Amen. 07:17 What an anointed song. And he made it his own. 07:20 This morning, we're going to go to the Lord 07:23 and ask Him to pour into us 07:26 what we cannot get from anywhere else. 07:28 Let us bow our heads 07:30 this morning in the presence of our God. 07:34 Loving Father in heaven, 07:37 Lord, I feel the need to kneel before you 07:39 this morning. 07:41 Lord, this morning, 07:42 as we come into Your holy presence, 07:45 into the presence 07:47 of the chamber of perfect harmony, 07:51 perfect righteousness, 07:54 Lord, send Your Holy Spirit this day 07:56 to pour into us 07:58 that as a song was communicated 08:01 that one day none of us would have to imagine anymore, 08:05 we will be in the presence of our Lord and Savior. 08:08 Send Your Holy Spirit now to do a work in our hearts 08:12 as we stand on the very cusped of eternity. 08:16 In Jesus' name I pray. 08:18 Amen. 08:23 "The Glorious Return." 08:26 Let us begin this morning 08:27 by diving into 08:31 what I might refer to as the headline scripture, 08:35 prognosticating the coming of our Lord. 08:38 Matthew writes in Matthew 24:32-33. 08:43 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree. 08:48 When its branch has already become tender 08:51 and puts forth leaves, 08:54 you know that the summer is near. 08:58 So you also, when you see..." 09:01 How much? "All..." 09:03 How much? 09:04 "All these things, 09:06 know that it is near, at the doors!" 09:10 I want to begin this morning by saying, 09:12 I am so glad 09:14 the coming of the Lord is at the doors. 09:15 Amen. 09:17 We have been prognosticating and prophesying for years, 09:21 and to put the prophetic timeline together, 09:24 this is the last church out of the seven. 09:27 Amen, somebody. Amen. 09:29 There is no more after Laodicea except the church triumphant. 09:34 There are no more kingdoms, 09:36 there are only four kingdoms in antiquity, 09:38 and the United States 09:39 is inserted in the final scenario, 09:43 but the only kingdom to come after this 09:45 is the kingdom that shall have no end. 09:47 What do you say to that? 09:49 And Jesus will be King of kings and Lord of lords 09:52 in that kingdom. 09:54 No more frailty, 09:55 no more looking to the White House, 09:57 always looking to the right house. 10:00 But Jesus reigns and abides forever. 10:03 But today, we're standing in a world 10:05 where everything in our world is an agitation. 10:08 And I take you back to a commentary 10:11 written more than 100 years ago, 10:14 and when you read it 10:15 and listen to the words this morning, 10:17 it is as though God forecasted in our day and time 10:21 the kind of world that we would exist in. 10:24 Listen carefully to these inspired words. 10:27 The book Prophets and Kings, page 537, 10:30 "The present is a time of overwhelming interest 10:34 to all living. 10:36 Rulers and statesmen, 10:38 men who occupy positions of trust and authority, 10:42 thinking men and women of all classes, 10:47 have their attention fixed 10:48 upon the events taking place about us." 10:51 If you listen to the news, no matter what the network, 10:55 everybody is concerned 10:57 about the direction of our crumbling world. 11:00 "They are watching the relations 11:04 that exist among the nations. 11:07 They observe the intensity 11:08 that is taking possession of every earthly element." 11:12 They're noticing that nature is changing its course 11:16 almost as a forecast of the approaching end. 11:21 Continuing, 11:22 "And they recognize 11:24 that something great and decisive 11:27 is about to take place, 11:29 that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis." 11:33 We are living in the hour 11:36 where a stupendous crisis 11:39 is about to grip planet earth with such intensity 11:43 that even in description, 11:45 the human heart cannot pin those words. 11:49 That's why when we come night to night, 11:51 the Lord has said to me, "John, preach with urgency." 11:55 As Noah stood on the cusped of that boarded ark, 11:58 something that seemed so antiquated in a day and age 12:02 where technology in the minds of superhuman men 12:05 may have been so much more advanced than ours, 12:07 he stood on the promises of God and hammered and sawed 12:10 and build an ark on the promises of God, 12:14 and the intellect of man denied the very approaching judgment 12:17 that God had forecast. 12:19 But Noah preached with urgency 12:20 until one day his faith became sight 12:23 under clouds of God's judgment arrived on the scene 12:26 where impugned hearts 12:28 rejected the very cries of an Almighty God. 12:32 And then Moses closed God... 12:33 God's Angel closed the door, the mighty thud of judgment 12:37 echoed through the valley of corrupt hearts 12:40 until they realized that 12:42 what God had forecasted had finally come to pass. 12:45 Brothers and sisters, let me tell you today, 12:47 we may have been waiting for a long time 12:50 but soon, the wait will be over, 12:53 soon the promises of Jesus will become sight. 12:56 All that we have struggled for and prayed for and held on, 12:59 one day the clouds will unfold 13:01 and forecast onto final headlines to earth, 13:04 "I'm here. 13:06 Hold on, be not weary." 13:09 We live in an age, 13:10 a generation that will be judged 13:12 not for the decline of its real estate 13:14 but for the decline of its moral state. 13:17 We are living at a time where the agenda of the world 13:20 has become the corruption of its inhabitants 13:22 and people are being corrupted by the moment. 13:26 We have arrived at an hour 13:27 where the only thing of lesser value 13:29 than the dollar 13:31 is the human life. 13:32 And it is in this age that Jesus is saying, 13:35 "Surely I come quickly." 13:40 Today, we're going to go through five signs 13:43 as to why I believe the coming of Jesus is near. 13:46 Sign number one, the rejection of evidence. 13:51 The rejection of evidence. 13:53 Earth itself, from the north to the south, 13:56 from the east to the west, 13:58 portentous science of restless relations 14:01 among nations, 14:02 salvation, violence 14:04 unimagined in times past is being portrayed 14:08 and perpetrated on the stage of humanity 14:10 almost at a decadent level what people are paying 14:14 to see the degradation of humanity. 14:17 The rejection of evidence, 14:18 and the Lord said that this would happen. 