"People are mystical. That's why they believe in Me. It has nothing to do with My covenant", said the Lord.
Preacher {Howard Pittman} DIES and God tells him this
God's Intro
"I want to warn you about preachers like Howard Pittman. They said they were God's servants. But they were from hell because they were doing things out of their human nature {like the religious duty in the Pharisee} and not My Spirit", said the Lord.
Zechariah 4:6
Modern English Version
6 And he said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts.
"Amen", said Jesus ... "Keep the platter clean by inner regeneration and new birth".
Matthew 23:24-26
Authorized (King James) Version
The Platter
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Titus 3:4-7
Authorized (King James) Version
Inner Regeneration
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
John 3:1-8
Authorized (King James) Version
The New Birth
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Romans 8:9
Living Bible
9 But you are not like that. You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that if anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ living in him, he is not a Christian at all.)
The Lord continues His revelation ...
"I'm trying to tell you that these people in church aren't real. If they were, they'd be trying to make themselves more adamant about obeying Me in the Gospel truths of scripture. Look at what they do. The don't listen to Me. They listen to their truths in the way they interpret scripture".
"That's why I'm telling you who I am. I'm the one that writes in you. So, these words are Mine, not yours. No matter what or who they think they are, there's more power in one word of Mine than their whole truth. I'm the Lord, not them or their scripture".
Matthew 24:35
Modern English Version
35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
1 Peter 1:22-25
Modern English Version
22 Since your souls have been purified by obedience to the truth through the Spirit unto a genuine brotherly love, love one another deeply with a pure heart,
23 for you have been born again, not from perishable seed, but imperishable, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
24 For
“All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
This is the word that was preached to you.
Isaiah 55:6-11
Modern English Version
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Modern English Version
The Revelation by God’s Spirit
6 Yet we speak wisdom among those who are mature, although not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory.
8 None of the rulers of this age knew it. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written,
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? Likewise, no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.
13 These things also we proclaim, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he who is spiritual judges all things. Yet he himself is not judged by anyone.
16 For
“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.
Matthew 7:13-29
Modern English Version
This Passage Implies That Most Church Workers Are False Prophets
The Narrow Gate
13 “Enter at the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who are going through it,
14 because small is the gate and narrow is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruit. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit. But a corrupt tree bears evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a corrupt tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore, by their fruit you will know them.
I Never Knew You
21 “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.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works in Your name?’
23 But then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil.’
The Two Housebuilders
24 “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock.
25 And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it did not fall, for it was founded a rock.
26 And every one who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27 And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. And it fell. And its fall was great.”
28 When Jesus finished these sayings, the people were astonished at His teaching,
29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Most people believe in Jesus because they're mystical, but they're not born again. The mysticism makes them serve Jesus in church like Howard Pittman did before he was converted, but they're false conversions. The real Christians are cast out of church by them because they're real. The real Christians aren't the preachers because the false are fighting them for that position.
False prophets have not been born again, and they don't have that born-again need to please God and to keep Him first above self and the pleasures of the flesh (Mt. 6:3, 4/ Rom. 8:1-13; 13:13, 14/ Gal. 5:13-26). So, they're serving themselves. Their self is their god and they're fighting real Christians for the pulpit.
The flesh is not about pleasing God (Rom. 8:5-8). It seeks to put self, first. "Looking out for number 1" is the world's motto. People have a need to pursue their best interests at the expense of others best interests. "It's a dog-eat-dog world" they say in the world. Their ways can be seen in their saying about money, "Get all you can. Can all you get. Then sit on the can".
They don't know God, so they fight to get what they want (Jms. 4:1-10). If they knew God, they would know that everything belongs to God and when you want something, you can ask God for it instead of fight people for it (Mt. 6:19-34 thru 7:1-12).
The World, the Pharisee and the False Prophets Do Not Accept God
Because They Cannot See or Know Him
John 14:17
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him, for He lives {in you}.
The World Doesn't Know God
John 17:25
Modern English Version
25 “O righteous Father, the world has not known You, but I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.
The World, the Pharisee and the False Prophet Don't Love You Because You're Not One of Them
They Hate You
They Have to Know You to Love You
John 15:19
Modern English Version
19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, the world therefore hates you.
The World, the Pharisee and the False Prophet Fight for Position in Church
But God's True Sheep Don't Fight. They're Non-Violent
John 18:36
Modern English Version
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight, that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here.”
