  20. God for it. Because of the seriousness of this message.

  21. I just require the prayers of every saying of God

  22. that they would pray earnestly throughout this whole Servant here

  23. that God has given us. If you haven't, let's stand

  24. for the reading and the reverence of God's word Hebrews

  28. Romans chapter six and twenty three.

  29. For the wages of.

  52. the church said amen.

  53. How they now going back to Hebrews chapter eleven and

  54. twenty five, notice with me there it says, choosing rather

  55. to suffer the affliction with the people of God, this

  56. right here, the latter part, then to enjoy the pleasures

  57. of sin for a season. Now, a season is just

  58. something that's a short ways of time and it doesn't

  59. last long. It's only temporary. That means it will be

  60. over in just a short while, you know, And that's

  61. what That's the way sin is. You know. We we

  62. like to commit sin, or the devil likes to give

  63. us that short season of joy, that short little pleasure,

  64. but it's not there to stay.

  65. Where has a You're you're you're You're.

  66. Going to enjoy the fact of committing your sin for

  67. for a little while, but soon you'll feel empty again.

  68. You'll go looking for.

  69. Something else that will give you that thrill that you

  70. got the first time, and it will lead you further.

  71. The second time, and it takes you further and further

  72. away from where God's told you to be because you're

  73. searching for it thrill. You're searching for that same sjoy

  74. that you had the first time. You're looking for that

  75. same drenaline rush. If you will, I know what it's

  76. like to commits in well, used to, but every time

  77. you know, it felt good in the moment, it fell

  78. right in the moment, but as soon as it was over,

  79. you felt convintion and said why did I do that?

  80. They're that same empty that's feeling again. They're that same

  81. grief and saying why do.

  82. I keep doing that? And that's what for a.

  83. Little while I like to preach on us trading or sorry,

  84. going from thrills.

  85. To shrills, Going from a thrill to a shrill.

  86. And now a thrill is a sudden feeling over excitement

  87. and pleasure.

  88. Now a shrill is.

  89. A hot pitch sound or cry. Whenever you get to Hell,

  90. there will be a hot pitch cry and it will

  91. be a shrill like you've never heard before.

  92. You'll say, well is that noise? And little do you

  93. know is coming from your own body?

  94. As you realize that you have chosen again, a thrill,

  95. and it leads you to the depth of hell, and.

  96. You swill in pain, and you cry and out of

  97. it and you hide. My thrills have led me to pain.

  98. You're losing track of time.

  99. You don't have much time to lift. You need to

  100. quit searching for that next thrill. It's leading you into

  101. eternal thrills of pain, eternal pride of pain.

  102. As you're in help of eternity and you.

  103. Reid that you traded.

  104. The wrong things. You chose short lip joy over returning eternity.

  105. Lift just for a real quick fix.

  106. Ain't you a real quick joy over eternal life? You

  107. will suffer eternal pain. The people of this world love

  108. to act like they're.

  109. Living the best life.

  110. They love to tell you of the soul things on

  111. other things, talk good and you know of the good

  112. times like they like to say, Hey, I'm going to

  113. party this week and I'm gonna have a good time.

  114. That all a lie from the pits of hell. The

  115. devil don't know what a good time is you're talking about.

  117. mine with all you in your heart, not worrying about it.

  121. him tell you that to try.

  122. To convince you, because the devil miserable. There's that same

  123. misery loves company. The devil he knows what he's got coming.

  124. He's so if he can create the biggest misery party

  125. he can because of his failure, because he tried.

  126. To overthrow the kakam of God.

  127. He wants to watch you supper with him.

  128. He's already going, and he's trying to drag you with it.

  129. That's why he offers these faith thrills that only live

  130. for a season.

  131. But again't you take it hook on and say there

  132. think you're thinking that it's gonna last.

  133. The devil knows what real joy is. He was a head.

  134. He knows what piece is.

  135. That's why he offers you with faithful because he don't

  136. want you to take no party in what he had.

  137. He offers these faith thrills that ties because he tried

  138. to make it seem like it's what he has. You're

  139. so blind to buy the thrills of this world that

  140. is leading.

  147. man put the end.

  148. There are the ways of death. It's the way of death.

  149. That thrill that you keep testing that that's sin that

  150. you just keep having to come in again.

  151. One day.

  152. It's not gonna give off the same thrill that did

  153. the first time. There's drug at it that are in

  154. this world. They start with one drug. They take that

  155. drug until it does to do what it used to do.

  156. Then they know to something else and they get a

  157. little eye off that one, and they have found my fix.

  158. That thing they know. They tried all of them that

  159. there is.

