Good Evening to the
Ambassador Church Family
00:00:56.35\00:00:59.15
and Good Evening to
the Viewing Audience
00:00:59.19\00:01:01.99
watching on 3ABN.
00:01:02.02\00:01:03.96
I'm Henoc Paulicin,
00:01:03.99\00:01:05.86
the Pastor of the Ambassador
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:01:05.89\00:01:08.36
and we are a
growing and friendly church
00:01:08.43\00:01:11.00
located in the lovely city
of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida.
00:01:11.03\00:01:14.90
For those who
don't live in the area,
00:01:14.94\00:01:18.04
Lauderdale Lakes is about 20 to
30 minutes from Miami, Florida
00:01:18.07\00:01:21.88
and we're about 12 minutes from
the Fort Lauderdale airport.
00:01:21.91\00:01:25.71
So if you're in
the Miami, Florida area
00:01:25.75\00:01:28.35
or in the Fort
Lauderdale, Florida,
00:01:28.38\00:01:30.89
we would love to invite you
to come and worship with us.
00:01:30.92\00:01:35.72
Now, I've heard from so many
friends from around the world
00:01:35.76\00:01:40.53
who have been watching
and if you're watching...
00:01:40.56\00:01:43.06
I bring
greetings to you from Kenya
00:01:43.10\00:01:46.17
and from Brazil
and from Honduras
00:01:46.20\00:01:49.17
and all of the
friends from Cayman Islands
00:01:49.20\00:01:51.24
that have contacted me.
00:01:51.27\00:01:53.17
But this evening I
was looking at a text
00:01:53.21\00:01:56.71
in 2nd Peter chapter 1
verse 19 which says that
00:01:56.75\00:02:01.65
"So we have the
prophetic word made more sure
00:02:01.68\00:02:04.32
to which you do
well to pay attention. "
00:02:04.35\00:02:08.36
We have been looking
at the word of prophecy
00:02:08.39\00:02:12.36
as viewed
through the eyes of John
00:02:12.39\00:02:14.53
and the Lord has
sent us a dynamic speaker,
00:02:14.56\00:02:17.93
Pastor Lawrence Steven Dorsey
who is the Speaker... Director
00:02:18.00\00:02:22.30
of Living Word Ministries
00:02:22.34\00:02:23.67
and so, as we've been blessed,
00:02:23.71\00:02:26.07
we know that the Lord
will continue to bless us
00:02:26.11\00:02:28.98
as the Spirit
falls upon His manservant
00:02:29.01\00:02:31.41
and as he
preaches the Word of God.
00:02:31.48\00:02:33.85
But before we begin,
00:02:33.88\00:02:36.12
let us bow our heads
and offer a word of prayer.
00:02:36.18\00:02:39.29
Pause...
00:02:39.32\00:02:40.76
Most gracious
and heavenly Father,
00:02:40.79\00:02:43.02
we thank you for the man of God
00:02:43.06\00:02:45.19
that you have sent
with the Word of God.
00:02:45.23\00:02:47.43
We thank you
that night after night
00:02:47.46\00:02:50.33
we have seen that
the Word of Prophecy
00:02:50.37\00:02:53.17
is something
that we can count on
00:02:53.23\00:02:55.57
and Lord we look forward
00:02:55.60\00:02:57.67
to what you have to
say to us this evening
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.01
speak to us...
melt our hearts...
00:03:00.08\00:03:02.98
and may souls
not only be blessed
00:03:03.01\00:03:05.88
but may souls be saved
00:03:05.91\00:03:08.05
because of what is
being done here tonight,
00:03:08.08\00:03:09.85
hear us as we pray... this
we ask in Jesus' name, amen. "
00:03:09.88\00:03:14.82
Walking off stage...
00:03:14.86\00:03:24.33
Piano playing...
00:03:24.37\00:03:31.67
Why should I feel
00:03:31.71\00:03:38.95
discouraged,
00:03:38.98\00:03:44.79
Why do the shadows come,
00:03:44.82\00:03:53.40
Why does my heart
00:03:53.43\00:03:59.33
feel lonely,
00:03:59.37\00:04:04.34
And long for heaven and home.
00:04:04.37\00:04:14.08
When Jesus is
00:04:14.12\00:04:19.22
my portion,
00:04:19.25\00:04:24.33
A constant friend
00:04:24.36\00:04:29.53
is He...
00:04:29.56\00:04:35.70
His eye is on
00:04:35.74\00:04:40.81
the sparrow,
00:04:40.84\00:04:45.81
And I know
00:04:45.85\00:04:50.82
He watches me.
00:04:50.85\00:04:55.76
His eye is on
00:04:55.79\00:05:01.50
the sparrow,
00:05:01.56\00:05:06.00
And I know
00:05:06.03\00:05:12.11
He watches me.
00:05:12.17\00:05:18.18
Whenever I am tempted,
00:05:18.21\00:05:27.69
And whenever clouds arise,
00:05:27.72\00:05:36.80
When hope gives way to sighing,
00:05:36.83\00:05:46.17
And doubt within me rise...
00:05:46.21\00:05:55.48
I draw closer
00:05:55.52\00:06:01.46
to Him,
00:06:01.49\00:06:05.56
With His care He sets me free,
00:06:05.59\00:06:14.97
His eye is on
00:06:15.00\00:06:21.14
the sparrow,
00:06:21.18\00:06:26.28
and I know he watches
00:06:26.31\00:06:31.35
me...
00:06:31.39\00:06:36.56
His eye is on
00:06:36.59\00:06:42.56
the sparrow,
00:06:42.63\00:06:46.74
and I know
00:06:46.77\00:06:50.81
He watches me.
00:06:50.84\00:06:58.68
I sing
00:06:58.71\00:07:01.48
because I'm happy,
00:07:01.52\00:07:09.12
I sing
00:07:09.16\00:07:11.46
because I'm free,
00:07:11.49\00:07:19.03
Oh...
00:07:19.07\00:07:21.74
His eye is on
00:07:21.77\00:07:26.71
the sparrow,
00:07:26.78\00:07:31.65
and I know He watches...
00:07:31.68\00:07:38.82
I know He watches...
00:07:38.85\00:07:45.96
I know
00:07:45.99\00:07:50.27
He watches
00:07:50.33\00:07:54.57
me...
00:07:54.60\00:08:02.58
Audience: "Amen... amen... "
00:08:02.61\00:08:03.98
Praise God... with all the
thousands of species of birds
00:08:04.01\00:08:08.65
God's not too busy
bird-watching to see all of us,
00:08:08.68\00:08:12.65
somebody ought to say, "amen. "
00:08:12.69\00:08:14.02
Audience: "Amen. "
00:08:14.06\00:08:15.39
His eye is on the sparrow
00:08:15.42\00:08:16.76
but we can count on
Him watching over us
00:08:16.79\00:08:20.00
and friends I know that
we go through our busy days
00:08:20.03\00:08:24.27
and all the
things that we work on
00:08:24.30\00:08:26.13
and where we go... traveling...
00:08:26.20\00:08:28.94
by car, by bus,
by plane, by boat,
00:08:28.97\00:08:31.17
whatever we do...
00:08:31.21\00:08:32.71
and it's good
to know God sees us
00:08:32.77\00:08:35.54
and God protects us
00:08:35.58\00:08:37.35
and not only is He watching us,
He sends angels to protect us
00:08:37.38\00:08:42.88
to make sure the enemy...
the evil one and his host
00:08:42.92\00:08:47.46
cannot hurt us nor harm us
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.96
and I'm just
thankful for that tonight
00:08:49.99\00:08:53.23
to know that God's
care is always there.
00:08:53.26\00:08:56.03
Audience: "Amen. "
00:08:56.06\00:08:57.47
David says He never
sleeps or slumbers...
00:08:57.50\00:09:00.94
He won't fall
asleep on the job...
00:09:00.97\00:09:03.27
He always... always...
00:09:03.30\00:09:06.51
has us as the apple of His eye.
00:09:06.54\00:09:09.18
Tonight we have a few
individuals who have called in
00:09:09.21\00:09:13.15
and I'm just so glad to
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.02
receive these
different things every night...
00:09:15.05\00:09:17.72
I got an e-mail from
someone in Los Angeles
00:09:17.75\00:09:21.22
that said that their
husband was in Belize
00:09:21.26\00:09:24.66
a Ben Baptist... and as
he was turning the channels,
00:09:24.69\00:09:29.40
he saw the services going on
00:09:29.43\00:09:32.50
and he stopped and
he listened to them
00:09:32.53\00:09:34.34
and he said, "Wait a minute,
00:09:34.37\00:09:35.70
that's my pastor from
Los Angeles who is in Belize"
00:09:35.74\00:09:39.37
and that was just
a blessing to hear,
00:09:39.41\00:09:40.74
we got a call from...
an e-mail from a Wade Curly
00:09:40.78\00:09:45.98
from Texas and he said the Lord
is blessing us even in Texas
00:09:46.01\00:09:50.92
and we're just so
happy to get these calls
00:09:50.95\00:09:54.49
from so many different places,
00:09:54.52\00:09:55.86
we have a Michael
Baseley from Jamaica
00:09:55.89\00:09:58.03
who said he was
watching every night
00:09:58.06\00:10:00.40
and he was enjoying it
00:10:00.43\00:10:01.76
and then we got a call
from a gentleman in Wyoming
00:10:01.80\00:10:04.57
and he was telling me
he was having a good time
00:10:04.60\00:10:07.57
but he forgot to leave his name
so to the gentleman in Wyoming,
00:10:07.60\00:10:10.67
we want to say,
"Hi" unto you also,
00:10:10.71\00:10:13.38
and then an
Anna and Junice Hicks
00:10:13.41\00:10:16.75
are asking for special prayer
00:10:16.81\00:10:18.91
from the whole world audience...
