Amen, all right let's look at Leviticus chapter 26 verse 27 it says if you will
not for all this hearken unto me but walk contrary unto me that I will walk
contrary unto you also in fury and I even I will chastise you seven times for
your sins and you shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters
shall you eat let's pray Heavenly Father we thank you Lord so much for this
wonderful day for all the visitors Lord for all the people that are here to
listen to your word Lord I pray you'd fill me with your spirit Lord and I
know this is a different type of message I pray Lord that you'd help me to
articulate what you put on my heart this morning and Lord the people to hear in
Jesus name I pray amen so the title of the sermon this morning is earmarks of a
wicked civilization cannibalism earmarks of a wicked civilization cannibalism so
in this verse the Bible says in verse 29 it says you shall eat the flesh of your
sons and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat this is a punishment from
God for being a wicked and evil civilization now throughout the world
there's all kinds of different places that have been destroyed and there's you
know people find these ruins of these people that you know we're obviously
cannibals there's there's earmarks that show and an earmark is like a
characterization that kind of shows you it's like a characterization or a
description of something like an earmark is like if you punch a cow's ear to show
ownership but more than that just it just shows you something that's a
reality that's true so an earmark of a wicked civilization is the fact that
people become cannibals now God is part of this this is obviously written to the
children of Israel but let me submit this to you that any nation that ever
gets into wickedness and idolatry to the point where the children of Israel did
God will overthrow that place he will destroy that place and and maybe that
he'll leave a remnant and maybe he won't but in history there's been plenty of
cannibalism now after the New Testament was written obviously cannibalism has
dropped off dramatically in the world but there's still places I'm sure that
do it there's still places that partake in of it I'm sure but you you always see
these places that were once great people and then now they're their cities are
deserted think about the Incas you know they have Machu Picchu and Machu Picchu
was deserted because it was conquered and people didn't even rediscover until
1906 or something like that but that great place where the stones are set
together so perfect they didn't even need to use mortar one at one point they
were they were doing all these buildings and things like that were engineering
feats for their time they don't even really know how they did it in some
circumstances but you know just think about Egypt you got the the ruins of the
pyramids I mean they're still there but I mean what was once great Egypt is not
Egypt is not a great powerhouse in the world right now and it's because the
Satan always tries to overturn the things that are going on in a nation and
you know nations can get great but then you see them degrade into wickedness and
idolatry and at the very look at the first verse in this chapter says you
shall make no idols nor graven images neither rear you up a standing image
neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land and bow down to it
for I am the Lord your God but these rules apply to all nations these rules
apply to all people and I talked last week about how the God's law is written
on the the hearts of the people that don't even have God's law people know
what they're doing is wrong okay that's not like they don't know a lot of times
these nations end up being cannibalistic and so I know that's kind of a morbid
sermon title there but I think that it's important for us to understand where
what the the mistakes that people make in history are doomed to repeat
themselves if they don't learn their lesson and so I just want to you know
this is kind of be a little bit of a of a TT sermon but I'm gonna apply this
some scriptures in the end and so it is kind of a morbid sermon title but I we
need to know the depths of what a nation can go to and then what God's gonna do
because of the depths that they go to because look America is headed that way
and so we need to understand our position and in the way that the work
the things of the world are is anything gonna stop Babylon USA from being judged
no but we can stave off that judgment we can help stave it off for a while and we
can do the best we can knowing that that's gonna happen anyway right so
cannibalism is a practice mentioned several times in the scripture as a
punishment of God on a wicked nation what what did why did God kick the
Canaanites out and dispossess them and let the children of Israel take over
their lands why because they were doing the same exact things that God says he
would punish the children of Israel for in here and so basically once a nation
gets to a certain point God destroys them so like the Amorites he said their
time is not yet full to where God would bring the children of Israel against
them but once they became so wicked God just destroys people that's what he has
to do because he's a god of judgment he's not going to just let stuff like
this slide and cannibalism is one of the weirdest and most disgusting things that
you could even think of to do is to eat another human being right so and all
over the world there's evidences of these nations becoming super wicked and
being wiped out by God for this type of weakness and it starts with idolatry it
starts with idolatry it starts with people bowing down to statues look at
what Nebuchadnezzar he reared up the statue in Babylon it was an idol wasn't
it they're only supposed to bow down to that idol they're supposed to listen to
a certain type of music and when they heard that music they bow down to it
what happened to all those nations that were mentioned in that statue what
happened to those nations are they around anymore no they're not around
anymore there's a reason why because once they become so wicked God has to
destroy them okay so and this might get a little controversial this morning but
there's a there's a belief system when it comes to native people in countries
like Hawaiian you know the people talk about how you know one thing that
bothers me about Hawaii is how much they try to push their heat and culture down
people's throats when you go there I love the Hawaiian people I want to see
him saved but I don't want to see men walking around in grass skirts sorry I
don't want to see you know I don't want to watch women half naked dancing in
front of me and my children I'm not interested in that kind of culture the
reason why they were able to be conquered is probably because of that
kind of culture and let's just be honest there was a headhunter cannibalistic
people that lived there and I'll get into that a little bit later but how
about American Indians what is the story that we hear about American Indians that
they were at one with nature and then Whitey came and destroyed them all for
no reason right isn't that what we hear the white Europeans came over and and
that is true they did come over and destroy them but why did they do it why
was that allowed to happen do you think that they were like worshiping and
spirit and truth and then all of a sudden just for no reason they got
destroyed no you know why they got destroyed they got destroyed because the
way they were behaving what were they idolatrous what were they human sacrifice
was part of the things that they did and then cannibalism they were involved in
cannibalism okay and I'll prove that to you this morning so who's ever heard of
the Anasazi Indians right they're like supposedly the ones that people the
Native Americans look to as like this is where they were at their zenith and they
made these they're called pueblo a lot of times are pueblo Indians or whatever
because they made these pueblos which means the Great House so but these
Indians were in ancient North America in the southwest US who flourished between
200 BC and AD 1500 the earliest phase of their culture is known as the basket
maker period the present-day pueblo culture developed from a later stage so
they want to say that these Indians here the Anasazi were basket makers peaceful
basket makers and for some reason they just disappeared off the face of the
planet well but that's not exactly true because see the problem with with
history sometimes is it becomes his story and why is there this this this
