God has been blowing my mind but I can't tell you that's cruel isn't it thank you you know Jesus made this statement John 15 he said I had many things to say unto you but you can't bear them now and I promise you this one still can't wrap my brain fully around it but this much I can tell you Jesus is the way the truth and the life the Creator of the heavens and the Earth he is God manifested in the flesh he's not a god he's not part of the truth he is the truth and the word of God I don't care how many critics come against it I don't care how many preachers throw it out the door I don't care how many Christians say well I believe this but I don't believe that I don't care what they say I'm telling you this book right here every job every till every syllable every letter every word is inspired by the Creator have no doubts about that and even if you go 20 or 30 years and you know God I don't understand this it doesn't make sense to me if you keep seeking him and you keep studying and you keep praying and you keep going after God and hungering for truth he will reveal it amen I've learned that much about him turn to Colossians this morning chapter 3 there's so much I want to say well maybe I can get there myself Colossians chapter 3. 3 everybody there there's so much here actually before we we read this in Colossians see let's go back up to Colossians chapter 2 verse 1. Paul speaking here by the Holy Ghost says for I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you and for them at laodicea for as many as have not seen my place in the flesh now when Paul was saying this when he's saying if you knew to the Colossians What conflict I have and for you and for them at laodicea the conflict or the struggle going on in Paul was because the Colossians were being deceived by the philosophies and doctrines of men and we all know what happened to the Church of laodicea because Jesus revealed it in John I mean in Revelation to John Rather in Revelation 3 that they
had become lukewarm and so long before we get to what Jesus said to the church at laodicea probably about 30 years or so maybe a little less we see Paul saying I have a great conflict going on inside of me for you um true men of God through women of God true Ministers of the Gospel they long truly long for one thing that the children of God the people of God would walk in the truth of God's word obey it live it believe it operate in it and stay faithful to it make it to heaven that's the longing desire and it should be the longing desire of every Christian you know I'm entitled this message today don't miss heaven but it's so much more than that because heaven is all about Jesus it's all about being with him for all eternity he has prepared for us a place with him he said that have not even entered into our hearts and Minds we cannot even fathom the things that God has prepared for those that love him we can't even fathom Heaven yes we have a little bit of some descriptors in the Bible and we have people that have had Visions I've seen visions of Heaven several but I still believe I haven't even seen not even a little bit of what God has for us and can I just say this real simple there is there is nothing on this Earth there is no sinful pleasure there is no lust there is there is no Rebellion there's no sin there's nothing no person on the earth that is worth losing out being with Jesus being in heaven for all eternity nothing because I promise you what little bit you know about him now you're going to be blown away for all eternity there is nothing here worth missing out on this and Paul was struggling he had a conflict in him because he knew that the colossian church he knew that the laodicean church he knew that many of them were basically going to fall away through the philosophies and doctrines of men many of them were going to fall into Warmness and be spewed out of of Jesus body out of his mouth and and so in his heart he had a great burden for the church for the people of God that they would they would not Fall Away and they would not miss out on heaven let's read on he says
for I would that you knew what great conflict I have for you and for them at laodicea for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh that their hearts might be comforted being knit together in love and unto all Riches of the fullness of the full Assurance of understanding listen to this to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God and of the father and of Christ in whom are he had all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and this I say lest any man beguile you deceive you with enticing words he said for though I be absent In the Flesh and I am with you in the spirit joy and beholding your order and steadfastness of your faith in Christ as you have received as you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk ye in him rooted and built up in him and established in the faith as you have been taught abounding therein with Thanksgiving beware lest any man spoil you through the philosophy or through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ for in him that is in Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead bodily now this passage itself is just simply powerful but let's read let's jump over to chapter 3 and read verse 1 here a few verses he says if you then be risen with Christ seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God set your affection your passion your desires on things above not on things on the Earth for you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God when Christ who is our life shall appear then shall you also appear with him in glory therefore for that reason if you want that mortify kill crucify Therefore your members your body that wants to sin on the in the earth he says mortify Therefore your members which are upon the Earth fornication all sexual immorality uncleanness inordinate affection evil concupiscence covetousness which is idolatry for which things take the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience in which he also walks sometime when you lived in them now we could just read on and on here but today I just want to bring out this truth God wants us the conflict that Paul had for his these two churches these people these Christians he said that they would be knit together in love unto all Riches of the full Assurance of
