Hello, friends, and welcome back
00:00:38.80\00:00:40.54
to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:40.57\00:00:42.07
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:42.10\00:00:43.44
I want to thank you
for joining us this hour.
00:00:43.47\00:00:46.04
Today's message is
entitled The Crisis Ahead
00:00:46.07\00:00:49.04
with Pastor Kenny Shelton.
00:00:49.08\00:00:50.71
The Bible speaks of a final war
between Christ and His angels,
00:00:50.75\00:00:54.78
and the devil and his angels.
00:00:54.82\00:00:56.79
It takes a measure of faith
in the Word of God to believe
00:00:56.82\00:01:00.72
that the
prophecies of this final war
00:01:00.76\00:01:03.53
along with the
many devastating events
00:01:03.56\00:01:06.43
leading up to it
will indeed take place.
00:01:06.46\00:01:10.13
This world has fallen
under the condemnation
00:01:10.17\00:01:12.73
of the moral Ten
Commandment law of God.
00:01:12.77\00:01:15.00
We are all law breakers.
00:01:15.04\00:01:17.31
And God is very clear that
00:01:17.34\00:01:18.87
there are penalties
for being a law breaker.
00:01:18.91\00:01:22.38
Christ came, He came to save us
00:01:22.41\00:01:25.01
from our sins of
breaking God's law,
00:01:25.05\00:01:28.05
not in our sins of
continuing to break His law.
00:01:28.08\00:01:32.79
And to bring these
sinful acts to an end,
00:01:32.82\00:01:35.66
a final war of
conclusion must take place.
00:01:35.69\00:01:39.33
Much of this war will be
fought in a spiritual sense
00:01:39.36\00:01:42.93
as we face the events
of the mark of the beast
00:01:42.96\00:01:45.90
and the
inability to buy or sell,
00:01:45.93\00:01:48.30
save ye that have the mark.
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.07
You can read more about this
in Revelation in Chapter 13.
00:01:50.11\00:01:54.81
But first, let's prepare
our hearts for this study
00:01:54.84\00:01:58.28
by visiting 3ABN
00:01:58.31\00:02:00.12
and listening to a song entitled
00:02:00.15\00:02:02.38
How Deep the
Father's Love for Us.
00:02:02.42\00:02:04.85
That's good news
with Sandra Entermann,
00:02:04.89\00:02:07.59
and a couple of
her musical friends.
00:02:07.62\00:02:09.62
How deep the
Father's love for us
00:02:26.04\00:02:32.25
How vast beyond all measure
00:02:32.28\00:02:38.55
That He should give His only Son
00:02:38.59\00:02:44.69
To make a wretch His treasure
00:02:44.73\00:02:51.17
How great the
pain of searing loss
00:02:51.20\00:02:57.21
The Father turns His face away
00:02:57.24\00:03:03.75
As wounds which
mar the Chosen One
00:03:03.78\00:03:09.85
Bring many sons to glory
00:03:09.88\00:03:15.02
Behold the man upon a cross
00:03:27.97\00:03:34.24
My sin upon His shoulders
00:03:34.28\00:03:40.65
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
00:03:40.68\00:03:46.69
Call out among the scoffers
00:03:46.72\00:03:52.99
It was my sin
that held Him there
00:03:53.03\00:03:59.27
Until it was accomplished
00:03:59.30\00:04:05.61
His dying breath
has brought me life
00:04:05.64\00:04:12.18
I know that it is finished
00:04:12.21\00:04:17.52
I will not boast in anything
00:04:30.20\00:04:36.77
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
00:04:36.81\00:04:43.58
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
00:04:43.61\00:04:49.75
His death and resurrection
00:04:49.78\00:04:56.26
Why should I
gain from His reward?
00:04:56.29\00:05:02.86
I cannot give an answer
00:05:02.90\00:05:09.27
But this I know
with all my heart
00:05:09.30\00:05:16.11
His wounds have paid my ransom
00:05:16.14\00:05:21.55
Hello and welcome once
again to Behold the Lamb.
00:06:18.97\00:06:20.74
We appreciate you,
glad you tuned in for today.
00:06:20.78\00:06:23.71
We do believe by
the grace of God,
00:06:23.75\00:06:25.78
we have a
message that is timely.
00:06:25.81\00:06:29.15
You know, we've
been praying about
00:06:29.18\00:06:30.79
and preparing it,
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.19
I mentioned, it's
been a battle royale,
00:06:32.22\00:06:34.52
the enemy has fought
and fought and fought,
00:06:34.56\00:06:37.43
maybe it won't be, it
for me if no one else.
00:06:37.46\00:06:40.76
He wants us to know that
00:06:40.80\00:06:42.13
they're we're living in a time
00:06:42.16\00:06:44.57
like no other in the
history of the world.
00:06:44.60\00:06:46.97
And I want to call it a crisis.
00:06:47.00\00:06:49.10
And I'll bring it up in a moment
00:06:49.14\00:06:50.47
by the grace of God.
00:06:50.51\00:06:51.84
The enemy is so
confusing us today
00:06:51.87\00:06:54.58
that I don't know,
00:06:54.61\00:06:56.78
sometimes it's
hard to try to define
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.65
what a crisis is
00:06:58.68\00:07:00.02
because one side
says this is a crisis.
00:07:00.05\00:07:02.55
Another side says it's not.
00:07:02.58\00:07:04.89
And so you try to look it over
00:07:04.92\00:07:06.25
and you're trying to figure out
is it the crisis or isn't it?
00:07:06.29\00:07:09.66
So before we go again,
00:07:09.69\00:07:11.03
we're grateful you've tuned in
00:07:11.06\00:07:12.39
get a pencil and
paper in your Bible.
00:07:12.43\00:07:13.76
Remember, study to show
yourself approved unto God,
00:07:13.80\00:07:16.56
check it out.
00:07:16.60\00:07:18.47
We may be putting things out
00:07:18.50\00:07:19.93
there on the
edge, but we need to
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.04
because what I see in
the world taking place,
00:07:22.07\00:07:25.41
nothing's out of
bounds, is it okay to say that?
00:07:25.44\00:07:28.61
Nothing is out of bounds.
00:07:28.64\00:07:31.05
Even though you say, well,
I can't quite see that now.
00:07:31.08\00:07:33.62
I see an awful lot,
don't you as you pray
00:07:33.65\00:07:35.85
and as you read,
you can see an awful lot
00:07:35.88\00:07:38.09
that's taking place right
now and where it could lead,
00:07:38.12\00:07:40.99
how it will affect God's people.
00:07:41.02\00:07:43.46
Woo, I need prayer,
I don't know about you.
00:07:43.49\00:07:44.83
I'm gonna kneel up here
00:07:44.86\00:07:46.19
and ask God for
a special blessing.
00:07:46.23\00:07:49.66
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:07:49.70\00:07:52.00
I know, I sense
my need of a Savior.
00:07:52.03\00:07:53.74
I sense my need
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:53.77\00:07:56.97
I know I have nothing good
00:07:57.01\00:07:58.34
which to offer for
myself but with you
00:07:58.37\00:08:00.98
all things are possible
00:08:01.01\00:08:02.34
I pray that I'll
have Your mind not mine.
00:08:02.38\00:08:04.68
And pray that I'll
have Your power not mine.
00:08:04.71\00:08:06.41
I have none.
00:08:06.45\00:08:07.78
I'll have Your
goodness, I don't have any.
00:08:07.82\00:08:09.62
Have your
wisdom, I don't have any.
00:08:09.65\00:08:11.39
So I just come bare
before Thee today and ask that
00:08:11.42\00:08:13.99
You would just take
me and use me as Thou
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.09
to see fit and You would touch
00:08:16.12\00:08:17.66
and talk to Your children today.
00:08:17.69\00:08:19.56
Not only those that are
here, but that around the world.
00:08:19.59\00:08:23.30
What a privilege that is.
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.67
Lord, help us not to forget
00:08:26.70\00:08:28.17
we have such a
privilege to reach people
00:08:28.20\00:08:31.27
around the world
day in and day out.
00:08:31.31\00:08:33.88
I thank You for that in
Jesus' name help us we pray.
00:08:33.91\00:08:37.51
Jesus name, amen.
00:08:37.55\00:08:38.98
Crisis ahead.
00:08:44.52\00:08:47.32
In the vision of a night,
00:08:47.36\00:08:50.46
a very impressive
scene passed before me.
00:08:50.49\00:08:56.33
I saw an immense
ball of fire falling among
00:08:56.36\00:09:00.74
some beautiful mansions
00:09:00.77\00:09:03.10
causing their
instant destructions.
00:09:03.14\00:09:07.14
I heard someone say:
00:09:07.18\00:09:10.15
'We knew that
the judgments of God
00:09:10.18\00:09:13.45
were coming upon the world,
00:09:13.48\00:09:18.25
but we didn't know
they would come so soon.
00:09:18.29\00:09:21.59
Others, with
agonizing voices, said:
00:09:21.62\00:09:27.56
'You knew!
00:09:27.60\00:09:30.73
You knew?
00:09:30.77\00:09:34.57
Why then did you not tell us?
00:09:34.60\00:09:38.67
Why? Because we didn't know.'
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.98
On every side I
heard similar words.
00:09:41.01\00:09:45.28
Words of reproach were spoken."
00:09:45.31\00:09:49.88
Then it says, "I awoke.'"
00:09:49.92\00:09:53.86
How heavy duty
at least in my mind,
00:09:53.89\00:09:58.69
Nine Testimonies 28.
00:09:58.73\00:10:00.10
My mind, the
impressive scene here,
00:10:00.13\00:10:03.26
talks about destruction
and things that are happening
00:10:03.30\00:10:05.63
and so sad today that
many of us cannot understand
00:10:05.67\00:10:10.17
or we've not looked at it,
00:10:10.21\00:10:12.07
that all of these
things that we're seeing by
00:10:12.11\00:10:14.24
land and sea and air
and all the disasters
00:10:14.28\00:10:17.01
and what some
people say climate change
00:10:17.05\00:10:18.95
and in the water
and all the things
00:10:18.98\00:10:20.48
is happening right now,
00:10:20.52\00:10:21.88
could they not be
God trying to wake us up?
00:10:21.92\00:10:26.15
Sure, it is.
00:10:26.19\00:10:27.82
We find that in Scripture over
and over that God's judgments
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.16
fell in the land
to wake up His people,
00:10:31.19\00:10:34.00
because He loved us.
00:10:34.03\00:10:36.83
But remember, when the judgments
00:10:36.87\00:10:38.20
were falling in the land,
00:10:38.23\00:10:39.57
there'd be a
group of people say,
00:10:39.60\00:10:40.94
Yes, I see it.
00:10:40.97\00:10:42.47
Others will say,
I already knew that,
00:10:42.50\00:10:44.21
but they're still in the land,
00:10:44.24\00:10:45.57
and they will still
affect you and affect me.