need to try to make indigenous peoples out to be these peaceful nature loving
people that were just minding their own business until the Europeans came and
destroyed them well I'll just submit this to you that any nation that acts
the way these people were acting the way Babylon was acting the way Rome acted
the way Greece acted every place is given over to idolatry and human
sacrifice and cannibalism get destroyed and wiped off the face of the planet by
God he's not just gonna allow that to happen but these people are you know
the the story that they're now trying to project is that these poor Indians well
you know there was savagery on both sides there was there was savagery by
the by the Europeans I'll admit that but God always brings a more wicked people a
wicked nation to destroy that place that's how he does it God has his own
plans and his own patterns that he does and the devil has his own plans and
things that he does he's still he's got the same game plan every time and people
fall for it every single time I mean think about even the nation of Israel
that was supposed to be God's people were given over to this stuff and what
ended up happening the curses that God told them were gonna happen to him in
Leviticus chapter 26 they all happened because they let the devil take over
their society and then ultimately what did they do they ate their own children
literally ate their own children it's disgusting but it was a judgment from
God so but people don't want to admit that the Indians were cannibals they
don't they try to reject that they'll the the evidence is right before their
faces and they reject it because they just want to perpetuate this peace
loving smoke the pipe with me peyote religion which is only a couple of
hundred years old by the way that's not as old as they say it is obviously they
did have a religion before is called worshipping the devil when you have
totem poles with different kind of of gods on it that's idolatry there it's a
carved image okay so they were given over to idolatry and so and look I'm not
saying that I don't love Native Americans I do we went to Yakima to try
to preach the gospel to the Native Americans see God leaves a remnant
sometimes and that remnant can be saved okay but God overall destroyed well if
you would call this a nation of Native Americans God destroyed it and just like
God will destroy any nation and he'll bring another nation that's more wicked
than them but after Babylon destroyed Israel they became just as bad as they
were they were worse than they were when they came even and then God
destroyed them later on for the same exact reasons so but people don't want
to admit that their people were cannibals and it's just a fact of
history it's a fact of history that they try to whitewash and it really it
angers me because why why are they trying to do that because they
ultimately want those people to get back into the same practices as they were in
so they could be destroyed again that's really the purpose isn't it because
that's what's going to happen would you say that the American Indians are now
more are doing better than when they were at their best no they're not most
of them are I mean drug not most of them just saying in the reservations they
have a problem with alcohol a big problem with alcohol and drugs some of
the reservations won't even allow alcohol on them because it's destroyed
the people so badly and what did we see when we went to Yakima we saw the same
thing gangs violence you know and what what's it's it's hurting them to for
them to continue in that culture and that it's a death style you know if you
worship something other than God he's a jealous God he's not going to put up
with it when you start bringing out these idols and worshiping and bowing
down to them and then what's next human sacrifice that's what they always start
doing human sacrifice and then they start eating those sacrifices so you
know for some reason the problems in history just repeat themselves they do
and it's because of the devil's plan versus God's plan and God's plan is he's
always going to destroy those wicked people so history can be changed the
truth can be buried and you know that's fine but but there is facts of science I
believe in science I don't believe that science is two men you know being
together or that a woman is a man trapped in a man's body or whatever I
don't believe in that that's not science that's called freak show okay but
cannibalism has specifically by markings made on bones from two stone tools been
proven to be in these Indian cultures so let me explain that to you so when you
who's butchered an animal in here before okay when you butcher the animal they
have tendons that run along the bone and in through the muscle and you have to
cut those off right if you've ever have you ever cut the tendons of an animal
when you cut those tendons there's marks that are left on the bones and you know
so they found bones in these places these Native American places where they
were they're called Pueblos these Pueblo places were like where they actually
worship the devil they gave sacrifices to their gods and then they found human
bones with these earmarks on them that show that they were cutting the tendons
off of them I mean we're not talking about just a couple we're talking about
hundreds and hundreds of skeletons found and not just one place where they
just kind of got weird in one place no it was every almost every place in that
area had the same tendencies so it was a culture it became a cannibal culture and
you know I know that's gross but it's true they would cut off their heads they
would cook them in the fire and they would eat their brains it's pretty sick
but that's what you know and and you know eating people eating brains at all
don't eat brains by the way it will turn you into a zombie but it really is bad
for you you're not supposed to eat brains there's like you can get diseases
and you know have you ever heard of mad cow disease you know why people got that
because they're eating cow brains cow and then they were mixing those cow
they were having the cows even eat their own brains and that's I think that's
what really happened I'm pretty sure but yeah I know I'm sorry guys we're
ruining your appetite but he'll get it back so so all over in these Anastasi
areas in the southwest these pueblos as they called them and they're like oh
look at how advanced their society is and they're not advanced anymore are
they they were they're left that they don't even know what happened to them I
can submit what I think happened to them they were probably killed by
another tribe that was more powerful than them as a vengeance of God because
of their wickedness so so how else do you know what's another way to know that
someone was a can't had a cannibal culture well you find bones and they're
broken up and what they're doing is they're trying to get them the marrow
out of those bones and so also what they do is they find coprolites I don't
know if I'm explain if I'm pronouncing that right coprolites but what that is
it's petrified poo of human beings okay and when they test when they find that
they test it and they see that they have human myoglobin inside that inside their
dung right they're petrified dung and so human what is myoglobin myoglobin is
like I don't mean I have the definition right here it's a red protein containing
heme which carries this and stores oxygen in muscle cells it's structurally
similar to this sub subunit of hemoglobin human myoglobin only gets in
to their fecal matter in one way and that's by consuming human flesh and so
when they tested these things when they found these things they've tested them
and that's still the only way you're gonna get human myoglobin inside your
feces is if you have consumed human flesh so they've proven beyond a shadow
of a doubt but people are just like no no even a professor there's a professor
that wrote a book at the University of Arizona and it's he's not like a Bible
believing Christian but what he sees is the evidence and he just presents that
evidence and people get mad why because you're you're trying to overturn the
false narrative of Indians being a peaceful and and nature-loving people
that were attacked for no reason and their homeland was stolen from them okay
so do you ever see God giving the Canaanites reparations for things no he
didn't he didn't get reparations and so they didn't get special privileges where
they got their medical care and all this other stuff paid for because God
