All right, good morning everybody.
Great to be here at Faith Ward Baptist Church.
It's about to say soul winning Baptist church.
That's not where I am right now.
So adjusting to the time change of coming from the Philippines.
And so I want to just first thank Pastor Anderson for the hospitality
and the opportunity to come here and preach.
And we got to fellowship for a while last night.
And also Brother Sagar I got to spend some time with yesterday as well.
It's great to see some people that are still here 15 years later,
because it's been more than 15 years since I've been a member here.
And I did visit the church once I think 10 years ago.
When my wife and I got married we went to our honeymoon in Sedona.
So we came down here to visit.
And it's great to see some of the same faces.
And you know considering churches like this have a big turnover
because of the hard preaching.
It's great to see people that are still here more than a decade later.
But also just a lot of new faces.
You know people that I haven't met or I met briefly
or I've seen you online or whatever.
It's great to have you here.
It's just great to have this opportunity.
And you might think that I'm preaching on missions or soul winning
since I'm a missionary.
But honestly that just doesn't relate to the sermons at all today really.
And I do want to quickly try to encourage you though with your soul winning.
Because I know what it's like to be at a church
where obviously in the Philippines it is very receptive.
We actually have a few people here that were members of our church in the Philippines.
And obviously the soul winning here is not as receptive.
And sometimes you're kind of just going about your daily grind or weekly grind.
You go soul winning, you get one person saved.
And you get one the next week.
And you might look online and see like crazy numbers
and kind of lose your zeal for soul winning.
But one thing to remember is you're rewarded for the work you do.
Obviously if you're in an area and obviously Phoenix is a receptive area
but if you're in an area that is not as receptive
you're still rewarded for the work you do.
And you can't do anything if people don't get saved.
But the other thing I want you to understand
is just the impact this church is having
not just in Arizona, not just in this nation
but honestly in the entire world.
You know we have probably 20 people at our churches in the Philippines
that got saved from the preaching at this church.
You know the first day we had church service
we had regularly in the 20s, mid 20s for a normal church service
from day one and not just people that were at church
people that go soul winning.
And obviously when somebody new comes to church that's awesome
but getting them to take the next step to being a soul winner
that's kind of hard sometimes.
And from day one we had people.
The church in Poland that Pastor Anderson mentioned
there's a lot of people from that church
that got saved from the ministry here.
You know that Pastor Plevniac's wife got saved
from the preaching at this church.
You know our church in Melbourne you're actually going to meet
several of the men here in a few weeks
you know during the men's preaching training conference
they got saved from the preaching at this church.
So I want you to realize when you're going soul winning
for a local church here in Phoenix
it's like you're actually having a huge impact
not just here but impacting people worldwide.
So support your pastor, love your pastor
through the ups, through the downs.
Obviously you've been through it if you've been here for a while
support him and you're helping a great work be done.
Now we're here in Revelation chapter 2
and notice what it says here in verse number 18
and under the angel of the church in Thyatira write
these things say at the Son of God
who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire
and his feet are like fine brass.
I know thy works in charity and service
and faith in thy patience and thy works
and the last to be more than the first.
Now in Revelation chapters 2 and 3
you're going to have seven different churches listed
and of those seven churches
five of them have at least one thing negative mentioned.
And even if you are a great church
you have ups, you have downs
you have problems that you have to deal with
and of these seven churches
five of them have at least one issue
but it's important to understand
that all of these seven churches
are bona fide and real churches
that God has a stamp of approval on.
So realize if we were to bring this to the modern day
the church in Thyatira would not be
the Pentecostal church down the street.
It would not be the Mormons.
It would not be the Catholics.
You'd be looking at a fundamental Baptist
soul winning church.
You know a church like faithful word Baptist church
or a like minded church
that is what you would be looking at.
Now it's important to understand this
because when you read verse 20
it's kind of crazy.
It says not withstanding I have a few things against thee
because thou sufferest or allowest
that woman Jezebel
which calleth herself a prophetess
to teach and to seduce my servants
to commit fornication
and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Now when you're reading that
are those small sins or big sins?
They're pretty big sins.
And see a lot of people have this mindset
well you know what if you're right with God
you're never going to have any problems.
No, what churches do
many churches will cover their problems
and just not reveal them
rather than being open and try to pretend
they don't exist.
All churches are going to go through problems
if they last through the years.
This is a major problem
but I want you to understand
this woman isn't really like Joyce Meyer
because there's no way
you would let Joyce Meyer preach this church.
This isn't a Pentecostal church.
It's not like Pastor Anderson said
hey you know what it's a special service
we got Pastor Matthew Stuckey in the morning
and then we got Mrs. Chris Stan Stuckey
in the evening service.
Doesn't work that way.
You're not going to let a woman get up
and preach behind the pulpit at this church.
And so look I don't believe this woman
Jezebel is like the Sunday morning
preacher or the Sunday night preacher
but obviously she is teaching people
in a very subtle way
and just teaching these wicked and horrible things.
But this is not a Pentecostal church.
It's not the Mormons.
This is a legitimate, real, what we would say
is fundamental Baptist type church
here with the church in Thyatira.
Another thing to take note of here
is the Bible says her name is Jezebel.
Now of course you see the name Jezebel
and the first thing that comes to your mind
is Jezebel from the Old Testament.
I would say the most evil and wicked woman
in the entire Bible is Jezebel.
And so when it comes to this person named Jezebel
there's kind of two ways to look at this.
Either the parents didn't really care
that this Jezebel is this wicked person
from the Old Testament
or the Bible is just kind of using it
to describe her.
Kind of like he's a Judas
or she's a Jezebel.
Either way I want you to realize
the Bible is connecting the Old Testament Jezebel
with the New Testament Jezebel.
And I want to prove that to you further.
Notice what it says here in verse 20.
It says,
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel
which calleth herself a prophetess
to teach and to seduce my servants
to commit fornication
and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
The Bible mentions two things here.
Number one, to commit fornication.
Number two, eating things sacrificed unto idols.
Now turn your Bible to 2 Kings chapter 9.
2 Kings chapter 9.
And I think on Wednesday nights
you just went through 2 Kings chapter 9
the destruction and demise of Jezebel.
And here's what it says about Jezebel here
in 2 Kings chapter 9 verse number 22.
And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu
that he said,
Is it peace, Jehu?
And answered,
What peace so long as the hordoms of thy mother Jezebel
and her witchcrafts are so many?
Now what it said in the New Testament was
fornication and eating things sacrificed unto idols.
Here in the Old Testament,
different woman, different Jezebel
and it says,
Hordoms and Witchcrafts.
Now obviously you know there's a literal sense
of being a whore
and there's a symbolic sense
of just basically cheating on the true God
but when you're thinking of hordoms
you're thinking of sexual sin, right?
Now remember it said in the New Testament
fornication.
Fornication and hordoms line up pretty well, don't they?
The other thing mentioned is
eating things sacrificed unto idols.
So think of idolatry
and it says witchcraft.
Now at first glance you might say
well what's the connection
between idolatry and witchcraft?
And what I would say to you is
you're only saying that
because in America there's not a lot of idolatry.
Because I'm telling you there are people here
that are from the Philippines.
There are people here from India
and there is certainly sorcery
involved in idolatry but not only that
the Bible makes the connection
between witchcraft and idolatry.
The word witchcraft or witchcrafts
appears in six different verses
in our King James Bible.
Now go in your Bible to 1 Samuel 15.
1 Samuel 15.
What I'm trying to do to you right now
is just to show you there is a connection
the Bible is making
between the Old Testament Jezebel
and the New Testament Jezebel.
Of these six references
one of these references as they're
turning to 1 Samuel 15
is in Galatians as there's a comparison
between the works of the flesh
and the fruit of the Spirit.