00:10:45.61\00:10:47.78
All through God's Word,
00:10:52.61\00:10:54.15
I can see these things
are on my mind an awful lot,
00:10:54.18\00:10:57.75
maybe sometime, almost,
00:10:57.79\00:10:59.12
I don't want to
say too much God knows,
00:10:59.15\00:11:00.69
but it gets pretty
heavy duty at times.
00:11:00.72\00:11:05.79
I know as I read and
study the Word of God like you.
00:11:05.83\00:11:09.93
Sometime I put it down.
00:11:09.96\00:11:12.57
And I get up and I walk outside.
00:11:12.60\00:11:15.87
Because it's heavy.
00:11:15.90\00:11:19.64
It's more maybe than
my mind can comprehend
00:11:19.67\00:11:23.75
of what's
coming upon this world.
00:11:23.78\00:11:25.21
What is really here right now,
00:11:25.25\00:11:27.15
and it's getting
ready to break through.
00:11:27.18\00:11:28.98
And most of us are saying,
"Oh, I knew it was coming,
00:11:29.02\00:11:32.75
but I didn't
know it was so soon."
00:11:32.79\00:11:36.42
From this group,
00:11:36.46\00:11:38.99
I pray I never hear that.
00:11:39.03\00:11:42.93
You knew, but you
didn't say anything.
00:11:42.96\00:11:46.03
I want to say it nicely.
00:11:46.07\00:11:47.40
What God puts in His Word,
I want to squeal like a pig.
00:11:47.44\00:11:52.57
You want to say it all,
00:11:52.61\00:11:53.98
whether you agree or whether you
00:11:54.01\00:11:55.34
don't that's up to
you to get the Bible
00:11:55.38\00:11:56.75
and prove
whether it be so or not.
00:11:56.78\00:11:58.31
Look at the news.
00:11:58.35\00:11:59.68
Look what's going
on in the world today
00:11:59.71\00:12:01.08
and disprove a single thing
00:12:01.12\00:12:02.88
that we'll talk about today.
00:12:02.92\00:12:07.69
This is heavy duty.
00:12:07.72\00:12:11.89
Judgments, the Book of
Ezekiel really believe that
00:12:11.93\00:12:14.56
Ezekiel was a
prophet of God, I do.
00:12:14.60\00:12:17.40
And he wrote
there in Ezekiel 11:9,
00:12:17.43\00:12:19.97
he said this, "And
I will bring you out,"
00:12:20.00\00:12:22.87
notice this, "out
of the midst thereof,
00:12:22.90\00:12:25.77
and I'm going to deliver you
00:12:25.81\00:12:27.38
into the hands of
strangers," notice this,
00:12:27.41\00:12:30.11
"and will execute
judgments among you."
00:12:30.15\00:12:33.58
Over and over
you go to Jeremiah,
00:12:33.62\00:12:34.98
Isaiah, all prophets of God,
00:12:35.02\00:12:36.85
always saying God's
gonna, I'm going to deliver,
00:12:36.89\00:12:38.69
I'll divide you,
I'll separate you out.
00:12:38.72\00:12:41.39
God said, I'll put you were
00:12:41.42\00:12:42.76
I want you to be so
that you can understand.
00:12:42.79\00:12:44.99
I'm gonna put this way
that He's still the boss.
00:12:45.03\00:12:47.76
Is that okay?
00:12:47.80\00:12:49.13
He is the boss.
00:12:49.16\00:12:50.50
And it's time that
00:12:50.53\00:12:51.87
we as God's
people quit questioning
00:12:51.90\00:12:53.60
what He said in His Word.
00:12:53.64\00:12:55.80
I think it should be.
00:12:55.84\00:12:58.97
I don't want to talk about it.
00:12:59.01\00:13:01.18
I don't want to believe it.
00:13:01.21\00:13:04.65
Is God's Word, we need
to be very careful how we,
00:13:04.68\00:13:07.95
as it were interpreted,
00:13:07.98\00:13:09.32
it must be line upon line,
00:13:09.35\00:13:10.69
precept upon precept,
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.09
because
judgments are in the land.
00:13:12.12\00:13:14.16
Isaiah 26:9.
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.12
Isaiah 26:9, the Bible
said, Now you know this,
00:13:16.16\00:13:19.39
well, you should know.
00:13:19.43\00:13:20.76
You've heard it before.
Maybe you've got it memorized.
00:13:20.80\00:13:22.83
"For when the
judgments are in the earth,
00:13:22.86\00:13:26.10
the inhabitants
will understand," what?
00:13:26.13\00:13:28.97
"They will learn righteousness."
00:13:29.00\00:13:31.27
That is what?
00:13:31.31\00:13:33.21
When what?
00:13:33.24\00:13:35.34
When the judgments,
00:13:35.38\00:13:37.85
when God allows
these things to happen,
00:13:37.88\00:13:40.18
when they're in the land,
00:13:40.22\00:13:41.55
then you're going
to learn righteousness.
00:13:41.58\00:13:43.79
Right?
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.15
Maybe when
things are taken away,
00:13:45.19\00:13:46.55
that you feel so good about,
00:13:46.59\00:13:48.72
that you've worked all your life
00:13:48.76\00:13:50.09
or you think you've earned,
00:13:50.13\00:13:52.23
and God has allowed you to
enjoy some of those things.
00:13:52.26\00:13:56.26
It may be that they
must be taken away that
00:13:56.30\00:13:59.67
we might look up and
realize what a mess we're in.
00:13:59.70\00:14:02.70
Now why not just,
you know, be merciful,
00:14:02.74\00:14:05.27
why don't God just
show mercy on these,
00:14:05.31\00:14:07.84
you know, the
ones, the evil ones,
00:14:07.88\00:14:10.18
show little bit of
favor to the wicked.
00:14:10.21\00:14:11.95
I know He does,
00:14:11.98\00:14:13.31
but let's do that as a question.
00:14:13.35\00:14:15.28
Why not just show mercy?
00:14:15.32\00:14:16.65
Why not show
favor to the wicked?
00:14:16.69\00:14:19.19
Surely, it will help.
00:14:19.22\00:14:21.32
Interesting in Isaiah
26:10, the answer comes to that,
00:14:21.36\00:14:26.09
it says, "Let favor
be shown to the wicked."
00:14:26.13\00:14:29.83
Get what now?
00:14:29.86\00:14:31.20
"Let favor be
shown to the wicked,"
00:14:31.23\00:14:33.13
but notice, "yet will
00:14:33.17\00:14:35.27
he not learn righteousness."
00:14:35.30\00:14:39.84
We're talking
about in society today
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.61
and I don't want to
get whole lot into that,
00:14:41.64\00:14:42.98
I'm not a political person,
00:14:43.01\00:14:44.35
but I'm getting
sick of what I hear
00:14:44.38\00:14:45.95
and what I see
going on all the time,
00:14:45.98\00:14:47.32
because I think
00:14:47.35\00:14:48.68
there's justice
and there's right.
00:14:48.72\00:14:52.12
But notice what it says here
00:14:52.15\00:14:53.49
when you can show
mercy to the wicked
00:14:53.52\00:14:56.16
and to those who
had done bad things,
00:14:56.19\00:14:57.86
absolutely, yes,
yet they're not going to
00:14:57.89\00:15:00.10
learn righteousness,
many of them will not.
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.53
And now we feel
that it's good that
00:15:02.56\00:15:04.23
there is about 30
some thousand rapists
00:15:04.27\00:15:07.34
and murderers and no telling
00:15:07.37\00:15:08.80
what all that the country
00:15:08.84\00:15:10.51
just wants to
release from prison
00:15:10.54\00:15:12.17
and throw them out there.
00:15:12.21\00:15:14.34
With all the
mess that we've got,
00:15:14.38\00:15:15.74
I know mercy and I know grace,
00:15:15.78\00:15:17.18
but I'm saying here,
should we not think about this.
00:15:17.21\00:15:21.42
Many of them will
not learn righteousness
00:15:21.45\00:15:23.25
because we've already seen what?
00:15:23.28\00:15:25.05
Some of them
who got just out did
00:15:25.09\00:15:26.42
the very same thing again
in a matter of weeks, days.
00:15:26.45\00:15:31.23
I'm not against mercy.
00:15:31.26\00:15:32.59
I'm not against any of that.
00:15:32.63\00:15:33.96
But I'm saying God said
here, we need to be careful
00:15:34.00\00:15:35.56
because sometimes you show mercy
00:15:35.60\00:15:36.93
and they're not going
to learn righteousness.
00:15:36.97\00:15:40.90
Today, we want to
focus on some events,
00:15:40.94\00:15:46.27
things that transpired,
been transpiring in this world,
00:15:46.31\00:15:51.38
even in this last year has
been just almost overwhelming,
00:15:51.41\00:15:55.88
challenges that we face as
God's people now have said,
00:15:55.92\00:16:01.22
who are God's people?
00:16:01.26\00:16:03.02
It's anybody that wants to be.
00:16:03.06\00:16:05.29
It's not the name of the church,
00:16:05.33\00:16:07.00
that name is not
going to save you.
00:16:07.03\00:16:09.30
People think that
it will, it will not.
00:16:09.33\00:16:11.73
I can't find
anything in the Bible
00:16:11.77\00:16:14.34
that says the
name will save you,
00:16:14.37\00:16:16.04
a profession will not save.
00:16:16.07\00:16:18.01
I profess to be a
Christian. Well, so what?
00:16:18.04\00:16:21.98
It takes more than a
profession, does it not?
00:16:22.01\00:16:24.05
Absolutely, it does.
00:16:24.08\00:16:27.45
Amen. That'd be doers.
00:16:27.48\00:16:28.98
I like that. Absolutely.
00:16:29.02\00:16:31.69
But things that many people
are not thinking about today
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.76
that's happening and
taking place in the world
00:16:34.79\00:16:37.76
we looked at, it's
going to lead to laws
00:16:37.79\00:16:40.93
that will be passed that
will restrict God's people
00:16:40.96\00:16:44.40
from doing what they need to do.
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.27
If you cannot see
that in society today.
00:16:46.30\00:16:49.17
You know, let's pray,
shall we, for one another?
00:16:49.20\00:16:53.61
Can't you see everything
00:16:53.64\00:16:54.98
that's going on
is going to be end up
00:16:55.01\00:16:56.34
being a restriction so that
you cannot tell about a miracle
00:16:56.38\00:17:00.18
that takes place?
00:17:00.22\00:17:02.35
You cannot talk about
any of the things here,
00:17:02.38\00:17:04.85
you know, that's spiritual.
00:17:04.89\00:17:07.82
You cannot even expose
some kind of Eastern religion
00:17:07.86\00:17:12.86
that we know
that's pagan and heathen.
00:17:12.89\00:17:14.93
Can I say that? I did.
