COUNTDOWN TO DESTRUCTION - Genesis 7:4

COUNTDOWN TO DESTRUCTION - Genesis 7:4

God gave advance notice even to the day, prior to the flood He used to destroy every living substance from off the face of the earth. The thing is... we have received advance notice concerning the return of Jesus Christ, but not the day nor the hour! Are you ready for that moment? Get your Bible, listen, and be blessed...

This is how you can help me preach the gospel of Christ, salvation for this generation. Well, let's get right to it. Get your Bibles. There's a lot to read because God has a lot to say to us directly from the Word of God. You're listening to That's the Truth. I was glad when they said unto me, praise God, hallelujah. Can I see smiles? I want to see everyone. I know I can't see you at home, but I want to see you, praise God, with the blessing of the Lord, as her sisters were singing, praise God. This is the day which the Lord hath made, but I'm so glad not only that there is a place or that I have a place that I could be where I am right now, praise God, but so glad to be here, praise God, in the house of the Lord. I am gathered with my sisters and my brothers. Thank God, amen. I don't see any naysayers, I don't hear hear any naysaying. Praise God. We are gathered with believers, and I thank God, amen, for this opportunity that we have once again, praise God, to be blessed. Someone say, I am blessed. Amen. And testimonies before the before this live stream started. By the way, my name is Lincoln, and if you're not used to the surroundings, we are live streaming. This is the morning service here in central Newfoundland alongside the Trans Canada Highway. So thank you so much for joining with us. We are glad. Amen, my brothers and sisters who are here this afternoon. We are glad, or this morning, sorry, this uh no afternoon in Newfoundland, but probably morning for everybody else listening. We are glad that you have joined with us, praise God. And I, as I've said so often, I always take uh uh uh I count it, I take it as a joy that you allow us into your houses, that you allow us into your lives with the word of God. Amen. And there's more of that coming up in a moment or two. Praise God. Our Bibles are open. Everyone here in front of me has already read, quoted more than one scripture. Praise God. As we pray, give us this day our daily bread. We've already been well fed. Praise God, amen. A table spread before us, and the word of God, which is important in our lives, no matter where you are listening from. You may be listening from a different country, and this is not based on origin, this is not based on your where you are where you're situated geographically, this is based on every man. Praise God. A sister read a couple of minutes, she goes, not every man has faith. Praise God. And if you fit that category, then I've got word of God for you because faith cometh by hearing, and what we hear today is the word of God. Hallelujah. So I thank God for this. You can help us out because this is not a regular uh hour of live streaming by sharing this link with your friends and family, as some of you have already done, and we will be blessed in a moment or so. I'm gonna pray, but in a moment after after we pray, we're gonna get into the word of God where there is going to be a blessing. Amen. I'm glad there was a word. Amen. We could be sitting in a building where there is a famine, where there is no word. There may be flashing lights, there may be music, there may be a man saying something, but today I count it a blessing that the word we have is God's word. Amen. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God. That's the word that I need. Praise God. And the word was God. Hallelujah. And I thank God today that what we have, what I have in my hands, what I have, praise God, feeding me today, feeding my soul today, pray this is not paper and ink, but it is the word of God, what thus saith the Lord. And I thank God this makes a blessing. Praise God. If you're online, we're I'm gonna be reading uh mostly New Testament. Well, I'm gonna start in the Old Testament, but I'm gonna be reading uh something a little different today. And um the program that is going to um that plays every Sunday at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, we're gonna be looking at the next in the series of what you say matters and what you think matters. So we're we're we're probably a dozen programs in, and uh we're gonna be looking at that, and that's kind of what you see as a description. But this morning we're gonna look at something a little different. It's been on my heart and mind. I wrote down a note in the uh where I take notes as far as meditation is concerned, and I wrote down in my notes, and this is what you were reading in Matthew 25, and sister, you were reading in Matthew 24 today, and we're gonna look at some of those scriptures that Jesus said. But I wrote down in my notes there's a countdown to destruction. The wrath of God is gonna be poured out upon this earth. We may have tribulations, the Bible says that, but the wrath of God, you and I, the sons and daughters of God, we we escape that wrath. We don't go through that. But there is a time, there is a day that is coming. We may not know the hour, but we're gonna look at at how God dealt with situations very similar in the Bible. So this is we're I'm gonna run into that title in a few minutes, but let's all stand. Thank our sisters for singing and for leading us and checking technology and making sure it works. Praise God. And I'm ready to I'm ready to get I'm ready to get into the word of God. We're gonna pray that the Holy Ghost will lead us and the Holy Ghost will be the guide. Praise God. Even though there's a few scriptures that I've set aside, amen. The the in between the scriptures, it's blank, it's up to the Holy Ghost. Praise God to lead us and to guide us and to give me the words, which will be a blessing to each and every one of us today, and until Jesus comes. Hands up, let's pray, let's look up into the hills from whence cometh our help. Father in heaven, we are thankful for this day which you have given us. This is not, this is not nature, this is not Mother Nature, this is not science, this is just not, this is not big boom, this is God. Amen. And beside you, there is none other. And we come here today to glorify you and to honor you and to worship you and to praise you, not only for the things which you have done, but as we go into the scriptures in a few minutes, there's things to come. And I thank God that we can stand in boldness, we can stand in readiness for these things. We can stand not being troubled, as one sister read. We can stand, praise God, as another sister read. Hallelujah, that we are not to fear and not to have any doubt of what is to come because Jesus Christ came and did a work for us. And I thank God for my brothers and sisters listening today, across this nation, across around this world, perhaps, amen, that they be received by your spirit, that they receive what they need today to carry on, to endure unto the end, for the same shall be saved. These are instructions that we receive from your son Jesus Christ. And I thank God that we are in a position today because we have received not only your son, but we have received the power to become children of God today, Lord. I thank God for a blessing upon this place, that we have the liberty, thank God for our leaders. They're occupied, pre-occupied, doing whatever else they're doing today, but it gives us the right and the privilege to open up the Bible, to open up the holy scriptures, and to receive from you with eyes open to see, with ears open to hear, and especially a heart to receive it, Lord. I pray that the seed, I mean the word of God which we read, it doesn't fall by the wayside. Every single person listening that there may be good ground where the seed will take its place, uh, where a root will begin to grow downward and fruit will be shown, fruit will grow upward, so that we can be a light that shines in the darkness that is around this world. Young people listening, and and and all the way up to the oldest person listening, we are not going to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Standing