14:21 I like the words of Helen Keller. 14:22 Helen Keller said, 14:24 "The only thing worse than being blind 14:27 is having sight but no vision." 14:30 And our world today has lost its vision, 14:32 but God is still saying, "Keep building those mansions, 14:37 keep getting those robes of eternity together, 14:40 keep putting names, 14:42 keep putting names in the kingdom, 14:46 in the book of the kingdom. 14:48 Keep fixing the world, 14:50 letting them know 14:52 that what I've told them is soon to come to pass." 14:56 Now we know when we look at the trees budding around us, 15:00 we can tell when the summer is coming. 15:02 When we look at the signs in our world budding around us, 15:06 it doesn't take a person that even knows the Bible 15:10 to know that something strange is going on. 15:13 When fish are washing up on the shore 15:15 for no apparent archaeological... 15:18 No apparent agricultural reason, 15:21 when birds are falling out of the sky, 15:25 when nature seems to be off course 15:28 and the ice cap is melting, 15:29 whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, 15:31 you cannot deny the evidence. 15:36 And when violence 15:37 is being perpetuated in our schools 15:39 at a level 15:40 where the recalcitrant heart of humanity 15:43 refuses to stand up and reverse this course, 15:46 we know that something is violently wrong, 15:49 the rejection of evidence. 15:51 And Peter said it would be that way. 15:53 Notice what he says. 15:55 2 Peter 3:3, 4. 15:57 "Knowing this first, 15:59 that scoffers will come in the last days..." 16:02 A scoffer is a person that looks at the evidence 16:05 and dismisses it with impunity. 16:08 "Walking according to their own lusts, 16:11 and saying, 16:13 'Where is the promise of His coming? 16:15 For since the fathers fell asleep, 16:18 all things continue as they were 16:20 from the beginning of creation.'" 16:22 Let me tell you something, 16:24 things have not continued the same way they were 16:26 even 20 years ago. 16:28 Can I get an amen? Amen. 16:29 You've got to be asleep to not see the decline, 16:33 the rapid decline of our society. 16:36 You've got to be inoculated 16:39 by a drug far greater than any sleep agent 16:41 to not realize that our world is in serious trouble. 16:48 But our planet plays political maneuvering, 16:52 they are willingly forgetting... 16:53 As the next verse says, "They willingly forget." 16:57 And archaeologists through their research 17:00 have come to conclude that yes, there was a flood, 17:02 they call it the deluge. 17:05 How else can you explain fossils 17:07 on the top of Mount Everest, 17:09 sea fossils on the top of Mount Everest? 17:12 How else can you explain the contortion of the earth 17:14 in unexplainable ways? 17:16 You go to the Caribbean, 17:17 on islands that are almost perfectly flat, 17:19 and you see boulders too large to be put there by humanity. 17:23 The evidence is overwhelming that there was a deluge. 17:27 But they look at the evidence, 17:28 and the Bible says they willingly forget. 17:30 You know why? 17:31 Because the hearts of men are evil. 17:33 And they want to go on endlessly in this pursuit 17:37 from darkness to great darkness. 17:39 But the Lord has said to His people remain alert, 17:42 for Hebrews writes these words. 17:44 Hebrews 10:37. 17:46 "For yet a little while, and he that shall come..." 17:49 Say it with me. 17:51 "Will come, and will not tarry." 17:55 I can almost hear some times 17:56 the flapping of the angels' wings 17:59 as they go to and fro from earth to heaven returning, 18:02 saying that their work is done. 18:04 I can almost sense the presence of angels 18:06 as they go throughout the congregation's meeting 18:09 all over the world, 18:10 putting the seal of God's approval 18:12 on the hearts of men and women 18:13 getting ready for the coming of Christ. 18:16 "He that shall come will come and will not tarry." 18:19 The faithful that have been proclaiming this for decades 18:22 have fallen asleep, 18:23 but he that shall come will come and will not tarry. 18:27 H.M.S. Richards 18:29 who proclaimed this for decades, 18:30 saying Jesus is coming again. 18:32 When he died, his son said Jesus is coming again. 18:35 And somebody 18:36 standing by the bedside of H.M.S. Richards Junior said, 18:39 "What do you say now? 18:41 Is He coming again?" He said, "He's on His way. 18:44 He's on His way." Come on. Somebody say amen. 18:47 He's on His way. 18:49 "Be not weary in doing well, for in due time, 18:53 you will reap if you do not faint." 18:55 Jeremiah the prophet says, 18:57 "They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly. 19:00 Saying, 'Peace, peace!' 19:03 When there is no peace." 19:05 On the heels of September 11, 2001, 19:09 when the then-President Bush says, 19:11 "Let's return to life as normal." 19:14 But at the very same time in the White House, 19:16 all of the legislators are walking around 19:17 with gas masks. 19:19 And they're telling us, 19:20 "Let's return to life as normal. 19:22 Do not be afraid." 19:24 My sister who works for the fire department, 19:26 now for the police department also, 19:27 she says we cannot live our lives 19:30 in the sense of lack of expectation 19:33 or lack of urgency because the world, 19:35 what they're not telling us, 19:36 is far greater than what we can ever imagine. 19:39 And even when the media discloses to us 19:42 the conditions of society, 19:44 it is far worse 19:47 because they don't want to create 19:49 in the minds of humanity, 19:50 what they might call, an expectant crisis. 19:53 They don't want people to be afraid of the future. 19:55 They just want us to be pursuit of life, liberty, 19:59 and the pursuit of happiness. 20:02 They want us to go to hell happy. 20:09 As long as the bottom line 20:11 fills the pockets and hearts of the greedy, 20:13 greedy for money... 20:15 But once again, the Lord speaks to His servant 20:17 in the book Evangelism. 20:19 Oh, this is a quotation 20:21 that brings us to a point of soberness. 20:24 "Angels are now restraining the winds of strife..." 20:28 Point out for a moment, 20:30 why do you think that nuclear war 20:31 has not yet broken out between America and Korea? 20:34 It's not because Kim Jong-un one day gets a good heart. 20:37 Angels are restraining the winds of strife. 