  1. You're listening to a message to go from church. We hope this message will

  2. light up your day. The message for today is Jesus concerns. It's not

  3. a milk message, you know, it is very much a deep message.

  4. It's a message of meat Jesus concerns to what's the finish line? Heaven rules?

  5. Now we have concerns and the and the next slide. How many of

  6. you have learned Masslow's hierarchy of needs in school? Can I see a show

  7. of hands? Okay, all right, let me explain it to you.

  8. Now. There's this guy, his name is Maslow, was Manslow, and

  9. he came across this or rather, he developed this understanding of needs, people's

  10. needs, and he put it in a hierarchy, a pinnacle or a triangle

  11. or a pyramid, if you if you know, if you want to understand

  12. it that way. Now, at the lowest level is the physiological needs.

  13. These are the needs relating to water and food, clothing, shelter, yes,

  14. even reproduction. Right now, why is this important? Do you know

  15. the first thing that Jesus said when he came up his first message, you

  16. know, when he introduced him himself. How did he introduce himself. He

  17. said that I have been sent to preach good news to who the poor?

  18. Did he say, I've come to save you? He said that later on.

  19. But the first thing he said when he introduced himself to everyone, that

  20. he had come to fulfill the purpose of God was to preach the good news

  21. to the poor. Why preach to the pour? Hey, the devil wants

  22. to crush, kill, and destroy. He also wants to steal from you.

  23. He wants to make you poor. Why because when he can make you

  24. poor, he will take your mind of the need or desire to know your

  25. God, because your basic need. I don't have food on the table,

  26. if you don't have water to drink. I mean, if you are out

  27. there in the desert and you come into this place and you see, yeah,

  28. you see this water, do you think you would ask me permission?

  29. He can have some of the water. If you haven't had water for a

  30. few days, you will run up, you will grab it, and you

  31. will just swallow the whole thing, because that's all you can think of,

  32. that's all you can focus of. If you haven't had food for days and

  33. you're so hungry and you don't have money to buy food, what might you

  34. do. There are many people in prison today who stole a loaf of bread

  35. because they were hungry. So if the devil can rob you and make you

  36. poor, he will take you out or your focus away from wanting to know

  37. who Jesus is. And that is why Jesus and his wisdom says, when

  38. I came, I came to preach good news to that poor. If Jesus

  39. can take their mind of their poverty and their need for basic things in it

  40. in life, he can do something about it. So Maswell said at the

  41. bottom rung, it's this this. I mean, if you didn't have a

  42. shelter over your head, what would you do? There are many people who

  43. are sleeping under bridges because they need a shelter over their head. You go

  44. to Singapore and you'd be surprised that all people are sleeping under staircases because their

  45. children will not look after them. You need shelter. Which are the most

  46. populous countries? Are they not the ones who have a lot of poverty because

  47. the need for reproduction is there basic need. I cannot enjoy going to the

  48. cinema, I cannot enjoy driving a fancy, I cannot enjoy good food,

  49. But there's some other things I can try and enjoy. So what happens as

  50. a result of that no money to buy protection and you have proliferation of kids.

  51. You go to Brazil I think it's Brazil, if I'm not mistaken,

  52. and there are many kids on the street who run around pickpocketing and stealing.

  53. Why because people just have kids. I mean I went to another the same

  54. country and it you know, heavy down, poor, and the roads flooded

  55. to maybe two feet one and a half feet two feet of water black water

  56. black. I'm not talking great, I'm talking black. And you know what's

  57. happening. Kids are playing it because there's so many of them. Let's move

  58. on. So, after you've taken care of those basic needs, you move

  59. the hierarchy to the needs for safety, okay, personal security, employment,

  60. resources, health, and property. When you have those basic needs met,

  61. don't you want something higher? Now? You don't want to live under a

  62. bridge. You perhaps want to employment, You want to live in a good

  63. house. You want to live in a house. You want to keep that,

  64. at least that basic thing going. When you've taken care of that,

  65. you go a little bit higher. Now you want you know, love and

  66. belonging, family, a sense of connection. So do you know that after

  67. your safety needs are taken care of, which means you want now a place

  68. that's pretty safe to live. You don't want to live under the bridge where

  69. the dogs can come after you. You want to live in a house where

  70. you've got a gate maybe, or you know, you feel a little bit

  71. safe. And when you take care of that, you say now you say,

  72. hey, I got a little bit of extra money, Maybe I should

  73. join a gym. You want connection. You want now to go out with

  74. your friends because you've got a little bit of extra money. Isn't it true?

