Escape - Kingdom Judgement

So today I want to talk to you about escape.

Are in the words of Dora of Finding Nemo, escape.

Amen. So we're going to escape because

there is a judgment, Amen. You understand that we we run in

circles when it comes to, you know, people that we tend to

listen to and gravitate towards where, you know, we all always

are talking about victory or faith in these particular

things. But sometimes we lose

perspective that there is a judgment, Amen.

And so I want to look at this here from Second Peter, chapter

2 Peter 3 · chapter mention

3, verses one and two. And I've got quite a few things

we want to cover today, so we'll be very diligent.

But it says that Peter writing this particular letter says

this. This is now beloved, the second

letter I'm writing to you in which I am stirring up your

sincere mind by way of reminder for many of you.

I'm going to remind some things for some in here.

It may be something you've never heard before.

He goes on to say that you should remember the word spoken

beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord

and Savior spoken by your apostles.

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come

with their mocking, following after their own lusts and

saying, where is the promise of His coming forever since the

fathers fell asleep? All continues just as it was

from the beginning of creation. Let me stop right here for a

moment. Listen, I want you to know that

yes, there have been generations before us that have talked about

the coming. In fact, every generation has to

have a revelation of His coming again.

It is not something that we should think about.

Well, it happened. Put it on the shelf.

Have no thought. In fact, the Bible tells us to

look up and see that our redemption draweth nigh.

You know, I've been pastoring and, and, and, and, and as an

apostle of this particular location for 21 years.

And of the 21 years, I've never been more impressed in my spirit

concerning the return of Jesus. And it's because there are

things happening within the planet right now that is letting

us know that it is extremely likely that he could come in our

generation. Now, you can discredit that and

say, well, I don't know. And you know what?

No one technically knows, only the Father.

But it would be in your best interest to have faith for in

your generation, then you to put it on a shelf and act like it's

not and only for it to happen and you miss out.

Are you hearing me? So with that being said, we need

to understand that the Lord is is coming and there are a lot in

these last days that are going to mock that are going to act

like it's not this way, that they are basically more

concerned about the things of this earth than the return of

the king. Verse 5 says, For when they

maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God

the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of

the water, and by water through which the world at that time was

destroyed, being flooded with water.

But by His word, the present heavens and earth are being

reserved for what? They're being reserved for what?

For fire kept for the day of judgment and destruction of

ungodly men, there is a fire that is kept for a day of

judgement and destruction of ungodly men.

And in our planet where there are over 8 billion people, of

which only about 2 billion attest to be Christians.

And if you started to talk to the 2 billion, there may be some

challenges of whether they're actually born again or not.

Because not every church that is by the world standard considered

a Christian Church actually believes that Jesus died.

Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave.

And he's the only way to the Father through his blood,

through the forgiveness of sin, through a confession of faith

that Jesus Christ is your Lord. So it could be even less, which

tells me that right now on our planet, at least 6 billion

people are considered ungodly to the father of which destruction

is imminent in their lives. What does that do for you?

What should that do for us in the church?

Are we going to continue to be casual?

Are we going to continue to just sit back in our air conditions

facility and think only about how we prosper, how we are

victorious, how we're going to overcome while 6 billion are

marked for destruction? You are passing by people day in

and day out that have the smell of Hell's flames on their lives

and we're not even taking notice.

Say Amen. Anyway, so there is a fire that

is reserved and kept for a day of judgment.

Look what it says in Romans chapter 6 verse 23.

Romans 6:23

You know this. It says for the wages of sin is

but the free gift of Jesus Christ or of God is eternal life

in Christ Jesus our Lord. It still is applicable today

that the wages of sin is death and there is ungodly people that

death is their future eternal punishment.

See, today there's a lot of things out there saying that

Hell's not even real. And honestly, I'm just going to

be extremely technical. The Bible calls it the lake of

fire. There is a lake of fire.

This is not hypothetical. This is not something that is

just of our imagination. This is not just something that

is mystical. This is a literal place that

exists because in the Kingdom of God there is a prison system,

and the prison system is the lake of fire where all

ungodliness will exist forever, being tormented because of their

ungodliness, their unrighteousness, solely because

they failed to confess Jesus Christ as Lord, because all have

sinned. You and I both were in this

position of sin. You and I both lived it, played

it, practiced it. Some of us would consider

ourselves professionals, and all the while we are marked for

destruction. But God?