When the Bible gives a long list
of characteristics or sins
it will usually link things together
that are similar.
And what the Bible says in verse number 20 is
idolatry, witchcraft.
Witchcraft follows directly
after idolatry.
The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 33
verse 6 it says witchcraft
the next verse says idol.
In Micah 5.12
the Bible says witchcrafts.
Micah 5.13 it says
image or
idol.
There's only six references.
Those are three right there where they're
directly connected and probably the strongest
link is here in 1 Samuel 15 verse 23
where the Bible says
for rebellion is as a sin
of witchcraft and stubbornness
is as iniquity
and idolatry.
So in the same verse you're seeing a connection
between witchcraft and idolatry.
You say pastor what is
the connection between idolatry
and sorcery?
You know in the Philippines
the largest Catholic
idolatrous festival happens
every year in January
in Metro Manila.
You will have millions of people that hit the streets
and there is this morbid
and weird looking
idol of Jesus.
Now people here from the Philippines they know exactly
what I'm saying. Maybe you've seen pictures
I've posted. It's like the most
grotesque and weird
idol you've ever seen in your life.
And there will be millions of people
that crowd the streets
and they believe that if they touch this idol
it will forgive their sins.
They believe if they touch this idol
it will heal their cancer.
They believe if they touch this idol
they're going to be prosperous.
They believe there's something supernatural
about touching this idol.
And look if you've ever seen videos of people
that go to Mecca and touch the Kaaba
they go crazy don't they?
And they will say
there's a supernatural feeling
that comes over when you touch this
that you cannot understand.
You watch documentaries where people go to
pilgrimages of
Hinduism and they will say
there is a feeling that comes over
you that you don't understand.
You say what is actually
taking place with these idols? Well what I
believe is that as they
touch these idols even though
it is a piece of stone or metal
that idol acts as a mediator
to pass devils from one
person to another.
And so basically
as you're worshiping these idols
all of a sudden all these spirits
are being attracted and then
as you touch this idol a supernatural
feeling comes over you that you
would not believe.
There is sorcery involved
with idolatry and the Bible is making
this connection.
The Bible is making a connection between
the Old Testament Jezebel
and the New Testament Jezebel.
Go to 1 Kings chapter 18.
1 Kings 18.
Look even if you're not in church
the name Jezebel has a very negative connotation
doesn't it?
I mean I kind of grew up
in a Christian home but I didn't really regularly
go to church. I didn't get saved
at a young age but I knew
the name Jezebel.
I knew the name Judas. I knew
the name Jezebel and of course
if you were to call someone a Jezebel
it was sort of like calling them
a whore or something just really awful.
It's like the worst insult
calling a woman a Jezebel.
And you know when you think of Jezebel
what immediately would pop to my head
because I grew up in a conservative home
so I'm thinking
Hillary Clinton.
Right?
I'm thinking
Michelle Obama.
I'm thinking Kamala Harris.
I mean these wicked
hardcore feminists it's like man
they're Jezebels.
But there's one major difference between
those Jezebels
and the Jezebel of the Old Testament.
And the major difference is
the Jezebel of the Old Testament was
incredibly religious.
I don't think any one of us would say
that Hillary Clinton is a very religious woman
or Kamala Harris.
But see the Jezebel of the Old Testament
was incredibly religious.
And notice what it says here in
1 Kings 18
verse 17
and it came to pass when Ahab saw
Elijah that Ahab said unto him
are thou he that troubled with Israel
and answered I have not troubled
Israel but thou and thy father's house
and that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord
and thou hast followed Balaam.
Now therefore send and gather to me
all Israel on to Mount Carmel
and the prophets of Baal 450
and the prophets of the groves 400
Notice this
which eat at Jezebel's
table.
I mean isn't it true when you read 1 Kings
Jezebel is very closely connected
to the false prophets.
Why should he want to kill Elijah?
Because he gets the false prophets put to death.
So yeah I mean Hillary Clinton is a form
of Jezebel.
But honestly the Jezebel of the Old Testament
was actually a very religious woman.
And of course the Jezebel of the New Testament
the Jezebel of the New Testament's
doing this inside of a local
New Testament church.
So here's the thing about this
when we're looking at what we would call
the spirit of Jezebel
it's more closely associated
with something that's religious than non-religious.
And the thing is
obviously people like Hillary Clinton are awful
and wicked and look 99%
if not 100% of people here
agree with what I said.
And it's not controversial at a church like this.
But see I think we can get the mindset
okay Jezebel is so awful and
wicked but this would never happen
in a church would it?
And yet the Jezebel
of the Old Testament is very religious
and the Jezebel of the New Testament
she's doing this inside of
a local church.
Go in your Bible to 1 Kings chapter 16
1 Kings 16
And the name of the sermon
is the spirit of Jezebel
the spirit of Jezebel.
Another way you could look at this is the spirit of feminism
especially as it comes
into a local church.
Just a couple weeks ago
my wife's parents
they actually live in Washington DC
and they were visiting the Philippines
and so you know they took us out
to the beach which was great
and you know I like to relax
you know when you're in the ministry
because the ministry is stressful
and tough and so I'm not just
soul winning every single day you know I have times
where I take breaks go on vacation
relax like to do things with the kids
so you know we're at the beach I just want to relax
right I just want
no stress no problems
I want to just turn off
my phone not think about anything
and
you know I got to give credit where credit's due
to where I got this sermon idea
and as I'm at the beach you know I get
informed I hear that I've been
called out in a video by
Tommy McMurtry
I wasn't watching the video
I didn't care
and it's like okay whatever
and then all of a sudden I see in the comments
that not even just Tommy called me out
but Cassandra McMurtry
challenged me
and I'm just thinking like
what in the world it's just like
don't you have enough problems
and so she's the inspiration
for the sermon
I had a different sermon planned
just a couple weeks ago
and then she called me out and it's just like
okay whatever and I got this idea
I was reading Revelation I was like
you know the spirit of Jezebel sounds like
a pretty good sermon idea
and so let me just read you a little bit
of what she said and you know what
I had never seen a single video
of hers until a few weeks ago
my life was so much better
until a couple weeks ago
I had never seen a single video
of hers I had seen comments about things
that she had said or a 30 second clip
I had never watched a video
but in preparation of the sermon
I watched you know several different videos
that she had and honestly
I got done writing the sermon
and I didn't add anything over the last week and a half
where she went crazy for those that pay attention
online I was like I'm done
I got to get ready for the trip to the US
it's like I already got my sermon content
there's enough on the Baptist bias
and other things that talk about this
but here's what she said on YouTube
this is a video where Tommy McMurtry
is interviewing Joe Jones
and apparently Joe Jones is better than us
even though in
Jude 1 he's preaching the false heresy
with lasciviousness
that the Bible is saying makes you a false prophet
but
here's what she said
Matthew Stuckey
this is my challenge to you
please post time stamps and links
to any video backing up your claim
this is your claim in your exact words
imagine being a pastor's wife
and condoning fornication
slash statutory rape
while also condemning sex between a married couple
now I made this comment
because brother Ben Nam
brother Ben the Baptist put up a video
and I made a comment on it
and you know he showed in the video exactly what I'm saying
and then I commented on it
and she says I have never done either
okay well we'll see later on in the sermon
okay
I will be waiting for you to back up
your claims with my exact quotes
from when I said those two things
edit if you do not provide
your proof of exact quotes
or take back your statement
with an apology for bold face lying
let it be noted
that you are a liar
railer and a slanderer
okay so I kind of look at it like this
it's kind of like on the playground
it's like you say something mean
it's like no that's not me I'm rubber
you know bounces off of me
because I said Tommy McMurtry is the biggest
railer but one thing I liked
about the statement notice she said at the end of that
liar, railer
and a slanderer
it sounds like she knows what railing is
it's like good job
maybe your husband
can preach on it because that's clearly
about lying, slandering
that's the context it's like well she got that right
and so she made this statement
and I was just like you know what whatever
you know I'll write a sermon about it
the spirit of Jezebel and we'll look at it later on
you have to understand if you're a pastor
and you put sermons online
a lot of people challenge you
and want to debate you and waste your time
so me not responding wouldn't
have proven anything it would just say I didn't respond
okay but
I am going to show you in the sermon because