overthrew them because they were wicked that's not that that didn't happen
that's something that humans do okay and what is the house that helped them how
does it helped them as a society they're on reservations living in
squalor for the most part and they're drunks and drug addicted and they're
without Jesus still it's like the government like overthrew them and then
made sure that a lot of them would get saved but thank God for Christian
missionaries that came over and taught them how to read and write and how to
read the Word of God and how to be saved you know obviously a lot of them were
not Bible believing Christians in the sense that we would understand it but I
mean they were called so I preached a sermon last weekend called savage now
that type of savage is different than the type of savage that these people
were savages they were called or they were called savages because of them
eating human flesh and and scalping the the scalping came from the Indians it
they're the ones that started scalping people and some of the bones that they
found were scalped twice so obviously they scalped them and then the person
survived somehow and then they scalped them again but myoglobin and the ear
marks or the cuts that you could see on the bones proved that they were doing
cannibalistic things in these cultures it's not just the American Indians
though the Hawaiians were doing it too even up to the 1860s Hawaiians were
doing it there was a god missionary that he was traveling with his friend he
was hurt and like he woke up in the morning and the guy was gone and when he
asked the natives about it there they were too embarrassed to say because they
took him and ate him when they killed Captain Cook in the late 1700s Captain
Cook they only gave him back the the butt cheeks and the and like the thighs
or something everything else was eaten and sacrificed to their gods now Hawaiians
will try to deny this I actually read an article about it last night they're like
that didn't really happen yeah it did it was proven over and over again that they
did it and what they were doing is they were trying to steal his you know they
thought he was a great they thought he was God when he came and sailed in with
his white masks on his ship and stuff they thought he was this one of the gods
that they sacrificed people to when I was in Hawaii I went on the top of one
of the mountains on the north side of the island and there was a human
sacrifice place right there they weren't just sacrificing animals they sacrificed
human beings that even said it you know on on the thing they sacrificed human
beings and they ate them okay so and that's wicked that's how you know that
it's the end of a society but but you know God's grace has made it to where
the native Hawaiians are still there but you know it's funny they call themselves
native Hawaiians but in reality there was a people that were there before they
got there and they call them like the little people or something they were
smaller than them obviously have you ever seen a Tongan before they're big
have you seen you know some big there's in Hawaii I look like a shrimp compared
to some of these guys okay so but what was I saying I'm having a senior moment
huh what all the people before so there was people before the Hawaiians got
there and the Hawaiians came from Tahiti they're Polynesian so it wasn't really
their homeland they came and took it from somebody else but then they sit
there and whine about how the United States took their land away from them
you know you can't have it both ways you came and stole it from someone and you
know what they did they tortured those people and murdered them and and wiped
them off the face of the planet for a thousand years so the Hawaiians didn't
even get there till 800 AD or something like that so that that's not that long
ago so don't say you're from Hawaii Hawaii came up as a volcano you know it
wasn't it hasn't been there for thousands and thousands of years so but
I'm kind of getting ahead of myself here but so so so they found that they they
did things to their how did they know that they cook their brains and all
that because the burn marks on the back of their skulls there was burn marks on
the back of them where they set them in the fire and on the inside they they
knew how to cook them to perfection because on the inside the skull was not
burnt so they were cooking their brains in their skulls and then knocking the
knock you know cracking them open and and eating the brains it's pretty gross
I know I'm sorry but it's true and sometimes the truth is ugly it's not
exactly a great I mean I've been studying all this for a long time and so
I've been waiting to to preach about it and I just thought well why not this
Sunday because tonight sermon kind of goes with it a little bit but it's way
more positive so well it's got positive moments I'll just say that this will
have you know not very many positive moments I'm sorry about that but why am
I preaching this well we need to understand what happens to societies if
they disobey God and they are idolaters you know cannibals cannibals was wicked
and it's the grossest thing that you could possibly think about now there are
times that when people became cannibals because they were starving to death that
was not the case here they found 300 skeletons that all died about the same
time and so there had to have been a lot of people to eat all that meat because
the marks are all over where they butchered them like an animal and
there's about there's a lot of meat on a single person a lot of meat that they
could eat so there it was a practice that they were doing it wasn't just some
ritualistic cannibalism that's what they'll say and a lot of these things
I'll read to you they'll say it's ritualistic cannibalism so they're
basically saying that they just did it just because it was a ritual that they
had to do like they just took a bite we're like okay I'm done that's not what
they were doing they were actually eating these people so Chaco Canyon is
where the Anasazi lived 15 thou out of 15,000 skeletons that they checked 500
had signs of violent death and then 300 were butchered and consumed and this is
just you know all these out of the 15,000 skeletons so that's that's a
pretty good number of people that they butchered and consumed so but you have
these people trying to downplay dismiss this there was actually I watched a
documentary about it and the guy took like a real animal carcass and like he
used the stone tools that they would use to cut the meat off and how that
they would slice the tendons and he because he wanted to say he wanted to
make sure before he just called this culture cannibalistic that he was right
about what he was saying with all the cut marks on the bones and the heads and
all that stuff and he did exactly everything with an animal carcass and
when he cut the tendons off the same marks were there so you know that that's
what they were doing and they were clearly human skeletons so this could
this culture and this Anasazi Indians these the the hop each or the Hopi or
whatever you want to call them all these these these Indian nations want to say
well these were our ancestors and maybe they were maybe God let some of them
escape and obviously there's some there's Native Americans alive today
that need to be reached for Christ but the problem is is that humans and
culture are dictating a different story and dialogue of why they were destroyed
so in 80 separate spots that they checked and villages surrounding these
areas has skeletal remains with proven cannibalism 80 locations it wasn't just
like I said one spot it was 80 locations men women children unborn children all
were amongst the remains and so you know there's a good biological I mentioned
this before but I want to read this I just kind of said what happens if you
eat brains I just typed that in a Google search and said there's a good
biological reason why cannibalism is taboo in virtually every culture eating
other humans can make you sick specifically eating the brain of another
human being can cause kuru a brain disease that's similar to mad cow
disease kuru occurs because our brains contain prions that transmit the disease
so God makes a way to punish you no matter what right it's just like people
people I've thought about this like tattoos when you get a tattoo what is
the punishment that you get for having a tattoo because a lot of these cultures
tattoos are one of the things that are in these cultures and now it seems to be
in our culture permeating it tattoos are kind of a big deal but you know you can