00:10:18.95\00:10:21.02
something that's
been on their hearts
00:10:21.05\00:10:22.55
and they said, "much
prayer... much power"
00:10:22.58\00:10:24.02
and they can't get
much more power in prayer
00:10:24.05\00:10:26.76
than asking all of us
who are prayer warriors
00:10:26.79\00:10:29.46
to just pray for their needs.
00:10:29.52\00:10:31.89
Now one thing... or one
concern that I'm finding
00:10:31.93\00:10:36.06
from a lot of
people in the e-mails...
00:10:36.10\00:10:37.70
they're asking for directions
00:10:37.73\00:10:40.94
and instructions on
how to receive the DVD's.
00:10:40.97\00:10:43.74
We're working on
the DVDs of this Series
00:10:43.77\00:10:46.51
and when they're completed,
00:10:46.54\00:10:48.21
we'll be able to have
them available to you.
00:10:48.24\00:10:51.55
You can find out when
they will be ready if you go
00:10:51.58\00:10:55.75
to the Living
Word Ministries website
00:10:55.78\00:10:57.82
that's: livingwordministries. tv
00:10:57.85\00:11:00.76
and the Executive Secretary
of Living Word Ministries
00:11:00.79\00:11:05.26
Allison Dorsey Rosario...
00:11:05.29\00:11:07.70
she said you can
even go on Facebook
00:11:07.73\00:11:10.07
now, I'm an old guy, I'm
not that good on Facebook
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.90
but those of you
who know how to do that,
00:11:12.93\00:11:15.54
just look up: living
word ministry TV I guess
00:11:15.57\00:11:17.94
that's the same thing on that,
00:11:17.97\00:11:19.31
if not, I guess, she'll
be giving me a call later.
00:11:19.34\00:11:22.31
At this time,
we'll go into our message
00:11:22.34\00:11:26.58
entitled: The
Seven Last Plagues.
00:11:26.61\00:11:30.32
The Seven Last Plagues...
00:11:30.35\00:11:32.35
"Loving Father,
again, we come to you
00:11:32.39\00:11:34.66
as the author and
finisher of our faith
00:11:34.69\00:11:37.59
we thank you for
what you have done for us
00:11:37.63\00:11:40.43
and with us through these nights
that we have come together
00:11:40.46\00:11:43.13
opening thy Word,
00:11:43.16\00:11:44.50
we thank you for the people
who have expressed a desire
00:11:44.53\00:11:49.30
to know more about
You through Your Word
00:11:49.34\00:11:52.54
and those who feel a void
00:11:52.57\00:11:54.18
that has been missing
in their Bible Studies
00:11:54.21\00:11:57.05
that has been filled
00:11:57.11\00:11:58.45
as a result of these
nights of working together...
00:11:58.48\00:12:01.25
opening thy Word...
00:12:01.28\00:12:02.62
Father, I know it's
not me... it is you...
00:12:02.65\00:12:05.62
so please continue to hide
me behind the cross of Calvary,
00:12:05.65\00:12:09.56
let your sweet
Spirit speak to our hearts,
00:12:09.62\00:12:12.29
let angels be beside the
hearts and minds of people
00:12:12.33\00:12:16.20
that as they study... they will
have clarity and understanding
00:12:16.23\00:12:19.63
and you will shield
them from the delusion
00:12:19.67\00:12:23.44
that the enemy would try
to bring... or the deception
00:12:23.47\00:12:26.27
or even the distraction to take
away from them hearing thy Word,
00:12:26.31\00:12:30.95
tonight, Lord,
with this message,
00:12:30.98\00:12:33.72
please make it
clear to individuals
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.42
who will not be fearful
00:12:36.45\00:12:37.79
of what's about to
come upon the earth
00:12:37.82\00:12:39.75
is our prayer in Jesus' name,
let the people say, 'amen. '"
00:12:39.79\00:12:45.29
The Seven Last Plagues,
the Seven Last Plagues...
00:12:45.33\00:12:49.36
Ladies and Gentlemen,
every time something happens
00:12:49.40\00:12:53.30
on the news that is
mysterious or unexplained,
00:12:53.34\00:12:57.87
individuals think that
it must be the beginning
00:12:57.91\00:13:02.38
of the seven last plagues.
00:13:02.41\00:13:03.75
I remember when the AIDS
epidemic hit Planet Earth,
00:13:03.78\00:13:07.98
there were people saying
00:13:08.02\00:13:09.55
that AIDS was part of
the seven last plagues.
00:13:09.58\00:13:13.69
When Bird Flu
came... and then Swine Flu...
00:13:13.72\00:13:17.76
"it has to be the
seven last plagues. "
00:13:17.79\00:13:21.66
When 5,000 red-winged
blackbirds fell from the sky
00:13:21.70\00:13:27.04
in Arkansas,
00:13:27.07\00:13:29.14
and then a 1,000 turtle doves
fell out of the sky in England,
00:13:29.17\00:13:35.04
when 40,000 crabs washed
up on the beaches of Briton
00:13:35.08\00:13:40.52
over 100,000 fish in the
Chesapeake Bay in Maryland
00:13:40.55\00:13:45.92
just floated up... dead...
00:13:45.95\00:13:48.36
when we're seeing
all of these things,
00:13:48.39\00:13:50.66
people get nervous
and they start saying,
00:13:50.69\00:13:52.89
"It must be the beginning
of the seven last plagues...
00:13:52.93\00:13:55.40
it must be the beginning
of the seven last plagues...
00:13:55.43\00:13:57.87
God is dealing with us. "
00:13:57.90\00:14:00.27
Pause...
00:14:00.30\00:14:01.74
Ladies and
Gentlemen, I want you to know
00:14:01.77\00:14:03.10
that these things are disasters
and they are plagues of sorts
00:14:03.14\00:14:07.18
but they are not the
seven last plagues of Revelation
00:14:07.21\00:14:10.48
for when they are poured
out, Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:14:10.51\00:14:13.55
we will know unmistakenly
that they are coming from God.
00:14:13.58\00:14:20.42
If you would turn with me to the
book of Revelation chapter 15
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.63
and we will begin with verse 1
00:14:23.66\00:14:25.89
and we've seen this
text in different contexts...
00:14:25.93\00:14:29.40
in different
contexts... night after night...
00:14:29.43\00:14:31.83
it says...
00:14:31.87\00:14:33.44
Now Folks, what makes
these seven last plagues
00:14:45.15\00:14:48.08
different from
anything that we have ever seen
00:14:48.12\00:14:51.02
on Planet Earth before
00:14:51.05\00:14:52.39
is the fact that
the Bible tells us...
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.19
and the Bible is
the Word of God...
00:14:55.22\00:14:57.96
the Bible tells us...
00:14:57.99\00:14:59.33
that these plagues are
filled up... the wrath of God.
00:14:59.36\00:15:04.60
The word "wrath"
Ladies and Gentlemen
00:15:04.63\00:15:07.87
means: anger... violet rage...
00:15:07.90\00:15:11.97
furor...
00:15:12.01\00:15:13.34
in other words, when the seven
last plagues are poured out,
00:15:13.38\00:15:17.71
it tells us
that God is filled up
00:15:17.75\00:15:23.59
or should I say, we, as
a Planet... Planet Earth
00:15:23.62\00:15:27.62
have filled the
cup of our iniquity
00:15:27.66\00:15:31.73
and sinners'
prayers will be answered
00:15:31.76\00:15:35.60
for they have said to
God, "Leave me alone...
00:15:35.63\00:15:39.07
I want no part of you, I
want to do my own thing... "
00:15:39.10\00:15:43.41
and God will grant them
their request of the prayer
00:15:43.44\00:15:47.68
that may not have
come from their lips
00:15:47.71\00:15:49.94
but has come by their actions.
00:15:49.98\00:15:51.85
I look at this and I
have to stop for a moment
00:15:51.91\00:15:56.48
and understand
that it has to happen
00:15:56.52\00:15:59.75
but with it all... God
is still a merciful God.
00:15:59.79\00:16:03.93
It's a merciful
God... He's a merciful God...
00:16:03.96\00:16:07.80
he tells us the in
the book of Lamentations
00:16:07.83\00:16:11.67
chapter 3 verse 22,
00:16:11.70\00:16:13.37
"It is of the Lord's mercies
that we are not consumed. "
00:16:13.40\00:16:17.41
Pause...
00:16:17.44\00:16:19.21
If the devil had his
way, Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.74
he would take us out immediately
00:16:21.78\00:16:24.55
before we had an understanding
of Spiritual things...
00:16:24.58\00:16:27.75
before we could give
our hearts to Christ...
00:16:27.78\00:16:29.55
before we could be hid
behind the cross of Jesus Christ
00:16:29.58\00:16:33.05
he would have
taken our lives from us.
00:16:33.09\00:16:36.73
He delights in war, he
delights in destruction,
00:16:36.76\00:16:40.33
he delights in earthquakes,
he delights in the things
00:16:40.40\00:16:43.40
where men,
women, boys and girls...
00:16:43.43\00:16:44.77
are swept away in death
before they have an opportunity
00:16:44.80\00:16:49.50
to take a stand
for Jesus Christ.
