Have you Heard

By Elder Anthony Berry

This message goes in line with the “I can’t get no satisfaction”; how many times have you thought that you were hearing things, or thought someone called you and you looked around and saw no one there. You may have thought you were hearing things and in fact you were. What you experienced is the other factor of not being able to find any satisfaction in life. This is the real reason why we sometimes feel helpless, and don’t think we have a way out. This is due to Satan, and his network of fallen angels that were cast out of heaven with him (Isaiah 14:12-17, Jude 6-9). These are the ones who whisper in the ears of man 24 hours a day seven days a week without ceasing. These are the same angels that report the words that come out of our mouths to their chief prince Satan. The prince of the power of the air; for the ungodly they give evil men the secrets to attain much wealth and a false good life. They appeal to an evil man’s love of money, and tell him how to work a system. They also whisper in the ears of the poor the sorrow that they are in, and lie in wait for someone that has the “I will succeed at all costs” attitude. These members of the principality of Satan give people a false sense of the power of the Adversary, and give his followers the impression that he has more power than he really has. Satan cannot read your mind, he and his agents act on what we utter out of our mouths. They can even hear it when we whisper. This is why the Lord says “When you go into your closet to pray…”, this doesn’t mean to literally go into the closet, but it means to pray silently. It means that we internalize our prayers. When we pray this way the devil can’t hinder our answer from the Lord.
The other side of this coin is the subliminal suggestion of the devil. Because the whispering of Satan and his imps can’t be heard in the physical plain they are just beyond the hearing of other people. The person being whispered to; are the only ones able to hear what is being whispered. We all have a demon that is assigned to us; just as well as a guardian Angel. When we listen to the guardian angel we will hear the voice of wisdom, the goodness of God, and ways out of temptation. When we listen to the voice of the demon, we hear the voice of lust, temptation and confusion.
They whisper in the ears of the cross dresser and the homosexual that they are the way they are because they were born that way (lie one). They put the ideas in the head firstly, they we act on the picture that we have seen in our mind, and act on these whims physically. These are the people that hate the bible and want to destroy it, because God has called the homosexual lifestyle abominable. I wonder if anyone ever stopped to wonder why God feels this way about this lifestyle. Well here is the answer: In Genesis 1:27 God tells the man and the woman to be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth… there were only a handful of people on the earth at the time, and replenish in this case means to repopulate. Homosexual relationships can produce no children; this is why the Lord God frowns on these types of relationships. In Genesis 3:16 God speaks about the seed of the woman (the main seed to come through a woman Jesus Christ) and the seed of the serpent (the adversary Lucifer/Satan, also the Anti Christ). The seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent, but in the meantime his heel would be bruised. This happened when Christ lived his life sinless, and beyond reproach, and was sacrificed for the world.
Everything that Satan had done to this point was to attempt to stop Christ from coming into the world. This is why it is recorded in Romans chapter1, about how man though himself wise (through the wisdom of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) and gave credit for creation, miracles and blessings to gods that they made with their own hands. God then allowed them to get lost in their sin and idolatry to the point that they started to have sex with themselves, and the women also. Once again; this is the whispering of evil spirits that would have us believe that when we have such thought they are ours. But they are not. God destroyed Sodom (where the word sodomy comes from) and Gomorrah (Gen 19:24-25). These men were very bold in their actions. Two angels went in to see Lot to tell him that the city was going to be destroyed because of the city’s wickedness, and lo and behold, the men of the city were attracted to the Angels. Angels are very beautiful; and these men wanted to have sex with the Angels. They broke down the front gates of Lot’s estate, and were going to rape the Angels. They didn’t know the power of Angels, and the Angels blinded all of those men. Before this Lot didn’t know these were Angels (this is why the bible says be careful how you entertain strangers, there could be Angels in disguise). Lot even offered these men his daughters because Lot wanted to protect these men, not being aware of whom they were at the time (Gen 19).
These days because of Satan, and people in high places living the homosexual lifestyle, the civil rights movement has been used to force the homosexual lifestyle’s acceptance. Even when we look at television there is a strong homosexual presence to contend with. Please don’t think that this sermon is gay bashing, because it is not. Even if wicked people do get their way and ban the bible, God will never accept the lifestyle. The Lord has put before us Life and death. We may have our own opinion and sometimes try to impress them upon God, but God is not impressionable. While he knows what it is to go through various temptations we only have two choices; life or death.
(Lie number two) there are controversial verses in the bible. The bible says that great is the mystery of Godliness, and this is without controversy. The controversy being that God almighty was able to be embodied in a fleshly tabernacle (John 1:14, Phil. 2:5-9, I Tim 3:16, Heb. 10:1-6), don’t pertain to our human interpretation. Then again neither does any scripture.
There is a spirit among men that try to make homosexuality favorable in the sight of God. This can never be, no matter how much we can try to change the fact; God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and sodomy was part of the wickedness practiced there.

Dear heart; homosexuality, just like all unrighteousness can be conq