in our classroom, standing in the playground, standing at work, wherever we are, we shall declare the wondrous works of the Lord. In Jesus' name, Lord. I thank God for this anointing which we have. Amen. Upon I pray this upon my brothers and sisters in Jesus' name. Time, amen, is running out for us. We pray for our children and our children's children, wherever they may be today, that they may have a heart, a change of mind, a change of heart, praise God, to become attentive to the word of God and attempted to the times that we do live in. But I thank God today, it doesn't matter what is being read on the headlines, there is a power that has been given us, and we have that power, praise God, over all the power of the enemy today, because of who your son is, because of who Jesus is, and because of who we are in Christ Jesus. Lord, I thank God. Amen. For those listening, Spirit of the Living God, enter into that hospital room, enter into that jail cell, enter into that kitchen, into that basement. Some folks may be walking down the street listening to this broadcast. Wherever they may be, Lord, I thank God today for the anointing that breaks their yoke, that the whatever that they may, as they make the request be known unto you, that they will receive and know that you are a living God, a God who is faithful to his word, Father Heaven, in Jesus' name. I thank God for souls saved yesterday. Praise God, Pastor Michel in congregation. They spent the they spent the night in all night in prayer. Three souls came to Christ, amen, to receive a salvation. And Lord, I thank God for that today. Praise God. Bless our churches in Africa, in Winnipeg as well, and in Montreal. Amen. And this meeting right now that is taking place and virtually being seen by so many of my brothers and sisters, friends and family. I give you all the praise and all the glory for the blessing which we have once again because of you, praise God, because of what you have done for us. In Jesus' name, I pray these things. Amen. Amen. Someone say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, dear. Praise God. So great salvation today that we not, we're not, we don't forget it. We're not neglecting it, but we are here, praise God, to give you the praise and the glory. Amen. Come to enter into his presence, praise God, amen. Come before the Lord. This is what the Bible teaches us. Praise God. Come through his gate. And I thank God today that we have done just this, praise God, with the word of God, anxious, amen, to receive of your words. In Jesus' name, Lord, I pray, praise God, for this blessing. Hallelujah. Praise God. Whatever your need is, my God shall supply your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Praise God. Someone say, by Christ Jesus. Praise God. Doesn't matter where your need is, praise God. If it's corporally or physically or mentally or spiritually or financially, it makes no difference. Praise God. As we ask God, the Bible says amen. Ask and ye shall receive. Praise God. Amen. Blessed be the name of the Lord. He shall give you the desires of your heart, the Bible says, without fear before men as we stand. Praise God in his presence today. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Someone say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God. Someone else say thank you, Jesus. Amen. Say it like you're thankful. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God. Amen. Say it like you mean it. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Praise God. Amen. Before we do anything else, let's give God a good hand tonight, this afternoon. Praise God. Give Him all the praise and give Him all the glory. Hallelujah. Clap unto the Lord at home. Do the same thing. Clap unto God. Praise God. All praise and all glory goes unto Him. In Jesus' name, praise God. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. Well, let's give God a good hand once again. If you love the Lord, put your hands together. Give Him praise and give Him glory. All the praise, all the glory goes to God. Everyone claps. Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise God. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Praise God. I know this is a slightly different hour, so if someone, some of you are listening for the first time, I welcome you, by the way. We're live streaming from the house of God here in Newfoundland. I'm gonna read a scripture before we turn into our subject or our theme for today. Psalm chapter 40 in the third verse, and he hath put a new song in my mouth. Someone say in my mouth. Amen. A couple of months ago started a series saying, What you say is important. Amen. After reading a part of this verse, I can sit here and say, What you sing is important. Amen. It's in your mouth. Praise God. Even praise unto our God. There's the detail. Amen. This is what makes it important. Praise God. Someone say praise. Amen. Many shall see it in fear and shall trust in the Lord. Praise God. And the next verse says, Blessed is the man that maketh his trust in the Lord. Amen. That's the difference. Praise God. People are trusting, you know, they're they're they're waiting for the president to announce the next move. You know, see if the grocery prices will go down or see if the gas prices will go down. They're trusting on our leaders or or whoever makes the decisions today. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's making the decisions. Amen. But I thank God in my life. Someone say, in my life, praise God, I can allow God, God's way, God's will, amen, to be at work in my life. Praise God. I'm in his hands. Amen. I'm not in the hands of the government. Amen. We need to be careful today. Praise God for what is uh what is happening with and and rapidly happening. Amen. I know the description is not correct online. That's for our next broadcast in a few hours from now. But this morning, I'm gonna read. If you want to find in your scriptures, go to the first few pages of the Bible in Genesis chapter 6. And um, I'm gonna use a title this morning a little different, Count Down to Destruction. And I'm gonna begin reading, uh, as I mentioned in Genesis chapter six, but we are living in in that day and age. Amen. And my sister, um, I think you began in Matthew 24, and then my other sister began read some scriptures in Matthew 25. We are gonna be going into those scriptures as well, which are important because this is this is uh the teaching or the instructions of Jesus Christ. The word. Someone say the word. Amen. I don't mind Peter, and I don't mind James, and I don't think the Bible says they were holy men. I know people, there's people don't believe in holy men, but the Bible says they were holy men. So when it comes to Peter, when it comes to James, when it comes to John, Matthew, Mark, these epistles that were written, this is New Testament. You go into the Old Testament, Ezekiel must have been a holy man. Amen, because the Bible says the scriptures were written by holy men, inspired of a Holy Ghost, of a Holy Spirit. Amen. Of God. Praise God. I hope you make the connection. Amen. Of holiness. Praise God. Without such, no man shall see the Lord. Amen. Praise God. Before I forget, the um where our app is up and running. Amen. I saw it for the first time as our sisters were singing. Pastor Kevin pulled me aside. He said, You get the chance to look at the app. That's the truth. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the uh Apple or the iPhones yet. It is it is in development, but it is available for the Androids. So if you're listening on the app, I welcome you. Listening on That's the Truth site, uh godly.tv, I welcome you. And on our Facebook page and our YouTube page as well. Share this link so other people will join us, praise God, for what God has for you and I today. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are you glad to be in the house of God? Amen. I know I've I keep asking you that question, but when you look at, I'm glad I can the I mentioned this last Sunday, and I was in a different location, but still the house of God. And some of you may remember me saying that I can come into this place and I can consider it my sanctuary. Amen. Where I can have where I can have refuge from um chaos, I'll use that word, from the chaos that is this world. Amen. As I said, we don't know what's going up or what's going down. Amen. We don't know what is going to be stabilized. Amen. But what I do know, amen, that while everything seems to be going down and going down, the word of the Lord, praise God, shall stand forever. Amen. That's one thing I know. Amen. And anything that can be shaken, well, it will be shaken. Amen. That's governments, amen. That's kings, that's queens, presidents and prime ministers, amen. Principalities and powers. If you want me to get start speaking King James, president, uh, sorry, principalities, powers, and dominions, all trying to, you know, get their little piece of soil and all trying, you know, their key their earthly kingdom and trying to find some territory that they can claim as their own. Amen. Praise God. And the guy who started that was Lucifer, it was Satan. Amen. God had plans for Mount Zion. God had plans for his son before anything was made, before the creation of this world was made. And then here comes Lucifer saying, I'm gonna set myself up over here. And God's saying, No, you won't. Well, maybe I'll set myself up over. No, you won't. Amen. So this is the person who started this. So we this is why we need to be careful with the choices that we make, because there is consequences. Amen. There's we need to have the response. That's why when you allow yourself to be um trying to think of a good word, uh, governed. I don't know if that's a French word or not, but when you allow yourself to be to be steered, to be governed by the word of God, amen, it puts you into a different direction, it puts you into a different mindset. Amen. Praise God. Can I hear an amen from someone? Praise God. Amen. I know some of us know that, but we need to we need to remind the flesh at all times who's in control. Amen. There's the word I was looking for. Amen. When you allow yourself to be controlled by the word of God, amen. This is God, this is your this is your creator. Praise God. And this is what makes a difference in our lives. Someone say, My life. I want a different scene, I want a difference touch, I want a difference felt. Amen. I want a difference that is in my life. Amen. I want God to use me. Amen. Not refuse me. Amen. Are you meet for the master's use? Praise God. Because the harvest is plenty. Plenty of harvest to be harvested out there. There's all kinds of work to do. What what the kingdom of God is short on is the laborers. Amen. So we I thank God today that we have to be in a um we have to be that person, and I've mentioned this for the past two, three weeks, that person that is standing in the gap. Amen, that has been created. Because of men, women who are disobedient because of theology that is not sound, because of doctrine that is not sound. And we see that even in the days Genesis chapter six. I know my I think I have the an average Bible in front of me. I just want to get the page. Or let me know if some of you are. Are you on page three or page four? Page six in my Bible. What page do you have, sister? You got page seven? We're early. Someone else have page eight. I don't know. I'm on page six. So I am I thought we'd be on maybe page three or four, but the the point I'm trying to make is we're very we're gonna read scripture in Genesis six, very early in. Amen. So the third verse, and I'm gonna read two, three verses of scripture, so I'll give you time to find them because I want to set this up before we go into the New Testament. Praise God. So find Genesis chapter six and the third verse. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh, yet his days shall be in a hundred and twenty years. So now if you turned back a couple of pages, you'll see that 120 years that's like teenagers compared to those. Who are living 800 and 600 and 900 years and 700 years. As I said today, I'm using it for a title, Countdown to Destruction. Amen. God began to limit their life. This is not how God made Adam. I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, and this sparked some comments which have been coming back my way. When God made Adam, he didn't make a Jew, he didn't make a Hebrew. Amen. He didn't make, and I think if I remember, and I hope none of you took it too personally, I think I remember saying he didn't make a Nufi. Amen. He didn't make a Quebec or He didn't make a Canadian. He God made a man in his image. Amen. It's when they decided, when men, when the few from beginning with Adam and his wife, and then the children and the children's children, it's when this, when these people, when these nations began to work against God, this is when the everything began to be divided into nations, to begin divided into, God divided them into languages. And where we where we stand today, multiple languages, hundreds of thousands of languages, thousands of nations. Where is the nation which is of God? Amen. As our sister was testifying, there are people who are dying for no reason at all, but are they ready? Amen. Are they ready to stand before God? I mean, the Bible teaches us that after death is the judgment. So I then I thank God today that we can stand there for every single person listening to me. There's still time for you to decide and to make the right decision, and that's today. We can't put this off. As I said, there's a countdown for destruction. You say, well, if there's a countdown, I'll be ready. Well, the thing is, amen. Give me another two minutes and I'm gonna explain to you what the thing is, what the problem is. So, Genesis 6, the third verse. God says, you're not gonna be living 500, 600, 700, 800, the age of Methuselah, etc. He says, I'm knocking you guys down to 120. And a little later on that got knocked down to three score and ten. Amen. Turn the page to Genesis chapter 7. God is beginning to do his work. He says, I'm gonna use water. He has a man of God, a righteous man, the Bible says, by the name of Noah, who received instruction, and God gave him so many years. Listen to verse um four in Genesis chapter seven. For yet seven days, and I will cause. You're saying, well, God could be a little more generous after all, after all, he's an eternal God. God has time on his hands. Why is he just giving them seven days? Well, if you read a little earlier on, Moses has been at the pre Moses has been preaching the truth for a hundred years. Amen. After a year, and there's 99 years to go, 50 years, whatever, count it down, and God says, seven more days are left. Amen. Seven more days. Noah, did I say Moses? Okay, thank you, sister. Noah. Um the Ark and the flood. So we know where we're at. Genesis 5. Praise God. So as we read this now in Genesis chapter 7, for yet seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth, 40 days and 40 nights. And every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of this earth. Countdown. Who is ready? I already said the wrong name, but I was corrected. Who is ready? Say his name. Who is ready? It's not a trick question. You need to say it louder because nobody else is paying it. Say it louder. Noah. Okay. Um, I know that's the correct answer, but the other answer is the righteous man. He was the one ready. Because the Bible says Noah was righteous. So it's the correct answer. Noah was ready, but maybe you're questioning or taking down notes saying, Well, why was Noah ready? It's because he was a Hebrew? No, no Hebrews yet. He was Jewish? No, no circumcision yet. Well, well, why did he? Because he was a righteous man. He was a a man of God that had, since since I'm in the middle of the series, amen, what you think matters, he was a man of God that was thinking about God. Thinking on God. Because the Bible teaches us, and you can read this this week, a little earlier on in the book of Genesis, the Bible teaches us that their mind wasn't thinking on God or about God. All their mind could do was think evil. Amen. They couldn't go to sleep unless they then unless they planned out their their next evil deed of the following day. Amen. Said this before. God knows what you think, and God hears what you say. And I back this up with scripture. Praise God. You're saying, well, there's a lot of people on this earth. Yeah, but I'm talking