00:16:49.54\00:16:51.84
That is why it is
so important for us
00:16:51.87\00:16:55.68
when we have an opportunity
to make a commitment to Christ
00:16:55.71\00:17:00.68
to not put it off but
to make that commitment
00:17:00.72\00:17:04.42
even though there are
things going on in your life
00:17:04.45\00:17:07.26
that you know that are not right
00:17:07.29\00:17:09.29
but your heart's
desire is to serve the Lord
00:17:09.32\00:17:11.76
and you don't know
how to do what is right
00:17:11.79\00:17:14.56
but you just have
to make that first step
00:17:14.60\00:17:17.30
and give yourself to Jesus
and He will take you by the hand
00:17:17.37\00:17:21.74
and lead you all the way to Him.
00:17:21.77\00:17:26.21
We have this
mentality that we say,
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.54
"I'm going to fix myself up
00:17:28.58\00:17:31.01
and then I'm
going to come to Christ"
00:17:31.05\00:17:33.75
and then I'm
going to go to church
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.12
and then I'm
going to get baptized
00:17:36.15\00:17:38.42
and then I'm going to
get my life in order. "
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.86
But Folks, you can't
do that without Christ.
00:17:40.92\00:17:43.26
It's the Spirit of God in
you that leads us to Him...
00:17:43.29\00:17:48.36
that's calling us to Him...
00:17:48.40\00:17:49.73
we can't do anything to
clean ourselves up... ourselves,
00:17:49.76\00:17:55.00
it's impossible.
00:17:55.04\00:17:56.37
Audience: "Amen. "
00:17:56.40\00:17:57.74
We need something from
outside to come inside...
00:17:57.77\00:18:01.51
to clean up inside... so
it will show on the outside.
00:18:01.54\00:18:05.15
Audience: "Amen. "
00:18:05.18\00:18:06.51
You can't clean yourself up
with a bucket of dirty water.
00:18:06.55\00:18:10.09
Audience: Agreeing.
00:18:10.12\00:18:11.65
Now don't get mad that I
said, "a bucket of dirty water"
00:18:11.69\00:18:15.59
because when you
look at the Bible,
00:18:15.62\00:18:17.73
the Bible says,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:18:17.76\00:18:19.79
that all of our righteousness,
not even our sin...
00:18:19.83\00:18:23.93
all of our righteousness
is like filthy rags.
00:18:23.97\00:18:27.14
Audience: "Amen. "
00:18:27.17\00:18:28.50
And I'm not going to
go into the "filthy rags,"
00:18:28.54\00:18:29.87
you people heard that enough
00:18:29.90\00:18:31.41
so you know what
I'm talking about
00:18:31.44\00:18:32.77
all of our righteousness
is like filthy rags.
00:18:32.81\00:18:35.54
So what is our filthiness like?
00:18:35.61\00:18:37.48
We can't fix
ourselves up and come to Christ.
00:18:37.51\00:18:40.42
We have to come to Christ
and then He will fix us up.
00:18:40.45\00:18:44.22
Audience: "Amen. "
00:18:44.25\00:18:45.59
When your car is broken,
you take it to the dealership
00:18:45.62\00:18:49.72
if you have the money
00:18:49.76\00:18:51.09
or... you take it to
the shop to get it fixed.
00:18:51.13\00:18:56.23
Audience: "Amen. "
00:18:56.26\00:18:57.60
You don't fix it and
then take it to the shop!
00:18:57.63\00:19:00.20
Audience: Agreeing.
00:19:00.24\00:19:01.60
So when it comes
to us spiritually,
00:19:01.64\00:19:03.61
when we have to understand
our needs... and Folks,
00:19:03.64\00:19:06.17
we have things that the Lord
is trying to help us with...
00:19:06.24\00:19:09.34
some of us have
some habits that...
00:19:09.38\00:19:10.75
we're in the church and
we still have those habits,
00:19:10.81\00:19:13.31
people don't know about
it but they're still there,
00:19:13.35\00:19:15.28
Folks, give it to Jesus.
00:19:15.32\00:19:17.29
Some of us are still drinking,
00:19:17.32\00:19:19.95
some of us are still smoking,
00:19:19.99\00:19:22.56
some of us are still watching
things we shouldn't watch,
00:19:22.59\00:19:25.99
some of us are
still in relationships
00:19:26.03\00:19:27.36
we need to get out of
00:19:27.40\00:19:28.73
and Folks, today,
if you hear His voice,
00:19:28.76\00:19:31.17
say, "Lord Jesus, come
into my life and help me...
00:19:31.20\00:19:34.07
I don't like doing these things
00:19:34.10\00:19:35.64
but I'm
addicted to these things"
00:19:35.67\00:19:37.31
and Folks, that's what sin is.
00:19:37.34\00:19:38.91
Sin is addictive.
00:19:38.94\00:19:40.71
We don't do things we like,
we do things we don't like,
00:19:40.74\00:19:45.31
we might cry about them later...
00:19:45.35\00:19:46.95
I used to have a
friend who used to drink
00:19:46.98\00:19:51.29
and he would say... he
was never going to drink
00:19:51.32\00:19:54.19
and he would say that
when he was good and drunk.
00:19:54.22\00:19:56.79
Audience: Laughing.
00:19:56.83\00:19:58.46
And when he was crying
while he was good and drunk
00:19:58.49\00:20:01.46
he would say... he was
never going to drink again
00:20:01.50\00:20:04.43
and that would last
him till the next day.
00:20:04.47\00:20:07.24
Audience: Laughing.
00:20:07.27\00:20:08.80
Until he met
Jesus and he told Jesus,
00:20:08.84\00:20:14.48
"Jesus, you have to come in
and take away my desire to drink
00:20:14.51\00:20:19.11
and don't let me be
falsely telling myself
00:20:19.15\00:20:23.99
that I can do it by myself
00:20:24.02\00:20:27.32
because we can't
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:20:27.36\00:20:29.76
we can't do it by ourselves
we need His divine help
00:20:29.79\00:20:32.86
but Folks, when we come
down to this last thing...
00:20:32.89\00:20:35.50
we're talking about...
these seven last plagues,
00:20:35.53\00:20:38.50
there comes a time
when the Lord says, "Enough"
00:20:38.53\00:20:41.47
there comes a time
when the Lord says,
00:20:41.50\00:20:44.97
"Okay, everyone has
had enough opportunity...
00:20:45.01\00:20:48.44
enough time... during
this thing called "life"
00:20:48.48\00:20:52.51
during our probation to
make a choice for eternity
00:20:52.55\00:20:56.58
and Folks, that's the scary part
00:20:56.62\00:20:58.45
because if we are
living in the last days
00:20:58.49\00:21:00.36
and the Lord is
coming very soon,
00:21:00.39\00:21:02.32
then the time of our probation
is getting shorter and shorter
00:21:02.39\00:21:06.80
and watch this...
probation can end for us
00:21:06.83\00:21:10.30
while we are still alive.
00:21:10.37\00:21:12.73
Audience: "Amen. "
00:21:12.77\00:21:14.10
If you don't believe
that, look at Judas...
00:21:14.14\00:21:18.51
his probation ended
when he left the Upper Room
00:21:18.54\00:21:22.28
and went to betray
Jesus, the Bible says...
00:21:22.31\00:21:25.25
"and when he went
out it was night... "
00:21:25.28\00:21:28.18
it was night for his soul.
00:21:28.22\00:21:29.88
Probation ended for King Saul
00:21:29.92\00:21:33.76
when he was
disobedient to the point
00:21:33.79\00:21:37.09
where he even allowed his...
his... his... his relationship
00:21:37.13\00:21:41.70
with the prophet Samuel
00:21:41.73\00:21:43.37
and ripped the prophet's mantle
00:21:43.43\00:21:45.83
and his disobedience
was there and it was open
00:21:45.87\00:21:50.11
and where this man who spoke
and prophesied with the prophets
00:21:50.14\00:21:54.74
went to a place where he
talked with a witch doctor
00:21:54.78\00:21:59.85
or an Opioid
man... wherever you are...
00:21:59.88\00:22:03.35
you know what I'm talking about,
00:22:03.39\00:22:04.72
huh... he went there
00:22:04.75\00:22:07.59
to get information from someone
who the Bible says... is dead.
00:22:07.62\00:22:15.36
Pause...
00:22:15.43\00:22:17.13
His probation
was over and Folks,
00:22:17.17\00:22:20.14
when Jesus leaves us...
00:22:20.17\00:22:21.87
there's no length of
how much evil we can do.
00:22:21.90\00:22:25.67
Audience: Agreeing.
00:22:25.71\00:22:27.04
So when we look
at this thing here
00:22:27.08\00:22:28.61
and we see in Revelation
15, Revelation 15... verse 1,
00:22:28.64\00:22:32.78
it tells us
that a time will come
00:22:32.81\00:22:35.02
where God's wrath... His anger,
His violent rage... His fury
00:22:35.05\00:22:39.69
will be poured
out on Planet Earth.
00:22:39.72\00:22:41.76
And Folks, you know when
you read the book of Psalms...
00:22:41.82\00:22:44.79
Psalms... no, no, no,
let's go to Proverbs chapter 1
00:22:44.83\00:22:49.56
it tells us in verse
24... Proverbs 1 verse 24...
00:22:49.60\00:22:54.34
it tells us...
when this time comes...
00:22:54.37\00:22:58.07
Proverbs 1 verse 24 he says...
00:22:58.11\00:23:04.51
In other words... Folks,
00:23:55.73\00:23:57.07
whatever we sow, that's
what we're going to reap.
00:23:57.10\00:23:59.57
Audience: "Amen. "
00:23:59.63\00:24:01.34
You and I don't know
when God is going to say to us
00:24:01.37\00:24:04.57
individually... that's enough...
00:24:04.61\00:24:06.37
pause...