20:40 Why? 20:41 So that the gospel can be preaching, 20:43 somebody else will find Jesus before it is ever too late. 20:48 Well, I don't want to be a man filled... 20:50 I'm filled with joy because this morning, 20:52 I don't want to point it out, 20:55 but a young lady walked through the doors 20:56 of this church this morning 20:58 saying that the Lord's urgency was upon my heart. 21:02 And she began searching the Internet, 21:03 looking for truth, 21:05 found the Sabbath. 21:07 Then she found the Sabbath, 21:08 the link to the Seventh-day Adventist Church 21:09 in God's Word and she said, 21:11 "Well, maybe this church 21:12 is in the Middle East somewhere." 21:14 Only to find out 21:15 that Paradise Valley was right here, 21:17 and she walked through the doors of this church, 21:19 escorted by Dr. Lila. 21:21 And we sat in the hallway with our friend and we prayed. 21:24 God is still working, 21:26 there's one more soul yet to be added to the kingdom. 21:28 What do you say? 21:29 The reason he's restraining the winds 21:33 is the world must be warned. 21:35 "Until the world shall be warned 21:37 of it's coming doom. 21:38 But a storm is gathering, ready to burst upon the earth, 21:43 and when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, 21:48 there will be such a scene of strife 21:51 as no pen can picture." 21:54 Lord, have mercy. 21:58 And it is in this day and age 21:59 that people are hearing the voice of God 22:01 and they think that some degree to some degree, 22:03 they have more time. 22:05 Brethren, the only time you have 22:06 is the next breath. 22:08 I got a call from my sister-in-law 22:10 this morning, 22:12 woke us up little after six o'clock this morning. 22:14 And I can tell by the tone of my wife's voice 22:17 something had happened. 22:18 She said, "Oh, Lord. 22:20 What happened? What happened?" 22:22 Only to find out this young boy 22:24 that my sister-in-law's raising, 22:27 she adopted two children, 22:28 came to find out 22:30 that the brother of these two children 22:31 was run over, 22:34 hit by a car, 19 years old. 22:37 He was missing for a week, 22:40 and they found him on the side of the road, 22:46 rigor mortis, after a week. 22:50 What happened to this young man? 22:52 He thought he had another day, 22:53 but he did not know that that was his last day. 22:57 You see, brethren, 22:58 it doesn't matter what your age is, 22:59 the only thing we have is the next breath. 23:03 Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, 23:06 all the time we have is right now. 23:10 And when you look at the calamities by sea, 23:12 the unsettled state of society, 23:15 the alarms of war are pretentious, 23:17 they are all around us. 23:18 Only God's grace is holding the world together. 23:22 Why? 23:23 Because He knows that there is yet someone 23:26 who will be freed 23:27 from the grasp of the enemy of souls. 23:31 You see, the devil wants us to be lost, 23:33 but Jesus is not willing that any should perish. 23:35 Come on. Somebody say amen. 23:37 He says, "I'm not willing to give you up." 23:38 But look at the world. 23:40 It's getting just like it was in the days of Noah. 23:42 What kind of world was it? 23:43 Genesis 6:11. 23:45 The Bible says, "The earth also was corrupt before God..." 23:48 Is our world corrupt? Yes. 23:50 "And the earth was filled with violence." 23:52 Violence today is being sold in video games. 23:57 Violence today is corrupting the minds of our young, 24:00 they can't tell the difference between fake and real. 24:04 As one young man said, 24:05 "I took somebody's life 24:07 just to know what it felt like." 24:09 But unfortunately, that person was not coming back 24:11 in the next show. 24:13 It was a real death. 24:15 Our world is violent and corrupt. 24:17 And the Bible continues in Genesis 6:5. 24:21 "Then the Lord saw 24:22 that the wickedness of man was" what? 24:25 "Great in the earth, 24:27 and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart 24:31 were only" what? 24:32 "Evil continually." 24:35 That's our world. 24:38 But Genesis now joins the Protégé Timothy 24:42 in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. 24:45 "This know also, that in the" what days? 24:48 "Last days perilous times shall come. 24:52 For men shall be lovers 24:54 of their own selves, covetous" 24:59 what would somebody else have? 25:01 "Boasters, proud, blasphemers, 25:05 disobedient to parents." 25:08 Each one of these descriptions can be a sermon all by itself. 25:12 "Unthankful, unholy, without natural affection." 25:16 This does not just mean the departure from sexuality, 25:19 this means that people can look in your eyes 25:23 and take your life without natural affection. 25:25 No feelings at all for a person's life. 25:29 I heard a story this week on the news. 25:32 Well, a young lady had gone together with... 25:34 She was with her boyfriend, 25:36 she left him and went with another guy. 25:37 And the first guy was so upset, he said, 25:40 "I want to meet the guy that you're dating now." 25:43 And he met him and he looked him in the face 25:44 and shot him seven times in his head 25:48 without natural affection. 25:50 People can take your life without even blinking an eye. 25:54 "Trucebreakers..." 25:55 Cannot keep a promise, "False accusers..." 25:58 Lying on people, "Incontinent, fierce, 26:01 despisers of those that are good..." 26:03 When you get to the place 26:05 where people hate you just because you're good, 26:07 something's wrong. 26:09 "Traitors, heady, highminded, 26:12 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, 26:15 having a form of godliness, 26:18 but denying the power thereof, 26:20 from such" what are we told to do? 26:23 "Turn away." 26:25 We live in a religious world today 26:27 that just wants a form of godliness. 26:30 But that's not what God has called us to. 26:31 God has called us to tell the truth. 26:33 Amen, somebody. 26:34 To tell the truth. The truth as... 26:36 One young man in the Chronicles... 26:38 I forgot his name. 26:39 The truth is the truth whether you like it or not. 26:45 But those who reject the truth are left to wander in darkness 26:49 because they've chosen darkness above light. 26:51 From night to night, 26:52 we've told you the truth about the Sabbath, 26:54 the truth about what happens when you die, 26:56 the truth about the way 26:57 that you should handle your body temple, 27:00 abstain from alcohol and cigarettes, 27:02 dress as a person looking forward to eternity, 27:05 don't allow the world to mold our minds. 