about God. Hallelujah. And beside Him, there is no other. I'm not going to belittle God just because I can't understand how it could be possible. All things are possible with God. Amen. So if you're all by yourself in the kitchen and you're asking God, you're making your request be known. God's not busy elsewhere, God's not sleeping. The man of God stood before uh before the the the heathens, the pagans were trying to light the fire and get the fire going on the altar. And the man of God was saying, shout it a little louder because your God must be asleep. Shout it a little louder because your God must be on vacation, sitting on the beach somewhere. Amen. That's their God. But my God today, someone say, My God. Hallelujah, that I serve. Praise God, that loved us so much, that saw me in a situation when I was still attached to my mother's in my mother's, you know, my mother's womb. I was still attached to my mother's navel. That's the King James Bible word. I was still attached. I was messed up. I was in, I would, I was in a different field. I mean today I am in the I'm in the I'm I my shepherd is Jesus Christ who has led me in by the still waters, who's brought me into green pasture. But before there was a time when my pastures were not green. Amen. My pasture was soiled, it was messed up. It was it was uh whether it was sickness or sorrow or religion or denomination, it was messed up. But thank God he made a way out for me. That way is Jesus Christ. He brought me to a place, praise God, where it's clean. I'm on a rock today, I'm not sinking in miry, in miry clay, I'm not sinking in the mud. I'm standing on a rock that shall not be shaken. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And his name is let's give Jesus a good hand. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. Praise God. So I'm not preaching doom and gloom.

unknown 28:56

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 28:57

It may sound like, but I'm not. And for those of you who know, if you've heard me preach before, that's not my style. Amen. My point is to get everyone ready, as many people as possible ready. Praise God. Are you ready? Praise God. Everyone says, Are you ready? I'm asking you. Amen. Praise God. Book of Jonah. Still gonna lay some foundation. So he says, for yet seven. And um I love my King James Bible. Amen. When you when you we just read for yet 40 days. Now in Jonah, the third chapter. Sorry. Uh we just read for yet seven days. There we go. For yet seven days. Now in Jonah chapter three in the fourth verse, it says, yet 40 days. Amen. Every word. Someone say every word. Praise God. So in Jonah chapter 3, the fourth verse, and Jonah first, and Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet 40 days. Hallelujah. Word of God. Amen. Same message. Different timeline, but same message. Yet 40 days. Jonah, the man of God is crying, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. Yet 40 days. Acts chapter 1. Now the thing is, because I started that about five minutes ago, there is not a flood that is coming. The wrath of God, you can read Sodom and Gomorrah, they endured the wrath that came down with fire and brimstone, as the Bible says, the size of hail, whatever struck those five cities. And as we read in the book of Acts, I want to read something in the first chapter because the thing is, there is an event that is to take place. We have all been given notice. And if you haven't, well, you're going to receive notice in a few in the next few minutes. But the thing is, we don't have the advantage of yet seven days, yet 40 days, yet a hundred years. A hundred years would be nice. Because some of you folks, ten years later, you're still not saved. Trust that you don't need a hundred because we don't have a hundred. Amen. God says 120. No, I'm going to knock you down three score. Amen. Sometimes people say, How old are you? I'm minus five and a half. Amen. To my promise, because I'm 64 and a half. Praise God. If with good health, well, I may extend to three score and ten plus another ten, is what the Bible teaches us. 120, not there anymore. But there is an event, and this is one I want to lock into. Jesus is teaching us. Jesus gives us this information in the seventh verse, Acts chapter 1, verse 7. And he Jesus said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power. Amen. Someone say, I underline that this is important. This is God. Amen. And God alone. Amen. Underline the last few, if those of you listening at home, if you can underline the last four words, in his own power. Thank God. We read we read where God is a merciful God. God is long suffering. And you've heard me say this before long suffering is not forever suffering. Amen. Long can go only go for so long. Doesn't matter if you're trying to judge uh distance or judge from one city or to the next, doesn't matter how long it is, it just goes for so long. And this is here, this is God that that in his own power that we have an understanding. And uh this is what one of the last words or last verses that the disciples and you and I as well are receiving from Jesus Christ before he took his place where he is right now, making intercession for you, uh you and I, at the right hand of his father. If someone can say thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah! Praise God. We have an idiot, we have a mediator. The Bible says Jesus taught us no man cometh unto the Father but by me. Praise God. Amen. That puts everybody else out of the running. You have all kinds of theologies and doctrines and religions that show up in this world trying to make trying to make us believe that there's some other way. But when Jesus said, I am the way, not a way, not one of the ways, but the way, that leads me to understand that there is only one way, there is no other way, but there is one way, and his name is Jesus. Praise God. Hallelujah. Ought to be looking for Jesus. Someone say amen. Jesus teaching his disciples, Matthew chapter 24. So again, I'm gonna say the thing is we don't know the countdown, it's still on. We just don't know if it's yet seven days, yet seven hours, yet seven months, yet seven years. We just don't know. Praise God. So we need to be ready. Amen. Bible says it's not for you to know. I know there's ministries, their ministry is just like charts and graphs and timelines and all kinds of this is happening. This is pre, this is post, this is mid-tribulation, this is in-between, this is any time, this is any day. But listen to what Jesus said. I'm gonna try to help things out a little bit based on what Jesus gave us. Verses 6, 7, and 8, Matthew chapter 24. So I'm not gonna count down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 days or hours or months, but we're gonna look at the teachings that Jesus gave us. And I believe I trust and I believe by faith that in a few minutes y'all are gonna recognize and realize, based by scripture, based on what we're gonna read, that time is running out. Praise God. People have asked me, are we in the last days? And personally, this is not a doctrine, but personally, I sit there and say, I think we're in the hours of the last day. And when it comes to days with God, well, God's God's understanding of a day is not our understanding of just 24 hours. So don't get me wrong saying, Oh, God's coming in the last in the next 24 hours. That's what Lincoln said. No, no, don't get me wrong. We need to remain spiritual. Amen. A thousand days is like one, one day is like a thousand. This is what Peter explained to us. I believe it's Peter, what he taught us. So I said, God, God is not um, I don't want to go against scripture, but God is not obstructed, God's not bothered with time. It's you and I that you know starting to get gray in our hair, and then time starts to starts begins to show is its effect, but that has nothing to do with God. Amen. Creator of it, he can move in and out of time, he can shorten the days, he can redeem the time, the Bible says, and I'm sure he is. Amen. See, what does that mean? Well, that means are we the third today? The third of May? Third? Well, that means it it just felt like uh a few days ago when we started 2026. But here we are, January, February, March, April, four months in. That's a third of 2026 is already gone. Now I'm gonna ask you a question: where did it go? Is is time being redeemed? My clock hasn't changed, it still takes tick six, but is is time being stretched? Is time being shortened? By God. God is God, creator of all things. Amen. Lord of all things, what the Bible teaches us. Praise God. So I want you to know, I mean, time is for some of you listening, time is running out, and ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Oh, I've already heard the rumors, and I've already heard of the wars. Okay, well, let's keep reading. Okay, like I said, countdown. So the wars and the rumors of wars have already started. Tick, tock, tick, tick, tock, tick, tock. I'm half hour into this sermon. It feels like five minutes ago when the sisters were singing. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Okay, wars and rumors of war. Check. See that ye be not troubled. Amen, sister. There's that promise. Praise God that we're ready. I'm not troubled. Wars and rumors of wars. For these things must come to pass, but the last few words of this verse, six in Matthew 24, but the end is not yet. Oh, there's that word again. Yep, for seven days, yet for 40 days, yet, but the end is not yet. Like I said, you gotta love the King James. Amen. Every word, how it's written, from jumping out of the Old Testament into the New Testament, the word Jesus Christ Himself is giving us is teaching us, is giving us this instruction for nations shall rise against nation. Oh, that's happening already. So if the wars and the rumors of wars were ten, nine, now we're down to eight. If you want to, if you want to simulate a countdown from ten, nine, eight, for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Oh, now we're down to seven. Ten, nine, eight, seven. Amen. Countdown. And there shall be famines, six, and pestilences, five, earthquakes, four, diverse places, yeah, all over the place. Maybe down to three and a half. And all and Jesus said he summarizes in verse eight. He said, All these are the beginning of sorrows. It's just getting started. But as I said, 10, I want you to feel the urgency of this message, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, and he's just getting started. Thank God. Let's read what Paul said. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. We're gonna get back to Jesus in Matthew 24 and 25, but we're gonna the um based on revelation from Paul and from Peter, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. I'm gonna jump in and out with some um, how shall I say, circumstantial scripture. It's gonna make a difference in how you think and how you act and how we receive what we are hearing today. Second verse, 1 Thessalonians 5, 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. Hallelujah. There's a countdown, but as I said, the thing is, we just don't know where we're at. Amen. I use some numbers, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. I maybe I maybe uh may have sped things up a little bit, but when we read the scriptures, thank God they're still today for those of you who need to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved. Hallelujah. Not everybody has called, not everyone has faith, not everyone has the word of God, not everyone is sitting in a place where the where the preaching of the word of God is brought forth, amen, by the leading of the Holy Ghost for the good of my soul. Amen. I could change my message and preach a message for the good of for the good of the of the of the membership.

unknown 41:03

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

Fill some seats, increase the bottom line. But that kind of teaching or preaching doesn't get people to heaven. Amen. I've been told that you sometimes some of the things you say you make people squirm. Well, if they can squirm their way into heaven, thank God for it. Amen. Then to sit there comfortable, half asleep, chin down in their chest, coasting or cruising, you know, their way into hell. Amen. Do you hear do you have ears to hear? Amen. Second Peter, Peter brings us even, he gives us more instruction on this subject. Second Peter chapter 3, verse 7, but the heavens and the earth which are now. Now I underline those three words because that's a good reminder. Praise God. Right now, we do have the pestilence, we have the earthquakes, we have the wars, we have the rumors of wars, but we still have the earth, which is now. Amen. We sort our garbage, we compost stuff that can be, we recycle stuff to be recycled, we compost stuff that is compostable, and our garbage, our plastics, the stuff that doesn't dissolve goes into a different container. Trying to prolong the earth, trying to protect the earth, which is all good, but there is a countdown. There's a there's a day coming, and Peter gives us, let's continue reading verse 7, 2 Peter chapter 3, verse 7. But the heavens and the earth which are now by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But beloved, be not ignorant, ignorant of this one thing that that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slacking. I quote the scripture often, verse nine. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, but he is long suffering to usward. Someone say to me. 2 Peter chapter 3 in the ninth verse. Someone say to me, Praise God. Listening on listening on online, listening at home this morning. I want you to say to me, God is He knows who you are. Can someone say Amen? The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness, as some people say. Amen. Because I know, I personally know people that that believe that will tell me Jesus is not coming back. Doesn't work that way. Amen. I've been told to my face that the revelation which Paul received. It's evil, it's false, it's not scriptural, it's not biblical. They cancel the writings of Paul because of his revelation. Amen. These are people that I meet, and you try to convince them and sit there and say, What I have, as far as 66 books of the Bible is concerned, what I have which is truth, what I have which I need to read and to put to work, not just not just read it and just you know, close the book and say I've done my duty. Once I've read it, once I've understood it, once I've received it, I become a doer of this word. Praise God. Amen. To see how God is able to be with me, to see how God is able to accomplish and fulfill his promises. Praise God, that he has given us through his word. Amen. We just read here again. I'll go back. For God is not slack concerning what? 2 Peter 3:9. Are you reading with me? The Lord is not slack concerning his promise. Praise God. The day I realized this scripture verse, knowing that God is true and knowing that God is faithful, is the day I began to open up the Bible, open up the word of God. Let me get my Bible here. Open up the word of God. And you know what I began to look for? Anyone got an idea? Promises. If God's not slack, if God made a promise and he's a keeper of his word, keeper of his promise, I began to look for promises. Hey, there's a promise. God, this one belongs to me. Amen. This is the God I serve. This is how you and I can talk to God because of his word. Amen. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, verse 9. As some men count slackness, but his long suffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Seeing then that all these things, verse 10, shall be dissolved. What manner of persons ought ye to be? I'll let you think about that for a moment or two. Who am I? Who are you in Christ? In conversation. Conversation is an old English word, an old King James Bible word for life. How you live. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation, holy living, holy thinking. These will tie this in with what I'm about to preach in a couple hours from now. Holy understanding, holy believing. Someone say holiness. Follow peace. Or the peace sign. Amen. When you read Ephesians chapter 2, talking about Jesus, it says, For he is our peace. So a little later on, when it says follow peace, who do you think I'm following? Hallelujah. When you say, Well, there's no peace, the president declared war. Ah, the president declared war based on some bad advice, some bad counseling that he's receiving.

