  4. Brother James Is We'll be back Amen.

  5. Having some technical difficulties back there, yeah, Amen.

  6. Amen. Amen.

  7. Let us turn into the Book of uh Matthews. I

  8. believe it's Matthews, chapter twenty four. Prepare ourselves for the

  9. Word of God this morning.

  10. Amen. When you get there, say amen. Amen. Amen stare,

  11. here's some pages turning. Amen.

  12. But we do thank God for yet another day. We

  13. thank God for being the head of our lives, Amen,

  14. and the glorious works that He does in our lives.

  15. Amen. Amen. Let us go to the Lord and prayer Father.

  16. We want to thank you God for yet another day.

  17. Thank you for waking up up this morning. God, with

  18. the use of all of our limbs in our mind intact.

  19. In the name of Jesus.

  20. Thank you God for health, for strength, for your Holy Word,

  21. for safety.

  22. And getting to this place.

  23. Praying that all saints made it to the House of

  24. God safely, and that.

  25. You move upon those who want to do their own thing.

  26. God and that you stare them and shake them, that

  27. they give people today the truth of your word, God,

  28. without deviating from the truth.

  29. I pray God, in the name of Jesus, you continue

  30. to fill us with overflowing of your spirit.

  31. And continue to overflow us God, and keep our minds

  32. stayed on you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for

  33. we give you glory and we give you praise in

  34. Jesus Name.

  35. Amen.

  36. In the book of Matthews, we were talking this morning

  37. about these prophecies, the prophecy that Isaiah prophesied to the people.

  38. Of Israel, Judah and Jerusalem. Amen.

  39. And I also seeing this day and time that people

  40. are going about like there is no end to these times.

  41. You may be seated in the House of the Lord.

  42. They're going about like there is no end to these times.

  43. And even the Church is going about like Jesus is

  44. not coming back. And that in itself is disturbing because

  45. the world may not. The world don't know this, nor

  46. do they actually believe this. But the Church should know

  47. that one day Jesus is coming back. Nor but we

  48. may not know the day or the hour, but we

  49. know he's coming back.

  50. Amen.

  51. We've been taught we've been minister to, we've been preached to,

  52. we read for ourselves. The Holy Spirit is spoken to

  53. us that one day he's coming back.

  54. But yet the church is going about.

  55. Like Jesus is not coming back for judgment, doing any

  56. and everything they want to do on this earth. Preachers

  57. not preparing the people for the coming of Jesus. Again,

  58. they're not preparing them. They're preparing you for a new house.

  59. I lost, a new car, a new wife, a new husband,

  60. another husband, another wife.

  61. And more money.

  62. But they're not preparing the people of God for the

  63. coming of Jesus Christ. And I see many who have

  64. set under truth that will be left behind because they

  65. refuse to live what they know to be truth. Amen,

  66. But this is still God's prophecy, even though they know

  67. they still not going nowhere.

  68. Believe it, They believe it.

  69. They believe what they want to believe that they can

  70. control what the day and the hour will be, but

  71. they cannot control when he is coming back. And time.

  72. Time time.

  73. See, I have to say time like that because we

  74. always think we got plenty of time. We always think

  75. not only do we think we got plenty of time,

  76. we think time is on our side.

  77. Time ain't on our side. And we know and and

  78. we know that.

  79. Nobody knows the time, know the dey hours, so you

  80. don't know the time a man, and nobody wants to talk.

  81. Nobody wants to talk about this.

  82. You know why they don't want to talk about this

  83. because it's gloom and doom to them and they having

  84. too much fun.

  85. They don't want to hear about this. That's why preachers

  86. don't preach on them.

  87. That's why many preachers ain't gonna say no preacher, but

  88. many preachers, many do not preach in the Book of Revelations.

  89. They don't want to hear about this. They don't want

  90. to hear about this end time. That's doom and gloom.

  91. It should be if you're going to hell. But those

  92. that are not, I'm like Paul, I'm peeping around the

  93. corner waiting for where you at, looking for you.

  94. I'm ready, but he's coming. He's coming. And guess what.

  95. In case they are those that get upset about what

  96. I tell them, what the Word has says, it's my

  97. charge to keep the Lord Jesus Christ preach to you.

  98. It is my charge.

  99. To preach to you and to keep the Lord Jesus

  100. Christ on your mind, because it's my charge to get

  101. you ready.