understanding to the acknowledgment of the mystery and then he goes on to say speaking of Jesus he says in whom are HID all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge can I just say to you this day that most all of the world lies in darkness spiritual darkness and the deception and lies of Satan in the Fallen Angels and most of you don't even know it you're Christian but a lot of you believe things that didn't come from God they're not in his word you've been lied to and you believe it some of it you were taught in school some of it you were taught in college folks there is no wisdom or counsel or understanding I don't care if it comes from NASA Auburn University Georgia Tech there is no wisdom or counsel or understanding that is against the Lord or this book and what's so beautiful about it is is that the Lord wants us all to know the truth about everything you know what's so funny I can look back on my years as a Christian when I was in my 20s and 30s and I thought I knew something yes I knew Jesus yes I was baptized in the Holy Spirit the evidence of speaking another tongues yes I saw people healed miraculously yes I kept demons out of people and saw people set free from demonic possession and oppression and everything else and still do LED people to Jesus that are still saved to this day the Ministers of the Gospel now led them to Jesus led them to the baptism the Holy Spirit I thought I was something I really thought I was something I thought I knew something let me tell you the last few years of my life some of you have been able to witness some of these things God had to show me I know you thought you were right about that but you weren't here's what the truth of my word says here's what's always been written there and you didn't see it can I just say that Pride our pride and thinking we know something really a lot of times blinds us to what's really written in the scriptures
it really does I know what blows my mind is when I'm now I'm reading something or I'm studying something or I'm researching something and and and the scriptures began to just open up and I go how did I never see this I read this passage you know a hundred times 500 times how many times I've read it and read it and read it and read it and I thought it meant this and I thought it was about this and I find out it was none of that I remember years ago I thought I understood revelation now I can actually say I got a pretty good grip on it and I was wrong on a lot of it back then we need to be a people humble enough to say there are some mysteries of God that we don't know about yet not that they're not written in scripture they're there they just veiled to our eyes a lot of times because either God knows we can't bear them at a certain time or because we don't spend enough time with him let him reveal them to us but there are Mysteries there are Hidden Treasures of wisdom and knowledge of Jesus and and let me just say this it's not just about gaining knowledge because as you as as these Mysteries are revealed of him as these truths and these Hidden Treasures of wisdom and knowledge are truly revealed to you by the spirit as you're studying his word reading it it causes you to love him more it causes you to see that he is the way the truth the life that there's no truly no other God or being like our God so I'm not saying this just for the sake of pursuit of understanding Mysteries or just trying to gain knowledge that other churches or other Christians don't have I'm just saying that as you pursue him and you seek Revelation and understanding and as you're willing to accept then maybe you were wrong about some things before you're going to grow and you're going to grow in your faith I know the more that I realize where science and scientists have lied to us and God's word is true and it's always been true it only makes my faith in him stronger and stronger and stronger let me tell you something I think a lot of Christians that do make it to heaven when they stand at the Judgment seat of Christ one of the things that they're going to regret the most is the time wasted on foolishness when they could have been seeking after
God studying his word meditating and receiving revelation of these Mysteries and Hidden Treasures of wisdom and knowledge and let me just say this too God wants to give you Revelation and understanding of the mysteries of creation of the of the both the physical creation and of the spirit realm he wants to give it to you so you can give it to somebody else so you can set somebody else free remember it is the truth Jesus said that sets us free it sets us free from the lies of Satan and all of his people it sets us free listen lies if you believe lies whenever you believe something contrary to the scriptures you begin to lose Faith it's like poking a hole in the bottom of the boat or poking the hole in the balloon it's going to lose air the more you believe a lie and that's why Jesus said if you continue in my word John 8. 31 32 he said to the Jews that believed on him the word believed saving Faith believes he said to the Jews I believe if if if you continue in my word then you will know the truth and the truth will make you free I tell people all the time you want to know why I know the truth and I'm I'm fully persuaded about the ones they've always say lie that's out there that you are once saved always saved no matter how you live you want to know why I'm convinced of that because I spent hours upon hours upon hours sometimes 10 hours a day when I was a young man instead of goofing off and going to movies and playing video games I was studying the Bible I was reading the Bible I was studying it and God began to show it to me all over the truth when I was in my 20s and that truth that truth has set many people free from the light of continuing in sin and thinking they're going to heaven but if I hadn't paid the price to get to understanding the Revelation the foundation of God's word from Genesis to the mass on that subject I could have been shaken I could have been persuaded by somebody's false theology some of those guys that I led to the Lord over 20 years ago that are saved to this day that are ministers of the Gospel to this day we had we had Baptist people come in after I led them to Jesus and try to get feed them that false Doctrine that once they were saved and so they went back to drinking and smoking dope sleeping with a girlfriend fornication