unknown 47:21

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 47:21

I said this two, three weeks ago, and then this week I heard I heard one of his pastors, Franklin Graham, pray, pray a bunch of prayed some lies in. If you find that prayer online, it's a Donald Trump standing right beside this ungodly man, or unfortunately, miscombobulating the scriptures and mixing things up while he was reading his prayer and stumbling. There was no anointing, there's no spirit of God. Can't be the man of God, it's not called bad advice. Amen. We have a prime minister, the same thing. He was leaning this way for the war, now he's starting to come back saying, Well, maybe I was wrong. I've changed my mind since I've seen gas prices go up. Amen. My trust has got to be in God, whether I voted blue, red, or if I voted or didn't vote. Green, if you're listening in the U.S., you got red and blue. In Canada, we got green, we got purple, we got light blue, we got dark blue, we got red, we got all kinds of options. But the only option that is going to be in enduring, that's going to persevere to the end, is Jesus Christ. And this is what I preach today is Him crucified. We have the wars, we have the rumors of wars, but God, this is God's time. It's in his power. So I don't need some pastor, some false pastor going, it's power, putting power on a man, because we're reading where this is in God's power, not the president's power, not the prime minister's power, not in my power. This is a prophet of God, the Son of God Himself, Jesus Christ, saying, Hey, well, I'll who's pulling the strings? Just to use a modern day expression. Amen. It's God, it's his will that God set things in motion the day day one. And I've said this before. I showed up in 1962. I've got nothing to say about it. I just got to fall into my place. Amen. Which is to be a sanctified vessel, meet for the master's use, so that I can be used of God, used by God, and used for God, and used for his kingdom. People show up and they think they can change God or convince God or manipulate God or negotiate with God. What we're reading today, the only negotiation you have to do is negotiate your way out of sin, out of religion, out of denomination, out of whatever else that is that is so easily besets us today. Doesn't matter what you turn on. When I post my scriptures on my scriptures and when I post the events on Sunday morning, I am, and some of you know that I am focused on the on the word of God, and focused on what I'm gonna preach on and teaching. And I have my um my finger, sometimes I use the little the pen with the little rubber tip on it. I have it so ready when I call up Facebook, I hit the page so so before I can see anything that shows up on my stream, because it's always negative. So very quickly, I'm sitting there and going, okay, call up Facebook in French, because I have to switch from one account to the next. I don't want to see anything streaming, not on a Sunday morning. Amen. And it's hard pressed to be bothered or to be disturbed or to be distracted by these things during the week. When I have some extra time, oh let's see, is there you know another or is there something else going on? But as I said, it doesn't matter what God is still God despite the circumstances, despite the situation, despite what's taken what it what besets us so easily. Amen. And the devil is making sure that it certainly is easy to be to be beset with the burden, to be beset with sin. Amen. Read what the writer in Hebrews wrote in this in Acts chapter 12. Praise God. We have a race to run. Amen. There's a new doctrine. I mentioned this before we went online. There's a new doctrine that's permeating within the theological, you know, doctrinal church systems today, and trying to trying to do away with any, trying to do away with Ephesians chapter 2 in the 10th verse. For we are his workmanship, praise God, created unto what? Good works. Amen. You know your pastor is fake and phony and full of the devil when he says when he quotes Jesus saying, If any man, he the man that endureth, the person that endureth until the end, the same shall be saved. Well, that's a gospel of works and not a gospel of grace. Well, you know what? It's mercy and grace that taught that gospel, it's truth that taught that gospel. His name is Jesus Christ. You ought to change your job. Amen. Because you're leading people to destruction. Ephesians chapter 2 in the 10th verse. Amen. This is a gospel of grace, for we are saved by grace. Amen. Not by works. So I've got nothing to boast about but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This is who I honor, this is who I glorify, and this is who I stand upon, and this is who I'm boasting about, not me. Like I said, I showed up in 1962 while I was yet in my sin. Amen. God looked down and said, I so love this world that I send my only begotten Son, that if any man, if any woman believe upon him, whosoever believeth upon him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life. I'm not sending him into this world to condemn this world, to judge this world, but that the world through him and by him may be saved. This is the love that God had for you and I. Praise God. This is how and this is how we live today. Amen. So if somebody stands up in the flesh, doesn't matter who they are, whatever denomination they're from or they may not be from, when they start to misinterpret the scriptures, I need to be careful. That's a fiery dart that is satanic that I need to quench. That's when I need to put up the shield of faith and saying, Stay away, devil. Hallelujah. Because I know what thus saith the Lord. Praise God. Hallelujah. And if you're sitting there saying, Well, I don't know what you got on your phone, but I ain't never seen that on my phone, good. I'll trade phones with you. But this is what's out there: anything and everything that the devil can use, that the devil can put together and throw our way, like I said, fiery dart. Thank God for the shield of faith. Praise God. Having done all to stand, stand therefore. Amen. Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Jesus Christ has made you free. Don't be entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Hallelujah. Praise God. I may be yoked, but it's not a yoke of bondage. I have a yoke, praise God. I'm yoked with Jesus Christ. Amen. Easy. Someone say easy. Amen. Light. Praise God. Someone say light. Praise God. As long as you have that one mind. Verse 10. 2 Peter 3. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away. Are you thinking about that? Count down to destruction. Just keep reading. In which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Countdown to destruction. Amen. I've said this before. You gotta get saved. I've said this before. You don't get a do-over. I don't have a do-over. One life. A throne. Hallelujah! Let's keep reading. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness? Looking for, verse 12 is important, looking for, and hasting unto the coming of the day of God. Wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Looking for, are you looking? Are you ready? This is the understanding when you read the word hasting. I know some of you may be in a hurry, but the word the knowing what the word in is is the word hasting is used in the scripture verse. You can look it up if you want, but it's to be prepared. Amen. And so I'm gonna go back to what Jesus said now in Matthew chapter 24, verse 44. I'm gonna pray in a few minutes. Are you glad for the word? I mentioned this a couple of last week, maybe, or a couple of weeks ago. And I want I'm gonna use scripture to confirm Matthew 24, verse 44. It's Jesus again. Some of you have a one of those Bibles with red letter print. Are you reading red letters? Amen. That means Jesus. Matthew 24, verse 44. Therefore be ye also ready, for in an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh. Therefore, be ye also ready. Amen. Also ready. As ye see these things come to pass, also be ready. Don't just be an innocent bystander like so many people are today. They see the wars, they see the rumors, the pestilence. Oh, next time I'm gonna change my vote. Won't help. Amen. If red is in power or blue is in power, won't help. Because God is not in power. God ultimately, I mean, God, these things are uh prophesied, if you would, or predicted, if you want another word, but these things are prophetic prophetically um empowered by God, and they take place. What you and I do about it, not gonna change much. It's not gonna change the 10, the 9, the 8, the 7, the 6. There's one thing you can do about it, and that is also, thank you, my sister, also be ready. Hallelujah. That's up to you and I. Amen. You can have all kinds of preachers or pastors, so-called, laying hands on the prime minister, the president, the king, and the queen. It's not gonna change much unless they are prophetically endued with the spirit of God under the anointing. But when you have trouble to refer to the scripture and it's messed up or misinterpreted, you know the anointing of the spirit of God is not upon that person. Prophecy is gonna line up with the Bible. I had this out with a false prophet once, he prophesied something that says, You're you're off the Bible, you're country, contradicting the Bible. Oh, yeah, but I'm still a prophet of God. No, you're not, because God said it first. You can't just show up and change God's mind, change God's word, change God's destiny. If you want me to use that word, I don't want to get too too carnal, but change the direction that we're going in. I mean, the audacity, the audacity that some people have, backed up by their Bible school certificate on their wall. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Hell is for real. This is what people don't understand. This is what is not being preached today. I'm reading Matthew 24. I want you to read this verse, Matthew 25. Then shall he also say verse 41. Again, this is red letter, this is Jesus Christ teaching us. For those of you, and I when they come, I believe I could have mentioned this last Sunday in English and or in French, but I I want to bring I'm gonna say it again. In fact, I'll just say it till Jesus comes. Because you have people today walking around saying, Oh, God is, you know, if there is a God, God is a God of love. God would never make hell for his for his for for you and I. No, he didn't. So do something so you don't end up there. Amen. Because God made a way out. I've said this before. Amen. People say, What do I have to do? Do nothing, go to hell. That's a summary, that's a biblical summary, and I'll back it up with scriptures if I need to. Why do you think people don't like, you know, and by people I mean false preachers, false religions? Why do you think they don't like Ephesians 2 in the 10th verse? They love eight and nine, and so do I. Seven, eight, nine. I love it because that's what saved me, grace. Well, once I got saved, I gotta follow peace. That's doing something with holiness, that's doing something else. Amen. Sanctificate. God says I'll sanctify the vessel so that I can use you. God can't use something that is corrupted, that is unsanctified, not fit for the master's use. That's English that we understand. King James says, meet, ready, acceptable for the master's use. You and I, we just sit there, that's not fit. I don't want to be unfit for the kingdom of God. I don't want to be unfit. Sister quoted it. Amen. Let not your heart be troubled. Where I go, there shall you also go. You shall also be with me, for I've prepared a place for you. There's a place for us that Jesus has prepared for us, but it when it comes to hell, it wasn't prepared for you and I. It was when you read verse 41, then shall he say unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. That's why God made hell. Now the gates had to be enlarged because more than the devil and his angels, we're ending up in that place. But we can change that. As I said, do nothing, you'll end up in hell. What must I do? One of the most pertinent questions ever asked to be saved, to see the kingdom of God. What must I do? What must I do at home? Say it. 3, 2, 1. What must I do? Emphasis on the last word, do. That's a gospel of works. What must I do to be saved? Acts 16, verse 30. Thank you, brother. And Paul, let's read, let's bring it, bring it back in context, verse 28. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. Then he called for a light and sprang in and came trembling and fell down before Paul and Silas. They were in bonds. They're they're they're um they're in uh I don't know if they were in stocks, but they were in bonds, and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? What must I do? I gotta remember that scripture verse. Trying to memorize it right now. Acts 16, verse 30. What must I do to be saved? Some of you, that question, I'm gonna answer that. We'll let Paul here, we'll put it in Paul's words, and I'm gonna come back. Verse 31, and Paul said, Paul and Silas, they preached him the gospel of Christ. They said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved in thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house, and he took them that same hour. Listen, it doesn't take long for you to begin doing things, not to get saved, but once you are saved, this like I said, what's coming into the churches, what's been kind of lurking in the backgrounds, and now what it's coming out, trying to get people to sit there and do nothing. Amen. More than one verse in the Bible. Oh, yeah, he quoted a verse. Yeah, man shall live by every word, not just by one verse. So when there's a scripture, when someone says, What must I do to be saved? It doesn't take long, two, three verses later, in the same hour that night, they washed their stripes and they were and were and they were and was baptized, he and all his house straightway. Straightway kind of means right away, didn't hesitate. I'm saved, show me some water. Okay, get saved. Open you open up the word of God, begin to do what am I gonna do? Amen. How can these things be? Was a reference that I was using in John chapter 3. A church worker, a church leader coming to Jesus Christ and couldn't understand. He says, How can these things be? And Jesus spoke to him in simpler terms for him to receive the the to receive Jesus Christ, to receive the work that Jesus Christ came to establish. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Repent. Matthew chapter 4, the first sermon, the first recorded sermon that we have of Jesus Christ was what? Repent. For the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen. There is a message of repentance. Repentance is doing something. When someone says you don't have to do anything, thank God Jesus did what he did. Now it's up to me to do what I need to do. Hallelujah. I need to confess the name Jesus Christ. Amen. A name which is holy, a name which is to be reverenced. Hallowed be thy name, Father in heaven. This is how Jesus taught us to pray. Not to use these names in vain. Prepared for the I'm gonna pray in a couple of minutes. Time to get ready. Because this is what we read. Therefore, be ye also ready.