  102. To meet him.

  103. It is my charge, and it is your charge to

  104. get those that are lost the word of God that

  105. may help them. Be ready, ay man, But are you ready?

  106. Because ready or not he's coming. He's coming. Ready or not,

  107. he's coming.

  108. You know. It's just like a race.

  109. You standing there with all them people. Ready or not

  110. he get ready to say go. If you're ready, you're

  111. gonna take off. If you ain't, you're gonna be.

  112. Slow in it. But ready or not, he's coming.

  113. So it takes me to Matthew chapter twenty four and

  114. verse thirty six. What it says, but of the day

  115. and hour, no, no, man, no, not the angels of heaven.

  116. Madgine that the angels are in heaven with God, but

  117. the Father only.

  118. But as the days of Norworth, so shall also the

  119. coming of the Son of Man be.

  120. For as in the days that were before the flood,

  121. before the flood, they were eating and drinking merrily, and

  122. giving in marriage, until the day of Nord entered into

  123. the art. So it says, But as the days of Norware,

  124. these were like the this was as the days of

  125. norwhere They were eating and drinking and marrying and giving

  126. in marriage.

  127. Until the day that in it into the art.

  128. You know, I studied this thing and didn't realize with

  129. knowing and his.

  130. Family in it into the ark. They sat there for seven.

  131. Days before the flood, waiting on the truth of God's words,

  132. waiting I don't hear what I'm saying in the ark,

  133. waiting seven days.

  134. And you could imagine the folks. I say them, foods

  135. up in there, and that hot thing.

  136. Ain't no lights in there, ain't there with all them

  137. stinking animals, what's wrong with them? Ain't nothing wrong with them.

  138. It's what's right with them. But it's what's wrong with you.

  139. Because we see when they entered into the door into.

  140. The ark, the door shut. It wasn't Noah grabbing the

  141. rope shutting the door. It wasn't his wife, his sons

  142. or sons wives. It was God shut the door.

  143. It's the truth saying that no man can open the

  144. door that God shut, because when that door was shut,

  145. no man could open it.

  146. They couldn't get in.

  147. Verse thir or that, and knew not until the flood

  148. came and took them all away. So shall also the

  149. coming of the son of Man. Be see that day

  150. back then gonna be like this. When it's the day

  151. of Noah, it's gonna take them all away. When the

  152. Son of Man comes, it's gonna be just like that day.

  153. It's gonna be our time. And it says, then shall

  154. too be in the field. The one shall be taken

  155. and the other left. I ain't gonna explain that to you.

  156. Two women shall be girding at the meal, grinding at

  157. the meal. The one shall be taken and the other left.

  158. She gonna still be grinding. Where is sister? Go? Two

  159. women shall be grinding at the mill. The one shall

  160. be taken and the other left. Watch watch therefore, for

  161. ye know not what hour, your lord, do it come.

  162. But know this. You don't know what out we're coming.

  163. But know this that if the good man, the good man,

  164. the master of the house, had known, and which known,

  165. and known in what watch the thief would come, he

  166. would have watched and would have suffered his house.

  167. To be broken up. See it says if he had

  168. known in what watch.

  169. So in other words, he may be watching now, he

  170. may watch a little later, and.

  171. Then he may fall asleep and then get up and

  172. watch again, in what watch? See what he trying to

  173. tell us, the Lord trying to tell us, we gotta

  174. be always watching. We gotta always be watching. Ain't know

  175. which watching? All watches? Be ready, because.

  176. He said, if he had known, in what watch, we're gonna.

  177. Suffer this house to be broken up.

  178. Therefore, be ye also, red ad, watching all the time,

  179. watching what watching?

  180. What? What are we watching? Did anybody know what we're watching?

  181. No, you're watching your life.

  182. Keeping it in order with God. That's what you're watching.

  183. You watching your life. Because the thief's trying to break

  184. in your house.

  185. This the house, he said, if he was watching it

  186. and known what hour, he was breaking too and broke

  187. up his house.

  188. This the house. You the house. He ain't talking about,

  189. no building. You the house.

  190. That's why I said watch what you watch yourself?

  191. Because he comes.

  192. And he says, be there for read ad for in

  193. such an hour as ye think not, Well, he came.