God's True Prophets Are Born Again God Pleasers Not Self Pleasers
Matthew 6:3-4
Modern English Version
3 But when you do your charitable deeds, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 that your charitable deeds may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.
Ephesians 6:6
Modern English Version
6 not serving when eyes are on you, but as pleasing men as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
Galatians 1:10
Modern English Version
10 For am I now seeking the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? For if I were still trying to please men, I would not be the servant of Christ.
In Matthew 6:3, 4 Jesus shows the world what it's like to be born-again. Christians don't, like the world, do things to please themselves by pleasing others. They do things secretly to appease that born-again need to please God within. We do things when alone to please God. We don't do things in public for money, power, fame or position to please self and others. We want to please God within us, not please self within by pleasing others.
In Ephesians 6:6 the apostle Paul tells us that true prophets don't please people when their eyes are on them. But they do it from the heart because their heart's been born-again, as Ezekiel 36:25-27 reveals.
In Galatians 1:10 the apostle Paul says that Christ's servants seek the approval of and to please God, not people. If you're born-again, you're not going to try to please men. You're going to please God when you're alone and when no one but God can see you, because your heart has new and holy desires from the Holy Spirit when He made you born-again (Ti. 3:4-7).
Thus, the false prophets fight the true born-again church with the world. They are of the world and have the world's ways. They fight for position, money and power. They are a worldly church; dead, with no God the Holy Spirit inside them through the born-again experience. False prophets. Thus, the real Christians are not the preachers. People, like Howard Pittman was before he met the Lord, are the preachers. False prophets.
What is a False Prophet?
False prophets are regular people who are into church with religious tenet. They haven't been born again so they don't have the divine of the Holy Spirit nature that makes them God's child (2 Pt. 1:4/ Rom. 8:9). The divine nature is a born-again heart and spirit with the need to please God and put Him first above self (Eze. 36:25-27/ Mt. 6:24-33).
What are regular people about? Self. Their best interests and personal welfare. They do what's best for themselves and bring out the best in them and others. They please themselves. Regular and unregenerate people have a selfish need to be valued and loved. That's their need in their heart for God. They try to please this need by pleasing self and putting that need; self, first.
People, to esteem their "self", fight for what's best for themselves at the expense of others. They want the best job, the most money, to look the best. They want the best house, the best car, the best people. They do all this to make themselves feel good. To be the best, the strongest, the fastest. "Better, stronger, faster".
They fight like this to appease their self; that need to feel good about themselves and to be loved; or, held in esteem by others. They fight, war and kill for position, power, money and fame (Jms. 4:1-10). What they're trying to do, is fill that need to feel valued and to be the best, which comes from God's Presence, or, the baptism into the Holy Spirit, by fighting for what's best and for what they want and what pleases their self.
When a regular person like this gets involved in church activities, they are false prophets fighting to be the Pastor. Because they're violent, they defeat a lot of God's true sheep and as the old saying goes, "Jesus sits outside the church with the true prophets".
Jesus Sits Outside Church Services Because the Preaches are False Prophets
"Do you know why they're false? Because they don't know Me. If they did, they wouldn't be doing things like that!" said the Lord ...
Jesus said to me,
"They {false prophets} are ghosts. We are getting rid of the false ones around you in the Spirit".
1 John 4:1-6
Modern English Version
Test the Spirits
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is already in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 They are of the world, and therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
6 We are of God, and whoever knows God listens to us. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
The Holy Spirit is confirming and teaching us with this passage what Jesus is talking about when He, in red above, called false prophet's ghosts ... Verse 1 says that spirits are false prophets. Verse 3 calls them "the spirit of the antichrist". A singular noun in verse 3 that describes hordes of evil spirits in verses 1 and 2.
Verse 4 reveals that because the Holy Spirit inside of us Christians is greater than he who is in the world, that the false prophets are people that have the spirit of the antichrist inside them in hordes like we Christians are people that have the Holy Spirit inside us.
Verse 5 reveals kindred spirits of the antichrist inside of human false prophets. They are of the world, and they therefore speak from the world and the world listens to them. This implies that their values are not God given. But serve self's best interests, personal welfare and values. Money, power, fame and position.
Thus, the false prophets are ghosts that are around us in the spirit world ...
Why is God Condemning People Who Did What He said in the Bible
And Witnessed and Held Church Services?