00:24:06.44\00:24:08.18
and Folks... when
you think about it,
00:24:08.21\00:24:10.41
God is just and He's
merciful, and he said that
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.81
and the Scriptures tell that
and when we look at our lives
00:24:12.85\00:24:15.38
and we see how many chances
we've had over and over again
00:24:15.42\00:24:17.92
and how many times we have
broken the covenant with Christ
00:24:17.95\00:24:20.72
and we said... we
wouldn't do that again
00:24:20.76\00:24:22.56
oh no, we'll never do it again
00:24:22.59\00:24:24.06
and we just go
back out and do it again
00:24:24.09\00:24:26.70
to the point where
sometimes our sinfulness
00:24:26.73\00:24:29.26
becomes an open rebellion
and we do it and we say,
00:24:29.30\00:24:32.93
"I just did it. "
00:24:32.97\00:24:34.30
Pause...
00:24:34.34\00:24:36.47
The world...
probation is going to end
00:24:36.50\00:24:40.81
just like for individuals...
just like for cities...
00:24:40.84\00:24:43.95
how do you know... cities?
00:24:43.98\00:24:45.31
Well, Sodom and Gomorrah...
their probation ended.
00:24:45.35\00:24:48.62
It's real...
00:24:48.68\00:24:50.72
I don't care what these
people are saying out there
00:24:50.79\00:24:52.92
that some things aren't sin
00:24:52.95\00:24:54.49
and they're
voting that it's not sin
00:24:54.52\00:24:56.19
because everybody's doing it
00:24:56.22\00:24:57.56
and they're making
it a part of Society
00:24:57.59\00:24:59.13
and they want it to be
accepted as a part of lifestyle,
00:24:59.16\00:25:02.33
Folks, we are not governed
by the standard of this world,
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.53
we are held accountable
of the Standard of God,
00:25:05.57\00:25:09.14
it is up to us to
believe that and live by that
00:25:09.17\00:25:12.71
because He has the last say.
00:25:12.77\00:25:14.74
Audience: "Amen. "
00:25:14.78\00:25:16.14
The reason why the wrath of God
00:25:16.18\00:25:20.02
will be like something that has
never been experienced before...
00:25:20.08\00:25:23.62
it will be because
when it is poured out
00:25:23.65\00:25:27.89
the mercy of God
will no longer be extended
00:25:27.92\00:25:32.09
to mankind as a whole...
00:25:32.13\00:25:34.50
for the saints of
God... we will be protected
00:25:34.53\00:25:37.13
but for those who choose Satan
as their lord and their leader
00:25:37.17\00:25:41.30
they will receive
their just reward.
00:25:41.34\00:25:44.61
When you look at
Daniel chapter 12...
00:25:44.67\00:25:47.91
please... Daniel 12 verse 1,
00:25:47.94\00:25:49.91
it says, "At that time
shall Michael stand up,
00:25:49.94\00:25:54.22
the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people:
00:25:54.28\00:25:58.99
and there shall
be a time of trouble,
00:25:59.02\00:26:02.16
such as never was
since there was a nation
00:26:02.19\00:26:05.53
even to that same time... "
00:26:05.56\00:26:07.33
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:26:07.36\00:26:09.20
this timeframe here that is
spoken of in the book of Daniel
00:26:09.23\00:26:14.37
is the sign for us to understand
that when probation ends
00:26:14.40\00:26:19.54
and the seven last
plagues begin to be poured out,
00:26:19.57\00:26:23.65
is when Jesus
stands up says the words
00:26:23.71\00:26:27.12
of Revelation 22 verse 11,
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.88
"He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still:
00:26:29.92\00:26:34.89
he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still:
00:26:34.92\00:26:39.79
he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still:
00:26:39.83\00:26:43.97
and he that is holy,
let him be holy still. "
00:26:44.00\00:26:48.20
In other words, when
that proclamation goes out
00:26:48.24\00:26:51.31
from Jesus' lips...
00:26:51.34\00:26:52.67
when He stands
up and He says that
00:26:52.71\00:26:55.11
in the most Holy Place in glory,
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.95
everybody's
destiny will be fixed.
00:26:57.98\00:27:00.75
Pause...
00:27:00.78\00:27:02.12
If you're straight with God,
00:27:02.15\00:27:04.05
you're going to be
straight till the end,
00:27:04.09\00:27:05.42
somebody ought to say, "Amen. "
00:27:05.45\00:27:06.79
Audience: "Amen. "
00:27:06.82\00:27:08.16
But when playing with God
and you're out there on your own
00:27:08.19\00:27:10.23
that's the way
you're going to be...
00:27:10.26\00:27:11.59
filthy...
filthy... unjust... unjust...
00:27:11.63\00:27:13.90
righteous...
righteous... Holy... Holy...
00:27:13.93\00:27:16.70
so if we don't
know when it's coming...
00:27:16.77\00:27:19.00
there's nobody
counting down the clock...
00:27:19.03\00:27:20.97
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:27:21.00\00:27:22.34
if we don't know
when it's coming,
00:27:22.37\00:27:24.21
it would behoove us to
be ready... all the time.
00:27:24.24\00:27:28.04
Audience: "Amen. "
00:27:28.08\00:27:29.41
It would behoove us
to be ready at night,
00:27:29.44\00:27:31.75
in the morning... at
mid-day... and afternoon...
00:27:31.81\00:27:36.08
wherever we
are... whatever we do...
00:27:36.12\00:27:38.35
we would be living to be ready.
00:27:38.39\00:27:41.19
Audience: "Amen. "
00:27:41.22\00:27:42.56
It could happen any time.
00:27:42.59\00:27:45.06
Pause...
00:27:45.09\00:27:46.70
I come back now to
the book of Revelation
00:27:46.73\00:27:49.13
chapter 15 and we're
going to move on now...
00:27:49.16\00:27:51.53
in chapter 15,
the question is asked
00:27:51.57\00:27:54.67
as individuals are
beholding this sight...
00:27:54.70\00:27:58.54
they are looking
at the wrath of God
00:27:58.57\00:28:01.24
about to be poured
out by these angels
00:28:01.28\00:28:03.71
and John gets a split screen
and he sees a sea of glass
00:28:03.75\00:28:08.95
mingled with fire...
00:28:08.98\00:28:10.32
"and them that had gotten
the victory over the beast,
00:28:10.35\00:28:12.05
and his image, and his mark,
and over the number of his name,
00:28:12.09\00:28:14.06
stand on the sea of
glass... " in other words...
00:28:14.12\00:28:15.92
as God is about to
pour out His anger...
00:28:15.96\00:28:18.29
the scene
switches for John to see
00:28:18.36\00:28:21.43
those individuals who
are going to be victorious.
00:28:21.46\00:28:24.87
Folks, by faith you
have to see yourself there,
00:28:24.93\00:28:28.30
by faith you have to
see yourself there...
00:28:28.34\00:28:31.27
you and I must understand that
we are living in the last days
00:28:31.31\00:28:36.18
and some of us...
maybe all of us...
00:28:36.21\00:28:39.11
I don't know... many of us
00:28:39.15\00:28:41.38
will be able to go
through this time of trouble
00:28:41.42\00:28:44.59
that's happening and
will happen on Planet Earth,
00:28:44.62\00:28:47.42
right now, we're in
the early time of trouble
00:28:47.46\00:28:50.16
but when probation ends it
will be the time of trouble
00:28:50.19\00:28:53.86
and some of us are
going to go through it
00:28:53.90\00:28:57.67
so we have to start
preparing ourselves.
00:28:57.70\00:29:01.40
Folks, the devil's biggest
trick that he is working on
00:29:01.44\00:29:04.84
with those individuals
who have a knowledge of God,
00:29:04.87\00:29:08.24
is to tell them, "You
don't have to get ready now,
00:29:08.28\00:29:11.48
you have plenty of time. "
00:29:11.51\00:29:13.11
And Folks, if you know
me... if you were like me...
00:29:13.15\00:29:17.19
when I put something
off... off... off... off...
00:29:17.22\00:29:21.26
pause...
00:29:21.29\00:29:23.09
if I get it completed,
00:29:23.12\00:29:24.79
it's not completed
the way I wanted it done.
00:29:24.83\00:29:27.00
Come on now...
00:29:27.03\00:29:28.93
how many of you
have procrastinated?
00:29:28.96\00:29:31.30
Pause...
00:29:31.33\00:29:32.73
Come on now, tell the truth...
00:29:32.80\00:29:34.54
come on, they're looking at
all over the world, watching you
00:29:34.57\00:29:37.31
many of us are procrastinators.
00:29:37.34\00:29:39.67
We were planning to do something
00:29:39.71\00:29:41.24
we can do it tomorrow...
tomorrow... tomorrow, tomorrow,
00:29:41.28\00:29:43.01
tomorrow... tomorrow,
00:29:43.04\00:29:44.38
well Folks, what if
tomorrow doesn't come?
00:29:44.41\00:29:47.02
Audience: Agreeing.
00:29:47.05\00:29:48.65
When it comes to our salvation,
00:29:48.68\00:29:50.79
we have to get
right with God today.
00:29:50.82\00:29:53.19
We have to say, "Lord,
deal with this thing today.
00:29:53.25\00:29:56.06
I don't need to get it
fixed when I graduate... "
00:29:56.09\00:29:58.86
I heard one lady
say to me one time,
00:29:58.89\00:30:00.76
"Well Pastor, I really
don't want the Lord to come
00:30:00.80\00:30:02.26
because I want to
get married first. "
00:30:02.33\00:30:03.67
Audience: Laughing...