00:17:14.96\00:17:18.03
Without being saying what?
00:17:18.07\00:17:19.90
Oh my, that's hate
crime. You can't say that.
00:17:19.93\00:17:24.87
The devil is trying to
get to where we cannot say
00:17:24.91\00:17:27.58
anything about Jesus Christ.
00:17:27.61\00:17:29.74
There is a third
angel's message coming up.
00:17:29.78\00:17:32.81
We're talking about
the mark of the beast,
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.32
the image to the beast.
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.69
We're talking about a time
you're not able to buy or sale.
00:17:36.72\00:17:39.75
You're talking
about a death decree.
00:17:39.79\00:17:41.52
You're talking
about Daniel 12:8,
00:17:41.56\00:17:44.36
a tribulation time that
the world has never seen
00:17:44.39\00:17:47.00
before coming upon us.
00:17:47.03\00:17:48.36
And we set smugly in
our seats many times.
00:17:48.40\00:17:50.43
Not necessarily,
00:17:50.47\00:17:51.80
I'm not trying
to say anybody here.
00:17:51.83\00:17:53.17
I just want you
to think with me,
00:17:53.20\00:17:54.54
because I know
there are millions
00:17:54.57\00:17:55.90
or thousands,
thousands of millions
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.27
that have never
heard this before.
00:17:57.31\00:18:00.48
And they may be
not understand it.
00:18:00.51\00:18:02.21
So let's not take it
00:18:02.24\00:18:03.58
so I want you to
take it personal.
00:18:03.61\00:18:06.11
My mom always said it
as a shoe fits and wear it.
00:18:06.15\00:18:11.65
If it don't fit, right,
don't get all excited about it.
00:18:11.69\00:18:16.22
But this is the time we need
to sit back and say look what?
00:18:16.26\00:18:19.09
Is the Word of God
speaking to me personally?
00:18:19.13\00:18:24.03
Good, I like the
answer was always
00:18:24.07\00:18:26.17
because we have not arrived yet.
00:18:26.20\00:18:29.70
We haven't arrived yet.
00:18:29.74\00:18:31.07
There's so much before us.
00:18:31.11\00:18:34.48
So many tests and trials that
00:18:34.51\00:18:36.04
will prove what
kind of a Christian
00:18:36.08\00:18:38.58
we are to be Christ like.
00:18:38.61\00:18:41.32
I find a lot of
areas I need to improve on,
00:18:41.35\00:18:43.39
I'm praying God help me
00:18:43.42\00:18:46.15
because this
world is in such a mess.
00:18:46.19\00:18:49.46
But I knew for years
and you've known for years,
00:18:49.49\00:18:52.03
that the
enemy's trying to get it
00:18:52.06\00:18:53.40
to where we're not sure
00:18:53.43\00:18:54.76
what is truth
and what's not truth.
00:18:54.80\00:18:56.97
You call black
white and white black.
00:18:57.00\00:18:58.87
Did you get it?
00:18:58.90\00:19:00.70
They say this is
almost where it's come from.
00:19:00.74\00:19:02.57
I'm telling this is where
it's coming from right now.
00:19:02.60\00:19:04.71
Minds are being confused.
00:19:04.74\00:19:06.54
They're being fed.
00:19:06.57\00:19:08.08
Can I say baloney?
00:19:08.11\00:19:12.45
It just comes out sometimes.
00:19:12.48\00:19:16.08
I don't like to see
God's people hoodwinked.
00:19:16.12\00:19:19.55
That is right.
00:19:19.59\00:19:20.92
And they are being hoodwinked
00:19:20.96\00:19:22.29
and the devil sitting back
00:19:22.32\00:19:23.66
in his chair, roaring, laughing.
00:19:23.69\00:19:25.83
Isaiah 26:21.
00:19:25.86\00:19:31.13
Ours cup of iniquity is
almost full, in my opinion.
00:19:31.17\00:19:36.91
When the cup is
full, it's all she wrote.
00:19:36.94\00:19:40.48
God lets things go so long.
00:19:40.51\00:19:43.04
And some of us
who've lived a little while,
00:19:43.08\00:19:45.21
know that He lets
things go for a while.
00:19:45.25\00:19:49.12
And I'll say it
nicely where we understand
00:19:49.15\00:19:50.69
he doesn't raise a knot
on your head immediately
00:19:50.72\00:19:52.45
when you do something wrong.
00:19:52.49\00:19:55.42
Sometimes it
takes months and years
00:19:55.46\00:19:58.59
and then He lets out why?
00:19:58.63\00:20:00.66
Because He wants
you to learn from that,
00:20:00.70\00:20:04.03
to repent and turn from him.
00:20:04.07\00:20:06.13
Isaiah 26-21 tells us
00:20:06.17\00:20:07.77
what's going to
happen when the cup is full.
00:20:07.80\00:20:10.51
The Bible says, "For, behold,
00:20:10.54\00:20:12.91
the Lord cometh
out of his place."
00:20:12.94\00:20:15.38
What? The Lord does what?
00:20:15.41\00:20:18.05
Listen, this is
serious language.
00:20:18.08\00:20:20.72
When the Lord
comes out of His place,
00:20:20.75\00:20:22.85
He means business.
00:20:22.88\00:20:24.39
You can laugh and talk
and say, it doesn't matter
00:20:24.42\00:20:27.09
and try to be all macho guy that
00:20:27.12\00:20:28.96
you don't really care
what's going on that deal.
00:20:28.99\00:20:31.66
That's just dead wrong.
00:20:31.69\00:20:33.29
Don't laugh in the face
of God, when God stands up.
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.30
When He grows out of His place,
He intends on doing something.
00:20:36.33\00:20:41.87
He's going to
take care of business,
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.07
and it's His business.
00:20:44.11\00:20:47.11
"He comes out of
His place," notice this,
00:20:47.14\00:20:49.31
"to punish the inhabitants
00:20:49.34\00:20:51.25
of the earth
for their iniquity."
00:20:51.28\00:20:53.95
What is inequity?
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.05
What is sin?
00:20:56.08\00:20:57.42
1 John 3:4, "Sin is the
transgression of," what?
00:20:57.45\00:21:00.46
"Of God's law."
00:21:00.49\00:21:01.82
That's what iniquity,
that sin, sin separates us,
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.23
sin is a big issue,
00:21:04.26\00:21:05.66
even though people don't
want to talk about today,
00:21:05.69\00:21:07.03
because they're afraid
00:21:07.06\00:21:08.40
there might be
wind up looking at,
00:21:08.43\00:21:09.76
oh, there's Ten Commandments.
00:21:09.80\00:21:11.13
Oh, we don't want
to look at that, huh?
00:21:11.17\00:21:13.50
They sure don't save you.
00:21:13.54\00:21:14.87
But I'll tell you one thing,
00:21:14.90\00:21:16.24
they sure point out sin
and drives me to the Savior.
00:21:16.27\00:21:19.44
How about that? I like that.
00:21:19.47\00:21:22.18
What is the crisis anyway?
00:21:22.21\00:21:24.95
I mean, what is
the crisis to you?
00:21:24.98\00:21:27.88
And why is it people get upset
00:21:27.92\00:21:29.35
sometime when you say
00:21:29.38\00:21:30.72
there's a crisis
going on right now?
00:21:30.75\00:21:33.12
And it's going to increase?
00:21:33.15\00:21:36.09
We can see it
because it's almost like
00:21:36.12\00:21:38.06
dominos all set up that
wants that hit just right,
00:21:38.09\00:21:41.50
da-da, da-da...
00:21:41.53\00:21:45.97
Yeah, I'd say be careful
00:21:46.00\00:21:47.64
when you wake up somebody that
00:21:47.67\00:21:49.00
sleeping, they get
little ugly sometime.
00:21:49.04\00:21:51.57
They don't want to
be awakened, a crisis.
00:21:51.61\00:21:53.58
Notice this dictionary
00:21:53.61\00:21:54.94
just say a crisis is a time
00:21:54.98\00:21:56.31
of intense difficulty.
00:21:56.34\00:22:01.62
What is intense difficulty?
00:22:01.65\00:22:04.85
It means
trouble, it means danger.
00:22:04.89\00:22:08.19
There's
characteristics of a crisis
00:22:08.22\00:22:10.76
that we need to just
look at just touch on
00:22:10.79\00:22:12.39
maybe it will help
you and me to understand.
00:22:12.43\00:22:14.93
When there's a crisis,
00:22:14.96\00:22:16.30
there's a thought
of physical danger.
00:22:16.33\00:22:20.34
Many, some of you may have been
00:22:20.37\00:22:21.94
through that some
things that happen in your life
00:22:21.97\00:22:23.74
all of sudden, it's a crisis.
00:22:23.77\00:22:25.31
There's an
immediate danger, right?
00:22:25.34\00:22:26.88
There's something can happen.
00:22:26.91\00:22:28.78
Spiritual
danger, physical danger.
00:22:28.81\00:22:33.31
Characteristics of stress
can be certainly, you know,
00:22:33.35\00:22:37.32
talk about characteristics
here of a crisis is stress.
00:22:37.35\00:22:40.36
It's pressure,
things are building up
00:22:40.39\00:22:42.92
ready to explode.
00:22:42.96\00:22:46.59
Sometime we
think about a crisis.
00:22:46.63\00:22:48.33
To me I, I think in terms of
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.30
maybe I need some clear
information on this here.
00:22:50.33\00:22:53.54
I need to know what to
do, the world's falling apart.
00:22:53.57\00:22:56.04
Where do I need to be?
00:22:56.07\00:22:57.81
What should I be doing for God?
00:22:57.84\00:23:00.21
Is certainly not sitting back
00:23:00.24\00:23:01.74
in your
recliner and do nothings.
00:23:01.78\00:23:05.05
The Bible said, we need to
be doers of the word, right?
00:23:05.08\00:23:08.52
And not hearers only doing what?
00:23:08.55\00:23:11.05
Deceiving our what?
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.89
Ourselves.
00:23:12.92\00:23:14.26
See, that's the
biggest problem we have.
00:23:14.29\00:23:15.66
Oh, the devil did that.
00:23:15.69\00:23:17.03
We deceive ourselves,
because we like our life.
00:23:17.06\00:23:20.30
We like it like it is,
00:23:20.33\00:23:21.66
we don't
anybody to mess with it.
00:23:21.70\00:23:26.74
Sometime it begins to be
00:23:26.77\00:23:28.87
a crisis in our life,
00:23:28.90\00:23:30.41
when we finally wake up,
00:23:30.44\00:23:32.74
and find out that we
are not in control anymore.
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.78
And so my opinion would be,
00:23:41.38\00:23:43.39
it's good to have a
plan based upon God's Word
00:23:43.42\00:23:47.46
that we see these
things coming in order.
00:23:47.49\00:23:50.46
There's things going to happen
00:23:50.49\00:23:51.83
because there's
going to be death decree,
00:23:51.86\00:23:53.50
there's going to be persecution.
