Matthew 7:15-29 I went outside to look at the plants I planted and I discovered that I had bell peppers and water melons and chilli Peppers growing I have figs growing and my daughter said daddy we’d better pick those figs before to rot on the tree. She picked a big bowl full. And the point is if you sow good seeds good is going to come back to you. If you sow bad seeds the bible says in Matthew 7:15 you will be exposed Let’s read Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Who ever comes outside of the will of God I don’t care how much I like them or not. God can not bless that. I hope I’m not making you mad because I’m not trying to. I just have to point out and extract out of the text and pull out of the text what Jesus is saying to us today. The exegesis is that if it’s not like a lamb which can’t hurt or harm you then it’s like a ravening wolf. And wolves by nature are vicious even untamable. I was watching the movie with Jay Lo starring as the Mother. and her little daughter that she was trying to protect was playing with some baby wolves and the little wolves bit a whole in her. You can’t tame a wolf nature. And so Jesus has to change that nature in us or we’ll be viscous when we come into God”d House. The word says that We ought to beware of False prophets. If I say look I want to change the name of the church to R.E.ALLEN MINISTRIES then you know that I have lost my natural born mind. That’s a False Prophet. If I want a church called REALLEN MINISTRIES I’ll open one but I’m not going to come into a well established Religious organism and try to make it fit to what I say rather than what God made it to be!!! If my doctrine stops this house from being the Pilgrim BC in Paincourtville that False prophecy. Because changes like that are oftentimes radical and rambunctious and the people are being bamboozled.

And how can you tell. The NBC Class that I took said too many Baptist churches have thrown the pulpit out,put the choir out, Got a big Black curtain from end to end Movie theater lights and the pews are dark like we are at a concert in the club. That the look like sounds like and is emulating like the world. And verse 16 says

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? If it’s in the root it will be in the fruit.I study the word of God all the time. I am compelled to teach and preach a more augmentative style because this type of methodology of questioning the word of God aggressively with an interrogative focus helps me present a decent and accurate and appropriate exegesis of the scripture. It took me a minute to get that sentence right. And all that thesis statement means is that when I make my children read a line or two of what I’m studying it goes in their spirit man. And in the course of life’s travels to come and tell me daddy I was talking to a man or a woman and I was sharing the word of God with them and i said this or that Was I right in my interpretation? Steph Curry the great three point shooter practiced and practiced when he was young and he still practices right now today to get that shot right. His father del curry was a great NBA player. The fruit don’t fall too far from the tree.

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. I was talking with Roy a great deacon from Shiloh and I was talking about my boys and my girls and I was complaining about some of their ways. And he said Rev them children came out good. I said but I have a bad side to me that if they inherited more of that side they’ll bring forth evil fruit. And parents you can raise them in righteousness and sometimes they choose wrongness. It just happens sometimes. And sometimes we too know better and we go in the wrong direction. Lord have mercy.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. He made a mistake but he’s not a mistake dipstick no count good for nothing. Don’t write them off. Because what if somebody would have wrote you off, when you were deep in your wrongness. That’s why the scripture says train up a child in the way that he should go and he gets old he shall not depart. They may try to do everything the world does but God will bring them right back to where they ought to be.

And then if you never bring them to church and you say boy you better do right.. but they’ve never been taught what’s right they’ll do wrong every time. And when you hear somebody say II don’t need no bible to tell me how to act I know how to act… Just wait all hell is about to break loose. And Jesus says in verses 19 &20 that

We have to be doers of the word and not hearers only.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. It’s easy to say I love the Lord 2x but it’s harder to do what He says in His word. I’d rather be right with God and wrong with everybody else than to be politically correct with everybody else and bust hell wide open. Now when you look at the text it becomes a salvation issue. Jesus is saying you’re not going to get to go to heaven any old how but specifically and particularly you have to be willing to abide by adhere to and obey the will of the Father.

And when you’re young the Lord will let you get away with stupid stuff because He knows your brain and/or your heart has not matured enough to grasp the full concept of Eternal salvation or eternal damnation.

Look at verse 22 with its false dreams and phony baloney religion without a relationship 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? This calling into ministry has to be real. You have to mean this in the core of your existence.And nobody from the outside will really be able to tell what’s going on with you on the inside. It’s got preacher who are walking away from preaching pastoring and ministering to God’s people. At the NBC the professor said Preachers are committing suicide at alarming rates because they can’ take the pressure. And all I can say about that is If the Lord don’t help me…No matter what ministry you have great or small you’ve got to be connected to the Power source. I don’t want tp go before God with strange fire. Moses gave them a command to use the incense like the Levetical law said and Aaron grand sons did what they want to. And you know why that happen? They started taking the order of service for granted. They started saying ah God ain’t watching us this 1000th time. But God is always watching the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. And God knows when we are sincere are just going through the motions. God says give 100% every time. Because in actuality you don’t know if that’s going to be our last time or not.

I said wait Lord Hold up a minute please? Lord you mean to tell me that the thief on the cross who was rotten to the core and at the last moment of life straightened out and you took him to heaven but I can’t go? As an advocate for preacher and leaders I said what the folk in verse 22 said. And right down in my spirit man I heard the Lord say To whom much is given much shall be required. We are held to a higher standard even though we’re capable of falling failing and fuzzling out just like anybody else. When I was teaching school I had to stay after school with countless band practices. Stay at the school well into the night after the football games until parents come and pick up their children. Play for every function parade or fundraiser etc.. But when my check came and I recieved that extra stipend for being a Band director it was worth it. God gives the leaders in the church extra yeah double for your trouble.

The conquesting twist these doctrinal statements that Jesus has made in this Matthew 7 text is in verse 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Jesus says after hearing Me Teach and Preach this massive text it all boils down to whether you’re listening or not. Let’s read verse 24 again “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 1. If you listen to what Jesus says you’ll be considered wise. 2. If you build your foundational structure upon a the rock of Christ the bible says you have plenty sense.

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. The commentator said that some builders maintain that a person can actually dig a foundation in the sand on the beach and build a solid house. But hhe said I don’t advise it because when the real storm comes the and is going to give away and adapt to the current conditions. Jesus is probably talking about a house that has not planned for its future wisely. The unstable house represents a life and faith that’s built on your own perceptions your own assumptions, your own reasoning, your own denial, your own philosophy, your own psychology, your own socialization in society and built on your own life and not on Christ. The bible says in proverbs that there is a way that seems right to a man but the ways are unto death. Church I know I can’t do it on my own volition because my flesh is not going to choose what my spirit knows to be righteousness.

I have fallen on my face hard before because of my disobedience and I’m not as young as I use to be so I don’t feel like I’m the come back kid anymore. You can do wrong so many time until one of those time you just don’t bounce back..

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. And this says to me that Allen if you want God’s church to grow and get matured you got to teach what Jesus taught. Don’t grow no brain and teach what you want to teach but teach the word I command you to teach. Amen.