probably get some kind of blood disease I know there's a lot of people that have
where they have weak immune systems and I don't know if I I haven't proven that
yet I need to like do some research on it but I think that they connect all
these problems that it's possible that it's from tattooing so God's not gonna
just let you tattoo yourself and then not punish you for it I notice a lot of
people have these types of you know problems with their immune system when
they have a lot of tattoos so I don't know and I've heard rumors of it being
true so I'm not gonna dogmatically say that that's the truth here's another way
that God punishes you with the tattoo you just look like an idiot when you're
older and you have you know saggy looking tattoos all over you so and you
can't remove them they're permanent that's the other punishment so anyway
moving along the pattern of cow cannibalism was found to be in two
thirds of the great houses or pueblos that were found in the southwest in the
Chaco Valley Canyon in the southwest United States had evidence of cannibalism
these people were not peaceful basket weavers that's what they'll tell the
basket weaver no they're they're making they found their cauldrons where they
would make pots and they would boil the humans in them you know they break their
bones and then boil them into these things and even the the marks there's
polished marks on the skeletons themselves like just like if you hold a
bone up I've ever seen worse have you ever seen polished bone before they're
like kind of shines but if it's not polished it doesn't shine so that they
they saw that the bones were the exact size of the opening of the top of the
cauldron so they had to break them to a certain size to fit them in and then
they'd boil them and and and mix them around in this pot and it's been bones
would have polished marks on them where they were scraping against the sides of
the pottery where they were boiling them I mean they got a pretty precise detail
on all this so like I said the guy that I was talking about from an Arizona
State or excuse me areas University of Arizona he he wanted to make sure you
know and I really wanted to make sure before I preach a sermon like this that
I'm right about something and the guy that was doing the the demonstrations
with the animals everything matched up to exactly what they were doing with
human bones so and inside the pottery there's like a scum you know I've ever
made soup and there's like scum around the edge of it or whatever well the
scum that they found in those pottery was from humans so anyway so a great
house is what Pueblo means great house and so these places like you if you look
online you can see the pictures of these places and a great house is a large
multi-storied ancestral Pueblan structure they're built between I this
is from Wikipedia they're built between 850 and 1150 whereas the term great
house typically refers to structures in Chaco Canyon they're also found in more
northerly locations the purpose of the structures is unclear so the purposes of
the structures is unclear that's another way of saying we know what they were
doing it was called human sacrifice because that's where they found all the
bones that's where they found all the cannibalism happened that's where you
can see you can see the altars still to this day in these structures where they
would butcher the people and burn them and sacrifice them to their gods so yeah
and I understand this is an ugly ugly ugly thing that we're talking about here
but the Aztecs has anybody studied the Aztecs before okay Aztecs worshiped
false gods committed idolatry did human sacrifices took part in cannibalism the
evidence is still painted on the walls of the temples in Mexico and other
temples in the Yucatan and South America it's a fact don't sit there and feel
sorry for them for being conquered look there was a guy that used to say the
Catholic Church all right well he would say the church because he would just
throw Catholic it you know the Catholic church or the the church came over and
slaughtered these Indians for no reason and it's like I back then I didn't know
what I know now but it wasn't for no reason like even Cortez was a wicked
person he's the one that conquered the Aztecs but God was probably just using
him as an instrument to destroy them for the wickedness that they did their
wickedness is very evident there they still have the temples are some of the
temples are still intact there some of them are you know Mexico City was where
they were actually attacked and it was called a different name at that time but
it's now modern-day Mexico City and they're still they built structures on
top of the old temples that they used to do these sacrifices with and the Aztec
Empire fell when invaders led by the Spanish conquistador Herman court or
Hernan Cortez overthrew the Aztec Empire by force and captured to neck T long I
think that's how you say I don't know if I'm saying that right but in 1521 so
bringing an end to Mesoamerica's last great civilization so but at the time
they were not great anymore they were on a downward slide they're on a downward
turn and they and now do you think civilization and the in the country of
Mexico is better is it a good culture that's going on down there I mean
there's a lot of there are a lot of good people but there's a lot of wickedness
that goes on down there now too and you know if you if you want to say well I'm
Aztec and this is why would you say that why would you want to even be associated
with that because what they did in that civilization was super wicked they had
about 18 feasts a year during the months of the year to multiple gods so they
worship many gods and here's the examples of the things that they I mean
they basically had sacrifice going on 24 7 3 6 5 they had like five days of the
year where they fasted and didn't sacrifice people five days here's
examples of what they did they sacrificed children and captives to the
water deities sacrifice of captive so I'm just reading different I'm not going
to tell you all the names of all the different feasts it's going to tell you
what they did during these different feasts sacrifice of captives gladiatorial
fighting fighters dance dances of the priests wearing skin of the flayed
victims here's another type of sacrifice extraction of the heart bearing of the
flayed human skins sacrifices of children every feast they sacrifice
children everyone sacrifice of a maid or of a boy and girl and a maid is a
virgin in case you didn't know that of a boy or girl sacrifices of captain
captives by extraction of the heart so basically what they would do is they put
them on these altars and they would cut their their abdomens open and they would
reach in and grab they're still beating hard and burn it in for a sacrifice
while it was still pumping it's wicked
so they said they did sacrifice of decapitated women and extraction of her
heart sacrificed by starvation in a cave or temple that's a role sounds like a
really nice culture doesn't it like they were just at one and peace with nature
right they they starve people to death and temples and caves I mean what a way
to go you know Joshua put a bunch of boulders for the kings that they were
destroying when Joshua and and the children of Israel went to take over the
land but you know what they untook the rocks and then killed them they didn't
just leave them in there started that that's like cruel and unusual so also
sacrifice of decapitated young woman to Toki one of their gods skinned and she
was skinned and a young man wore her skin sacrifice of captives by hurling
from a height and extraction of the heart sacrifices by fire extraction of
the heart sacrifices of children to noble women extraction of the heart and
flame ritual can of cannibalism that's what they call ritual but what they did
is they they killed them took their heart out chop their head off and threw
them down down the stairs and then people are waiting to chop off their
arms and legs and the warrior that captured that person would get to have
the legs and arms for their meal or whatever for their meat I mean does
that does that sound like a culture at one with nature and all things right
with God no they're super wicked and disgusting people and when they got
slaughtered and when they got taken over they deserved it so I know this is
kind of disgusting I'm sorry but it's important to understand look I want to
change the narrative at least I want people in our church to understand that
what they're saying as history and as facts is not true because it makes you