00:23:53.53\00:23:54.86
Oh, no, we're going
to be raptured away.
00:23:54.90\00:23:56.23
No, I don't see
that in Scripture,
00:23:56.26\00:23:57.67
you can argue with me
later about it if you want to.
00:23:57.70\00:24:00.67
But I don't see it
in Scripture at all
00:24:00.70\00:24:02.90
how they didn't go
through a time of trouble.
00:24:02.94\00:24:06.27
Right, what did
Daniel and his friends,
00:24:06.31\00:24:07.64
what Daniel in the lions' den.
00:24:07.68\00:24:09.44
Let's just keep him out of
it, no, he went through it.
00:24:09.48\00:24:11.78
Three Hebrews
right on the plain,
00:24:11.81\00:24:13.38
let's go right through
and they had to go through it.
00:24:13.42\00:24:16.45
Yeah, children of
Israel time and time again.
00:24:16.48\00:24:20.39
Yeah. Amen.
00:24:20.42\00:24:22.52
Exactly.
00:24:22.56\00:24:23.89
He'll always lead you through,
00:24:23.93\00:24:25.26
doesn't
necessarily take you out of it.
00:24:25.29\00:24:29.93
And so, we realize this
time things are happening,
00:24:29.96\00:24:33.97
we need a plan
based on the Word of God
00:24:34.00\00:24:36.44
to be open enough to say, Lord,
00:24:36.47\00:24:38.57
right, teach me.
00:24:38.61\00:24:41.64
And I've said so
often here at this church
00:24:41.68\00:24:43.81
and around the world,
we need to say, right,
00:24:43.85\00:24:46.45
the condition of the cities
00:24:46.48\00:24:47.95
right now is almost abomination.
00:24:47.98\00:24:51.79
You want to get
yourself in trouble,
00:24:51.82\00:24:53.42
you gonna be locked
in one of these days,
00:24:53.46\00:24:55.19
that's just my thinking
what's going on right now
00:24:55.22\00:24:57.53
with everything that's happened.
00:24:57.56\00:24:58.99
When you can burn things down,
tear things up, tears statues,
00:24:59.03\00:25:02.20
do all these things if you want,
00:25:02.23\00:25:04.97
cancel our culture, right?
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.74
Cancel things.
00:25:06.77\00:25:08.74
Other words, what is it
00:25:08.77\00:25:10.11
if they don't like what you say,
00:25:10.14\00:25:11.77
they're going to cancel you.
00:25:11.81\00:25:14.31
You realize what that means.
00:25:14.34\00:25:16.71
We just say, you
know, cancel the culture.
00:25:16.75\00:25:18.91
No, it's more than that.
00:25:18.95\00:25:21.58
We're going to get rid of you.
00:25:21.62\00:25:22.95
In fact, almost
like a death decree.
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.85
I don't like what you said,
00:25:24.89\00:25:26.22
so somehow we're
gonna rid of him,
00:25:26.25\00:25:27.59
we're gonna destroy him,
00:25:27.62\00:25:28.96
we're gonna take
his job from him.
00:25:28.99\00:25:30.46
Everything he says,
we're gonna twist and turn it.
00:25:30.49\00:25:33.29
We're gonna make him
00:25:33.33\00:25:34.66
wish he had never
lived on this planet.
00:25:34.70\00:25:37.17
There's people
who think that way
00:25:37.20\00:25:38.53
because the enemy
is running their lives.
00:25:38.57\00:25:42.30
Now let me just ask
couple of quick questions
00:25:42.34\00:25:44.01
here as we go.
00:25:44.04\00:25:45.37
You don't have to
answer them right now
00:25:45.41\00:25:46.74
but it just
went through my mind,
00:25:46.78\00:25:48.21
we're talking about a crisis
00:25:48.24\00:25:50.41
because we know
National Sunday Law,
00:25:50.45\00:25:52.98
we know all of these
things in the Word of God.
00:25:53.01\00:25:55.98
That's one of the reason
00:25:56.02\00:25:57.35
I was very
grateful to, you know,
00:25:57.39\00:25:59.85
first of all our
program, my wife offered a book,
00:25:59.89\00:26:03.36
you know a National Sunday Law.
00:26:03.39\00:26:06.73
That's a book every person
in my opinion needs to read.
00:26:06.76\00:26:11.60
It will open your mind.
00:26:11.63\00:26:12.97
You know, good,
what harm can it do?
00:26:13.00\00:26:16.34
If you've never read
it, you've near looked at,
00:26:16.37\00:26:18.14
what harm can it do?
00:26:18.17\00:26:20.71
God gives you
wisdom, you're man,
00:26:20.74\00:26:22.18
woman of God,
then you should, right,
00:26:22.21\00:26:23.71
Holy Spirit will help
and lead you and guide you.
00:26:23.75\00:26:27.68
But that's why we're offering
that book free to anyone.
00:26:27.72\00:26:33.25
Now, that's a big statement,
00:26:33.29\00:26:35.22
my, my, just
open up Pandora's box,
00:26:35.26\00:26:40.03
how many might be calling
00:26:40.06\00:26:41.40
and asking for it,
but by God's grace,
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.16
if they do, God will provide.
00:26:43.20\00:26:45.73
I'm not afraid of
that, God will provide.
00:26:45.77\00:26:49.07
We have to believe that.
00:26:49.10\00:26:53.27
God's people need to be
moving like never before.
00:26:53.31\00:26:56.64
If I asked you, if
we may be confused,
00:26:56.68\00:26:58.65
if I said to you,
00:26:58.68\00:27:00.02
do you think this
country's in a crisis?
00:27:00.05\00:27:04.35
You know, in trouble?
00:27:04.39\00:27:06.39
What might your answer be?
00:27:06.42\00:27:07.76
Just think about it.
00:27:07.79\00:27:09.52
Is the economy in trouble?
00:27:09.56\00:27:13.80
Now remember, you've
got one group over here,
00:27:13.83\00:27:16.23
that's saying the
country is not in trouble.
00:27:16.26\00:27:18.20
The other group over here
said, man, it's in trouble.
00:27:18.23\00:27:20.34
It's about to fall.
It's hanging by what?
00:27:20.37\00:27:22.57
By a thread.
00:27:22.60\00:27:26.17
The economy's at best.
00:27:26.21\00:27:27.54
Man, look at it go right now,
00:27:27.58\00:27:29.14
the others saying is
getting ready to explode.
00:27:29.18\00:27:32.18
Hmm.
00:27:32.21\00:27:35.18
Is there a crisis?
00:27:35.22\00:27:37.19
I'm trying to
establish some things here.
00:27:37.22\00:27:38.55
Stay with me.
00:27:38.59\00:27:39.92
Is there a crisis at the border?
00:27:39.95\00:27:44.59
One group is just
saying, absolutely not.
00:27:44.63\00:27:50.37
And the other
saying, you got to be kidding
00:27:50.40\00:27:52.00
and they're
showing pictures of abuse,
00:27:52.03\00:27:54.60
and all this
stuff that's going on.
00:27:54.64\00:27:56.50
And the other people look at it,
00:27:56.54\00:27:57.87
and they say, that's not,
00:27:57.91\00:27:59.24
that's not the way that it is.
00:27:59.27\00:28:03.08
They say, man
when they come there,
00:28:03.11\00:28:04.55
they stay at the Taj Mahal.
00:28:04.58\00:28:07.55
Somebody's not with me.
00:28:07.58\00:28:10.32
That's the place to stay in.
00:28:10.35\00:28:13.86
It may not be the right place.
00:28:13.89\00:28:15.52
You know what I mean?
00:28:15.56\00:28:17.23
Now what do they say?
We're taking care of them.
00:28:17.26\00:28:20.36
And the others look and
say, look, we're showing you
00:28:20.40\00:28:21.96
pictures, they're
living like animals.
00:28:22.00\00:28:25.37
I'm trying to establish point,
I'm not taking somebody's side.
00:28:25.40\00:28:27.94
I'm simply saying
is, as my eyes fool me,
00:28:27.97\00:28:30.81
is my brain so far gone
that I can't figure it out.
00:28:30.84\00:28:35.71
The devil is what is he doing?
00:28:35.74\00:28:37.45
He's trying to
confuse your mind.
00:28:37.48\00:28:39.28
So you don't know the difference
00:28:39.31\00:28:41.22
between right and wrong.
00:28:41.25\00:28:45.75
Is COVID-19 a crisis?
00:28:45.79\00:28:48.76
See, a vice versa.
00:28:48.79\00:28:50.43
One group over here, yes,
the other group, oh-oh, nah.
00:28:50.46\00:28:56.16
How about inflation?
00:28:56.20\00:28:58.47
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:28:58.50\00:29:00.30
It's in horrible
state if you look at.
00:29:00.34\00:29:03.30
I heard last night
00:29:03.34\00:29:04.67
some maybe go about
500%, maybe or something?
00:29:04.71\00:29:07.48
What is it?
00:29:07.51\00:29:09.34
Just look at
that? I'm just saying.
00:29:09.38\00:29:11.51
Some gonna say, Oh, absolutely.
00:29:11.55\00:29:12.88
And others said,
no, it's wonderful.
00:29:12.91\00:29:15.18
Socialism.
00:29:15.22\00:29:17.65
Could that lead
to a crisis? Yeah.
00:29:17.69\00:29:20.09
But see most of the
others say absolutely not.
00:29:20.12\00:29:22.32
It's the best thing that
could happen for this country.
00:29:22.36\00:29:24.16
And so the young
people get confused,
00:29:24.19\00:29:26.19
who have no experience
and things of this life.
00:29:26.23\00:29:30.27
And sometimes that's
where you have to step
00:29:30.30\00:29:31.80
to the plate who've
been around for a while.
00:29:31.83\00:29:35.97
Could taking a
vaccine for COVID-19,
00:29:36.00\00:29:40.01
could it somehow
lead to a crisis?
00:29:40.04\00:29:44.68
I mean, just you have to
think about those things.
00:29:44.71\00:29:47.22
These are things
that are out there.
00:29:47.25\00:29:48.58
When I say there's
crisis on the horizon.
00:29:48.62\00:29:50.59
There's things it's
going to have a crisis ahead.
00:29:50.62\00:29:52.85
Look at what I'm
talking about right now, please.
00:29:52.89\00:29:56.02
Any one of these
could lead to something that
00:29:56.06\00:29:57.69
just the end of the world.
00:29:57.73\00:30:01.23
Could climate changes the
way that it's being approached
00:30:01.26\00:30:03.73
right now end up being a crisis?
00:30:03.77\00:30:06.33
Oh, man, with
trillions of dollars and...
00:30:06.37\00:30:11.54
Word about the temperature
rising one and a half degree
00:30:11.57\00:30:14.34
or something like that,
we've got 10 years left.
