New Recording (draft)

We thank God for his words and his truth. Amen.

Let us pray. Father. We thank you Lord for another day.

We thank you for our lives. Today. We thank you

so much God for being who you are in our lives.

We thank you Father for everything you do for us.

In the name of Jesus, We'll give you glory and

we give you praise today in the mighty name of

Jesus Christ. Now touch the very heads of everyone here,

to the crown of their head, to their toes. Give

us understanding, Fill us with your knowledge and wisdom. Father,

help us, Holy Spirit, help us in these last and

evil times. In the name of Jesus. We think and

we glorify you today, God, and we're here to heal

word from you. We come for no shape, form, or fashion,

but to hear encouraging word, a word that's going to

help us, a word of rebuke, a word of encouragement.

Whatever your will is today, God, to help us to

continue on this path of righteousness for your namesake. And

this we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. We talked this

morning about the judgment that will come upon Jerusalem and Judah. Amen.

Turn me down a little bit, Dick, so there is

a continuation here in this message today, for that was

a judgment that would come up on Judah and Jerusalem.

But also we're going to talk about this judgment was

a warning to them, Amen, So this is a warning.

It was also a warning to us today. So today

were talking about the warning. You see, Christ, Christ is

all knowing. A man. Christ is all knowing. Jesus Christ

is all knowing. And Jesus tells us in the scriptures

in the Book of Matthews that many people are going

to be lost, but only few are going to be saved.

Are you hearing what I'm saying? I said, Jesus said

that there will be many people lost and only a

few will be saved. This Jesus now. And there's a

reason why I said that. Jesus Christ is all knowing,

because behind me telling you that he's all knowing, he

says many will be lost and few will be saved.

And since he's all knowing, that has to be true.

How should I say it is true? Amen? Let's look

at Matthew chapter seven and verse thirteen. Are you with me?

Chapter seven and verse thirteen? When you get there, say man,

Amen Matthews Chapter seven, verse thirteen. Amen, in a enter

you in at the straight gate? This is the door.

Who is Jesus Christ? Amen? And before I go on,

let's look at John chapter ten. I want to make

this very this. I want to make very clear to

all of us. Say to you, I said all of us.

I want to make this very clear to all of

us what the scriptures are saying. And the Holy Spirit

is gonna help us. Hey man, He says, enter you

into you? Who is you? Me? And you in at

the straight gate? This is the door, the gate. Jesus

is the door. We already know that. But in John

ten's ten and verse one he says, verily, verily, I

say unto you, he who enters not by the door

into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the

same as a thief and a robber. Jesus is the door.

It's the only way to go in. If you don't

go in that way, you're a thief in the robber.

Did y'all see that? Verse fourteen says, well, rather, the

rest of this scripture says for why he says, inner,

you in at the straight gate? For why is the gate?

Why is the gate? There's a straight gate? And then

there's a wide gate, and broad is the way that

leads to destruction. And many there be which go in

there at. So notice it says many. You see that

it said many. So I just told you that Jesus

Christ is all knowing, and Jesus Christ says there are

going to be many many you see, there were many

lost and few were going to be saved. So it

says many there be which go in they're at. So

it's just telling you that they're gonna many many people

of the world, and it is which are false and

led by false people will be in eternal hell fire.

Hey Man. Verse fourteen says in Matthews Chapters seven, because

straight is the gate. Straight is the gate, and narrow

is the way which leads unto life, and few there

be that find it. The requirements are greater than most

are willing to accept to any in the straight gate?

Can I say that again? Sure I can. The requirements

are great, Amen, The requirements are greater than most are

willing to accept. But they're not that great for those.

Broad is the way, Because broad is the way. You

can do anything you want to do, any way you

want to do it, anyhow you want to do it. Amen.

But we see her in these verses. What Jesus is

given a warning to it, Man, you may be seated

in the house of the Lord. What Jesus is given

warning to here? Amen, our God, you according to the Bible,

not me. Majority of people will be lost. So if

this is a warning from God, if we've never ever

taken a warning at faith value, this is one we

need to take at faith value because it's real. A

lot of warnings are real, but not as detrimental as

this warning. Amen. And if we look at verse twenty

one in the same chapter of Matthews, it says, not

everyone who says and to me this God he's saying,

seek See he's out knowing people. Let's keep that in

our heads. Okay, God is all knowing. He knows everything.