  75. You want to have a friendship going. Maybe you want to start looking

  76. out for a life partner, somebody to share your life with. You See,

  77. as you go up and the lower things are being taken care of,

  78. you start to think of the higher things. Then we come to these two

  79. evils alcoholic two evils, esteem and self actualization. Esteem is respect, self

  80. esteem, status, recognition, strength and freedom. After you have that basic

  81. thing taken care of, now you've got friends. You want to be better

  82. than some. It's no longer sufficient to drive my v Now you want a

  83. Mercedes Bens. You want people to look at you as you pass by.

  84. Never mind that you've got no money now for other things, just to see

  85. you pass by in the car. You want people to look up to you.

  86. Ah. There are many people in this world today who are dying from,

  87. you know, stress, because they want to live for the esteem of

  88. other people. When that's taken care of, now, you want to believe

  89. that you have arrived. I've achieved all that I can ever achieve. So

  90. now do I want to do? I want to build a rocket and I

  91. want to find into space. Some of you know who I'm talking about,

  92. But you see what drives them now. They want to say I am all

  93. that I can be. That's this guy, Selvin Hues. He wrote the

  94. book Marriage is God Intended. He said, Maslow's hierarchy of needs is okay

  95. except for the last two, because the last two can only be achieved with

  96. a knowledge and a relationship with Jesus Christ. And I'll tell you this is

  97. true. Without Jesus everything starts to go wrong. And this is where the

  98. Lord took me on a tangent. The whole of last Night, next life,

  99. the danger of the apex, the very thing that signals the return of

  100. Jesus Christ. Well, let's talk about the return of Jesus Christ, something

  101. that we don't hear very often. Now, yesterday we went through a wonderful

  102. World Changes conference and in this conference we had the great you know, sharing

  103. of Brother Leslie Brovella time and of course Pastor without a doubt, it was

  104. an exceptional time and they touched on this well. I want to tell you

  105. you ask my wife for the last six months to a year, this is

  106. already on my lips. Jesus Christ is coming soon. Jesus Christ is coming

  107. soon. Look at the signs of the time, look at the world that

  108. we are living in now. And when they said it yesterday, all these

  109. things were coming back. You know, I had just told my daughter,

  110. Jesus is coming soon. If you look at the signs of the times,

  111. it's there, It's so clear. But you want to know something, I

  112. said, Mom and Dad, we will most likely be with the Lord by

  113. then, but most likely very high probability you and your children you're going to

  114. live through it. That's how close it has come. The speed in which

  115. things are moving is astounding. In fact, I heard a disposition by a

  116. person of the majority faith talking on this, and do you know what he

  117. gave one of the best explanations I have ever heard, and no pastor or

  118. Christian has been able to put it quite the way that he did. And

  119. I have to give him credit for that. And he goes all the way

  120. back. And it started with the feminist movement. Then in the feminist movement

  121. we were too young. It happened in the sixties. And after the feminist

  122. that was in the fifties. And after the feminist movement came promisecuity of the

  123. sixties. And after the promisecurity of the sixties, which is free love,

  124. came the seventies, in which people began to do whatever it is they wanted.

  125. And then we came to the eighties where being gay was already talked about

  126. in secrecy. But then divorces started to happen and become more and become more

  127. and become more. Today in America it is said that nine of marriages divorce

  128. and the divorce. And after the nineties came the year two thousand. In

  129. the two thousands, everybody was very angry. Why were they very angry?

  130. I don't know, but you listen to all the music, you know what

  131. I mean? Very angry music. Every two words was a foulward turn.

  132. Don't take my word for it. Listen to the music of the two of

  133. you know in the two thousand and now let's fast forward to I think it

  134. was two thousand and it's about twelve years ago. It started with the show

  135. Will and Grace. Yeah, have you heard of the show Willa and Grace.

  136. It's a comedy in which homosexual friendship was so prominently displayed for the first

  137. time. But even then they never showed the men in men kissing or you

  138. know, it was always alluding to it, although they they said that's what

  139. they were look at it. Now, how many shows do you find two

  140. women's lips locked. They thought it was okay to do that because it's quite

  141. titillating to the men to see two women locked in kisses. But have you

  142. seen Star Trek Discovery, You'll see two men locking lips. I mean,

  143. it's so prevalent that I have just canceled my subscription to Netflix because I sense

  144. there's an anti Christian movement that is becoming so strong and on. These things

  145. have changed within the last four or five years. Scripture says in two to

  146. Mite three, one to seven. But notice that in the last days perilous

  147. times will come, for men will be lovers of whom themselves lovers of money.