I have a lot of quotes from her
that she said in various videos
one of the main videos I got quotes from
was a video called Am I a feminist
and this is a video that came out about
10 months ago where you know
a lot of churches have said you know she's promoting
feminist agenda
and she's trying to defend the fact
she's not a feminist
okay keep that in mind
she's defending she's not a feminist
here are her exact
words
I have a lot of quotes
in America if we had
good men that were leaders
and men were doing their role
and men were doing their part
and men were cherishing their wives
and loving their wives as Christ
did then there would be
no need
for feminism
no need
now she starts off this video
talking about how feminism started
is such a wonderful thing
and it went wrong
and I get a quick look
on AI
you know it would be a cool future sermon
the history of feminism there's supposedly
four waves of feminism
the first wave of feminism what it did
is it was like opening Pandora's box
it wasn't like it is today
but it set everything
in motion
and one of the things she mentioned is a good thing
she's like the women were tired of their husbands
getting drunk so they protested to make drinking
illegal
well show me we're drinking as illegal in the Bible
it's a sin
I'm against all drinking
but
are you just going to make every sin illegal
I mean if God doesn't make it illegal
it shouldn't be illegal
and that was used to help the women
get political power and get their voice out
and then of course it's gotten worse
and worse and worse but in our own words
if men were doing their part
and men were cherishing their lives
and men did this
then there would be no need for feminism
she says later
on in the video
I think there is no need for feminism
in a world where men do their part
it's like half of that's a wonderful statement
I think there's no need for feminism
stop
period
end of story don't keep going
but in a world where
men do their part
now here's the thing feminism exists
because men didn't put a stop to it
but don't tell me it's a good thing
or there's a need for it
later on in the video
she talks about the wife
following the husband
and submitting to the husband
and him being the leader
and she says I don't mind
being completely dependent on my man
and 20 seconds later
in the same context
he pretty much gives me
whatever I want
this is in a video
where she's defending, she's not a feminist
you know what she's saying there
when you put those quotes together
her interpretation of Ephesians chapter 5
men laying down their lives
and loving their wives
do everything your wives want
that's what she's saying
I mean is that your interpretation of Ephesians 5?
husbands love your wives
as Christ loved the church
therefore do everything they want
give them everything they want
never say no
never say no to your kids
never say no to your wife
just give them everything they want
no matter what
sadly because a lot of men are doing that
that's why churches like this have less people
why? it's not that the men have a problem
with this church
it's the wives
I'm amazed
as I saw these videos
all of these people
that are ex-new IFB
and people I know where it's like the wives
are just throwing out all these statements
husbands saying nothing
here's the thing
every single one of those men is embarrassed
by their wives
and they don't want to tell their wives this
but inside their head they're thinking
can you shut up
it's like why are you embarrassing me
that's what they're thinking
man I'm trying to help these men out
play this sermon
and then maybe they'll get the preaching
and figure it out
because every single one of those men
is going to be embarrassed by his wife
acting brawling and loud
and acting like a man
and they're not going to say it
you say why aren't they going to say it then
if it's true
because of the fact the bible says
the married caret for the things
of the world
how we may please his wife
and that's not necessarily a bad thing
because if you're married you should want to make your spouse happy
absolutely
we do need to be better husbands
we do need to spend time with our wives
we do need to be loving
but it's like all the emphasis
it's men
and it's like the problem people have
is this idea of submitting
to your husband
and then of course there's the pretty interpretation
where it's like well you know what
in those verses it's like you both submit
to each other
submitting one to another in the fear of God
it's like when the bible just
contradicts itself in the next verse
where it says wives submit to husbands
and so no the bible
clearly teaches that wives are
to be in submission you say well pastor
I'm submitting to my husband right now
because I'm at church
well do you want to be at church today
yes I do well that's not submitting
you already want to do it
what submission is
is when there's something you don't want to do
and you willingly submit
or put yourself underneath
like a submarine in the water
underneath the wishes
of your husband
even if you disagree why
because thus saith the Lord
that's what the bible says
you say but she said she's not a feminist
yeah you know what
I hear a lot of Pentecostals say
they don't believe in a work salvation
right
Mormons all the time
say we're saved by grace
and then they redefine it
in 2nd Nephi 25
just because somebody says something
doesn't mean it's actually true
so it's like you're saying all these
feminist things and then you're like
you know I'm not a feminist I believe
that women should follow their husbands
but then you're saying all these other things
that are against
what the bible is saying
right so you'd be the judge today
I'm going to preach this sermon we have a lot of quotes
we're going to see what the bible says about this Old Testament woman Jezbo
you can decide for yourself
whether or not she's a feminist
in my opinion yeah it's pretty obvious
she considers herself a prophetess
she's so important wants to teach everybody
it's like okay
what the bible says just sit down
shut up be meek and quiet
point number one
we're in 1st King 16 is this
one of the problems with the Old Testament Jezebel
is she causes her husband to sin
she causes her husband not to
serve God notice what it says here in 1st King 16
in verse 29
in the 30th and 8th year of Asa
King of Judah began Ahab the son of Amri
to reign over Israel
and Ahab the son of Amri reigned over Israel
in Samaria 22 years
and Ahab the son of Amri did evil
on the side of the Lord above all that were before him
and it came to pass as if it had been
a light thing for him to walk in the sins
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat
that he took to wife Jezebel
the daughter of Rathbaal King of the Zidonians
and went and served Baal and worshipped him
so notice
Ahab's not a good guy
right he's already going down a road of sin
he's already doing wrong
but above that he married Jezebel
and then he's
worshipping all of these
you know false gods
right you're seeing the impact
Jezebel has on him to do wrong
and then the Bible says
in verse 32 and he reared up an altar for Baal
in the house of Baal which he had built in Samaria
and Ahab made a grove and Ahab did more
to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger
than all the kings of Israel
that were before him
got a 1st Kings 21
1st Kings 21
look the reason why I'm showing you the Old Testament
Jezebel is honestly
there's not a lot of verses
on the New Testament Jezebel
obviously it tells us a little bit of information
but the Old Testament Jezebel
has a lot of information
we can see the things that she didn't
you know obviously
you know when it comes to Jezebel the Old Testament
this is the king's wife
that's why we get the Hillary Clinton examples
right the president's wife
but
in a local church
how can this spirit of Jezebel manifest
no she doesn't have the same power
as Hillary Clinton or the Jezebel the Old Testament
but inside of a local church
a woman like this can do a lot of damage
and honestly in today's world
with social media
you can do a lot of damage even outside your local church
so you don't have to go from door to door
to gossip I mean you can just pull out
your phone and gossip to like thousands of people
just instantly
right I mean have you ever seen somebody on Facebook
will post like they're having fights
or something with their spouse
and then they call out their spouse publicly
online and everybody's thinking
dude just take that down man
why are you posting that publicly
everybody is going to see it
and you can't walk it back at that point
what are you doing
but yet in today's world with social media
you can do a lot of great things with it
I mean sermons go out
to a lot of people
but you can also do a lot of damage
in a short amount of time as well
here's what it says in 1 Kings 21 verse 25
but there is none like
on Ahab which did sell himself
to work wickedness in the side of the Lord
whom Jezebel
his wife stirred
up
it's not that Ahab was a good guy
it's not that he was going to be a good guy
but look
if you marry somebody really wicked
they're going to cause you to do worse
and Jezebel
was an evil and a wicked woman
and she stirred Ahab
to actually do worse
than he would have done
go in your Bible to 1 Peter 3
1 Peter 3
but you can look at a great character
like Solomon
I mean the Bible says that Solomon
married a lot of wives which is wrong
but the Bible makes it clear
that the wives turned away his heart
because he's marrying ungodly women
now the thing is
if you marry somebody godly
they can motivate you to do more for God
they can motivate you to love God more
I'm sure this room
is filled full of people that say