If you walk up to God and say you think

you know everything, it ain't nothing to think about. He

know everything. It ain't like telling one of us you

think you know everything. No, God knows everything. And since

he knows everything, he says right here, not everyone who

says them to me, Lord shall enter into the Kingdom

of Heaven. So if God says not everyone that says Lord,

Lord go in the kingdom heaven. They ain't gonna en

him because God said so. And then he goes on

to say, but he who does the will of my father,

which is in heaven, what is the will of the father?

Verse twenty three tells us the will of the Father? Amen.

And then will I profess them to them? I never

knew you? But he says here in verse twenty two,

many were saying to me in that day. Many are

gonna say that. But verse twenty three says, and then

will I profess them to them? I never knew you.

Depart from me. You work, you who work iniquity. So

that's what he's talking about in verse twenty three. In

verse twenty one, he's talking about the people in verse

twenty three. Hey man, So here we are presented in

this verse. The gates gates two gates, not three gates,

not four gates. See, we don't have a maybe gate.

We don't have a maybe gate. We got a narrow

gate and a bron gate. There's no maybe gate. There's

no maybe gate. There's no straveling defense gate. In other words,

there's no gate in between. There's only a straight gate

and a narrow gate, and that's all that's all God.

I ain't present nothing to you. I'm just telling you

what God had presented. That's all that God has presented

to us is two gates, two gates. You either going

in this gate, are you going in that gate. There

ain't no maybe gate. He ain't no stravling the fence gate.

But Jesus commanded his followers to enter in through the

narrow gate. He commanded you to do that, which is

God's kingdom. So if you go through the other gate,

you're rebellious against God because he commands you to go

in the narrow gate. Yet out hear what I'm saying.

I'm trying to I'm gonna break it down. He ain't

gonna miss this. You ain't walk out of here and missus.

So he commands us to go in through the narrow

gate because that's the gate that leads to the kingdom.

It's a small gate, and it's a narrow road, but

it's a loan, but it alone leads to eternal life.

It's narrow, but it alone leads to eternal life. And

the broad gate. Again, the broad gate is so wide

because you can do whatever you want to get in there.

It don't matter what you do to get in there.

You ain't got to prove yourself. You can clown like

a fool. You can do whatever you want to do, skip, hop, jumping,

slide and all kinds of stuff. But that gate's gonna

welcome you. You can be a homosexual, you can be

a liar or thief and a robber. That gate's gonna

accept you. You can be an adulterous and an eye doulger.

That gate's gonna accept you. Meant anything you wanna do,

that gate's gonna accept you. That's why it's broad. But

the other gate, it's a small gate, and it's narrow.

It's a narrow road, but it alone least the eternal life. Amen.

But the wide gate, however, it's a highway. I don't

know how many lanes. I was gonna say seven, but

I knew it's more than that. It's so wide. There's

no other side traffic going that way. In this way.

It's so wide, ain't no traffic going that way. All

of its going that way one way, and that way

is the hell. The highway to Hell is broad, and

it is the easy way because there's plenty of room. Amen,

It's plenty of room because it's for many people. And

you can wander in and continually continuously, continuous, continuously wandering.

It ain't gonna move. The narrow gate will never move,

but the broadgate will widen. Widen. Have a big need

to get to exception. The narrow gate is gonna accept

you through the narrow gate, is it. It ain't gonna

move for you. Walls ain't gonna move. You're gonna have

to walk straight. Ain't no wobbling, none of that straight Now,

the gateway of life, it's small, but not It's small

but not because it's difficult amen to become a Christian,

but because there is only one way, and only a

few decide to walk the road, because why they accept

conditions of God. One John chapter two. We're gonna roll

with this little first, little part of this, and then

we're gonna move on. First John chapter two and verse three.

And it says this is evidence. In other words, this

is evidence, and here bout we do know it. Didn't

say we think about it. He said we know that

we know him. And hereby we do know that we

know him if we keep his commandments. He who says

I know him and keeps not his commandments? What they

call him what and what ain't in him is not

in him. But somebody say, budd whoso keeps his word

in him, rarely is the love of God perfected Hereby

Now we say that we are in him. He who

says he abides in him our himself also to do what?

