A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

A House Divided

ACCORDING TO FUNK, AND WAGGNAL ENCYCLOPEDIA THERE ARE IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, SOMETHING LIKE 1.7 BILLION PEOPLE, THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. DIVIDED INTO MANY DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. THE PHYSICAL CHURCH IS DIVIDED INTO MANY DENOMINATIONS. BUT THE SPIRITUAL CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, IS IN PERFECT UNITY. WHY, IS THE PHYSICAL CHURCH DIVIDED INTO MANY DENOMINATIONS? BECAUSE IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH DENOMINATIONS, ARE BOTH THE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. AND, I BELIEVE, THAT IT IS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, THAT ARE IN KEY POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY, IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH DENOMINATIONS. AND IT IS THEY THAT DETERMINE THE DOCTRINE TAUGHT. DOCTRINE THAT IS DESIGNED TO SEND THE CHILDREN OF GOD INTO THE FLAMES OF HELL. LET ME AT THIS TIME MENTION SOME OF THEIR DOCTRINE. HERE IS ONE OF THEIR DOCTRINES, FAITH PLUS NOTHING EQUALS SALVATION. AND OTHER OF THEIR DOCTRINE IS, ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO. ANOTHER OF THEIR DOCTRINES IS, GOD LOVES YOU, UNCONDITIONALLY. ANOTHER HERESY THAT THEY PREACH IS, BAPTISM IS NOT NECESSARY TO SALVATION. ALL THESE DOCTRINES ARE DESIGNED TO SEND GOD'S CHILDREN TO DESTRUCTION. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS SAID THESE WORDS, "A KINGDOM DIVIDED CANNOT STAND, A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND.

Mt:12:25: And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

BELOVED OF GOD, I ONCE HEARD A MAN ASK ANOTHER MAN THIS QUESTION; "WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT ALL THESE DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS WILL COME TOGETHER, AND BE ONE BODY?" AND, THE MAN REPLIED, "IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHRIST JESUS RETURNS." I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN A LITTLE SOONER THAN THAT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PHYSICAL CHURCH WILL COME TOGETHER, AND BE ONE BODY, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ANTICHRIST BEGINS TO PLACE THE MARK OF THE BEAST UPON HIS CHILDREN. BEGINS TO MAKE WAR AGAINST THE SAINTS. EXTREME PERSECUTION WILL UNITE THE SAINTS. THE ANTICHRIST IS COMING WHETHER YOU ARE READY, OR NOT.

Rv:13:4: And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Rv:13:5: And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

Rv:13:6: And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Rv:13:7: And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Rv:13:8: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Rv:13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rv:13:17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rv:13:18: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, HAVE YOU GAVE IT ANY THOUGHT AS TO WHY THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS. IT WAS NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT CAUSED THE DIVISIONS. GOD'S CHILDREN LOVE UNITY, AND PEACE. GOD'S CHILDREN LOVE GOD, AND PROVE THEIR LOVE FOR GOD BY KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS. BUT IT IS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN THAT HAS CAUSED THE DISCORD. PENTECOSTALS DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY IN UNITY, THEY ONLY BELIEVE IN JESUS. CHURCH OF CHRIST DO NOT BELIEVE IN PLAYING ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE CHURCH. BAPTIST DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER FOR SALVATION; ALL SUCH BELIEFS CAUSE DISUNITY IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCHES, FOR THESE TEACHING ARE CONTRARY TO SOUND DOCTRINE, CONTRARY TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

Prv:6:16: These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

Prv:6:17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Prv:6:18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Prv:6:19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, WHO HAS CAUSED THE DIVISIONS IN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH? SATAN AND HIS CHILDREN. IT WAS SATAN, AND HIS CHILDREN, THAT HAS SOWED DISCORD, AMONG THE BRETHREN. IT WAS THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, THAT PREACHED THE HERESIES, THAT CAUSED THE DIVISIONS. I BELIEVE THAT DURING THE TIME OF CHRIST, SATAN HAD PUT HIS CHILDREN IN KEY POSITIONS IN THE TEMPLE, AND THEY DETERMINED THE DOCTRINE TAUGHT. FOR EXAMPLE THE SADDUCEES, DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION

Mt:22:23: The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, (KJV)

LISTEN CAREFULLY CHILDREN OF GOD, THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE, THIS VERY DAY THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. YOU MAY WONDER HOW I KNOW? IF MEN, AND WOMEN BELIEVED IN THE RESURRECTION, THEY WOULD NOT BLASPHEME, NOR COMMIT ADULTERY, NEITHER WOULD THEY VISIT WITCHES, NOR BOW DOWN TO IDOLS. NEITHER WOULD THEY PREACH, AND TEACH HERESY. BUT, JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING. AND, EVERY PERSON WILL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, WHILE IN THIS TABERNACLE OF FLESH. LISTEN TO THE WORDS THAT SOLOMON WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD.

Eccl:12:13: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Eccl:12:14: For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, THE OTHERS IN AUTHORITY IN THE TEMPLE; THE PHARISEES, MADE GOD'S WORD OF NON EFFECT. JESUS COMPARED THEM TO A WHITED SEPULCHER.