  148. Ratherwella said one of the tough things in these last days. People love

  149. money. It's there in scripture, by the way, lovers of money,

  150. boasters, proud, bless, femous, disobedient to parents. Hey, if

  151. your child is disobedient to you, it was propheteside And you children, if

  152. you are disobedient to your parents, be very careful because you might be on

  153. the wrong side, unthankful and only, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without

  154. self control, brutal, despises of good. Hey, in the US today,

  155. you know, we Malagians sometimes we don't get it. We're so in

  156. a hurry to migrate to Australia, to migrate to Canada, to migrate to

  157. the US. And what's our excuse? Because education there is good. Really,

  158. why are they teaching your kids? You go into a preschool and they're

  159. teaching the child that it's okay to be gay, that children, it's okay

  160. for a boy to say it's a girl, and a girl to say she's

  161. a boy, and parents cannot do anything about it. You open your mind.

  162. You know what happens. The state takes the child sends it to some

  163. wacko of a psychologist who tells them, I will give you the drugs that

  164. will change you. Boys being medically castrated at the age of six, seven,

  165. eight, and by the age of fifteen your bodies are mutilated. This

  166. is not happening in some TV show. This is happening in the world today.

  167. You thank God that we are living here in Asia because it's taken a

  168. little bit longer to reach us. But you know, God gave me an

  169. understanding of why it's not about so much here. Firstly, it won't be

  170. allowed in Malaysia, right, That's okay, We're happy about that. But

  171. in Malaysia we have another kind of thing. Hey, you guys who think

  172. that it's okay to mischurch. I'm not speaking to the ones who are here

  173. today. I'm not speaking the ones who are ill and cannot come. But

  174. I'm speaking the ones who made a decision not to come. There will come

  175. a time when that choice will be removed from you, and then what are

  176. you going to do. Jesus knew what he was saying when he said,

  177. do not forsake the gathering of the saints. Well, if it said in

  178. the word, Jesus said it because Jesus is the world lovers of self?

  179. Do you know that man loves himself today? I mean when we make a

  180. decision to say I do not want to live with my wife anymore, I

  181. don't want to live with my husband anymore. I want to do things my

  182. own way. Well, guess what that's being a lover of self? Because

  183. your God and my God said, then when you marry, it's for life.

  184. So if I have to take what you have to say, and if

  185. I have to take what God has to say, you stand no chance.

  186. Now, I don't want this message to seem like I'm coming across in an

  187. angry tone. No, this is the passion of how the Lord was speaking

  188. to me all night, and I hope that by the end of it,

  189. I'll give you some handles on what to do. But Scripture says that my

  190. people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge, So if nobody is telling you

  191. these things, it will most likely destroy you. Well, I am telling

  192. you these things today. Do you know that boys who have become girls,

  193. and who've had their bodies cut up and mutilated at the age of eight nine

  194. ten are now taking those doctors to court because they're saying, I was too

  195. young, What did I know? What did you do to me? It

  196. cannot be reversed. If you think that those doctors are think thinking of the

  197. children, think again, because it's about the money, honey, there's a

  198. lot of money in this medical gobbled PSYCHOSISMS and psychotic understanding of gender dysphoria.