What must you do? Is you abided him? Do what?

To walk even as he walked? In other words, you

gotta walk the same walk he walked. See, you know

you belong. You know you belong when you are keeping

the commandments on a required basis, a regular required basis.

You know, let me tell you something. If when people

get saved, they know which way they're walking, it's those

that claim they save and they ain't saved, they fooling theyself.

But when you say, you know how you walking when

something come up, you know you ain't supposed to be

walking in that direction. You know you ain't spposed to

be walking in that direction. You know why because the

Holy gools is gonna tell you ain't supposed to be

walking in that direction. And you're gonna either listen to

the holy ghost and go in at broad road that

you're gonna go to that now road, Hey man, so

you know you belong when you are keeping His commandments

on a regular basis. Because see, somebody says to me,

why this keep happening to me? Why they keep happening

to me? I said, because you're not consistent, That's what

I told her. I said, you're not consistent. Some days

you want to go to church. Matter of fact, you

don't even go to church hardly, hardly, and then when

you go, you pick up nothing because you continue to

walk in your ways. And every now and then you

want to bend your knees and pray. I said, every

now and then you want to bend your knees and pray,

and then you you thank God is supposed to give

you a rose Ross for Volkswagon money. He ain't gonna

do it because you can't afford the Volkswag, I mean

the rose Russ because your life. It ain't about the money.

It's about your life. It's not affording it. You know

why rose ross don't advertise how much they cost because

they know their wealth they're worth. Rather, they know how

much they're worth. That's why they don't advertise how much

they cost. When you see advertising about how much a

rose ruse costs somebody else's advertising. They're trying to sell it,

but the company don't advertise how much they cost because

they already know they're worth. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

Mm hm. But you know you belong when you're keeping

the commandments on a regular basis and doing as Christ

says and doing as Christ wants. Amen. So again, we're

still talking about these gates that God has presented to us,

and you know which gate you're going to. I'm trying

to help you to notice by scripture. These scriptures are

telling you which way you're going. Amen. First Peter one. More,

first Peter, chapter two, First Peter two, and verse twenty four.

And it says he you, who his own self bear

our sins and his own body on the tree, that we,

being dead to sins sins, should live unto righteousness, by

whose stripes you will heal. So he healed our soul,

and he healed our physical body as well. He gave

an atonement for us. Amen, for you, whereas she going astray,

we were of we was a whole flock without a shepherd.

But are now somebody said, now return into the shepherd

and bishop of your soul. So Jesus Christ gave the

atonement for our lives. He's the shepherd, he's the bishop.

Was the bishop the overseer of our soul. Amen, to

keep us from spiritually wrecking our soul. Amen. So in

John thirteen and fifteen, Saint John, that is the Bible

speaks here, if I have given you an example, so

the disciples were to learn, especially by imitating their teacher. Amen,

because he says, for I have given you an example

that you should do as I have done to you. Then,

of course, in that Pacific passage of scripture, he's talking

about feet washing. As I have done to you, I've

washed your feet. Peter thought g was too great to

wash feet, but Jesus had to let him know, you

gotta humble yourself in this walk. You got to have

humility in this walk. So he was given an example.

When we make it broader than the feet washing, the

example was that as I do you do as well

as I do to you, you do to each other

as well. Amen. In other words, I'm setting the example

of how to walk. Amen. So in these verses in

Chapter seven thirteen and fourteen, this is talking about this

is during the Sermon on the mound. Amen. And as

we come to understand that, scholars say somewhere between three

to five days Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mound.

That should touch home with you because people can't say

in church thirty minutes, but they were there three to

five days. They didn't move. And because they didn't move

and begin to become a great multitude of people, he

had to feed them. They didn't move. That's what you

need to get your head. They didn't move for three

to five days hearing the word of God from Jesus Christ.

They didn't Ooo. Folks said in the sanctuary of the

churches around the world. Oh this is after thirty minutes.

They're looking at the watch. They're ready to go. Three

to five a's. But this was the closing section of

the Sermon on the Mound, and it presented two choices.

After he preached this word, he presented two choices to them,

and the two choices were the gates. He presented two

choices to the listeners, and only two choices, only two

that the listeners can make. They can only make two choices.