like sympathize with their plight or whatever in reality they got judged by
God and New Testament Christians have a chance to come and save the remnant and
that's what I want to do I don't hate the people in Hawaii because there are
cannibals at one point I want I love them all I want to see them saved I
don't hate the Native Americans and Yakima you know I love them all I want
to see them saved I don't hate anybody of these cultures I want to see them
saved if God's left a remnant for us to be able to go to then we should go to
them but you know we need to quit downplaying the fact that they were
judged for what they were doing okay there's in like the northern parts of
Canada that they have a it's like this Windigo character have you ever heard of
the Windigo the Windigo is like a spirit of cannibalism that they say if
someone tastes human flesh that they get this madness about them and all they
want to do is they have an insatiable appetite to eat human flesh and I'm sure
that that legend was born of reality you know and in those places food gets
scarce and so there's no wonder that there's a legend of this creature that
eats human flesh and has insatiable appetites I'm sure that they tell these
stories to scare children you know also but there's probably some reality behind
it so these places around the world and these at like just the Aztecs alone I
think Cortez like basically beat them with very few people but one at one
point I was reading the stories about it last night and when the Aztecs fought
back against them they captured like five of their their soldiers and they
took them and immediately sacrificed them on an altar immediately in the view
of the Spaniards who watched them chop their heads off and burnt take their
hearts out and burn them in front of them it's not what people think it is
it's not this peace-loving you know native culture that you see being taught
it's just not true now I'm not saying the people nowadays aren't peaceful and
and things like that there I don't see any native cultures that are burning
people on altars and things like that why is that though because Christianity
that's why because Christianity went through the whole world and got these
place even in Hawaii I was reading the history about the missionaries to Hawaii
and they stopped the cannibalistic culture that was going on there but it's
now creeping back and I shared like a Facebook I shared a sermon I preached
about oh no here's what it was it was Pastor Anderson's Bible way to heaven
with Hawaiian you know subtitles which obviously every Hawaiian there speaks
English and why English is our first language now people that speak Hawaiian
like they don't talk they don't speak in the Hawaiian language to each other or
very rarely do they do that it's not like if you're you know Mexican and you
speak Spanish and that was your first language and now you also speak English
it's just basically English is their only real language that they know so I
was just doing it you know because I thought well maybe they would respect
the fact that the Hawaiian subtitles are there you know I didn't think that that
was my only way of reaching them it was actually speaking English but I had a
lot of people attack me from Hawaii because I put that up and what were they
saying oh you're white you're white Jesus and you know we believe in the old
gods and there's just a bunch of dissenters on there you know bringing
back that old heathen culture and acting like that was something great when it
wasn't it's wicked so here's a an account of Juan Diaz and he was one of
the people that was with Cortez when they conquered the Aztecs it says on
these altars were idols with evil looking bodies and that every night see
these are people that wrote that saw the things when they came in that every
night five Indians had been sacrificed before them their chests had been cut
open their arms and thighs have been cut off the walls were covered with blood we
stood greatly amazed and gave the island the name this letter the
sacrificial isle islet of sacrifices in English I guess in the conquest of New
Spain Diaz recounted that after landing on the coast they came across the temple
dedicated to Tezcatlipoca I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right I'm
probably gonna get this land for all my pronunciation but I don't care I'm sorry
I don't know how to pronounce it but anyway that day they had sacrificed two
boys cutting open their chests and offering their blood and hearts to that
accursed idol Diaz narrates several more sacrificial descriptions on the latter
Cortez expedition arriving in Cholula they find cages of stout wooden bars
full of men and boys who were being fattened for the sacrifice at which
their flesh would be eaten that doesn't sound like ritual sacrifice that sounds
like Hansel and Gretel okay where they're you know fattening up the kids
so she can the witch can eat them right when the conquistadors reached tenica I
can't even pronounce it now I'm gonna try it's it's modern-day Mexico City
okay Diaz described the sacrifices at the Great Pyramid they would strike the
wretch the wretched Indians chest with flint knives and hastily tear out their
palpitating heart which with the blood they present to the idols they cut off
the arms and thighs and head eating the arms and thighs at ceremonial banquets
the head they hang up on the beam and the body is given to the beast of prayer
I mean yeah it's gruesome it's gruesome but that's what that culture was like
don't let anybody fool you or tell you anything different quit you know just
sometimes when you just got to read a book sometimes you got to read a book
and find out what reality is about things you can't just believe everything
that was perpetuated in these stories so the Mayans were the same way they got
conquered the Incas were the same way they got conquered they were doing human
sacrifices Machu Picchu had an altar or they did human sacrifices up there if
you go you can walk up to Machu Picchu today it's a long walk but you can you
can still see the things that they did there and it was like a sanctuary city
where nobody would would be able to kill them or whatever but the people live
there now no they don't and the reason why is because they got conquered and
actually they conquered them with 168 Spanish soldiers 168 there was thousands
and thousands of people they conquered with 168 people it was Francisco Pizarro
and his brothers and they were you know they weren't good people either but why
did they why did they conquer them when they if you came into a place and you
just happen to see children being sacrificed to a pagan deity and an idol
what would you think about that you think these people need to be destroyed
so if a human that's not even saved would think that what do you think God
thinks about it so I've given you stories about all these different types
of cultures and what they do the Bible talks about this downward spiral that
happens turn to Romans chapter 1 I know I've been light on Bible but I'm gonna
buzz through it now Romans chapter 1 verse 18 here's what God does when
nations and people get like this he destroys them every single time he's not
just gonna allow cannibalism to just run rampant he's not it's gonna destroy
those wicked sinners right Romans chapter 1 verse 18 says the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men
does it say just the children of Israel here no it's not just the children of
Israel it's all ungodliness and unrighteousness of man the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven who hold the truth and unrighteousness because that
which may be known of God is manifest in them for God has showed it unto them
quit saying that these people have never heard of Jesus or they don't know
who God is the Bible doesn't say that it doesn't teach that anywhere the Bible
teaches that all men know how the God is manifest unto them and God has showed it
to them for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen when you look at things created they tell you there was a
creator and that will drive that should drive you to want to believe in God or
believe that there's a higher power of some sort and then God's gonna let you
know but see the problem is is that men's men love darkness rather than
light because their deeds are evil or sinful people and if a society gets
caught up in the things that I'm talking about today there's an end to them it's
going to end it says they're clearly seen being understood by the things that