27:08 We're getting ready for an eternal kingdom. 27:12 And if ever there was a time 27:13 that we should prepare for that kingdom 27:14 by the way we live, it is now. 27:16 What do you say? 27:17 It is now. 27:19 For the Bible tells us, sign number two, 27:20 increasing immorality. 27:22 The second reason I believe that Jesus is coming soon, 27:25 increasing immorality. 27:28 There is no city in the world 27:30 that is safe from increasing immorality. 27:33 The largest of cities, the smallest of towns, 27:36 there's always a stain of immorality. 27:38 The Bible tells us about this in Luke 17:28, 29. 27:44 "Likewise as it was in the days of Lot..." 27:48 What a corrupt city it was. 27:51 "They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, 27:55 they planted, they built." 27:57 Sounds like Phoenix, doesn't it? 27:59 "But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, 28:03 it rained fire and brimstone from heaven 28:06 and destroyed them all." 28:08 Today, people just want to go about life as normal, 28:11 commerce as normal, fun, the movie theaters are packed, 28:15 the gambling hells are packed, people just want to have fun. 28:22 And when that fun is not in harmony 28:23 with God's will, 28:25 it is preparing you for destruction. 28:26 They were completely ignorant, 28:29 willingly ignorant of the approaching judgment 28:31 on the city of Sodom and Gomorrah. 28:33 And even Lot when he called on his wife to leave, 28:35 she ended up turning to a pillar of salt, 28:37 refusing to follow God because her heart was in Sodom. 28:40 Let me tell you something, when God calls you out, 28:43 don't look back. 28:47 As the French racing driver said, as he was racing, 28:50 he ripped off his rearview mirror 28:52 and he said, "What's behind me is not my concern." 28:55 Don't look back. Amen? 28:58 God's calling us forward. 28:59 That's what the Bible continues. 29:01 "Even so will it be in the day 29:03 when the Son of Man is revealed." 29:05 The same kind of world. 29:06 In Noah's day, 29:08 immorality was celebrated with intensity. 29:10 In Noah's day, the voice of God was ignored with impunity. 29:13 In Noah's day, 29:14 pleasure consumed the minds of society. 29:17 In Noah's day, salvation was ignored, 29:19 sin was preferred. 29:20 In Noah's day, men's minds became continuously evil. 29:26 That's why I got to pause and say something here. 29:31 We've got to be careful that we not allow our minds 29:35 to be molded by the world around us. 29:39 Have you noticed that for media purposes? 29:42 If you could get a large television 29:44 to use it for the right reason, to God be the glory. 29:48 But the reason why the televisions are getting 29:50 larger and larger 29:51 is because the devil wants your mind 29:53 to be enraptured. 29:54 Some people sit down and just watch any 29:57 and everything that comes across the screen. 30:00 For those getting ready for the kingdom of God, 30:02 we've got to filter our minds from the filth of the world. 30:05 Come on, say amen. 30:06 We cannot allow the things of the world 30:08 to mold us. 30:09 Even some of the commercials will take you places 30:14 that the Lord knows your mind should not be. 30:19 What a society. 30:21 The Bible said that's the kind of world 30:23 it would be, immorality. 30:25 You know, when you think about the rejection, 30:28 notice what the Bible continues to say. 30:30 Look at Romans. 30:31 This is the kind of world just like the days of Noah. 30:34 Romans 1:26, 27. 30:36 "For this reason..." 30:38 That is when they close their eyes to the truth. 30:40 "For this reason 30:42 God gave them up to vile passions. 30:45 For even their women exchanged the natural use 30:50 for what is against nature. 30:51 Likewise also the men, 30:53 leaving the natural use of the woman, 30:56 burned in their lust for one another, 30:59 men with men committing what is shameful, 31:02 and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error 31:06 which was due." 31:07 Men with men. 31:08 Just last night, my wife showed me, 31:11 this popped up on her Facebook page, 31:13 Disney has finally gone gay. 31:17 They have started their first gay series for children. 31:21 A picture of two men kissing, cartoon, 31:24 but they want to corrupt the minds of the young. 31:26 Let me tell you something. 31:28 Disney is dizzy. 31:32 When you put your children 31:34 in front of these television shows 31:35 like Nickelodeon and Disney 31:37 and you are not aware of what they're watching, 31:39 their minds are being molded from young 31:42 because the devil knows 31:43 if he could corrupt the minds of the young, 31:45 train up a child in the way they should go, 31:48 if the world trains up your child, 31:50 when they get old, 31:52 they'll think the way of the world. 31:54 You've got to be careful what you allow in your home. 31:57 You got to be careful what your child watches. 31:59 That's why today, we live in a society 32:01 that dares us to speak against its immorality. 32:04 But let me make a statement. 32:06 If speaking against immorality brings persecution, 32:10 I'd rather be persecuted by man than prosecuted by God. 32:15 If speaking against the darkness of this world 32:17 brings persecution, 32:19 I'd rather be persecuted by man than prosecuted by God. 32:23 My call is not to make men comfortable, 32:26 my call is a call of evacuation. 32:29 Let's get on board. It's time to get out of here. 32:33 And the ark is going to pull up soon and very soon. 32:36 The Lord is going to part the heavens 32:40 and call His children to their eternal reward. 32:43 Sign number three, destruction of society. 32:48 Why is society being destroyed? 32:51 The Bible tells us in John 3:19. 32:54 "And this is the condemnation, 32:57 that the light has come into the world, 32:59 and men loved darkness rather than light..." 33:05 What's the reason? 33:06 "Because their deeds are evil." 33:10 The world... 33:11 And I don't like to say it, but I'm going to say it today. 33:15 The world and many churches 33:18 that claim to be connected to God 33:20 have turned off the light of God's Word. 33:24 We live in a society where people rather speak about 33:26 prosperity than righteousness. 