WORKS OF THE FLESH

There are many things in the Bible we must know. We must understand what each word means. Each is very important to your soul. Your soul will live somewhere.

GALATIANS 5:19-21--Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest. This is the kind of bread the Devil has on his table. The works of the flesh make the Devil happy. These are the fruits on the Devil’s table.

There are so many ways to commit Adultery: Adultery can be committed without marriage, but fornication can’t. Spiritual adultery is as dangerous and damnable as natural adultery.

If you are a member of The Church Of God Of Prophecy and you join another denomination you are committing spiritual Fornication: You don’t have to go over to another denomination to committee spiritual lust.

Uncleanness: Just wishing you were there with them and saying they are as good as The Church of God Of Prophecy, you are committing spiritual lust. Spiritual lust is as bad as natural lust. It will kill your Salvation just as fast. If your heart is unclean, your ways are unclean.

Lasciviousness: You can’t do that but I can and I can stay out of Church.

Idolatry is anything you put ahead of God. We must put God first. Your car, television, money, anything here on earth can be your idol or god.

Witchcraft: Is being stubborn or rebellious and full of “I don’t likes”. So many people have lost their way because they were rebellious and didn’t like God’s doctrine. They have to have it their way, not God’s way. Stay away from the spirit of witchcraft.

Hatred: People say I don’t know why I don’t like those Church Of God Of Prophecy people, I just don’t. Hatred is married to malice and malice has a daughter named envy and envy has a son named Spite.

These seventeen dishes are lined up on the Devil’s table just waiting for your enjoyment.

Variance: Is argumentative and wayward people.

Emulations: Are jealous people. Jealousy is one of the easy works of the Devil you can see. When you eat from one plate on his table you find yourself dinning on all of them.

Wrath: Is a person who takes the truth and cast it down and stomps on it. They are a wrathful person and they are eating from all the other dishes. There is poor judgment in wrath. These people are mad because God didn’t choose them. God didn’t chose them because what is in their hearts. Not long ago I heard the Lord say, Fear not the people that is leaving me, don’t fear for them, for I have not chosen them.

Strife: One who causes trouble.

SEDITIONS: An uprising spirit. It will seduce you and the more you are seduced the more sin you take on. It is an uprising against the Good, the Righteous, and the Holy. This is what’s happening in the Church today. These people are seduced and are in the mist of an uprising. Don’t get caught up with them.

There is a big hole in the middle of the Church house floor that is called the WELL of DECEIT. Don’t fall in it. You will never return.

HERESIES: Is what’s being preached now. They say God wants us to do this and God wants us to do that, they don’t even know that they don’t know God or what He wants.

ENVYINGS: Goes back to connect with hate. The more you envy, the more you don’t like.

MURDERS: Killing people in the flesh, and killing Holy People Spirit. Talking against the Righteous. Down playing everything God is and everything God has been.

DRUNKNESS: People are drunk on the flesh. They say I can go to church and worshiped the way I want, wear what I want and look like Jezebel.

REVELLINGS: Always wanting a good time. And such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

What is the Kingdom of God? There is a difference in the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of God is the Father, the Redeemer, and the Holy Ghost. That is the Kingdom of God on this earth. The Kingdom of Heaven is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost up in heaven, if you get to go there.

LUKE 16:16--The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

God is not pouring it out on you. You must want it, you must seek it, you must come for it and you must beg for it. You must serve the Lord to keep it. You must work for the Lord if you want to inherit the Kingdom of God. He is our God.

Let us worship Him. Put God first in everything and He will pour out His blessings on us. We must not eat anything that the Devil has on his table, no matter how sweet it may be.

ACT 19:12

So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

This Sermon has been anointed and prayed over by saints of God. We trust that you will use this for the healing of your body.