  194. In thirty six hours. I'm just gonna take you this

  195. one hour. I'm gonna take you this one hour I

  196. want to do.

  197. Therefore, be also ready for in such an hour as

  198. you think not.

  199. The Son of Man cometh in the hour that you

  200. think not.

  201. Let's look at chapter twenty five and verse thirty one.

  202. It says, when the.

  203. Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all

  204. the holy angels with him, then shall he sit up

  205. on the throne of his glory, And before him shall

  206. be gathered all nations, all nations, and he shall separate

  207. them one from another, as a shepherd divided his sheep

  208. from the goats, and he shall set the sheep on

  209. his right hand, but the goats on the left hand.

  210. Then shall the king say unto them on his right hand, come, ye, come, ye, blessed.

  211. Look what he called them.

  212. Blessed these are folks on the right hand now of

  213. my father. These folks were blessed of his father. He say,

  214. blessed of me, He said, blessed of my father. Inherit

  215. the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

  216. For I wasn't hungry, and you gave me me. I

  217. was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was

  218. a stranger, and you took me in necking and you

  219. clothed me. I was sick and you visit me. I

  220. was in prison, and you came into me. Then shall

  221. the righteous answer him, saying that's us.

  222. Lord. When y'all, y'all, y'all, are you looking at this?

  223. Are you looking at this?

  224. And since you're looking at it, it says, then shall

  225. the righteous answer him? Okay, y'all ready saying everybody ready, Lord,

  226. When saw.

  227. Y'all ain't reading with me, when saw we.

  228. A hunger and said thee are thirsty, and gave thee drink,

  229. I don't hear, y'all, when saw we thee a stranger

  230. and took the end our neked enclosed thee O, when

  231. saw we the sick and are in prison and came

  232. into thee.

  233. And the king shall answer.

  234. Listen to this now, it says, And the king shall answer.

  235. So what is it saying? We're not reading anymore?

  236. And the king it, it says, and the King shall answer.

  237. So what it's saying is this? When this time comes,

  238. this is what he's gonna say to us, he said,

  239. he Yet, this is what he's gonna say to us

  240. when this time comes, when Jesus comes and separates the nations,

  241. it says, he shall answer, and saying to them, verily,

  242. I say unto you, in as much ye have done it,

  243. until one of the least of these my brethren, ye

  244. have done it unto me. He's not done. See, y'all

  245. only dealt with those on the right. So now he's

  246. getting ready to deal with those on the left. And

  247. then shall he say unto them on the left hand?

  248. Notice what he said to them on the right hand,

  249. he said, Come hear me, he said in verse thirty four,

  250. Come ye, blessed of my father. But then the ones

  251. on the left, he said to them, depart from me,

  252. Ye cursed.

  253. He ain't call them blessed into.

  254. Everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.

  255. Did y'all see that right there? I want you to

  256. back up now.

  257. I want you to see something in thirty four he said,

  258. Then shall the king say unto them on the right hand,

  259. Come ye, blessed of my father. Y'all see that. Listen

  260. to the rest of it. He said, blest of my

  261. father inherit the kingdom prepared for you. You see that

  262. prepared for you. Let's jump back down to forty one.

  263. He said, told them curse into everlasting fired, prepared See

  264. that word again for the devil and his angels.

  265. See, I try to tell you, y'all ain't been listening

  266. to me. Hell wasn't prepared for you.

  267. The Bible just told you written in red, just Jesus

  268. speaking who it.

  269. Was prepared for.

  270. But y'all going to just break in the hill anyway

  271. forty two for hours a hunger, and you gave me

  272. know me was thirsty, and you gave me no.

  273. Drink, was a stranger, and you took me not in.

  274. Neked, and you clothed me not sick and in prison,

  275. and you visit me not?

  276. Then shall they also answer him, saying, these these wicked folks.

  277. Here they go, Lord, when saw we the when saw

  278. we the good?

  279. Our thirst a thirst, are a stranger? Ournked? Are sick?

  280. Are in prison? And did not minister to thee? When when?

  281. When when did we do that?

  282. That's the wicked folks, these left handed folk?

  283. When did we do that? Then shall he answer them

  284. all you want to know?