are made even his eternal power in Godhead so what they are without excuse
when the downward spiral starts it's because of what they do and God has to
just you know he tries to give them mercy and gives them long-suffering and
gives them time but at some point their iniquities is filled up and God's done
with them just like he's done with an individual reprobate person he's also
done with an individual or with an reprobate society so Romans chapter 1
verse 21 says because that the new God they glorified him not as God neither
were thankful what became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was
darkened so vain in their imaginations that it started imagining things just
imagine right just imagine there's like a half human half animal God let's make
an idol to him and bow down to him and worship him this is what they do says
professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of
the uncorruptible God into an image made like to a corruptible man how does the
downward spiral start they deny God they deny the true creator they start
worshiping idols they start worshiping false gods and it says into birds and
four-footed beasts and creeping things they start worshiping animals to and
incorporating these animals as part of their God you know the Aztecs they
worship this this basically the snake you know and what what does the snake
represent Satan they basically worship the devil and so it says who changed
the truth of God into a lion worshiped and served the creature more than the
Creator who is blessed forever amen we see that in society today animals over
humans animals are equal with humans animals are better than humans because
they love me when I come home and lick my face and therefore I go and clean up
their doodoo people get weird with animals and look I have animals but
don't get too weird you know if you have a whole how a whole room for your dog
and it has like all the different animal outfits you know I told you about the
story where we go and take our dogs nails to get clipped or whatever because
that we have hardwood floors and they just get annoying after a while and they
go did you bring your dog's clothes no you mean a collar you have the clothes
they like will not call it a collar they will not call it a leash they call it
clothes and then they call them our fur babies weird so I like they refuse to
call them they call them our children like yeah the children we're bringing
those beasts in to get their nails clipped anyway look people this is the
pattern that God shows in the scripture they get idolatrous they worship animals
and it says who changed the truth of God into a lion worshiped and served the
creature more than the Creator for this cause God gave them up to vile
affections so and it says in verse 28 and God gave them over to a reprobate
mind so God eventually rejects these cultures he rejects these types of
people and it all just boils down to idolatry because when you're served what
are people doing when they worship an idol the Bible says that they're
worshipping Devils okay so they're literally worshipping Devils and they
and whether they know that or not they're still worshipping Devils and so
once that happens then the devil is going to be able to come in and say hey
why don't you just start sacrificing people to me you know I mean because
where does that my where does that come from it doesn't come it maybe it does
come from the heart of men but it's really weird to me that every single
culture on the planet every single place on the face of the earth there's been
these same things with the same temples and the same altars what's God's altar
like God doesn't have an altar anymore because he sat you know the difference
between what they would believe in is they believe in we have to sacrifice a
bunch of people to gods who have insatiable appetites for blood you know
what our God believes in hey I sacrificed my son so that all the world
could be saved you see the difference there it's a lot different
Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 10 go ahead and turn over Deuteronomy chapter 28
Deuteronomy 18 verse 10 says there shall not be found among you anyone that
maketh his son or daughter to pass through the fire or that useth
divination or an observer of times or an enchanter or a witch okay this is one of
the things that would start the downhill the downward spiral of wickedness and a
people you make your sons and daughters you sacrifice your own sons and
daughters into a fire to a false god and the and what I was reading about in this
Aztec culture is that it wasn't just the poor people and slaves that they
captured and things like that it was their own children the ones of royalty
they would take their own children and give them as sacrifices to the gods just
like the children of Israel were doing also because what didn't Manasseh
sacrifice one of his children into the fire he sacrificed his children he did
witchcraft he made the high places he did human sacrifice and what happened
God could not pardon the iniquity and the blood that was spilt during his day
and the day of all the kings before him what did he do wipe Jerusalem why like
you'd wipe a plate clean even though Josiah staved it off for a little while
as soon as Josiah died that's when the beginning of the end came for the nation
of Israel you know what God did that twice to the nation of Israel and what
happened each time you know really the Jews they weren't sack they weren't
worshiping idols but they had the wrong salvation you know so God wiped them
away because why because they really their idols were the things that were in
their hearts and the things that they wanted to believe and they didn't want
to believe that Jesus was the Christ so really they were worshiping false gods
in reality they just weren't bowing down to stone statues and things like that
anymore so I had to turn to Deuteronomy chapter 28 look at verse 47 says because
I'll and look this is over and over a theme throughout Scripture God says hey
you do good you do right you keep my commandments I'm gonna take care of you
I'm gonna make the rain come when it's supposed to come I'm gonna bless your
store you're gonna bring forth the old store because the new store is there I'm
gonna bless you with lots of children you know and health and all and safety
and all this stuff and then you'll be able to chase 10,000 with with with two
people will chase 10,000 you know I'm gonna bless you tremendously but there's
always that there's always the cursings and in Leviticus chapter 26 are a lot
more than the blessings aren't they and he says three times in that chapter I'll
punish you seven times more for your sins you know when God's people do
things like this then it's worse well he's gonna punish us worse than he's
gonna punish them but ultimately they all get the same punishment where's
Canaan land now destroyed you know this Hawaii is Hawaii a kingdom anymore
destroyed you know but the United States came in they didn't kill everybody this
time and actually their life is a lot better than it was when they were under
the heathen kings that they were under Kamehameha was trying to unite Hawaii and
they act like he's some great person who community wound he was so great he
murdered and butchered thousands of his own of his own people to try to unite
the islands he stole the only reason why he did is because you know he got the
guns from Captain Cook's people he got guns from Englishmen that he captured
and then he was able to win the war because he had the bullets and the guns
and the cannons but was he a good he was a great person how's he a great person
when he killed he pushed thousands of Hawaiians off of a cliff and killed them
all like 10,000 people I think I mean I'm not sure about the numbers someone's
gonna go on there go you just stupid Pastor Thompson was 40,000 people I'm
just off the top the cuff it was thousands though but they want to say
that it was such a great culture guess what if you looked if you ate dinner
with your wife you'd be put to death in that culture I mean some of you're like
well you know I could see that how weird is that though you couldn't even eat
dinner with your own spouse you couldn't eat dinner with someone of the opposite
gender couldn't eat with dinner death penalty I mean do you think that's good
death penalty for looking at someone that would be a royalty if you looked at
someone that was royal dead and they ruled and if you didn't work hard then
they would kill you or they'd banish you off it off that out of the out of the