And these section of these verses also tells us few

will find that straight gate, that straight gate is Jesus Christ.

Few will fine, not that he's lost, but few will fine.

And the way is also Jesus. Also they few will

find the gate, and few will find the way He

is the way He is the gate, aymen. And even

as he speaks in verses twenty one to twenty three,

not everyone professing Christ Jesus is genuinely saved. Everybody saying

they know Jesus ain't generally saved. I'm saved, sanct the fact,

and filled with some kind of spirit, with a mighty burning,

strange fire. They ain't truly saved. Everybody wants to make

people save. Oh man, Oh yeah, he a Christian, y'all. Y'all.

Hear people say that about folks all the time. It's

a red flag. To me, it's a red flag. He's

a Christian. Who are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, oh boy,

I told you to go, sue. He gonna take care

of you. He a Christian. You get over there and

he rip you off. Everybody professing Jesus Christ is not

generally saved. Even the outward verbal acknowledgement of his leadership

is in itself not enough to save the unbeliever. It's

not enough it's not enough that you have a verbal acknowledgement.

It's not enough apart from true repentance. That's why it's

not enough. Folks. They folks talking about they saved safety

five and all that, those stuff, and it ain't even

repent it. So your verbal words is not enough because

action has to be presented with that, and that is

to repent. Without repentance, your verbal acknowledgement is not enough.

You must repent you and it must be true repentance

because without true repentance, there is no deliverance. I'm sorry,

you caught me. That's not repentance. True repentance produces true

deliverance and true salvation. Amen. So true repentance and faith

is what we need because a genuinely save person is

one that do it the will of the Father constantly constantly.

That word should linger over you constantly. See people are

not consistent, constantly, consistently doing the will of God. Amen,

it's tough. See the Greek present tense suggests that one

is continually living in obedience. This is the Greek print.

This is what the Greek presents. This is the Greek

present tense of what they suggest, what it suggests in

the Greek that one is continually living in obedience to

the will of God as a normal Somebody say normal,

a normal course of life. It's normal for you to

be consistently living continually by the word of God. That's

a same person as normal for them. It's not normal

for a person that believes they straveling defense. I said,

they believe it. There is no stratling the fence. I

don't know who made that up, but that's what it

was made up. You can't straddle defense. Either you on

one side or the other. See, that's the reason why

they say, y'all heard people say all the time, he

thought the grass was greener on the other side of

the fence. Guess what, it's the same grass. It's the

grass on this side that grew through the fence. That's

why it ain't greener. It's the same grass. Can't stravel

the fence. You either on the devil's side are you

on God side. There ain't no in between. There is

no maybe gate. There is no maybe gate. There are

only two roads to eternity, and we are on one

or the other. According to what the Lord says, only

few will make it to heaven. But the very majority

will be lost in eternal punishment. This is both frightening

and sad, and it's more frightening. I don't know. I

believe they equal. I believe it's just as much frightening

as it is sad. I don't consider myself to be

a selfish individual. I don't, so I said that because

I want to be on the happy side. And I'm

gonna be on the happy side. Amen, somebody, I certainly

want to be among the few who I said. I'm

gonna say, like Paul said, I'm fully persuaded. I want

to be I want to be on the side of

the few who are said don't you? Don't you? And

I see here a few? Amen? The other people must

be sleep. You see what you don't understand? Your response

is very welcoming to God. He's the host here. So

if I say don't you and you don't answer, the

host don't hear you. Don't you see? God is the

host here. And if you don't want to participate in

God's house, that's the problem. Some people are so stubborn

they don't even want to clap their hands in God's house,

give the Lord some praise in this house. Ain't Okay,

how love God is the host. You must keep that

in mind. And if God wants to ask, don't you

don't you you should answer. We make the choice ourselves,

don't we? Sure we do as to where we would

spend eternity. See, people be talking about God gonna send

you to hell. No he ain't, he is not. They've

been saying that so long. People believe it, so that's

why they say it. But it's not true. We make

the choice ourselves is where we will spend eternity. We

are free more agents. God has given us choice to make.