00:30:03.70\00:30:05.03
I said, "Honey, you don't
know what you're asking for,
00:30:05.07\00:30:07.14
you might think
marriage is heaven
00:30:07.17\00:30:08.74
but some marriages
are that other word. "
00:30:08.77\00:30:10.71
Audience: Laughter...
00:30:10.74\00:30:13.71
Get right with God now...
00:30:13.74\00:30:16.64
today...
00:30:16.68\00:30:18.01
so when we come to chapter
16 which shows us first hand
00:30:18.05\00:30:22.75
what these plagues are like,
00:30:22.78\00:30:24.12
I don't want you to be
frightful of these things
00:30:24.15\00:30:26.52
because somebody's
going to be saved...
00:30:26.55\00:30:28.49
someone's going to be protected,
00:30:28.52\00:30:30.16
someone's going to be covered
by the blood of the Lamb,
00:30:30.19\00:30:33.66
we see that in chapter 15
when we look at the rest of that
00:30:33.70\00:30:37.10
but when we see
these plagues poured out,
00:30:37.17\00:30:39.53
there are plagues that
we will know unmistakenly
00:30:39.57\00:30:43.51
that they are not
natural phenomena...
00:30:43.54\00:30:46.74
Verse 1 chapter 16...
00:30:46.78\00:30:50.55
Now one Bible writer said
that the seven last plagues
00:30:59.49\00:31:02.92
are not universal.
00:31:02.99\00:31:04.63
In other words, they
are not going to happen
00:31:04.66\00:31:07.10
every place at the same time
00:31:07.13\00:31:08.83
because if they
did... Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:31:08.86\00:31:11.43
the earth would not
be able to survive it
00:31:11.47\00:31:13.97
so it's going to take place
00:31:14.00\00:31:15.84
in different
places around the world
00:31:15.87\00:31:17.81
but it will be of such magnitude
00:31:17.84\00:31:19.71
that all the world
will be affected by it.
00:31:19.77\00:31:22.14
Now we see that even today
00:31:22.18\00:31:24.31
with some of the
things that we're dealing with
00:31:24.35\00:31:25.81
in this time of mercy.
00:31:25.85\00:31:27.22
That last earthquake
that took place in Haiti,
00:31:27.25\00:31:30.42
it's said that it caused
the earth to wobble on its axis.
00:31:30.45\00:31:34.86
The one we had where
the great tsunami came
00:31:34.92\00:31:38.23
on Christmas... I think
that was 2004... was it?
00:31:38.29\00:31:43.26
I'm not sure what year
00:31:43.30\00:31:44.63
but it's said that earthquake
also shook the earth on its axis
00:31:44.67\00:31:50.07
pause...
00:31:50.11\00:31:51.74
Folks, we're
living in perilous times.
00:31:51.77\00:31:54.31
Pause...
00:31:54.34\00:31:55.78
But when these
things start falling,
00:31:55.84\00:31:57.95
there will be no
natural explanation for them,
00:31:57.98\00:32:02.62
we will know it is the
power of God and it says...
00:32:02.65\00:32:06.62
Oh, Ladies and
Gentlemen, in other words,
00:32:18.40\00:32:20.34
that first plague
that is poured out,
00:32:20.37\00:32:22.24
it will be poured
out on those individuals
00:32:22.27\00:32:24.84
who stood up and resisted
the seal of the living God
00:32:24.87\00:32:29.11
and accepted the
Mark of the Beast.
00:32:29.14\00:32:31.98
Now the last two nights,
we looked at that subject
00:32:32.01\00:32:34.62
and we saw that the Seal of God
00:32:34.65\00:32:36.35
was found in the heart
of the commandments of God.
00:32:36.38\00:32:38.89
Exodus 20 verses 8 through 11...
00:32:38.95\00:32:41.39
in that commandment...
the fourth commandment...
00:32:41.42\00:32:43.69
the only one that starts out
with the word, "Remember... "
00:32:43.73\00:32:47.10
and it's a long commandment
00:32:47.16\00:32:48.50
but if you can just
remember the first word
00:32:48.53\00:32:50.17
and the last word,
you're pretty good...
00:32:50.23\00:32:51.87
it says, "Remember it. "
00:32:51.93\00:32:53.27
Pause...
00:32:53.30\00:32:54.64
That commandment has His name,
His title, His territory...
00:32:54.67\00:32:58.51
His name is: the Lord God...
00:32:58.54\00:33:00.21
His title: He's Creator...
00:33:00.24\00:33:01.84
His territory:
00:33:01.88\00:33:03.31
"is the heaven and earth and
sea and the fountains of waters"
00:33:03.35\00:33:05.61
that commandment...
the fourth commandment...
00:33:05.65\00:33:08.28
placed in the ten commandments,
Exodus 20:3 through 17,
00:33:08.32\00:33:12.49
identities whose law that is
00:33:12.52\00:33:15.79
and when we see
that fourth commandment,
00:33:15.82\00:33:18.89
once again highlighted...
00:33:18.93\00:33:20.36
we understand that this is a
commandment that lets us know
00:33:20.40\00:33:24.73
that we are serving the
God who gave us our planet
00:33:24.77\00:33:30.07
and it is a memorial of his work
and our relationship with Him.
00:33:30.11\00:33:35.84
As it says in Ezekiel
20 verses 12 and verse 20,
00:33:35.88\00:33:39.55
it shows that He is our God
00:33:39.61\00:33:42.45
and He says that
we are His people.
00:33:42.48\00:33:45.52
We see that it was
something given to us
00:33:45.55\00:33:48.59
not as Jews as it
were... but it was given to us
00:33:48.62\00:33:52.06
in a sinless world... Exodus...
00:33:52.09\00:33:54.70
I'm sorry...
Genesis 2 verses 1 through 3
00:33:54.73\00:33:57.90
when Adam and Eve were in
the garden with Jesus Himself,
00:33:57.93\00:34:00.90
before sin entered the world
00:34:00.94\00:34:02.87
and when we get to
the earth made new...
00:34:02.90\00:34:05.31
Isaiah has told us,
that gospel prophet...
00:34:05.34\00:34:07.74
in Isaiah 66 verse 23,
00:34:07.78\00:34:10.05
He says that from one
new moon to another...
00:34:10.11\00:34:13.55
which means once a month...
00:34:13.58\00:34:15.28
and from each
Sabbath to another...
00:34:15.32\00:34:18.35
that means... every week...
00:34:18.39\00:34:19.72
all flesh shall come
together and worship God
00:34:19.75\00:34:22.62
and when we look at
Revelation 21 and 22...
00:34:22.66\00:34:25.63
and we see that
the throne of God
00:34:25.66\00:34:28.30
and the throne of Jesus
00:34:28.33\00:34:29.66
will be placed in the
middle of the new Jerusalem,
00:34:29.70\00:34:32.10
the heavenly city...
00:34:32.13\00:34:33.47
and that will be the
center of Planet Earth
00:34:33.50\00:34:36.24
third planet from the sun...
00:34:36.27\00:34:38.07
fifth largest in
the Solar System...
00:34:38.11\00:34:40.04
this place will become paradise
when it's made new in Christ.
00:34:40.08\00:34:45.28
Audience: "Amen. "
00:34:45.31\00:34:46.65
So we see that that is something
that He has given to us
00:34:46.68\00:34:49.92
but then when we saw
the Mark of the Beast
00:34:49.95\00:34:52.39
and we saw the beast power
00:34:52.42\00:34:53.76
and we understand that it's
talking about the Papal Power,
00:34:53.79\00:34:57.23
we're talking about the Papacy,
00:34:57.26\00:34:58.73
we're talking about a
power that ruled the world
00:34:58.76\00:35:02.23
and during its rule,
70 million Christians
00:35:02.26\00:35:06.50
were slain by Pagan Rome
00:35:06.53\00:35:08.60
and 70 million Christians
were slain by Papal Rome
00:35:08.64\00:35:12.61
and we saw that that entity...
that System of false worship...
00:35:12.64\00:35:16.54
we're not talking about people
but we're talking about a System
00:35:16.61\00:35:20.48
that was set up
in opposition to God
00:35:20.52\00:35:23.08
had the nerve to not only
alter the commandments of God
00:35:23.12\00:35:28.02
but when you look
at the Douay Bible
00:35:28.06\00:35:30.33
and you see the Ten Commandments
00:35:30.39\00:35:32.59
as in the Catechism
of the Catholic Church,
00:35:32.63\00:35:35.33
you will see that
the second commandment...
00:35:35.36\00:35:38.00
the second commandment
that forbids idol worship
00:35:38.03\00:35:41.44
is taken out and one of
the other commandments...
00:35:41.47\00:35:44.47
it's split up...
00:35:44.51\00:35:45.84
pause...
00:35:45.87\00:35:47.28
you can't change what God
has written with His own finger
00:35:47.31\00:35:52.28
for Exodus 31 verse 18 tells
us that the commandments of God
00:35:52.31\00:35:57.25
were written by Jesus Himself
00:35:57.29\00:36:00.32
and when you look
at those commandments
00:36:00.36\00:36:02.26
in the Catechism,
00:36:02.29\00:36:03.63
when it comes down to the
commandment which is not fourth
00:36:03.66\00:36:06.93
in that Catechism
but it's number three...
00:36:06.96\00:36:09.76
all it says... "Remember to
keep holy the Sabbath Day. "
00:36:09.80\00:36:12.80
Folks, if it said
it just like that,
00:36:12.83\00:36:15.64
then it doesn't
tell you what day...
00:36:15.67\00:36:18.44
and it doesn't tell you why.