00:30:14.38\00:30:17.81
Listen, we've got as many years
00:30:17.85\00:30:19.18
on this planet as
God says that we have.
00:30:19.21\00:30:21.18
Did you get?
00:30:21.22\00:30:22.55
We got as many as
God says that we have,
00:30:22.58\00:30:24.45
if it's less
than that, so be it.
00:30:24.49\00:30:26.89
God is in control.
00:30:26.92\00:30:28.36
When will we let
God get in control?
00:30:28.39\00:30:30.29
Instead of trying to say,
well, we just can't, come on.
00:30:30.33\00:30:35.00
No, don't live in fear.
00:30:35.03\00:30:36.36
That's exactly
00:30:36.40\00:30:37.73
what we're driven
to in this country.
00:30:37.77\00:30:39.40
We're living in
fear and we should not.
00:30:39.43\00:30:42.07
Oh, because the Bible
said perfect love does what?
00:30:42.10\00:30:45.44
Cast out all fear,
00:30:45.47\00:30:46.81
perfect love casts out all fear.
00:30:46.84\00:30:48.48
If you have a love for Christ,
00:30:48.51\00:30:49.84
it cast out that
fear doesn't mean
00:30:49.88\00:30:52.35
you won't be
aggravated for the things
00:30:52.38\00:30:53.72
that are going on
00:30:53.75\00:30:55.08
because I get
aggravated sometime.
00:30:55.12\00:30:56.45
And I want to
call as my uncle did,
00:30:56.48\00:30:58.99
I want to call it
righteous indignation?
00:30:59.02\00:31:03.32
Not a bad attitude.
00:31:03.36\00:31:04.69
Okay, I think
some of you get it.
00:31:09.56\00:31:15.34
How about abortion?
00:31:15.37\00:31:18.91
Could that lead to a crisis?
00:31:18.94\00:31:20.61
Free speech? Lord have mercy?
00:31:20.64\00:31:23.51
Could you say our
schools are in a crisis?
00:31:23.55\00:31:26.61
How about the shootings?
00:31:26.65\00:31:28.05
Oh, yes.
00:31:28.08\00:31:29.42
How about our constitution?
00:31:29.45\00:31:31.19
How about being challenged?
00:31:31.22\00:31:32.55
And let's stack it up. Again.
00:31:32.59\00:31:34.82
I'm not trying to
take anybody side.
00:31:34.86\00:31:36.19
I'm saying why are
all these things attacked?
00:31:36.22\00:31:40.03
There must be a reason that
00:31:40.06\00:31:41.56
we want to keep you
where you can't say anything,
00:31:41.60\00:31:44.23
you can't do anything.
00:31:44.27\00:31:45.93
You can't be educated anymore.
00:31:45.97\00:31:48.64
And the best thing you do
is have time on your hands
00:31:48.67\00:31:50.41
and go shoot somebody
I guess, I don't know.
00:31:50.44\00:31:54.64
Remember, idleness
is the devil's what?
00:31:54.68\00:31:56.91
Workshop.
00:31:56.95\00:31:58.28
And there's too much
idleness going on because,
00:31:58.31\00:32:00.82
okay, they'll say,
oh, it's political.
00:32:00.85\00:32:03.39
No.
00:32:03.42\00:32:04.75
It's the idea that why,
00:32:04.79\00:32:06.12
you keep sending
all that money out?
00:32:06.15\00:32:07.49
Why in this world do
I want to go to work?
00:32:07.52\00:32:10.43
Is that okay?
00:32:10.46\00:32:13.03
Stay at home, I make
more by staying at home.
00:32:13.06\00:32:17.30
You know what I'm talking about.
00:32:17.33\00:32:19.67
I'm just saying,
all of these are points
00:32:19.70\00:32:21.50
of crisis could
break loose on us
00:32:21.54\00:32:23.97
as God's people,
00:32:24.01\00:32:25.34
we talked about canceled culture
00:32:25.37\00:32:27.44
with drugs and hate speech.
00:32:27.48\00:32:29.61
I mean, it just goes on and on.
00:32:29.64\00:32:31.85
And how about if
we said about this?
00:32:31.88\00:32:33.45
Listen, what about
could this turn into a crisis?
00:32:33.48\00:32:36.05
Whoa, Lord, have mercy.
00:32:36.08\00:32:37.42
Your time's going, oh, oh.
00:32:37.45\00:32:41.72
What I'm getting
ready to read here.
00:32:41.76\00:32:43.09
Could this be? Could
this turn into a crisis?
00:32:43.12\00:32:46.86
Things that have
been written or spoken,
00:32:46.90\00:32:52.73
that are interpreted
as expressing antagonism
00:32:52.77\00:32:57.87
to government and law?
00:32:57.91\00:33:01.04
Could there be a
crisis in your life?
00:33:01.08\00:33:03.88
Because they have such
a way of changing things,
00:33:03.91\00:33:08.58
putting another slant on it?
00:33:08.62\00:33:12.55
Yes, it could. Absolutely.
00:33:12.59\00:33:14.09
So what you have written
or maybe what you have spoken.
00:33:14.12\00:33:18.79
I said many times for
myself over 30 some odd,
00:33:18.83\00:33:21.60
you know, 35
years, I put an awful
00:33:21.63\00:33:23.53
lot by the grace of God
00:33:23.57\00:33:24.90
on VHS tape then and DVDs and CD
00:33:24.93\00:33:28.27
and all this kind of stuff.
00:33:28.30\00:33:29.64
I can't say I didn't say it.
00:33:29.67\00:33:33.17
They say you're guilty of sin.
00:33:33.21\00:33:35.84
I'm guilty by the grace of God
00:33:35.88\00:33:37.21
speaking what I
believe was truth.
00:33:37.25\00:33:39.55
But it can be twisted and turned
00:33:39.58\00:33:41.65
and say you're not
for this government.
00:33:41.68\00:33:44.52
You know what I'm talking.
00:33:44.55\00:33:46.86
Troubler and better
to get rid of a few than
00:33:46.89\00:33:50.19
the whole nation to perish.
00:33:50.23\00:33:51.86
Somebody needs
to think about that.
00:33:51.89\00:33:53.56
That's what it's
going to boil down to.
00:33:53.60\00:33:54.93
There's no doubt in my mind.
00:33:54.96\00:33:57.20
This is where it's going to go.
00:33:57.23\00:33:58.57
Now listen,
this gets heavy here.
00:33:58.60\00:34:02.47
Because we believe
and Christian should,
00:34:02.50\00:34:06.41
in advocating what we
understand of as truth.
00:34:06.44\00:34:10.58
We're going to
be before this world
00:34:10.61\00:34:12.75
comes to an end
treated as traitors.
00:34:12.78\00:34:16.32
Yes.
00:34:16.35\00:34:20.69
Should I go on
or you had enough?
00:34:20.72\00:34:23.39
I think maybe you've had enough.
00:34:23.43\00:34:25.39
No. That's a big word.
00:34:25.43\00:34:27.03
I thought that was
00:34:27.06\00:34:28.40
just in like in the time of war.
00:34:28.43\00:34:30.13
Let me go just a
little bit deeper
00:34:34.50\00:34:36.30
with this because of our time.
00:34:36.34\00:34:39.24
I believe before Jesus comes,
00:34:39.27\00:34:41.64
there's going to be those
who stand for what is right.
00:34:41.68\00:34:45.38
They're going to
be tried for treason.
00:34:45.41\00:34:50.75
Don't think that's impossible.
00:34:50.79\00:34:52.95
Jesus Christ was
tried for treason
00:34:52.99\00:34:56.52
and condemned to death.
00:34:56.56\00:34:58.69
Read and study it
out. Did you get it?
00:34:58.73\00:35:00.96
Jesus Christ was tried
for treason, we are no better.
00:35:01.00\00:35:05.47
He said you're
gonna have to tried.
00:35:05.50\00:35:06.97
So even though these sounds like
00:35:07.00\00:35:08.44
big words and like, oh no,
00:35:08.47\00:35:09.80
surely we're not
gonna be traitors
00:35:09.84\00:35:11.24
when laws were passed
that you won't go along with
00:35:11.27\00:35:13.14
those times and situations bad,
00:35:13.17\00:35:15.34
you better believe that
they'll call you on the carpet.
00:35:15.38\00:35:18.75
And what if you
just believe that
00:35:18.78\00:35:21.15
we believe we need to
00:35:21.18\00:35:23.49
as Seventh-day Adventist magnify
00:35:23.52\00:35:25.92
and exalt the law of God?
00:35:25.95\00:35:27.42
I think
everybody should do that.
00:35:27.46\00:35:30.13
Every Christian should magnify
and elevate the law of God.
00:35:30.16\00:35:35.03
It's the only
standard of righteousness
00:35:35.06\00:35:37.63
that we'll all be judged by.
00:35:37.67\00:35:40.14
Isn't that right?
00:35:40.17\00:35:41.50
I mean, to me,
we have the reason.
00:35:41.54\00:35:43.17
Man, the reason
we're in this mess,
00:35:43.20\00:35:45.57
Carl, the reason
we're in this mess is
00:35:45.61\00:35:47.48
because we don't have
00:35:47.51\00:35:48.84
a one standard of righteousness.
00:35:48.88\00:35:51.05
It's everybody, we
want to do what we want,
00:35:51.08\00:35:52.91
this how we feel about it.
00:35:52.95\00:35:54.58
This is what we think about it.
00:35:54.62\00:35:55.98
Our church teaches it.
00:35:56.02\00:36:01.09
I almost said, I don't
care what your church teaches.
00:36:01.12\00:36:03.69
That includes this one.
00:36:03.73\00:36:05.79
If it doesn't
harmonize with the Word of God,
00:36:05.83\00:36:07.63
is that okay to
bring it out like that?
00:36:07.66\00:36:09.06
Come on now.
00:36:09.10\00:36:11.23
I don't 'cause people say
00:36:11.27\00:36:12.60
they can't think
about anything else.
00:36:12.63\00:36:15.37
My church
teacher, my church teacher,
00:36:15.40\00:36:17.11
don't you know what God teaches?
00:36:17.14\00:36:19.54
Sure, I want you to
know what God teaches.
00:36:19.57\00:36:22.41
We need to magnify
and exalt the love of God.
00:36:22.44\00:36:26.85
You think there
could be a crisis?
00:36:26.88\00:36:30.02
That point makes it, boy,
00:36:30.05\00:36:34.42
that we believe that
00:36:34.46\00:36:35.79
there's something special
about the seventh day Sabbath,
00:36:35.82\00:36:39.69
the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
00:36:39.73\00:36:42.70
Remember, it's not
Seventh-day Baptist,
00:36:42.73\00:36:44.63
not Seventh-day Church of God,
00:36:44.67\00:36:46.00
it's not
Seventh-day Adventist day.
