I pray that you would please just speak to our hearts and speak through me tonight as I preach your word. And please just fill me with the Holy Spirit. Help me and everyone else that's here to put aside all the other things that might be on our mind at this time. And all the cares of this life, our job, our house, our affairs. Dear God, please just help us to stay focused on your word. And I pray that you'd speak to us and ingrain these great truths of your word into us tonight. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Now let me go through this psalm and then I'm going to get into the sermon. But in verse number 1 it reads, Do you speak righteousness, O congregation? Do you judge uprightly, O ye sons of man? So basically God here is questioning the rightness of what's being preached in church. Because the Old Testament never uses the word church all the way throughout the Old Testament. And yet there was a church in the Old Testament. Because in the New Testament when God speaks about events in the Old Testament he uses the word church. Like when he talks about Moses being with the church in the wilderness. In the Old Testament it's referred to as the congregation. And so he says, Do you indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? Do you judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness, ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent. They are like the death adder that stop at their ear, and look at verse 5, which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. Now let me stop there and explain this parallel to God's. God's basically talking about wicked, evil, violent people. And they are people who will not listen to God's word. Now he's using the illustration of a snake. Now there really is such thing as a snake charmer. Okay, I know because I read it in the Bible. And there also are in this world snake charmers. And a snake charmer, and you know they are usually found in India and so forth. But they will play a flute or sing a song or do something. And they can actually manipulate a serpent and make it do what they want it to do. Who knows what I'm talking about? Put it up your hand if you have a clue what I'm talking about. Like you know they'll be in the basket and they'll play the flute and they'll stick their head up and do all this kind of stuff. Now I'm not an expert on it, but here I'm reading about it in the Bible. And he's basically describing them as like a serpent who will not listen to any kind of instruction and basically God's word preaching to them. They've become dull of hearing death to any kind of a rebuke, anything that's right, any of God's word. Now we're going to come back to Psalm 58. But I want you to turn back if you would to Psalm 11. Okay, because I've got to lay the foundation for the message here. Look at Psalm 11 and we're going to do a lot in the book of Psalms tonight. But you see a lot of people have a preconceived idea of what they believe. And when they read the Bible they want the Bible to fit what they believe. Instead of going to the Bible and saying, you know what, tell me what to believe God. You know, I remember it was a good day when I came to the conclusion I said, you know, I need to put away every preconceived idea and just read the Bible and see what it says and that's what I'm going to believe. I don't care what the preacher says, I don't care what I was taught growing up. Look, the Bible has got to be our authority. And so the Bible is not a book that we find a verse proving what we believe. No, we need to read the Bible to find out what we ought to believe. Now a lot of people have trouble coming to terms with some of the Bible's teachings. Some of the Bible's more negative teachings. They don't want to hear it, they don't want to believe it, they don't want to think about it, they don't want to go to a church that preaches it. But yet there it is in black and white and it's God's word. And we ought to just believe it and let it frame our mind and not sit there and say, well, you know, I don't agree with that. I just think God loves everybody. You know, who's heard that before? I just believe that God loves everybody. Well, let's see if that's really true tonight. Okay, look at the Bible, look at Psalm 11. It says in Psalm 11 verse 4, The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord's throne is in heaven, His eyes behold, His eyes try that shouldn't have been, The Lord trieth the righteous, But the wicked and Him that loveth violence, His soul hateth. Now look, God does not love everybody. Now you can say that all you want, you can hear that preached all you want. People can get up and say it till they're blue in the face, it doesn't make it true. God does not love everybody. In fact, there are even some people whom God hates. And let me tell you the kind of people that God hates. People who are violent and people who love violence and people who are bloody and deceitful men. Look at just the next, let's see, flip back to Psalm 5 actually, just go back a few pages. Now I used to believe that God loved everybody because that's what I heard so many times. And you know, God did love everybody at one time or another. Every baby that's born, Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world is really a true song. Because you know, when a baby is born in this world, God gives them life, God created them, God loves them. But people can push it with God too far. Or they can get to the point where God doesn't love them anymore. I'll show you that in the Bible tonight and among other things I'm going to preach. But look at Psalm 5 verse 5. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight, thou hatest all workers of iniquity, thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing. The Lord will abhor, abhor means to hate, the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Now I remember when I was a teenager, a young girl asked me a question. And I believe I was 15 years old and she said to me, does God love everybody? And I said, yes he does. And she said, then explain this verse. And she showed me in Malachi chapter 1 where it said, Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated. And she said, right there it says that he loved the one and hated the other. And you know what I did? I said, I can't believe you say that. I can't believe you're speaking hate to me. No, I said, you know what? I'm wrong. You're right. That's what I said. I said, you know what? You're right. God doesn't love everybody because here it is in front of me, black and white. And literally I can show you and I'm not going to go through all of them. But one time I made a list of all the verses where God said he hates people. It's like 30 verses where God talks about hating people. And yet people just don't want to accept it. They just want to believe that God loves everybody. But he doesn't. In fact, God is very hateful toward those. Now stop and think about this. What is violence? Now, violence may not be what you think it is because violence comes from the word violate. And violence, look at Luke chapter 3. I'll just show you just to make sure that you see what violence is, according to the Bible. Because, you know, we think of boxing match is violent and that, you know, that's not violence according to the Bible. But look at Luke chapter 3 and look at verse 14. This is John the Baptist preaching. And some soldiers come to him and they ask him, you know, what they should change about their lifestyle, you know, in order to live for God. And the soldiers likewise demanded of him saying, and what shall we do? And he said unto them, do violence to no man. Neither accuse any falsely and be content with your wages. Now is he telling the soldiers not to fight? No, because he's telling them be content with your wages. I don't think he's telling them take a wage but then don't do the job. Okay, that's not right. But he's telling them take your wages but don't do any violence. Okay, violence is harming innocent people is what it is. Because violence is when you're violating someone. It's not just, oh, you know, we got in a fight or I was defending my property. You know, if somebody breaks into your house and you kill them, that's not violence. Executing a murderer is not violence. Going on the battlefield and defending your country is not violence. Okay, you are doing your duty. But violence is when you harm someone innocent. Violence is to murder an innocent person. Violence would be to harm a child or, you know, to destroy women and children, you know, when you're supposed to be fighting, you know, on the battlefield against soldiers. Violence is abortion, for example. That's violence, my friend. The most violent person is that abortion doctor who's killing that innocent life. And so we, you know, we may know, oh, that's medicine. No, it's violence, according to the Bible. It's harming an innocent person. And let me tell you something. God hates those who are violent. God hates the serial killer tonight. God hates the rapist tonight. God hates the child molester tonight. God hates these people who go out and maliciously love violence. I mean, not even just they committed a violent act. No, they love violence. God says, if you love violence, I hate you. Now look back at Psalm 58 with that in mind. Now again, you're saying, well, man, I can't believe what you're preaching. I'm just reading Bible verses and just expounding to you. I mean, I'm not really adding anything to this. I mean, I'm just reading what it says. You see, people can get to a point. And I want to read you another verse that just came into my mind in the book of Hosea, just to make sure that you understand this. But in Hosea chapter 7, let me turn there quickly. You know what? That's not where it is. Who knows the verse I'm looking for? Here's a little Bible quiz. In the book of Hosea where he says, I'll love them no more. Isn't that in chapter 7? I thought it was. Does anybody know the Bible? Okay, here it is. No, I'm just kidding. Chapter 9, verse 14. Hosea chapter 9, verse 14. Give them, O Lord, what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. This is God speaking. He says, for the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of mine house. I will love them no more. All their princes are revolting. You see, wait a minute. I think maybe when God hates people, he still loves them too. I've actually had somebody say that to me. I tried to show somebody. Look, there are people who go too far and they're too wicked and God hates them. And they say, well, I think God still loves them even though he hates them. Now, first of all, that's crazy. It doesn't even make any sense because hate and love are two obvious things. But then here it says right here, he says it both ways. He says, for there I hated them. For the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more. Now, I will love them no more. Does that mean he used to love them? Yes. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. After God gave his son and if people reject his son and spit upon his son and then they get more wicked and more wicked and more wicked and say no to God, no to God, and they shut out and they want to plug their ears like that serpent that will not be charmed and say, I will not listen to God's word, then eventually he will love them no more. And that's where he gets to the point where he hates them. Now, this is clear in the Bible. I mean, you can't escape it. It's there. Let's go back to Psalm 58 with that in mind. Now, tonight I want to preach this sermon. And, you know, you've probably never heard a sermon like this before. Actually, you probably have if you've been coming to church here for a while. But you know what? Here's my sermon. Why I hate Barack Obama. That's my sermon tonight. Because, you know, Barack Obama's coming to town tomorrow morning. Barack Obama is coming to town and he's going to be here tomorrow morning. Who knew that he was coming to town? I didn't know. I just found out recently. You know, with his health care and everything like this. And I'm going to tell you something. I hate Barack Obama. You say, well, you just mean you don't like what he stands for. No, I hate the person. No, you mean you just don't like his policy. No, I hate him. Now, I'm going to prove this from the Bible tonight. Why I should hate Barack Obama. Why God wants me to hate Barack Obama. Why God hates Barack Obama. Now, some people may not like this sermon. But I've never yet preached a sermon with the goal that I hope people will like this sermon. And I'm not going to start tonight. Because it's not about what people like. It's not even about what I like. It's not about what you like. It's about what the Bible says. You say, well, you're not loving. Then why did I go out today in Phoenix, Arizona in the heat and go preach the gospel and get somebody saved? If I'm not loving. And if I don't love you, then why am I preaching you the truth in love? Why am I telling you, the person who loves you is the one who tells you the truth. Not the one who lies to you and says everything's great, everything's fine. Good God, good sin, cold hell. You know, that person doesn't love you. The person who loves you is the one who tells you the truth. Now, look at Psalm 58. Now, tell me if anything we read tonight contradicts my thesis here. God hates Barack Obama. I hate Barack Obama. Okay, look at verse 6. This is David praying to God in the book of Psalms. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord. Let them melt away as waters which run continually when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows. Let them be as cut in pieces. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away. Like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with the whirlwind, both living and in his wrath. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, verily there is a reward for the righteous. Verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. Look at that. This is David praying against people. Cursing them as he prays. Praying that God will break their teeth out of their head. Isn't that what it said in verse 6? Praying that they will melt like a snail. Now you say, what is that about? Who has ever salted a slug? Come on, don't be shy. You know when you're a kid, there's a little, let's say there's a rainstorm. I grew up in Sacramento, California. There was a rainstorm. As soon as it gets sunny again, what happens? There's all these little snails and slugs that are going along the concrete. And you know, when you're a child, you know I would never do this anymore. I love all of God's creation. But when I was a child, you'd say, quick, go get the salt. And you'd run in the house, and you'd run in, and you'd rummaging through the cover. And you get that Morton salt shaker. And you go out to the snail, and you salt the snail. And what happens? It begins to melt. It melts awake, because I don't know why I can't explain the science behind it. But for some reason, when you salt a snail, or salt a slug. You know, a slug is nothing but a snail with no shell. Right? In German, actually the word for slug is naked snail. Okay, you know, because it doesn't have a shell. And so it's basically the same creature. And so, you know, you salt it, it melts away. David is praying in verse 8. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away. Like the untimely birth of a woman. That's talking about a miscarriage. That they may not see the sun. He's basically saying, let them die like a miscarriage. Let them melt like a snail. Now, here's what's interesting. Turn to Psalm 109. Psalm 109. Let me show you why David is praying that they would melt like a snail. Psalm 109. You know, the sermon's a lot of Bible tonight. I don't really even have to do much preaching tonight. Because this sermon kind of preaches itself. You know, as we go down through the scriptures. Look at Psalm 109, verse 1. Hold not thy peace, O God, of my praise. