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:

Faithless

This might be the answer to the divorce problem. Alienation of Affection. Alienation of affections is a legal term for convincing a wife to leave her husband, often for another man, causing the husband to lose conjugal relations. Alienation of affections was a civil wrong for which a deprived husband could sue the party convincing the wife to leave, but the right to sue has been abolished in almost all states. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.When the Apostle Paul speaks of every man, in the above scripture He is speaking of the Children of God, The Elected, The Selected, The Hand Picked of God, before the foundation of the world predestinated, to be adopted into the family of faith. For Satan’s children are totally without faith. Faith is the ability to believe spiritual things without seeing. Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Amplified Translation Hebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. The sermon subject is "Faithless." There are men that preach the doctrine of Evolution. The doctrine of Evolution is not mentioned in the Holy Scriptures it is the doctrine of faithless men. The bible gives a detail description of Creation. But faithless men are unable to believe that God created Heaven, and Earth, and all that is within them in seven days. 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. The faithless cannot be saved from the wrath of God on Judgment Day, because they cannot receive the Holy Ghost that they might live in eternity. John 14:16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. It is the children of Satan that do the will of their father. It is the will of Satan that every Child of God be sent into the flames of Hell. God by the mouth of Hosea said these words, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."With sick people sitting in most every church, unfaithful men refuse to teach the people that it is God’s will for them to call for the Elders of the Church, and that they pray over them, and anoint them with oil, that they might receive their healing. What defense shall pastor’s give for this negligence when they stand before God on Judgment Day . Doctors can prescribe medicine, Surgeons can cut and sew, but when it comes to healing God has reserved that for Himself . In the parable of the Wheat, and the Tares it is the tares that are the children of Satan. Notice that it is the Tares , that are gathered first and burned. In these verses of scripture Jesus is speaking. Matthew 13:24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So 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? 28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30Let 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. 36Then 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. 37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The 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; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Faithless men preach that the church shall be raptured before the appearance of the Antichrist. But that is not so, the Holy Scriptures record that the Antichrist shall make his appearance before Christ Jesus returns for His bride the church. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That 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. 3Let 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; Why were the wicked created? they were created to be taken and destroyed. 2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; When it comes to spiritual things, men without faith only believe what they can see. When it comes to baptism faithless men believe that baptism is just figurative of life, death, and resurrection. But in reality when the Elect of God are baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ, they are translated out of the world, and into the Body of Christ. Acts 2:38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And when they receive the Holy Ghost, they become a member in the Body of Christ. Acts 19:1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7And all the men were about twelve. Satan has more children then the Lord God. For there are multitudes on the broad way, but only a few on the narrow way. Matthew:7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Men that deceive say a man cannot live above sin. When a man receives the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost gives us the power to live the sin free life. 1John :3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. The unbelievers do not believe in the doctrine of Predestination. They do not believe that God has placed His Children on a path that leads to a Heavenly City called New Jerusalem.We shall walk the street of Gold, and be heir, and joint heir with Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God. (As the earth rotates in a obit around the sun, it is at a certain place at a certain time.) God has planned in love for us, as we pilgramage through this present world, so that all the events of the world work together for our good. Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? How does Satan destroy some preachers? If a preacher preaches tithing, in his effort to place that burden upon the congregation he actually places the burden upon himself, for a man cannot preach one way, and live another. Romans 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? The tithing law was a tax placed upon the children of Israel for the support of the Levitical Tribe. A tax that had to be kept to the letter. If a person was short on their tax payment they went under the curse, or a sentence of condemnation. At one time all Israel went under the curse because of the tithing law. Malachi:3:8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. The tithing laws were not brought over into the New Testament for Kings do not tax their own children. Matthew:17:24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Unbelievers, do not believe that when a man of God comes with the intent to perform the ritual of the Lord’s Supper, and raises holy hands and blesses the unleavened bread, and the fruit of the vine, that the unleavened bread becomes the Body of Christ, and the fruit of the vine becomes the blood of Christ. Why not? Because it takes faith to believe that both species change. Jesus has said these words "this is my Body, and this is my Blood. Matthew:26:26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Except we, as children of God eat of the Flesh, and drink of the Blood of Jesus Christ we will have no life in us. John:6:53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. If a man eats of the Lord’s Supper unworthy he will be guilty of the Body, and Blood of Christ.1Corinthians11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. Unbelieving men pray with their head covered, and unbelieving women pray with their head uncovered. 1Corinthians:11:3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. It is a serious thing to come before the throne of God. Esther:4:15Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 16Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