33:29 Where people will rather talk about 33:30 your ship is coming in 33:32 rather than Jesus is coming again. 33:35 And because men are applauding these things, 33:38 the Bible says beware when men speak well of you. 33:42 And so many other leaders nowadays, 33:43 so many pastors in the world today 33:45 are receiving the applaud, living the life of lavishness. 33:48 Nothing wrong with that, 33:50 but if your lavish life 33:54 has met its existence 33:58 by rejecting the light of God's Word, 34:00 one day you'll stand in judgment 34:02 before the Creator. 34:04 We cannot be a people 34:05 that reject the light of God's Word. 34:08 Notice what the Bible says. 34:09 The Bible says in Isaiah 60:2, 34:11 "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, 34:14 and gross darkness the people." 34:16 but I like the second part. 34:18 "But the Lord shall arise upon thee, 34:20 and His glory shall be seen upon thee." 34:23 I believe in these last days, 34:25 there's still somebody who says, 34:27 "My life is going to shine for the glory of God." 34:29 Amen? 34:31 That's the day and age. 34:32 God is calling us to be lights amid darkness, 34:35 to be people of firm character 34:37 amid a shaky and deviating and vacillating society. 34:41 God is calling us to stand firm 34:43 when people are saying 34:45 bend to the left and to the right, 34:46 and when they say it doesn't matter, 34:48 God says it does matter. 34:49 When you put a question mark where God puts a period, 34:52 something's wrong. 34:56 But God is saying, 34:57 "Oh, My church will not go the direction of the world 35:00 because I've got 7,000 35:01 that have not bowed their knees to bail." 35:04 So don't think you're the only one, 35:06 God's got reserves and He's not done yet 35:08 because even in this late hour of earth's history, 35:11 there are people coming in. 35:12 There are people coming in, and God is looking, 35:15 He's out on the highways and hedges, 35:16 He's in the mountains and in the deserts. 35:18 And those who are listening for the voice of God 35:20 will hear it. 35:22 To God be the glory. 35:25 That's why today, 35:27 we've got to control our devices 35:29 and not allow our devices to control us. 35:32 Smartphones are turning us into dumb Christians. 35:38 Some people can't come to church 35:39 without bringing their phones 35:41 and spending all the time during the sermon. 35:42 We've got to be smarter than our devices. 35:44 Come on, say amen somebody. 35:47 You got to choose. 35:48 And now if you look at the world today, 35:49 you got the Slingbox, you got these companies, 35:52 these cable companies, 35:54 they're setting up their electronics 35:55 in such a way that no matter where you are, 35:57 you can watch television. 35:58 They say you can watch television 36:00 anywhere and everywhere. 36:01 They want you to watch television on the bus. 36:04 And the world is so inoculated, 36:05 just take the time and walk the streets 36:07 or drive by and look at the corners. 36:09 We were in a country overseas 36:11 and we saw a sign on the billboard 36:12 that said 70% of all the traffic deaths 36:15 are contributed to people looking down at their phones 36:18 and walking right into traffic. 36:22 One young lady... 36:23 It was on the news, 36:25 I listened to this very carefully. 36:26 They interviewed some teenagers. 36:28 A 13-year old girl on the way home from school, 36:31 her phone fell into the subway tracks 36:33 and she jumped down to get a phone 36:34 and got run over by the train. 36:38 And the news reporter said, 36:39 "You could always replace your phone." 36:40 And they asked other teenagers, 36:42 and the higher percentage of teenagers said, 36:45 "I would have done the same thing," 36:50 because these devices 36:52 are turning us 36:54 into nothing more than an automatons. 36:56 Satan wants us to be 24 hours a day, 36:58 7 days a week inoculated and drugged 37:01 by the entertainment of the world. 37:03 Some children can't even sleep at night. 37:05 That's why, parents, 37:06 when your children go to bed at night, 37:07 you want to say, "Give me your phone." 37:11 No amens necessary. 37:14 And some parents won't do that. You know why? 37:16 Because you want to be your child's friend. 37:18 God didn't call you to be a friend, 37:20 He called you to be a parent. 37:23 Train them up in the way they should go. 37:26 When I was being raised, some of you older people, 37:27 you know what I'm talking about, 37:29 we had a lock on our phone. 37:31 Remember the dial phones with that big old lock, 37:34 with the key on it? 37:36 You need to make a phone call, 37:38 you can still get emergency just hit zero, 37:40 but later on, they came up with 911. 37:43 But this day and age, 37:45 we are putting devices in the hands of young people, 37:48 and think about it. 37:49 There's an age limit for alcohol and cigarettes 37:53 and driver's license, 37:54 but there is no age limit for cell phones. 37:56 And when you put a cell phone 37:58 in the hand of an undeveloped mind, 38:00 they have access to the smut of the world. 38:03 Before you know it, their minds are corrupt, 38:05 they don't love you, 38:06 they don't even like you anymore. 38:08 You wonder why your children are so impugn 38:11 in their behavior, 38:13 why they have no desire for God. 38:14 You have given them a drug that they cannot control. 38:18 And they go to bed at night and stay up all night long, 38:20 they get up in the morning, they can't think, 38:21 their grades are failing 38:23 and you're wondering what's wrong. 38:24 It's because you have not taken the role 38:26 that God has given you. 38:27 And when you stand before God, you'll be accountable. 38:30 Get control of your family. 38:31 Come on, parents, say amen. Amen. 38:33 And if they get upset, they'll live. 38:38 Am I right? They'll live. 38:40 I was raised when... 38:41 When I was raised and Mama disciplined me, 38:46 I survived, here I am. 38:48 All the better for it. Am I right? 38:51 You don't have to beat your children, 38:52 punishment is more impressionable 38:55 than beating a child. 38:56 And sometimes, it doesn't even work. 38:58 They rather you beat them than cut off their computer 39:00 or disconnect them from the internet. 39:02 That's like a life sentence. 39:04 "Not my Internet connection, Mama." 39:09 When I was being raised, 39:10 I had to earn the right to watch television. 