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me. They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compass me about also with words of hatred and fought against me without a cause. For my love, they are my adversaries, but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned and let his prayer become sin. This is David speaking against the evil doer, cursing him in his prayer. Let his days be few and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds and big. Let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath and let the strangers spoil his labor. You say, you're not loving. Are you talking to me or are you talking to God? I'm just reading God's word. See, David was the sweet, this is what the Bible calls David. The sweet psalmist of Israel. What a sweetheart. Listen to him. That's what the Bible, I didn't call it, the Bible calls him the sweet psalmist of Israel. Look it up. Let his posterity be cut off, verse 13, and in their generation following let their name be blotted out. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. I mean, he's basically saying, you're mama. You know, he's saying, hey, let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. He's saying, because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. But watch this, this is the part I really wanted to show you, though, in verse 17. This has to do with the snail melting. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him. As he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water and like oil into his bones. Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord and of them that speak evil against my soul. Now, what's he saying in verses 17 and 18? What goes around comes around. You love violence, you hate that which is right, you love cursing, then it's going to come to you. You love violence, you love to harm others, you love to hurt or kill the unborn or the innocent or the righteous. He's saying God is going to bring that upon your own head because whatsoever a man showeth, that shall he also reap. Now turn back to Psalm 58 and let me ask you this question. Why should Barack Obama melt like a snail? Why should Barack Obama die like the untimely birth of a woman? Why should his children be fatherless and his wife a widow as we read in this passage? Well, I'll tell you why. Because since Barack Obama thinks it's okay to use a salty solution, right? To abort the unborn because that's how abortions are done, my friend, using salt. Saline solution. There are many ways to do an abortion. One of the most commonly used ways in America today is this injection of a saline solution and the embryo melts like a snail. And I'd like to see Barack Obama melt like a snail tonight because he needs to recompense what he has shown. He has spent a life of being pro-abortion. He has voted on legislation to not only kill the unborn but to kill the newborn. I mean, when he was in Chicago in the state senate, everyone else voted that if a boxed abortion actually lives and survives, that they would care for that child and give it medical treatment and care to keep it alive. And yet Barack Obama said, nope, let it die about a newborn baby. And yet I'm told by the preachers of 2009, love Barack Obama. Unbelievable. I'm told, love him. Pray for him. And we're going to get to that a little bit later in the message. Respect him. Obey him. I mean, I guess they want me to put a bumper sticker on the back of my car that says, obey Obama. That's my new slogan. That's my motto. Obey him, love him, respect him, pray for him. God ordained him. God appointed him. Yet God appointed him to destroy this country for the wickedness of the United States of America. God appointed him because that's where our country has turned into. That's who we deserve as a president. But let me tell you something. I don't love Barack Obama. I don't respect Barack Obama. I don't obey Barack Obama and I'd like to see Barack Obama melt like a snail tonight. Because he needs to recompense, he needs to reap what he sown. You see, any Christian will tell you that someone who commits murder should get the death penalty. Because that's what it says in Genesis chapter 9. That's what it says in the Mosaic law. That's what it teaches throughout the Bible. Whoso shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed. From the image of God created he man. And when Barack Obama is going to push his partial birth abortion, his salty, saline solution abortion. Hey, he deserves to be punished for what he's done. And I'm not going to pray for God to bless Barack Obama. This is my prayer tonight to Barack Obama. You see, your prayer is never more right than when you pray God's word. Now I don't know if you've ever done this, but many times I like to pray God's word. Like, you know, I have several psalms memorized. And a lot of times when I memorize the psalms, I like to pick psalms that are prayers that I would like to pray. Now I haven't memorized this one yet, but I've memorized a lot of other psalms. I've memorized Psalm 120, one of my favorite psalms. Psalm 121, Psalm 141. These are psalms that I like to pray to God. And I basically pray God's word to God. And I'm praying in God's own words. Now obviously I pray in my own words, predominantly. But I also like to take some of these prayers and make them my prayer. Now look, if somebody wants me, if somebody's going to twist my arm behind my back and tell me to pray for Barack Obama, this is what I'm going to pray. Because this is the only prayer that applies to him. Break his teeth, oh God, in his mouth. You know, as a snail which melted, let him pass away. Like the untimely birth of a woman that he thinks, he calls it