00:36:46.03\00:36:47.60
He said, there's the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God,
00:36:47.64\00:36:50.07
that just very, very simple
00:36:50.11\00:36:51.47
is the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God,
00:36:51.51\00:36:52.84
it belongs to Him.
00:36:52.87\00:36:54.28
And we just said, okay,
00:36:54.31\00:36:55.64
it belongs to you
that all it points out,
00:36:55.68\00:36:57.01
You are our
Creator and our Redeemer.
00:36:57.05\00:36:58.38
Absolutely. Oh,
you created all things.
00:36:58.41\00:37:00.32
Oh, we can't
have any other gods.
00:37:00.35\00:37:01.68
That's
wonderful, I'll except that,
00:37:01.72\00:37:06.09
and what will happen
exactly when the authority may
00:37:06.12\00:37:10.99
and they will before it's over,
00:37:11.03\00:37:12.59
a crisis is brewing right now,
00:37:12.63\00:37:15.80
that's going to tell
you that you cannot proclaim
00:37:15.83\00:37:18.80
the commandments of
God and the faith of Jesus.
00:37:18.83\00:37:21.24
You need to be
quiet. Absolutely.
00:37:21.27\00:37:24.87
Many schools they've done
it, we understand that things,
00:37:24.91\00:37:26.74
things have really changed.
00:37:26.78\00:37:28.94
But the time will come,
00:37:28.98\00:37:30.31
did they not do it to disciples?
00:37:30.35\00:37:32.05
Didn't we tell you
not to go on the street?
00:37:32.08\00:37:35.15
Yeah, the day will come
and they'll look at you say,
00:37:35.18\00:37:37.19
did we tell you
not to preach that?
00:37:37.22\00:37:40.92
Yes, I don't, see,
why do I want to come
00:37:40.96\00:37:43.12
and be good just to get up here
00:37:43.16\00:37:44.49
put my house slippers on
and preach something smooth.
00:37:44.53\00:37:49.20
I tell you when you come in
00:37:49.23\00:37:50.57
here wear your army
boot, you're still toed.
00:37:50.60\00:37:55.10
It's right,
00:37:55.14\00:37:56.47
because the Word comes down hard
00:37:56.50\00:37:58.21
sometimes on us if
we're fighting against it.
00:37:58.24\00:38:00.64
Don't fight against it.
00:38:00.68\00:38:05.78
We must be
determined by the grace of God.
00:38:05.81\00:38:09.72
Well, I have 16 minutes left.
00:38:09.75\00:38:12.55
And I'm just now going to
go into my scripture passage.
00:38:12.59\00:38:14.66
Ezekiel Chapter 33
there's three verses,
00:38:21.10\00:38:26.10
I don't want you to miss this
00:38:26.13\00:38:28.34
because we're
going to hit it like fire
00:38:28.37\00:38:30.01
for the last 16 minutes.
00:38:30.04\00:38:31.91
Is that okay?
00:38:31.94\00:38:33.27
If you don't see your name
in here as part of a watchman,
00:38:36.01\00:38:38.81
bless your heart.
00:38:38.85\00:38:40.18
I remember reading
a passage of scripture
00:38:43.08\00:38:44.55
in California one
time where it said,
00:38:44.59\00:38:47.92
you know well he
says, God says, "Go
00:38:47.96\00:38:49.72
into all the world
and preach the gospel."
00:38:49.76\00:38:52.39
Not just preaching on.
00:38:52.43\00:38:54.10
No He said, Bible says,
00:38:54.13\00:38:55.73
"Go into all the world
00:38:55.76\00:38:57.37
and preach the gospel, Kenny."
00:38:57.40\00:38:59.93
Well, God met me at the door.
00:39:03.24\00:39:05.74
What kind of Bible you got?
00:39:05.77\00:39:08.38
Huh?
00:39:08.41\00:39:10.15
What kind of Bible you got?
00:39:10.18\00:39:12.08
I said, it's your own,
I know King James Version.
00:39:12.11\00:39:15.58
He said, you know, and I know
00:39:15.62\00:39:17.05
and God knows
Kenny's not in there.
00:39:17.09\00:39:20.29
Somebody follow, come on.
00:39:20.32\00:39:22.82
Going all the world
preaching gospel, Kenny.
00:39:22.86\00:39:25.43
And I'm sitting there
looking at him nose to nose,
00:39:25.46\00:39:27.00
we got nose to nose.
00:39:27.03\00:39:28.96
And I said, isn't that funny
00:39:29.00\00:39:30.33
when you read that,
don't you see your name there?
00:39:30.37\00:39:33.10
He said, "No." I
said, "Then you need to."
00:39:33.13\00:39:36.57
Okay, let's get off of that.
00:39:36.60\00:39:39.61
It's true.
00:39:39.64\00:39:41.14
We have to see
our self in Scripture
00:39:41.18\00:39:44.08
in relationship
with Jesus Christ.
00:39:44.11\00:39:48.32
Verse 6, Ezekiel 33,
00:39:48.35\00:39:51.42
"But if the
watchman see the sword come,
00:39:51.45\00:39:55.12
and blow not the trumpet,
and the people be not warned."
00:39:55.16\00:39:59.89
I'm saying,
there's a crisis coming.
00:39:59.93\00:40:03.33
We're already in the middle,
we're in the midst of it,
00:40:03.37\00:40:05.93
it's going to get worse.
00:40:05.97\00:40:07.84
It's a lot worse
than it is right now.
00:40:07.87\00:40:09.67
It's just tickling the
edges right now, somebody home?
00:40:09.70\00:40:13.11
And we don't
like what we've seen,
00:40:13.14\00:40:14.48
we don't like what
we've been through.
00:40:14.51\00:40:15.84
And it's been nothing basically.
00:40:15.88\00:40:17.25
"And the people not warned,
00:40:17.28\00:40:18.61
if the sword come
and take away persons
00:40:18.65\00:40:20.62
from among them,
00:40:20.65\00:40:21.98
he is taken away in his iniquity
00:40:22.02\00:40:23.35
or he's taken away in his sin."
00:40:23.39\00:40:24.72
Why? Because we didn't warn him.
00:40:24.75\00:40:27.29
"But His blood will I
require at the watchman's hand."
00:40:27.32\00:40:30.03
So if you said you're
a watchman on the wall,
00:40:30.06\00:40:31.96
then you are responsible for me,
00:40:31.99\00:40:34.50
I am responsible for you.
00:40:34.53\00:40:38.27
Talk, you know,
to what we can do.
00:40:38.30\00:40:41.04
We can encourage, we can warn
00:40:41.07\00:40:42.54
we can say this is what
God's Word says and go out
00:40:42.57\00:40:44.37
and then you have to
make your own decision.
00:40:44.41\00:40:46.84
And then you what?
00:40:46.88\00:40:48.21
Then the blood won't
be on our hands anymore.
00:40:48.24\00:40:50.15
Verse 7, "But
thou, O Son of man,
00:40:50.18\00:40:52.08
I have set thee as a what?
00:40:52.11\00:40:53.95
A watchman in
the house of Israel,
00:40:53.98\00:40:55.52
therefore thou shalt
hear the word at my mouth,
00:40:55.55\00:40:58.12
and warn them from me."
00:40:58.15\00:40:59.62
The warning comes from God.
00:40:59.65\00:41:02.16
God chooses, we
say, we're all watchmen.
00:41:02.19\00:41:04.96
The God chooses what?
00:41:04.99\00:41:06.63
Special watchmen that He
has on the walls of Zion,
00:41:06.66\00:41:09.63
that mean we all can't be,
00:41:09.66\00:41:11.00
but notice that,
He assigns, He calls.
00:41:11.03\00:41:16.10
And if we understand that point,
00:41:16.14\00:41:17.87
it might be different for you,
00:41:17.91\00:41:19.37
when you come to church,
00:41:19.41\00:41:21.01
as you might look at
the watchman on the wall.
00:41:21.04\00:41:23.14
And you might say, it's not him,
00:41:23.18\00:41:25.08
but it's God
speaking through him
00:41:25.11\00:41:26.78
or her whoever it might be.
00:41:26.82\00:41:28.35
Does that make sense?
00:41:28.38\00:41:29.72
That way, they'll be a little,
I'm not be whatever you want.
00:41:29.75\00:41:32.19
There could be a
little respect in the ministry
00:41:32.22\00:41:34.52
which needs to be returned.
00:41:34.56\00:41:36.69
Is somebody with me?
00:41:36.73\00:41:41.03
People don't seem to
care make a difference
00:41:41.06\00:41:43.03
between an elder of the church
00:41:43.06\00:41:44.80
or deacon of the church
00:41:44.83\00:41:46.17
or deaconess or the
pastor of the church.
00:41:46.20\00:41:49.30
Not that they're any better all
00:41:49.34\00:41:50.77
but notice here is to
me that God says what?
00:41:50.81\00:41:55.24
Thou shall hear the word
of my mouth and warn them.
00:41:55.28\00:41:59.38
I've set you.
00:41:59.41\00:42:02.05
There's many people
00:42:02.08\00:42:03.42
who set
themselves in this office,
00:42:03.45\00:42:05.42
they set
themselves behind the pulpit.
00:42:05.45\00:42:07.46
But if God sets
him behind the pulpit,
00:42:07.49\00:42:09.26
God knows what he's doing.
00:42:09.29\00:42:10.76
And he picked somebody
unlikely sometimes just like me.
00:42:10.79\00:42:15.13
Look at the disciples.
00:42:15.16\00:42:16.56
Look at their life
before they were converted,
00:42:16.60\00:42:18.13
my lands of love.
00:42:18.17\00:42:19.50
Is it okay to say that too?
00:42:19.53\00:42:21.37
My, my, my, the unlikeliest.
00:42:21.40\00:42:24.47
He picked the Sons of Thunder.
00:42:24.51\00:42:27.31
Did He not?
00:42:27.34\00:42:29.14
He picked all
right, Peter, I tell you,
00:42:29.18\00:42:30.95
well, I'll just,
if I don't like it,
00:42:30.98\00:42:32.51
I'll just cut your ear off.
00:42:32.55\00:42:36.55
Isn't that right? He
never kept his mouth shut.
00:42:36.58\00:42:39.59
The boy the time
came when they all did.
00:42:39.62\00:42:42.79
But I'm saying so you
might look now and say,
00:42:42.82\00:42:44.46
oh, there's so
many imperfections.
00:42:44.49\00:42:45.83
Absolutely. But
He's still working on me.
00:42:45.86\00:42:48.80
I pray He's
still working on you.
00:42:48.83\00:42:51.17
Verse 11, does it quickly,
00:42:51.20\00:42:52.67
"Say unto them, as I
live saith the Lord,"
00:42:52.70\00:42:54.90
is that a promise?
00:42:54.94\00:42:56.40
Statement, "as I
live saith the Lord,
00:42:56.44\00:42:58.34
I have no pleasure
in the death of," what?