But God? I said, But God.

Have we forgot but God? I mean, when we hear a song,

thank you for the cross, it should drive us to absolute to

our knees. It should put us in this place

where we are recognizing. But God, I was marked for

destruction. I was destined for the fire.

I should not be acquitted of my crime, but God being rich in his

mercy and he's still merciful for the 6 billion people on our

planet right now. But how can they be saved unless

somebody is saying something? Ephesians chapter 2 verses one

Ephesians 2 · chapter mention

through 3 says this. You were dead in your trespasses

and sin in which you formerly walked according to the course

of this world, according to the Prince of the power of the air,

of the Spirit that is now working in the sons of

disobedience, 6 billion people on the planet today.

Their father is the devil, and they're disobedient.

Among who? Among them?

We too all formerly lived in the lust of our flesh, indulging the

desires of the flesh of the mod, and were by nature children of

wrath even as the rest, meaning that God was angry.

A lot of people are going around today saying God's not mad at

you. God is angry at sin and he is

storing wrath for the ungodly and the ungodly or ungodly

because they are sinners. Oh, you don't want to hear this?

How? Why is it that we're do?

Does God love everyone on the planet?

Yes, he does. Has he provided so that no one

has to be thrown into the lake of fire?

Yes, he has. But to say that he's not angry

is not scriptural. These are children of wrath.

When God sees them, He knows you don't have to be like that.

You don't have to act like that. You don't have to live that way.

I have paid the price for you. Didn't that person tell you

about me? Didn't that person tell you

about me? Didn't that person share about

me? Didn't that person say you have

no excuse to sit around acting like you acting when you can

confess me as Lord? And if you keep doing this, I am

coming. I am coming.

I am coming. Because he can love and still be

angry. All you have to do is read a

little bit of the Gospels and see when Jesus went into his

house that was supposed to be a place of prayer, love walked in

the room and turned tables over. And I'm telling you, God has no

place for the ungodly. He has provided for them to have

an escape. And they are without excuse.

Romans even says they're without excuse.

Just creation alone identifies the attributes of our Creator.

Come on. Amen.

And so we all live this way. We were children of wrath, but

because of our confession of faith, we came out.

But notice we were lived according to the lust of our

flesh. We indulge the desires of the

flesh and of the mind. We were by nature because all

have fallen short of the glory of God.

We were separated eternally, cut off from God.

How did this position tap take place in the earth?

Romans chapter 5 verse 12 says. Therefore, just as through one

Romans 5:12

man sin, one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, so

death spread to all men because all sinned.

How did? Who was this one man in Genesis

Genesis 2 · chapter mention

chapter 2? His name is Adam, for God told

Adam his son. He said, Adam, you can eat from

any tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of

good and evil, you shall not eat.

For the day you eat you will surely die.

He did not physically quit breathing.

He died spiritually. His spirit man was cut off.

And get this, this man who was made in the image of God, who

was given the ability to rule and reign the world, have

dominion, to take God's heavenly Kingdom and reproduce it on the

planet, sin simply by eating a fruit.

He didn't murder anybody. And all the lists of things that

we're going to see here in a minute.

He simply disobeyed his father and through 11 action of

disobedience when Dad came in the garden in the cool of the

day, just one action of disobedience, just doing not

what Father said. He didn't even want to be in his

presence. He was afraid and all he did was

disobey once. How in the world could we come

into His church and act like we could still toy with the world

and lift our hands and worship and think that He is OK?

Have we forgotten what we came out of?

And why would we ever want to go back?

Let me go on. So sin enters the earth because

Adam has fallen. We call it the fall.

Many people talk about the fall. Obviously there was a time

before the fall. There'll be a time after the

fall when everything is set right.