  199. It's a lie of the devil. Jesus was very clear, even on the

  200. left or on the right, in the middle, I'll spit you out of

  201. my mouth. I finally understand it because people today cannot understand what a male

  202. is and what a female is. Did you know that in Congress? Not

  203. in Congress, but in the senators. You know whatever it is that they

  204. do calling people to talk before the law is done. Ask doctors this simple

  205. question. Can a man have a child? And you know what the doctors

  206. say, Yes, men can bear children. And these are the cycles who

  207. are dealing with our children. So you want to go to the US and

  208. send your kid there. You want to go to Australia. Hey, Canada

  209. has passed the law. If the person is a guy and you call him

  210. at him when he wants to be called at her, they put you in

  211. jail. Twisted scripture has another there's another scripture for it called professing themselves to

  212. be wise? They are fools. God knew what he was talking about when

  213. he said all these things. Can you imagine a medical Can women? Can

  214. men have children? The answer she said was yes, what I have a

  215. little hair on my head. I wanted to pull out at that moment,

  216. but I couldn't grab onto it. I mean, come on, and do

  217. you know that when you start focusing like how Jesus focused? Hey, what

  218. is a woman? There's a video going around, now watch it. What

  219. is a woman? A woman is a person with x X chromosome. Do

  220. you know when you catch them like that, you know what they say?

  221. You hate me? So now you don't understand telling the truth has become hate

  222. speech? Don't you know? This is a signal of the end of times

  223. because now the truth that you have in your word, they are calling it

  224. hate speech. Are you aware? Are you aware that the Bible recently was

  225. banned from schools because it was considered hate speech? So now when you're going

  226. you tell them Jesus loves you, so then I can be whatever it is

  227. I want to be. I mean, come on, if I think this

  228. chair and put it into this chair here and I put food on it,

  229. and I sit on the floor and I eat from the chair, does that

  230. make the chair table. It doesn't matter, because the chair will always be

  231. a chair. But so confused as men become in the stupidity of their own

  232. thoughts that they can't tell the difference. You and I, we better understand.

  233. We are living in the last days. Jesus is coming, so we

  234. have a responsibility. Our first responsibility is to our children. You better start

  235. be teaching them right now that a boy is a boy and will always be

  236. a boy, and a girl is a girl and will always be a girl.

  237. Because if you think that this movement that is going around the world cannot

  238. touch you, the world has gone absolutely mad. Last week it was declared

  239. an emergency for the LGBTQI A, B, C, D, E,

  240. F G commun be read because they are saying hate is being propagated against them.

  241. You know what Jesus says, You love the guy, you love the

  242. person. You know that Jesus does not love ideology. You show me in

  243. the Bible way it says Jesus loves Christianity. It's not there, but what

  244. the scriptures say. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, with

  245. all your soul, with all your mind, and all your strength. And

  246. you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Because God knows we are already twisted

  247. people in our own way. So by loving him and this is the handle,

  248. how do we take care of it? You love God more, and

  249. the more you love God, the more your understanding will become clear. Do

  250. you know that scripture says give us an answer to why our understanding goes crazy?

  251. Okay, I'm gonna share it that scripture with you now. Some of

  252. you may already know it. But professing to be wise, they became fools

  253. and change the glory of the incorruptible God into the image made like corruptible men

  254. and birds and four legged animals and creepy things, creeping things. Therefore,

  255. God gave them up to their uncleanness and the lusts of their hearts to the

  256. dishonor to dishonor their body among themselves. Because we gave up the love of

  257. God and change it for the love of ourselves, our thinking has gone walked

  258. two Timny three was four traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather

  259. than lovers of God. You see, that's the key. The key has

  260. always been the love of God. When we don't get the love of God

  261. right, everything else goes to parts having a form of godliness by denying its

  262. power. And from such people, Bible says, turn away for all this

  263. thought. There are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women,

  264. loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and

  265. never able to learn, to come to knowledge of truth. X one eleven,

  266. it says, men of Galilee, why do you look stand looking to

  267. heaven? This is Jesus saying, who was taken away from you to heaven

  268. will come the same way as you saw him going to heaven. You know

  269. that a lot of people don't believe this anymore because they don't believe God anymore.

  270. And why don't they believe God anymore? Because they believe in themselves.

  271. Hey, guys, your life is facing an onslaught. Are you just gonna

  272. sit there and take it? We should be talking to our children and among

  273. ourselves every day, reminding us love the Lord, your God. It's the

  274. only thing that's going to keep us saying, this world is going to go

  275. crazy around us. And in case any of us miss it, one of

  276. the biggest purposes of the pandemic was to take us to online finance. What

  277. descriptions say in revelations without the market the best they she'll neither sell nor buy.

  278. And you ask anybody in those days, they would not have been able

  279. to see it. Today, it's very simple. You don't countou. They

  280. can block all your accounts, block your credit card, block your bank account.