and I had to show them I had to show them clearly here's what the word says I kept giving them words even even they cussed me out my best friends that I've led to Jesus and the baptism in the Holy Spirit started cussing me out because you know their Baptist friends told them that they could you know still drink smoke dope and sleep their girlfriends they want saved always say God understands that's what they need to do but I had to come along and show them differently and if I hadn't have known the truth if I hadn't been established in the truth of God's word and willing to stand upon it and share it boldly and even make them angry at me they would not be walking with God this day and all the people that they've ministered to and led to Jesus and discipled wouldn't happen and I'm just sharing this to say You must be willing to pay the price to get the knowledge and the wisdom and the understanding and the revelation of God's word in you for yourself for your own relationship with Jesus and so you can adequately help others listen there's a lot of people out there that that you can't just tell them that Jesus loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life that's not going to work I've heard that and though it may be maybe in in general people need specifics and now we have no problem folks there was an all-out full court press by everyone in the media everyone in politics and World governments even within the church World from Rick Warren to to uh what's teeth guy Joel Osteen even T.D Jakes there is this push God loves us so everything's okay you find your own way your own belief even the Pope's doing it blind devil and let me just tell you I don't care Andy you know this and he's about to be Dr handy PhD let me just tell you some of the stuff you learned isn't right we got a bunch of phds telling us uh that came from Satan that's one good thing so you can have that beside your name and tell them the right way
they said but much of what you guys think about the world what you learn in history about the Earth about the cosmos about history not even right but not even true we got people that have phds in life evolution that's laughable it's not even mathematically possible but if you say different about it you're the crazy according to that because there is a heaven it's a real play there is a hell that's a real play somebody posted this this was funny the other day I saved it in my phone I think the picture hadn't posted yet you know the rock and roll songs it's funny that it says there's a stairway to heaven and a Highway to Hell I guess even the wicked understand that there's the different amount of traffic that's going to be headed in which direction Jesus said narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be to find it why is the gay wide is the way that leads to destruction and many will go in there are some of you sitting in this room in this room that if you don't get it together and get serious about Jesus you will not be in heaven when you die or when Jesus comes because you're still in love with things in this world their sins you won't let go of there's Idols you won't turn so I'm listening to me right now hundreds of people now listen every week but the sad truth is that many of them will hear the truth that they must believe in Jesus Christ to be saved they must believe that he died on the cross and that his blood was an
atonement for sin they must believe in their heart that he was raised from the dead and they must turn from their own sin and their own plans and their own will surrender to the lordship of Jesus there's a lot of people a lot of people right now a lot of people go try me on this test me out walk out there in the world walk out on the street and start asking people the simple question do you think you'll go to heaven when you die I have a question first of all do you believe there's a heaven most people most I would say 90 percent of people say yeah okay second question do you believe you will go to heaven when you die most people I believe almost probably 90 percent will say oh yeah the real question though is the next one why do you think you'll go to hell that's when it gets interesting well I'm not you know I believe in Jesus a lot of people will say that I believe in Jesus and you know the Baptist preacher told me that's all I had to do I heard it this week let's believe in Jesus oh well I believe in God I believe in God I believe there's in the Creator I don't know who what his name is I believe him and I'm I'm a pretty good person I'm not that bad or like Oprah just do good help people love peace that's enough doesn't matter what you call God doesn't matter what religion you are what way you choose or what path you choose sounds nice but but the truth of God's word says there is only one God and one way one God one way this when you stand for this truth is when you bring the persecution on yourself if you if you don't want persecution you will say things like yeah Jesus loves everybody you have Jesus died for everybody nobody has a problem with that but once you say unless you believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead unless you're willing to repent and Obey God's word the moment you say that and you and you say if you don't you will not inherit eternal life you will not go to heaven you will go to hell and burn in torment forever that's