hey man my spouse is such a blessing
and when I don't feel like going soul winning
they encourage me to go soul winning
when I don't feel like reading the Bible
or when I'm getting a little bit weak
I'm getting a little bit lazy
they encourage me to do more
because let's face it the Christian life is hard
it's hard to last
year after year after year
after year
and look you've seen it yourself
if you've been at this church
a lot of great people end up falling by the wayside
a lot of great church members
a lot of great pastors
they go down the wrong road
I mean it's a shame but the Christian life is hard
it's hard to last
it's hard to serve God
but how much harder if your spouse is just really wicked
and fighting you all the time
1 Peter 3 verse 5
for after this manner in the old time
the holy women also who trusted in God
adorned themselves
being in subjection onto their own husbands
even as Sarah obeyed Abraham
calling him Lord
whose daughters he are as long as he do well
and are not afraid with any amazement
likewise he husbands
dwell with them according to knowledge
giving honor onto the wife as onto the weaker vessel
and notice this as being
heirs together
of the grace of life
I believe that if God has blessed you
with a spouse
God intends that you can accomplish more
with them than you could without them
now the thing is
that might look a little bit different on the surface
I mean quite honestly I went soul winning
more I would say before I was married
than I do now
I have four kids I mean life is busy
and you know
preaching a lot of sermons and things like that
you know but I still believe
I'm accomplishing more now
than I was before I was married
and I know that
my wife helps me do more for God
and motivates me
and my wife loves soul winning and the thing is
with my wife loving soul winning
on days I don't feel like going you just go
because that's what you do
if you marry someone who loves God
they can motivate you to do more
and you can be heirs together of the grace of life
but
if your spouse is ungodly
and wicked
it's like you're the husband
and you're trying to set lines in your family
like hey you know what I want to start going soul winning
you know midweek I want to do an extra time
of soul winning and then your wife is
just fighting you saying wow we need to spend
more time with the family you shouldn't do this
blah blah blah it's like that is not going to
cause you to do more for God
you try to set lines in your family
hey here's my line of worldliness
because obviously with worldliness it's a very
gray area people draw the lines
at different points but you're the husband
you make the decision you say hey
we're not watching this we're not doing this
it's wrong
and then your wife is always trying to fight against it
you set guidelines in your families
of things you're doing and your wife is just
intentionally disobeying it
what's pretty hard to do great things
for God if your wife is fighting you
every single step of the way
go to your Bible in Genesis chapter 2
Genesis 2
and one thing I find amazing about this
because you know the Bible says that
women are to have a meek and a quiet spirit
and
you know there's kind of a phrase I thought of
because I think of some of the ladies
at our church in the Philippines
and other soul winners I know
like ladies that love soul winning
and it's like what you see is women
that are meek and quiet
but they're soul winning assassins
and what I mean by that is
they will stop
anybody to give the gospel
somebody's got a knife and they're just trying to
give them an invitation and talk to them
and it's like they're so filled with boldness
and it's funny because
you might know these ladies
and it's like they're very meek
and quiet and shy
and when they get filled with the spirit it's like
man they're a soul winning
assassin
look ladies you have your opportunity to preach
go out and preach the gospel
it's not just for men and quite honestly
there's a lot of people ladies can reach
that men can't
I'm amazed how many times
I try to talk to someone
they're not interested a couple of minutes later
my wife's giving them the gospel and gets them saved
and it wasn't
it's not just like that in the Philippines
because I'll preach the gospel in Tagalog
and they're just shy to talk to an American
and they'll talk to my wife
but even in the US I would see that
you say why because
some people might not be comfortable talking to a man
they might feel more comfortable
talking to a lady
and so look if we're meant to reach everybody
in the world and there's a certain segment
that is only going to listen to a woman
you know what that means we need the ladies
we need the spirit of God upon also the
handmaidens to go out and preach the gospel
or like Phillip's daughters
which were prophesying
not prophesying behind the pulpit
but out there preaching the gospel
and getting people saved
Genesis chapter 2 verse 18
and the Lord God said
it is not good that the man should be alone
I will make him help
meet for him
I mean the Bible is just super clear
and it reiterates this in the New Testament
that the woman is created
for the man
she's meant to be the help meet for the man
and that means the guy
is the leader
and the wife is meant to compliment him
be the help meet
but does that mean it automatically
happens even with Christians
does the wife automatically
help the husband
look obviously we realize that we're all
sinners so no matter how godly of a lady
you are you're not always
going to be a blessing 24-7
just like as guys
we're not perfect husbands 24-7
just like every marriage
has fights
every marriage has problems
I remember when we went
to Verity Baptist a long time ago
before we were in the Philippines
and somebody came up to me
and they were kind of getting marriage advice
and they were talking to me
and they said
I bet you and your wife never fight
and they were being honest
and the people I'm thinking of
they're great
some of the people that left Verity
but he sincerely thought that
and I'm just thinking
my wife and I fight
like everybody fights
cause you got two sinners
that are around each other 24-7
what do you expect to happen
I mean you're going to have times
you got to fight through stuff
but you are meant to be heirs together
of the grace of life
and do more for God together than you would separately
but notice the next chapter
Genesis chapter 3
the woman is made to help meet for the man
but notice Genesis 3 verse 6
and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food
that it was pleasant to the eyes
and a tree to be desired to make one wise
she took of the fruit thereof
and did eat
and gave also under a husband with her
and he did eat
I mean is she really helping the guy out
she helping the husband out in that situation
it's like the previous chapter
the woman is to help meet
and then the next chapter
she's giving him the apple to sin
I guess the defense for her
at least she was deceived
he's just like well you know
just my wife said it
this is the first wave of feminism
you know this is the good part right
so I'll just eat the fruit
it's like once again
sometimes you got to tell your spouse no
as the leader
they go to your Bible to 1 Kings 18
1 Kings 18
look I don't think it's a big secret
that Tommy McMurtry
is filled full of gossip
and being a busy body
and it's like why don't you just care
about your own church
and your own ministry
his ministry
is attacking this church
and attacking new IFB churches
that's what it's all about I mean that's his ministry
and you know
here's the thing about it it doesn't matter
what you're doing
you can get vain followers
to come after you
see this church
is filled full of people that love soul winning
you know no matter what you say
you can get vain followers to come after you
no matter what you're saying
it amazes me it's like some churches in the Philippines
like some Baptist churches
that are false prophets
or bad people or whatever
it's like I listen to them preach
and they're like the worst preachers ever
and they've got a lot of people
to listen to them
and I'm like you know what in the world
like why would you follow but it's just like
you know no matter what you say
you can get vain followers to come after you
so I'm not saying
that he doesn't have a problem with gossip
I'm saying being married to Cassandra
makes it times 10
makes it a lot worse
she eggs him on as you would say
to make it worse and worse
and worse
but number one
this Jezebel spirit causing your husband
not to serve God that's one of the things we see
from Jezebel in the Old Testament
number two fighting against God's people
fighting against God's people
1 Kings 18 verse 12
actually 1 Kings 18 verse 3
verse 3
and Ahab called Obadiah which was the governor of his house
now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly
for it was so when Jezebel cut
off the prophets of the Lord
she killed the prophets of the Lord
that Obadiah took in 100 prophets
and hid them by 15 a cave
and fed them with bread
and water
Jezebel here
is fighting against God's people
she's killing the prophets of God
she's trying to destroy God's people
go to Nehemiah chapter 6
Nehemiah chapter 6
it wasn't good enough for Jezebel to just have her own religion
she's attacking God's people
she's attacking God's prophets
here's what it says in Nehemiah 6 verse 14
Nehemiah chapter 6 verse 14
my God
think thou upon Tobiah and Sandballad
according to these their works
and on the prophetess
Nehemiah and the rest of the prophets
that would have put me
in fear
trying to stop the work
of God being done this woman
Nehemiah
now go in your Bible to Esther chapter 1
Esther 1
Esther chapter 1
and look here's what I want you to understand