00:42:58.37\00:43:01.24
"Of the wicked,
00:43:01.28\00:43:02.61
but will the wicked
turn from his way and live,
00:43:02.64\00:43:04.51
turn ye, turn ye
from your evil ways.
00:43:04.55\00:43:06.98
I can hear him pleading,
00:43:07.02\00:43:08.35
I can hear the
tears in his voice.
00:43:08.38\00:43:11.49
Why will you die,
O house of Israel?"
00:43:11.52\00:43:14.62
He's talking to you today.
00:43:14.66\00:43:15.99
It's not Israel,
He's talking to you,
00:43:16.02\00:43:17.99
New Testament Church.
00:43:18.03\00:43:20.13
Why will you die?
00:43:20.16\00:43:21.50
Please let
me... Let me help you.
00:43:21.53\00:43:24.43
All through Scripture we
hear over and over and over,
00:43:24.47\00:43:27.34
cry aloud and spare not.
00:43:27.37\00:43:29.57
Then you begin to
cry aloud and spare not.
00:43:29.60\00:43:31.67
And people say shush.
00:43:31.71\00:43:34.61
Well, you can't do it that way.
00:43:34.64\00:43:38.28
Do we realize
what's taking place
00:43:38.31\00:43:40.55
and happening in this world?
00:43:40.58\00:43:42.78
The people you're propping up
00:43:42.82\00:43:44.49
and holding up will be
the very people possibly
00:43:44.52\00:43:47.12
that will try to tear you down
00:43:47.16\00:43:48.49
before it's over.
00:43:48.52\00:43:49.86
Be careful who you prop up.
00:43:49.89\00:43:51.59
Be careful who you support.
00:43:51.63\00:43:54.46
I think that's
fair. Isn't that fair?
00:43:54.50\00:43:55.83
It should be fair.
00:43:55.86\00:43:59.17
Cry aloud and spare not.
00:43:59.20\00:44:01.10
And here if nothing
else today, we need to learn.
00:44:01.14\00:44:04.31
God, help me to learn
that God means what he says.
00:44:04.34\00:44:08.41
Does He not? God
means what He says.
00:44:08.44\00:44:11.51
Man, we need to say it,
00:44:11.55\00:44:12.88
when you get up of a
morning just jump up through,
00:44:12.91\00:44:14.82
get going out there
say, God means what He says.
00:44:14.85\00:44:17.79
God means what He says.
00:44:17.82\00:44:19.79
You may be getting
up, may be singing a song,
00:44:19.82\00:44:21.46
you may be quoting a passage,
00:44:21.49\00:44:22.82
you get up has been
00:44:22.86\00:44:24.19
going through
your mind at night.
00:44:24.23\00:44:25.56
Do you ever wake up with
things on your mind like,
00:44:25.59\00:44:26.93
oh, and you
can't go back to sleep
00:44:26.96\00:44:28.76
because, oh...
00:44:28.80\00:44:31.90
God means what He said.
00:44:31.93\00:44:33.47
He said I'm coming.
00:44:33.50\00:44:37.84
Where's My
people? Are they ready?
00:44:37.87\00:44:41.38
If we are not
heeding the warning that
00:44:41.41\00:44:43.98
God gives Ezekiel
says through His watchman,
00:44:44.01\00:44:47.08
if we will not listen to them,
00:44:47.12\00:44:48.68
because we know better,
we think we do sometime.
00:44:48.72\00:44:53.56
There's going to
be a price to pay.
00:44:53.59\00:44:56.42
But we need to prove
is, are they God's watchman,
00:44:56.46\00:44:59.26
are they harmonizing
with what the Bible says?
00:44:59.29\00:45:02.56
For we are
ambassadors for Christ.
00:45:02.60\00:45:04.40
Are we not?
00:45:04.43\00:45:05.77
All of us are
ambassador for Christ.
00:45:05.80\00:45:07.50
Wherever He sends us, we
have to be willing to go.
00:45:07.54\00:45:11.54
You can read that
in 2 Corinthians 5:20.
00:45:11.57\00:45:13.81
We don't have time to do that,
because we are ambassadors for,
00:45:13.84\00:45:16.98
I love that, for Christ.
00:45:17.01\00:45:19.28
An ambassador is
one who speaks for Him.
00:45:19.31\00:45:22.28
It's one who represents Him,
00:45:22.32\00:45:24.05
is one who has
experience in the things of God,
00:45:24.09\00:45:26.62
is the one who has
experienced in prayer,
00:45:26.65\00:45:28.59
is the one who has
experienced in Bible study,
00:45:28.62\00:45:30.66
is the one who has experienced
00:45:30.69\00:45:32.03
in winning souls
for Jesus Christ.
00:45:32.06\00:45:33.90
It's one who has understanding,
00:45:33.93\00:45:35.43
it's one who has experience
in the thing, a member of God.
00:45:35.46\00:45:40.00
Leadership, man how close that
00:45:40.04\00:45:42.30
comes to that of a
definition of an elder.
00:45:42.34\00:45:45.97
Just think.
00:45:46.01\00:45:49.34
God can and God is speaking
through His ambassadors.
00:45:49.38\00:45:53.21
They receive God's Word
and then they let it out.
00:45:53.25\00:45:57.45
And the message that
God is speaking to us today
00:45:57.49\00:45:59.69
may I be blunt with it
is the sword is coming.
00:45:59.72\00:46:04.33
Now people say, no,
00:46:04.36\00:46:05.69
let's be real
careful, the sword.
00:46:05.73\00:46:07.06
No, the sword is coming.
00:46:07.10\00:46:08.43
I'm not gonna
be careful with it.
00:46:08.46\00:46:12.13
And you need to
warn the world, right?
00:46:12.17\00:46:14.10
So you're able to
be prepared to stand
00:46:14.14\00:46:16.81
in the great day of God.
00:46:16.84\00:46:19.07
And if you don't,
the Bible is clear,
00:46:19.11\00:46:20.44
there's gonna be a
woe that's pronounced upon
00:46:20.48\00:46:23.51
those who refuse the warning.
00:46:23.55\00:46:26.18
How long do you go on
with this kind of preaching
00:46:26.21\00:46:28.75
and teaching until Jesus comes?
00:46:28.78\00:46:30.45
That's how, the warning
it goes on and on and on.
00:46:30.49\00:46:36.29
Ezekiel certainly
declared a solemn responsibility
00:46:36.32\00:46:42.20
that we have as God's people,
00:46:42.23\00:46:43.77
these watchmen on
the walls of Zion.
00:46:43.80\00:46:47.14
I like this, I found in
00:46:47.17\00:46:48.50
the Acts of the
Apostle, page 361.
00:46:48.54\00:46:53.24
Notice this,
this is for all of us.
00:46:53.27\00:46:55.34
It is the
privilege of God's watchman,
00:46:55.38\00:46:57.98
somebody
discredited if you want to,
00:46:58.01\00:47:01.12
you can't really do it
00:47:01.15\00:47:02.48
from principles
of the Word of God.
00:47:02.52\00:47:03.95
It is the
privilege of the watchmen
00:47:03.99\00:47:05.69
on the walls of Zion
to live so near to God,
00:47:05.72\00:47:11.06
and to be so,
listen, so susceptible
00:47:11.09\00:47:13.83
to the impressions
of the Holy Spirit,
00:47:13.86\00:47:16.87
that He can work
through them to tell men
00:47:16.90\00:47:19.37
and women of their peril,
00:47:19.40\00:47:22.67
and then he can point
them to the place of safety.
00:47:22.70\00:47:26.24
Notice how you do it,
00:47:26.27\00:47:27.61
in trumpet proof
in trumpet tones,
00:47:27.64\00:47:31.71
their voices
are to be lifted up.
00:47:31.75\00:47:34.98
Never are they,
God's watchmen on the wall
00:47:35.02\00:47:37.19
never are they to
sound one unwavering,
00:47:37.22\00:47:40.39
in other words, you
know, this uncertain sound.
00:47:40.42\00:47:45.29
Never be negative.
00:47:45.33\00:47:49.20
But they need to proclaim
the destruction that is coming.
00:47:49.23\00:47:54.20
Opening the scriptures,
00:47:54.24\00:47:55.84
I believe with all
my heart to others.
00:47:55.87\00:47:58.97
Warning men and women
00:47:59.01\00:48:01.34
of what is coming upon the world
00:48:01.38\00:48:04.21
is going to have to
occupy more and more
00:48:04.25\00:48:06.92
and more of our minds.
00:48:06.95\00:48:08.88
Did you get it?
00:48:08.92\00:48:10.25
Come on, church,
somebody stand and shout.
00:48:10.29\00:48:13.22
It's going to have to occupy
more time of God's servant
00:48:13.25\00:48:17.13
is to stand in the pulpit.
00:48:17.16\00:48:19.69
And say like
opening the scripture,
00:48:19.73\00:48:21.16
warning men and women.
00:48:21.20\00:48:23.87
Hebrews 11:7.
00:48:23.90\00:48:25.57
Notice it, "By faith Noah,
come on church, by faith what?
00:48:25.60\00:48:28.74
Hebrews 11:7, Noah,
being warned of God.
00:48:28.77\00:48:30.97
Notice this.
00:48:31.01\00:48:32.34
Let's get this in,
being warned of God,
00:48:32.37\00:48:34.08
of things not seen as yet.
00:48:34.11\00:48:37.61
Got it, God
impressed him to what?
00:48:37.65\00:48:39.71
Preach of something that
man had not seen or experienced
00:48:39.75\00:48:43.22
before for 120 years.
00:48:43.25\00:48:46.82
You've heard that so many times,
00:48:46.86\00:48:48.19
but think with me again.
00:48:48.22\00:48:50.73
Things not seen as
yet, moved was fear.
00:48:50.76\00:48:53.86
Who did?
00:48:53.90\00:48:55.23
Noah moved with fear,
00:48:55.26\00:48:56.60
prepared an ark and
the saving of his house.
00:48:56.63\00:48:59.47
There's no evidence,
00:48:59.50\00:49:00.84
remember that a flood ever would
00:49:00.87\00:49:03.81
or ever could
happen, isn't that right?
00:49:03.84\00:49:07.28
Remember, that's 120 years
before it could ever happen.
00:49:07.31\00:49:09.51
There was no flood, no
rain, no anything going on.
00:49:09.54\00:49:13.95
He was to tell the
people and impossibility
00:49:13.98\00:49:16.18
with the scientists of the day.
00:49:16.22\00:49:17.95
And the scientists got
their nose in everything.
00:49:17.99\00:49:23.89
They harmonize the
scriptures are made but hey,
00:49:23.93\00:49:28.16
look at what science
are saying about the world
00:49:28.20\00:49:29.86
how old it is and what it meant.
00:49:29.90\00:49:31.23
Come on.