place there's no lazy Hawaiians back then they were all not on island time
they're on the king's time okay and there's a real bad laziness culture
there too because of the island culture hey just show up church anytime I feel
like it I I can't stand that that's hard for me to handle oh yeah you know we
just had to stop by and get some that's garbage show up for church on time
anyway so where was I at dinner army chapter 28 because thou serviced not the
Lord thy God with joyfulness and with the gladness of heart for the abundance
of all things therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send
against thee in hunger and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all things
and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck until they have destroyed thee
so God is not going to just let things slide with people when they're doing
these wicked things the Lord shall bring a nation against thee from afar from the
end of the earth as swift as the eagle flyeth a nation whose tongue shall thou
shall not understand a nation of fierce countenance which shall not regard the
person of the old nor show favor to the young this is God's way God just takes
another nation and smokes those people so and it says and thou shalt eat the
fruit of the cattle and the fruit of thy land until thou be destroyed or he shall
which also shall not leave thee either corn wine or oil or the increase of
thy kind or flocks of thy sheep until he have destroyed thee Jeremiah 9 19 verse
9 says and I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of
their daughters and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend in the
siege when God destroyed Jerusalem people were practicing cannibalism but
guess what they were practicing before that idolatry human sacrifice sacrificing
their children and God gave them a way out and they didn't take it so that's
just how God rolls Lamentations chapter 2 verse 20 says behold O Lord and
consider to whom thou hast done this shall the women eat their fruit and the
children of a span long shall the priests of the Prophet be slain in the
sanctuary of the Lord yeah that's what happened and so let's look at Psalm 106
verse 35 this is why it happens and look we have to be we have to be aware that
when we do these things you know obviously nobody in here is going to eat
human flesh okay I really hope you don't I know you won't we're not really in
danger of this part happening but we can create idols in our heart and we can
start to worship other things more than we worship God and maybe that's not a
deity of some heathen nation maybe it's just money you cannot serve God and
mammon you know you gotta hate one or love one and hate the other you can't
serve both things at the same time you can't you know I'm basically mammon is
like just material things money material things that type of stuff so I mean let's
see where am I at Psalm 106 verse 35 talking about the downward spiral of
Israel says but were mingled among the heathen verse 35 and learned their works
why did that happen because they did not drive the Canaanite completely out of
the land they left them in there they were tributaries unto them they were you
know just basically under the Israelites thumbs but what happened they were
mingled among the heathen and learned their works and served their idols which
were a snare unto them how did the downward spiral start with Israel they
learned the ways of the heathen and then they served their idols and they yay
they sacrificed their sons and daughters to Devils it's not just a hey mate you
know not a big deal no Israel was sacrificing their own children to
Devils why would God destroy them and wipe them off the face of the planet
because that is the most wicked thing I could possibly think of is to harm your
own children and put them in a fire to the devil verse 38 and shed innocent
blood and even the blood of their sons and of their daughters whom they
sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan and the land was polluted with blood and so
you wonder why God destroyed Israel it's not too hard to understand is it how did
it start mingling with the heathen and you know and that's how it can start in
our lives too how do we start a downward spiral in our Christianity
you're not gonna lose your salvation but God might destroy you he might destroy
your family he might destroy you for the things that you do in your life and you
know if it's sacrificing your own children to the altar of convenience
hey I'm just gonna put them in public school because you know I'm just too
lazy to homeschool hey I'm just gonna you know let them watch all the most
worldly television shows and just set them in front of that and that's all I'm
gonna teach them you wonder what's gonna if you sacrifice you can sacrifice your
children in other ways doesn't have to be on an altar to a demon called bail
it doesn't have to be to Molech they could just be to your convenience not
wanting to have to deal with them and so our downward spiral as a Christian
can can start with mingling with the heathen if you so oh my child I'm just
gonna give my child the choice to go to church well what do you think who do you
think they're gonna hang out with if they don't go to church they're gonna
hang out with heathens if you don't care enough to care about your children
you're sacrificing them you're sacrificing the next generation that
could have grown up and been a godly culture and your family and you just
sacrifice them to the altar of your own convenience it's wicked do you want your
children to grow up and serve God and and stay in church after they after they
grow up and leave your home well you got to be realistic and you can't just
sacrifice your children on that altar of convenience now there's women that do
go and have abortions because they're just not ready to have a child yet well
you should keep your good pants zipped up then don't be a whore don't be a
whoremonger if you're not ready to have kids then don't do the things that make
kids come about right so look what God says though in verse 39 says thus were
they defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions
therefore the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people and so much that he
abhorred his own inheritance was that word of poor means it means to hate he
began to hate his own inheritance and he gave them into the hand of the heathen
and they hated them and they that hated them ruled over them their enemies also
oppressed him and were brought into subjection under their hand many times
did he deliver them but they provoked him with their counsel and they were
brought low for their iniquity see God destroyed the nation of Israel because
of the thing that when they got so when you get so far gone then God's like okay
I'm pulling the plug on this when you get so far gone that you're eating your
own children you're you're too far gone when you get so far gone that you're
sacrificing your children literally to the devil on a real altar with real fire
your society is done your society is done no matter whether you're the nation
of Israel or the nation of Babylon or the nation of Babylon USA or whatever
your whatever country you're part of the Native Americans that were here before
and they're still here and we get them saved and I know in Arizona they have a
big program down there where they're getting multitude saved but they're shut
down right now because of the coronavirus but somehow we were able to
get into Yakima and and and we got some native save amen but how many times did
you knock on a door and they're like oh I'm native and so they're like they're
just basically saying I'm gonna believe in the old ways and those are the ways
that got them destroyed in the first place but they you know they need a
Savior they need to know that Jesus loves them and died for them turn to the
second Kings chapter 6 verse 24 second Kings chapter 6 verse 24
the story where the king just refused to listen to the preachers of God because
you people can refuse to listen and what's gonna happen God's gonna destroy
them okay second Kings chapter 6 verse 24 says and it came to pass after this
that Ben the hey dad king of Syria gathered all the hosts and went up and
besieged Samaria there was a great famine in Samaria and behold they
besieged it until an ass's head was sold for four score pieces of silver so they
had so little food that they were cutting off a donkey's head and selling
it for what 80 pieces of silver that's pretty expensive head there and the
fourth part of a cab of doves dung for five pieces of silver a fourth part of a