when you're married
you're meant to be heirs together
of the grace of life
and what that means is the husband and the wife
have to be on the same page
and part of that is the husband
being the leader
the other part is the wife
submitting to the husband
and when people are trying to influence women
not to submit to their husbands
you know what you're doing
you're trying to fight against God's people
doing something great
right
because regardless of what you think
it's not your marriage
the husband makes the rules in that home
so why are you trying to influence
the women in other homes
not even at your church
to rebel against their husbands
here's what she said in one of her videos
the only reason
they are so mad is because
I have an influence on the women in their church
here's my question
why do you want to have an influence
on the women in other people's churches
it has nothing to do with you
it's not your church
it's not your marriage
you don't make the rules for it
so why are you trying to influence
other women in other churches
and how is she influencing
is she influencing to love your husbands
no matter what
no she's influencing will separate
if they're too harsh
and too mean
look I would say that if a husband
is drunkard
and is a derelict
and committing adultery
he's kind of at his most unlovable stage
you know what she should be encouraging
wives to do in those situations
love your husbands
I mean if you want to have a teaching ministry
why wouldn't you
but no you say well separating those situations
cause it's dangerous
it's like what are you doing
you're influencing women to rebel
against their husbands
I mean look
forgive me for this example
I grew up in West Virginia
but I think of the old country song
stand by your man
look I'm not saying
it's okay for husbands to be losers
and be drunkards and do these things
but it's like
that was the old opinion
it's like hey you stand by your man
no matter what cause there is no option
of divorce in the bible
you stay married
and you don't open up his doors box
well in this situation
say no no no I didn't tell him to get divorced
I was just stating to separate
separating
is one step to divorce
honestly it's more like
five or six cause honestly once you separate
the divorce is common
so the question is why do you want to influence
people in other churches
to leave their husbands
and rebel against their husbands
Esther chapter 1 verse 15
what shall we do under the queen Vastai according to law
because she hath not performed the commandment
of the king of Hazelweres by the chamberlains
in Mamooka in answer before the king and the princes
Vastai the queen hath not done wrong
to the king only but also to all the princes
and all the people that are in all the provinces
of the king of Hazelweres
for this deed of the queen shall come abroad
unto all women so that they shall despise their husbands
and their eyes when it shall be reported
the king of Hazelweres commanded Vastai
the queen to be brought in before him
but she came not
likewise shall the ladies of Persia and media
say this day unto all the king's princes
which have heard of the deed of the queen
thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath
you know this is exactly what takes place
you'll see people where
a wife will rebel
a woman will be a loudmouth
and rebel and all of a sudden
it just kind of leads to just a bunch of women
doing the same thing
and you know
that's what I said you know you see people in these videos
and it's like people I know it's like I know they're husbands
and they're not saying anything
and it's just like you know
yes we can I'm a woman hear me roar
and then all these women it's like man you used to be
a soul winner what happened to you
because they're buying into the lie
we're being held back
by these oppressive men
look you don't have to get very far
into the Bible to see that
the wife is the compliment to the husband
I mean the first chapter
man is made in the image of God
and chapter 2
the wife is the help meet
I didn't write the Bible
I didn't make the rules
and the shame and the thing that's sad is
wives will be happier
when they follow their husbands
you buy into this lie of feminism
well you know what I'm being held back
I could be a CEO
I could be a president
okay go down that road
you're going to be miserable
that's reality
go in your Bible to Titus chapter 2
Titus 2
I find it sad when
I will see ladies
that bought into this lie
and they don't audibly say this
but you can tell it and then
they reach a certain age and obviously you know
when it comes to getting married you know marriage is a blessing
when you meet the right person and there's no guarantee
there's a lot of great people that are zealous
that love God and they don't get married
both men and women
we've got a lot of godly ladies that are church in the Philippines
that haven't met the right person yet
but you'll see people that bought
into this lie of feminism and they wanted to work
their way up the corporate ladder
to show how strong they are
how smart they are or whatever
and then all of a sudden those women will see
families with children
and you can just see in their eyes
that they're not happy
they thought they would be
and they're not
and here's the thing you know when it comes to
our type of churches
there's a lot of very intelligent and educated people
that like this type of preaching
and honestly there's a lot of
very intelligent and educated women
that like this type of preaching
and so part of you might say well wait a minute
it's like man I could have been so successful
I was in the working world and being so successful
and then you think back
and think oh it's going to make you so much happier
no you're just buying into the lie of feminism
and this spirit of Jezebel
that the Bible is speaking about
Titus chapter 2
Bible says here in verse 1
but speaks out of the things which become sound doctrine
that the aged men be sober, grave
temperate, sound in faith
and charity and patience
the aged women likewise
that they be in behavior has become with holiness
not false accusers, not giving them much wine
teachers of good things
that they may teach the young women to be sober
to love their husbands, to love their children
to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home
good, obedient to their own husbands
that the word of God be not blasphemed
the Bible says here in Titus 2
the aged women teach the young women
to love their husbands
to love their children
basically to be a housewife
to take care of the kids, to love them
I believe the primary thing the Bible is saying is
by your actions
because here's the thing about this
if you're trying to convince a woman
to be meek and quiet
and you're doing the opposite
by challenging pastors
it's like how are you convincing people
to be meek and quiet
I mean it's not that complicated
folks
but the thing is
if you're going to teach anything
then you would teach wives
to love their husbands
to love their children
not to leave their husbands
but to love them
and so how can you say
well you know
man I'm really helping ladies love their husbands
you're telling them to leave
like what in the world
and here's what I'm saying
that if you are going to be successful
I mean if you're married you know this is true
when you're married
if you're having problems with your spouse
it is hard to read the Bible
it is hard to go soul winning
it is hard to serve God zealously
it's difficult
but yet when you're on the same page together
I mean isn't it a beautiful thing
it's a wonderful thing
and you're doing great things for God
but when you're not on the same page
it's a disaster
that's the way that it is
and so look if you're trying to get people
to go against their husbands
you're causing a disaster for them
how are they going to serve God zealously
when they're just fighting with their spouse all the time
go in your Bible to 1 Timothy chapter 5
1 Timothy chapter 5
look sometimes people get the wrong idea
about pastors because you know
we get up behind the pulpit
and we preach the entire word of God
we preach what the Bible says
and we show the word of God
and people might get this idea
that in our personal lives
we go around and tell people what to do
I don't do that
with people at our churches
I don't tell them what to do in their personal life
I mean we've got members
people here they used to be members of our church
I didn't go around bossing people
telling them what to do
I mean look I will see men at our church
make decisions in their home that I don't agree with
I never say anything
you say why it's not my home
and if he's the leader of that home
even if I am right about something
he makes the rules I don't make the rules
that's the way it works
is why when people ask
what do you think about this situation
what do you think about this I'm thinking
I'm not the authority in that home
so what difference does it make
it's like mind your own business in your own home
rather than worrying about other people
but I will always side with
authority
because God gave the authority
to husbands
God gave the authority to fathers
God gave the authority to mothers over their kids
when my wife says something to my kids
it's like I will back up my kids
I mean my wife
I should say
my bad
this is going to be one of those snippets
that gets in the preaching
what's really bad though
is when you preach sermons and you don't notice
your gaffe
and then all of a sudden
I've had sermons I'm preaching against
repentance of sins for salvation
and then I say the opposite for 5 seconds in the sermon
and it's like oh what did I do
I preached a sermon last year
and I think people either I misspoke