  281. You have no money to buy or sell. You know how easy it

  282. is easy as ABC. And every Sunday when we give the altar call and

  283. we say getting to know Jesus is as easy as ABC, many think,

  284. no, not today, who is this Jesus. I'm not interested to know

  285. him. Your liberties are stick and the only one who can keep you free

  286. is Jesus Christ. When that altar call is given to you today, if

  287. you do not know him, believe in him because he's the only one who's

  288. got things held in your hands in his hands. He's the only one who

  289. cares for you the way you should be careful. I cannot get over some

  290. of these things that people are doing. Do you know how many different genders

  291. they are in the world today? According to the wise men, about one

  292. hundred and eighty At last count. You thought it was lg L LGBTQ plus.

  293. Now it is plus plus plus one hundred and eighty times. And these

  294. people think that they are wise. I mean, okay, we go back

  295. to start treker. There is one couple there where the guy behaves like a

  296. girl and he's in relationship with a girl who acts like a guy. What's

  297. the matter with you? Now? Why can't I see it? And why

  298. can't they see it? Because the eyes of our understanding has been opened through

  299. our belief in Jesus Christ. You know this coming x men, devotion and

  300. l The Maighbel pointed out, ask me anything challenger was not a challenge to

  301. see houseman, I am you ask me any question? Or the earth?

  302. Does the moons on Saturn have water? And I'm supposed to give you that

  303. answer. No, it's not that kind of challenge. But the moons on

  304. the at Saturn does have water, okay, at least two moons. But

  305. the challenge was, if you have the challenge and the courage to ask me

  306. a question, I will have the courage to answer you, to try and

  307. give you an answer I cannot. I hope you can catch my heart that

  308. our children I at risk. They are at risk. The Internet proliferates this

  309. nonsense. Do not think that your prohibition of the Internet will change anything.

  310. So rather than pretend it doesn't exist, teach your children that when they see

  311. this crap rejected. You want to send your kids to Australia to study,

  312. you send them as a man and they comeback as a girl. And you

  313. know what, you're expected to accept it. And when you say no,

  314. chromosomely you're a boy, you have the man bits be you Noah that as

  315. babies, you all look the same except from the navel down. That's the

  316. only way you can tell it's true. The only way you can tell a

  317. baby after it's been born whether it's a boy or a girl, is from

  318. the navel down. Other than that they all look the same. It takes

  319. years before they develop into what they're supposed to be. But that's part in

  320. parcel or puberty to develop. And in the States, do you want to

  321. give puberty blockers? You know as puberty blockers, the same chemical used to

  322. castrate rapists are being used on kids to block puberty. Then there's this other

  323. thing. These creatures want to participate in women's sports, and the women,

  324. I'm sorry to say this, take this lying down, taking anyway which way

  325. you want. You know, what if if I was a woman and that

  326. happened, I say, keep your sport. Not interested. There was a

  327. m fight. This guy who decided after he was twenty or thirty years old

  328. that he was a woman, ran in and thrashed the woman opponent. And

  329. guess what. The press started celebrating him, oh, or her, whatever

  330. you call it, you know, celebrating and say, wow, what a

  331. fantastic thing, and the whole world was clapping. I am sorry. I

  332. have words for them that I can say on the mike, starting with the

  333. letter I and ending with the letter T, and then as after that,

  334. I got ten minutes and I haven't even recorded. My message is okay,

  335. that's okay, because I think this is more important. But what are you

  336. gonna do? You say it cannot come here. Let me tell you that

  337. when the States have finished confusing everyone in the States, they will say,

  338. you want to do business with me? You have the same ideology. Hey,

  339. we're not very far behind okay, because our neighbor down south is all

  340. for it. A neighbor up north has had more than two sexes for as

  341. long as I've been alive. Taiwan is for it. China can't be bothered

  342. one way or the other. Korea is for it, Japan is for it.

  343. Where do you stand unless we will be We are satisfied to eat grass

  344. all the days of our life. The pressure will come to this country.

  345. It may not happen during my wife and my lifetime, but it will definitely

  346. happen during your children's lifetime. Everything that I've explained to you has only happened

  347. in the last five years, and you think that we are safe from it.