what brings the persecution and this entire world is under that all of you are going to be faced to make the choice will you stand for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ or will you stand full of Oprah the United Nations TD Jake Joel Osteen Rick Warren the Pope you you will decide but I can tell you this much if you're willing to stand for the truth about the true Jesus and the truth about a real heaven and a real hell and the truth about what it takes to make it there if you will stand up for that and be faithful to that and seek God and study that Bible and go after him he will take you deeper and deeper and deeper and he will show you things that will absolutely blow your mind you hear me well why they even said it this morning he said honey you start sharing that stuff and they they already think great they think I'm crazy people think I'm crazy because I don't believe in the pre-trib action they think I'm crazy because I don't believe you're eternally secure no matter how you live they think I'm crazy that I believe a Christian can have a demon all things that I can prove in scripture and have seen with my own eyes but they still think I'm crazy there's people who won't set foot in this church or in any meeting we do simply over the pre-trib Rapture issue and when you put all those things together they think that's one crazy radical nut creature over there my God Carol he doesn't even like Joel Osteen what's wrong with it I got one friend that I went to school with went to college with was in my fraternity he won't have anything to do with me because he loves Joel and I told him the truth about Joe you know if you're gonna go on Larry King live on CNN
and say didn't matter which you know if you're Hindu or Buddhist or Mormon or whatever and you're still going to heaven when you die I'm sorry I didn't do that to Joel Joel did that to himself but you know what how many creatures we'll say it the gospel right now we could say this the gospel the true gospel is under attack but I got news for him the gospel is the power of God so guess what you can be on the side of the attack join the crowd or you could be on the side of the power of God because the gospel is all about Jesus and Jesus is coming back to deal with these even you know I'm convinced that most of them know that too they're scared do you know that some of these Elites these globalists these luciferians One World One World Government one world religion do you know that they some of them actually do believe in our God and that he's coming back and they believe that they're going to develop the technology to kill God why do you think they're going to gather the armies are going to gather in Israel it says to fight the lamb not to fight Israel why are they going there because they know that's where the Bible says that he's going to set his feet down on the Mount of Olives that's why they're going there and that's what CERN is about do you know that CERN the real truth is that they're trying to find a subatomic particle that they believe will be powerful enough to destroy God that's the real truth and think about this folks all the governments of the world are contributing tens of millions billions of dollars to CERN and this Collider and they're doing all these experiments trying to find what do they call them strangely see see Higgs boson or whatever that particle that's all News man quarks that's old news we gotta find something else and they're
looking for these things that when they Collide these protons together these very smaller subatomic particles break off and and they are these things called strangelets and you know what strangelets are the most powerful explosives that man can get now think about this let me just share this with you you want to talk about bible stuff the magnets that are in sir right that bend that being and keep it going in a circle at near the speed of light those magnets send off an electromagnetic pulse through the Earth they've pretty well proven that when that thing's cranked up earthquake activity increase they don't even know ing what they're releasing when they Collide these different protons but we know that neutrinos and quarks and all these other subatomic travel through the Earth all the way through and the electromagnetic wave travels through the Earth and other physicists have said that this machine being the largest machine ever made by man the most powerful machine ever ever made by man there are unsaved non-Christian scientists think this thing could destroy the Earth not a good idea to crank it up maybe the full power and I read in the Book of Revelation chapter 16. chapter nine I can't remember now with me look at it for me believe in me but God makes this one little simple phrase he says he's coming back to destroy those who are destroying the Earth having anything to do with littering with plastic drinking bottles literally the word destroy there means those who are demolishing the Earth and right now there's only two ways to do that truly destroyed Earth completely sir and a nuclear war think about that and these Mad Men are pushing us toward Bible and Jesus made this statement in Matthew 24 he said if he did not cut those days short no flesh would be saved and that's just one thing that's happened