Nobody can choose for you whether you're gonna go to

heaven or hell. Nobody but you, not even God chooses

it for you, because he said I sat before you

life and death. You choose. Sound like to me he

told you to do it. I don't know what it

sounded like to you, but when I heard the word you,

I can truly believe you're talking about us to make

our own decisions. Yeah, so don't nobody send you to

hell but you? Because we free more agents. And this

is how we different from animals. While they love it

and kissing on animals and all other stuff they do

with animals. We've been made in the image of God.

Animals ain't made an image of God. That's just one

factor coming to you, y'all. I'm coming to y'all. Dog

loves Okay, to love the dog. God made the dog.

He should love. You should love what God has created.

But don't go behind all that because a lot of

people believe the dog is more valuable than a human,

and they believe that the dog is worse more than

a human. That's why when the taunt them hurricanes came,

they went in there and saved animals, and people were

still needing to be saved. One factor, we were created

in God's image. Genisis one in twenty six tells us

that then God said, let us make man in our image.

And also in Genesis two and seven we read and

the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground.

It wasn't dirt, it was dust. It was dust. Because

he's letting you know just how magnificent he is. He

took dust. Dust, not some physical like dirt, but dust, y'all,

don't hear what I'm saying. He made us out of

the dirt, no dust. That lets you know how powerful

he is. He took dust and made us of the

ground and breathe into the nostril of the breath of life.

Man became a living Here's the other second different soul.

He made us in the image of himself, and we

became an and when he breathing to us, we became

a living soul. Animals don't have a soul. Second factor, Yes,

we possess a soul that will live forever in one

or two places. See when people talk about eternity, they

preached about you're gonna live in eternity. Oh yeah, glad

with the Lord. No, it's two eternities. Hold your celebration,

and make sure that eternity ain't hell about the gate

that you choose. How you with me, make sure that

that gate is not held that gate that you choose. Hey, man,

you possess the choice of which gate you're gonna enter end.

Can't nobody push you in that gate? Because if you're

standing over there in the first place, if you standing

over the battle wrong gate and you get pushed in,

you shouldn't have been on that side in the first place.

But nobody can push you in. You're gonna walk in.

You're gonna walk in on your own you're gonna stroll

right on in there like you was doing the sin

right and on in that gate. Oh yeah. The thing

about it is when you get close enough to it,

you're gonna be kicking and screaming. I've seen this. There

was a man in the hospital dying and he was afraid.

He died afraid he saw those demons coming. No, no, no,

I don't want to go there. No, it's too late.

It was too late. This is really I've seen so

many things in life and tell you to trip you out.

That's how I know this word is real. God has

given me example, at the example, at the example. I

am definitely, I tell myself all the time. I am definitely,

without excuse. I am definitely without excuse, I am. I

know it's real. God's proven it to me that it's real.

So yes, you possess a soul that will live forever

in one of two places, only one. And here's the

thing about it. When the gate closed, it's there's no key,

there's no crowbar, there's no torch, there's no battle around.

There's no truck, there's no eighteen wheeler, there's no tank,

there's no bomb, there's no missile that can blow that

door off them hinges. It's closed. It's a powerful gait

and there's nothing in this world that can remove or

open up that gate. Not even God is gonna open

it back up. That's powerful him. It's sad and frightening too,

ain't it. But it's real. Here's a good part that

reference on up. God does not want anyone to be lost,

but the choice is still ours. Tewod Peter three and nine.

We read this the Lord is not slack concerning his

promises as some count slackness, as some count it, but

is long suffering towards us. Why because he's not willing

that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God doesn't want any of us to perish. He wants

all of us to come to repentance. But look how

wonderful in loving he is. He's so wonderful in loving

he knows. He still continues doing what he do because

he God. But God knows many gonna be lost. It's

sad to him. You know why it's so sad to him,

because it's a soul. It's sad. See, God is not

slack concerning us. So what we must understand in God

is not slack concerning his purpose. Is all about his patience.

See it, ain't you be looking at and God? That

didn't all? He ain't slacking son in them situations and circumstances.

It's his patience. See, we think he's slacked concerning things,

but he ain't. It's his patience. His patience is awesome.

You know how I know his patience is awesome. Of

course God waited for us to get right instead of

letting us die and sind. His patience is immaculate. We

give up on folks. Look at that folk that smoking

that crack. Look at that folk. God said, I'm waiting

on him. He gonna be delivered. You just can't see it.

I can see it his patience. He's not slacked his patience.