a woman's right to choose. Well, he thinks it's so wonderful, he ought to be aborted. It ought to be abort Obama. It ought to be the bottom. But look at this, look at chapter 59. Now don't get uncomfortable, I'm just preaching God's word. Let me introduce you, since this is the Bible, okay? Christian Bible, Bible Christian. Now that you've become acquainted a little bit, now you know who you're dealing with. Look at chapter 59 verse 2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloody men. Look, people who are bloody and violent are evil people. I mean, do you love Adolf Hitler? Do you love Joseph Stalin? Do you love Mao Tse Tung? Do you love these evil, sadistic butchers of history? Now, if you were to meet Jeffrey Dahmer in real life, if you were to meet John Wayne Gacy, or if Adolf Hitler could come back from the dead and be in church, I'm sure you'd go shake his hand and tell him it's good to have you. No, the Bible said in Hosea 9.14, throw them out of the congregation of the Lord. I will love them no more. Violent, bloody, wicked people. He's saying, get them away from me. Look at verse 5. Now, therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen. Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. This is David praying to God. And so this is not something I made up. This is God's word. Look, if you would, at Psalm 139 verse 19. Psalm 139 verse 19. You say, why are you preaching this? You know what? Because it makes me mad. I'm mad. I don't know about you, but I'm fed up tonight. I'm angry tonight. Because I'm angered by a bunch of preachers who want to sit back and let America go to hell, let our freedoms go to hell, let the souls of America go to hell, and we all just sit back and just, we're comfortable, we're lazy, we're lukewarm, we're neither cold nor hot, and we want to come to church and have our ears tickled. Hey, this isn't to tickle your ears. It's to give you a swift kick in the pants tonight. Because that's what you need every once in a while. You need to come to church and get a boot in your rear end. And that's what this sermon is. Because we don't need to constantly just have this, oh, it's great, it's wonderful. You know, I love to preach encouraging sermons, and there's nothing more encouraging than the Bible. But I'm here to tell you tonight that God is a God of wrath and vengeance. And that's the message that ought to be thundering from every pulpit in America today. People ought to be trembling today. People in America ought to be scared to death and trembling and saying, oh, God, what are you going to do to our country? Oh, God, are we going to be able to survive? Oh, God, are you going to give us freedom or are you going to allow us to go into the depths of socialism and communism with Barack Obama? But instead, we just sit back, we're comfortable. Oh, yeah, this year will probably be like last year and much more abundant. Oh, yeah, you know, we'll be fine. 2010 is going to be great. It's not going to be fine. Things are happening so fast in our country, and it's up to the man of God to warn you about it, to tell you about it, to point it out to you and not just, you know, oh, you know, everything's great. God's in control. If you think God's in control of this country, you're insane. A madman is in control of this country. Wicked, evil people who are motivated by the love of money are the ones who are controlling our country. It's that God that's in control. I know your hyper-Calvinist tulip preacher told you that God's in control, but you know what? The devil is the God of this world, according to my Bible. The devil's the God of this world, and the devil is putting spiritual wickedness in high places, the Bible says. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and let me name one for you, Barack Obama is one of the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Hey, we are supposed to wrestle against it, not say, oh, he's my president. He's not my president. I'm going to wrestle against it. I'm going to wrestle against the spiritual wickedness in high places. Now, I'm not going to physically take up arms because we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but I'm going to tell you something. It's a spiritual battle tonight for the minds of Americans and Christians. We ought to take God's word, the sword of God's word, and preach the truth, and to do battle with the forces of evil in this country. Oh, maybe he's saved. He's a Pentecostal. He's a holy roller charismatic. Didn't you see his pastor wearing a dress and everything? You know, his pastor's got the dress and the gold. Woo! That's where he goes to church. He doesn't believe the Bible. He mocks the Bible. I heard him make fun of the Bible. He said, you know, creation, you know, Adam. What was it he was mocking the Bible? Does somebody know more about this than I do? I don't know. Didn't he get up and say something like, what was that thing? It was on the tip of my tongue. Somebody help me out with this. Something about Deuteronomy. Something about Deuteronomy or, you know. Oh yeah, this is the way he said, you actually expect me to put the Sermon on the Mount into practice? You know what I mean? He mocked, he ridiculed the Sermon on the Mount. Okay, I remember that part. And he said, you know, I don't know. He said something about, oh yeah, you guys just want to cling to your guns and your Bibles. Wasn't that one of his famous...