  348. Scripture says in Matthew twenty thirty seven. But as the days of Noah

  349. war, so also will be the coming of the sun, So also will

  350. be the coming of the sun of men. Be For as in the days

  351. before the floods, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving to marriage

  352. until the day that Noah entered the up. They did not know until the

  353. flood came and took them all away. So all so also will the coming

  354. of man be. You know what this means. This simply means that people

  355. will just live lives the way they have always lived life, and the end

  356. will come. It means that everything that I have told you is going to

  357. become such a norm, because there's another scripture that says, as in the

  358. days of Luck, it's going to be so commonplace that we won't even bat

  359. an eyelid. Jesus will come. In Revelations one seven, it says,

  360. behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him,

  361. even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail

  362. on account of him. Even so Amen. In Luke seventeen twenty eighth thirty,

  363. it says, likewise, as it was also in the days of Lot,

  364. they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted,

  365. they built. But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom,

  366. it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so it

  367. will be in the day with the Son of Man is revealed. I'm really

  368. not going to get to every other point that's in the slight. I'm not.

  369. I don't have the time. So you want to know what Jesus is

  370. concerned with, Let me tell you a few things, and just just just

  371. tell you that Jesus is not concerned with pointing out how wrong we a He's

  372. not. When the woman was brought before him, caught in adultery, and

  373. they all said, this one was caught in adultery, What shall we do?

  374. Should we stone her? Jesus wrote in the ground. He didn't bother

  375. to look up with them, And then casually he looks up and he said,

  376. okay, you you don't see. If you're not seeing, you throw

  377. let me tell you. Jesus response, he can't be bothered. Ah,

  378. Jesus can't be bothered with the sin that's blasphemy. You've got to understand that

  379. Jesus is not bothered with the accusation of us, because there's an accuser of

  380. the brethren who stands before the Lord, always before the Lord, dear knight,

  381. accusing us before God. Is Jesus. Hey, he didn't even pay

  382. attention to those people men read the scripture. He couldn't be bothered with them.

  383. And when they all left, he looks up to the woman said where

  384. the people? He said, there's no one here, no one to condemn

  385. you know, well, I don't condemn you. Go and sit no more?

  386. What is he concerned about your restoration? He is not concerned about finding

  387. for and Christians are so busy finding for with others, Oh this person that

  388. Jesus was only concerned with the person being saved. The second thing is he

  389. went to the woman and a well. Why is hey, he went to

  390. the woman that well, because that's exactly why he went to the well to

  391. meet that woman. And he tells the woman, I need a drink,

  392. and she says, you have nothing to draw water from. How can you

  393. get a drink? Then Jesus tells her why he came to the well.

  394. Hey, it's not about me getting a drink, is about you getting a

  395. drink? I'm paraphrasing. By the way you read that scripture, you will

  396. find nothing saying that Jesus took a drink in that well. He didn't.

  397. He went to the well to meet the woman. And when he and when

  398. she said that to him, he says, if you drink from me,

  399. you won't ever thirst. Then she says, I perceive your prophet. And

  400. then the question, the burning question of our heart, of her heart,

  401. she asks the Lord, And that's what drew Jesus to that place. What

  402. was that question? Scripture says. Or people say we got to worship here,

  403. Jews say, we got to worship in in Jerusalem. Where shall be

  404. worship The biggest question in our heart was worshiped? If that's the question in

  405. your heart, Jesus will come to you, man, he will meet you.

  406. That question brought this woman to him, And Jesus said, they that

  407. worshiped me in spirit and in truth, That's what I'm after. And then

  408. the woman I can imagine a woman running away from him forgetting a bucket,

  409. forgetting everything. She runs back to the village and she tells everybody, I

  410. met someone who told me about my whole life, and he is or could

  411. it be the Messiah. Then the people run to Jesus and hear him talk.

  412. Then they look at the woman say, no longer do we believe because

  413. of you. We believe because we've heard one connection, heart felt connection with

  414. Jesus turned that woman into an evangelist. You and I were living in the

  415. last days. Will we not have those kind of burning questions that will draw

  416. the Lord into our presence so that one meeting will turn us into the people

  417. he wants us to be. Because the days are shot we have no time.