just one thing I am more convinced than I've ever been in my life that we are entering the Great Tribulation period that we are entering the last years of this Earth and this world as we know it and that Jesus Christ our creator Our God our savior the one who died and rose from the dead the one who went down into hell and got the keys of hell and death the one who made this planet he was in the world and the world was made by him but the world knew him not in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and we beheld his glory that's saying Jesus they said on the day he ascended to heaven the Angels stood there and said they're saying Jesus which you see going into heaven will so come in like manner as you've seen him go he is coming back to this Earth but before he comes back we're going through some dark and difficult days and many will die the question is going to be are you truly going to be ready to meet your death the day of your death or the day of his return whichever you reach first are you going to be ready is he number one in your life do you love Jesus with all your heart soul mind and strength do you love his word do you love the truth do you hate sin do you hate it when you mess up and you see it and you fall do you hate sin unless righteous you will stand before Judgment Day everything you have done you will give an account how you lived your life some will hear enter into the joy of thy Lord and some will hear depart from me you curse it in Everlasting fire these are the simple truth of the word of God quit playing game get off the fence quit being lukewarm quit being silent and worrying about what people think of you speak the truth it was a parable of the talent foreign you can turn there if you want but I just I just want to talk to you about it I know I'm picking on Baptist but it's easy to do I'm picking on Roman Catholics too so all right I pick on everybody Presbyterians Calvinists charismatic Pentecostal that's right
I pick on myself too brother foreign but he says there this Parable and I was going to say picking on my Baptist friend you know they come back this is talking about your talents to play the piano no it's not my God help us Jesus has got nothing to do with whether you can play the piano or not the parable says Kingdom of Heaven the man giving to his servants traveling to a fall country into one servant he gave five talents of money to another he gave two to another he gave one everybody knows this story right here's what we meant let me turn there we missed some very important truth here let's just read it Matthew 25 14 for the Kingdom of Heaven is as a man traveling into a far country everybody say this with me who called his own servants the wicked the unsaved for the Kingdom of Heaven is as a man traveling into a far country who called his own servants and delivered unto them his Goods what does Jesus give us is it about money is this parable about really about money what do you want from God more than money I know what I want from God more than money grace mercy forgiveness is presence him for the Kingdom of Heaven is a man traveling into a far country who called his own service and delivered unto them his Goods he doesn't give his Goods to the unsaved to the wicked to the children of the devil and under one he gave five talents into another two into another one to every man according to his several ability and straightway took his journey then he that he received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other five talents and likewise he that received the two he also gained other two but he that had received the one went and digged in the earth and hid everybody say this his Lords money is Lord Jesus was his Lord ouch after a long time say two thousand years the Lord of those servants cometh and reckon it with them that's the Judgment fee the Judgment seat of Christ not the Judgment of the Wicked A Thousand Years
Later after a long time the Lord of those servants cometh and he reckons with them and so he didn't receive the five talents came and brought other Five Towns saying Lord you delivered unto me five talents and behold I have ganged beside them five talents more his lord said unto him well done thou good and faithful servant thou has been Faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over many things enter into the joy of thy Lord he also that received the two talents came and said Lord thou delivered unto me two talents and behold I've gained two talents two other talents beside them his Lord and this is talking about the second coming of Jesus it's over this is the Judgment seat of Christian this is where Christians will be judged his lord said in him well done good and faithful servant thou has been Faithful over a few things I will make the ruler over many things interest into the joy of thy Lord then he which had received the one Talent came and said Lord say these three words with me I knew thee what is new I knew thee that thou art a hard man reaping where thou Hast not sown and gathering without has not strawed now this is powerful because what he's saying here is God I knew that you weren't playing around serious and I knew when you reap where you haven't sown that you do the supernatural I knew you were a miracle working God and I knew you meant what you said but he says I was afraid and when hid by talent in the earth and load thou Hast the design his Lord answered and said unto him thou Wicked and slothful lazy servant you knew you knew you knew you knew you knew that I reap where I sowed not and the other way I have not straw you ought to therefore to have put my money to the exchangers and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest listen to what Jesus says to this one take therefore the talent from him and give it to him that have ten talents For unto everyone that has shall be given and he shall have abundance but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he has and cast you the unprofitable servant into outer Darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth you see what Jesus gives us folks you want me to break this Parable down for you what Jesus gives us to all of his servants he gives us all two things the