Mt:23:27: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Mt:23:28: Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

IT IS MY BELIEVETH, CHILDREN OF LIGHT, THAT SATAN HAS PLACED HIS CHILDREN IN AUTHORITY IN THESE DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS, AND IT IS THEY THAT DECIDE THE FALSE DOCTRINE TAUGHT. THEY HAVE EVEN SIT UP COLLEGES, AND UNIVERSITIES, TO INDOCTRINATE YOUNG MEN, AND YOUNG WOMEN WITH FALSE DOCTRINE. COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE CHILD OF GOD, NOT EVERY THING IN WRITING IS THE TRUTH; AS MEN, AND WOMEN GO THROUGH SCHOOL READING BOOKS, AND FINDING ANSWERS, THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO BELIEVE EVERY THING IN PRINT IS TRUE. BUT A LIE WRITTEN IS NOT ANY BETTER, OR WORSE, THAN A LIE SPOKEN. FALSE PROPHETS, PASTORS, AND TEACHERS WRITE MULTITUDES OF BOOKS. IF WHAT YOU READ DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, IT IS A LIE. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT KEEP THESE DENOMINATIONS FROM COMING TOGETHER, AND MAKING ONE BODY OF BELIEVERS. THE GREATEST OF ALL REASONS IS, THE LOVE OF MONEY. WHEN YOU SEE EVIL, THINK MONEY; FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

1Tm:6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (KJV)

ANOTHER THING, SAINTS OF GOD, THAT KEEPS THE DENOMINATIONS FROM COMING TOGETHER, INTO ONE BODY OF BELIEVERS, IS WHAT SHALL BE USED AS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. SOME MEN BELIEVE THAT THE POPE IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST, SOME BELIEVE THAT TRADITION, AND SCRIPTURE, IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. OTHERS BELIEVE THAT THE MEN OF THEIR CHURCH DENOMINATION, IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. I BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, ESPECIALLY THE NEW TESTAMENT, KING JAMES TRANSLATION, IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED TO RECORD THESE WORDS.

2Tm:3:15: And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Tm:3:17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(KJV)

CHILDREN OF GOD, SATAN AND HIS CHILDREN HAVE WRITTEN MULTITUDES OF TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE, AND THESE TRANSLATIONS DO NOT AGREE IN SUBSTANCE. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR MEN TO DECIDE WHICH TRANSLATION IS TRUE, AND WHICH TRANSLATION IS TO BE USED, AS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. WHEN THE PHYSICAL CHURCH COMES TOGETHER INTO ONE BODY, AFTER THE PHYSICAL CHURCH IS PURGED OF THE CHILDREN OF SATAN, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE, WHO WILL REIGN OVER THE PHYSICAL CHURCH, WHO WILL RECEIVE THE MONEY, WHAT; OR WHO WILL BE THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, MARK THOSE THAT SAY THE PHYSICAL CHURCH SHALL BE RAPTURED BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST COMES. FOR THEY ARE FALSE PROPHETS. THE LORD JESUS WILL NOT COME BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST MAKES HIS APPEARANCE.

2Thes:2:1: Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Thes:2:2: That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Thes:2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Thes:2:4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2Thes:2:5: Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

2Thes:2:6: And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

2Thes:2:7: For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

2Thes:2:8: And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

2Thes:2:9: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

2Thes:2:10: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Thes:2:11: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2Thes:2:12: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

CHILDREN OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH, THE ANTICHRIST SHALL REIGN FORTY TWO MONTHS; THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS. THEN CHRIST JESUS SHALL RETURN FOR HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH. HE SHALL SEND HIS ANGELS FORTH, AND GATHER FIRST OUT OF HIS KINGDOM, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN TO BE BURNED. THEN SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS SHINE AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER.

Mt:13:24: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

Mt:13:25: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

Mt:13:26: But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

Mt:13:27: So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

Mt:13:28: He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Mt:13:29: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

Mt:13:30: Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

AND, SAINTS OF GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST INTERPRETS THE PARABLE. AND HERE IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PARABLE.

Mt:13:36: Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Mt:13:37: He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

Mt:13:38: The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Mt:13:39: The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Mt:13:40: As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Mt:13:41: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Mt:13:42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mt:13:43: Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SHALL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT TO THOSE THAT ARE LOST. BUT TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THE LORD SHALL NOT COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.

1Thes:5:1: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

1Thes:5:2: For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Thes:5:3: For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1Thes:5:4: But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

HOLY CHILDREN NO MAN CAN TELL YOU THE EXACT DAY OR HOUR THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SHALL RETURN. BUT WE, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, CAN TELL YOU VERY CLOSE TO THE TIME. THE ANTICHRIST SHALL REIGN THREE, AND ONE HALF YEARS. AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SHALL DESTROY HIM WHEN HE RETURNS. THEREFORE IF YOU WILL COUNT THREE, AND ONE HALF YEARS FROM WHEN THE ANTICHRIST BEGINS TO REIGN. YOU SHOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO THE DAY THAT THE LORD RETURNS.