But we're in that moment right now, and there are actions,

behaviors. There is what is called sin that

God hates and it causes him to be angry and it causes him to

bring wrath. Now wrath isn't without mercy,

but it's wrath nonetheless. And we see this in the

documentation of our old covenant where God, when it when

his nation would disobey him repeatedly, eventually he had to

pull back and allow wrath to take place and they would cry

out. How long will you be angry with

us? And the reason he's angry is

because he has to let them know. You cannot live like this, like

the rest of the world, and expect my blessings.

You cannot live like the rest of the nations and have other gods

and expect me to be OK with it. No, I do what I say.

I said if you want to be blessed as a nation, you're going to do

these things. You will obey me, you will keep

my statute, you'll keep my commandment.

But if you do not, then all these things are going to take

place in your life. And he was merciful and he was

long-suffering. But there came a time that God

himself, who is the king, has to stay with his word.

And he says you are now my wrath is coming on the nation.

This nation will overtake you. You'll become a slave to it.

It will throw down your city. And all the while to remind

them, if you just stay with me, none of this would happen.

None of this would happen. And when they recognize you're

right, Lord, we're now in slavery because we went after

the gods of the other nation. We sacrificed our children.

We did this, we did that. Father, forgive us.

He was merciful, He forgave them, He gathered them back.

Boy is God rich in mercy. But we are not to live away so

that the mercy of God is constantly having to be in play.

Isaiah 311 says yes. Woe to the wicked Center, for

they will get exactly what they deserve.

People say all the time, you know what?

If he's such a loving God, how could he send someone to hell or

the lake of fire? He doesn't.

They want to go, He does because he gives them what they want.

Life without him, which isn't life, is actually death and it

is a punishment. It is torment.

It is a real location that exists.

Look what it says in Revelation 21, eight.

It says this. But As for the cowards, Oh, I

like this translation here. But As for the cowards, and the

ignoble, and the contemptible, and the cravingly lacking in

courage, and the cowardly submissive.

And As for the unbelieving and faithless?

And As for the depraved and defiled with abominations?

And As for the murderers and the lewd and the adulterous and the

practices of magic, art and the idolaters, those who give

supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God, and all

liars, those who knowingly covet untruth by word or deed, all of

these shall have their part in the lake that blazes with fire

and brimstone. This is the second death.

You're passing people every day that's destined for this

location. Every day destined.

Destined because they are cut off every day.

Oh, it's quiet in this Presbyterian Church.

Have we become so firm in our own personal victories?

I mean, we have been sold a personal gospel for so long that

all you care about is being right with God by yourself, for

yourself, for your own self, for your own little kids, and have

no concept for the rest of the world or anyone that's within

the church body because we're disposable.

You get sideways with us. You'll go find another little

group. Yeah, acting like the rest of

the world happens all the time because we think it's personal.

Well, He will personally save you, but He saves you to be in a

body. Hallelujah.

This is not individual only. This is not independent.

You and God, you will not go to heaven and only have private

meetings with Jesus. Amen.

What's it say in Matthew 2541? Then he will also say to those

on his left, Depart from me, accursed ones, into the eternal

fire, which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.

This is what's really sad is that the Lake of Fire was not

for humanity originally. The Lake of Fire was designed

for the first rebellion against the Kingdom.

The original treason and when they rebelled, because they were

in already in an eternal state and when they rebelled, there

was no redemption for them, no way to save them.

They chose to go against God. And you understand the enemy's

tactic has been the same. He's never changed.

It's one purpose and that is this thought.

His thought was I can do it better than the creator.

I want to rule over him. This is why he always has in

this world where you're skeptical of authority because

that's his his tactic. All you can't trust somebody

that's over you. You can't trust somebody you

could do it better. All you know, they do it that

way. But if you were in charge, many

of you hear somebody say, yeah, you know what?

I just don't like the way that pastor did that, or I don't like

the way that, you know, person did that.

And if I was, you know, boss of this thing, you know what, You

might as well say, get thee behind me, Satan, Because until

you're in that position, you don't need to have a comment.

You should just know I am submitted.

I and if they ask, I'll let them know.

But ultimately they're going to have the final say.

And I love just being where I'm at until I'm promoted somewhere

else. I just know how to function

right here, man. You get around some people, you

get them in a room and you say, OK, I want you to do this.

And they're immediately already trying to take charge.