  285. When it was verily I saying to you, in as

  286. much as you did it not to me of the

  287. least of these, you did it not to me? He said,

  288. I said, unto you, In as much as you did

  289. it not to one of the least of these, ye

  290. did it not to me. You didn't help my brothers,

  291. so you didn't do it to my brothers. I'm in

  292. my brother. If you didn't do it till my brother,

  293. you didn't do it for me. And these shall go

  294. away into everlasting punishment. Who the ones on the left,

  295. but the righteous into life eternal.

  296. Amen.

  297. So we understand we're living we're living in the end times.

  298. Amen.

  299. We're living in an uninsecure world. And as we can

  300. see now, all of these unexpected things are happening that

  301. we're not expecting to happen.

  302. Amen.

  303. I didn't expect that to happen. I would that should

  304. have never happened had that happen. So we see in

  305. all of these unexpected things that would change our lives forever.

  306. Amen. We live uncertain lives.

  307. But as Christians hear me, now, we know God is

  308. in control. See all that we see uncertain things.

  309. What is uncertain to me.

  310. It ain't certain that this is gonna be this way always.

  311. This ain't certain that this gonna happen. This ain't certain

  312. we're gonna get this or get that.

  313. But one thing we know is that God is in control.

  314. And the one thing, the other thing we know is

  315. that nothing happens outside of His knowledge and understanding.

  316. And our lives are hidden.

  317. The Bible says that our lives are hitting with Christ

  318. in God.

  319. You read it in Colossalus, chapter three and three. And

  320. we have we have. I don't know about you. Let

  321. me say it like this. I have. I ain't trying

  322. to be selfish. I have absolutely. Are you hearing what

  323. I'm saying?

  324. Assurance of my eternal salvation. Now you gotta say that

  325. for yourself. I know that for my own self, because

  326. let me tell you something.

  327. I know for sure. I know for certain and fully persuaded.

  328. The earth may shape.

  329. The mountains may fall, the stars can roll up out

  330. of their sockets, and the nations can collapse what they're

  331. doing right now.

  332. But through Christ we have eternal safety.

  333. You, no matter what's going on in the world, or

  334. price is going up, food price going up, gathers when

  335. we have we have safety and our Lord. And say,

  336. Jesus Christ Eve you believe that you don't. But the

  337. Word is truth, and the Word says we do.

  338. So I believe it. I don't know about you, but

  339. I believe it. Amen.

  340. That is the truth of my personal assurance of salvation.

  341. And it's talked throughout the Bible. If you don't read

  342. the Bible, but has your fault.

  343. So I still got to ask, are you ready to

  344. meet him where you are?

  345. Because he's coming.

  346. He's coming, Jesus ain't Even in his teaching, Jesus had

  347. given general signs to watch for regarding the coming of

  348. the end of the of the time.

  349. Clearly he explained it.

  350. Amen, he clearly gave example of the coming of the end.

  351. And he clearly explained this thing to the disciples.

  352. And if you have been reading your word of God,

  353. it's clearly explained to you, if you've been listening to

  354. the truth of the Word of God, it's clearly explained

  355. to you as well that the day of the hour.

  356. Was not known by the angels or the sun. Jesus Christ.

  357. We just read that.

  358. But you know what, there's a good there's really good

  359. in this because if we happen to find out, let's

  360. just say, you know when your time is coming? What

  361. would you really do if you knew exactly when your

  362. time was coming?

  363. What would you do? I'll tell you what most people

  364. would do. They wouldn't go to church, they wouldn't support

  365. the church. Oh yeah, they wouldn't do it.

  366. Because see, they would do what a lot of people

  367. would think would work for them, They wouldn't do as

  368. much for ministry, and some of them ain't doing that

  369. much now. But I'll tell you what the worst thing

  370. of all would be.

  371. They would keep sinning.

  372. Folks would keep sinning and then try to turn to

  373. God right at the end.

  374. And I'm gonna tell you.

  375. Something that would be one of the greatest gambles and

  376. mistakes of your life.

  377. You'll mess around and Misshaven all together.

  378. So it's good he don't tell us the day of

  379. the ourt, because folks will cut up sideways until the

  380. time comes. They do it, they do it now, then

  381. they don't even know. So we understand when Jesus said

  382. that no man knows the day of the hour, he

  383. didn't know the end time himself, and he was what

  384. he was doing was affirming his limitations as a human.

  385. See the human side of him and that the God

  386. side of him. Amen.