39:15 Daddy would take the cord out of the back of the TV. 39:19 He said, "Now you can watch TV, 39:20 here's a deal, but you can watch TV 39:22 one hour an evening. 39:23 Do your homework. Get the house chores done. 39:26 Go to bed early." 39:27 Look at me today. Come on. 39:29 Somebody say amen. Amen. 39:30 Now I made my mistakes. 39:35 From the mouth of a babe. 39:38 From the mouth of a babe. 39:40 Amen. 39:42 I'm gonna treasure that one. 39:44 Amen. 39:49 But my daddy only allowed us to watch certain things. 39:51 You remember those days, some of you old people, 39:53 Petticoat Junction? 39:54 Some old shows, Mayberry R.F.D., Lost in Space, 39:59 that was when shows were crazy, but they were not like today. 40:02 And some of you are still inoculated by soap operas. 40:07 Why do they call it soap operas? 40:08 I have no idea. 40:10 There's nothing clean about it. 40:15 That's why we're given these words 40:17 in 1 Corinthians 10:7. 40:19 The Bible says, 40:21 "And do not become" what? "Idolaters." 40:25 Satan finds work for idle hands. 40:27 "And do not become idolaters as some of them. 40:32 As it is written, 40:33 'The people sat down to eat and drink, 40:35 and rose up to'" do what? 40:36 "'And they rose up to play.'" 40:38 That's why today, we have to keep in mind... 40:40 I was looking at a statistic and I wrote it down here. 40:43 It's said, by the year 2020, 40:45 there will be 9.2 billion smartphone subscriptions. 40:50 More than 50 billion new devices 40:54 will be dependent on the Internet. 40:57 One of the reasons I believe 40:58 the Lord's going to pull the plug one day, 41:00 He's got to cut off man's power to allow His power to flow. 41:04 Amen. 41:05 That's why a blackout is not a bad thing. 41:07 I read a story about a family that experienced the blackout. 41:11 They didn't even know each other. 41:13 The young boy ran from his room when the power went down 41:16 in their town and he said, 41:17 "Dad, how long will the power be out?" 41:19 He said, "I don't know." 41:20 The power was out for almost two days. 41:23 And he said to his father, "What are we going to do?" 41:26 Mom said, "Maybe we'll talk to each other." 41:30 And after two days, 41:31 the young boy and his young sister said, 41:34 "Wow, so nice to get to know my parents." 41:38 Families don't talk anymore. 41:41 They don't even want to talk 41:43 because the world has taken our minds 41:45 in a completely different direction, 41:48 which brings me to the next point. 41:50 Romans 12:2, 41:51 "And do not be conformed to this world, 41:54 but be transformed by the" what? 41:56 "Renewing of your mind, 41:58 that you may prove what is that good 42:01 and acceptable and perfect will of God." 42:04 When your mind is transformed, 42:07 then the truth of God's Word can reflect through your life. 42:11 That's why we need the Holy Spirit to guide us. 42:13 Our minds need to be transformed. 42:16 Give the Word of God access to your mind, 42:18 give your mind access to God's Word, 42:20 only then... 42:22 Look at another sign. 42:23 Sign number four, rejection of the gospel. 42:26 I was made aware of this by my wife, 42:28 my wife works on my sermons with me. 42:30 I love that connection she has, 42:32 her own personal connection with Jesus. 42:34 But she brought this to my attention and I did not know, 42:36 I thought I was very well informed, 42:38 but I did not know. 42:39 You may have heard about this story, 42:40 "Heaven is for Real." 42:42 It became a multimillion dollar selling book, 42:45 it became a movie, 42:47 people were just fascinated by the idea that this is a boy, 42:50 he said he went to heaven and came back. 42:53 Come to find out, listen to his testimony. 42:56 Alex Malarkey, 42:59 "I said I went to heaven 43:01 because I thought it would get me attention. 43:04 When I made the claims that I did, 43:06 I never read the Bible." 43:08 Before I finish the quotation, 43:10 it was a story he and his dad made up. 43:15 So many Christian organizations invited them on 43:18 to bolster the idea that you die and go to heaven 43:21 or that a soul departs and go to heaven. 43:24 This boy and his dad made it up. 43:28 And he continues, 43:29 "People have profited from lies, 43:31 and continue to." 43:33 And this boy, listen what he said. 43:35 "They should read the Bible..." 43:36 Come on, 43:38 "Which is enough. 43:39 The Bible is the only source of truth. 43:43 Anything written by man cannot be infallible." 43:49 Publishers, movie producers 43:52 ripped this material off the shelves 43:54 after they realized 43:56 the millions of dollars that they put into a hoax. 44:00 That's why today, you cannot be the people 44:02 that determine your doctrinal beliefs by movies. 44:04 Amen, somebody. 44:06 Amen. 44:07 People think that the Ten Commandments 44:08 by Charlton Heston is fact 44:11 or The Passion by Mel Gibson is fact 44:13 or the movie Noah by another movie producer 44:16 or the movie The Resurrection 44:18 or the other one Heaven is for Real, 44:19 they try to determine what they believe 44:21 based on what is said on these movies, 44:24 in these movies and by these television shows. 44:27 Consult the Word of God, notice the problem. 44:31 Notice the problem. 44:33 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 44:35 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness 44:39 in them that perish..." 44:40 Here's the reason why. 44:42 "Because they received not the love of the truth, 44:48 that they might be saved." 44:50 They don't want the truth. 44:51 You tell people the truth nowadays, they say, 44:53 "Well, I know that's the truth, but I like the way this feels. 44:57 I know that's the truth, but this fits me better." 44:59 So people nowadays shop for churches 45:01 that fit the way they live 45:03 rather than allowing the Word of God 45:05 to mold them the way they should live. 45:08 Some people know the Sabbath is true, 45:10 but Sunday fits them better. 45:12 And Sunday is not even a holy day in the least. 45:15 They go to church for one hour and then go to the mall 45:17 or a football game, it fits their lifestyle. 45:19 Let me tell you something. 45:21 Jesus didn't come to fit into our way of life, 45:23 He wants us to fit into His way of life. 45:27 But they don't want the truth. 45:29 So what happens? 45:31 He sends them a strong delusion. 