Why are people like this? Why are they called false prophets by Jesus? Because they're not born again. Like the Pharisees, they're doing religious duty in the flesh thinking they're serving God. They're false because they haven't been born again. When you get baptized into the Holy Spirit, you're going to know you met God. If preachers don't have a testimony about an encounter with God, they're false prophets. These are the people in Matthew 7:21-23 that Jesus will condemn as false on judgement day.
I know what I'm talking about because my baptism into the Holy Spirit, which occurred in 1991, is the most real thing about God that I have. I know I'm saved regardless of what I did or of happens because I can still pray in tongues and still feel like I'm in the clouds. This is called the Anointing (1 Jn, 2:20-27/ 1 Cor. 12:1-11/ Mk. 16:15-18/ Lk. 10:18-20/ Acts 1:6-8). The anointing is the presence of God within our bodies. The righteousness, peace and joy of living inside the Holy Spirit ...
Psalm 16:11
Modern English Version
11 You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Luke 17:20-21
Modern English Version
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 When He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation.
21 Nor will they say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For remember, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Romans 14:17
Authorized (King James) Version
17 for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
What Does Jesus Mean by "People Are Mystical" in the Title of This Message?
"People are false because they're mystical", said the Lord ...

Revelation 17:7, 8
Authorized (King James) Version
Mysticism in the Human Nature Shows Itself in Marvel, Mystery and Wonder
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Mystical means superstitious. Being mystical goes back to the human nature of the false prophet, or, the Pharisee. If you don't have the Holy Spirit inside you to quench that mystical and superstitious feeling, you're going to be mystical without Him.
Jesus says in red above that because people are superstitious, that it is the main reason why people are in church trying to serve God without being born again. They're not doing it because they've been born again or to please God, they're doing it because they're superstitious.
Again, their god is "self" and they're serving self in doing church services. Meaning that they're appeasing that superstitious feeling inside them by talking to you about Jesus. False prophets. God doesn't know them and didn't send them.
Why People Are Mystical
The Lord tells me to include in this post more detail for your understanding about why people are mystical. The Lord wants you to understand. The Lord says that it is because He is not inside their hearts.
The Lord made the human heart to be His tabernacle and home. The mysticism is a longing for His missing presence. When God takes up residence inside the human heart, the human's mysticism is cured and fellowship with God is reunited.
God is a Spirit, which is to say that He is Supernatural
God does Supernatural Marvels; Miracles and the New Birth,
To Cure the Mysticism inside of Unsaved People
John 5:20
Modern English Version
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these so that you may marvel.
John 3:5-8
Modern English Version
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
When the Lord leaves a human being, as He did with the human race because of sin (Gen. 3), people become mystical. Mysticism is the human heart longing for their God. The human heart is designed for God to live inside it. Mysticism is the result of God gone from the human heart. Mysticism is the absence of God.
I was all about self, best interests and superstitious too before I got baptized into the Holy Spirit. When I met the Lord in the baptism into the Holy Spirit filled, all that and His Presence inside me, changed my life, because to appease that anointing became my pursuit. No more self-pleasing, but now I became God pleasing.
Revelation 17:7-9 above is a scriptural reference about mysticism. The word "mysticism" also means to make people marvel and wonder about mystery. Inquiring minds want to know everything.
Like children, the dead, or those that have not been born again, are superstitious and inquiring into mysteries that make them marvel and wonder. The devil also uses this to lead people away from Jesus, like in the story of the Pied Piper. He stole children by leading them way from their town with the magical sounds of his pipe.
Led Zeppelin also had a line about the piper in their song, "Stairway to Heaven",
Click Me to hear the piper leads us from God's word to our own sense of reason
through our mysticism and wonder
This Message is an Example of Doing God-Service and Not Self-Service
People that don't know God, or rather that God doesn't know; people who are dead and not filled with the Holy Spirit, don't get messages from God within about what to write about or what to do to serve Him. They create their own messages to serve themselves. It sounds real but God knows the heart's motive.
I got this message from the Lord a couple weeks ago. An angel told me that my next message is going to be that people are mystical. I usually get the message right away. This time God took about two weeks to get the message to me, because He first took me to Howard Pittman's video about false prophets.
God took me to Howard Pittman's video too in making this message. He said to me about it, "Learn from that. Use that what you learn". So, I searched for the video and made the first message titled, "The Last Message".