  387. So he was just showing that he has a limitation

  388. of the fact because of his human side he on

  389. know dead hour either. But of course God the Father

  390. knows the time and the time. He knows the time,

  391. and of course Jesus and God the Father are one.

  392. Don't get messed up. But when Jesus became a man.

  393. He volunteerly gave up his unlimited use of his divine

  394. power and his attributes.

  395. When he came to earth.

  396. Jesus laid it aside, his divine prerogatives and submitted to

  397. God the Father.

  398. He submitted to his will.

  399. So he don't know to day the hour, So you

  400. can go praying Jesus when it's coming, Jesus, Jesus, can

  401. you tell me?

  402. Jesus, He can't.

  403. Tell you, so you can cut that one out. So

  404. he don't know when the return time comes. But when

  405. we come to understand the scriptures and we come to

  406. understand what he's even emphasizing here in the Word of God,

  407. Jesus himself, Jesus himself is not emphasizing in this verse,

  408. in these verses, rather of these verses not on It's.

  409. Not on his knowledge.

  410. He's not emphasizing his knowledge in these verses. He's not

  411. letting you know how much he knows, Amen, but rather

  412. on the fact that no one knows.

  413. That's what he's emphasizing. No one knows the day of

  414. the hour.

  415. I'm not trying to emphasize my knowledge. I'm just trying

  416. to let you know that no one knows, because it

  417. is God's the Father's secret which God mentioned in Deuteronomy

  418. twenty nine and nine. The secret things belong to him.

  419. The things he wants to be revealed us, he revealed us.

  420. But this is a secret thing, and these is God's

  421. secret thing that He's gonna keep.

  422. And nobody can predict this thing.

  423. Amen, He's gonna reveal it in due time, and nobody

  424. will be able to reveal his will concerning this.

  425. And no one.

  426. Can predict by scripture or by science, even though folk

  427. run around talking about it. In nineteen ninety something, the

  428. world coming to end, and you know he.

  429. People predict that. Four five different people have predicted the

  430. end time. It ain't came yet. Why because the Bible

  431. is right. Nobody knows the Daddy hour. You can't predict it.

  432. God said, you can't do it.

  433. If the Son of Man don't know, how you gonna

  434. know he live in you.

  435. And if he living in you and don't know, you

  436. ain't gonna know.

  437. But he ain't living in these other folks, you ain't

  438. gonna know the second coming. So see, Jesus wasn't teaching calculation,

  439. He was teaching preparation. He wasn't teaching calculations. See look

  440. at it down and ten more years now, he was

  441. teaching prepare yourself for the coming.

  442. Of the Lord. We look at verses thirty seven, thirty

  443. and thirty nine.

  444. These were the first outpouring of God's jud bones sinful

  445. people in the days of Noah. This was the first

  446. judgment of God's outpouring of sinful people. And it has

  447. a natural connection with the final outpouring at the Lord's return.

  448. It's a connection. What's the connection. He gonna destroy this world.

  449. He gonna destroy the world. All the sinners are gonna

  450. all the sinners are gonna be destroyed. They're gonna go

  451. to that wide mouth hell, just like the folks of

  452. old den in the days of Noah. Gonna be the

  453. same thing in those days. People are gonna be doing

  454. the same things people gonna people gonna be doing the

  455. same things they was doing in the days of doing.

  456. They're gonna be.

  457. Going about their daily lives, their daily businesses, just as

  458. they were in the days of Noah's time, doing any

  459. and everything. They were doing whatever they thought they was

  460. big enough to do, not conscious of the Lord coming back.

  461. Even the church still up there preaching a lie.

  462. Still out there, people living any kind of way they

  463. want to live, claiming their Christians still gonna be going

  464. on the same way. And just as the floor and

  465. just as the flood caught the people in the days

  466. of Nor unaware, and after it was too late for

  467. them to realize it, and they were all swept away

  468. in judgment. See, they weren't just swept away. They were

  469. swept away in judgment because.

  470. You got to realize something.

  471. Nor preach the same word, same word, never changed it

  472. for one hundred and twenty years to them people. You

  473. trying to tell me in one hundred and twenty years

  474. you couldn't get yourself together. He preached the same word

  475. for one hundred and twenty years to the same people.

  476. And not only that, he prepared the arc, they watched.

  477. Him do it. When the arc was done, they watched

  478. it being finished.