If you're so mature as a believer, how come you can't

just stay submitted? And I'll have to Give your

opinion. No, because the devil's talking.

The devil's always talking like that.

And you know what that does? When you're like, I could do it

better. That's the first step towards

pride. That's how he arrived at pride,

because he thought his way was better.

But it's not. God's way is better.

Amen. So this place was originally

only for the devil and those who fell and rebelled with him.

But he came into the earth and God had empowered his man to

rule this Kingdom on the planet just like he rules in heaven and

gave him authority and power and said, son, just don't eat the

fruit. And if he had only obeyed his

dad and looked at that serpent and says, you're saying

something different than my father.

I refuse to listen to that. And you've heard me say this

before. How come Adam didn't come and

say, let's wait for Dad to show up and see what he says about

this? The minute he didn't want Dad to

show up gave him the opportunity to listen to somebody else's

voice. And believers are doing this and

the world is doing this all the time.

Hearing something about someone from someone without the other

person even being around, and you form opinions and actions

and behaviors towards them and the other person not even there

to verify it. It's a travesty.

And that's how the enemy brings division.

Can I get an Amen? Colossians 3 five through 8 says

this, the God's Word translation.

I'm going to read a few other translations with this one.

It says therefore put to death whatever is worldly in you, your

sexual sin, perversion, passion, lust and greed, which is the

same thing as worshipping wealth.

It is because of these sins that God's anger comes on those who

refuse to obey Him. You used to live that kind of

sinful life. Also, get rid of your anger, hot

tempers, hatred, cursing, obscene language and all similar

sins. Have you heard believers say,

well, it's just a word, what's it matter if I cuss?

I listen to one particular newscaster says, you know,

talking about how all of our government people are just

openly cussing now and they're like, you know, when I'm here, I

don't do that. Now, I may do it when I'm and,

you know, this person supposed to be a believer.

And I'm like, why you doing it period?

You're not doing it on the camera.

Why you doing it off the camera? And this is the problem.

I said this is the problem because there are 6 billion

people destined for destruction. Let me read another.

Well, turn over to Galatians chapter 5.

Galatians 5 · chapter mention

I heard the spear of the Lord say this to me yesterday when I

was cutting the grass. You know, he talks to me a lot

when I'm mowing. I don't know why that is.

I think it's just because the sound puts me in a position

where and I'm talking to him. And so, you know, there is no

other voice that I'm listening to, but I heard the Spirit of

the Lord say this. He says, you cannot say you have

a passion for the lost when you cannot crucify your flesh in

order to be an example before the lost.

I'm going to say that again. The Lord said to me yesterday,

you cannot say you have a passion for the lost when you

cannot crucify your flesh in order to be an example before

the lost. He said, remember Son, I said,

be holy as I'm holy. Then I heard the Spirit of the

Lord say this. He said when you preach

tomorrow, people are going to be thinking them, where's the voice

of victory? He said you tell them where is

your, where's the despair in your soul that 6 billion people

would be destined for destruction all the while while

you would sit there and put 1 foot in the world and 1 foot in

the Kingdom when I told you to come out and be separate.

I'm sure this for somebody online.

Are you hearing me? Because what's interesting about

the things I'm I'm reading to you today is these are not

letters that Paul is saying from an evangelistic message to the

lost. These are to the church.

He's saying church. You've been redeemed, you've

been set free, you've been blood bought, blood washed.

Son, don't even think about going back.

Don't even behave that way. Abhorred that kind of stuff.

Don't you know that God's wrath is destined on people's lives

for that kind of behavior? This is the type of lifestyle

that gets you thrown into the Lake of fire.

Yet we've had false teachers and false apostles and false

prophets water down the subject of grace to where really what

they're teaching is not grace but lasciviousness.

Because lasciviousness is that God saved me.

I couldn't do anything, so I can't do anything now, and I can

do whatever I want to do, and I'm saved by grace.

Well, if you were saved by grace, then you wouldn't do that

because something in you would say I don't live that way

anymore. That way of living keeps you out

of the Kingdom. Say Amen.

Anyway, Galatians 519 to 21 says this.

Now, the effects of the of corrupt nature are obvious.

