work in silence. God can work in beautiful order. Of course, those people were dancing, and they were shouting, and they were singing, and they were having fellowship, and that's what most people think church is now. Just a group of people, we go together and we sing, but God didn't see it that way. God saw it as irreverent. When you dance around a golden calf and call it worship unto the Lord, that's irreverent, and that's ungodly, and that's exactly what they were doing, and they were frivolous, and they were laughing. Paul said they sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to play, and they committed immorality in the very presence of the calf they were supposed to be worshiping. See, you can make an idol out of anything. You can, in church, that's what I mean, in church. You can make an idol out of politics in church. God helped the preacher that preaches politics. I'll repeat this.

You can make an idol out of skin color and culture in church. Everything revolves around that. ever think that this church cannot go on without me. And I hope right now you're checking the scriptures to see if what I'm telling you is the truth. Check it out. You can make an idol out of your children. Your children can make you compromise your convictions and change your doctrine. That was the problem with these people who danced around that altar. The other problem was Moses was up on the mountain with God and Joshua. And so they just picked a leader who would be better than Aaron. Aaron was an unqualified, self-appointed pastor. The call of God was not on him to do that, but he thought, "Hey, I can lead people as well as my brother can." That's the problem with a lot of churches today. You've got people in the pulpit who are self-appointed and unqualified. And notice what Aaron did not do. He did not correct them. He would not defy them. He says, "Whatever you want, whatever will make you happy, make us a God, Aaron, make us a symbol of our deliverance from Egypt." He said, "All right, give me your gold earrings." And there must have been a lot of them. I don't know how big the calf was, but it was big enough for thousands and thousands to see in the center and dance around. And he made a golden calf, and they did just that. And he said, "Now, tomorrow we're going to call this a feast to the Lord. We're going to call this abomination. We're going to try to sanctify this abomination and call it a feast to the Lord." Oh, how that's going on in churches today. Everything they're doing is against scripture. Everything is in the flesh, but they sanctify it unto the Lord. Well, ladies and gentlemen, they didn't want to hear Moses anymore. They said, "Well, we don't even know what's happened to Moses. He's gone. That old man is gone." All he did when he was down here is tell us, "No, don't go here. Don't go there. Don't do this. Don't do that. We don't want to hear that anymore. We just want to eat and drink and play and worship. Don't correct us anymore. We want to do what we want to do." And that's exactly what they got out of Aaron. No leadership, no spunk. And that's when Moses showed up and he dashed the commandments at the foot of the mountain and said, "Who is on the Lord's side? Come to me. Come to me." See, a division, a separation. Who wants God? Who wants to be free from idolatry? Who wants true spiritual worship? Come to me. Who wants to know the right way in the real God? Come to me. And you know who did it first? And only the Levites. They walked away from all those people. And Moses said, "If you really mean business, pull your swords out and get rid of the

people who have offended a great and holy God." And they did. They did it. That doesn't mean we do that. That was God showing us in the Old Testament. He is serious about our coming out of this world and being separate. Did we read 2 Corinthians 6 and 7? Did we? We're about to. So why don't you turn there and let's see now how Paul capped all of this off. 2 Corinthians 6 beginning with verse 14. I was going to read it twice anyway. Ready? Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. What fellowship? What a core has Christ with Belial. What part has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God. They shall be my people. Therefore. You see that? Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch the unclean thing. I will receive you. I'll be your father to you and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Almighty. Next verse. Therefore, having these promises beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Holiness. Get rid of the flesh. Get rid of the filth of the flesh. Get rid of the filth in our spirits and perfect holiness, perfect sanctification, being set apart, being different, being separated, being divided, work at it all the time and present yourself to me. Who is on the Lord's side? Stand with me, please. I made a note. I want to read it to you, just a little short note. It hit me when I was reading that the Levites came out. Moses said, come to me. You see, if you don't separate yourself, if you don't stay in the presence of God, you tend to blend. If you camp out in the world, run around with the world, you tend to blend, to become what they are, to talk the way they do, to think the way they do, to have the same values they do. And that's why this book is constantly telling us, be separate, be different, and we are. Now, here's another thing I want you to know. I was brought up in Pentecost. Who knows what that means? Slip your hand up. Here's what being brought up in Pentecost means to me, and I fight it all the time. It means that at the end of every service, there's got to be an explosion. Something real big's got to happen, something loud, and you want people going out saying, wow, wow. So ministers will concoct things so that the people will remember the end.

I'm not doing that today. I'm not giving an altar call. I'm not saying, who wants to do this, and who wants to be that? Nope. Take it home. Just take it home. At some point, this is not about an experience you have at the end of a service. It's about a life you live when you leave this building. That's why I tell people who have drug problems, stay away from people that have them. You're not going to win them. Alcohol, run from it. Pornography, throw everything away that can get you there. Be desperate, be merciless with yourself, because the day is coming when he's going to separate the sheet from the goats, he's going to bind up the tears and burn them, but he's going to take the wheat into his barn. That day's coming. And when it does, I want to be able to say, I did it before you got here, Lord. I separated myself from all of those things. So, Peyton is playing. I have decided to follow Jesus. It's not quick. There's no double time to it. I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back. Here's an important verse, "Though none go with me, still I will follow." No turning back, no turning back. Everybody that meant what your song left up your hand. My mind's made up. I'm going to see Jesus. My mind is made up. There's nothing else in this world I'm pursuing. I want you to be blessed when you walk out of here, but I want you to walk out with this burning in your heart. Jesus could come before Wednesday night, I believe that. He could. So I got to spend the afternoon saying, "Even so come Lord Jesus, I'm ready right now." I want to ask you to raise your hand again if you know right now without any doubt whatsoever. If he comes right now, you'll meet him. Lift your hand up. Hallelujah, walk out of this place in the comfort of the Holy Spirit and let the Holy

Word of God guide you. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight. O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer, amen. Love you church.