  479. And after they was finished, they watched the animals walk

  480. up in there, probably mocking Nor. They watched everything that

  481. happened and did nothing.

  482. For their lives.

  483. They watched all that, just like people today are watching

  484. people come to church, people living right.

  485. And we read in the Book of Isaiah, they don't

  486. like you living good. The wicked don't like you living good.

  487. They want you to live wicked.

  488. That's why they mock you, because they want you to

  489. be like them when you supposed to having them subject

  490. to coming to be like you. But like the Bible says,

  491. when Judah was supposed to be shining the light on

  492. the world, the world was turning out Judah's light, and

  493. the Church supposed to be shining.

  494. The light on the world, and the world is turning

  495. out this Church's life.

  496. Even in this dispensation of time, we have to be

  497. ready for the second coming, because if we.

  498. Not, and we wait and we wait and we wait, it's.

  499. Gonna be too late, and we're gonna be just like

  500. the people know. It's time swept away in judgment, and

  501. so it will be when the Son of Man comes

  502. for us the same. Because this was an example of the.

  503. World, white world, white.

  504. Judgment, of when Jesus will come, and it is inescapable, people,

  505. it's inescapable.

  506. Let's look what first Peter says, Amen, give me a

  507. few moments, try to get up bat of here.

  508. First Peter, First Peter, Chapter three and verse twenty.

  509. What does it say here?

  510. It says in First Peter chapter three and verse twenty.

  511. It says, which sometime were disobedient, when once the long

  512. suffering of God, When the long suffering of God waited

  513. in the days of Nord, he waited.

  514. He was long suffering patient.

  515. God waited in the days of Nod, while there are

  516. was preparing. Wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved

  517. by water, say a, only eight the right figure, where

  518. in two even baptism.

  519. Do it also?

  520. Now save us not the putting away of the filthy

  521. of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience

  522. towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So here

  523. we see again that word prepared.

  524. Hey man, only eight went into the art. Eight is

  525. the number for what new beginning.

  526. Is gonna be a new beginning because those eight went

  527. in the art and the rest the world was destroyed,

  528. and now there's a new beginning. And God told them

  529. to be fruitful and multiply in this new beginning. Because

  530. we got to understand something, people, is this example of

  531. Nor's days was a world wide judgment. It also tells

  532. us that this is an example of what's to come.

  533. This is an example. The whole world was destroyed, but

  534. eight that's gonna happen to this world. It's an example

  535. of what's to come, and it is inescapable people.

  536. You will not escape it.

  537. The only way you're gonna make it is that you

  538. know Jesus. The second coming we be so sudden that

  539. in a blink of an eye, one in the field

  540. our working we'll be taken away in a blink of

  541. an eye, and the other left behind. See when they

  542. say taken away, it's a good thing.

  543. The one left that's the bad thing. The reason why.

  544. Because one was ready or shall I say saved, and

  545. one was not?

  546. I shall I say lost?

  547. And as believe us, we must always be on our

  548. guard and alert constantly. Somebody say constantly ready for him

  549. to come at any time.

  550. Hold on, Lord, give me about ten minutes. Mm hm,

  551. at any time. Hold on, Lord, I remember something about

  552. Susan May.

  553. At anytime, we have to be ready and be on

  554. our guard, because Christ's second coming.

  555. Will be swift and sudden.

  556. See you the reason why I did that, because you

  557. can't say the way ten minutes. You can't say, give

  558. me time to get to Susane Mays. And the reason

  559. ten seconds, The reason why you can't say that because it's.

  560. Gonna be swift.

  561. And second, there will be no time for repenting, are.

  562. Bargaining. That's why I said, hold lord, gimmet, you ain't

  563. got no time for bargain. There's no time for bargaining, there's.

  564. No time for repeating, there's no time for repenting.

  565. That should hit you like a turn of pricks. You

  566. can't even repent. Repenting is the only thing that'll save you.

  567. And at that time you can't even do it. You

  568. can't be saved at that time. That's why you gotta

  569. be ready.

  570. Because it's swift, there will be no bargaining.

  571. The choice that you have already made will be determining

  572. your destiny. See it told us, says the Master of

  573. It is the Master of the house that we read

  574. the scripture of the Master of the family, who expected

  575. a thief at any time of the night. Did y'all

  576. y'all got that that.