00:36:18.47\00:36:20.74
It just says, "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy. "
00:36:20.78\00:36:24.18
Jesus, not only
tells us what day...
00:36:24.21\00:36:27.98
but He tells us why...
00:36:28.02\00:36:30.05
because in it, He made
heaven and earth and sea
00:36:30.09\00:36:32.89
and fountains of water.
00:36:32.92\00:36:34.26
And we said, this whole thing...
00:36:34.29\00:36:36.93
when we look at the
Bible, this whole controversy
00:36:36.99\00:36:39.69
that is going on
between Satan and Christ...
00:36:39.73\00:36:41.90
it's all about worship.
00:36:41.93\00:36:44.47
Worship that belongs to God...
00:36:44.50\00:36:47.80
Satan tries to hijack
and bring it to himself
00:36:47.84\00:36:51.04
and when we
looked at Revelation...
00:36:51.07\00:36:53.81
I want you to look at
this, Revelation chapter 13,
00:36:53.84\00:36:55.91
looking at verse 2,
00:36:55.94\00:36:57.38
we see why the devil
is doing what he does...
00:36:57.41\00:37:01.02
Revelation chapter
13, verse 2, it says,
00:37:01.05\00:37:04.45
"And the beast which I
saw was like unto a leopard,
00:37:04.49\00:37:07.66
and his feet as...
the feet of a bear...
00:37:07.69\00:37:10.03
and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion:
00:37:10.06\00:37:12.63
and the dragon
gave him his power,
00:37:12.66\00:37:15.20
and his seat, and
his great authority.
00:37:15.23\00:37:18.13
And I saw one of his heads
as it were wounded to death;
00:37:18.17\00:37:20.64
and his deadly
wound was was healed:
00:37:20.67\00:37:22.00
and all the world
wondered after the beast. "
00:37:22.04\00:37:24.61
And verse 4... "And
they worshipped the dragon
00:37:24.64\00:37:27.18
which gave power unto the beast"
00:37:27.21\00:37:29.18
you see, Satan is so
deluded... he is so deluded
00:37:29.21\00:37:32.48
that he thinks...
if we don't worship God
00:37:32.51\00:37:35.78
but we worship him
in any of his form,
00:37:35.82\00:37:39.05
it goes to him.
00:37:39.09\00:37:40.69
Pause...
00:37:40.72\00:37:42.96
He is not going
to make it to heaven
00:37:42.99\00:37:45.23
and he doesn't
want us to go to heaven.
00:37:45.26\00:37:47.43
My Bible tells us that if
we're guilty of one commandment,
00:37:47.46\00:37:50.83
we're guilty of all,
Ladies and Gentlemen.
00:37:50.87\00:37:52.63
And I thank God there's grace
00:37:52.67\00:37:54.77
because we a
have all broken all.
00:37:54.80\00:37:56.91
We've done it...
00:37:56.94\00:37:58.54
and sometimes some people say,
00:37:58.57\00:38:00.68
"Well, I never
committed adultery. "
00:38:00.74\00:38:02.78
Yeah, but you have thought of it
in your heart and in your mind.
00:38:02.81\00:38:04.88
Folks, that's why
you have to be careful
00:38:04.91\00:38:06.92
of what you're
watching on TV... hmmm...
00:38:06.95\00:38:09.12
it's in your
heart and your mind...
00:38:09.15\00:38:11.22
I mean, I'm not going
to go to hell for TV...
00:38:11.25\00:38:14.82
pause...
00:38:14.86\00:38:16.19
and now, listen to me...
00:38:16.22\00:38:17.79
I'm not saying,
"throw out your TV"
00:38:17.83\00:38:19.16
but I'm just saying...
00:38:19.19\00:38:20.53
we have to be
careful what we watch.
00:38:20.56\00:38:21.90
We have to be
careful what we listen to...
00:38:21.93\00:38:25.73
pause...
00:38:25.77\00:38:28.14
music...
00:38:28.17\00:38:30.47
the music we listen to...
00:38:30.51\00:38:32.14
puts us in
different frames of mind...
00:38:32.17\00:38:34.58
I remember
before I knew the Lord,
00:38:34.61\00:38:36.98
and if I was getting
ready to go out to a party,
00:38:37.01\00:38:39.25
I'd put on music to
put me in "party mood. "
00:38:39.28\00:38:41.38
Am I telling the truth?
00:38:41.42\00:38:43.59
and when you're feeling down,
00:38:43.62\00:38:45.35
you put on music to
even take you even downer...
00:38:45.39\00:38:47.46
that's why do they
call it "the mood?"
00:38:47.49\00:38:48.89
Audience: Laugher...
00:38:48.92\00:38:50.49
huh... but when
you need to be uplifted
00:38:50.53\00:38:52.89
you're singing
those gospel songs
00:38:52.93\00:38:54.76
and you read those
hymns and they bring it up
00:38:54.80\00:38:57.10
and they can uplift you.
00:38:57.17\00:38:58.63
Audience: "Amen. "
00:38:58.67\00:39:00.40
Music really moves us and Folks,
who is in charge of music?
00:39:00.44\00:39:05.21
The enemy was in charge of music
00:39:05.24\00:39:07.78
so you have to know that
00:39:07.81\00:39:10.31
all music is not safe.
00:39:10.35\00:39:12.75
It might sound good...
it might deal with it...
00:39:12.78\00:39:15.22
there is some music
that just has you jumping
00:39:15.25\00:39:17.65
before you even
know you're jumping
00:39:17.69\00:39:19.05
and guess what?
Music doesn't leave you.
00:39:19.09\00:39:22.52
I mean, I can be
walking in the store
00:39:22.56\00:39:25.89
shopping with my wife
00:39:25.93\00:39:28.60
and I get to push
the cart sometimes
00:39:28.63\00:39:30.43
and I'm going through
and a song will come on
00:39:30.47\00:39:33.74
and before I even
hear the words of the song,
00:39:33.77\00:39:36.97
the words are right there...
00:39:37.01\00:39:38.34
like somebody just
typed them up on my head
00:39:38.37\00:39:41.64
and guess what?
Those words will come out
00:39:41.68\00:39:43.28
and the music and the
beat without missing it...
00:39:43.31\00:39:47.82
pause...
00:39:47.85\00:39:49.18
because they're in us...
00:39:49.22\00:39:50.55
oh we should have the Holy
Ghost in us like that, amen...
00:39:50.59\00:39:53.49
then we could
bring it up like that
00:39:53.56\00:39:55.09
and we have to ask God to do it.
00:39:55.12\00:39:56.59
So, Folks, when we
come back to this...
00:39:56.62\00:39:58.26
and I want you to see this,
00:39:58.29\00:39:59.63
I don't want you to be afraid
of the seven last plagues,
00:39:59.66\00:40:02.96
I want you to be
aware and it says,
00:40:03.00\00:40:04.77
"These individuals that stand up
and resist the power of God... "
00:40:04.80\00:40:07.77
and Folks, you
remember, the Bible told us
00:40:07.80\00:40:10.01
that those who
receive the Mark of the Beast,
00:40:10.04\00:40:12.21
will receive it
even in their forehead
00:40:12.24\00:40:13.98
which means they believed it
00:40:14.01\00:40:15.34
or in their hand, which
means, they will do and comply
00:40:15.38\00:40:20.35
and worship the beast
for the benefits of it
00:40:20.42\00:40:23.05
and they will be the first ones
to receive that first plague.
00:40:23.08\00:40:27.22
"The second angel poured out
his vial... " the record says,
00:40:27.26\00:40:31.33
"upon the sea... "
00:40:31.36\00:40:32.69
We're talking about the
waterways of the world...
00:40:38.03\00:40:40.27
they will be corrupted by the
stench of blood of a dead man.
00:40:40.30\00:40:46.71
Pause...
00:40:46.74\00:40:48.34
Folks, that's going to
interfere with shipping...
00:40:48.38\00:40:51.21
pause...
00:40:51.25\00:40:52.61
that's going to
interfere with our ecosystem.
00:40:52.65\00:40:55.82
Folks, if just the sea
warming up is causing havoc,
00:40:55.85\00:41:01.19
what's going to happen
when it turns to blood?
00:41:01.22\00:41:04.93
Pause...
00:41:04.96\00:41:06.39
The record goes on to say...
00:41:06.43\00:41:07.76
In other words, now, he's
not talking about salt water
00:41:12.70\00:41:15.44
that covers
two-thirds of the earth
00:41:15.47\00:41:17.07
but he's talking
about the fresh water
00:41:17.11\00:41:18.81
and Folks, when you
look at Planet Earth,
00:41:18.84\00:41:20.24
97 percent of the water
on the earth is salt water,
00:41:20.28\00:41:22.94
3 percent of it is fresh water
00:41:22.98\00:41:24.88
with our lakes and our rivers
00:41:24.91\00:41:26.75
and Folks, out of
that three percent,
00:41:26.78\00:41:28.38
two percent of that is frozen
in the North and South Poles.
00:41:28.42\00:41:32.35
Pause...
00:41:32.42\00:41:34.02
The one percent that is
left is the water we drink.
00:41:34.06\00:41:37.83
Pause...
00:41:37.86\00:41:39.43
And the Bible says, it
will be turned to blood.
00:41:39.46\00:41:44.00
Now Folks, that sounds gross...
00:41:44.03\00:41:47.37
it sounds gross...
00:41:47.40\00:41:50.81
pause...
00:41:50.84\00:41:52.54
it sounds frightening,
00:41:52.57\00:41:53.91
and I don't know about you
00:41:53.94\00:41:55.71
but when there's
no water in the house,
00:41:55.74\00:41:57.08
that's when I'm thirsty.
