Beware Of Wolves 00:05:52
But here's listen listen to you guys help me preach beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing But inwardly They are it's raging the word means wolves ravenous ravenous, but they're raging they're they're they're devouring right so they're they look like sheep But they're not sheep.
They're wolves And that's what happened to me.
I had several preachers come to me and say Jim They're going to come for you.
They're going to destroy you.
We want to help you And we're going to help so they don't hurt you.
So would you just turn your ministry to us?
And I did.
Wow.
They could, I was in for life.
There was no way that they could have done this to me.
I did it to myself.
I just said, oh, sure, I'll step aside for 30 to 90 days.
But the day after I turned it over to them, they said, you never can come back.
It changed.
They were wolves in sheep's clothing.
And I'm not trying to judge.
I'm just saying, this is what.
He says, you'll know them by their fruits.
Fruit.
Hold on.
Wow.
You will know them by their fruit.
Well, that's the next line from the Bible.
Do men gather grapes from the thorns or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree beareth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bears evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bear good fruit.
You hear me?
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore, by their fruit, hound on something.
By their fruit, you shall know them.
And I said, God, what is the fruit?
He said, you know that.
He said, the fruit of the Spirit.
So, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
And so he said, but God, you know, I talk to God in prison a lot.
But I said, God, you told me not to judge anybody.
And here you're telling me I'm going to know them by their fruit.
He said, you don't go around, when you look at an apple tree or a fruit tree, you don't judge it.
The other day I said, wow, look at all these pears on this tree.
I didn't judge the tree.
I just said, it's a pear tree.
It's a pear tree.
Is that judging it?
No, no.
He said, you'll know them by their fruit.
You better listen to me because if you got some people messing with you, you better listen to me.
Wow.
And so I look at apple tree.
That's an apple tree.
I see that.
And so this is what God spoke to me.
This is how God healed me by his word.
I was listening to damnation from ministers even on television said, Jim's no good.
So I'm sitting in prison saying, Lord, they said I'm no good.
These are men of God.
Wow.
He said, you know, that you can have sheep, but there really was.
And I said, well, God, help me with this.
This is the revelation I had from God on this part of Scripture.
He said, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, you, have we not prophesied and preached in your name?
My God.
These are, listen to this.
And cast out demons in your name.
These are Holy Ghost people.
They're supposed to be.
They're working miracles.
They're casting out demons.
He says, in his name, they prophesied in the name of the Lord.
In your name, cast out demons in your name and done many wonderful works.
In your name.
Haven't we done that?
He says, that's what he's saying.
You know, that word wonderful works.
You know what it means?
That word means dunamis.
You know the word dunamis.
That's power, dynamite.
That's what it means.
They're saying, oh, we were dynamite preachers.
We had dynamite choirs.
We're dynamite.
One of the actors on TV used to say, I'm dynamite, you know.
And that's what this word is.
It's dynamite.
JJ.
But I will declare to them, they're saying, I did this, I cast out there.
But I will declare to them, I never knew you.
Workers of initiative.
Now, that doesn't mean God never saw them.
Because God sees everything.
Absolutely.
Look it up in the Greek.
That's what you have time in prison.
That's what they call it doing time.
So I studied every word.
When I found something that didn't work, I said, this is, but I never knew you.
That word know is this new, is the same word that Mary used that she said, I've never known a man.
Long-Suffering Love 00:02:15
Intimate relationship is this.
Wow.
So what is Jesus saying?
This is the words of Jesus.
And he says, then, I never had an intimate relationship with you.
That's where these fruitless people, these people that are not bearing the fruit of the Spirit, I never knew you.
Depart from me, you who practice evil.
Wow.
That's what God's saying to people who cast out devils, people who, you know, okay, what are the fruit?
What's the fruit of the Spirit?
Name of fruit.
Okay, love, love, let's stop, stop.
Love.
So God said, did the people that put you in prison, did these preachers show love to you?
No.
What's the next one?
Joy.
Joy.
Did they have any joy?
No, they were.
You know, told the world I was no good.
Joy?
Peace.
Were they peaceful?
No, sir.
No, they tore up me and the world and 3,000 employees that worked for me got destroyed also.
Nobody, if they're of God, why wouldn't they think of those people?
And that's what we're talking about.
That's exactly.
It was all verbal.
Wow.
Patience, gentleness, long-suffering.
Were they gentle?
No.
Were they?
Huh?
No.
Were they long-suffering?
Were they gentle?
No, sir.
I went to him, begged, crying, please let me come back.
I can save this thing.
This is my baby, basically.
I know how to save this.
You'll never come back.
Well, they just told me hours before that they were going to help me and they were going to bring me back in a month or so.
And I shouldn't tell these stories, but this is what happened to me.
So I understood that they damned me to hell with their words.
What's another fruit of the Spirit?
When we said peace, patience?
Did we talk about that?
Patience?
That's the fruit of the Spirit?
Did they have patience?
No, sir, they did not.
I was there.
They weren't long-suffering.
No, they were not.
Had no self-control.
How about self-control?