  577. Text I sent y'all got the Master of the house.

  578. Yeah, see, see that's what it's talking about too, mm hmm.

  579. Because if he ain't got all of you.

  580. Who gonna come in and bash you, coming in to

  581. bash you, yat, give him the whole house just he

  582. thought you was doing something because you gave him the

  583. biggest room in the house. You wasn't doing nothing. Then

  584. you thought you were doing something. Couse you gave him

  585. the whole top floor of the mansion.

  586. M M. Reality kicked in. I gotta give him this whole.

  587. House because guess who got to answer the.

  588. Door of the house. The owner, he's responsible.

  589. For the house, so he got an answer the door.

  590. Y'all out hear what I'm saying.

  591. So if the master of the family, who expected the

  592. thief at any time of the night, were taken care

  593. to be awake, if he had taken care to be

  594. awake and ready to protect his house, so should you.

  595. So should you who do know that the son of

  596. man will come. You know it's coming. And though the

  597. day in the hour may not be known, we should continually,

  598. somebody say, continually always in a state of watchfulness. We

  599. gotta stay in a state of watchfulness. See, how do

  600. you stay in the state of watchfulness when folks see?

  601. It's only folks, y'all, and things.

  602. It's only focus and things that you got to be

  603. in a state of watchfulness for it. Only people can

  604. come to you and try to throw your focus out

  605. come the least and tell her you are so and

  606. so and so and so. I don't care what see

  607. and if you fall into.

  608. That, you right with them? What you down about? You see?

  609. You gotta watchfulness only things.

  610. It's your look good right there? I need to get

  611. that right there, Only things and people, folks.

  612. Is your watchfulness from hey man? You gotta stay in

  613. a state of watchfulness that he may not come upon

  614. us unaware.

  615. You can't be like, oh is it you? When he come,

  616. you're gonna be just like this, how you doing? Lord?

  617. That's not gonna because you're in a state of watchfulness.

  618. So when he comes, you're gonna be like, hey you doing? Lord?

  619. But if you ain't aware, you're gonna be like this,

  620. what was that?

  621. So let me conclude this thing on that. I'm gonna

  622. conclude this on that. Then the time would be normal.

  623. Any time it's gonna be normal.

  624. What do I mean normal?

  625. I'm up here right now ministering, preaching and teaching the

  626. word of God. This normal, and he can come right now,

  627. then the town gonna be normal.

  628. Normal could be when you walk out that door to

  629. get in your car to go with to eat or

  630. go home with. Normal. Normal would be Monday morning.

  631. When you get up the Lord state to say and

  632. go to where you driving down the road.

  633. You're going to work. Normal. He could come while you're

  634. driving down the road. The only way to work. Normal.

  635. It's gonna be normal. Let me help you out. Let

  636. me let me help you out. It was a guy.

  637. I told you the story before he came to Memphis.

  638. He visits daughter, a young lady.

  639. Used to go to church that used to go to

  640. came to visit his daughter.

  641. He lived in Atlanta.

  642. He got in his car when he got the visitation.

  643. I don't know how he's long. He stayed a week

  644. or whatever. He got in his car.

  645. Normal. He's driving back to the line of die normal. Normal.

  646. He ain't don't get no sign normal. So the end

  647. time will be normal. The end time's gonna be normal.

  648. And life goes on despite the interruptions. Life goes on,

  649. And spite the interruptions, God worked with me. His sister died.

  650. They had her funeral yesterday. But in spite of that interruption,

  651. time didn't stop.

  652. Still going on.

  653. So life goes on despite the interruptions. But suddenly Christ

  654. will come. Suddenly he will come. As time goes on,

  655. suddenly he will come. Luke fourteen and seventeen tells us

  656. in the Book of the Word of God that and

  657. sent his servant at supper time to say to them

  658. that were.

  659. Bidding come, for.

  660. All things are now ready, and they all would want

  661. to call. What constant began to make excuse? The first

  662. said unto him, I have brought a piece of ground,

  663. and I must need to go see it. I pray

  664. THEE have me excused. And another said, I have bought

  665. five yolks of vakia, and I go to go to

  666. prove them. I pray, THEE have me excused. And another said,

  667. I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

  668. MM.

  669. So the servant came and showed his Lord these things.

  670. Then the mouths of the house.

  671. Being angry, said to his servant, go out quickly into

  672. the streets of the lanes of the city, and bring

  673. in hither the poor and the main, and the haughty

  674. and the blind. And he and the servant said, Lord,

  675. it is done as thou hast commanded.