00:49:31.27\00:49:33.74
Noah was impressed with
what God told him to do.
00:49:33.77\00:49:37.41
And he moved in faith
and he began to build.
00:49:37.44\00:49:40.54
We need to learn
to move by faith.
00:49:40.58\00:49:42.51
We need to learn
to get to building
00:49:42.54\00:49:43.95
and doing what
God wants us to do.
00:49:43.98\00:49:45.78
I thought about,
I looked in the park
00:49:45.81\00:49:47.15
and I saw was
about full of there.
00:49:47.18\00:49:48.52
We need to
expand the parking lot.
00:49:48.55\00:49:50.82
Then we hear the good news that
00:49:50.85\00:49:52.19
we're going to have
to have new cameras.
00:49:52.22\00:49:53.56
You take a miracle of
God. But you know what?
00:49:57.39\00:50:00.73
The same God that
supplied him years ago,
00:50:00.76\00:50:03.33
and He supplied the
ones we have here for years
00:50:03.37\00:50:05.57
is the same God
that was supplying
00:50:05.60\00:50:07.24
when we need them,
but we have to pursue it.
00:50:07.27\00:50:11.21
We have to let people know.
00:50:11.24\00:50:13.17
Genesis 6:5, it
says, "And God saw that
00:50:13.21\00:50:15.38
the wickedness
of man was," what?
00:50:15.41\00:50:17.28
"Was great, a crisis
was great in the earth
00:50:17.31\00:50:20.28
just like today what?
00:50:20.32\00:50:21.65
The wickedness of man is what?
00:50:21.68\00:50:23.02
It's great in the world today.
00:50:23.05\00:50:25.62
"Every imagination of
the thought of his heart
00:50:25.65\00:50:27.49
was on evil continually."
00:50:27.52\00:50:30.03
Is that not like today?
00:50:30.06\00:50:31.39
Come on, you know that it is.
00:50:31.43\00:50:33.53
God saw and He looked down.
00:50:33.56\00:50:34.90
He said, man's
rotten to the bone.
00:50:34.93\00:50:38.40
That's what He said,
man's rotten to the bone.
00:50:38.43\00:50:39.93
You know, nothing good left
00:50:39.97\00:50:42.60
man's imagination
00:50:42.64\00:50:43.97
or that refers to
his evil thoughts.
00:50:44.01\00:50:46.88
Evil thoughts come
from an evil heart.
00:50:46.91\00:50:49.71
All day long it's
all they can think about.
00:50:49.74\00:50:53.01
Matthew 15:19 says,
"For out of the," what?
00:50:53.05\00:50:56.69
"Out of the good heart
proceeds evil thoughts,
00:50:56.72\00:50:59.99
and notice, murders, adulteries,
00:51:00.02\00:51:02.22
fornication, thefts,
00:51:02.26\00:51:03.86
false witness and blasphemies."
00:51:03.89\00:51:06.86
If the heart is contaminated,
my brothers and sisters,
00:51:06.90\00:51:10.40
it won't be long
till the whole body,
00:51:10.43\00:51:12.53
the whole body is rotten.
00:51:12.57\00:51:15.94
Here the flood the world's
only eight persons were saved.
00:51:15.97\00:51:20.44
Genesis 6:6, couple
minutes we have three minutes.
00:51:20.48\00:51:24.08
It says, "And it
repented the Lord
00:51:24.11\00:51:25.45
that he had made
man out of the earth
00:51:25.48\00:51:26.88
and they grieved
him at his heart."
00:51:26.92\00:51:28.65
I remember
reading that and sometimes
00:51:28.68\00:51:30.02
getting a little confused,
00:51:30.05\00:51:31.39
what it mean he
repented of the Lord.
00:51:31.42\00:51:32.79
Remember, if you read
in the context on there,
00:51:32.82\00:51:34.69
and read the last
verses where it says,
00:51:34.72\00:51:36.52
it repented the Lord
or it grieved the Lord.
00:51:36.56\00:51:39.89
Did you get it? It
really grieved him.
00:51:39.93\00:51:42.46
The last part of that verse
explains that God does not...
00:51:42.50\00:51:46.87
Remember, He
doesn't lack any foresight.
00:51:46.90\00:51:49.17
You never cut,
catch Him off guard,
00:51:49.20\00:51:51.17
He knows everything
before it ever happens,
00:51:51.21\00:51:53.61
before it takes place,
you can't catch Him unaware.
00:51:53.64\00:51:56.81
The repentance of
God is simply a reference
00:51:56.85\00:52:00.82
referring to the grief
and the pain and the hurt
00:52:00.85\00:52:04.89
and the pity He suffered
00:52:04.92\00:52:06.76
because man
turned his back on Him.
00:52:06.79\00:52:10.36
Wow.
00:52:10.39\00:52:12.76
So now what happens?
00:52:12.79\00:52:14.13
Now God has to
assume a change position
00:52:14.16\00:52:18.23
in respect to
man's change position?
00:52:18.27\00:52:22.90
God told Noah for 120
years before it came to pass,
00:52:22.94\00:52:28.31
that the world
would be destroyed.
00:52:28.34\00:52:30.15
Can you imagine
any of the similarities
00:52:30.18\00:52:32.15
in the message for today?
00:52:32.18\00:52:33.52
I can't, can't you?
00:52:33.55\00:52:36.02
Certainly in the days of Noah,
00:52:36.05\00:52:37.82
notice this,
listen quickly, notice.
00:52:37.85\00:52:40.29
"Overwhelming
majority of the people
00:52:40.32\00:52:42.59
were opposed to the truth
00:52:42.62\00:52:45.53
and enamored with a
tissue of falsehood."
00:52:45.56\00:52:48.16
That means they,
people love to tell lies.
00:52:48.20\00:52:51.60
They were charmed by lies.
00:52:51.63\00:52:54.10
They were entranced by lies.
00:52:54.14\00:52:56.60
Huh.
00:52:56.64\00:52:57.97
"The land was filled
with violence and war,
00:52:58.01\00:52:59.84
and crimes and murder
was the order of the day.
00:52:59.87\00:53:03.31
Just so will it be
before Christ comes again."
00:53:03.35\00:53:06.68
Is that not the
way it is today here?
00:53:06.72\00:53:09.55
Matthew 24:37, "But
as the days, notice,
00:53:09.58\00:53:12.29
of Noah were,
00:53:12.32\00:53:13.66
so shall the coming
of the Son of man be."
00:53:13.69\00:53:16.59
I say this, boy, there
a whole lot more to say,
00:53:16.62\00:53:18.76
to go into the pulpit.
00:53:18.79\00:53:21.26
You preachers to go
into the pulpit week
00:53:21.30\00:53:24.77
after week after week,
00:53:24.80\00:53:26.57
and never
mentioned the coming crisis
00:53:26.60\00:53:29.04
or what's taking
place in this world is a sin
00:53:29.07\00:53:31.57
against God and
it's a sin against man.
00:53:31.61\00:53:34.68
I believe that with all my heart
00:53:34.71\00:53:37.48
because God's given us
00:53:37.51\00:53:38.85
so much
information time that we live.
00:53:38.88\00:53:42.48
If anyone will
hear, please hear today.
00:53:42.52\00:53:47.89
The end is near,
00:53:47.92\00:53:52.69
and we must be ready.
00:53:52.73\00:53:55.73
I just now got started.
00:53:55.76\00:53:57.77
But I'm gonna
have a quick prayer
00:53:57.80\00:53:59.13
with you right now.
00:53:59.17\00:54:00.50
I'm going to kneel
and ask God's blessing
00:54:00.54\00:54:01.87
upon His Word
as it goes forward.
00:54:01.90\00:54:03.24
You pray with me.
00:54:03.27\00:54:04.61
Please Father in heaven,
00:54:04.64\00:54:05.97
thank You for
Your precious Word.
00:54:06.01\00:54:07.34
Thank You that
You're going to take
00:54:07.38\00:54:08.71
in the heart and the mind,
00:54:08.74\00:54:10.08
the lives of all
Your children today.
00:54:10.11\00:54:11.45
I thank You and I
praise You in Jesus' name.
00:54:11.48\00:54:12.81
Amen.
00:54:12.85\00:54:14.18
Thank you for joining
us here at Behold the Lamb.
00:54:14.22\00:54:15.55
We love you. Appreciate
you. We'll see you next time.
00:54:15.58\00:54:19.15
Hello and welcome back, friends.
00:54:19.19\00:54:21.12
In Revelation Chapter 14,
God is very clear in explaining
00:54:21.16\00:54:25.16
that there will be
only two classes of people
00:54:25.19\00:54:28.06
during the ultimate
crisis of this final war
00:54:28.10\00:54:31.33
that we are
rapidly heading towards.
00:54:31.37\00:54:33.87
One class will be
00:54:33.90\00:54:35.24
those who have
worshiped the beast
00:54:35.27\00:54:36.84
and his image
and who have received
00:54:36.87\00:54:39.47
his mark in their
foreheads or in their hands.
00:54:39.51\00:54:42.51
The second class
will be made up of
00:54:42.54\00:54:44.71
those who have the
patience of the saints
00:54:44.75\00:54:47.38
and keep the commandments of God
00:54:47.42\00:54:49.18
and the faith of Jesus.
00:54:49.22\00:54:50.95
This class who are obedient
00:54:50.99\00:54:52.99
and true to Christ
00:54:53.02\00:54:54.52
will ultimately
receive a crown of life
00:54:54.56\00:54:57.03
that Christ Himself
will place upon their heads,
00:54:57.06\00:55:01.26
while those who are
under great pressure
00:55:01.30\00:55:04.40
to conform in
this time of crisis,
00:55:04.43\00:55:07.20
and who will give in
00:55:07.24\00:55:09.04
and accept the mark of the beast
00:55:09.07\00:55:10.87
will experience the wrath of God
00:55:10.91\00:55:12.81
that will be poured out
00:55:12.84\00:55:14.41
upon everyone
without mix measure.
00:55:14.44\00:55:17.55
You may read more about
this in Revelation Chapter 14.
00:55:17.58\00:55:21.68
Friends, this approach in crisis
00:55:21.72\00:55:24.09
will take all that we have,
00:55:24.12\00:55:26.92
and all that we are to
be totally hid in Christ,
00:55:26.96\00:55:31.19
if we are to escape
on the winning side.
00:55:31.23\00:55:34.13
We must all die to self in
every imaginable way possible
00:55:34.16\00:55:38.83
and allow Christ,
allow Him to fight for us
00:55:38.87\00:55:42.54
in both our
thoughts, and in our actions.
00:55:42.57\00:55:45.64
We pray that this message
has indeed stirred your heart.
00:55:45.67\00:55:49.44
It may even contain information
that you would want to listen
00:55:49.48\00:55:52.61
to again in order to be
ready for the crisis ahead.
00:55:52.65\00:55:57.12