45:32 And the reason why some people that they believe a lie, 45:35 let me make it clear, 45:36 is because when you reject the truth which is the light, 45:39 you're left in darkness and you cannot see. 45:42 That's why Jesus said to Nicodemus, 45:44 "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see." 45:47 Some people refuse to be born again. 45:50 They refuse to allow the Word of God 45:52 to speak to their hearts. 45:54 And so they accept whatever comes along 45:55 because it fits the way they like to live. 45:58 But notice the urgent call from Jesus Himself. 46:01 John 4:23, "But the hour is coming..." 46:04 He said this to the woman at the well. 46:06 "But the hour is coming, and now is, 46:08 when the true worshipers 46:12 will worship the Father in spirit and truth." 46:15 You cannot say the spirit is leading 46:17 and delete the truth from your walk with Christ. 46:20 "For the Father is seeking such to worship..." 46:22 He's looking for people that want the truth. 46:24 He said that's the person I can trust. 46:29 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him 46:31 must worship in" what? 46:33 "Spirit and in truth." 46:35 But make no mistake. 46:38 There are people that are in other denominations 46:40 that find out about the Sabbath and they abandon Sunday. 46:43 They find out about the truth of the Second Coming, 46:45 they abandon the rapture. 46:47 They find that that when you die, you're sleeping, 46:49 and they abandon the idea that you die and go right to heaven. 46:52 They know that there's no one except 46:54 those mentioned in Scripture that are in heaven. 46:57 Everybody else has to wait till Jesus comes. 46:59 They know there is no eternally burning hell, 47:02 so they abandon the idea of the eternal torment. 47:04 They gave up the idea that resurrection happens now, 47:07 they're waiting for the resurrection 47:08 when Jesus comes. 47:10 They do not believe in sin any longer as just a lifestyle 47:14 and they do not follow the ways of the world, 47:16 man marrying man and a woman marrying a woman, 47:19 they've given themselves to the truth of God's Word. 47:23 But be careful because if we follow the world, 47:26 immorality 47:28 will supersede immortality. 47:31 But the Bible gives us the final sign. 47:34 This is powerful. 47:35 The dismantling of Protestantism. 47:39 I was invited... 47:40 And I think I shared this early in the week, 47:41 but more of you are here tonight or today, 47:44 so I mentioned it again. 47:47 I was invited to Washington, D.C., 47:50 to listen to Pope Francis speak to Congress. 47:54 I was invited by a Baptist senator 47:56 from the state of Illinois Mike Bost. 47:58 Wonderful gentleman, 48:00 I met him and I was invited there, 48:02 took Brad Walker with me, 48:03 Brad and I went to Washington, D.C., 48:05 and we were invited to Capitol Hill. 48:07 Brad Walker is one of the production guys. 48:09 One wonderful gentleman. 48:11 And he asked me, he said, "Now I am Baptist, 48:16 I know you're Adventist, I know the pope is Catholic." 48:19 He said, "Could you tell me 48:21 what's actually happening here?" 48:22 He said, "I don't necessarily believe everything 48:24 the pope teaches, 48:25 but can you tell me what you think is happening 48:27 from your point of view?" 48:30 And I thought to myself. "Are you ready?" 48:33 So I started in Daniel 2. 48:36 Then I went to Daniel... 48:37 I started on the four kingdoms of Daniel 2, the gold, 48:41 the silver, the bronze, the iron... 48:43 The feet of iron and clay. 48:45 Then I went to Daniel 7, Babylon, Medo-Persia, 48:47 Greece, and Rome. 48:48 Then I went to Revelation 13, 48:50 brought the United States in it 48:51 when the Roman Empire fell, and then I brought... 48:52 I said, "Now look at where we are." 48:54 We're between Revelation 13:1-10 and 11-18. 48:59 We are in the middle because Rome is going to create 49:02 a coalition with the United States, 49:04 and this very country 49:06 that affords us religious freedom 49:11 is going to repudiate its constitution. 49:14 And we're going to build an altar, 49:16 we're going to build a coalition with Rome, 49:18 and this very country 49:21 that has given us the right to worship according 49:23 to our own dictates will give away 49:26 to the teachings of the power of Rome. 49:28 And today, 49:30 that is happening all around us. 49:31 I'm about to put out a book called Sunday Mask, 49:33 look for it. 49:34 M-A-S-K. 49:36 Showing the Sunday movement over last 40 years. 49:39 It is phenomenal. 49:41 It's documented from not us, 49:43 but from all of those around the world, 49:45 the Sunday Alliance from all over the world, 49:48 Sunday is being pushed with magnificent rapidity. 49:51 But notice the Bible describes 49:53 what's happening in our last days. 49:55 2 Thessalonians 2:3, the Bible says, 49:58 "Let no one deceive you by any means." 50:00 By any means. Why? 50:02 "For that Day will not come unless the falling away comes" 50:07 when? 50:08 "First." 50:10 That's why you cannot leave. 50:12 You got to stay on board. 50:14 "And the man of sin is revealed, 50:16 the son of perdition." 50:18 Yes, all of those that stand on the side of the darkness 50:22 of the enemy will one day be revealed. 50:26 And it's happening in our country. 50:28 All of the Christian denominations, 50:30 many of the major leaders... 50:32 Just not too long ago, 50:33 the ending of 2017 in Kansas City, 50:35 Kansas, Kenneth Copeland 50:37 and many of the evangelical leaders 50:38 all got together to discuss means 50:40 by which they can coalesce and unite with Rome. 50:44 This is common, this is happening today. 50:47 And if you think that we have a ton of time, 50:49 you'll notice that things are happening at such a pace. 50:52 Notice how the Bible predicts what's happening 50:53 in the Protestant world. 50:55 Revelation 13:14 speaking, 50:58 "And he deceives those who dwell on the earth 51:01 by those signs which he was granted to do 51:03 in the sight of the beast..." 51:05 Talking about the false spiritual revival in America. 51:08 "Telling those who dwell on the earth 51:10 to make an image to the beast 51:12 who was wounded by the sword and did live." 51:14 For those of you that may be introduced to this 51:16 for the very first time, 51:17 Revelation talks about four beasts. 