Illicit sex perversion, promiscuity, idolatry, drug use,

hatred, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish

ambition, conflict, factions, envy, drunkenness, wild parties,

and similar things. I've told you in the past, I'm

telling you again that people who do these kinds of things

will not inherit the kingdom's Kingdom of God.

God's Kingdom. Now I understand that when

someone's born again, we know this as a church that people are

growing up that you can come in here and you'll be doing some

things that are of your old nature and God's renewing your

mind. But if you're born again, then

you every step of the way that when God says change this, stop

that you and all he's doing is saying release who you are

because you're not subject to that.

You're not bound to that. You've been freed from the law

of sin and death. You don't have to live that way.

Inside you is more power and I've given you the greater 1 and

greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world.

And you, you actually have a different nature now and you

actually can live for God and you can be an example and you

can let the light shine. Because if you really care about

those who are destined for the lake of fire, then you need to

let your light shine and not let it be dim because you living

like the rest of the world. I understand that if you're

having some of these things and you were to die, that doesn't

mean you're not in the Kingdom of God.

But what he's saying is, is someone who knows God and begins

to move back into these types of behavior.

This is a very dangerous thing to be and you have no care for

the lost. The remedy translation says it

this way. When the selfish nature is in

charge, it's obvious because the life reflects the destructive

behaviors of the self. Selfish nature which includes

lewdness, sexual perversion, immorality, all kind of self

promoting, self worship, Wicca, voodoo, mysticism, all forms of

idolatry, gossip, envy, jealousy, loss of control, all

types of acting out, rage, hatred, grudge holding, self

exaltation, racial and and caste discrimination, drunkenness,

getting high on drugs, orgies and the like.

With this should not even be named with us.

And if you're sitting here today and anything, any of this is a

part of your life that is destined for the lake of fire,

God is not saying it's OK. He's not saying that the

Father's posture nor Jesus Christ who stands at his right

hand is saying it's OK. He's not saying that.

He's saying you don't have to be like this.

You do not have to act this way. You do not have to behave.

I set you free from that because this is punishable by death.

This is punishable by death, and you don't have to live that way

because the blood of my son has paid the price.

He has redeemed you. My gosh, you want to get out of

that judgment. You want to be free from that

judgment. You want to escape that, that

declaration by the King. Depart from me, for I never knew

you. And you can because of the

precious blood of Jesus. Another translation says it this

way. The cravings of the self life

are obvious. Sexual immorality, lustful

thoughts, pornography, chasing after things instead of God,

manipulating others, hatred of those who get in your way,

senseless arguments, resentment when others are favored, temper

tantrums, angry quarrels. Only thinking of yourself, being

in love with your own opinions, being envious of the blessings

of other murder, uncontrolled addictions, wild parties and all

other similar behavior which you understand.

This is not an exhaustive list. Haven't I already warned you

that those who use their freedom for these things will not, will

not, will not inherit the Kingdom of God?

So you understand you need to quit trying to explain how

someone is getting in doing this and begin to love your brother

and sister and saying why you gossiping right now?

Don't you know that stuff keeps you out of the Kingdom?

Oh, now I'm boring. If you're born again, you shut

your mouth right now. That's what you would do.

You wouldn't slander right now. So I want to believe you're born

again. Let's have fruit that shows you

are because again, if we care about people that are in this

restaurant right now that do not know God, and you want to sit

here and talk to me about your boss, about your spouse, about

your pastor, about your apostle, about whatever and slander and

gossip and give me all the juicy Marshalls about their life and

this audience, how in the world are they going to see the light

of the gospel? We just let them know.

You think people aren't overhearing you at work trying

to invite people to church, yet you gossip like the rest, you

envy like the rest. You're mad because you didn't

get promoted. You're complaining about the

worldly governments too. You're talking about your

spouse. Hallelujah.

Thank you, Jesus. No, Paul is saying this stuff is

not acceptable. It's not for the church.

And if you have a compassion for the lost, then you will live

separate. You'll crucify your flesh,

you'll put it down. You'll say, Lord, whatever you

say I'll do because you are Lord of my life.

And you would imagine seeing the crown of thorns on his head

beaten so bad you couldn't tell he was a man.

You'd see the holes in his hands and his feet.