Why is his patience so powerful? Because he does not

want to see you perish. He don't give up on

you right away like that and let you go straight

to hell. I've seen God saved folks who want who

were saved but backslid and then got saved, and God

allowed him to come be with him. I looked at

that thing, and I said, God trying to keep you

from going backwards again. So he took her on home

because he saw what you couldn't see. Ain'ty wonderful, He

ain't slack, He's just patient. He gives us time to repent,

even though he knows who will and who won't. About say,

he stands at the door and he knocks this all day.

When you open the door stops. You ain't open it.

Yet he keep doing that till you go to your

grave and go to hell. When you go to grave

and go to hell, he stops, and the more knocking

because you don't open the door. You open the door?

What door? Did you open? The door? The gate, the hell,

the eternity. Once you open the door, he stopped knocking

either door, he stops knocking. Eternal life with Christ Jesus.

You done open, You done went through that gate. Stop knocking,

Hell and damnation. He keeps knocking. You went through that gate,

he stops knocking. He stops knocking when the gate opens,

He stops knocking when you go through the gate, niggas.

Since then, he's patient. He gives us time to repent,

even though he knows who will and who won't. See

this helped me to do this, not to judge people.

I say, you're going to hell. Man. But when I

came to understand the patience of God and that God

sees a lot further than us, I say it different. Now.

I say, you're going to hell if you don't change

your ways. See you say going to hell because all

I see is hell, But I don't see what's on

the other side. It could be another. It could be

a good side on the other side for you. So

I have to say, listen, you're going to hell if

you don't change your ways. I ain't told you you

was going to hell. I said, if you don't change

your ways. That's the Bible, God saying that. Now me

just repeating it. So we can't understand. God knows who

will and who won't, but we don't. So we can't

give up on folks. You can't give up on your children.

You can't give up on your children. You got to

give up on you trying to do your See, there's

something you gotta give up, But it ain't on your children.

It's on you. What do you mean, prettychu, I mean

you got to take your hands off of them and

give them to God and keep your hands off of them.

When you put your hands back on them, it's you

doing you again. Take your hands off of them. God

is not gonna let you help him. You won't be

able to walk around and say, when they come through

and be delivered, look what I did. I help God out. No,

he's too wise for that. Keep your hands on them.

He'll take his off. Take yours off here, put his

on them. He don't need your help. He don't need it.

He's off sufficient, he's out no England. All you can

do is pray, unless you put your God's hands on them.

If you pray and wear it, ye better. Just keep

wearing it. You gotta pray, leave it to God. We

all got to learn to do it. But when we

learn to do it, we gotta keep doing it. Sometimes,

when you take your hands off, it looks like it's

getting worse. That's the enemy trying to fool you. It's

gonna look like it's getting worse. It's really gonna look

like it's getting worse. But the enemy is only doing that,

and your flesh is only doing that so that you

will put your hands back on them. You gotta leave

your hands off. It's not gonna be well with you.

It's not gonna feel good. It's gonna hurt. I'm gonna

tell you the truth. But even if they die, as

long as they get delivered, that means they lived. Are

you getting me? See, that's the reason why once you

get saved, you're healed. Y'all get that. Well, he was

healed and he was saved, that he died of cancer. No,

he still lives. He ain't got no cancer no more.

He is delivered. See, you gonna get delivered either way.

You ain't gonna get delivered right him with cancer? Are

you gonna get delivered over? There cansel Either way, you're

gonna get delivered because God promised that you're gonna get delivered. Yeah,

we want to get delivered on this side. Yeah. But

if you don't get delivered on this side and you

go that way, you're still gonna have it. Because what's

on this side torment torture? What's cancer? Torment torture? Trying

to help you? See, we must understand that He gives

us time to repent, even though He knows who will

and who want. God knows who. You can't fool God,

because to tell the truth, God really is not delayed

in nothing that he dos. He's not delayed in the

destructions of this world. God ain't delayed in the destruction

of this world. He's not. It's just the love he

has for us, That's what it is. It's all but

soon that he will at some point in time even

though the love. You ever heard somebody say, because I

love you, I'm gonna let you go. That don't mean

I don't love you. I love you, but I love

you enough to let you go. That's God. So when

we understand he's really not delaying in the destruction of

this world, it's just the love he has for us.