  160. There isn't another drug they can take, and they just

  161. can't find that high.

  162. They walden and.

  163. They end up going to the end of a rosa,

  164. or they end up taking their life, or they end

  165. up falling into a deep dark depressions because they can't

  166. stop testing out.

  167. The thrills of the devil, because they're trying to find

  168. that same fix again. You're convinced you've got time, you're

  169. convinced your ways right.

  170. Your way is the way of death. Your way of

  171. the sin is death the.

  172. Devil one day pay for your work.

  173. One day you'll say it's time that I received payment,

  174. and it takes your life with him, right to the

  175. pits of hell.

  176. Once you've ventured that place, there is no coming back.

  177. You will have her seen sin salary. Whatever the way

  178. the sin is paid for, what's the way of the sin?

  179. First of all, the Bible says death, then pain, then loneliness,

  180. then agony. As you fall into the deepest and darkest

  181. burning hell and whole that has ever exists.

  182. And ever will exist.

  183. You try these short thrills in sin will be the

  184. longest pay thrill you've ever had.

  185. Hell will be your final thrill. But it's not going

  186. to be the thrills.

  187. You thought it would be, because you chose.

  188. Death over life.

  189. You sit there and.

  190. Let Jesus die for your sin. Jesus died for your sin.

  191. He didn't die to take your place in hell. He

  192. died for the sins. Jesus paid for the sin, but

  193. he didn't pay for your place in hell. He tried

  194. giving you an opportunity day to receive great to retinet

  195. forgiveness so that you wouldn't have to go to hell.

  196. But you can either accept his birth day or you

  197. can reject them and keep committing those thrills, and.

  198. You will pay. Why one of these days, coworker the church,

  199. that coworker.

  200. That knows you say you were a holiness boy, you're

  201. a holding this woman or a holdiness man. They convince

  202. you to go and try something that they do well.

  203. They may me convince you, though, to say a certain worder,

  204. or to tell a certain joker, even try to make

  205. you think a certain way.

  206. But whenever you're.

  207. In hell, they will be the one that nash is

  208. on you with their team said why did.

  209. You not tell me of the place?

  210. Why did you let me convince you that the thrills

  211. of the world was better than what you had? They

  212. will be the one with any with rediment saying why.

  213. They're gonna say, why didn't you tell me of the

  214. road to Heaven? Of the roads and came, why am

  215. I here?

  216. You're to blame for my paint, You're the blame for

  217. the dignity agony. You're the blame for this. There will

  218. be no happiness in hell. They will pick on you.

  219. They will mock you, You will mock them.

  220. You will be.

  221. Burning in hell for eternity with no way to get

  222. away from your pain and misery.

  223. God.

  224. When you get there, every soul that is there.

  225. They're gonna say, another weak one has a rived, Another

  226. coward has a ride, another one without a backbone.

  227. Has a ride. And they ask you where my scripture

  228. is for that? Go to Isaiah fourteen and nine and ten.

  229. Heaven needs this mood for thee to meet thee. After coming,

  230. it stirs up the dead, even all the chief ones

  231. up the earth. It has raised up their thrones and

  232. all the kingdoms of the.

  233. Nation right here verse ten. And they shall say, or

  234. they shall speak and say that to thee art, thou

  235. also become weak.

  236. As we part, Thou become like unto us?

  237. Are you a coward like we are? Are you? Are

  238. you just another one of us that they just couldn't

  239. get it off.

  240. With the thrills? You know, there's there are risk takers.

  241. I think they're called those people that they seek. They

  242. seek adrenalin rushes. They start out by maybe climbing a

  243. little tower, right, and then they have to go onto

  244. something bigger.

  245. They say, Okay, let me try a mountain. So they

  246. start trying to.

  247. Climb the mountain. Well, then they get told that that

  248. that no longer gets from the thrill that they once had.

  249. So they say, well, let me try without climbing gear.

  250. Let me try without all the safeties. That's what's gonna

  251. happen to you.

  252. One day. You're gonna get talked up with the small

  253. things and don't say, well, I handled it that way,

  254. I escaped death that way.

  255. Let me try without the safety and you're gonna be

  256. me meant by the devil, as he says, welcome to

  257. your final destination.

  258. I fooled you.

  259. I have to convince that my way was the best way.

  260. Little do you know you have been deceived. What what

  261. is it that that just fascinates you, that causes you

  262. to keep pushing the limits. If you keep pushing the limits,

  263. one day you're gonna find no resistance. You're gonna realize

  264. that God said, you know what. They have pushed so much.