You see the Pierce in his side. You would see that he took

everything on. And you're going to justify

behavior that you know is marked for the lake of fire.

His grace has empowered you to be free from it all.

And you know what? The Holy Ghost on the inside of

you is not saying it's OK if you talk about this.

You know it's OK if you don't forgive them.

That's pretty rough. No, the Holy Spirit's like,

really, really. Do you know what your Lord and

Savior has done for you? Do you understand?

Your response right now is fixing to be a light so that

this person that is destined for destruction has hope.

See, you have no testimony if you don't live the testimony.

The reason Jesus was so successful with the crowds was

because the Pharisees did not live what they preached, but

Jesus did. You cannot tout I'm a Sinner

saved by grace. I sin too.

We all sin. We can't help it, you know,

that's just what we do. The Bible doesn't say that.

The Bible says that you were a Sinner.

You've been saved by grace through faith and now you're a

believer and that you're a new creature in Christ.

And now you have the mind of Christ, and you have the nature

of Christ, and you have the Holy Spirit who will teach you, and

He will keep you from every temptation and cause you to

overcome every situation, because now you are a child of

the King. And if you do happen to blow it,

you will admit it. You will ask people to forgive

you. You will acknowledge that you

did not live the standard. That is the nature you are now.

You won't make an excuse for it. You won't sugarcoat it.

You won't say, well, you know, it's OK If we, you know, I

realized we wouldn't die. If, I mean, you wouldn't do

that. You would have what Paul, I

believe it was it says or it could have been Peter.

You would flee. I think it's Paul.

Flee the appearance of evil. I don't even want it to look

like it, because I'm going to tell you, in this world there's

going to be plenty of people that are going to put you in the

category of evil. In fact, in the last days, all

of us are going to be called evil because the world's going

to call what's good, evil and what's evil good.

And they're going to blast you and talk about your extremism

and who how you are and how radical you are as a believer in

Christ and try to get you to compromise with the world.

But if we care for the lost, this is so serious with God.

Look at Mark Chapter 9 verses 43 to 50.

Mark 9:43–50

It says if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, for it

is better for you to enter life crippled than having your two

hands go into hell. Where?

Into unquenchable fire where the worm does not die and the fire

is not quenched. And that is not metaphorical.

All right, Verse 45, if your foot causes you to stumble, what

do you need to do? Cut it off.

Now is God advocating amputating or mutilation?

No, but what he's saying is if it literally was a hindrance, it

would be better that you completely remove it from your

being from your being than to keep something that's going to

kill you and keep you eternally separated from him.

And you understand we're treating these things that Paul

are writing the churches in this age as if it's OK like, well, I

asked Jesus into my heart. So if you did, where how are you

living? Is are you part of a local body

church? Are you being discipled?

Are you submitted to the fivefold ministry?

I mean, I could just run list upon list of what someone who's

truly made Jesus Lord looks and lives like.

Or are you deciding how far you go?

Are you making that choice? Well, then he's not Lord.

And maybe, even maybe I could ask the question, Has he ever

been? John the Baptist says he have

fruit in keeping with repentance.

He goes on and says this. So if your foot calls you to

stumble, cut it off. It'd be better for you to enter

life. Lame than having 2 feet and be

cast into hell where the worm does not die and the fair is

fire is not quenched. If your eye causes you to

stumble, throw it out, for it is better for you to enter the

Kingdom of God with one eye than having two eyes to be cast into

the hell. Can I go ahead and give you real

quick an example of that? If your phone causes you to

stumble, it's better for you to get rid of your phone and learn

how to navigate in this world without a cell phone.

Cut it off, go find you a cricket phone with big screen,

little screen and big numbers. I don't even know if they have

those anymore. Be honest with you.

I'm just saying whatever you need to do.

But what we make excuses for carnality and God is saying I'm

not making excuses. The blood is not making excuses,

The blood paid the price. The blood does not authorize you

to sin. The blood paid the price for

sin. So verse 8 where the worm does

not die and fire is not quenched, verse 49 for everyone

who will be sought for everyone will be salted with fire.

Salt is good, but if the salt becomes what?

Unsalty with what? Will you make it salty again?