00:41:57.11\00:41:58.45
Audience: Laughing.
00:41:58.48\00:41:59.81
How many of you know
what I'm talking about...
00:41:59.85\00:42:01.28
at home... you know, when
there's water in the house,
00:42:01.32\00:42:03.65
you don't want to drink
it, you make yourself drink it
00:42:03.69\00:42:05.99
and Folks, you should drink
water before you go to sleep,
00:42:06.05\00:42:08.12
I read somewhere that if
you drink a bottle of water
00:42:08.16\00:42:10.83
before you go to sleep
00:42:10.86\00:42:12.19
it cuts your risk of
heart attack by 50 percent.
00:42:12.23\00:42:16.20
That's what I heard, I
don't know how true it is,
00:42:16.23\00:42:18.53
you could write in and
tell me about that, Doctors,
00:42:18.57\00:42:20.54
but that's what they say,
I drink it, just in case...
00:42:20.60\00:42:23.24
I'd rather be right...
hello, I want to wake up...
00:42:23.27\00:42:25.87
Audience: Laughing... "Amen... "
00:42:25.91\00:42:28.94
But when you don't have
water, that's when you want it.
00:42:28.98\00:42:31.98
The song says,
00:42:32.01\00:42:33.35
"You never miss your
water till your well runs dry"
00:42:33.38\00:42:35.42
isn't that right?
00:42:35.45\00:42:36.89
Okay, so when you look at
that, Ladies and Gentlemen
00:42:36.92\00:42:39.85
and you see it all turning blood
00:42:39.89\00:42:42.26
and, and, and... you see the
thirst that it's going produce
00:42:42.29\00:42:45.26
on Planet Earth,
00:42:45.29\00:42:47.36
you have to
remember as a child of God,
00:42:47.40\00:42:50.17
and the Bible
again... Romans 15 verse 4...
00:42:50.20\00:42:52.30
"whatsoever
things happened aforetime
00:42:52.33\00:42:53.84
were written for our learning,
that we through patience
00:42:53.87\00:42:55.90
and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope. "
00:42:55.94\00:42:57.87
When I go back to my
Bible, and I read it in Exodus 7
00:42:57.91\00:43:00.88
and I read verses 19 through 25,
00:43:00.91\00:43:03.04
I see that this
happened before...
00:43:03.11\00:43:05.18
that the Lord
turned the water to blood
00:43:05.21\00:43:07.78
but the children
of Israel had water
00:43:07.82\00:43:10.35
and the Egyptians had blood.
00:43:10.39\00:43:12.52
Audience: "Amen. "
00:43:12.55\00:43:13.89
Isaiah 33 verse 16 tells us...
our bread and our water is sure.
00:43:13.92\00:43:21.43
In other words, don't worry
about these material things,
00:43:21.46\00:43:23.83
God cares and
will take care of us.
00:43:23.87\00:43:27.30
Audience: "Amen. "
00:43:27.34\00:43:28.67
The Record says, "And I heard
the angels of the waters say,
00:43:28.70\00:43:30.41
Thou art righteous, O
Lord, which art, and wast,
00:43:30.44\00:43:32.44
and shall be, because
thou hast judged thus.
00:43:32.47\00:43:34.41
For they have shed the
blood of saints and prophets,
00:43:34.44\00:43:36.75
and thou hast given
them blood to drink;
00:43:36.78\00:43:39.21
for they are worthy.
00:43:39.25\00:43:40.58
And I heard another
out of the altar say,
00:43:40.62\00:43:43.95
Even so, Lord God Almighty,
00:43:43.99\00:43:45.45
true and
righteous are thy judgments.
00:43:45.49\00:43:47.86
And the fourth angel poured
out his vial upon the sun...
00:43:47.89\00:43:50.66
They couldn't... it
was too late for them...
00:44:02.50\00:44:04.64
the Holy Spirit had left them...
00:44:04.67\00:44:06.61
Planet Earth is going to be
a mess, Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:44:06.64\00:44:10.51
you think it's
bad... no wonder Jesus said,
00:44:10.55\00:44:12.45
that these are just
the beginning of sorrows,
00:44:12.48\00:44:14.35
it's going to get worse...
00:44:14.38\00:44:15.72
men with the
pestilence upon them...
00:44:15.75\00:44:19.22
the waters, ocean and
fresh... turning to blood
00:44:19.25\00:44:23.16
and now the sun
burning mankind, and Folks,
00:44:23.19\00:44:27.03
we know that we have to
be careful with the sun now
00:44:27.06\00:44:29.03
because of the Ozone Layer
00:44:29.06\00:44:30.40
with what we have
done with pollution
00:44:30.43\00:44:32.27
has caused the
rays to come through
00:44:32.30\00:44:34.37
and causing all types of cancers
00:44:34.40\00:44:36.77
but this will be more magnified
00:44:36.81\00:44:39.07
because they have
called upon the sun god
00:44:39.11\00:44:41.74
and they have worshipped him
00:44:41.78\00:44:44.05
and they will
receive their just reward.
00:44:44.08\00:44:46.51
All of a sudden now, there's
no more sun... no more heat,
00:44:55.72\00:44:58.19
it's turned to this blackness
00:44:58.23\00:44:59.89
where they cannot see
and, Ladies and Gentlemen...
00:44:59.93\00:45:02.33
the cold that comes with
it... and men... it said...
00:45:02.36\00:45:04.77
"they blasphemed
the God of heaven...
00:45:04.80\00:45:06.53
Now here's where some
people really get mixed up...
00:45:17.98\00:45:19.78
it says...
00:45:19.81\00:45:21.22
Folks, all that
it's talking about
00:45:28.02\00:45:29.96
the mouth of the dragon...
00:45:29.99\00:45:31.33
that's the devil
and spiritualism...
00:45:31.36\00:45:33.29
the Mark of the Beast... that's
Catholicism and the Papacy
00:45:33.33\00:45:36.67
we're not talking about people,
we're talking about the System
00:45:36.70\00:45:40.00
and it says, "Out of the
mouth of the False Prophet... "
00:45:40.04\00:45:42.50
it's talking about
Apostate Protestantism
00:45:42.54\00:45:45.04
that first pulled out from
Rome but then allowed the errors
00:45:45.07\00:45:50.05
to stay within her even
in the light of the truth.
00:45:50.08\00:45:53.11
Pause...
00:45:53.15\00:45:54.98
And it says...
00:45:55.02\00:45:56.35
Ladies and Gentlemen,
this three-fold union of evil
00:46:05.09\00:46:08.83
will come forward to
attack the children of God...
00:46:08.86\00:46:12.53
to destroy them...
to take their lives...
00:46:12.57\00:46:14.40
to fulfill what is written
in Revelation 13 verse 15.
00:46:14.44\00:46:20.34
Turn with me,
Revelation 13 verse 15...
00:46:20.38\00:46:23.41
"And he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast,
00:46:23.45\00:46:27.42
that the image of the
beast should both speak,
00:46:27.45\00:46:30.69
and cause as many as
would not worship the beast
00:46:30.72\00:46:33.96
that they should be killed.
00:46:33.99\00:46:35.62
And he causeth all,
both small and great,
00:46:35.66\00:46:39.19
rich and poor, free and bond,
00:46:39.23\00:46:40.56
to receive a mark in their right
hand, or in their foreheads:
00:46:40.60\00:46:43.20
And that no man
might buy or sell
00:46:43.23\00:46:45.47
save he that has the
mark, or the name of the beast,
00:46:45.50\00:46:50.07
or the number of his name. "
00:46:50.11\00:46:51.71
So we see these three
forces will come together
00:46:51.74\00:46:55.84
to come up against
the children of God.
00:46:55.88\00:46:58.58
It will be a universal...
or a worldwide movement
00:46:58.61\00:47:02.22
to eradicate the saints of
God from off the Planet Earth.
00:47:02.25\00:47:05.95
In other words,
00:47:05.99\00:47:07.32
they want to destroy
us, they're going to say,
00:47:07.36\00:47:09.06
"We're the ones that
have caused these problems"
00:47:09.09\00:47:11.29
because we would not
receive the Mark of the Beast
00:47:11.33\00:47:13.46
but we have the
Seal of the Living God
00:47:13.50\00:47:15.66
and it will be as
though all of Society
00:47:15.70\00:47:17.80
is against the children of God
and this scene... John saw...
00:47:17.83\00:47:21.54
and I can imagine his eyes
were growing wide and he was
00:47:21.57\00:47:24.64
feeling a little nervous
and his heart was beating faster
00:47:24.67\00:47:27.74
and then Jesus
throws in this commercial
00:47:27.78\00:47:29.84
and that's what I
love about my Jesus,
00:47:29.88\00:47:31.85
when we get
stressed... a little nervous...
00:47:31.88\00:47:33.68
He always brings us the Word,
00:47:33.72\00:47:35.05
then, if you look at verse
15, it's like a commercial...
00:47:35.08\00:47:37.29
it said, "Behold,
I come as a thief. "
00:47:37.32\00:47:39.35
Pause...
00:47:39.39\00:47:41.16
they're all lined up around us,
00:47:41.19\00:47:42.72
"Behold I come as a thief,
blessed is he that watcheth,
00:47:42.76\00:47:45.73
and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked,
00:47:45.79\00:47:48.20
and they see his shame. "
00:47:48.23\00:47:50.73
In other words, just hold on...
00:47:50.77\00:47:53.27
Audience: "Amen... amen. "
00:47:53.30\00:47:55.90
Friends, when you
do the mathematics,
00:48:37.65\00:48:39.55
that hail stone... each
one... a weight of a talent,
00:48:39.58\00:48:43.15
it's approximately 66 pounds.