two things we need most he says he gives us Grace and he gives us Faith to Every Man's dealt The Measure of Faith really all men have been dealt with the measure of faith and God has been drawing and convicting all men he said if Jesus said it in John 12 if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me like Calvinism is wrong Jesus said I will draw all men so all men are being drawn all people are being convicted of sin their conscience speak God is working to try to bring them in he's given to every man Grace meaning Divine influence upon the heart he's given to every man faith and that's what it says in Ephesians 2 8 9 4 of our Grace are you saying through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God God has given it to you didn't earn it he will give it to you he'll give you everything you need to make it to heaven but the LIE of the church world the LIE of most preachers is Jesus just gives it you do nothing no you take Grace and you take Faith and you act upon it and you bear fruit the fruit of repentance in your life the Bible calls repentance fruit the Bible calls Holiness fruit the fruit of holiness and then the Bible talks about the fruit of the spirit and then the Bible talks about the fruit of winning other souls to Jesus so what these these the one that was given five and the one that was given two they went out and did something they acted upon their faith they bore fruit of repentance fruit of Holiness fruit of Soul save fruit of the spirit in their life they were growing they were doing something and notice I love it because he can expect everybody to do the same some were given more responsibility than others God's not looking at how much how many people you into Jesus he's not looking at how many times you go to church right what you're called to do he's just looking for you to be faithful do something with what he's giving you live a holy life live an obedient life open your mouth and speak to the unsaved the lost the bachelor but one of his servants took what he was given and hit it in there hit it because he was afraid of what afraid of what people afraid of losing friends or family members afraid of dying afraid of persecution afraid afraid listen to me fear is your enemy I tell people all this I've preached this for years and said you will either overcome fear or it will overcome you there's no peace treaty with fear
but if fear stops you from doing what you need to do as a Christian to walk close to Jesus and to be alike to other people and to do it right then you're going to end up hearing these words take from him what he has oh they say you can't lose your salvation no you're not going to misplace it Angel's going to come take it away from you and then an angel is going to grab you and they're going to throw you into outer Darkness the pastor saying you scare me to death with this kind of stuff the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom remember we started this talking about the treasures of wisdom and knowledge first one first the beginning fear God how many people are going to stand before God and go I knew what I should have done the Lord all I have is this gift you gave me salvation that I didn't earn I tell people all the time you don't earn it but you better do what you need to do to keep it you know the difference did Adam and Eve earn their place in the Garden of Eden no God created the garden he made the Garden of Eden he created Adam and Eve they were sinless think about that they were new creatures in God they were sinless they didn't know what sin was they were totally holy and pure and clean did they earn that no God did all that for them he made Paradise he made them holy he made them new creatures he breathed in them the breath of life and they were living souls and living Spirits he it was Grace and and total Grace they didn't earn their place in Paradise but God said if you're going to keep it do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil so they didn't earn it but they had to keep somebody else has been preach I don't want any of you to hear the words on Judgment Day well I don't want to be standing nearby and here you say I knew what I should have done I knew what I should have said I knew what I should have I knew I should have prayed I knew
I should have shared with my neighbor I knew I should have not continued in that adulterous Affair I know I should I know I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew take from him let's give it to me for a second give me your phone let me smack you one in front of everybody sure I'm not gonna mention nothing all right my wife and I have a deal I work she takes care of the house she takes care of face she holds to the face they scared me real good what I'm saying is I pay for this phone didn't I bet you know what I'm saying and I gave it to him right she didn't earn it she didn't have to earn it but now she wants to go out cheat on me it's the home and everything else come back to me you go get your own phone after that you understand I got a lot of people a lot of Christians and cheating on Jesus we like Steve Hill used to say if you break up with the devil you give him his stuff back too many people want Jesus but they're cheating on him so here what I'm saying he is the pearl of great pride remember that parable man found this field and he found this pearl of great Christ he said he went and sold everything he had they bought that field see that's really the gospel in a nutshell what we have to do it's all for Jesus I mean I understand Andy why you got so close to your PhD and decided you know it's not even important in life I want to do what Jesus wants me to do I understand that and maybe it was a test you see is that an idol in your life folks we don't want to miss heaven don't miss heaven don't hear the words depart from me you know what makes me sad and and I have to wonder sometimes listen I'm going to close with this I promise I'm gonna let you out of here you know some of you get discriminally speaking like I