  418. We have no time. You know this is elimiable. Has helped me

  419. share this message so many times. But it's a completely new one, isn't

  420. We need Jesus in our lives. And if you want to have a personal

  421. connection with him, you only have to see what made him tick in the

  422. Bible, what draws God to us? We as we have to draw near

  423. to him, right, okay, you know what we have to draw near

  424. to him with. We have to draw near to him with the questions that

  425. make him pick, and he will come to us with answers. And man,

  426. when the Lord gives us the answer, we're no longer the same.

  427. When that guy and I shared this before, the one friend of mine rich

  428. person had his own yacht. How many people here know people who own their

  429. own yat? Can I see your ends? None? Okay, I'm one.

  430. When we went in school in Singapore, he had his own car.

  431. Look, this was seventy eight years ago. Just tells you how really well

  432. to do he was. He had a ship. And the only thing that

  433. I told him was which I wrote in an autograph book, which I ready

  434. forgot, was if you run into difficulty, call on the name of Jesus

  435. and he will come and help you. And then this guy goes on his

  436. yacht and something happens, and he's about to die. He's alone in the

  437. middle of the ocean, and of all things, he remembers what I had

  438. written ten years earlier when he told me, how did you become a Christian?

  439. He says, you are to blame. I'm to blame. What do

  440. you mean say, don't you remember what you wrote in your autograph? How

  441. can I remember? It's been now when I connected with him, twenty five

  442. to thirty years had passed. He said, when I was about to die,

  443. I remembered what you wrote in the autograph book, and I called on

  444. the name of Jesus, and he came to me on the water, and

  445. he's saved me. Those are his words. You know what he did.

  446. He changed his whole life. He gave up all his riches, and today

  447. he's a pastor. What's burning in your heart? That's the thing you bring

  448. before the Lord. And you and I as parents, we haven't a choice

  449. because, and I'm speaking to parents now, it is very likely your kids

  450. and mine will see the return of Jesus there. We take the risk that

  451. it won't happen. Ravella said, yesterday, live life. Let me see

  452. if I can code it right. Okay, An if I'm wrong, you'll

  453. help me. He said, um, live life, or do your best,

  454. you know, as if you've got ten thousand days to live. But

  455. live for Christ as if he's coming tomorrow, meaning do do your work one

  456. for a thousand you know, you know, ten thousand days or something like

  457. that. But live life as if he's or do do it every day as

  458. he is coming back tomorrow, meaning that you and I we have a responsibility.

  459. And when he said that, it spoke to my heart, and maybe

  460. that's why you know, I literally did not I'm going to crash afterwards.

  461. The moment I finished this message, I sit down and the last song is

  462. done. Most likely I'm going to be walking like I'm a thousand years old

  463. because the Lord was speaking to me all night about this. He knows something.

  464. He knows something is about to break very soon, and he's giving you

  465. an opportunity to be ready for it. My people are destroyed for lack of

  466. knowledge. Well now you know, so don't get caught up with this crap

  467. that the world is throwing your way. Recognize it for what it is.

  468. Do not be sympathetic towards it. Sympathize with the people. Love the people.

  469. You don't have to accept the ideology. And then when they say,

  470. oh, you know, I'm sorry, I do not believe in all these

  471. things. I'm supposed to love you, but I don't love what you do,

  472. they will call it hate speech. They will call it hate speech,

  473. and they will cancel you. That's the word, isn't it cancel culture?

  474. Woke culture. I just woke up from a sleep. And now when I've

  475. woken up, I think I'm clever, but actually I'm not. And they

  476. will try and cancel you. And that's why it will be very easy for

  477. the countries in the West to cancel Jesus, because Jesus is not confused like

  478. they are. Don't you see why they are banning the Bible in schools.

  479. Don't you see why they are vilifying all the Christian churches? And guess what.

  480. There are some clowns in the Christian Kingdom who have mistaken the love of

  481. the person for a love of the ideology when they cannot even remember that Jesus

  482. did not even love religion. He loved people. Guys. Let's not forget

  483. this message. Let's not forget this word. Those of you that I'm speaking

  484. to that are on camera. Jesus loves each and every one of us as

  485. a person, irrespective of ideology. Even if I think the way that I

  486. was talking about those people, it makes no difference. He loves you,

  487. and it is only through loving Him will you get a clear understanding of what

  488. you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to live your life, and how

  489. you be to be prepared. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