00:48:43.18\00:48:46.19
Pause...
00:48:46.22\00:48:48.09
Ice falling from
heaven... 66 pounds...
00:48:48.12\00:48:51.83
causing destruction...
00:48:51.89\00:48:54.40
causing wrath...
00:48:54.43\00:48:56.06
causing the wrath of God
to be poured out on mankind
00:48:56.10\00:49:00.57
but guess what?
00:49:00.60\00:49:02.40
My Bible tells me, He
knows how to keep us...
00:49:02.47\00:49:05.44
turn to Psalm 91...
look at this thing...
00:49:05.47\00:49:08.44
the Bible is
its own expositor...
00:49:08.48\00:49:10.38
and each part of it tells
us about different parts of it
00:49:10.41\00:49:12.71
and they are all
interwoven, watch this...
00:49:12.75\00:49:14.85
you may not have
ever seen this before,
00:49:14.88\00:49:16.95
but this will let you know
00:49:16.99\00:49:18.42
that God will keep
us through the plagues
00:49:18.45\00:49:20.62
it says in verse 1,
00:49:20.66\00:49:22.02
"He that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most High
00:49:22.06\00:49:24.26
shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty.
00:49:24.33\00:49:27.53
I will say of the LORD, He
is my refuge and my fortress:
00:49:27.56\00:49:31.73
my God; in whom I will trust.
00:49:31.77\00:49:33.67
Surely he will deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler,
00:49:33.70\00:49:37.94
and from the
noisome pestilence. "
00:49:37.97\00:49:40.24
Sounds like the first plague...
00:49:40.28\00:49:42.48
"He shall cover
thee with his feathers,
00:49:42.51\00:49:45.51
and under his
wings shalt thou trust:
00:49:45.55\00:49:48.48
his truth shall be
thy shield and buckler. "
00:49:48.52\00:49:51.52
Because we've kept
the truth in our hearts,
00:49:51.55\00:49:54.52
we won't receive the plagues.
00:49:54.56\00:49:55.92
Audience: "Amen. "
00:49:55.96\00:49:57.29
He says, "Thou shalt not be
afraid of the terror by night"
00:49:57.33\00:50:00.40
that's the darkness...
00:50:00.43\00:50:01.76
"nor for the arrow
that flieth by day... "
00:50:01.80\00:50:04.40
that's them
lining up against us...
00:50:04.43\00:50:06.23
"nor for the pestilence
that walketh in darkness;
00:50:06.27\00:50:09.64
nor for the destruction
that wasteth at noonday. "
00:50:09.70\00:50:13.04
That sounds like
the fourth plague...
00:50:13.07\00:50:15.01
when the sun is
burning folks up,
00:50:15.04\00:50:16.88
verse 7... "A thousand
shall fall at thy side,
00:50:16.91\00:50:20.82
and ten thousand
at thy right hand;
00:50:20.85\00:50:23.42
but it shall not
come nigh thee. "
00:50:23.45\00:50:25.95
When they are coming after
us and those hailstones come,
00:50:25.99\00:50:29.12
we will see them
being destroyed...
00:50:29.16\00:50:31.29
but He will keep His people...
00:50:31.33\00:50:33.66
because God is God alone...
00:50:33.70\00:50:35.16
Audience loudly:
"Amen... amen... amen... "
00:50:35.20\00:50:37.43
"Only with thine
eyes shalt thou behold
00:50:37.47\00:50:39.50
and see the
reward of the wicked. "
00:50:39.53\00:50:41.47
In other words, we'll be
like we're watching a movie...
00:50:41.50\00:50:43.81
something's just going on
all around us... and He says,
00:50:43.87\00:50:46.27
"Because thou has made
the LORD, which is my refuge,
00:50:46.31\00:50:48.68
even the most
High, thy habitation;
00:50:48.74\00:50:51.35
There shall no
evil... " verse 10...
00:50:51.38\00:50:53.85
Audience: "Amen, amen, amen. "
00:51:01.52\00:51:03.76
Don't you worry
about those plagues,
00:51:03.79\00:51:06.56
just make sure
you're right with God.
00:51:06.59\00:51:09.36
Audience: "Amen. "
00:51:09.40\00:51:10.73
And He'll keep you... because
that's the kind of God He is.
00:51:10.77\00:51:14.74
Piano playing...
00:51:14.77\00:51:19.44
I trust in God
00:51:19.47\00:51:23.04
wherever I may be...
00:51:23.11\00:51:28.75
Upon the land...
00:51:28.78\00:51:34.39
or on the rolling sea,
00:51:34.42\00:51:41.06
For come what may,
00:51:41.10\00:51:47.20
from day to day...
00:51:47.24\00:51:52.51
my heavenly Father
00:51:52.54\00:51:59.21
watches over me...
00:51:59.25\00:52:08.02
I trust in God
00:52:08.06\00:52:12.09
I know He cares for me
00:52:12.13\00:52:17.57
on mountain bleak
00:52:17.60\00:52:23.67
or on the rolling sea
00:52:23.71\00:52:29.64
Though billows roll
00:52:29.71\00:52:35.78
He keeps my soul...
00:52:35.82\00:52:40.72
my Heavenly Father
00:52:40.76\00:52:45.63
watches over
00:52:45.66\00:52:50.87
me...
00:52:50.90\00:52:54.27
The valley may be dark,
00:52:54.30\00:53:00.74
the shadows deep
00:53:00.78\00:53:05.78
but oh my Shepherd
00:53:05.81\00:53:10.79
guards His lonely sheep
00:53:10.82\00:53:17.26
and through the gloom
00:53:17.29\00:53:23.73
He leads me home
00:53:23.77\00:53:29.77
my Heavenly Father watches over
00:53:29.80\00:53:38.35
me...
00:53:38.38\00:53:42.35
I trust in God
00:53:42.38\00:53:47.09
I know He cares for me
00:53:47.12\00:53:53.66
on mountain bleak
00:53:53.70\00:53:57.80
or on the rolling sea...
00:53:57.83\00:54:04.44
though billows roll
00:54:04.47\00:54:10.51
He keeps my soul...
00:54:10.55\00:54:16.55
my heavenly Father
00:54:16.58\00:54:21.22
watches over
00:54:21.26\00:54:26.86
me...
00:54:26.90\00:54:29.76
Audience: "Amen. "
00:54:29.80\00:54:34.54
Friends, our Heavenly
Father... He watches over us.
00:54:34.57\00:54:38.11
The eyes of the
Lord are in every place
00:54:38.14\00:54:41.54
beholding the evil and the good
00:54:41.58\00:54:44.55
Proverbs 15 verse 3,
00:54:44.58\00:54:46.92
but folks, He's not
watching over us to destroy us,
00:54:46.95\00:54:51.45
He's watching
over us to save us.
00:54:51.49\00:54:54.92
Audience: "Amen. "
00:54:54.96\00:54:56.29
And tonight in
light of this message,
00:54:56.32\00:54:58.26
I want you to make a
commitment to the King
00:54:58.29\00:55:02.33
first of all, I want us to admit
00:55:02.36\00:55:06.00
that we need His watch care,
00:55:06.03\00:55:08.20
do you need His watch care?
00:55:08.24\00:55:10.37
just raise your
hand... we need Him...
00:55:10.41\00:55:11.94
and then secondly...
00:55:11.97\00:55:15.34
I want us to ask Him, say,
00:55:15.38\00:55:18.35
"Lord, keep us because
we cannot keep ourselves
00:55:18.38\00:55:22.78
in this great
controversy called life... "
00:55:22.82\00:55:25.02
if that's your desire
just raise your hand...
00:55:25.05\00:55:27.22
you can't keep yourself...
and you want Him there...
00:55:27.26\00:55:29.22
and now I want to be a
little more specific...
00:55:29.26\00:55:33.09
pause...
00:55:33.13\00:55:34.76
I want us to ask the Lord,
00:55:34.83\00:55:37.37
if we are going to live through
these seven last plagues...
00:55:37.40\00:55:42.24
pause...
00:55:42.30\00:55:43.64
that we would be more
aware of our surroundings
00:55:43.67\00:55:46.21
and where we are in
our spiritual things...
00:55:46.24\00:55:48.84
and we need His help to keep us
00:55:48.88\00:55:52.11
during these hours of probation
00:55:52.15\00:55:55.28
if that's your desire...
just stand to your feet...
00:55:55.32\00:55:58.05
even at home...
00:55:58.09\00:55:59.89
say, "Lord, I
need you to help me
00:55:59.92\00:56:02.89
through these hours of probation
00:56:02.92\00:56:05.86
that I might be ready... "
00:56:05.89\00:56:07.66
now some of you who are at home,
00:56:07.70\00:56:10.70
you've been hearing these
things for the very first time,
00:56:10.73\00:56:14.37
and you want to know more about
the truth of the Living God,
00:56:14.40\00:56:18.01
Folks, if you have
internet, you can just go on:
00:56:18.04\00:56:21.94
www. sda. org
00:56:21.98\00:56:24.61
and you can
navigate through that
00:56:24.65\00:56:27.08
and find a
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:56:27.12\00:56:30.69
around you...
wherever you are...
00:56:30.72\00:56:33.46
whatever country...
00:56:33.49\00:56:34.82
because God has
blessed us for that.
00:56:34.86\00:56:37.36
Tonight, we stand to our feet
00:56:37.39\00:56:41.43
because we want Jesus to
have control of our lives,
00:56:41.46\00:56:43.93
let us live up to
the light that we have