don't know if it's conviction are you just hungry or is all you can take I don't know but here's what saddens me you know Trey was a good example of this Trey sat in this church for a long time I wasn't saying but now if you'd ask him oh yeah I'm safe I believe in Jesus he was not born again though and I remember when he died and then he got filled with the Holy Ghost is he different Sandra yeah but the sad part of that is I knew it I suspected it and so now you got to try to take people at the word sometimes but I'm like but just because somebody says that they're a Christian or that they believe in Jesus or even that they've been saved doesn't mean that they have been truly been born again and we preachers sometimes are a little too quick to say say this prayer and you're saved there are a lot of people out there ready to go to heaven and they're not very simple Jesus said unless a man is born again will not see it again and I remember Larry Lee years ago said if you can be saved and not know it you could lose it and not miss it if you are saved can I just tell you something if you've ever been truly born again it's because you believed the gospel you believed Jesus died for your sins and rosenary you believed that he is the only way the only truth and the only life you believe and you were so you believed that so strong that you were willing to humble yourself and ask God to forgive you and you were willing to say God I'm giving you my life I'm going to follow you from this point on and when that happened you were hit by the peace and the presence and the glory of God in your spirit and you felt him come in and you felt him wash your sins away and you felt peaceful and you felt his love and you felt his presence listen if you get saved the Bible says that the Holy Spirit Bears witness with our spirit that we are the child children of God if you've never had that experience where you know the presence and power of God come in and that your sins are washed away and that Jesus came into your life then you're not born again you might believe in Jesus you might believe that the tenets of the Gospel but you've never been saved please if that's you somebody could be listening to me today in Canada
or Saudi Arabia not enough to believe you must be born again and you must be faithful to the end he that endures to the end will be saved Matthew 24 14 13. he is faithful I was Heaven and the holy city that's coming down and the streets of gold and the places where it says we won't need the light of the Sun or the moon because the lamb will be the light of it the place where it says there'll be no more pain no more Sorrows No More Tears no more sickness no more sin no more evil no more wickedness the place where it says there are rivers of pure water where God says not only is he going to bring down that Heavenly City New Jerusalem but he says I'm going to make a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness so God's got a place for me if I stay faithful brother he's got a place for me I tell people this all the time I got a home in the third heaven at the throne room of God to be there and to worship him and to love him and to be with him anytime I get ready but I'm going to have a home in the New Jerusalem and I also if I mink enough to keep following him it says the meek will inherit the earth so folks let me tell you something that the Jehovah Witnesses want to say we only get the Earthly Kingdom and you know people want to say well we're going to be in heaven no folks let me tell you what we get if you're faithful to the end you get it all you get heaven you get the universe you get the Earth you get the New Jerusalem you get to be with the Lamb of God the Lord Jesus Christ The Prince of Peace Love In the Flesh the creator of sheer power and Glory who he says for all eternity he will make all things new he's going to show us things that we don't even know exist why would you want to miss that for pornography or an affair why would you want to miss that don't miss it don't miss heaven amen Jesus loves you more than you can fathom but it's not a question and I've always said this it's not a question of Jesus loving us it's do we love him
and if you love me Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandment if you love me you will hate wickedness and unrighteousness and sin if you love me you will hate the things of the devil Halloween's not shouldn't even be a question I see people putting these articles I see Christians on Facebook putting articles of why Christians okay for Christians to celebrate Halloween and other ones putting their mind why we shouldn't celebrate how come on should there even be a discussion it really is no I'm not celebrating demons and ghosts and devils and witches I'm not doing it it's not hard to figure out I'm not letting my kids car pulled over in Dothan Alabama one of the smarties candies laced with LSD get made his hand out to your children Dothan Alabama yeah let's run door to door to a bunch of strangers house and get stuff to eat that makes a lot of sense not hard to figure out love righteousness love Jesus with all your heart hate iniquity that's why I can tell somebody really got saved anyway and I really got converted I don't have to tell them a certain things they don't watch there's certain things they don't drink there's certain things they don't smoke there's certain places they don't go because they want to love God they want to do things differently and until you're willing to do his will blinders are still going to be on your eyes amen what y'all need to pray is that I'll be allowed by God to tell you what he showed me because it's true you know actually sometimes I just say Lord why'd it take me so long I love the Bible y'all love God's word love God's word it's really a protection part I talked about it last week it's a protection for you if you love the truth you will not be deceived by the strong delusion because I can tell you I'll just say this about what God showed me I am absolutely now even more convinced that part of the Great deception and delusion is coming is going to be the whole alien deception