Have salt in yourself and be at peace with one another.

Look what it says in Hebrews chapter 2 verses one through 3

Hebrews 2 · chapter mention

says. For this reason we must pay much

closer attention to what we have heard so that we do not drift

away from it. For if the Word spoken through

angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and

disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if

we neglect so great a salvation? And again, you cannot neglect

something unless you have something.

After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was

confirmed to us by those who heard.

I want us as members of the Anchor Faith Church, Vision

partners to As one visitor said one time, he said, Pastor, you

give an invitation for holiness. You know what's crazy?

All churches should give an invitation for holiness, not an

invitation. Where are you going to go when

you die? Let's just get you out of hell.

But how can you have actions that are marked for the lake of

fire, have the blood, and still live with the actions that are

marked for the lake of fire? How was that even possible?

And how can we? How are we going to see the

world coming to the Kingdom of God if we ourselves are not

willing to be holy? Because we already are?

He made us this way. He separated us from the things

of the world. He gave us a new spirit.

He took the spirit in you that was dead in his trespasses of

sin, that was cut off from God, that was destined for the lake

of fire, which is the second death.

He removed it from your skin suit and put in you a new spirit

that hears God's voice. The Holy Spirit bears witness

with your spirit, you are a child of God.

And then the Holy Spirit says I'll change the way you think so

that the nature that you now are, that it's behavior, it's

actions can live among men and you will shine bright.

Your lifestyle will shine so bright.

People when they get in your presence will want to quit

cussing. They want to put their drinks to

the side. Now they're going to be some

brazen enough because you understand the enemy.

He knows he's dead. Some like I don't give a RIP

about God and you can say I'm praying for you and hoping that

there's still room for repentance.

But today what some are doing is like, let me have a drink with

you and tell you about Jesus. How does that even make sense?

I understand this is not US popular preaching, but I'm not

here to preach AUS gospel, I'm here to preach the Kingdom

gospel. Amen.

Second, Peter 220 to 22 says, For if they have escaped the

defilements of the world, come on, have you escaped it?

By the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are

again entangled in them and are overcome.

The last state has become worse than the first.

This is serious business. This scripture alone eradicates

once saved always saved. And everyone who says once

saved, always saved says What can separate us from the love of

God? Read the list.

Can a famine come and cut you off from God?

Obviously not. Can a trial and tribulation cut

you off from the love of God? Obviously not.

Can demons, principalities, and powers cut you off from the love

of God? No.

Can you cut yourself off? Yes.

You can. You say?

Prove it, Adam. Adam, you want a second witness.

Eve, you want a third witness? The blasphemy of the Holy

Spirit. And you can't do that unless

you've been born again. And there's some other criterias

associated with it. Yeah.

So once again, well, I ask Jesus in my heart, I can never lose

it. You can denounce it just like

Adam did. And Adam lived a state that none

of us have lived yet. For it would have been better

for them to not have known the way of righteousness than having

known it to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to

them. It has happened to them.

According to the true proverb, a dog returns to its own vomit,

and a sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the

mire. I'm just going to be quite

honest as the apostle of the ministry, there are many

funerals that people are going to and they're saying, well,

they're in a better place and they are not in a better place

because their lifestyle gave no evidence of lordship.

I think many people are going to be surprised when they get up

there and they're like, we're so and so I got up.

They're not here. What do you mean they're not

here? I was there when they asked

Jesus into their heart. They said they may have asked

him into their heart, but He didn't make him Lord.

There's no fruit, no change. And you know, so and so they

turned against me and went back. And, you know, they were living

life worse than they were before they ever got saved.

And you think I just let them in?

No, they trampled on my blood. These are sobering words, but

they're words of truth. Revelation chapter 20, verse 10

Revelation 20:10–15

through 15 says in The Devil who deceived them was thrown into

the lake of fire of brimstone, where the beast and the false

prophet are also, and they will be tormented day and night

forever and ever. Then I saw a great white throne,

and him who set upon it, from whose present earth and heaven

fled away, and no place was found for them.

And I saw the dead, the great, and the small, standing before

the throne. And books were opened, and

another book was open, which is the Book of Life.