not ready today now is the opportunity that you have listening online sitting in front of me now is the opportunity that you have to be ready to count down as I said when God makes his move and no one gets gets gets out no escape you know they're building bunkers you know a mile under the earth's surface no escape for whoever's lying at the bottom of the ocean God says I know where you're at when the mountains will be shaken and they crumble and bury you know most of us have I haven't not yet because I'm still young 64 but some of us we've prepared you know plots and burials and whatever we're gonna go down six feet under if Jesus does not come first some folks are gonna be buried under a whole mountain six feet not gonna change six feet or a whole mountain doesn't change anything with God that's what the Bible says the earth is gonna quake and as I said you won't be sixty you might be sixty or it might be six hundred feet under God still knows where you're at blessed be the name of the Lord Amen I'm trying to think it was the last funeral that I did I think it was it was the first time and I didn't know it was they they didn't really prepare me for this and they they uh the the casket was moved after I after I preached and and um tried to get people into to Christ and honor the man for what he was and and um they said we're changing buildings we're going over into another building I go building I thought it was time to lower the casket and they didn't lower the casket they raised it up and put it inside a crypt and I said well this is new to me and uh that's sealed and cooled and trying to keep corruption from corrupting any further but amen this was my understanding and uh for those of you who know me I mean they asked me to say the final prayer the for the final benediction and I looked at him and I said well my brother you're closer to heaven than I am if that trumpet is to sound now before I and I turn around people were falling they were I'm not saying falling under the power they were just fainting because of what I said I said I better change uh oh this is when I just look I could see that the the lift going up like this and there's at least 150 people behind me in the room watching the watching the casket literally being raised up the casket's going up going up and there was a crypt here and then there was a second level crypt he was like in the third level crypt he's getting real close closer to heaven than I was and they open up the crypt and they slid him in and there's a space right beside him for his wife and um praying for their family we even spoke a couple of days ago this was a year ago well over a year ago and I looked at my brother says well when the trumpet sounds amen there's somebody under a different condition not so much buried amen he's waiting the recompense of his reward but different different situation God know but God knows that's my point I'm trying to make amen buried underground God knows amen sitting right there God knows amen and before I pray sister I'm gonna share a little bit with what you said because I never thought of that before amen my sister says she said I I watch my pastor every Sunday and she says I wonder if pastor is live streaming correct me if I get this wrong if pastor is live streaming and all of a sudden the trumpet was to sound and he's gone amen my sister has her hands up right now can you imagine if that was to take place last week we had a technical problem the screen went black and there's some words I think it was last week I think it was last week but I was still around came back to the live streaming I'd sat I'd taken my seat sat down figure it out had a little bit of a break mid-sermon amen that's not what she's talking about she's talking about when I'm gone for good amen there's gonna be no more if I'm in part two of a four-part series there's gonna be no part three and part four because Jesus came amen pardon me yes it can happen yes I was just about to say that it can happen right now is what my sister is saying and somehow this never came the imagination that I have my sister this never came to my mind to preach a live stream service and allow God to say this is the time this is the hour this is the moment I won't be thinking of it I'm thinking of the next verse I got to quote and the next scripture that I need to read. Amen but so in the hour that I think not be read reaching for those buttons something went wrong I'll try YouTube or look they're still live streaming on YouTube because sister couldn't turn the system off. She's gone with me you don't know how this touched me up there I could barely stay sitting in my seat when you were testifying because I'm sitting there saying and like I said most of you know me you know how I think outside the box and how I think my imagination but that one that never came to mind now I got something to go to God say God I don't know when I don't know when the hour is but praise may it be live stream so folks can get to see uh oh let's pray before that moment comes let's all stand I'm gonna quote my sister right now when she said a minute ago she said it may be right now before you run out of time if you're listening to me right now before it's too late father say God be merciful unto me a sinner ask yourself that question what must I do to be saved then ask for the mercy of God tonight today listening hallelujah thank you thank you Jesus someone say thank you Jesus to be ready amen if it doesn't happen a live stream you may be in your living room you may be comfortably tucked in bed maybe in your kitchen you may be shopping for groceries driving down the road someone say ready hallelujah ready or not he is coming hallelujah father in heaven it is my prayer that every single person listening at this time at this moment that they be ready that they get ready by the time this prayer is over that they be ready father in heaven no matter where they are listening that they turn to you for the grace to be saved for your mercy to be upon us today to know that forgiveness is working in us with you to know the Lord Jesus Christ in salvation to have received him and the power to be a son and to be a daughter of God today Lord I pray this message does a work in the hearts and in the minds of those listening my sisters and my brothers as well friends people that I've never met may never meet but by preaching Jesus Christ and him crucified precious blood which was shed on Calvary that this difference can be made in our lives today to be ready attentive and listening for the sound of that trumpet hallelujah for that day is coming countdowns already started as we look there's the wars the rumors of wars the pestilence the earthquakes all these we see the signs it's beginning there it is as Jesus taught us but we know that the beginning has begun a short while ago and every day that we have every day that we we receive because of your long suffering because of your patience towards those who are still yet to be saved but time is running out Lord I pray for the laborers even today they're gonna start knocking on a door knocking on a place where they can speak the word of God I've got something to read I've got something to say to make a difference in their lives of their friends and their families Lord I thank God for a for every single person listening to us for the past hour here from central Newfoundland Lord I thank God for the blessing which we have to open up the word of God and to see it to read it with eyes that are opened and I pray the same thing upon my brothers and sisters that have taken the time to be with us bless them bless their children their household in Jesus' name that they have their hearts and their minds praise God positioned to receive from you.