I understood from reviewing Mr. Pittman's message and from writing The Last Message (God teaches me and speaks to me as I write for Him. My messages teach both you and me) that false prophets are seen in Jesus' messages to the Pharisees. God used Howard Pittman to tell us to use the Pharisees in the Bible to learn what false prophets are.
Let's do a brief study on the Pharisee to show you that false prophets are of the world, and thus, they're self-serving, which is to say that they're about money, power, fame and position, not about God first. Their self is first.
The Pharisees
(Matthew chapters 6, 7 and 23)
In Jesus' message to Howard Pittman, He compared him to the Pharisee. There's not much said in the Bible to refer to about the personalities of false prophets. To find what Jesus has to say about false prophets today, we have to look at the Pharisee because that's what they were.
Jesus said a lot about the Pharisee. Matthew chapters, 6, 7 and 23 are full of insights into the personalities of the false prophet to look for today in church. If you do a search in the Bible for "false prophets", you'll get some general insights. But to find specific personality traits, you need to study about the Pharisee.
To clearly understand what I'm talking about when I say that the false prophets of today are into position, power, money and fame instead of God first, we need to look at the Pharisee because that's how they were.
Traits of the False Prophet Seen in the Pharisee
Jesus Compares Himself to the Pharisee
In the following studies on Matthew chapters six and twenty-three, Jesus shows one character trait throughout both chapters that was in Himself, which is also the trait of the true reborn disciple of God. What was in Jesus is now in the reborn and Spirit-filled Christian today. The holy desire to please God.
God First
Trait of the True Prophet
The Spiritual Need in the Holy Ghost Within to Please God by Keeping Him First
In Matthew chapter six, Jesus reveals the character traits of God's people throughout the entire chapter. Let's begin with verses 1 to 4. Here, Jesus shows us what it means to please God, and how to do it. For the born-again Christian, this supernatural desire to please God becomes second nature. It becomes part of your character.
To Please God Within
Not Self Within
Matthew 6:3
Living Bible
3 But when you do a kindness to someone, do it secretly—don’t tell your left hand what your right hand is doing.
4 And your Father, who knows all secrets, will reward you.
Matthew 6:6
Modern English Version
6 But you, when you pray, enter your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:17-18
Modern English Version
17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 so that you will not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
In this passage Jesus is talking about pleasing God within. He instructs us to do things that please God secretly to please. There's no one inside you but God inside your spirit. To please God means to do things that please Him quietly where no one sees but Him.
Most people want to do things to appease people. They want reward and recognition, which are important for your identity. As a Christian what people think of you means nothing because what matters is what God thinks of you; to please God within.
To not let your left hand know what your right is doing, means to hide from your "self", from your mystical human nature, or to deny your "self" and to mortify, or to put to death, your "self", the things you do that please God, in order to please God. Why? Because unregenerate people fight for position. People want to be seen and heard. This passage shows us how to be seen and heard by God alone. If God is in you, you will not want any attention from people for your good works. You'll keep them between you and God.
The Lord compliments this post and says to us,
"If you don't hide it, then you don't know God".
To Keep God First
In Matthew chapter six, it verses 1 to 18 that shoe us how to please God. People that believe in God but that have not been born-again, read these verses and in the flesh, they attempt through will worship and neglect of the body to, in the flesh, obey these verses. But they don't have the Holy Spirit in them with the holy desire to please God by doing these things.
Verses 17 to 34 are about pleasing God worded differently, i.e. to keep God first. In verse thirty-three when Jesus said to seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, He means His prior teachings on how to please God starting with verse one. Keep pleasing God by keeping what you do between Him and you, alone.
And verse thirty-four means that you don't have to plan nothing for your future because everything is supplied for you by God daily, as you please Him. This is what James is talking about in James 4:13-17 saying that it is sin not to please God and to make your own plans for the day.
Matthew 6:33
Authorized (King James) Version
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The Traits of the False Prophets Seen in the Pharisee
Trait One: To Be Seen and Heard by People
Matthew 6:1
Modern English Version
Teaching About Charitable Giving
1 “Be sure that you not do your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 6:5
Modern English Version
The Lord’s Prayer
5 “When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.
Matthew 6:7
Modern English Version
7 But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
Trait one of the false prophet and Pharisee; they do things to be seen and heard by people. On the contrary, in the following verses two to four, Jesus reveals that God in heaven is within you. This is why He says to things secret between Him and you because He's inside you.