And the dead were judged from the things which were written in

the books according to their deeds.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it.

And Death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and

they were judged, every one of them, according to their deeds.

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the Lake of Fire.

This is the second death, the Lake of Fire.

And if anyone's name was not found in the Book of Life, he

was thrown into the lake of fire.

And we have just read through scripture of all of the actions

and behaviors that do not inherit the Kingdom of God.

And there are 6 billion people, probably more, that are marked

for this scene. And the greatest hope they have

is you. Because the church is the hope

of the world. We are the hope of the world.

Because if we will actually come out from among them and where it

just means we do not live like the world, we live like we are

in Christ. We are born of God.

We have his nature, we have his power, and we walk in a world we

are not of. We're in a world we're not of,

but the world knows we're not of them.

They see it in our actions. They see it in our behavior.

They see it in our lifestyle. They see it in how we carry

ourselves. They see it in our forgiveness.

They see it in the fruits of the Spirit that happened day in and

day out of our lives. And if we truly care to

evangelize to the world, then we must crucify our flesh and live

a holy life and let the blood of God, my gosh, sanctify you

entirely. Entirely.

I close with these verses. Romans 59 says this much more

than having been justified by his blood.

We shall be saved from the wrath of God through him.

If you're here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of

your life, I want you to know God is storing up anger towards

you. It's not because He wants to.

It's because you are having him do this because He's already

paid the price for everything you're doing in the life you're

living. And as much as you're trying to

do good and you're trying to put your life on a scale and you're

trying to say, well, I'm not as bad as such and such, and I

haven't done as much as so and so.

That means nothing with God. All that matters is the blood of

Jesus because no one is good. No, not one.

I always fell short of being right with God, no matter how

much. And I was raised in church, but

being raised in church only let me know that I was a Sinner.

I was cut off, I needed saving, and Jesus was the only one.

And his blood justified me and saved me from the wrath to come.

First Thessalonians 110 says and the way and to wait for his Son

from heaven, whom he raised from the dead.

That is Jesus who rescues us from the wrath to come.

Come on up, worship team God wants to save you.

He wants you to escape this wrath.

He does not want you anymore to be subject to it.

And He sure doesn't want his children taking their hand off

the plow and looking back. And there are so many people in

this congregation right now that if we all would commit to a holy

life, Saint Augustine cannot stand a chance because you are

in too many places that the light of God does not shine.

And the conviction in their lives put them in a place that

they're like, I need your Jesus. No longer do we need to see a

person go into the Lake of fire because of the hypocrisy of the

believer. You have to settle that.

I have been blood bought, blood washed.

I have been. I am owned by the king.

My life is not my own and no longer will I just go by someone

without at least saying God, I pray for this person right now.

Sin laborers. If I'm not the person to talk

today, God, I don't know where that person is.

I don't know who this person is that is serving me right now at

McDonald's. Lord, I don't know if they're

right with you or not, but God, I thank you today.

At least I prayed for them. Maybe God's not authorizing you

to speak to them and please do not go to them and say, do you

know where you're going to go when you die today?

Don't do that. That is not the gospel Jesus

preached. Now, if you want to say, do you

know Jesus, say that because this is about life.

This is not when we exit. This is about life.

Now, do you have peace in your life?

Do you have perpetual peace? Ask them things that are

applicable for now, not Do you know where you'd go if you were

to die right now. How's that help them on the

earth? Let's preach the gospel.

Jesus, be sensitive enough to say, I see you're sniffling

today. Can I pray for you?

And maybe that's all you do, but you're being led by the Spirit.

Why? Because this person, maybe not

this person, but you understand that person that you're standing

in front of may be marked for destruction.

This is why. Do we want something to change

with our schools? Do we want protection for our

schools? Well, how is it that we would

not want to go pray? And again, I can't be at every

one of them. This is why we equip the Saints

for the work of service so that you can participate and do

something. You can show up, you can pray a

hedge of protection. You can say this is what the

church is supposed to do. I close with this verse right

here. Colossians 1/3, 13 and 14.

And he rescued us from the domain of darkness and

transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have

redemption, the forgiveness of sin.

It's time to escape and be transferred.

It's time to escape and be transferred.