All but soon that to will have to cause him

to keep his word and end it all. See, he

still got to end it all. But it's the love

and the patience of God, not the fact that he's

delay anything. But because of the patience of God and

the love of God, that it's not his will that

anyone should perish. Amen. So we come to understand the

Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness.

But it's long suffering, patient towards us, not willing that

any should perish, but it all should come to repentance.

Tewod Peter Chapter three and verse nine. God does not

want us to go into eternal punishment. We go because

we choose to go. He is not going to force

us to serve him though. Otherwise we would just be

pure robots programmed by God to do God's will. See,

the programming gotta come from us. We got to program

our own selves. How do we program myself? These are

the instructions for programming yourself right here. If you want

to program your computer, you read the instruction. If you

want to program you you read these instructions. But at

the end of the day, you still doing the program

the computer don't can program itself. You do ay man, Man,

He's not going to force you to serve him, otherwise

we would be robots. One Timothy to Enforced says concerning God,

who desires all men to be saved. It is God's

desire that we all be saved. The Bible says many

a call. You know why, because everyone has been called

into the South into salvation. Everyone has been called. Everybody

walking this earth, and if anybody is on the moon

have been called to the plan of salvation. But only

few are chosen. But it is God's desire for all

men to be saved and to come into the knowledge

of the truth. It is God's will that all be saved,

but we know that it's not going to happen. That's

the sad part about it, and the scary part. We

know everybody ain't gonna be saved. It's just the truth. Okay,

you might well just come out of your sadness because

this is truth and we've already it's seen that only

a few are going to be saved and the majority

are going to be lost. But the question is what

about you? Will you be saved? What is your eternal destiny?

My eternal destiny, by choice is heaven. I can only

speak for me. My hope. My prayer is that my

family enters ind to Heaven. My hope and my prayer

is that all of the people of God that's following

Jesus Christ will come into the Kingdom of God. That's

my prayer. But my destiny is to make it into

the kingdom. Because if you miss Heaven, you will be

thrown into the eternal hell and fire. Miss heaven, you

will be thrown into the eternal fires of hell. If

you miss heaven. It says if you miss heaven, if

you don't, you didn't miss it. Because one of the

saddest things about going to hell is the fact that

it could have been avoided. That's the saddest thing about it.

It could have been avoided. You know, there's a lot

of things that we see in life. It's sad to us.

We knew it could have been avoided because we told them,

don't do it. We told them don't do it. We

knew what was gonna happen, and they did it anyway,

and it was sad that the result that they gat

was not good. See, that's the same thing with God.

He's given you instructions. It's sad you could have avoided

it because He told you the truth. He told you

the truth, not the prophet, not the bishop, not the

pastor God telling you the truth right here in this word,

somebody preaching to you your studies at home, your studies

in the house of God. Not the preacher, but the

Word of God tells you the truth, the truth that

only the truth come by the Holy Spirit of God.

And the sad thing about people going to hell, they

could have avoided it. The majority of people will be

lost that scripture. In spite of what the Lord has done.

They gonna be You know what the Lord has done

to keep them from me and lost. He went to

the cross, He got mocked, he got beaten, he got

spit on his clothes, was gambled, he was slammed in

a hole on the cross, knailed to that cross. In

spite of all that he did, folks still want to

be lost. In spite of all the love he has

for the entire world, they still want to hate him.

But that's about choice. That's true. Hey man. Even if

you've been raised as an atheist, you still gonna have

a choice, because guess what's gonna happen. If you've been

raised by an atheists and you move on, this gonna happen.

This right here is gonna keep happening. This is gonna

keep happening. If you were raised by the atheists, this

gonna keep on, man, happening. If you was raised by

white supremacists a clue clock trying, this gonna always happen.

If you were raised by the Muslims, this gonna always happen.

And came none of them open that door, but you

and let him in. But it's gonna keep happening because

he's a righteous god. He's a patient guard, and he

gonna make sure you had a choice. You gonna hear

that word. It's gonna be delivered to you. But it's

gonna be up to you. It's gonna you were raised

on a desert island with a bunch of monkeys. That's

still gonna happen. It's still gonna happen. It gotta happen.