bird dropping from a dove five pieces of silver here you go yes and dove dung
isn't like the biggest dung on the on the face of the planet it's just like a
little drop you know so if it's a fourth part of that and people that's how bad
people were starving and as the king of Israel is passing upon the wall there
cried a woman unto him saying help my lord o king and he said if the Lord do
not help thee when shall I help thee out of the barn floor or out of the wine
press and the king said unto her what a lethe and she answered this woman said
unto me give thy son that we may eat him today and we will eat my son tomorrow so
we boiled my son and did eat him and I said unto her on the next day give thy
son that we may eat him and she hath hid her son this is the problem that she's
coming to the king with hey she hid her son we ate my son the other night this
is how far down society that the nation of Israel was at this time so came to
pass when the king heard the words of the woman that he rent his clothes and
passed upon the wall and the people looked and behold he had sackcloth
within upon his flesh then he said God do so and more also to me if the head of
Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day so typical that people want
to blame somebody else for the actions that they brought forth was it Elisha's
fault that this was happening and he had to hear this horrific story it's a
horrific story but he's blaming the wrong person he's blaming the person
that was trying to help them and tried to preach the word to them and try to
get them out of this mess and instead he's wanting to kill the man of God
that's bringing forth the message Ezekiel 5 10 says therefore the father
shall eat their sons in the midst of thee and the son shall eat their fathers
and I will execute judgments in thee and the whole remnant of thee while I
scatter into all the winds so over and over again the Bible prophesies about
you know getting so far down the path that you would sacrifice and eat your
own children so I got to skip through all this because I got to get done here
so basically what do we know about past empires in the Bible what do we know
about them well they all fell and the ones that used to be powerhouses that
haven't completely fallen they're not powers anymore they're done God's done
with them God's done and they're done being a great society it said that the
walls of Babylon were had hanging guard it was like called the hey it was like
one of the seven wonders of the world the city of Babylon and had all these
hanging gardens and it was supposed to be like a sight to behold what do you
see when you see it now a couple dinosaurs on the wall pretty much it
it's desolate it's destroyed how's the Greek Empire doing right now last I know
that they were fighting and robbing people for money and they're basically
broke how's the bead and Persian Empire doing well the Persia Persia is where
Iran is they're they're taken over by the ayatollahs and all those guys Rome
was destroyed it itself from within and we have a lot revived Roman Empire that
we're living in today and I'm gonna just turn to Jeremiah chapter 51 real quick
and then that'll be the last place I have you turn Jeremiah 51 God
pronounces evil on our nation too and he so so if you read the book of Jeremiah
the last three or four chapters towards the end of the book it explains how
Babylon can be destroyed part of those are talking about the original Babylon
and then part of them are talking about this Babylon the one we live in today
Jeremiah 51 verse 60 says so Jeremiah wrote in a book all that the of all the
evil that shall come upon Babylon even all the words that are written against
Babylon and Jeremiah said to Sariah when thou comest to Babylon shall see and
shall read all these words then shalt thou say o Lord thou has spoken against
the place to cut it off and none shall remain in it neither shall man or beast
but that it shall be desolate forever and it shall be when I was made an end
of reading this book that thou shall bind a stone to it and cast in the midst
of the Euphrates and now shall say thus Babylon shall Babylon sink and shall not
rise from the evil that I will bring upon her and they shall be weary thus
far are the words of Jeremiah all the the empires arose to prominence and
ended up being caught into idolatry have fallen and it's not going to be any
different here we got statues here you know we got abortions happening here
people are sacrificing their children to Moloch here too you know but maybe
there's not a big temple where people you know take the beating hearts out of
people and things like that going on but the we have a lot of the same
things a lot of the same things going on in God's not gonna let our society last
either and the Bible says that the Babylon is going to be the final and
the one world government will be the final government before the Lord Jesus
Christ comes and makes it all right and so you know what what can you apply to
this sermon what can we apply it that you know when we mingle with the heathen
and learn their ways we can get caught up into the same things we can destroy
our own family we can destroy our own lives we can destroy our own church
family and we need to not learn the ways of the heathen we need to be separated
and come apart from them and be separate saith Lord flee idolatry God can destroy
anybody for being an idolatry he's not a respecter of persons if his own he did
it to his own people in the Old Testament apply that to the New
Testament he can do the same thing where's the Church of Ephesus at now is
it still alive it's still a soul winning powerhouse for the gospel how about the
church at Ephesus you know the Church of Ephesus is gone God said he would
wipe it off the face of the planet just like you know churches degrade just like
society degrades when churches go bad then God destroys them too he takes the
candlestick away from them so we don't want to be caught up in idolatry either
where we start serving and worshiping other things and hold things more high
regard than God don't sacrifice your children to the devil by mingling them
with the heathen you think that they're gonna they're gonna influence those
friends that they have no the their friends are gonna influence them that's
how that works and remember to love each other don't cannibalize your brothers
and sisters in Christ there's a spiritual application for you and here's
a verse for you a proof verse but if you bite and devour one another take heed
that you not be consumed one of another so let's talk about spiritual cannibalism
I guess right this I say then walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the
lust of the flesh that's the key to everything that's the key to our good
life on this earth and that's the key to our good life in this church walk in the
spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh for the lust for the flesh lusteth
against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh there's a battle going
on every day in our lives every single day you got to get up and get your
gloves on and get ready to box spiritually okay and it says that these
are contrary one to the other so that you cannot do the things that you would
so don't get caught up and the things of this world hey we don't want to be
spiritual cannibals to each other and we don't want to sacrifice our children and
alter of convenience there's some spiritual applications we can get out
this sermon I know it was a little ugly at moments okay I'm sorry about that but
I think it's important to preach the whole counsel of God and look
cannibalism is in the Bible that's not a pretty picture but just shows you the
downgrade of a society let's pray Lord we thank you so much for the Word of God
and Lord sometimes it's it's ugly to hear and the things that people have
done around the world it's it's ugly to hear those things but Lord I pray that
we'd be a church that shines our light in the darkness and Lord even in the
northwest where it's dark spiritually I pray you'd help us to continue to shine
a light and be a light to all the people around us and Lord that we've grown out
in all the world and be a light there also and help these people that that
still want to cling to being a native or being some kind of Aboriginal person to
the land and and thinking that their culture came from something good Lord I
pray you'd help us to break down these walls these lies in history and help us
to bring forth the glorious gospel in Jesus name we pray amen