51:19 Revelation talks about the beasts, 51:21 the fourth beast of Daniel is the kingdom of Rome. 51:26 We are being told in America, 51:27 it's time for you to recognize the power of Rome. 51:31 It's time for us to go to Rome. 51:33 And I want to tell you ever since President Reagan, 51:35 an ambassador was sent to Rome and we have an ambassador 51:38 in America to the Holy See something not supported 51:41 by our constitution nor our bill of rights. 51:44 But what do we say? 51:45 We have no say. 51:48 And today, 51:49 we are building an altar to the power 51:52 and soon to the homage of the Roman hierarchy. 51:54 But notice, 51:56 the Lord saw this coming 51:57 and these words are more than inspired. 52:00 Testimonies volume five, page 451. 52:04 "When Protestantism shall stretch her hand 52:07 across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, 52:13 when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands 52:19 with spiritualism..." 52:21 That's Satanism. 52:22 "When, under the influence of this threefold union..." 52:26 What threefold? 52:28 Protestantism, spiritualism, and Rome. 52:34 These three power apostate Protestants, 52:37 that means those who claim to believe the Bible, 52:40 but what they practice is not found in Scripture. 52:43 "Under the threefold union, 52:46 our country shall repudiate every principle 52:50 of its constitution as a Protestant 52:53 and republican government, 52:55 and shall make provision for the propagation 52:58 of papal falsehoods and delusions..." 53:00 Follow carefully. 53:01 "Then we may know 53:03 that the time has come for the marvelous 53:06 working of Satan and..." 53:08 What else, friends? Say it with me. 53:09 "And that the" what? 53:11 "That the end is near." 53:14 I'm gonna invite... 53:15 Come on, my brother. 53:22 Today, we need to make decisions 53:25 that we want to be ready for Jesus to come. 53:28 As Lyndon plays this song, 53:29 I want you to be in a prayerful mode. 53:31 Let me tell you why. 53:33 When all these things begin to happen, 53:35 we are told in the book of Luke. 53:38 "When all these things begin to happen..." 53:40 What are we told to do? 53:42 "Look up and lift up your heads 53:44 because your redemption draws near." 53:47 As he plays this song, 53:48 let me make the appeal as he's playing softly 53:50 that somebody here today that sees the moral corruption, 53:54 the rejection of truth, 53:55 the invitation to go back to Rome, 53:56 the complacency in Christianity, 53:58 and they're saying "Pastor, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, 54:02 I see where we are. 54:04 And I don't want to be swept away 54:06 in the tide of popular opinion. 54:09 I don't want to be caught in the quagmire of compromise. 54:13 I want to give my life to Jesus. 54:14 I want to get ready to be in that kingdom. 54:17 I want to give my life to Christ through baptism." 54:20 Now we have those who are being baptized today, 54:22 those who have joined the church. 54:24 I want to ask those who have made their decision 54:26 for baptism to just come on down and join me today. 54:28 You know you're going to be baptized, 54:30 so then come on down and to join me. 54:31 Can we say amen, church? 54:33 Amen. Come on down. 54:34 These are souls that made their decision 54:37 this week to give their lives... 54:39 Come on down. Come on down. 54:41 Come on down. Come on down. Come on down. 54:46 They've made a decision 54:47 that the Lord is not leaving without them. 54:51 But I know there's somebody else that wants to make 54:52 the same decision that God has led them to make. 54:56 I'm opening the doors of the church today, 54:58 as Lyndon plays that song, I surrender all. 55:02 I'm seeing if there's somebody else 55:03 here today that wants to be in that kingdom, 55:05 there's nothing you can give up 55:08 that will leave you worse than you used to be. 55:12 The Lord has a plan for your life far greater. 55:15 And as you surrender to Jesus, 55:18 He will come into your life 55:20 and make a difference for eternity. 55:23 Praise the Lord. Yes. 55:24 Praise the Lord. 55:26 Sing that song, my brother. 55:29 All to Jesus I surrender 55:32 Come on, my lady. 55:34 Praise God. Praise God. 55:38 This young lady just walked through the doors of the church 55:40 this morning. 55:42 God had been calling her all week long, 55:44 she just came today. 55:47 To God be the glory. 55:51 Is there somebody else today? 55:54 How can you hear this message and allow somebody 55:56 to walk in and pass you by? 55:58 Is there somebody else today? 56:04 Today, God is calling you to make a decision. 56:05 The signs are there. 56:07 Jesus is soon to come. 56:10 The glorious return is about to occur. 56:13 Is there somebody else here today? 56:15 Somebody's... 56:17 God is calling you today. 56:22 God is calling you today. 56:26 You might say, "Lord, I need a new start. 56:28 I want to give my life to Jesus." 56:31 Praise the Lord. 56:33 Praise God. 56:34 "I want to give my life to Jesus." 56:36 Yes, there's somebody else coming. 56:38 Yes, there's somebody else coming. 56:41 "I'm gonna give my life to the Lord. 56:42 I want to give my life to Jesus." 56:44 Wherever you are today, just come on down. 56:47 It's between you and Christ. It's between you and Jesus. 56:54 Anybody want to surrender today to the voice of the Lord? 56:58 Anybody more today? 57:00 Anybody today? 57:04 Is there a young person today that want to say, 57:05 "I want to live for Jesus." 57:07 I told you, you don't have any time. 57:09 You don't have any time. 57:11 Today is the day of salvation, today is the acceptable time. 57:16 I'm presuming that everybody's sitting down 57:18 is completely righteous, 57:20 that everybody's locked into Christ, 57:22 but I know that's not the case. 57:24 Don't let the devil lie to you. 57:25 Those of you who've been watching 57:27 the program, 57:28 make your decision to have Jesus 57:30 as the Lord of your life 57:32 so that you will be ready when Jesus comes. 57:33 God bless you. 57:35 Is there somebody else here today? 57:37 Is somebody else here today 57:39 that wants to give his or her life to Jesus? 57:41 Is somebody else here today 57:42 that wants to give his or her life to Jesus? 57:45 You want to surrender to Christ. 57:48 You want to surrender to Jesus today. 57:50 Is there a husband and wife that wants to say, 57:52 "We need a new start today. 57:54 We need a new beginning." |