or they got confused and people thought
I used to take antidepressants
I was like I've never been
a depressed person
I've never taken antidepressants
before but I misspoke
or people misunderstood
and it's like sometimes that happens
but it's like no my wife will
spank our kids when they do wrong or whatever
I support my wife in her decision
in doing that
because wives do have the authority over their kids
and sometimes
the kids will try to pit the parents against each other
and you've got to realize
as husband and wife you've got to be together
notice what it says here in 1 Timothy chapter 5
actually here's another quote from Cassandra
if you are the leader
then you don't have to beat your chest
about it
if you do beat your chest then you probably aren't the leader
this is not unique to her
because there's a lot of people that have said something
pretty similar
but the thing is if you're the leader
are your followers always
100% doing
what you want perfectly
so when they're not
doing what's correct
what do you do
just ignore it
and not say anything
I mean it sounds like what Tommy does
because he pretty much gives his wife whatever she wants
according to her
he can set the record straight if that's not true
so what do I do
if my kids are not doing what I say
I punish them
I rebuke them, I either spank them
or rebuke them, give them a warning or whatever
you correct it
and even if you're doing a good job leading
you do have to do that sometimes
but you know what I find
people that say like they never fight
with their spouse usually
what that means is the husband
does everything the wife wants
because he doesn't want to fight
he's not willing to fight and he's thinking
if I just give her what she wants
I don't really want this
but you know it will get rid of this problem
and you know what happens it just gets worse
and worse
first time in chapter 5 verse 13
and with all they learn to be idle
wandering about from house to house
and not only idle but tattlers also in busy bodies
speaking things which they ought not
I will therefore the younger women
marry, bear children
guide the house, give none occasion in the
adversary to speak reproachfully
for some are already turned aside after Satan
I mean folks the Bible is not confusing here
it says the roles
of men and women
men are the leaders, men are the providers
and then the women
are to guide the house
marry, bear children
guide the house
and what I just said is like the most sexist thing
you're ever going to hear in 2026
the role of women is to have
kids, well
correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't just basic
biology kind of show you that
the women are made to have kids
not the men
go in your Bible to 1 Kings 19
1 Kings 19
and look in the context where she's
advising women to separate
in situations
here's what Cassandra says
I'm all for reconciliation
but there has to be repentance
you know what she's saying
let's I mean look
this is already a long sermon
forgive me I do back to back sermons
in the Philippines I got to squeeze them in
so the sermons are a little bit shorter
it's going to be a pastor
Shelley linked sermon here today
alright
but I mean
but think of judges 19
right where she leaves the husband
and it's just like well he should have
just come back on his knees
begging forgive me for everything I did wrong
I mean is that the way you interpret
judges 19
because that's pretty much what she's saying
she's saying husbands and wives
getting to fight and the wife leaves
it's like hey you know what I want them to reconcile
if there's repentance
if he says I'm sorry honey
I'll do whatever you want
now she'd say I'm railing
but that is exactly what she's saying
that it's always the husband's fault
husbands and wives getting to fight
they go several it's always the husband's fault
and then the husband
has to have repentance
and say I messed up
I'm sorry forgive me
look I'm not advocating husbands
being losers and derelicts
we preach hard against sin
let me tell you something there is no
valid separation in the Bible
that is just a step to getting divorced
so why would you advise
that
and see you can walk it back and say well wait a minute
I never told anybody
to get divorced
I said I'm against divorce yet
when you led them down the
road by getting them to separate
that is exactly what she did
look
when you're in moments of things
being difficult in marriage
you need to stick strong together
and work through it
look marriage is a beautiful
and a wonderful thing
and I am much happier being married
and God has blessed me
with our family and my wife
but that does not mean that our marriage
is always perfect
and I don't want to mislead people
that are single in this room that you get married
and all your problems because people think
I get married I will always be happy
and never have any problems
well I mean if that's
what you think I mean it's like
good luck when you actually get married
you need to go into it with the right
mindset and realize hey you know what
it's a beautiful thing it's a wonderful thing
but you got to work at it
and it will get better over time
but you will have difficult times
and in those difficult times
you don't separate
look there are people
that come up to me from church
and they're having problems
they're going through a tough time
and they're just wondering you know maybe
you know for a couple months I need to focus on work
you know she can live with her parents
for a few months
and it's just like and it's in the context
of they're going through problems and I'm just like
I don't think that's a good idea
it's like you can do whatever you want
but I don't think that's a good idea
because you know
so
it's not going to remove the problem
you know
it's going to be there when you get back
it's like I think you got to work through it
and I'm never going to advise people
to separate now here's the thing I mean
I can't force people to make their decisions
they do what they want
but I will not advise people to separate from their spouse
it's one step leading to divorce
I'm all for reconciliation
but there has to be repentance
I'm all for reconciliation
husbands and wives are having problems
I'm all for them getting back together
I'm all for reconciliation
but according to her now the husbands
got asked for forgiveness
and say I'm sorry in the fight
but number one
the Jezebel from the Old Testament
she caused her husband not to serve God
she causes him to sin
number two she fights against God's people
number three
she fights against spiritual leadership
first Kings chapter 19 verse 1
and Ahab told Jezebel
all that Elijah had done
and with Ohio he had slain all the prophets
with the sword
then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah saying
so let the gods do to me and more also
if I make not thy life is the life of one of them
by tomorrow about this time
when he saw that he arose and went for his life
and came to be her sheba which belonged to Judah
and left his servant there
so you know Elijah
great man of God
first Kings 18
one of the best chapters in the Bible
and he looks like nothing's going to get him down
but he's human
he gets afraid
Jezebel threatens his life
and he kind of just backslides a little bit
kind of runs for his life and out of it
and he wishes for himself to die
the Bible says
number 12
because once again
Jezebel was a religious woman
she loved the false prophets
they ate at her table
she was close to them
she's very angry at the end of first Kings 18
when they lose and they're killed
she's mad about it
but once you realize
this doesn't just only exist
with ungodly people
like the Jezebel the Old Testament
even saved Christian women can be like this
because notice what it says in Numbers 12 where we have Miriam
now I would say that Miriam in the Bible
is an awesome character
she's a great woman
a great character but notice what it says here in Numbers 12
verse 1
and Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses
because the Ethiopian woman whom he had married
for he had married an Ethiopian woman
and they said
hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses
hath he not spoken also by us
and the Lord heard it
now the man Moses was very meek
above all the men which are upon the face of the earth
look you know when you go forward on the story
God completely supports Moses
Moses is meek
he's a humble guy
he doesn't want to get into fight with them
and he lets God fight his battles
and then God comes through for him
right but in the story
Miriam is like well didn't God also speak by us
and the Bible says
Miriam is a prophetess
I believe that she preached the gospel
told people how to get to heaven
but does that mean she should be getting up and preaching sermons though
it's like didn't God speak by me
and it's like no
in fact it's kind of interesting with Aaron
because like Aaron you had your chance
you had your chance to be the leader
you failed
you messed up
it's like you know there you are
and then it's like there's a golden calf
it's like you did not deal with the problem
now here's the thing about this
I mean if Aaron had beat his chest
and dealt with it and destroyed the calf
said no
well there you go that's being a good leader
even though the earlier quote said
if you got to beat your chest you're being a bad leader
well I think in
Exodus 32 it would have made sense for Aaron
to just give his authority
and say no
but here you have Miriam
who is a godly person
and yet this spirit of Jezebel
passes upon her
look I'm not saying these people are getting possessed
with an evil spirit but I'm just saying in a symbolic sense
it's like
I'm also someone that God can speak through
I've also done great things