However, the Pharisees didn't have God inside them. At this time, in the whole world, only Jesus had God inside His body. Jesus is not only talking about pleasing God the Father in the sky, but God the Father and the Holy Spirit within. God the lives inside the Christian and in the sky. To please God, you keep things secret to please God within ...
Trait Two: Unforgiveness
Matthew 6:14
Modern English Version
14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Trait Three: They Love Treasure More Than God Within
They Please Themselves by Buying Everything They Need to Live
Instead of Knowing God Through the Baptism into the Holy Spirit

Matthew Chapter 23
The Traits of the False Prophet and Pharisee
Hypocrisy of Lawlessness (Mt. 7:23)
To Obey God is a Heavy Load on the Flesh
Because it's Impossible to do it Without the Holy Spirit Inside You
Matthew 23:1-4
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
The Denouncing of the Scribes and Pharisees
1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to His disciples,
2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
3 Therefore, whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do their works. For they speak, but do nothing.
4 They fasten heavy loads {of obedience to God's law} that are hard to carry and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with their finger {because they can't do it either}.
To be Seen by People Not to Be Seen by God Within
Matthew 23:5-7
Modern English Version
5 “They do all their works to be seen by men. They make their Scripture boxes broad and lengthen the tassels on their prayer shawls.
6 They love the places of honor at feasts, and the prominent seats in the synagogues,
7 and greetings in the marketplaces, and being called ‘Rabbi’ by men.
They Don't Know God
They Don't Know God So They Call People by the Names of God
Matthew 23:8-12
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
8 “But do not be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brothers.
9 And call no man on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven {within you}.
10 Nor be called teachers, for you have one Teacher, the Christ.
11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 For he who exalts himself {before the Lord's eyes like the Pharisee} will be humbled {by God}, and he who humbles himself {before the Lord's eyes} will be exalted {by God}.
They Don't Know God So They Take People to Hell Instead of to Heaven
(To finish, start at verse 13)
God's Outro
"This is how to know which ones are real: the real ones don't party. They like to stay home with Us and do things for Me, like writings. Not parish ceremonies", said the Lord.
1 Peter 4:3-4
Modern English Version
3 For in earlier times of our lives it may have sufficed us to do what the Gentiles like to do, when we walked in immorality: lusts, drunkenness, carousing, debauchery, and abominable idolatries.
4 They are surprised that you do not join them in the same excess of wild living, and so they speak evil of you.
Party with the Lord at Home and in Church and Not with the World
Ephesians 5:18-20
Authorized (King James) Version
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Matthew 24:43-51
Authorized (King James) Version
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 and shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Luke 21:34-36
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day {of Christ's return} come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always {instead of get drunk and party}, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape {in the rapture} all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man {when He returns}.
Stay Sober and Wait for Jesus to Return
Don't Start Partying Again
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Modern English Version
{Paraphrased}
1 Concerning the times and the seasons {of Jesus' return}, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.
2 For you know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 When they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep as others do. But let us be alert and sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we should live together with Him.
11 So comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, just as you are doing.
The Biblically Faithful Sayings of Darrin Pegram
"To please God isn't accomplished by the religious-duty of the Pharisee
It's accomplished by the spiritual regeneration & new birth of the Holy Spirit"
The Holy Spirit in you is what makes you please God
God lives His life in you
(Ezekiel 36:25-27)
"To stay home and make messages with the Godhead, the angels and the saints, it's heaven!
It's not writing that makes me happy, but the anointing. The Presence of the Holy Spirit inside me talking to me with the angels and the writers of the Bible,
It's the path of life!"
There are believers and there are born-again believers. Most people believe in Jesus because they're mystical. But have you received the Holy Spirit since you first believed in Jesus? Do you have an encounter with God that you can't stop talking about?
Acts 19:1-10
Modern English Version
Ephesians Receive the Holy Spirit
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples
2 and said to them, “Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?”
They said to him, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 He said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied.
7 There were about twelve men in all.
8 He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, lecturing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he withdrew from them and took the disciples, lecturing daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 This continued for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
I want to do for you what Paul did for the Ephesians in this passage. I want to use my anointing & authority with Christ in my words to write for Him to baptize you into the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongues ...
Please read the following message in the Button below to get baptized into the Holy Spirit ...
"Receive the Holy Spirit"
World without end. Amen.