  676. And yet there is room.

  677. And the Lord said, unto the servant, go into the

  678. highways and hises and compel them to come in that

  679. may that my house may be feeled, for I say

  680. unto you that none of these men which were bidden

  681. shall taste of the supper.

  682. You ain't getting it, You got all they excuse it.

  683. Let me go take care of this first.

  684. God m h. The time is now done, deal over.

  685. So suddenly Christ will come. And as the business of

  686. life continues, are you ready for the coming of Christ?

  687. To get ready, you must repent of your sins.

  688. So as life continues, things.

  689. Are going to continue to go on and on and on.

  690. But you have to stay focused of the coming of

  691. Jesus Christ.

  692. Although interruptions of life.

  693. May come, still gotta stay focused and watchful of the.

  694. Christ that's coming. No matter what's going on.

  695. Your child may in trouble, your husband might be in trouble,

  696. your house might be in trouble. You still gotta stay

  697. focused on the coming of Jesus Christ coming. You gotta

  698. stay focused even though these interruptions come.

  699. You gotta stay focused.

  700. What's happening to the people of God now The interruptions

  701. are causing them to lose focus, But you gotta stay

  702. ain't ready, and you must repent of your sins and

  703. believe on Christ Jesus and.

  704. Live a new life. It ain't so it ain't. It

  705. ain't so much that you.

  706. Believe on Christ that's gonna get you.

  707. You gotta live that new life and watch that life

  708. of hope in his coming. Amen.

  709. Continue to live that life in hope of his coming,

  710. because he's coming.

  711. He's coming.

  712. There are people that believe that Jesus Christ is not coming.

  713. There are people that believe that Jesus Christ has already come,

  714. and he has, but they don't believe he's coming back.

  715. They don't believe that. There's some that believe he's not came.

  716. These are Jews who believe.

  717. He hasn't come.

  718. Because if they believe that, again, I tell you, they

  719. had to believe that. With them, they crucified it. They

  720. don't want to believe that. But whether they want to

  721. believe it or not, the Bible said He's already come,

  722. and he was already hung on.

  723. A tree, and he's already saved us from the sins

  724. of this world. Amen.

  725. So I'm going to end with this in the Book

  726. of Hebrews.

  727. Amen. And in the Book of Hebrews, chapter ten, I

  728. want to end with this right here ten and verse nineteen, and.

  729. It says, having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the

  730. Holy by the blood of Jesus. What he's talking about

  731. is y'all enter the end to the work and the

  732. walk of salvation, into a new faith in Jesus Christ,

  733. and by a new and living way which he had

  734. consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say,

  735. his flesh, and having a high priest over the House

  736. of God, let us draw near with a true heart

  737. and all in full assurance, full assurance of the faith

  738. that means you just believe, having our hearts sprinkled from

  739. an evil conscience.

  740. In our bodies washed with pure water.

  741. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering,

  742. for He is faithful that promise. And let us consider

  743. one another to provoke, unto love, to good works.

  744. So we got to stare up the love, that's to provoking.

  745. We got to let our conscience.

  746. Consider one another to provoke or to stare up the love.

  747. And to good works in one another.

  748. In other words, we are to be sharper than each

  749. other on a daily amen, not forsaking the assembly. There

  750. it is, y'all keep saying, I made that up, But

  751. there it is not forsaken.

  752. The assembly of ourselves.

  753. That didn't me me myself sitting in front of TV,

  754. watching TV.

  755. Preacher. It's it ourselves. It isn't say myself together.

  756. That means we gotta come together as the man of

  757. some is but exhorting one another.

  758. And so much the more as ye see.

  759. The day approaching, we don't know when is coming, but

  760. guess what it's coming.

  761. We don't know when, but it's coming. We know that there's.

  762. Going to be a day and an hour that Jesus

  763. Christ will come back. It's foolish for us not to

  764. prepare ourselves. I said to prepare ourselves, not to get prepared,

  765. but to prepare ourselves. You just heard the scriptures say

  766. that we won't have time to get ready.

  767. We gotta be right