and she wants to have her voice too
well I'm sorry
but God did not give that authority to women
God shows Moses
and look the Bible says it's not just
with preaching sermons the Bible says it is a curse
when women roll over you
it is a curse
when women are the leaders
of the country and running for president
look I don't know who told you that
the Philippines is an ultra-conservative
old-fashioned country
we've had multiple female presidents
the current vice presidents
a woman it's like that's not really
the Philippines
it's like no there's a real problem
with feminism in the Philippines too
in fact I think a lot of people would say that
in most homes in the Philippines
it's the wife that's wearing the pants
it's not the husband
now the thing is we expect this from the world
but you know what happens in Baptist churches
every Baptist church
will say
we believe husbands
are the head of the home
because the Bible is really clear on it
it's kind of like a running joke though
because it's not really true
it's like they say that
but then it's not really true
in practice
it's like well then how are you saying
that husbands are the leader
when you're not actually practicing
what you're claiming
go in your Bible
to 1 Kings 21
look
it's bad enough
to try to get in marriages
and get women
to separate from their husbands
but
when you're trying to call out
pastors of churches that are doing great
works for God
it's like why don't you just keep your mouth shut
it's just like don't you have enough enemies
it's just like
I'm not exactly the most confrontational person
although I guess I'm kind of heading that direction
but it's just like
why are you calling out like pastors
you know I thought
that being a pastor is for men
could we all agree on that
well I'm sorry but if you're not a man
you don't get to have an opinion
I mean isn't that her logic
it's like
men can't have an opinion on
women's issues well why do you have an opinion
on what it means to be a pastor
because you're not a man
you don't know what it's like
to be a pastor
now I can't say she doesn't know
what it's like to be a leader because she's leading her home
what can I say
but
why are you calling out other pastors
like why don't you worry about your own life
it's like you're going outside the realm of just trying to teach women
now you're trying to just rebuke pastors
right
first king 21
number one
the Jezebel the Old Testament she causes her husband
not to serve God she causes her husband to sin
number two she fights against God's people
number three she fights against spiritual leadership
number four
she promotes sin
now notice what it says here in 1 Kings 21 verse 4
and Ahab came into his house
heavy in displease because of the word
which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him
he had said
I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers
and he laid him down upon his bed and turned away his face
and would eat no bread
but Jezebel's wife came to him and said unto him
why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread
he said unto her
because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite
and said unto him give me thy vineyard for money
or else if it pleased thee
I will give thee another vineyard for it and he answered
I will not give thee my vineyard
now doesn't this just sound like a little kid
that just didn't get the toy
he wanted
it's like I wanted the green toy not the blue toy
I mean this is what happens
when you have everything that you want in life
it's always given to you he's complaining
I didn't get this vineyard
and Jezebel's wife said unto him
does thou now govern the kingdom of Israel
it's like well not really
I mean you kind of do honey right
does thou now govern the kingdom of Israel
arise and eat bread
and let thine heart be merry
I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite
now look she doesn't say
what she's going to do
but obviously Ahab realizes
okay something wicked is going to be done
he's aware of that
burst in
and set two men sons of Belia
which is a term for children of the devil
reprobates before him to bear witness against them
saying thou didst blaspheme God
and the king and then carry him out
and stone him that he may die
and the men of the city even the elders
and the nobles who were the inhabitants in the city
did as Jezebel had sent onto them
and as it was written in the letters which she had sent onto them
they proclaimed to fast
and set Naboth on high among the people
and there came in two men children of Belia
and sat before him and the men of Belia
witnessed against him even against Naboth
and the presence of the people saying
Naboth did blaspheme God and the king
then they carried him forth out of the city
and stoneed him with stones that he died
now look the average person
is not going to give a false witness
to get somebody put to death
but it's not true
it'd be a pretty extreme thing
for an average person to do
but of course if you're a child of the devil
you don't have a conscience
you don't feel bad about it
and so she gets two reprobates to do this
and so there's not just
her that's responsible
he's responsible because he knew something wicked is going to happen
what you're seeing is this woman Jezebel
what is she doing she's promoting sin
she's doing wicked things herself
she's not even just causing her husband to do wrong
she's doing wrong
she's doing wicked
okay now go on your bow to 1 Corinthians 7
1 Corinthians 7
now in the context
of her talking about separating from your husband
it's like how can we call this
godly advice when you're making videos
talking on and on about separating
from your husband
here's what she says
there is no shame
in seeking help
Mary and Joseph and other examples
because you think your life is in danger
I mean just think of the stories that they're giving
actual examples
where people are being killed versus you're married
you get into a fight
and it's like well you're afraid for your life so just leave
there's no shame in that
it's not wrong don't feel bad about it
forget about the preaching forget about what it says in the Bible
about staying married
just you know don't feel bad
your life's threatened just leave
I mean is this not the same feminist garbage you hear
from any ungodly and wicked person
just justifying leaving
your spouse
she says
no shame in getting help from cops
the Bible talks
about protecting yourself
well certainly not why is getting help from cops
pretty stupid but it's like
no why are you bringing them into that situation
it's like you work it out yourself
she says
it's so hard
for women in abusive relationships
to see there is a way out
and you know
there's kind of statements in between
she says you can find a good pastor
maybe the man wants to stop but that is the pattern
that he has grown up seeing you know what she's trying to do
with that statement you can tell in context
she's subtly trying to get people
leave new IFB churches
that's what she's saying
she's saying just leave churches like faithful word
leave churches where there are two
over the top with men being
in the authority just leave those places
right
and then in the context here
it says
another quote
you should obey the law of the land
because the land determines it
to be rape okay this in the context
talk about marital rape
and look you know she's condemning
husbands and wives being physically together
which goes back to the original thing
but I want you to just think about this logically
for a second because the Bible is very clear
notice what it says 1 Corinthians 7 verse 3
let the husband
render unto the wife due benevolence
and likewise also the wife unto the husband
the wife hath not power of her own body
but the husband and likewise also the husband
hath not power of his own body but the wife
defraud you not one the other
except if you have consent for a time
that you may give yourselves a fasting and prayer
and come together again that Satan tempts you not
for your incontinence so what the Bible is saying here in context
is that husbands and wives should have a normal
relationship and that does include
the physical part of marriage
say the catholic church says
well you know Mary was perpetually a virgin
man talk about a miserable marriage
that Joseph married into
I literally
heard this in the Philippines it's like
because they're more serious about their idolatry
over there and you know
it's like if you're having problems
with intimacy in your marriage
then you should pray to the saint Joseph
because he knows what you're going through
and it's like
bizarre I mean the Bible is super clear
obviously they had a normal relationship
okay
but here's the thing about this the Bible says
men and women should render dubent evidence
look I actually know of situations where it's actually the opposite
where the men refuse
and the wife wants to have a normal relationship
she loves God wants to have a normal relationship
and then the husband is the one that's refusing
that's wicked it's wrong
and it's wicked the other way as well
if the wife is refusing
now look obviously there's
a little bit of common sense here
obviously if one of the spouses
is really sick
and really feeling bad
it's like obviously you're going to comfort them
and try to take care of them
okay but when
a wife is just refusing week after week
after week after week
who is the person the Bible is saying
is in sin
who's clearly
directly not gray
area in sin
that would be the wife
because the Bible says she is
to render dubent evidence
and yet in that video
she gives a passing comment
I think
I think she said like
six months or something like that I could be wrong
but she just kind of says it in passing