  265. They've lost their checking ballance, They've stared their conscience. It's

  266. officially seied no more what I preach, No matter what

  267. the pastor catches a burden.

  268. About your form.

  269. You let it. Do anyone here, let it do out

  270. the other service after service time, and time agains revival

  271. after revivle.

  272. You sair it, you say it and tell your heart

  273. is so.

  274. Hard that you're no longer moved.

  275. God, Jesus is the.

  276. Only one that can deliver you from your sin.

  277. God said his word, my spirit shall not always.

  278. Strive with men.

  279. You're consistent with chasing your next drill, and it's leading

  280. you down a path that.

  281. You've told yourself you would never go. There's a saving

  282. in this world, or we hear the lie in the church.

  283. I should say, sin will cost you more than you

  284. wanted to pay. It'll keep you longer than you wanted

  285. to stay. That is so true. You're gonna pay more

  286. than you ever bargained for whatever perhaps you lead. You

  287. may be married, you may not be married. I don't

  288. know who I'm preaching to tonight. I just know what

  289. God give me. But you might cost your entire family

  290. if you don't make sure you're right. If you don't

  291. quit seeking those thrills, your children will know what it's

  292. like to scream and pain that they say, Daddy left

  293. me here, Rather left me here, I followed dar I

  294. got it the way they've done it. I went done

  295. the same things that they've done.

  296. They thrilled is what this has got me?

  297. This has got me paid, This has got me hanging.

  298. I thought I had good parents. Praise God, God and

  299. Jesus could be coming to you tonight, God, with one

  300. more chance to see if you will receive him. In

  301. the bottle of said he came into his own and

  302. his own received him. Not his own is in the

  303. building tonight, His children are in the building tonight. We

  304. all received him. But senter, friend, He's coming to you

  305. one more time tonight to see if this time you

  306. will receive him. Perhaps if you don't receive him, there's

  307. a drug add him that's out on the street in.

  308. That by way that God will say, I know they're

  309. at the lowest point of their lives.

  310. I know they will receive what I have for perhaps

  311. they're the homeless Bertha that gets fed every Thursday.

  312. Night, that God that I know they want what I have,

  313. or maybe someone that here's the preaching on the street

  314. every Saturday.

  315. God knows that they want what he has, and he says,

  316. no more, I have your replacement.

  317. I don't want to be any He came up to

  318. it all and I don't received him.

  319. Not.

  320. If you don't receive him tonight, you may not him

  321. get a chance to again. I ain't promising nothing. I

  322. don't claim to be one. I'm just saying it could

  323. be your last chance. You don't know.

  324. You'll not promise tomorrow. You could drump down right now,

  325. I could. Everybody in this better could, or Jesus could call.

  326. Where would you, being God.

  327. As we fly away to our eternal rewards?

  328. Will I look over at the angel beside me and

  329. see you on his weeks? Or if I fly away,

  330. will I hear your shrill as you cry out as

  331. reality said Sam, that you just missed the rapture that

  332. your eternal destination. There's a lake of fires, whether it's advertorment,

  333. Wave Me, Whiting and Nash Good Teams.

  334. Here's a drug head that knows what the thrills of

  335. sin will do.

  336. That.

  337. Do you realize, Jesus God for us and for the

  338. whole world?

  339. Do you realize that for the whole world everybody is

  340. gonna accept him?

  341. Unfortunately, but the grace of God has appeared and will

  342. appear to every soul, every soul. There will not be

  343. a soul.

  344. That gets to heaven and had an argument with God,

  345. and say you they.

  346. Try to preaching me one more time, you won't have

  347. an argument. You won't have to be the stand on.

  348. You can say to whatever you want to say about

  349. a preacher. Why you love me?

  350. Tell God you didn't least for me like you should.

  351. You might have realized that your check is on that

  352. though not gonna get to heaven.

  353. I don't want tut man.

  354. You don't know if you're gonna have that can talk

  355. that what.

  356. The father?

  357. Don't say that it's over right now? It doesn't it

  358. too long to be thinking a risk like this, yous?

  359. This you w ever like the legal files up, you

  360. better receive Jesus.

  361. In high Sunday gotta hid come.

  371. Extra mile? One has to go one go twain.

  372. I kick I word.

  373. I said I would pull and I was cold, and

  374. I would cool. Then I would draw and then I

  375. would draw, but my spirit shall not always roup with me,

  376. because the person does come to the end of the

  377. road discerning conscious, concerning opportunity somebody, and they.

  378. Know who they are.

  379. Right again, there's their opportunity. You're right by side for

  380. their chance, for the differences.