It ain't what'sn't matter, It's gotta happen. Many a call,

so you are chosen. This is the call. He gotta

call you. He said he had to. He's not a

man that he should lie out, the son of man.

He should repent. It's gonna happen. But your choice is

when you make it. But the sad majority of the people,

in spite of what the Lord has done, gonna be lost.

A person who goes to hell is his own worst enemy.

You your own enemy. In spite of Preacher's talking about

he in a better place is and in the casket

in front of him, he in a batter play. Yeah

he got killed in the drive back way of smoking crack.

But he in a better place. Yeah, he in the

better place. He was robbing the bank and got shot

in the head and died. While he was robbing the

bank in a better place. You're a liar. He's not

in a better place. He in a bad place, a

place he ain't gonna never come back from. He in hell.

So you are your own worst enemy when you go

to Hell. It wasn't because of Jimmy or John, or

Betty or Sue. It's because of you. Hell is not

what God does to us, but hell is what we

do to ourselves. See I know, Helen, what God does

to us because I heard my Savior say, I go

and prepared place for you. It wasn't in hell, he said,

with my father in Heaven. That's how he made it plain, decon.

He made it plain where the place is. He made

it plain where the place is? He said, I go

and prepare place for you. Who is you God's people

that continually constantly serve the law a place. It's a

prepared place. See what he said, I go and prepare

He has to prepare the place. Why Because it's for

a prepared people. What people, people who have prepared themselves

to make it to the kingdom. That's why it's a

prepared place. Because it's for a prepared people. Hey, man,

Hell is not for you. When you go to Hell,

you break in. He said he made hell for the

devil in his fallen age. Ain't that what he's saying

is that scripture is your name, devil, a fallen angel.

What you're doing breaking in the hell? Then you gotta

break in the hell. You ain't got no key. The

devil and the fallen angels got a key. But the

only works one way. Let them in. They can't let

him out. You go up in there. You done broke in.

You ain't got no key. You done broke in, don't

they He make it sound even worse for you done

broke into hell. Hell's what we do to ourself. Hell

is not what God do. That's to us. If one

person of many people end up in hell, the only

person you can blame is the man in the mirror.

And it ain't gonna be nobody standing behind Jesus. The

only figure you're gonna see in that mirror is you.

So as the verse says, before we can be saved,

we must come to the knowledge of the truth. See,

you just can't be saved. You can be saved, but

you got to come into the knowledge of the truth.

Jesus said in John eight and thirty two. And ye

shall know. He'll say you shall. Maybe he didn't say

that you shall. Might. He didn't say that it may.

He said that you should know the truth. And then

when you know that truth, he said, the truth shall

make you free. He said, you shall know the truth.

And once you know the truth, he said, once you

know the truth, and say, if you don't know the truth,

you still like free, you em bondage. But he said,

wants you see, Jesus said, want you to know. That

is Jesus I told you in the beginning of a sermon.

He's all knowing. So if he said you shall know

the truth, and when you do know it that the

truth gon gonna make you free. It's gonna make you

free once you know it. That's what Jesus said. What

is the truth? What is that truth that would make

you free? Saint John seventeen to seventeen, Jesus says, sanctify

them by your truth. Your word is truth, that's the truth.

That's what the truth is His word. So the word

of God is the truth that would make us free,

so that we can go to Heaven. The truth is

what where to God? You should know the truth? What

is the truth that you should know? Word of God.

What's the word of God gonna do make you free?

It ain't gonna set you free. It's gonna make you free.

It don't set you free. It don't set you free

to do whatever you want to do. It makes you

free to do what God say do. Amen? Give God

a handclapping his house. So the question to everyone that's listening,

and everyone here in the house, what is your eternal destination?

Only you and God? No? Amen, Amen, Praise the Lord, hallylujah.

These places are definite, Amen, These places are with you.

Call no turning back. This is why we have the

Holy Spirit, because when we get beside ourselves, we need

somebody to help us to turn us back into the

right direction. Amen. And when we're listening to his spirit,

he tells us when we're in the wrong place. He

tells us when we're around the wrong people. He tells

us when we're listening to the wrong things. He does.

When you let him operate, I said, when you let

him operate, I said, when you let him operate, he

tell you these things he puts He puts it in

your spirit, and you get a feeling, get a dessernment. Amen. Amen,

let us stand