if the wife is refusing for a long time
yeah I don't think that's right I don't think she should do that
but it's just like you spent like
a long time condemning like marital rape
well here's the thing about this
would a guy do that
if the wife is just giving a normal relationship
just think about this logically
the wife sins
by refusing the relationship
with her husband
she's the one at fault
if she gave him
a normal relationship
then there wouldn't be an issue at all
but you know it is an issue
because in marriages
people try to weaponize the physical relationship
against their spouse
and so look when you're siding
with the side that is sinful
and wrong on many things
on separation
on women refusing to be intimate
with their husband
it's just like you are promoting sin
you are promoting sin
and you're justifying wicked people
you're justifying wicked people
that are in rebellion and sin
in fornication right now
yes you are promoting sin
and accepting people committing sin
outside of marriage
and giving a pass on that
and saying nothing negative
and being friends with all of them online
and yet you're condemning people
that are just in a normal relationship
that's exactly what you're doing
now turn your Bible to 2 Kings chapter 9
2 Kings chapter 9
and here's the problem with this
when people just blow off
their mouth all the time
you know what happens
even if you're against it
it can still affect you
think about someone who's in a bad church
hearing a false gospel over and over again
it can start to affect them
they can start making some weird statements
now there's obviously a line
where you're not going to cross there
but I'm just saying
they're going to start to get confused on stuff
you can't just allow it
well I was like eat the meat and spit out the bones
yeah well that's good advice
if like 99% of the meat
is meat and not bones
I hate eating meat
where it's like it takes 30 minutes
because it's filled full of bones
it doesn't matter how good it is
I'm too lazy to just spend all that time
and it's like yeah you know what
with preaching it's like you search the scriptures
to see whether the things are so
because no matter who it is preaching
we're going to make mistakes
you figure it out for yourself
you read the Bible but it's just like
most of it is actually good information
you know you listen to this garbage
over and over again it will start to affect you
it becomes so common
that it will start to feel normal
the process of normalization
it's kind of like in India
people bow down to a cow
is that normal? no it's not
but it will start to feel normal
I mean when I first moved to the Philippines
I mean Idolatry was pretty crazy to me
now I'm just kind of used to it
sad to say in the Philippines
when I first moved there
I mean seeing a man wearing a dress
I mean I was like what in the world
but you see it everywhere
there's a lot of cross-dressers in the Philippines
it's very high up in the LGBT culture
and you see it all the time
you kind of just get used to it
and the thing is
when you hear somebody saying
so many stupid things
and all this feminist garbage
you know what takes place?
eventually it slowly starts to affect women
it's crazy
I don't really follow honestly
issues in America as much
with politics and stuff
I talked to my mom several times a week
so she'll fill me in
and it's just like this Lindsay Clancy case
it's like what in the world
when people are defending a woman
who murdered her children
so pastor how should they deal with it
she should already be dead
the death penalty
end of story
as far as I know she didn't deny doing it
so why are we even having a debate about it
and yet there's all these women
just trying to defend her
and look
when this garbage comes into a local church
you know what takes place
it will start to affect the people at church
I'll be honest with you
I'm a little bit late to the party
when it comes to preaching against feminism
because honestly a year and a half ago
I was like you know why is there so much preaching
on feminism is it really that big of an issue
maybe it wasn't as big in the Philippines but now I'm like
okay my eyes are awake
okay I was wrong
I get it
and here's the thing when you're a pastor
one of your jobs is to really just be
I mean you're vigilant you're ready for anything
it's kind of like this
you know I remember just you know going back
over a decade ago you know a lot of my family
thought I was really extreme against the LGBT
but they kind of changed their mind
it's like you know every time I talk to the mom
she just tells me how much she hates the LGBT
I'm thinking mom it's
amen
it's like because
it's gone so far
that it's obvious
and the thing is
when it starts at the beginning it's like
oh it seems small doesn't seem like
is that really that big of a deal
but then it gets worse and worse
and worse and worse
and then it's just like front and center
before your face like man feminism is just
like all around us
and in fundamental Baptist churches
fighting against male leadership in the homes
what's the end of Jezebel in the Old Testament
2 Kings 9 verse 30
and when Jehu was
coming to Jezebel
heard of it and she painted her face
and tired her head and looked out of the window
and as Jehu entered into the gate she said
had Zimri peace
who slew his master
and so basically she's wicked
and evil she's like well you know what if you kill me
you're not going to have any peace
just trying to say whatever to just
get out of the situation so she's not killed
and Jezebel is destroyed
and you know for
for all of time
the name Jezebel
is going to be known as the most evil woman
that has ever existed
the number one name
that is evil and known as wicked
is Jezebel
we got a Revelation chapter 2 we're going to close up
Revelation 2
and you know what this really comes down to is just a matter of
authority
there's God
given authority in the Bible
look
I am not a perfect husband
I am not a perfect father
but I am the one
who makes the rules in my home
because I am the leader
I make the decisions
I make the rules and here's the thing
I might disagree with things
that you do in your home
but you have the authority
as the husband
and let me tell you something men
if your wives are being
rebellious and just starting to promote
this feminist sort of garbage
you have to put a stop to it
it's going to get worse and worse
and here's the thing about it she's not going to be happy
being this rebellious Jezebel
she's not
the way that God designed
is women to have a meek and quiet spirit
in the sight of God it's a great price
let me tell you something in the sight of your husband
it's a great price
not fighting against your husband
not fighting it's all
but no having a meek and quiet spirit
and here's the thing ladies
you are going to be happier doing that
than just being like I am woman
hear me roar
that's not going to make you happy
it's going to make you miserable
look I would say a lot of us that are in this room
like my wife is a very smart woman
and I'm sure that a lot of guys here
say man my wife is very smart
and look you know sometimes my wife is right about things
like she has the right opinion
but the thing is I do make the decisions in my home
it's not a matter of
who's right in the situation
it is a matter of authority
and God given authority
I've had jobs before where my boss
asked me to do something and inside my head
I'm thinking you know what
I don't think that's a good idea
you say what do you do
I just do what he says
because I don't make the rules
I'm not the boss
it doesn't matter if I'm right
it's like I don't make the rules
and when it comes to God given authority
the God given authority
is the one that makes the rules
Revelation chapter 2 verse 20
notwithstanding
I have a few things against thee
because I'll suffer that woman Jezebel
which called herself a prophetess
to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication
to eat things sacrifice and idols
and I gave her space to repent of her fornication
and she repented not
you know sometimes you think man you know
pastors are like too long suffering
they give people a lot of chances
but you know God's long suffering
and honestly you know one of the things
is when you kick somebody out of church
you kind of want it to be super obvious
where everybody's in agreement with you
rather than it being in the gray area
but she's given a space
to repent of her fornication
and she repented not
and says behold I will cast her
into a bed and them that commit adultery
with her into great tribulation
except they repent of their deeds
and I'll kill her children with death
and all the churches shall know that I am he
which searcheth the reins and hearts
and I'll give them to every one of you according to your works
look we're seeing a bona fide church
this is not a Pentecostal church
this is not a Catholic church
you're looking at a fundamental
Baptist type of church
you're looking at a church that is a legitimate church
a real church
and yet in a real church
even going back 2,000 years ago
this spirit of feminism
can actually come in
how much more in 2,026
wives be meek
be quiet
follow your husbands
love your husbands
stand by your pastor in these fights
and stand by authority
stand by God
given authority
thank you for allowing us to be here today
and I ask you to help all of the couples
that are in this room
for the wives to be submissive
and to love their husbands
to be a meek and quiet woman
ask you to help all the men be the proper leaders
and take authority in their homes
and to also love their wives God
and ask you to continue to bless this church
and help us apply this sermon to our lives
in Jesus' name we pray amen
